Ninja Academy , Taijutsu Field
The sensei brought the class here and started to form the match pair , there was 48 student in the classroom , so 24 match
Since he was New he was arranged to fight first.
It has to be said that the strongest in taijutsu in the class was his cousin Kazuhiro the son of his 3rd uncle he was very strong and had a great combat instinct.
The strongest in ninjutsu was Orochimaru , not in term of power but in term of diversity and control.
The fist oponent of Tatsuya was named Taro Yamanaka and was the son of an elder of the Yamanaka clan , he was rather weak in taijutsu but above average in ninjutsu , he was very confident for the fight against Tatsuya since he was younger than himself.
When the two of them made the seal to start the fight , the sensei came to the side
"HAJIME!!!"
The two went for frontal attack since it wasn't a fight to death , Taro threw a punch aimed at Tatsuya head but before he could even comprehend what happened Tatsuya grabed his arm and pulled towards himself , he low kicked his leg and made him flip over , when he was above his head he pulled towards the ground , Taro hit he ground and Tatsuya placed his hands on his throat , in the blink of an eye the fight ended and everyone in the field was speechless.
Tatsuya and Taro made the sign of recociliation.
'This opponent was rather weak but my next opponent will probably be the one from the Hyuga clan , he is ranked 8th in the class so I hope he will be stronger.'
As the fight continued the 24 student who lost went to one side of the field while those who won stayed at the same place.
the next round began with a match between Tatsuya and the 3rd young master of the Hyuga , the martial arts of the Hyuga were the most refined in konoha.
Since this fight would be more difficult than the previous one Tatsuya became serious.
The two opponent went on field and made the seal.
"HAJIME!!!"
As the voice of the sensei reverbered , Tatsuya chose to make the first move , he went in front of the 3rd young master and threw a HighKick.
The HighKick was stopped by the Hyuga but Tatsuya predicted it and went straight with a punch to the gut , the Hyuga was obligated to dodge and went back three steps but Tatsuya was still chasing him with torrential like punch , just as he was going to punch , je feinted a punch and threw a LowKick , the Hyuga fell for it and was déstabilisés , just as he was stabilising himself , a punch came straight to his face an knocked him to the ground.
"Winner Tatsuya" said the sensei
Tatsuya went to help the Hyuga up and then made the sign of reconciliation.
"It was a nice fight" said Tatsuya as he really enjoyed it.
The Hyuga nodded and went to the loser side.
As the other match finished , Orochimaru , Tsunade and Jiraya had won their fight too , Kazuhiro has also won has it was expected that he would won the competition.
The 24 remaining participant were once again divised and became just 12 remaining participant.
The first fight was Tatsuya against Tsunade.
As the two of them has became friend in the last 3 years they were smiling to each other as they went to fight on the arena , Tsunade was later considered as the strongest kunoichi ever it was enough to prove her talent , this fight was going to be harder than any other that he had before.
They made the sign and then:
"HAJIME!!!"
The moment the sensei voice resounded Tsunade rushed to Tatsuya and began to launch punch in tricky spot , if any other student were to face her they would be suppresed already but unfortunately for her Tatsuya has a large fighting experience in his previous life , so he was able to deflect all her attack , he then went on offensive after deflecting a punch and made her lose her balance , he started with fast HighKicks which she countered and launched a rotative AirKick with his other leg wich made her retreat several step , as she was gasping for air he rushed toward her and launched a torrent of attack toward her upper body.
After several punch she began to gasp for air as he made a straight punch in her stomac wich knocked her to the ground.
He helped her up and they made the sign of reconciliation.
They went back to the area with the other student and continued to chat a little and Tatsuya apologised to her for his punch , she told him it was nothing before going to the loser area.
Orochimaru lost to Kazuhiro and Jiraya advanced again.
In the next round Tatsuya won After a short fight , because his opponent was weaker than even the 3rd young master of the Hyuga.
The last 3 people were Kazuhiro , Tatsuya and Jiraya , a lot of people were surprised that Tatsuya managed to come to the final 3.
As Kazuhiro had won the year before he was already made to the next turn so the fight was between Jiraya and Tatsuya.
Jiraya and Tatsuya were really friend as Jiraya was one of his favorite character in the story.
The fight began as Jiraya and Tatsuya began a fight head on , they laughed as they countered each puch with one of there own and the fight ended with a win of Tatsuya due to his endurance that he had practiced since he was little.
The last fight would oppose Tatsuya and Kazuhiro but before that Tatsuya circulated his chakra in every part of his body to recover faster and after 15min he was ready to fight again.
They started the fight with technical demonstration of kick and punch practiced time and time again , the fight was a fight wich was rarely seen before one is a genin of mid level , and finaly after countless punchs and kicks on each side the winner was Tatsuya who won since he was more experienced.
The class was shocked to see that Kazuhiro was deafeted.
They then began to go toward the ninjutsu field.
