In a last-ditch effort to gain the upper hand, Yura used the Body Flicker technique to swiftly close the distance between them and stab Chojuro with his kunai. However, much to his shock, Chojuro he had stabbed turned into a water, causing Yura to Realize it was a water clone, jumping back to create some distance between them, Yura landed on one knee as the exhaustion from using multiple jutsu and sustaining injuries started to take its toll. He fervently scanned the area for Chojuro, but before he could react, he felt a sharp blade pressed against his neck.
Chojuro held his blade steadily against Yura's neck, slightly winded from the intense battle. He spoke with a hint of weariness in his voice, "It's over, please forfeit the fight."
….
Yura, he felt the cold metal of a blade press against his neck from behind. He could hear Chojuro's voice, calm, saying "It's over, please forfeit the fight." Yura cursed himself internally for letting his guard down, “When did he replace himself with a water clone?” Then it hit him ” it must have been when Chojuro used the Hidden Mist Jutsu”
With no other choice, Yura let out a defeated sigh and muttered, "I forfeit," to Raido who stood across from them both. As soon as he heard Yura's words, Raido announced to the crowd, "The winner of the fourth match is Chojuro from Kirigakure!"
The crowd erupted into cheers for the thrilling battle they had just witnessed. As Raido made the announcement, Chojuro took the blade away from Yura's neck and sheathed it. Turning to face Yura, he gave a slight bow and said, "Thank you for the fight." But Yura ignored him and walked back to the waiting area in frustration and disappointment.
back in the waiting area
Kaito and his team leaned against the balcony railing, their eyes fixed on chojuro as he placed the blade on yura neck. A girl from the Suna team stood a bit further from them, her hands gripping the railing tightly as she watched her teammate lose the match. A few steps away stood two genin from Kumo, lazily watching the action. At the back of the waiting room, Mangetsu stood leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly disinterested in his teammates' fight.
Kaito spoke up as he observed the match, "He replaced himself with a water clone when the water wall exploded. Hmm, he also seems to be skilled in kenjutsu. He must be training to join the next generation of Mist's Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
Hotaru nodded in agreement, "Hai, and he's quite skilled in water release ninjutsu as well."
Itachi chimed in with a low hum, "And he's mastered the silent killing technique."
The girl from Suna gripped the railing tightly, her voice trembling as she watched her defeated teammate make his way back to the waiting area. "Not even Yura could win..." she muttered dejectedly.
Itachi then started walking towards the exit, announcing, "I'm up next," as he saw both Chojuro and Yura making their way back.
Kaito turned to Itachi and wished him luck before he passed by. Hotaru also turned her head towards Itachi and added, "Good luck, Itachi-kun." He simply nodded in response before making his way down to the arena floor.
As Itachi walked towards the battleground, the lazy-looking genin from Kumo also followed suit making his way down from the balcony.
back on the arena floor
As both Chojuro and Yura, made their way back to the waiting area, Raido's voice rang out over the stadium. "Will Itachi Uchiha and Nemui of Kumogakure please make their way to the arena floor?" The crowd buzzed with anticipation as Itachi stepped onto the arena floor, looking calm and composed. followed by Nemui, he looked more relaxed.
The two of them stood before Raido, taking their positions opposite each other. Nemui, the older and more experienced of the two, stood lazily and let out a bored yawn. In contrast, Itachi stood focused, his gaze fixed on his opponent.
Meanwhile, up in the stands
Sasuke perked up at the mention of his brother's name. He turned to Naruto with a smug grin. "Watch closely. You'll see how strong Itachi-nii-san is and how a true Uchiha prodigy fights."
Naruto simply shrugged in response. "I still bet Kaito-nii-san would win."
Kushina, who sat beside Mikoto, couldn't contain her excitement. She turned to her friend and asked eagerly, "Are you excited to see Itachi-kun fight?"
Mikoto nodded, her expression a mix of eagerness and nervousness. "I am eager to see him fight, but I'm also worried because he's up against an older genin. I know Itachi-kun is strong, but I can't help but worry."
Kushina and Hitomi both agreed with her sentiments, sharing similar worries for kid.
Fugaku sat with his arms crossed, quietly observing Itachi as he prepared for battle. His thoughts were filled with pride and curiosity “Let’s see how far you’ve come, son.”
In front of Fugaku and the others, Inoichi couldn't help but ask, "I've heard rumors about how skilled the Uchiha kid is. Are they true?"
Choza nodded in confirmation. "Hai, they say he's the most prodigious Uchiha the clan has ever produced."
Shikaku let out a sigh. "I can't vouch for that, but he's definitely a prodigy."
