5 Ch 5 : Class ranking battle

After Chisaki, who was the last person, said his introduction. The introduction session was finished.

" Great goals, everyone. I hope you all achieve them. Now we will move to our next class-"

However, just at this time, someone suddenly came from outside the class in a rush.

" I'm sorry, sensei! I helped an old woman find her lost cat along the way. That's why I'm late!"

As he finished his words, the whole classroom burst into laughter, with even the teacher Sora-Sensei, could only shake his head helplessly at the conduct of this student.

Being late on the first day, if it was not a neglection, then he didn't know what else it was.

Chisaki, on the other hand, was not really interested. Someone like this, he would just be a cannon-fodder later in the future, and Chisaki just shrugged it off without any laughter or sneer.

It was just a pure uncaring attitude. But without him knowing, his act of not laughing or sneering had attracted the attention of a particular someone.

" *Cough* Stop laughing, guys. Continuing where I was cut before, in this school, we raise Ninja, and in the world of Ninja, survival of the fittest is one of its most important rules. After this, we will go with a one Vs. one battle where we shall determine the class ranking! Now everyone, follow me!"

Following Sora-Sensei, every student in Chisaki's class went toward the playground.

In this session, other than Sasori, almost all of them were a no-name guy in the anime. And although he had no interest in this Ninja game played by children, Chisaki knew he must show his skill today.

This class ranking would be important to decide the ninja team later, and Chisaki definitely didn't want to be grouped up with Cannon fodder.

From his father's explanation, Chisaki knows that the team distribution in Suna was different from one in Konoha. It was based on strength, and the strong would be grouped up with the strong, while the weak would be grouped up with the weak.

Chisaki wanted to be the teammate of Konan, and for that, he needed to display his skill as he knew that Konan would certainly be the center of attention in another class.

Other than that, Chisaki also needs to slowly build up his profile. With the Overhaul ability, it was definite that he would be a powerhouse in the ninja world, but if he just displayed his ability like that, nobody would believe that this is a technique that he came out with.

So because of this, he needed to go strong to show his potential of becoming a great ninja and was a genius that has overridden everyone's expectations.

"The first battle… "Cannonfodder A" Vs. "Cannonfodder B"!" After Sora-Sensei announced the 1st battle, the two Cannonfodders entered the battle arena across each other.

Based on their first few moves, Chisaki could see that both of them clearly were not trained children.

The two of them began to brawl with each other, but there was no clear winner. In the end, one of them hit some lucky chances and ended up as the winner.

But Chisaki was not the only one who thought like this.

Sasori on the side also watched the children battling, and his eyes clearly showed a look of disinterest.

Chisaki watched the few next battles, but they were just at the level of normal civilians. So naturally, nothing was worth seeing.

"The next game, Sasori against Cannonfodder X!"

Graduating at the age of seven in the databook, one of the Akatsuki members and one that was able to assassinate the strongest Kazekage. Chisaki had pretty high expectations on the now five years old Sasori.

" Humph, good look and good background. I'll show you that in the ninja academy, you still need to pay respect to the local boss here!"

The Cannon fodder tried to provoke Sasori, but Sasori ignored the cannon fodders provocation and gave him his usual pale look without moving.

" Let's just finish quickly. I need to go home and finish my art."

With Sasori's uncaring attitude, the cannon-fodder was irritated as he directly rushed toward Sasori, clenching his fist hard as he attempted to get a hard blow on Sasori's face.

"You!!!"

But contrary to everyone's expectations. Sasori didn't even display a defensive posture.

He moved like he was disinterested, but he easily avoided every punch thrown by the cannon fodder.

The cannon-fodder was just a civilian born, and even though his parent had paid some money to a Chunin to guide him before, it was still far from Sasori, who had the direct guidance of Suna's grand elder, Chiyo, and Ebizo.

After a few rounds, the cannon-fodder began to breathe harshly.

It was a common misconception that a puppeteer was weak in close combat. In fact, they were rather proficient on it.

Everyone was taught that to handle puppeteers, you must go into close combat with them, but would Suna's puppeteer who knows this weakness, just let it be like that?

Almost all Suna's puppeteer would get harsh physical and taijutsu training when they were young, and only when they were deemed qualified enough would they get their first puppet.

Continuing on the battle, the cannon-fodder knew that he must not things go on like this, so he decided to go on with his last resort.

"Arrgghhh"

He no longer cared about Sasori's movement as he now rushed toward Sasori, trying to get him into a bear hug and take him down to the ground.

But the reality was often not as beautiful as our imagination. The moment the cannon-fodder thought he successfully took down Sasori, the Sasori that he bear-hugged turned into a puppet, and a new unharmed Sasori appeared behind him with a kunai right on his neck.

" You lost!"

"Damn fucker, I will win next time!" The cannon-fodder was a bit reluctant, but he eventually admitted his defeat.
