Chereads / The Returned Kunoichi / Chapter 5 - Spar

Chapter 5 - Spar

"Come here with all you got my little princess" Tsumiki threw two kunai at her. Tsukiho swiftly twisted her body while throwing a shuriken aimed his wrist.

"Nice one! How could you think of such a tricky angle?" Tsumiki dodged it by step side.

Seeing her father's exclamation she smirked. Compared to what she trained and did in the military academy, this training is nothing. It is just the battle is enhanced by chakra. But she admitted that her father's kenjutsu, shurikenjutsu and taijutsu is also top tier. 'I guess kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu is Uchiha clan speciality.'

Then she threw a kunai at father's head intending to make him ducked down and used body flicker technique to get behind him. Then she did a hand chop to make him unconscious. With a puff sound his body disappeared.

'A shadow clone, it should be when I get behind him. Then the substitution too. Now where is he?'

Mind eye of Kagura

She used her sensory ability to track him and found him in on a tree. "Fire style, fire ball jutsu"

"Hahaha my little princess is a cheat. Not fun at all. But still not enough. Fuinjutsu, Chakra absorption seal"

Then she used body flicker technique to get back to the side of him while making handsigns. "Fire style, phoenix flower jutsu" she shot out a fire from mouth while throwing shuriken using the flame as a cover.

Then his pupils became blood red as he activated Sharingan. He fluently avoided her attack. He felt a cold glint came in front of him. "Good one" he took his tanto and defend against her attack and used the flat side of the tanto to slip near the hilt of her sword and skillfully rotated as he disarming her.

Taking advantage of her attention he made a horizontal slash towards her. To dodge that she jumped backward and speed up her handsigns. "Earth style, mud wall" using the wall as a cover Tsukiho immediately did another set of handsigns and wait for a moment before jumped up. "Water style, water break wave" a high speed water column immediately shot up from Tsukiho's mouth, turning into a sharp water knife. It slightly slice through the mud wall before countering Tsumiki.

"Princess that is quite impressive but the pressure is not enough." Tsumiki jumped over the mud wall and slashed from above. She sided her body and punch the ground with compressed chakra. The ground shattered into rubbles. When he landed on the ground his moments got clumsy.

'She is more like Yuna than me. She is still only one year old. With intelligence beyond her age, monstrous chakra reserve if she awake Sharingan?' Thinking about that he shivered. 'She definitely become a figure like Lord First' But thinking about her age and her lack of experience, he started to worry. 'With her talent if she exposed herself she definitely become a target of other villages. When she get little older I should bring her to battlefield. With the sage body it won't be much problem but we still have to take precautions.'

Speaking of the sage body, when his daughter went to meet up with his grandfather he took a blood sample of Tsukiho since she is a combination of Uzumaki and Uchiha. Fortunately his mother's overprotective feelings for her granddaughter, great grandfather didn't notice the abnormality. When they returned from Kanabi Bridge Yuna and his grandmother undid the bandage to treat her wound correctly. What Naori stunned was there wasn't a wound at all. Even though the removed bandage had a little trace of blood, the wound in her hand healed as there was no wound at all. Even Tsukiho was stupified by her rapid healing properties. Then she understood the endless potential of her body.

But according to her mother, though it is not common to have sage body, it wasn't rare either. It made her realise Nagato who bears Madara's rinnegan should also have a sage body.

"Wind release, great breakthrough" a small blast of wind started to attack Tsumiki.

"Fire style, phoenix flower jutsu" shuriken covered with fire was directed towards Tsukiho.

"Water style, water armor" she covered herself with water and caught red hot shurikens before throwing them back.

Then she remembered a technique that Madara taught her. After six months ago her first encounter with Madara, her grandmother often let Tsukiho to see her great grandfather.

As she thought Madara has a soft spot for her. He taught her various Uchiha taijutsu and kenjutsu.

Uchiha taijutsu wasn't based on pure physical strength. It is a combination of deflecting, evading and striking at vital points. It emphasized the concept of 'always aim for a kill'. But she understood that the key point should be Sharingan. But it is still has many good techniques for a taijutsu master.

As for kenjutsu, even Tsukiho is also a newbie for this. She mostly held was cold weapons like guns. Though she knew how to handle knives before. So the using sword became a whole new experience for her. With Madara's patient guidance she started to learn them bit by bit. First she used a heavy sword to practice. Then she slowly started to learn how to use her wind chakra with kenjutsu. Even Naori helped her to learn how to cover the sword with wind chakra. After months she started to cut the huge stones like tofu with the help of her wind chakra. She started to learn other kenjutsu slowly yet in a steady way.

Seeing her fast progress Madara gifted a kusanagi sword as one year old birthday gift. He started to honed her fire style before she became eight months old. Even Madara who was once rivalled with Hashirama was shocked about Tsukiho's intelligence and fast reflections. Though her speed couldn't compare with his speed, he knew one day she definitely cought up with him.

Tsukiho was easily able to comprehend and use all the things that he taught her and because of her Uzumaki physique and sage body she had a huge chakra reserve and far better chakra control at such a young age.

Even though she didn't use fire style often, her proficient in fire style unrivalled to her father who was expertise in ninjutsu and kenjutsu.

When she became one year old she started to learn various things from her mother. Like training mind eye of Kagura, Fuinjutsu, juinjutsu and basics of medical jutsu. Although she memorised most of things, Complicated things like fuinjutsu and juinjutsu need is practice time than the talent.

Eventhough she tempted to learn Flying thunder God technique from grandmother; she understood if she want to learn it, at least she need to train basics of fuinjutsu. So when she was one year the first thing she learnt is multi shadow clone jutsu, so she can do more works at the same time.

After returning father's shurikens at him. She quickly started to do handsigns.

"Fire style dragon flame release song" three short flame dragons came out of her mouth.

After that she sensed almost of her chakra gone. Although she has sage body, she doesn't have chakra compared to a tail beast as she still a child. She started to do one last technique.

"Fire style great flame flower."

She jumped up after picking up her sword again. Using her as a cover of her own jutsu she infused her wind chakra to the sword blade and made a downward slash with wind chakra while standing on the ground again. Seeing her father used substitution she immediately used mind eye of Kagura. Sensing her father's chakra signature from below the ground she jumped up and punched the ground with compressed chakra strength.

Sensing her daughter's punch. He immediately came out from the ground. "Hahaha you got me princess"

He laughed warily. "Before stopping I have a question. Why didn't you mix other two with ninjutsu?"

"I want to see the damage they can do?" She showed a silly smile. "So I can use them well in other times"

"Hahaha" He gave her a dry smile.
