But that wasn't over. Ryu put himself in a posture similar to a beast. Upper limbs almost touching the ground. Legs spread, knees apart. So he ran and started another battle, this time coordinating perfectly with Kimimaru. Each blow was instinctual and he began to put pressure on Kakashi. Still, that was all. They couldn't even get a well-placed hit. Damn it! So annoying!
Of course, frustration was only in the hearts of the three genin of Team 10. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Yamato were horrified in their hearts. Naruto looked at that high intensity fight and began to wonder what kind of monster was his friend. Not to mention the difference between his team and Kakashi's fight with what was happening now. Although he and Deme somehow collaborated with each other, they weren't that fluid and able to face Kakashi like that. They were inferior to Akashi Ryu's group, he admitted, but he wasn't unhappy about it. Ryu once said he wanted to be the strongest ninja in history. Since he heard this he started training himself to catch up and surpass his friend. Seeing that Ryu was taking it seriously just got him excited.
"I knew he was strong, but this is almost crazy." whispered the blonde, whereupon the three others heard. Sasuke jealous and angry and Sakura afraid of the threat he made to her earlier. Now she knew he was capable of fulfilling what he'd promised to do if she faced him again.
"What do you mean, dobe? He's always been strong, but that's... it can't even be called strong anymore. He's a monster." Sasuke spoke with obvious displeasure and jealousy.
"You're an idiot, Deme. Ryu trained really hard to stay strong. I remember all the times his nii threw him into the forest of death to survive alone for several days. Sometimes he came back all full of blood and not beast's blood, but his blood. Not to mention the weights he used every day to strengthen his body. Ryu once said that a civilian had nothing but his own body and that since that is the case, then the body should be the main focus. He's spent years since he was 4 just building up his physical strength and stamina so that when it comes time to unlock his chakra, he's not at a disadvantage compared to clan members like you and the rest of the gang." Naruto was thrilled at that point. "He is not a born monster, but a monster built by his own power."
Of course, the blond Uzumaki didn't know that Ryu was a cheater and a god in that, but the trainings and life and death battles in the forest of death were ugly choices by the boy to increase his strength faster. Of course, he was also diligent and wouldn't skip training if it wasn't something very special. So it wasn't wrong to assume the boy trained almost as much as Lee, if not more.
In any case, that speech touched the hearts of all who heard it. That said, Kimimaru, Haku and Ryu had no idea what the four members of their audience were thinking about them.
Sakura began to admire and fear Akashi even more. Someone who knew of the injustice among ninjas of civilian origin compared to ninjas of clans and yet can stand up to them like that... in fact, he has already surpassed most of his peers. Sasuke, in addition to jealousy still couldn't hide his respect. Now, what Dobe said, he was really civil in origin. No clan jutsus. No personal taijutsu methods. Just his own diligence and effort... At that moment, Sasuke realized how many advantages he had himself, but he still wasn't even close to the boy fighting his sensei...
"Kakashi-Ossan, why are you so gross? Just give up and let us get the bells now!" Ryu yelled angrily. Saying that he starts to increase his speed even more and kicks and punches Kakashi with all the force of his underdeveloped 13 year old body. Still, waves were ejected each time their blows connected with the jounin's defense. Some of his bones had already started to crack under the pressure of the fight. "Bastard, take my punch!" He yelled and threw his left fist towards Kakashi's face while throwing his right towards the outside. Kimimaru was already positioned behind the jounin, punches prepared and launched towards the back of the head. At this point, Kakashi finally removed the bandana from his left eye and a three-tomoe sharingan emerged.
As soon as he released his eyes, Kakashi was able to see everything the two planned with awe. Little Akashi's punches were just a distraction for a fiercely aimed knee at his groin. Such a cruel blow from such an innocent looking boy. Though his mouth is as cruel as his mind. He could feel Kimimaru's fists going towards his head and smiled when he saw it. He would have to choose between taking a punch that might make him conscious or accepting the knee in the groin and possibly not being able to havechildren in the future. Difficult decisions. She thought the jounin before jumping into the air with shushin, smiling at her escape.
Without anyone thinking, he released a genjutsu with his sharingan, but their attack didn't become more hesitant. Kakashi was surprised to find that the genjutsu didn't even work... how? But there was no time for questions like that right now.
Without thinking too much, he jumped into the air to escape the blows, imagining that the two would end up hitting each other. Unfortunately for him, his sharingan allowed him to see the smiles on the faces of the two genin below.
"I'm screwed, aren't I?" he thought amused.
