Bang!!!!!!!!
Aoba used all his strength to make the final headbutt, but he was easily blocked by a palm.
"Let's call it a day. Victory and defeat have been decided."
"Itachi, you lost."
Shisui suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked Aoba's headbutt with one hand. Then, he casually slapped it twice and separated the two of them.
After seeing that Shisui finally came out, Aoba couldn't help but feel relieved. Then, he removed [Hardening]'s state and sat down on the ground, breathing in the fresh air.
He had long discovered that there was someone hiding nearby through [Eye Of Perception], and it was very likely that it was someone from the Uchiha family.
Therefore, he had only said some words of 'rebellious' in the beginning, but he had failed to provoke the other party. From this, he guessed that the person who had quietly followed him was likely the worried Shisui.
Reality proved that his guess was correct.
Shisui, this fellow, had been watching the show the entire time and only jumped out in the end to end this duel that had been decided.
When Itachi saw that the person who had come was Shisui, he also felt relieved in his heart, and his entire body staggered and almost fell.
There was no other reason. It was because he had suffered a lot from the two hammers just now. His forehead was red and swollen, looking extremely frightening.
As Shisui helped Itachi slowly sit down, Aoba grimaced in pain and laughed aloud, "Shisui, did you see that? I successfully beat up the super genius of your Uchiha family! Hahaha..."
Initially, with Itachi's personality, he would ignore such boring remarks. However, after such a soul-stirring confrontation, it seemed to break a bit of his dull character. He could not help but explain, "If not for the fact that you could only use physical skills, you wouldn't even be able to touch the corner of my clothes! Moreover, we agreed not to use any other abilities, yet you secretly used Kekkei Genkai!"
Although losing was losing, Itachi would not deny this point.
However, it was hard to say if he was convinced in his heart.
If he could also use Kekkei Genkai, then even if it were for just Sharingan, he would be able to reverse the situation instantly!
Aoba curled his lips when he heard this.
"Kekkei Genkai? I only said that you couldn't use it. I didn't say that I couldn't use it. Anyway, you lost. You can do as you see fit."
The words that Itachi wanted to say were all blocked. He had a new understanding of the other party's thick skin!
As for the topic of Kekkei Genkai, everyone tacitly did not mention it again, nor did they ask because this was undoubtedly a secret that could not be told to others, just like how no information about Sharingan could be mentioned to outsiders.
Shisui looked at Itachi's change and could not help but reveal a smile, 'Youth is a really good thing.'
"Tomorrow, I will come again… Also, I am sorry."
Itachi, who was covered in wounds, said to Aoba with a serious expression before he was brought back by Shisui. He was apologizing for his 'weak'.
There was no need for any promises or anything else, and just this one sentence was enough.
"Forget about the apology. I will wait for you." Aoba also smiled happily for him.
Since Itachi said he would come again tomorrow, no matter what obstruction he received, he would definitely come!
Aoba firmly believed in this.
As for Itachi, who had chosen to resist in advance, what kind of choice would he make in the future? He was also very eager to see!
After Itachi and Shisui left, Aoba finally could no longer maintain the posture of a winner. He immediately ran to open the rice that he brought with him, a rice ball in his left hand, a rice ball in his right hand and desperately stuffed it into his mouth.
In fact, not only did Itachi look so miserable.
The injuries Aoba suffered were not light either.
After [Hardening]'s condition was removed, the pain from his entire body almost drowned him.
Moreover, the amount of physical energy consumed to activate [Hardening]'s all-out battle was beyond his expectations.
Although the damage could be repaired at any time, this was also based on the consumption of his physical strength.
In other words, the more attacks he received, the faster his physical strength would decline.
In addition to the heavy injuries that Itachi had inflicted on him during his several counterattacks
As a last resort, he could only choose to use [Poor Quality Self Healing Body] to speed up the recovery of his injuries, and his physical strength fell further.
At this time, he was already starving to the point of pressing his chest against his back!
The dozen rice balls he brought with him were forcefully stuffed into his mouth and swallowed in less than a minute. Because of this, he almost choked himself to death. He gulped down a large bottle of water before he finally came back to life!
"But, I'm still hungry!"
Aoba, whose eyes were glowing with green light, glanced at the bark and grass beside him, not knowing if it tasted good or not.
…..
On the other side, after Shisui brought the injured Itachi back to the clan, Itachi's parents, Fugaku and Mikoto, immediately rushed over after hearing the news.
"Shisui, what exactly is going on?"
Looking at Itachi, who was currently bandaging his wounds, his face darkened, and he questioned furiously. He knew that Itachi immediately ran out after the confinement period was over. He had secretly sent Shisui to protect Itachi.
But now that Itachi had suffered such a serious injury, Shisui didn't seem to have dirtied his clothes. This couldn't be explained no matter how he looked at it.
If not for his trust in Shisui, he would not have the patience to ask the other party at this moment.
At this time, before Shisui could speak, Itachi, who was receiving treatment at the side, said first, "It has nothing to do with Big Brother Shisui. It is me. I was in a duel with Shinomiya Aoba."
"Duel?"
The name Shinomiya Aoba was not unfamiliar to Fugaku. After all, because of this person, Uchiha lost a clansman.
However, why was Itachi so eager to fight this person?
Weren't they on good terms?
It was also on that day that Itachi showed Sharingan to him.
Fugaku knew that it was because of this guy that Itachi was dissatisfied with him. Otherwise, he would not hide such an important thing as Sharingan from him. Instead, he would inform him of this good news immediately.
In addition, how could that kid beat Itachi?
Could it be that Itachi was standing still and letting the other party beat him?
Just as Fugaku was thinking about the connection, he heard Itachi say, "We used pure body techniques to have a duel, and the final result was that I lost. I did not show any mercy but tried my best. So this is enough to prove that Father's prejudice is wrong. He is qualified to stand beside me, and I did not waste time and energy on those who can only look at my back."
"I know I have my own mission, so I need companions."
"And Shinomiya Aoba is the person I recognize."
