“Look at him… he is not running away!”
“You can’t be serious… a kid wants to fight so many Chunin… this is unbelievable!”
“It’s no surprise… Did you guys forget that he is Uchiha Sasuke, the youngest awakener of Sharingan?!”
“Makes sense… he is the genius child from the Uchiha Clan!”
The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in shock and surprise as they saw Uchiha Sasuke taking a fighting stance instead of running away in the face of several Chunin. A child–who is not even ten years old–didn’t even flinch when facing several chunin is really commendable in this day and age when the wars between Shinobi Villages are almost nonexistent.
Perfectly aware of Sasuke’s strength, Itachi couldn’t help but sigh, “If it was just one chunin, Sasuke would win no doubt about it… but so three of them at the same time… this battle is going to be very difficult for him.”
Sasuke’s mother, Mikoto complained with a slightly dissatisfied tone, “This kid is getting more and more reckless as he is growing older.” Although she complained, there was a smile on her face.
At the same time, Fugaku folded his hands over his chest and said proudly, “Sasuke is going to be just fine. This is how Uchiha should be…”
…
On the five Kage’s side
“I had assumed that this was going to be a boring assessment… but, who would have thought it would suddenly become so exciting!” said Raikage, intently staring at the screen in front of him.
The Kages didn’t just focus on the side of Uchiha Sasuke, they were also able to see the other things happening in the surroundings. They noted the other teams slowly getting closer to the site.
The most surprising thing is that the kids didn’t rush out like inexperienced fellows, nor did they get scared and run away from the Chunin, instead, they carefully camouflaged themselves using their surroundings and means, and then observed the battlefield as if waiting for the opportunity to make their move, much like how a real Shinobi works!
Looking at these young kids in action, the old Tsuchikage couldn’t help but feel emotional, ‘Konoha’s current generation is terrible enough, and such talented kids are about to graduate within the next few years? No village will stand a chance against Konoha for the next few decades, it’s a good thing that war between villages has been suspended, given how strong Konoha is, we stand no chance against this village! They weren’t wrong when they said that Konoha is the cradle of geniuses!’
Although wars between the five great nations have basically stopped and the pattern of the Shinobi World has changed into an alliance between the villages compared to the previous enmity because of the threat of the Akatsuki Organization and the rapid emergence of Amatsukami, this doesn’t mean the five great villages have stopped competing against each other.
And when Onoki saw the emergence of so many geniuses one after another, he couldn’t help but feel envious of Konoha, especially after what happened to Iwagakure only a few weeks ago.
…
Forest of Death
“Naruto, Yakumo… while I keep them busy, retreat backward… this battle is not for the two of you.” Said Sasuke in a deep voice as the black tomoe in his scarlet eyes spun.
Naruto interrupted, “Heh… what are you saying Sasuke? Don’t forget that we are a team, if we are going to fight Sensei, then we are going to fight them together… no matter the result!”
Yakumo looked uneasy, and said, “Sasuke-kun, are we really going to fight the Chunin? They are Sensei! The rules say that as long as we have two of our original scrolls we won’t be disqualified… we should give them a scroll and avoid this battle.”
Seeing Yakomu trying to persuade Sasuke, Iruka added with a serious expression, “Sasuke-kun, you are indeed one of the top two trainees of this generation, however, sometimes you should understand the disparity of the situation. Blind arrogance won’t do you any good.”
While putting his hand in his Shinobi Bag, Sasuke said, “Iruka-sensei… it’s best if you keep the lessons limited to the classroom… this is not a classroom and we are enemies.”
Iruka frowned and still wanted to persuade Sasuke, however, seeing that Sasuke had taken out several Shuriken from his Shinobi bag, he tacitly shut his mouth and prepared to fight Sasuke.
Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish
Cutting through the wind, several shurikens were thrown by Sasuke and rushed towards the three Chunin. (The other Chunin are spread in different zones and focusing on other teams.)
As Sasuke took the initiative to attack, the battle between team Sasuke and the three Chunin started.
Iruka, Mizuki, and Ebisu easily dodged all the Shuriken thrown by Sasuke by moving their bodies to the side, however, when the Shuriken passed by their side, they realized that the Shurikens were tied with wire, and at the end of the wire, a small ball was attached.
‘A smoke bomb?’ thought Iruka as the ball exploded.
Poof!
As the smoke provided a cover, Sasuke used that moment to rush toward the three.
Not long after, the sound of flesh colliding with flesh, and metal colliding with metal echoed in the forest.
Hearing the sound of fighting, the stunned Naruto finally reacted, “Huh… the fight has already started?”
Looking at the smoke in front of her, Yakumo also nodded with an uncertain expression, “Seems to be the case.”
…
“Uh… I can’t see anything, they are too fast!” said Rock Lee, then looked at Neji and Kiyomi, “What about the two of you?”
Kiyomi shook her head, “I can barely make out some shadows.”
Neji didn’t reply, his Byakugan was active and he intently focused on the battle in the distance, his expression extremely serious.
…
Unable to make out anything, Shion asked, “Hinata, what’s happening?”
Hinata who had activated his Byakugan muttered doubtfully, “It seems to me that Sasuke-san is defeating Sensei.”
Shion was taken aback, “Really?!” and muttered, “Maybe Sensei is not fighting seriously… I don’t think Sasuke-kun would be able to defeat all three of them at the same time.”
Mika shook her head, “Actually he might… Uchiha Sasuke seems to be stronger than the three of them.”
Similar to these two teams, several other teams also observed the battle using their own means. Sai’s team was spying on the battle from high in the sky using his ink birds.
Fu sat on top of a giant tree and looked at the battle while resting her hand on her cheek, “Mika-chan seems to be right, Sensei is really not as strong as we had expected.”
Shino processed the information brought to him by his bugs and muttered, “Or maybe it’s that Sasuke-san is stronger than we had expected.”
…
The base of the Immediate Response Team
With the cloak and mask of Akatsuki, Asuma stared at the screen in front of him and muttered in surprise, “The three of them are Chunin, right?”
Kurenai muttered thoughtfully, “Undoubtedly, he is Uchiha Itachi’s younger brother… just as talented as him.”
Anko was also quite surprised, “Looks like we have to appear earlier than we had assumed.”
Asuma put on the mask with a smile, and said, “All right then, we should go… even if this Uchiha kid is extremely talented, we can’t let him defeat Iruka and the others in public sight, it would be very embarrassing of them to be defeated by such a young kid. If it’s us, there would be no problem.”
