Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

"Hu~ha...ha..."

Itachi's breath was filled with energy and energy.

Zhisui on the other side looked at him, sweat dripping down his face.

"I can really concentrate when I practice with you!"

Here Itachi was recovering his breathing quickly, looking at such a cheerful friend, he felt very fulfilled physically and mentally.

Different from before, the training between the two has advanced from running together to sparring practice.

And they agreed that apart from not being able to use the Sharingan, everything else would be like a real battle, and they could do anything!

Because Itachi still hasn't experienced what the Sharingan feels like...

In short, there were constant physical collisions between two half-grown boys!Very passionate!Very intense!

After each time the winner was decided, they would take a break for a few minutes, and they had played fifteen games so far.

The record is 3:12,

Itachi 3, Shisui 12.

"Dangdangdang~"

The two of them fired an unknown number of shurikens at the same time, which collided with each other in mid-air, and then bounced off to unknown places.

They don't care where the shuriken will fly to in the end. At this time, they only have each other in their eyes!

"Tsk!"

"drink!"

Two bodies covered in hot sweat collided and attacked each other in mid-air, and finally fell into a ball and fell heavily to the ground.

"call!"

"what!"

Two heavy and violent breathing sounds mixed together~

Shisui took the lead in rearranging his stance and kicked Itachi who was squatting on the ground with one knee. Itachi immediately stretched out his right hand to defend.

However, in his vision that was shaken by the impact of the kick, Itachi saw his friend forming seals quickly.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A huge fireball erupted from Shisui's mouth.

Seeing the fireball flying towards him, Itachi's lips showed a smile,

'As expected of Shisui...'

He was in a very happy mood.

In Itachi's memory, probably only his father or Shisui in the entire clan could release such a huge fire ball!

Thinking of this, Itachi couldn't help but feel a little proud~

It's just that facing such a huge fireball, it's too late to fight back, and it's too late to defend~

"boom!"

The fireball hit directly!

"Weasel!"

Shisui yelled eagerly, as if he didn't expect the situation to turn out like this.

However, what he didn't expect was that Itachi, who was hit by the fire ball, suddenly split into countless pieces, and then turned into a large group of crows, screaming and rushing towards him.

'It turned out to be a substitute technique. '

Shisui couldn't help but feel funny about his worries just now.

also~

Although Itachi is small, his strength is not weak at all. How could he be hit by his own powerful fire ball so easily~

When Shisui noticed Itachi's aura, a kunai was already on his neck.

"The winner has been decided~"

Shisui whispered reluctantly.

In the end, they practiced a total of 35 games.

The result was Itachi had 8 wins and Shisui had 27 wins.

"Your strength has surpassed that of ordinary genin~"

Shisui drank all the water in the kettle and said to Itachi:

"It just so happens that the Chuunin exam teams from each village have almost arrived in the past few days. How about it? Are you confident in facing those guys you have never seen before?"

"..."

Itachi was silent for a moment, then raised the kettle and took the cold water in his mouth.

"I'm not participating this year."

"Eh?"

Zhisui's face was full of surprise,

"With your strength at this level, why don't you participate? You know, that little girl from Aunt Yeyue's house has been very nervous these days!"

Undoubtedly, the little girl Shisui mentioned was referring to Izumi--

Because like Itachi, he graduated early at the age of 7, Izumi is now very popular in the Uchiha clan~

Even because he has completed two difficult missions, his reputation still seems to be overshadowing Itachi's~~~

"...The teacher who leads our team said that the other two are not strong enough to take the Chunin Exam, and the qualifications for the Chunin Exam must be in groups of three."

In fact, after knowing that he would not be able to participate in this year's Chunin Exam, even Itachi, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but run to find the leading teacher.

However, in the face of his inquiry, Minazuki Yuki, who usually didn't respond to anything others said, took a tough attitude this time and refused to listen to his explanation at all. He just stated categorically that he would definitely not be allowed to do so this year. join!

Although I was holding back my anger, there was nothing I could do about it. The rules of the Chuunin Exam were like this. If I didn’t lead a team of jounin to recommend myself, no matter how strong I was, it would be in vain.

Itachi had no choice but to give up;

Even if you don't take the Chunin Exam, as long as the senior management pays attention to the performance of the second class, you can clearly see how much you contribute to the team!

The higher-ups will definitely come looking for me...

Itachi told himself so confidently,

Then I turned around and heard that Quan, who was in the same period, had successfully signed up...

If possible, Itachi would probably grab the leading teacher by the collar and greet him with Marefak! ! !

Look at other people’s teachers, and then look at you! ! !

"Your leading Jonin is Minazuki Yuki?"

Itachi nodded silently.

"Isn't he jealous? Your ability is too strong and arouses his suspicion, so he doesn't recommend you to take the Chunin Exam?"

"It's useless even to think so."

Itachi shook his head.

Although he was really unhappy, he had already stated his position like that, and it would be useless to think about it now. It would only make him more unwilling.

"By the way, is there any progress...between you and that little girl?"

Shisui changed the subject forcibly, and Itachi immediately looked at him with wide eyes.

Seeing him like this, Shisui's face suddenly showed a somewhat proud smile,

"Haha~ It's usually hard to tell what you're thinking, but at times like this it's surprisingly easy to understand~"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You'd better look in the mirror and see your expression~"

After Shisui finished speaking, he smiled like a child who had succeeded in playing a prank, which stung Itachi so much that he had to look away.

"I don't have any particular thoughts about her."

"is it?"

Shisui's expression became even more evil;

"But I clearly didn't mention you by name, so you had such a big reaction~"

"..."

Itachi simply stopped talking.

reaction?

Do I care about her that much?

Itachi couldn't help but ask himself this.

To be honest, as an equally outstanding peer, Quan is indeed one of the few friends I have~

Itachi originally thought that was all~

But when Shisui asked him this question, he felt that it was more than just that~

But despite this,

Thinking that that girl will take the chuunin exam in a few days, and I will most likely become a "mere genin" behind her after a while...

"Let's not talk about this for now! How is your father's condition?"

"You are changing the subject~"

Zhisui showed a smile that said, "Don't explain, I've already seen through you."

But soon, thinking of his father, his smile gradually turned into a haze.

"He is still the same, but he has become weaker and weaker recently, and he is almost unrecognizable to me."

Shisui's father lost a leg in the previous battle and has been bedridden since then. There is still no sign of improvement, let alone getting out of bed.

And Shisui's family only has him and his parents, and now he relies on him to work alone to support the family.

"Is that so..."

"It doesn't matter~ Human beings will die anyway, and I'm ready to wake up."

Seeing his friend suddenly holding such tragic determination, Itachi was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say...

mainly……

Weren't we still having a passionate doubles sparring just now?

Why did it suddenly turn into a misfortune competition? ? ?