In the waiting area
Kaito leaned against the railing in the waiting area, watching as Nemui lazily made his way towards the arena. "Is that kid related to the Nara clan somehow?" he asked, noting Nemui's relaxed demeanor. Hotaru giggled and replied, "Hai, it almost looks like he is being forced to participate."
in the arena floor
Itachi and Nemui stood facing each other as Raido looked at them both and asked, "Are you both ready?" Itachi and Nemui nodded in unison, indicating their readiness. With a nod from Raido, he declared, "Hajime!" and jumped out of the way.
As soon as the fight began, Itachi leapt back while pulling out a few kunai’s, and throwing them at Nemui. However, Nemui, letting his head fall as the fight began, deflected all the kunai with a kunai of his own, his head still down.
Itachi landed and launched himself forward, aiming a punch at Nemui's face. Just as Itachi's fist was about to make contact, Nemui's right hand shot up and caught the punch with ease. Using Itachi's momentum against him, Nemui tilted his body slightly and flipped him over. All of this was done with Nemui's head still lowered.
Itachi's body twisted in midair, his movements fluid and precise as he used the momentum to propel himself back and create distance between himself and his opponent. As he landed in a crouching position, his mind raced with thoughts “How did he counter my attack without seeing “. Across the field, Nemui raised his head briefly before lowering it back down again.
seeing that Itachi thought “interesting“, before Itachi's eyes his Sharingan and charged towards Nemui. Using the body flicker jutsu, Itachi appeared in front of Nemui in a blur, aiming a powerful punch at his face. To Itachi's surprise, Nemui tilted his head to the side and evaded it with ease.
The two genin continued to exchange kicks and punches, each anticipating the other's moves. As they continued to trade blows, Itachi noticed that Nemui would occasionally raise his head to assess his surroundings before lowering his head. Itachi filed this information away for later, as he used Nemui as a springboard to launch himself into the air.
From above, Itachi threw several shurikens while making hand signs and blowing multiple small fireballs from his mouth. "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!". The flames engulfed the shuriken as they flew toward Nemui with great speed. Sensing danger, Nemui raised his head and scanned the field, and seeing the flaming shuriken quickly lowered his head and dodged the flaming projectiles.
As Itachi landed back on the ground, he observed Nemui closely and realized how he was able to anticipate attacks by periodically checking his surroundings. A faint smirk crossed Itachi's face as he thought to himself, "So that's how he's doing it."
back in the waiting area
Hotaru's Byakugan was activated as she watched the fight between Itachi and the Kumo genin, Nemui. Her pale eyes scanned every movement, every jutsu being used in the fight. Suddenly, she deactivated her Byakugan and gasped in shock.
"He... he is..." Hotaru struggled to find words to describe what she was witnessing.
Kaito finished her sentence for her, a knowing look on his face. "Sleeping," he said with a hum. They both watched as Itachi used Nemui as a springboard and unleashed a Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu.
Hotaru turned to Kaito, her expression curious. "Hai, how is he doing that, Kai-kun?" she asked. "He's asleep, but still able to fight so skillfully."
Kaito rubbed his chin in thought before responding. "I think his fighting style is like the Drunken Fist," he explained. "A skilled user of the Drunken Fist can make themselves seem drunk in an instant without actually getting drunk. When they are in that state, they can be ten times stronger than their base state. I think in his sleep, Nemui has heightened senses that allow him to fight better than when he's awake, but he needs to occasionally check his surroundings. It looks like Itachi has figured out the same thing."
Hotaru nodded in understanding, turning her attention back to the intense battle unfolding before them. In his mind, Kaito couldn't help but think, "Heh, it's almost like Ultra Instinct from DBS."
A small chuckle escaped as he added "Shikaku-sensei would kill to have a technique like that," Kaito added, earning a giggle from Hotaru. They both knew that their teacher would be envious of Nemui's unique fighting style.
back in the arena floor
Itachi rushed towards Nemui and continued their taijutsu battle it intensifying as they exchanged punches, kicks, and blocks. As always, Nemui glanced around to assess his surroundings, but this time Itachi was prepared. and caught Nemui’s gaze and with his Sharingan Itachi cast a genjutsu on Nemui when their eyes met.
The genjutsu took effect immediately, with Nemui looking terrified and failled to block Itachi's kick that sent him flying backward. Nemui quickly regained his composure and tried to take in the surroundings again, only to be trapped in another genjutsu by Itachi. This time, Nemui managed to break free from the genjutsu, but before he could he had to dodge the kunai and shuriken barrage Itachi had thrown at him.
Due to the lingering effects of the genjutsu, Nemui wasn’t able to dodge all the projectiles as some of the kunai grazed him while some shuriken struck his back. itachi repeated this by placing Nemui under a genjutsu every time he woke up to take in his surroundings until Nemui couldn't take it any longer and screamed in fear while holding his head. He fell to his knees mentally broken.
