Chapter 140: Spar (1)
[A/N: This chapter might be a bit boring... Also, I used the information from the Naruto Wiki and I don't really know if they are true or not. Heheh. I hope you enjoy the chapter.]
"We'll spar one by one Akihiko." Itachi said as the people who were going to spar agreed.
"Who is going to go first?" Naruto asked as Itachi and Kisame spoke at the same time.
"I'll go first."x2
They looked at each other as Itachi stepped back.
"Kisame, you can go first."
"Thanks." Kisame said. Kushina already removed the seal on his body that made him have the strength of an average human. However, Kisame wasn't given his Samehada.
The seal was removed because Kisame was no longer violent. He got tamed by the cookies and even became close with Deidara and Nagato. Now, he became the unofficial cookie taster in the group.
The others walked away to give more space to Akihiko and Kisame. It was also because they were worried that the fight might head towards them.
"Kisame, come at me." Akihiko said as he stood there with his hands behind him.
"Alright." Kisame immediately dashed towards Akihiko. He already learned from his last fight with Akihiko. Akihiko's chakra will never run out.
He knew he would lose but he decided to try and improve as much as he could with this spar.
Kisame dashed towards Akihiko and made a quick plan in his mind. As soon as he was close to Akihiko, he tried to kick Akihiko in the stomach using his right leg. Just like what he expected, Akihiko easily caught it with his left hand.
When Akihiko caught his right leg, Kisame quickly yanked his leg back and punched Akihiko with his left hand.
Akihiko blocked Kisame's punch with his left hand again, grabbed it and just smiled. Kisame retracted his punch quickly and broke free from Akihiko's grab.
The spar went on for 2 or 3 minutes with Kisame punching and kicking multiple times with different combinations and tricks. However, all of them were blocked.
"I'm going to attack. Normal Punch." Akihiko said as Kisame was ready to defend this punch by Akihiko. He was completely sure that it would be very strong even if the name had 'normal' in it.
*BAM*
Akihiko kicked Kisame in the stomach at a speed that he couldn't even block. Kisame flew backward toward Deidara who ducked to avoid Kisame. Kisame flew back even more before he hit a tree and stopped. He was now lying on the ground completely.
Everyone who saw this reacted in two different ways. Some just had a deadpan face as they stared at Akihiko while others were smiling and laughing their asses off.
For example, Naruto, who was rolling on the ground and slamming his fist against the ground as he laughed uncontrollably and Sasuke who was just staring at Akihiko while thinking, 'I should have expected this.'
Kisame recovered from the kick quickly. He learned a lesson after receiving this kick.
'I shouldn't trust the words that come out of an opponent's mouth. I was used to seeing almost all shinobis shouting whatever move they were going to do.'
At this moment, Kisame sneakily created a small pool of water. He touched it with his hand and created a water clone that immediately went underneath the ground using Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage.
Then, he slowly got up and dashed back towards Akihiko. This time, Kisame kept punching and kicking many times while Akihiko kept blocking them while using only his left hand.
While Akihiko was blocking the punches and kicks, the water clone emerged from the ground and looked as if he was going to attack Akihiko too.
Akihiko was still blocking the attacks as the water clone suddenly turned into mist and covered the area around Akihiko and Kisame.
At that moment, Kisame gathered all of his strength and punched Akihiko.
The punch almost hit Akihiko but Akihiko grabbed Kisame's arm and threw him to the ground.
Right before Kisame hit the ground, he thought, 'Damn, I thought it would be easier to catch him off guard since he was acting carefree. His eyes were always focused and he never looked away once. At least, I learnt-"
Cracks appeared on the ground as Kisame passed out as he hit head first with the ground. He didn't even get to finish his monologue.
"It was a good spar." Akihiko said as he used a wind jutsu to blow away all of the mist.
"Wow! Papa won so easily." The daughters said with excitement in their voices as their mothers nodded.
"Of course, your Papa is the strongest."
"Yeah!!! Papa is the strongest!" They all had smiles on their faces.
Akihiko, who was listening to this conversation, was smiling smugly as he nodded.
"Alright. Itachi, it's your turn."
"Akihiko, I think we should go somewhere else to spar. I am going to use the Perfect Susanoo." Itachi said as Akihiko asked Itachi.
"You achieved the Perfect Susanoo?"
"Yes." Itachi answered as Akihiko nodded.
"Then, let's change the location. We will be heading to the Bird's Forest. Will you all come with us?" Akihiko turned toward everyone else and asked.
