Chương 18: First Combat Sparring (2)

First match was between Fugaku and Minato. Both of them are highly talented and expected to become the future pillar of the village. Fugaku was like most of the Uchiha with arrogance while Minato is a quiet kid but he also has some self-narcissism being one of the best of the peers and both are adapted to victory only. So the fight was hit even before it started.

As soon as the fight started, Fugaku did not give Minato a chance and threw a large Fireball jutsu and it was looking like Minato would not survive. But even without Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato is very fast and has good reflexes even in his childhood and he easily dodged the jutsu with the help of substitution jutsu and started throwing shuriken from all sides aiming Fugaku.

Although Fugaku did not awaken the Sharingan, he was still able to clearly see Minato's attack as his eye speed was faster than peers and he again uses Fireball jutsu to dispel those shuriken.

This fast and furious type sparring between Fugaku and Minato continued for like 15 minutes before they were on the brink of their chakra exhaustion even though their chakra volume is much bigger than the children of the same age. As the last effort of winning, they both use their explosive tag, as Minato uses it along shuriken which were thrown towards Fugaku while Fugaku uses it like dynamite as he encircled Minato with numerous explosive tags and lit them with his fire jutsu.

As soon as their attack met each other, there was a huge explosion and students were getting hammered by numerous debris from the explosion. As soon as the explosion occurred, the chunin instructor dispelled it with a sealing tag and found Minato and Fugaku who were senseless and on the carter of the explosion.

The chunin instructor soon declared the match as a draw and sent them both to the medical center for treatment.

….

As the students were in awe from the display of power which was shown by Minato and Fugaku and were debating to crown one of them as the 1st. Though Nikko knows about the power of both Minato and Fugaku from the manga, he didn't expect them to be this monstrous even in their childhood. They sure are already genin level ninja and can graduate from the academy whenever they want.

Next Ajima fights with the civilian student and overwhelms inside a minute as expected, but he also understood that he was not at the league of Fugaku and Minato. Then all the fights happened as scheduled and most of the results were expected. Only the match between Shikaku and Kurama clan's brat Uruju was unexpected.

Although the Nara clan's members were lazy by nature and Shikaku was also not an exception, they were always serious about their Shadow Possession Jutsu and like to be proud about that as they can only use this jutsu. And it was not without any proof as most of the clan members who successfully learn their clan's jutsu are experts of ANBU and Jonin level Shinobi. SO it was expected for Shikau to win against Kurama Uruju as not only he has a frail body, but also not good control of chakra.

But what happened left them all in awe. Although the Kurama clan is known for their powerful unique genjutsu, they were in decline as there were not a single kekkei wilder. But Uruju is the first in few generation to be able to use the clan's kekkei genkai but due to his frail body condition and poor chakra control, he was always bullied in the academy and was pitied by many as they thought he will not be a powerful ninja.

So as soon as the match began, Shikaku didn't waste time. He throws his kunai and shurikens toward Uruju to distract him and uses the shadow possession jutsu to hold control of Uruju. But as his shadow reached half mark, Shikaku's shadow suddenly stopped and then disappeared. After a few moments, his own shadow was strangling his throat and he was almost dead.

All of the students and even the chunin instructor were surprised as to why a smart child like Shikaku would try to harm himself during the sparring.
