Chapter 13 Rapid Progress In Combat
Sasuke's sudden burst of speed didn't catch Kakashi completely off guard. Although it was surprising to witness a newly graduated Genin move at such incredible velocity, Kakashi had already been aware of Sasuke's exceptional speed.
Reacting swiftly, Kakashi also brandished his Kunai, ready to test Sasuke's physical abilities. However, in the next moment, a faint sound of wind breaking reached Kakashi's ears, causing him to momentarily freeze. His peripheral vision caught a barely perceptible black shadow rapidly approaching from the right.
Within a split second, Kakashi halted his forward movement. Then, a shuriken struck his eyes from the right, surprising him. Kakashi realized that Sasuke had used the moment he raised his hand and turned his Kunai to cleverly conceal the shuriken's throw. It was an impressive feat to make the shuriken circle a large arc and aim towards Kakashi's temple.
Kakashi couldn't help but think, 'This Uchiha boy...'. Even under the guise of playing with Kunai, Sasuke had managed to throw the shuriken with impeccable precision. This level of skill was unexpected from a Genin.
Undeterred, Kakashi easily blocked Sasuke's attack and countered by kicking him forcefully. Despite Sasuke's attempt to block the attack in mid-air, he was repelled by Kakashi's superior strength. Quickly recovering upon landing, Sasuke adjusted his body posture and charged at Kakashi again, ensuring he maintained the attack's momentum.
The dazzling exchange of acrobatics commenced. Little Sakura, who had been hiding in the bushes, found herself completely dumbfounded by the intense battle unfolding before her. Naruto, having experienced Kakashi's strength firsthand, was even more astounded to witness Sasuke engaging in a fierce fight with their Jōnin-sensei.
Naruto's hands dropped naturally as he stared intently at the figure of Sasuke, flickering so fast that it became difficult to track his movements. Naruto couldn't help but think, 'Sasuke... Is this your true strength?'
Even Hiruzen, in his office, was surprised by the turn of events. The fact that Sasuke possessed the physical skills to go toe-to-toe with Kakashi in taijutsu at such a young age worried him. Although Sasuke's strength didn't match that of a Jōnin, it was a cause for concern.
However, the most astonished person in the scenario was Kakashi himself. He could feel Sasuke's fighting rhythm becoming tighter with each passing moment. Every movement seemed stronger than the last. Kakashi couldn't help but think, 'What a genius...'
Kakashi acknowledged the growing threat and realized he couldn't continue to spar with Sasuke in this manner. Despite Sasuke's improvement in taijutsu, Kakashi held the advantage in terms of sheer strength. In the face of absolute power, skills alone would eventually falter.
With a serious expression, Kakashi unleashed his full power. He sent Sasuke flying with a single palm strike, even though Sasuke had managed to block it. Although Sasuke tried to regain his rhythm and attack again, Kakashi's strength proved too overwhelming. Sasuke stood still, choosing to defend instead.
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Sasuke's defensive stance. He realized that Sasuke's intuition and exceptional fighting talent had allowed him to quickly adapt to the battle. Kakashi's hands moved swiftly, seeking to control the fight's tempo and force Sasuke to unleash his Lightning Style.
Sasuke, however, was hesitant to reveal his Lightning Style just yet. Unaware that Kakashi was aware of his hidden ability, Sasuke found himself caught between dod
ging Kakashi's attacks and avoiding the thrown Kunai. With Kakashi's speed, Sasuke had to be faster to evade the assaults.
Yet, Sasuke didn't want to expose his Lightning Style prematurely, unaware that Kakashi already knew about it. In this critical moment, Sasuke instinctively reached for his ninja bag with his right hand...
