Chương 22: Chapter 21
Land of Fire.
Konoha.
Izuna's recent mission went pretty well with little to no problems. And after receiving the remuneration, he decided to return home.
Thus, while strolling through the bustling streets of Konoha, Izuna strode in the direction of his house.
His fingers tightly grasped a rock in his hand, and while glancing at the piece of rock, lost in his thoughts.
Two months had passed in the blink of an eye, as he continued doing various mission with his colleagues.
However, that wasn't the only thing he did in the past two months. He never forgot to train continuously and further hone his skills.
'Slowly and steadily, I'm getting there...'
Izuna quietly thought to himself, letting out a smirk.
It was unknown how much, but he could feel himself becoming even stronger than the previous him.
Well, as young he was, he could take on a Jonin without a problem.
It may sound too far-fetched for someone as young as Izuna to have this much battle prowess, but it doesn't change the reality.
After all, if he could take an S-ranked rogue Ninja head on, then it shouldn't come as a surprise!
*Growl*
'Uh... Is it time to eat already?'
His thoughts came to a halt as he felt hungry, so he increased his pace and soon arrived in the Uchiha district.
"I'm home!"
Izuna said loudly as he put his Shinobi sandals aside and strode inside the house.
"Oh, welcome home son."
Wearing an apron on top of her usual attire, Akane came out of the garden and wrapped her arms around him, ruffling his hair.
"Hmm..."
The exhaustion seemingly lessened as soon as he felt his mother's peck on his forehead.
Suddenly remembering that her dear son must be hungry, she said with a loving smile on her face.
"Oh, right! You must be hungry. All right, go ahead and take a quick bath while I prepare your food."
"Uh-hmm."
Izuna nodded his head, and left for the bath, leaving his mother with a thoughtful look.
*
"Hah!"
Expelling a breath full of ambition, Izuna looked at his mother, astonished.
"What? Did you really think your mother was just a housewife, huh?"
Akane said with a chuckle, looking at the dumbfounded expression on her son's face.
"Oh, I, uh, yes. Well... I can't say I'm not. After all, this is the first time you asked me to spar with you, mother."
Since he had no mission, so for the time being, Izuna had decided to train with his father. So, it would help him in his growth.
But, suddenly out of nowhere, his mother asked him for a spar?
He had known that his mother was a Kunoichi, however, didn't expect her to be this strong. Leaving him in the somewhat same situation during his battle against Gari.
'There's no doubt about it, she could defeat him even at his best.'
After sparring with her for hours, Izuna gloated himself that his mother, Akane Uchiha was more than strong enough to defeat Gari of the explosion style.
Looking at his mother's cheerful smile, he got up from the ground and dusted himself off, as he stood there drenched in sweat.
'Haha, I bet even Akio would have never guessed that our son had a technique this powerful.'
Meanwhile, his mother who was in much better shape than him, thought to herself.
She was no doubt talking about the light-purple chakra in the distinct form of a glove. The taijutsu technique, Yasogami Kugeki.
It truly was indescribable for her to see him crush a Kunai coated with the Wind Chakra Nature, with ease.
They had been sparring seriously for five hours or so, as a result, the area of more than 300 meters or so was now in crumbles.
Multiple huge and small craters, burnt and eroded ground, along with deep fissures were the proof of their ongoing sparring session.
"So, how about another final round, huh? Oh, and come with everything you've got, all right?"
Akane stated, seeing that he could still continue.
His mother's voice startled him, bringing him out of a trance.
They had already gone sixteen rounds, with breaks about five to ten minutes after each one, ironically resulting in eight wins for both of them.
"All right! Here I come!!"
Izuna spoke out loud while his mother nodded in understanding as both of them turned into a blur and clashed in the air.
Swish!!
The Kunai in their hands clashed multiple times in just a few moments, sending sparks everywhere.
'What? He got even faster...?'
His mother expressed surprise noticing the sudden increase in his speed.
"Heh, it looks like you have a lot to show, don't you?"
"Hm? What can I say, you left me no choice mother. And you, it's not like you aren't holding back yourself."
"Haha, fair enough."
Indeed that was true, after all, she wasn't using the Sharingan as it was just a simple spar, and using her visual prowess would just use up a large amount of Chakra, and they wanted to spar for as long as possible.
Their eyes flickered with understanding as they began closing the distance between themselves.
Swish!!
While at a fair distance away from his mother, taking out eight Kunai, four in each hand, Izuna threw them towards her.
But that wasn't the end of his assault as he made a hand sign and the barrage of kunai multiplied in the air and shot towards her.
Clang!!
Clang!!
The onslaught of Kunai rained down on her, however as expected of an elite Jonin, she skillfully jumped in the air, avoiding most of them while deflecting some of them.
Clang!!
Their fighting cries blended together, and while dashing towards each other, both of them threw the last one of their kunai at each other, which clashed and flew off in some unexpected direction.
"Heh... Now that's what I had expected from you, son."
"Oh, is that so?"
Their bodies collided in mid-air, tangled together, and crashed to the ground.
His mother got to his feet and in position first, and launched a kick at Izuna, who was propped up on one knee.
Time seemed to slow down for Izuna who had a bad premonition rising in his heart, looking at the launched attack with widened eyes.
Boom!!
He quickly thrust his right arm out to block it but was sent flying due to the power behind the attack. His field of vision shook with the impact but somehow saw her weaving signs.
"Fire style! Great Fireball Technique!!"
Akane shouted, and an enormous ball of flames shot out of her mouth and flew towards Izuna, slightly stuck in a boulder.
The mother-son duo seemed neck and neck and eventually taking the upper hand, Akane attacked with the signature technique of the Uchiha.
'This....'
The corner of Izuna's lips curled into an excited smile, staring at the enormous fireball streaking towards him.
Thrill...
Izuna was thrilled. He gloated to himself that even among the people of their clan, only a few could match his mother's prowess.
Letting out a smirk, he immediately made several hand signs in quick succession...
