Chapter 29 The Perfect Timing of Itachi
Itachi wanted to spar with Yamato, but it turned into a sparring session with Anko.
"Who do you think will win?" Kabuto asked Yamato, who was standing next to him.
Yamato quietly observed the two people facing off in the Uchiha training ground and said, "It's hard to say."
Kabuto was somewhat surprised.
Anko is a Chunin.
Twelve years old, while Itachi is only six years old.
Half of the age gap is still during this growth period.
Kabuto suddenly thought of a legendary person who graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six.
He can be considered the most talked-about legendary genius since the founding of Konoha.
"Another Kakashi? He's already a Chunin at the age of six."
"He probably doesn't have Chunin strength yet," Yamato said. "But the feeling he gives me is very strange."
"How is it so wonderful?"
Kabuto humbly sought advice.
He still held Yamato, the Wood Release ninja, in high esteem.
Moreover, the dean is now taking care of him, so in a way, Yamato is more like one of Kabuto's own people.
Yamato looked at Itachi in the arena and said, "Itachi's actions always feel just right. It's as if he doesn't do it intentionally, but rather does it unintentionally."
"Just right?"
Kabuto pinched his chin, pondering the word.
As a medical ninja, he could naturally discern the perfect balance, because even sophisticated medical ninjutsu requires just the right amount of precision.
Kabuto is a meticulous person who is extremely skilled at precise operations.
However, his meticulous operation is proactive, and even requires advance preparation, sufficient accumulation, thinking, planning, and then making precise arrangements to make the right entry point.
To put it bluntly, he relied on his brain. Of course, he also had a strong intuition. It can be said that he had both talent and brains to some extent, which is why he gained Orochimaru's favor.
According to Yamato's explanation.
What kind of talent is it that Itachi can passively and perfectly execute every move?
"They're here!"
Anko shouted.
The two men raised their fingers together, forming a seal of opposition.
Then the Anko suddenly rushed forward.
She astutely chose to suppress him with physical techniques, given the age difference. So she took out a kunai and stabbed it at Itachi.
Just as she made her move, Itachi formed a hand seal—the Great Fireball Technique!
The Uchiha clan is the strongest fire-style clan in Konoha.
Anko dared not be careless, dodging the attack while simultaneously throwing out a kunai to interfere.
Uchiha Itachi, prepared in advance, leaned back to dodge, and at the same time pulled out the kunai tied to his leg and shot it out.
Anko dodged again, about to attack while Uchiha Itachi leaned back.
But just then, a whooshing sound came from behind.
It was Itachi who pulled the steel wire connecting the kunai.
At the same time, kunai appeared under his feet. With a backward lean, he flicked his foot and threw the kunai out.
Anko gritted his teeth.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!
A series of snake shadows extended from his arm, enveloping him from front to back.
The kunai, caught in a pincer attack, were quickly overwhelmed.
But at the same time, they also lost sight of each other.
Taking advantage of this brief gap, Itachi completed the hand seals after landing.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
boom!
A huge fireball was blown out.
Anko, who had already unleashed the Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand, could only use the Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand to block it.
"She's caught in Itachi's rhythm," Yamato said. "Hidden Shadow Snake Hands is a close-to-mid-range ninjutsu, but she has to take hits from Itachi's Great Fireball Technique, which is a long-range ninjutsu.
This kind of ninjutsu exchange is very disadvantageous for her. Itachi really has a perfect grasp of the rhythm."
"But the difference in raw strength is there," Kabuto said.
"Itachi is only six years old. Even if he is a genius of the Uchiha clan and his chakra is much stronger than that of his peers, it is still limited.
A single Fireball Jutsu will consume a lot of his chakra.
For Anko-senpai, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands is not a burden. Of course, using this ninjutsu to block the Fireball Jutsu will definitely put him at a disadvantage."
Despite trying her best to use Shadow Serpent Hands to block the barrage of fireballs, Anko still suffered some burns.
This brought about some negative effects, but Hongdou gritted her teeth.
The burns on her body did not seem to cause her much inconvenience.
really.
When Kabuto used Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand to block the Great Fireball Technique, he observed that Anko's eyes remained quite calm, which showed that she still had confidence in her heart.
Just as he guessed, for Hongdou, it was only a minor loss.
Her endurance was already stronger than that of ordinary people, and after using Shadow Serpent Hand to block and deplete most of the power of the Great Fireball Technique, the remaining burns were not unbearable.
The pain only fueled her fighting spirit.
She rushed forward again!
They still needed to close the distance, while Itachi, with several kunai tucked under his arms, stood ready for battle...
Not only were Kabuto and Yamato watching this battle, but also Uchiha clan ninjas lurking nearby.
After all, the Uchiha clan dared not be negligent; a Wood Release ninja had come here.
The ninjas lurking nearby were ultimately there to keep an eye on this Wood Release ninja and prevent him from getting into trouble within the clan.
While Itachi and Anko were sparring, one of the Uchiha ninjas lurking nearby left to deliver a message.
Not long after, Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, also arrived in the shadows nearby, watching his son fight against another disciple of Orochimaru, the Fifth Hokage.
Fugaku certainly knew about this disciple of Lord Orochimaru, a person of such a sensitive status.
They knew she was a Chunin and had mastered the Fifth Hokage's ninjutsu.
For Itachi, he was indeed a formidable opponent.
So, can Itachi win?
"How is that possible?"
Looking at the wounded Itachi in front of her, Anko still couldn't accept it and pressed the kunai against her throat.
She was lying on the ground, one leg was tied to a steel cable and she had tripped over it. Apart from that, she had only the burns from before.
The weasel had many wounds on its body, and even bite marks from snakes.
He felt very weak at this moment, but he still held the kunai firmly in his hand.
He knelt on Anko, his eyes unwavering, but sweat poured down his forehead.
He had just completed several risky maneuvers to finalize his plan, causing Hongdou to step into the trap.
Anko was completely immersed in his rhythm from beginning to end.
Of course, this is already the limit. If Anko were stronger or even calmer, the outcome would be hard to predict.
"Hmm!"
Anko's face puffed up.
Her eyes quickly welled up with tears.
Itachi, whose eyes had been calm just moments before, started to panic slightly.
"I'm sorry!" he said quickly.
"snort!"
Anko blushed and turned her head away in embarrassment, her eyes still red.
She found it hard to accept the fact that she had lost to a six-year-old child.
She's a twelve-year-old Chunin!
