The Duel

What happened last night did not affect Shijian. The next day, he still went to school with Naruto.

The morning class was a cultural subject. At first, Hashirama Senju and the other two were very interested, but after listening for a while, they got bored. Madara even complained: What's the use of learning this as a ninja?

However, Hashirama Senju shut him down with, "These are the ninjas of the peaceful era~".

That's what they said, but the three of them still honestly ended the call.

After all, it wouldn't be good to disturb Shijian in class, so the three of them decided to save time and contact Shijian after school.

The morning's academic classes passed quickly, and the afternoon classes... finally came to the taijutsu class, unique to ninjas.

However, since it was the beginning of the semester, the physical education class was nothing special and was the same as regular physical education class.

However, they did teach some physical skills. For example, after running a few laps, the physical skills teacher gave some pointers on how to react to and dodge attacks.

Instead of teaching how to attack, they taught how to defend and dodge first.

Even Banye laughed when he saw this: How boring! If we taught children this in our time, let alone living to 30, it would be a question whether they would even live past 6.

After a moment of silence, Hashirama responded with, "These are the ninjas of peacetime," and then added, "In our time, we could only fight to survive, but these kids have six years of schooling, so there's no rush!"

That's right, just before school ended, the three of them contacted each other again and saw this scene on the other side.

Tobirama Senju also noticed other things: "The children of ninja clans learn faster than ordinary children. It seems that ninja clans provide their children with special education before they start school."

They immediately discovered the imbalance in education between commoners and ninja families.

"It seems that teaching these skills isn't just a matter of peacetime; the school also aims to care for children who have never been exposed to physical martial arts before!"

"Whatever, boring is boring!" Ban curled his lip dismissively, then looked at Shijian with an impatient tone, "Kids, when do you get out of school?"

"Let's calculate the time..." Since it wasn't in class, Shi Jian was able to answer a few questions, "It should be about time."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the teacher who taught physical skills, Funano Daikoku, had already gathered the children together.

"That concludes today's lesson." Funano Daikoku clapped his hands and said with a serious expression, "Remember, starting today, I will be teaching your physical combat and throwing classes. In one month, I will conduct a practical physical combat assessment, so I hope everyone will not slack off during this time."

After saying that, his serious expression turned into a smile.

"Now... get out of class dismissed! Everyone, please be careful on your way home."

As soon as those words were spoken, the children, who had been looking somewhat dejected upon hearing about the practical assessment, burst into cheers.

Shi Jian also turned his body, preparing to go home... oh, no, preparing to tell stories to the three people behind him, but just as he was about to leave.

A handsome young man with his hands in his pockets, followed by a group of girls, walked up to him.

Shijian: ? ? ?

Uchiha Sasuke?

What does this guy want from him?

Speaking of which, he felt that Sasuke Uchiha had been secretly watching him yesterday, and there were also those things Naruto said last night. Could this guy be targeting him?

Before Shi Jian could even speak, the already cool-looking Uchiha Sasuke, despite his young age, stood before him with his hands in his pockets, looking down at Shi Jian with an air of superiority. "Shi Jian, I hope you won't disappoint me a month from now!"

After saying that, without waiting for Shi Jian, who was still stunned, to say anything, he turned around and left with his female admirers.

Shijian: ...

This guy really has his eye on me!

But why?

Just as Shijian was completely bewildered, Hashirama Senju's voice came again, "The Uchiha's child?"

He scratched his head, a puzzled look in his voice, "This kid seems kind of familiar?"

After saying that, just as he was about to raise his head to say something to Uchiha Madara, he saw that Uchiha Madara was staring blankly at the Uchiha child, but before the surprised Senju Hashirama could say anything,

Beside him, Tobirama Senju, with his arms crossed, spoke in a complex yet cold tone, "Uchiha... Izuna!"

But the words had barely left his mouth.

"Hmph, that wasn't Izuna. Izuna has already been killed by you, you despicable scoundrel!" It seemed that because of Tobirama Senju's words, Madara Uchiha came back to his senses, and the complexity in his eyes also subsided. At this moment, he only retorted to Tobirama Senju, and did not seem to want to argue with him.

Madara Uchiha's gaze fell on Ishigami again. "Who's that brat? He looks like he deserves a beating, nothing like Izuna!"

"Uchiha Sasuke, the youngest son of the current Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku."

"Uchiha Sasuke..." Upon hearing Shi Jian's words, a complex emotion flashed across Madara Uchiha's eyes again, but it quickly disappeared after he muttered something to himself. With an arrogant tone, he looked at Shi Jian, "How dare he have that face? Kid, in a month, give him a good beating! Defeat him!"

"???" x3

At this moment, not only Ishigami, but even Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju standing to the side were stunned. They seemed not to have expected that Madara Uchiha would let Ishigami beat up one of his clansmen, and one who looked like Izuna.

What are they trying to do?

But Shi Jian still scratched his head, and said in an embarrassed tone, "Although I really don't want to admit it, to be honest, I might be..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Before Shi Jian could finish speaking, Ban interrupted him impatiently, "If you defeat that brat, I'll give you another gift!"

"?!"

Madara, so magnanimous!

After hearing this, what is there to hesitate about?

Shi Jian rolled up his sleeves, a confident smile on his face. "No problem. Trust my martial arts skills. Bullying... beating up a brat is more than enough!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's face suddenly darkened as if he had remembered something. "Stop! You can't use your taijutsu!"

"Madara, you're making things difficult for me!"

"Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you Uchiha-style taijutsu." Uchiha Madara glared at Ishigami. "Forget all your messy taijutsu; I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"?!"

Teach me the Uchiha Fluid Technique?

Before the stunned Shi Jian could say anything, at this moment...

"Yes, yes, yes~" Hashirama Senju's voice rang out again, "We really should teach Ishigami, otherwise, what if he dies? Madara is so thoughtful. Hmm, in that case, I'll teach you Senju-ryu Jutsu too!"

"Hmph." Tobirama Senju, standing to the side, also snorted coldly. "What's the point of learning those messy taijutsu of the Uchiha school? Without the Sharingan, you can't unleash your full power. If you want to defeat the Uchiha, you must learn the Senju-ryu jutsu. The Senju-ryu jutsu is the ultimate, and I'll teach you!"

"You despicable scoundrel!" Madara glared at Tobirama Senju with a dark expression upon hearing this. "But I was the one who spoke first!"

"I never expected that you, the inherently evil Uchiha Madara, would utter such naive words." Tobirama Senju showed no sign of backing down. "Whoever speaks first teaches? How laughable. If that were the case, I would have taught this child the Flying Thunder God Technique before!"

"you……"

"Oh dear, oh dear, stop arguing, both of you." Seeing the two about to start arguing again, Hashirama Senju, looking exasperated, quickly tried to calm them down. Then, turning to Ishigami, he said, "I think we should ask the child who he wants to learn from."

As soon as these words were spoken, three gazes immediately fell on Shi Jian, causing Shi Jian, who was watching the show, to raise an eyelid and look at Senju Hashirama speechlessly. However, after seeing the apologetic look in Senju Hashirama's eyes, he immediately understood what Hashirama meant and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Who did you learn from?

If you ask him, he'd definitely learn from Madara!

There's no way around it, Madara is just too generous!

However, if you don't learn from Tobirama Senju, it will probably be difficult to learn any ninjutsu from him later.

and so……

Shi Jian scratched his head, then took a deep breath, looked at the three people in front of him, and chuckled awkwardly, "I'll learn both of them, Lord Hashirama, what do you think?"
