Tournament Part 2
--POV MC--
Seeing Kakashi's speed was no surprise considering he was a genin level shinobi even before entering the academy. I on the other hand am working towards a high academy level from the bottleneck of mid.
I do the leaf concentration exercise plus use up all my chakra reserves and do 5k sprints for my stamina and speed in the mornings. Shuriken practice and chakra wires I do during the afternoon and evening.
At night I meditate and read books on chakra and Genjutsu until my bedtime which is around 9 pm and wake up at 5 am doing the same routine. On Saturdays and Sunday's I write popular stuff from my previous life in my spare time with the same plot but less modern elements.
After I have finished that, I work myself to the bone with my body, chakra and sparring with Guy, Kakashi and Obito. It's been nearly a month starting the academy and I still haven't fully stepped into high academy level.
I am not discouraged but I just know something's off and I can feel it intuitively. My stamina just isn't increasing at the pace it should be. I have trained so much and I should have a lot more stamina, maybe not Kakashi and Guy level but at least Genin.
My speed makes up for it, which is breaking through the threshold of academy level and into Genin. Even though it looks like a bit of work, it's far from it.
Guy's speed surpassed mine by a bit but his strength and stamina are too big of a gap to close. Using these points it's safe to say I will most likely be in the top 5 as there is Choza and that Hyuga.
Especially the Hyuga, even though his gentle fist is not Genin level yet it is still too dangerous to not pay attention to.
Shikamaru has a disadvantage of it being only taijutsu. His tactics revolve around a ninjutsu fight and planning. He has got the second but not the first. Pure strength will overcome anything he does.
This is what Kakashi did. The teacher's eyes didn't go wide for himself but us. He knows that not one of us can avoid that attack. That's why he put Kakashi as the last person we fight.
That Gazelle punch can not be dodged or countered if you don't have Genin level speed. The only way is to predict what he does when he is inside your guard.
But even I cannot pull this off. He can just change the gazelle punch into a grapple position and just submit me with an armbar. I will be too slow to react to that because I was getting ready for a gazelle punch and the factor of his speed.
There were thirteen contestants and ten of them were members of a clan.
POV END
"Fighting first will be Kibira Inuzuka and Ebisu"
The Inuzuka girl looked like a wild beast with that face paint and her wild hair. She had an extremely arrogant expression as she looked at her opponent with disdain.
"Hmph a civilian trying to beat a clan member are you stupid" She spoke with her high pitched voice.
Ebisu just put two fingers on his glasses and tilted then nodded, "Indeed I am you stupid looking dog, go drool somewhere else stinky fucking ugly shit cunt dog"
"Does your mom drool like that on your dad's stinky cock too and you think I am beneath you, I will eat your dog next time I see it?" Ebisu said in a calm tone.
"YOU!!"
"HAHAHA" Most of the boys, in particular, started jumping up and down while laughing extremely loudly
But the teacher just glared at both of them with a frown.
"Begin!"
"AAAHH you lowly civilian" She growled as she started running at him on all fours.
--Ebisu POV--
This bitch dared to speak to me like that in front of everyone. Watch how I humiliate this ugly looking wolf girl.
As she was coming towards me on all fours with ferociousness, I just dodged with calm and precise movements. This was too easy, even if she is a clan member do they not teach her to be calm and collected in these situations.
They probably did but her idiotic head lead her to this. She was now tired anyway so it's time to strike back. I grabbed her up by the neck with a calm expression.
Looking at her scared and helpless expression I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart. Is this the right thing to do? But I was just finishing what she started right?
"Who's the lowly one now huh answer me" As I squeezed on her neck while she made whining noises.
Just as I was about to carry on a hand from behind grabbed me and said
"Ebisu the winner of this match!"
--POV END--
Snickering came from the crowd of students. It started with a few than most of them started bursting out in laughter. She quickly went back to her original place in tears and whining like a dog.
Next was Asuma, Kurenai, Shikaku and the other clan kids. Of course Asuma and Shikaku won but Obito lost to Shikaku. Kurenai lost against a Shimura.
But Guy just advanced winning against a civilian.
"Next Yokuma Uchiha Vs Hisajami Hyuga"
As they were walking towards the centre most people started cheering for Yokuma but the Hyuga didn't pay any attention as he looked at the opponent in front of him.
Hisajami looked a lot more handsome than all his classmates with his black smooth hair and white piercing eyes which looked indifferent to everything they see.
Standing in front of his opponent and giving eye contact, he didn't notice any sort of emotion coming from the opponent's eyes. It feels like there is a barrier as you look into his eyes giving it a kind of secure and sturdy-feeling.
--POV MC--
This was going to be a hard fight... The way he stands signifies a counter for my speed, even if I somehow got inside just one touch of his hand and I will have a non-permanent internal injury.
Also, I can't last as long in fights as average kids of a clan. So I'll try my best to finish it quickly, but this guy won't let me get inside. Even If I do fight from an outside distance it's obvious he would just outlast me in a test of stamina.
"Begin!"
As soon as he said this Hisajami backed away and just stood on guard while eyes were looking straight at my lower half. Sigh as I thought I have to take the fight to him unless.
I just walked towards him with a blank expression on my face and threw a left high kick towards his face. This resulted in his three fingers trying and hurting one of the points in my legs.
Remember I have the speed advantage.
*Fwosh*
I used all the momentum I could, twisting my hips and jumping in the air at the same time. This distracted him. Then I put down the left leg to balance myself and used my hands to grab the back of his head as I wrapped my other around his neck.
*Bang"
My head went straight into his nose which made him wince in pain for a bit. I used this time to punch him in the nose but.
"AAHH" I screamed out.
Holding my left wrist in pain as it felt like I was being burned, but as I was distracted I got a front kick to the face which then kept my mind away from the pain.
As a smirk of near-victory arose on his face I was thinking about what just happened. I see. He used my trick against me. My mistake was being too focused on what I was doing instead of what he was doing too.
"Do you want to carry on?" Said my sensei.
"No" As I held my left wrist in my hand squeezing it to numb my pain a bit.
"Hisajima Hyuga the winner!"
Reflecting at the loss there was only one chance I could have taken but even then it was a seventy per cent chance of working. I could have carried on with this nearly ruptured wrist but why should I?
Glory, pride, dignity and face? These are all just tools for me to use because what are these in front of eternal life. That's right absolutely nothing. Losing this match didn't cause one ripple in my heart.
Not because it has happened before. But because it's meaningless to me. Power, Fame and status are just things I am using to reach my end goal. So why do would I carry on and take the risk of further injury just to get into the top 7 of the class.
If this furthered my way into my true end goal, I would gladly do it with a smile on my face. I wouldn't do anything without a price or me getting something out of it. All these actions I have done until now are not just because of the sake of it. But are done for my goal.
There are many goals to achieve before I get to the end. But I will never change the actions I do for anything or anyone unless that way helps me towards my path to immortality.
