Number one freshman?
Regarding this title, Watergate heard it for the first time, the most outstanding person in their batch has always been Uchiha Yan.
In the last battle, Uchiha Yan didn't win, because at the end of the battle, Uchiha Yan was distracted because he lost control and used the Grand Fireball Technique, so he took advantage of this opportunity to easily subdue him.
Otherwise, if they continued to fight, the outcome would be uncertain.
However, the students in the Ninja Academy didn't understand this, and on the surface, it was indeed Watergate who won in the end.
Therefore, Uchiha Yan's title as the number one freshman was naturally replaced by Watergate.
Hearing this, Watergate shook his head and explained, "Rope Tree senpai, I'm not the number one freshman, Uchiha Yan is also very strong, I didn't really defeat him …"
"But if it's sparring, I have no problem." Then, he added.
Rope Tree didn't understand the reason for the victory and defeat, but when he heard Watergate's words, he felt that he was a very humble person.
Looking at the figure that was half a head shorter than him, Rope Tree had a feeling that he met a strong opponent.
"In that case, let's start!" Immediately, he smiled and walked to the open space in the backyard.
"Watergate, you …" The two suddenly wanted to fight, which was beyond Jiraiya's expectation. It's not that he objected, but after the morning training, Watergate's physical strength hasn't fully recovered.
In this case, it's easy to get injured if he fights with Rope Tree.
But when he saw the determination in the latter's eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Sensei, thank you."
Watergate also saw the worry in Jiraiya's eyes, and he thought that the latter would be grateful.
It's not that he's trying to be brave, but the recovery of his body is beyond his imagination. Up to now, although the fatigue of his body hasn't fully recovered, he has no problem in sparring with others.
What's more, he hadn't used any Chakra in the morning training.
Walking into the field, Watergate stood a few meters away from the Rope Tree and saluted. This is the etiquette of the Ninja School, and it is also the etiquette of the Wood Leaf Village.
Rope Tree bowed slightly, then his eyes narrowed as he said, "Then, I'm going to start!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed directly towards Watergate. His figure was so fast that he even stirred up a slight gust of wind, which fluttered the bangs on Watergate's forehead.
He punched towards Watergate's face, it wasn't difficult to judge the strength of the Rope Tree from the strong wind, and his movement speed was even faster than Uchiha Yan.
As expected of someone who received guidance from Tsunade and Orochimaru!
Although Watergate's strength isn't small, he didn't mean to compete with Rope Tree, not to mention that he is still young, so he has no advantage in this regard.
Rope Tree's speed is very fast, but this is Watergate's strength. He directly dodged Rope Tree's punch, and at the same time, his left hand formed a knife-like hand and chopped towards Rope Tree's neck.
In the case of a straight punch, it's one of the most difficult movements for the human body to withdraw the strength, and the neck is one of the most vulnerable parts.
There's no need to use all the strength at all, as long as the opponent is hit, even if they don't faint, they will be dizzy, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Rope Tree slightly glanced sideways and noticed Watergate's movement. With the latter's speed, it's too late for him to form a defense.
However, since this is the case, then he will take the initiative to attack!
Immediately, he made a move with his left leg and kicked back.
The two bodies staggered and slightly overlapped. Watergate's left side almost touched Rope Tree's body, so this blow was to make Watergate lose his center of gravity.
Watergate's eyes swept over, and he was forced to withdraw his knife-like hand and jump back to avoid Rope Tree's kick.
"So powerful …"
This battle is even more thrilling than the battle with Uchiha Yan. If he was a little slower just now, he would have lost his balance because of Rope Tree senpai's kick. In that case, he wouldn't be able to avoid any of the former's attacks and would be defeated.
Rope Tree was equally shocked. Minato had instantly neutralized his powerful attack and even used it to counterattack. Although Rope Tree's attack was neutralized, it was still enough to surprise him.
"It just so happens that I'm not good at ninjutsu, so let's have a showdown of taijutsu!" Rope Tree immediately smiled, and his impression of Watergate improved a little.
Watergate's heart was slightly cold. Although he has a lot of Chakra, he doesn't know any offensive ninjutsu.
Although he has taken Jiraiya sensei as his teacher, he doesn't seem to have any intention of teaching him ninjutsu.
Even if it's a C-class ninjutsu, it will be difficult for him to deal with it, just like the fireball technique used by Uchiha Yan last time.
Although he can dodge it with the Body Flicker Technique, it will consume a lot of Chakra.
When talking about Chakra, one has to mention the Senju Clan.
Because the members of the Senju Clan are born with a physique beyond that of ordinary people, and this physique brings them a huge amount of Chakra and strength.
Watergate has already experienced the strength of Rope Tree, and his Chakra is definitely above Uchiha Yan, so the ninjutsu he releases will probably be stronger than him.
After all, he was taught by Tsunade and Orochimaru.
This is undoubtedly good news for Watergate.
Whoosh!
After saying that, Rope Tree rushed again and launched another round of strong attacks.
Watergate didn't dare to fight with Rope Tree, but he was more flexible, and for a while, it was difficult to determine the winner.
Jiraiya was watching from the side, he knew the level of Watergate and Rope Tree, if it's a simple competition, they should be evenly matched.
But …
After a round of fighting, Minato was unable to dodge, so he took a punch from Shinji. His whole body slumped to the ground, and the two arms in front of him were numb to varying degrees.
"Rope Tree sensei, I lost." Watergate generously admitted defeat.
Rope Tree stretched out his hand to Watergate, and the latter was slightly startled and also stretched out his hand.
After Rope Tree pulled him up, he said, "I can see that you should have gone to practice with Jiraiya -san in the morning, so you are physically exhausted, right?"
Watergate nodded.
"You are really amazing, Tsunade -san taught me for two years, and I can reach this level now, although I don't know how long you have been Jiraiya -san's disciple, but with your age, I lost."
Rope Tree laughed heartily, although his smile wasn't as gentle as Watergate's, it gave people a very cheerful feeling, and people couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
Immediately, he stretched out his right arm and smiled at Watergate, "Let's punch each other, we are friends from now on!"
