Chereads / Life as an Uzumaki / Chapter 21 - Taijutsu match

Chapter 21 - Taijutsu match

It had been around four months from my birthday and the academy had began around three months ago. During this time i finished the tree walking excercise along with half volume of level two fuinjutsu. I started my second step on wind manipulation excercise of cutting the water fall which I found deep inside the forest.

My taijutsu was on its way to low chunin level but i needed to be more fluent. i increased my weights from fifteen to twenty five kg each for better speed and conditioning .

In academy we started on our taijutsu katas and leaf balancing excercise which were pretty much covered by me. Classes were going smoothly and i also enjoyed good times with my friends. On my visit to the aburame compound i had a pretty exciting experience and shino conversed a lot with me and was later joined by Shibi aburame who invited me to the compound anytime.

Today was an important day in academy as today was the first taijutsu match between students. The whole morning students were buzzing around with excitement and then the time came for the matches.

Upon reaching the grounds the showdown started with the girls first . Hinata , Sakura,Ino and a civilian girl named Ami did well but the rest of them were pretty pathetic.

The boys started with sasuke and Naruto fighting where Naruto was pretty much beaten black and blue . The other clan heirs did well too. I was paired along with a civilian

student who was towards the weak category, making my fighting spirit drop.

The second part started soon and i was paired with Kiba the heir of the inzuka clan.

Upon entering the ring i did the sign of fighting which he pretty much ignored ,after a lecture by Iruka sensei he complied with it and started his trash talks.

I didn't let it get to me and stood taking the opening stance of UZUKEN. He jumped forward with his claw style without thinking anything,i redirected it and struck three times on his extended arm ,he growled at me and started performing a Getsuga , i redirected it again with my hand and countered it with well placed strikes on his back making him cry out in pain.

There was pin drop silence around the ring as everyone was pretty much shocked seeing me manhandle kiba. I looked and saw Iruka gave a nod of satisfaction seeing my progress , suddenly i heard shouting,i looked back and saw kiba taking a red pill. Iruka started shouting from the side to make him stop and started to run towards us to stop him .

As if possessed by a beast kiba started clawing and gnawing towards me .I was shocked seeing this and started dodging it as fast as I could . I didn't need to wait long as suddenly two blurs pinned him down one was mizuki and other was Iruka sensei.

I started taking deep breaths and thanked them. The school was dismissed early after the incident and i saw kiba been taken away by iruka to the hokage office. I didn't think much and left for my place . I was pretty much satisfied with my progress and vowed to train more for the upcoming future.
