This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

Although Phoenix God Fire was C-level ninjutsu that only Gennin could learn, it was also the foundation of the Uchiha family, Fire Release.

In the original work, before Jonin had even studied, Sasuke had been taught the Grand Fireball Technique by Fugaku. After becoming a Genin, the Grand Fireball Technique and Phoenix God Fire Technique became his signature ninjutsu.

And Itachi's talent was obviously above Sasuke. He was only five years old, and not only was his strength already beyond Genin, but he was also able to release Phoenix God Fire Technique skillfully. A C-level Fire Release was indeed worthy of being called a genius among geniuses.

Sometimes, starting points really couldn't be compared.

Some people spent their entire lives on the road to Rome, but some people were directly born in Rome.

Compared to those commoners, Itachi's starting point was C-grade ninjutsu, which was easy to obtain. More importantly, not only was he talented, but he was also very hardworking.

"I just asked you if you were afraid!"

And the answer Aoba gave was, "Others are afraid, but I am not!"

It was unknown whether it was because Itachi's chakra was insufficient or if he was showing mercy. Still, the number of fireballs chasing behind Aoba was not shocking, which gave him the opportunity to dodge.

After all, he was no longer the rookie who could not even dodge the bold fireball technique.

Feeling the temperature behind him, he calculated the time to dodge.

At this moment, the incomparably calm Aoba suddenly entered into a realm that seemed to have 'an epiphany'.

The feeling of being oppressed by 'mud' instantly disappeared.

One fireball after another was easily dodged by him. It was as if he was dancing, gracefully dodging.

Obviously, the battle was scorching and should not be described as 'elegant'.

But at this time, Aoba's performance was so magical, as if he had awakened some kind of instinct.

Even Itachi, who released the ninjutsu, could not help but be startled, 'this guy….'

After the attack was over, Aoba, surrounded by flames, subconsciously used chakra to stimulate his body and fiercely rushed towards Itachi.

Looking at Aoba, who was running straight towards him, Itachi, who did not have many chakras left, immediately revealed a bitter smile.

In the script he had written in advance, the moment he finished forming the seal and used Phoenix Fairy Fire, this duel should have already ended, not to mention to be on the safe side. He also hid the last few swords in the ninjutsu.

However, the sudden burst of Aoba directly disrupted his script.

Not only did the ninjutsu released by a large amount of chakra did not have any effect, but it also emptied his ninja bag so that he could no longer continue to play the swimming tactic.

And just relying on the three-body techniques, he was already completely helpless against Aoba.

It was precise because Aoba's progress was too fast that he had no choice but to use other ninjutsu today.

But the result was like this...

It was a cycle of karma…

Itachi, who completely did not want to fight Aoba head-on, sighed helplessly, and then his eyes instantly became extremely serious.

"Sharingan, open!"

After seeing those eyes that were filled with an ominous aura, Aoba was very surprised because, in his memory, Itachi at this time did not successfully open Sharingan.

However, the special state he was in still made his heart calm, without any ripples.

Charge!

Hardening!

Punch!

Itachi, who was trying to parry, was instantly sent flying!

'This feeling... it's not a clone!'

'It also does not change into anything else!'

'Is it the main body?'

Howevere, a strong sense of crisis instantly appeared behind his head at the same time.

'Not good!'

Aoba immediately activated[Hardening] to its maximum!

Aoba relied on his instinct. He instantly turned around and kicked!

However, he swept past the shadow of Itachi behind him and kicked empty air!

'It is an illusion!'

Thinking back to the pair of eyes that looked at each other, Aoba immediately understood.

But it was too late…..

Due to the interference of Sharingan's hypnotic ability, he completely missed out on Itachi's real location.

Moreover, at this time, Itachi, who was standing beside him, had already used the precise control of his chakra to concentrate the remaining chakra on his right hand entirely and then heavily punched Aoba's soft spot!

Bang!

Aoba, who was unable to block anything, was sent flying and then heavily fell to the groundHoweverediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at the position that Itachi had just hit on his waist, the hard stratum corneum had actually been directly shattered!

The Level 3 [Hardening] was actually unable to block this punch

Aoba, who had retreated from his special state, had a look of disbelief on his face. It was clear that ten days ago, Itachi had not been able to do anything about his defense, and he had almost been knocked unconscious by his headbutt.

But why did he suddenly become so fierce?

Did he take drugs?

Aoba, who was not ready to continue the fight, held his aching waist and barely stood up. At the same time, [Hardening] also removed his hand.

"How did you do it?"

The duel was over.

At this time, Itachi, who had no chakra, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he walked to Aoba and said, "What are you referring to?"

"Your eyes from before, and the last attack that broke my defense."

For the former, Aoba knew the answer, but the latter was what he wanted to know the most.

Itachi muttered to himself for a moment before replying, "That is our Uchiha clan's Sharingan. It possesses some extremely special abilities. Just now, I used this pair of eyes to interfere with your movements, causing you to make the wrong judgment…."

"....And the last attack, I condensed all the chakra in my body into one point, and then instantly detonated it, releasing all of it, causing that kind of destructive effect. To do this, I must have very precise control of chakra to do it."

Itachi had no way to explain more information about Sharingan, but he could teach Aoba the final blow without any psychological burden.

After hearing Itachi's answer, Aoba couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. He didn't think that this fellow would actually hold back all this time.

If Itachi had used this move that day, perhaps even that petty victory wouldn't have existed. This sort of feeling of defeat was truly hard to describe in words.

Perhaps because he noticed Aoba's depression, Itachi explained in a comforting manner, "Regarding this technique, I only recently grasped it….. If we were to compare physical skills alone, the person who would win would still be you."

This kinda looked like a scene after an exam; Brainiac took the ninety-nine marks test paper and patted the shoulder of the stupid student. He comforted, "It's fine. I didn't do well either."

Not only did Aoba not receive any comfort, but he was also even more depressed!

Sometimes, if you don't work hard, you wouldn't know how big the gap between you and a genius is!

However, he didn't know that Itachi was in a similar mood as him.

In Itachi's eyes, Aoba, who had improved so quickly, was also a worthy opponent!

It had to be known that he had even used Sharingan in the end, so he did not disappoint his father's expectations of him.

'Looks like I have to work even harder on my cultivation!'

Itachi could not help but think like this.