They all agreed and Akihiko teleported to the Bird's Forest together with them. Kisame was also brought along because Akihiko didn't fully trust him.
"Oh hello. Long time no see." The bird elder greeted them as all the other birds also gathered around them.
"Bird Elder, I have lots of cookies for everyone." Akihiko said as he took out 3000 cookies at once. They piled up and formed a small hill.
"W-What are you trying to do? I feel like something bad will happen afterward."
"Bird Elder, just accept the cookies. We can all eat them. Who cares if he destroys a part of the forest. He always grows them back again." One of the birds said as everyone else agreed.
"Akihiko, we accept the cookies on behalf of the Elder. Have fun."
"You bastards!"
"Hahahaha." Everyone just laughed.
Soon, Akihiko and Itachi were standing around 50 meters away from each other. Itachi was already using his orange Perfect Susanoo which had the broadsword version of the Sword of Totsuka and a retractable Yata Mirror.
The mothers, kids and everyone else already went inside Akihiko's dimension to watch the fight from the inside.
They also met with Kaguya and were wary of her in the beginning. However, they became a bit closer after talking for a while.
"Wow, Mom, why is Big Bro Itachi's Perfect Susanoo that large?" Himiko asked.
"I don't know, Himeko. Perfect Susanoos are just large. I think you can make it larger after using it for many times." Izumi answered but she wasn't sure.
"Why did Big Bro Itachi use this Perfect Susanoo?" Kyoko asked. This time, Sasuke answered.
"That's because the Susanoo has very strong powers, comparable to that of a tailed beast. For Itachi, he has the Sword of Totsuka which can seal any person pierced by the sword, trapping the person in a world of drunken dreams for eternity and the Yata Mirror which is said to be indestructible. He once told me that the Yata Mirror is capable of changing its chakra nature depending on the attack, nullifying the attack and deflecting it. For long-range, Susanoos can use Yasaka Magatama to attack. "
"Wowww, then, isn't Big Bro Itachi very very strong? Since nobody can break his shield and he also has very strong attacks."
"No. Akihiko might be able to break his shield. The Yata Mirror can change its chakra nature to nullify the attacks and also physical attacks. However, what about Senjutsu? Even without senjutsu, we still don't know if the Yata Mirror can truly block all of Akihiko's attacks." Sasuke said as the mothers just smiled.
"Senjutsu is OP." Naruto added.
"Let's just watch the fight."
—--
Compared to Itachi who was in his Susanoo, Akihiko appeared very small. However, he was not worried at all. He just wanted to experiment with something that he always wanted to know about.
'Can Itachi's Yata Mirror really block and deflect my attack?'
"Akihiko, you should use your Susanoo too." Itachi suggested but Akihiko shook his head.
"No need. Let's start the spar, Itachi."
Itachi took out his Yata Mirror as he was ready to defend. He swung his huge sword at Akihiko as fast as possible. The Sword of Totsuka cut through a large portion of the huge trees in the Bird's Forest and this made the Bird Elder pass out.
'I'm sorry, my ancestors and Bird Elders who were overseers of this forest, I have failed you.' The Bird Elder thought before he passed out.
"Itachi, the Susanoo's size is both an advantage and disadvantage. You can slice through mountains with almost no effort but in a one versus one fight, you can't hit a person who is extremely fast." Akihiko said as he jumped and ran up the blade.
In just one second, he arrived at the Susanoo's arm and leaped towards the pentagon in which Itachi was standing. He took the pose for the legendary Uzumaki Dab Kick and kicked. However, Itachi blocked it with the Yata Mirror.
After his kick was blocked, Akihiko dropped down and landed on the ground as a crater was formed with some cracks around it.
"Oh, so your Yata Mirror can deflect a kick of this strength. Then, how about this, Itachi." Akihiko didn't even bother running up the blade again. He merely used the strength in his leg to jump towards the Yata Mirror and kicked it with 25% strength. This time, an even larger crater was formed on the ground where Akihiko jumped.
This time, the Yata Mirror cracked and shattered apart. Itachi was surprised as the shield completely broke.
"I used a huge amount of strength just to break it, Itachi. Your Yata Mirror is really strong." Akihiko tried to comfort Itachi.
"And I have to end the spar now. You can train so that your Susanoo can get stronger, Itachi. After this, I will show you the technique that I created. Mini Susanoo." After saying that, Akihiko threw a kunai toward Itachi so fast that Itachi didn't even have time to respond. Akihiko switched places with the kunai and kicked him out of the Susanoo. Of course, Akihiko didn't forget to catch Itachi.
Then, the spar ended.
(End-)
