Itachi did not expect Zhang Miao to take the initiative to challenge him.
Although he had just entered the Ninja Academy, in terms of strength, even the kids in the senior year were no match for him.
In other words, the current Itachi already had the strength of a Genin!
In such a situation, Zhang Miao proposed to "fight" with him, which made Itachi feel a little awkward.
"This is..."
Itachi was worried that if he attacked, he would accidentally injure Zhang Miao. However, if he refused, he was worried that Zhang Miao would be unhappy. This immediately made him feel awkward.
However, Zhang Miao did not have such thoughts. After rolling up his sleeves, he threw a straight punch at Itachi's head.
"Careful!"
In fact, there was no need for Zhang Miao to remind him. His long-term training made Itachi react quickly to block.
"Pow!"
When Itachi blocked Zhang Miao's fist, their arms hit each other and immediately made a very crisp sound. However, the strength coming from Zhang Miao's hands made Itachi a little surprised.
"What power!"
During his time at the Academy, Itachi had already fought with his seniors, but no one had a punch as strong as Zhang Miao's.
Just when Itachi was a little surprised, Zhang Miao's laughter once again entered his ears.
"Hehe, Itachi, if you underestimate me, you will suffer a big loss!"
With that, Zhang Miao jumped and whipped his leg!
Zhang Miao's whip kick was fast and accurate, basically sealing off all of Itachi's escape routes. This time, Itachi did not dare to be careless and quickly raised his hands to guard.
Zhang Miao's whip kick accurately landed on the Itachi's guarding hands, making a dull sound.
"Bang!"
What Itachi did not expect was that the strength of Zhang Miao's kick was much stronger than he imagined. He, who was standing unsteadily, suddenly took several steps back, his heart full of shock.
"So strong!"
At this time, Itachi discovered that it was completely wrong for him to compare Zhang Miao with those weaklings at the Academy.
In taijutsu, whether in terms of strength, speed or accuracy, Zhang Miao was comparable to the ninjas on the real battlefield, or even stronger!
Thinking of this, Itachi did not dare to be careless anymore. He began to focus on Zhang Miao's movements and began to make a proper counterattack.
As for Zhang Miao, the more he fought, the more smooth he became. He had inherited the Jonin-level basic taijutsu from Wuy, and it began to display its true power!
"Crack!"
The sounds of the two fighting immediately attracted the attention of Fugaku and Mikoto.
Looking at the two little figures in the courtyard, Mikoto's eyes widened.
"Is that... Ryunosuke? I didn't expect him to be so powerful at such a young age!"
She knew about Itachi's strength, but she didn't expect Zhang Miao to be able to fight his son equally.
"Well, he is indeed very good."
Hearing Mikoto's words, Fugaku, who had always been silent, also nodded.
"His strength, speed, and accuracy are impeccable. Not many Genin can do it. Ryunosuke's basics is very good, and his teacher must be very skilled in taijutsu!"
Fugaku was always a very strict person, so when he heard that he had such a high evaluation of Zhang Miao, Mikoto widened their eyes in surprise.
But before she could speak, Fugaku frowned and said in a low voice: "It's almost over!"
Hearing Fugaku's words,
She quickly turned around and looked at the yard.
After Itachi avoided Zhang Miao's side kick, he turned around and jumped back a few meters, his hands quickly forming seals!
Snake - Ram - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger!
Looking at the order of the seals, Mikoto opened her eyes wide.
"That is.. the Fireball Jutsu? Dear, quickly stop them!"
Mikoto was really anxious. The Fireball Jutsu was a C-rank ninjutsu, and its lethality was very high. If one got hit by that, they would be seriously injured!
However, compared to the anxious Mikoto, Fugaku seemed very calm.
"Don't worry, Itachi is about to lose!"
"Itachi is going to lose?"
Hearing Fugaku's words, Mikoto widened her eyes again in surprise.
In her opinion, the one who was about to win was Itachi, and Zhang Miao was likely to be seriously injured, but Fugaku said that Itachi was going to lose, how was that possible?
But soon, she understood that Fugaku was right.
In just three seconds, Itachi finished forming the seals. He took a deep breath and was ready to release the fireball.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Miao, who was in front of him just now, suddenly disappeared!
Where was he?
Just as Itachi was looking for Zhang Miao, a familiar voice sounded below him.
"Itachi? Are you looking for me?"
Hearing this voice, Itachi immediately widened his eyes in shock. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
"It's over!"
Zhang Miao shouted and then kicked Itachi's chin, sending him flying.
"Bang!"
When Itachi fell to the ground, there was a burst of applause from the side.
"Clap.. clap.. clap.."
Hearing the applause, Itachi and Zhang Miao turned around and saw Fugaku clapping and walking towards them.
"Ryunosuke's taijutsu is very good. Although it is only some basic taijutsus, the more basic things are, the more one can see the ability of a ninja. To be able to do this, Ryunosuke must have put in a lot of effort. Very good!
In the face of Fugaku's praise, Zhang Miao scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hehe, actually, I didn't practice much. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Maybe I am the genius that everyone often talks about!"
Fugaku: "..."
"Fuck, you're too full of yourself!"
After glancing at Zhang Miao, Fugaku then turned to look at Itachi, who had just gotten up from the ground.
"Itachi! It's right to use ninjutsu against a taijutsu user, but you have to know that their movements are very fast. When using ninjutsu, you have to try to distance yourself from the opponent, understand?"
"Yes, Father, I understand!"
Looking at Itachi who was humbly taught, Fugaku nodded his head in satisfaction.
At this time, Zhang Miao also came over, and then hugged Itachi's neck with a smile.
"Hehe, Uncle Fugaku, don't be so strict. Itachi hasn't awakened his Sharingan yet, so I can only take this opportunity to bully him. When he opens his Sharingan, ordinary taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu are all useless. At that time, Itachi will be really powerful, right?"
"What..."
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Itachi looked at his father again, but before Fugaku could react, Zhang Miao spoke again.
"Don't look at him. I have no right to speak like that to Uncle Fugaku. But do you believe that I could make him bleat like a goat right now?"
Fugaku : "..."
Itachi: "..."
Mikoto: "..."
