Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Progress
One month later, Konoha, a practice clearing north of the Uchiha clan territory.
A boy and a girl, two six-year-olds, were engaged in a fierce sparring match.
In terms of speed, the boy was superior, but all of the boy's close-range and long-range attacks were either dodged or blocked by the girl, preventing him from inflicting effective damage on her.
Relying on his much superior speed, the boy had always taken the absolute initiative in the battle, constantly launching attacks, overwhelming the girl, and not giving the girl a chance to form seals.
In response, the girl had been calmly staring at the boy's movements with her two-tomoe sharingan, seeing all of the boy's attacks clearly, and then dodging or blocking ahead of time, not giving her opponent a chance to hurt her.
"The movements are slowing down."
After a few minutes of this back-and-forth, the girl suddenly sneered.
As she said that, she made a nimble sidestep to avoid the boy's punching over, then quickly grabbed the boy's arm with her hand and used the force to fling him fiercely into the air.
At the next moment, she quickly completed a seal with both hands, and spat out a large fireball at the boy who was currently in mid-air.
Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique.
The fireball smoothly hit the boy and engulfed him.
But all that ended up falling in the air was a piece of burnt wood.
Apparently, at the critical moment, the boy made a substitution technique to avoid the attack.
Seeing this, Chizuru's Sharingan quickly looked around the surroundings, and relying on the power of the Sharingan to see clearly the flow of chakra within other people's bodies, she quickly found Kirito, who was hiding in the grass at this moment, and decisively threw out two Senbon.
"Ding ding."
Kirito used Kunai to knock down the Senbon, and then instantly exploded into a speed twice as fast as what she had just seen.
Chizuru's face instantly became grave, staring intently at Kirito with her Sharingan, trying to see Kirito's movements clearly.
Relying on the power of her two-tomoe sharingan, she managed to see clearly, but found that her body couldn't keep up.
She ended up getting hit by a punch from Kirito.
"Boom~".
Kirito watched as Chizuru, who he had sent flying, ended up turning into a piece of wood, and instantly made a quick succession of backflips on the ground, avoiding several Senbon, and then looked towards Chizuru, who was standing on a tree not far away, and sighed, "Let's call it a day, I'm almost out of strength, and your Sharingan is almost unusable, right, how about counting it as a tie?"
"Hmph, you think so, my chakra can still keep my Sharingan for at least a minute or use my substitution jutsu twice, whereas your instantaneous burst of power can't be used anymore, so I win this battle."
Chizuru didn't accept Kirito's offer at all and stared at him coldly with her Sharingan.
"You can't count like that, I still have a lot of chakra alright, even if I can't explode in speed anymore, I'm still faster than you, it's enough for me to hold on until you can't use your Sharingan anymore, I'm doing this for your own good."
Kirito was also defiant and retorted.
"Cut the crap, if you're not convinced, then we'll do it again."
Chizuru frowned and let out a bellow.
Two Senbon were thrown out by her with force and shot towards Kirito.
Thus, the sparring between the two resumed.
A minute later, both of them were panting and lying on the ground.
Kirito was now bleeding profusely from several senbon sticking out of his hands and feet, while one of Chizuru's arms appeared abnormally bent.
"Bastard, you guys actually put paralyzing poison on top of these senbon, is that necessary?"
Kirito rolled his eyes as he felt the injured part was rapidly losing consciousness.
Chizuru smiled faintly at his words, forcing herself to endure the dizziness brought on by the excessive chakra consumption, and stood up from the ground with great difficulty, then stomped on Kirito's face and said happily, "This time it's me who won, convinced or not?"
"Yes yes yes, it's you who won, hurry up and give me the antidote and healing."
Kirito accepted the truth in humiliation.
At the same time, he was already swearing in his heart.
" Damn woman, you just rely on the evolution of the Sharingan to the two-tomoe to progress so fast in a short period of time, just wait for me, I will turn around and clean you up sooner or later."
Since Chizuru Sharingan evolution to two-tomoe, the observation power of Sharingan further enhancement, and their own chakra in just one month skyrocketed more than double, steadily reaching the amount of normal Chunin level of chakra, their own strength naturally skyrocketed.
Kirito's strength has also improved quite a bit this month, but nowhere near as much as Chizuru's, and due to the lack of attack options and the many battles against Chizuru, he will be on the edge of his seat once his natural energy card is drained by Chizuru with a substitution jutsu.
This has led to fewer and fewer victories against Chizuru in the last month, and his win rate has begun to plummet.
But he also gained a lot from fighting Chizuru.
Chizuru was accompanied by a powerful member of the Uchiha clan for training every day, and his level of combat continued to improve through frequent sparring with Chizuru.
When Chizuru saw that Kirito had conceded defeat, she removed her foot and then made a gesture to the sky with her uninjured hand, and a woman in a medical outfit quickly appeared in front of Chizuru.
Uchiha Sakura, Chizuru's exclusive medical staff.
"Sakura-san, come and detoxify me, I feel like my body below my head is numb right now."
As soon as Uchiha Sakura appeared, Kirito immediately courteously said.
Since the last time Chizuru had helped out, he and Chizuru had gotten much closer, and they had often trained together in sparring matches in the recent month.
In the process, the two naturally got injured often.
That was when Kirito met Sakura Uchiha and was first introduced to medical jutsu, which he was very interested in.
"Sakura, treat him."
Chizuru instructed Uchiha Sakura.
"Yes, Chizuru-sama, but before that let me heal your wounds first."
Hearing the command, Uchiha Sakura looked at Kirito who was looking at her with an attentive face, and realizing that Kirito's life was not in danger for the time being, she immediately retracted her eyes, and said to Chizuru with a smile.
As Chizuru's personal medical ninja, she of course had to treat Chizuru first.
Chizuru had no problem with that and let Uchiha Sakura help her finish connecting and treating her broken bones.
On the side, Kirito watched the healing process with rapt attention.
Uchiha Sakura was an excellent medical ninja with strong chakra manipulation, and she quickly finished treating Chizuru, reminding, "Chizuru-sama, to be on the safe side, it would be wise for you not to use this hand to continue training for the next few days."
"I know."
Chizuru replied without thinking.
Seeing this, Uchiha Sakura knew that Chizuru hadn't taken her words to heart and wanted to say a few more words, but then she realized that Kirito had suddenly fainted and rushed to check on the situation.
"Sakura, what's wrong with him?"
Chizuru asked nervously, startled.
"No problem, he's just too tired and fell asleep."
Uchiha Sakura quickly examined Kirito and realized that Kirito was just asleep, casting a reassuring look at Chizuru.
Chizuru, hearing the insight and seeing Kirito begin to make sounds of sound sleep, quickly realizes what's going on, her originally turned off Sharingan turn back on and she looks at Kirito somewhat angrily, with the urge to punch him to wake him up.
But when she saw Kirito's sleeping appearance, she held back again and muttered, "Damn guy, he actually dared to fight me ..."
Meanwhile, in the Senjou clan land, Kawaki's house, in the study.
Kawaki looked at Mito who was smiling and looking at him at the moment, and said with some fear, "Grandma Mito, I didn't know that he was using his shadow clone jutsu to attend class."
