Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

"The second round, the third game, begins!"

"Huaaaaah..."

As soon as the examiner finished speaking, the audience expected to see the two contestants immediately start attacking each other. Everyone was excited and waiting to applaud.

Who would have thought that the next second they would see Mian from Yunyin Village suddenly stretching and letting out a big yawn. This scene immediately caused a burst of laughter and curses from the audience above.

Of course, there are also some who are more impatient:

"What are you doing? Guys from Yunyin Village!"

"This is a competition ground, not your bed!"

"That's right! We are here to watch the fighting competition, not to watch you sleep!"

It's just that they didn't pay attention to these external sounds, whether it was Itachi or Mian who was being madly output, as if they didn't hear them at all.

Looking at his opponent who was behaving strangely, Itachi couldn't help but think of the opponent's name:

'sleep……'

Could it really be just sleeping?

With this thought in his mind, Itachi took up an offensive stance, tilting his body slightly towards the opponent and spreading his legs in parallel.

It's just that he didn't rush to get the weapon, but tried to relax his body as much as possible, and at the same time consciously focused his attention on the opponent so that he could react in time if the opponent made any attack.

"sleepy……"

However, just when Itachi was concentrating on it, Mian from Yunyin Village still looked sleepy, his eyes were dull, his hands were drooping, and he didn't even look like he was about to launch an attack.

He stood there blankly as if he was really sleepy, and even occasionally swayed his body from side to side as if he couldn't stand any longer.

"I'm so sleepy...so...can I sleep?"

After saying this as if he was dreaming, Mian actually closed his eyes in front of everyone, and then fell straight to the ground in front of him like a straight and hard stick.

"?"

Seeing his opponent like this, Itachi subconsciously felt that something was wrong!

Sure enough, just before Mian was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly disappeared from Itachi's sight!

"!"

Itachi suddenly became a little shocked and raised his vigilance.

It's not that the opponent's teleportation speed is very fast. To be honest, it's really far behind compared to Shisui.

What shocked him was that he had clearly focused all his attention on his opponent just now, but before the opponent moved, he still didn't notice the opponent's move at all!

This opponent's choice of timing was too sudden, even abrupt!

Before he acted, it was impossible to tell whether he was going to focus on the left or the right. It was precisely because of this that Itachi's prediction was slightly delayed.

In a ninja battle, a moment's mistake means the opportunity has been lost!

"Horrrrrrrr~~"

A snoring sound suddenly came from behind,

"Crackling~"

The moment he heard the sound, Itachi rolled forward extremely quickly. Although Mian behind him did not open his eyes, his right arm waved past Itachi's eyes!

The speed of his arm was very fast, and white currents turned into countless lightnings and wrapped around his arm...

'Thunder Escape? '

While keeping a certain distance from his opponent, Itachi couldn't help but glance past the opponent's arm that was wrapped in electricity.

'It's really fast. '

He naturally knew that the Kumogakure Village specializes in Thunder Release Ninjutsu, especially the Thunder Release Chakra Armor of the Raikages of all generations, which can be said to be famous in the entire ninja world.

Mian is still sleeping, and standing up.

Acting?

Or are you really sleeping?

There are too many weird secret techniques, forbidden techniques and the like in the ninja world. If you want to judge the opponent's situation, you can only try to attack him directly~

He casually pulled out a kunai and threw it towards Mian who seemed to be sleeping.

As everyone subconsciously held their breath, the kunai made of iron flew straight towards Mian's face!

And Mian seemed to really know nothing, still snoring with her eyes closed~

"what!"

Just when the kunai was about to penetrate Mian's face, some of the audience even couldn't bear to scream,

But Jian Mian's body suddenly swayed greatly from left to right, and the kunai was dodged by him in such a thrilling way!

awake?

Or is it an intuitive reaction from the body?

Itachi's brain began to quickly analyze the opponent's performance.

And Mian still stood there sleeping as he did at the beginning, as if the attack just now had never happened at all...

"Hey~"

However, the moment Itachi's sight just passed, Mian's body suddenly swayed and disappeared!

"!"

Almost faster than his brain, before his eyes tracked the opponent's position, Itachi had reflexively jumped to the wall several times in succession.

"Crack!"

The arm with lightning struck across the place where he was standing just now like lightning!

Even if he was a little slow just now...

Itachi stood by the wall. While ensuring the safety of his back, he could lock the enemy in his sight as much as possible. At the same time, he began to think very intensely in his mind, trying his best to analyze the opponent's moves. What a situation!

It's not that he doesn't want to use the Sharingan, but the Sharingan consumes a lot of chakra.

After all, Itachi has not yet reached the point where he can use chakra casually (well...it seems that he has never done so when he grew up.../embarrassing)

Therefore, he believed that he should first obtain the opponent's "information" through ordinary battles, and then use the Sharingan to win after formulating reasonable tactics.

This is a more "efficient" method and can more intuitively achieve the effect he wants to express.

Although he is not a proud person, Itachi is still very confident in his observation and analysis abilities. Even without relying on the power of Sharingan, he can see through the opponent's ninjutsu or tricks:

Although I was startled by this strange move at the beginning and lost track of the opponent for a while, in general, I still have to compete with physical condition and reaction ability in the end!

With this kind of mental construction, Itachi once again focused all his attention on Mian.

"Snoring..."

Shake left, shake right...

"call out!"

coming!

At this moment, Itachi used all his senses: vision, hearing, smell, and touch all over his body to sense the opponent's actions!

'The right... is coming! '

A breath came quickly along the wall on the right!

It's thunderbolt lightning!

"Shu~"

Itachi avoided this blow very easily!

'There's still room left. '

As expected, Itachi still had the upper hand in terms of overall physical ability.

And as long as this is confirmed, there will be a way to deal with him!

Next comes the enemy’s psychology…

It's obviously a one-on-one battle, so why does Mian rely on this "sleep" state?

If he "breaks through physical limitations by sealing his own active perception", thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening combat instinct and intuition...

So, does this mean that during this process, the opponent will not remember what he did in the battle at all...

In order to obtain the status and information of the battle, he will definitely open his eyes and wake up at a certain point in time!

'perhaps……'

Victory or defeat depends on that moment!

With this thought in mind, Itachi almost never took the initiative to attack in the following battle, and was always passively avoiding the opponent's attacks.

It's not that he can't do it, but he wants to show his power more "overwhelmingly"!

3 minutes……

5 minutes……

Time passed little by little, and the game that I was originally looking forward to was now like a child's play. This directly caused the spectators on the tower to gradually become impatient and make noisy noises.

Although this does not have any impact on the two people in the battle,

Fortunately, just as the audience's voices became louder and louder, Itachi, who had been staring at his opponent, suddenly saw Mian's body trembling slightly, and then he saw his originally closed eyelids slightly opening a gap!

It's now! ! !
