Academy Days [3]

---

"Kakashi and Obito. Come on!"

It was time for the sparring match. 

"Kakashi and Obito eh!"

Asuma who was beside me said. 

"Who do you think will win?"

He looked at me with a 'Are you serious face?'

"Kakashi, of course."

 I expected that much. 

"But it does not mean Obito is weak."

Kurenai who was beside Asuma said looking at me. Rin also looked at me and nodded.

"Obito is probably in top five of this class in terms of taijutsu."

Asuma added.

Hoh~

"Ranking eh! Care to tell me the ranks?"

"Well, Kakashi is first, this guy is second-

He pointed at Might Guy who was beside me. 

Might Guy have a grin. "I will soon be the strongest taijutsu master!"

'You will.'

"Then it's probably me, Obito and Genma."

"Who?" 

He looked at the direction of the boy. He was wearing a bandana and had a toothpick in his mouth.

Isn't he that absolute Chad who blocked kunai with a senbon from his mouth?

Damn so they are from the same class.

"Oh!" I commented and started watching the fight. 

They both made the seal of confrontation. 

"Go!"

In a swift speed, both of them clashed. Obito threw the first punch aiming to hit Kakashi's face, but Kakashi dodged it and landed a kick on Obito's stomach, making him crash to the ground. 

Obito gritted his teeth as he stood up and rushed again. Kakashi's attacks were precise and calculated while Obito's was relentless. 

Even though they were still kids barely four, their movements were a dance of combat. I gulped. They were kids yet were so strong and their movements were finesse. 

"Go! Kakashi!"

One of the guys shouted. 

"Go! Obito!"

The other shouted. Their spar was cheered on heavily. Obito seemed to unlock his full potential while fighting Kakashi. 

In the final moment, Kakashi executed a swift spin, feinting to the left. Obito's gaze followed the feint, and in that brief instant, Kakashi pivoted right, delivering a powerful roundhouse kick to Obito's temple, leaving him sprawled on the ground.

"Over"

The teacher shouted.

"Wooooooooooooh!"

Damn. That was really awesome.

"Winner Kakashi!" 

Obito got up. His face bruised. His glasses also looked dirty. 

"Tch" He clicked his mouth. 

They both did the seal of reconciliation and then slowly the teachers started calling everyone.

I watch as Asuma's turn came. 

The fight was nothing interesting. Asuma won it easily. 

---

All the top five with the class was called. 

Phew.

I just don't want to embarrass myself and I have never sparred or fought in this life. The previous me was really sickly so even after taking over and regaining my health Mito would not let me spar.

The only ninja thing the previous me did was well practicing sensing. I am a really good sensor better than all genins and many chunins.

Senjus were the best when it came to sensing and manipulating the natural chakra or any type of chakra as well as Yang Release.

"Gintoki and Kaito."

The teacher had a small smile. I could sense his intentions. Uchiha vs Senju eh.

"Beat his ass, Gin." 

Asuma said to me. 

"You can do it." 

Kurenai added. 

I nodded and went to the small arena; it was a circle made in ground. 

"Ready to get your ass beaten?"

Kaito said to me. 

"Sure"

I scoffed. 

"Make the seal of confrontation."

The teacher said to us, and we both nodded. 

I made the seal of confrontation and so did Kaito. 

"Begin."

The teacher shouted. 

The cheers I was listening. The surroundings. My mind focused on only one thing and one thing alone. 

My opponent. 

Kaito. 

He charged towards me, his fist swinging, yet it seemed sluggish. My vision wasn't exceptional—I wasn't a Uchiha. But I could sense it... his chakra, his movements, and his intentions.

His punch zeroed in on me, and instinctively, my body moved, recalling the taijutsu techniques I had practiced diligently after Mito's passing, playing out in my mind.

I side stepped just before it could land on me. As soon as I side stepped, I spun my body and kicked him in the jaw.

He flew out of the arena before hitting the ground. I regained my balance. 

SILENCE

"Woooooooooooooooooh!"

"Did you see him spin?"

"What's with that insane power."

I saw the teacher rushing at Kaito. I could see his face. He was unconscious. 

I felt powerful just like at that time when I first time completed the tree walking exercise.
