6 Sparring...

Next four months, Sora quickly adapted to the routine of going to the academy, practicing, and going to Ichiraku ramen for work.

During this time, He also often crossed paths with a certain Might guy who also trains like crazy. Both of them focused on taijutsu so the two quickly became training partners. Especially Sora still knows that Guy will be one of the strongest taijutsu users, nearing killing Madara Uchiha himself when he opened the last gate.

So, Sora and Might Guy often exchanged moves with each other during their spars. During this period, Sora also rapidly integrated the moves of Might Guy into his arsenal and his combat experience improved rapidly.

Sora's taijutsu was at first inclined to a burst of speed but after sparing with Guy and learning to adapt to the harsh training that Guy tortured himself to, Sora's Taijutsu also had a breakthrough. Sora with his nigh perfect chakra control learned to rapidly coat his leg with a large amount of chakra and release it in an instant to develop his version of the flash step.

Flash step with its momentary burst of instantaneous speed and Sora's eye of death's one-hit k.o ability matched very well. Sora could kill an elite genin or low-level chunin in a frontal attack with this technique. Similarly, using a sneak attack with the eye of death and flash step can even kill a jonin.

Sora also trained his 3 basic Jutsu so that he can use them with two knots or less depending on the situation. Sora also tried to practice Rasengan but the amount of chakra in his body could not support the training.

After a while of training, Sora realized that Naruto can spam Rasengan because he is an Uzumaki and a Jinchuriki. Rasengan is a genuine A-rank technique and even a jonin can only use it sparingly. So, Sora decided to wait for his chakra amount to grow before again trying to replicate Rasengan.

(In the Ninja Academy)

"Today we are going to have our first sparing lesson so I hope everyone is ready. For today's sparing class even lord third is going to be present so, I hope all of you do your best" informed a black-haired chunin to the class.

Everyone in the class went into an uproar and started discussing with each other.

In the last row, Sora can be seen sitting with Guy.

"Sora, are you ready my friend. Let's do our best and show others the power of youth" said Guy while giving a thumbs up and smiling wearing his green jumpsuit.

" Ugh. Guy can you quite down a bit." said a white haired boy with his face cover with a mask sitting behind them.

" Kakashi my rival, today is the day I defeat you and show you the power of youth." Said Guy with burning eyes looking at his self proclaimed rival.

"let's see" said Kakashi with a cool face.

While Guy and Kakashi were talking, the teacher told everyone to go to the ground. Everyone hurriedly went to the sparring ground.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the first actual combat training class of ninja school, not only students but some parents were also looking forward to it. But parents were not allowed to go to the ground obviously with the exception of lord third, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didnot only come to look at the students and make them feel his care, he was also interested in his own son's results.

So, Sarutobi gave a nod to the instructor. The instructor quickly started the first practical lessons of this year.

Soon, various names where being called and students started to fight with each other in the ring. At first civilian students were called and matched up and soon others were also called.

Soon, the turn of kakashi came who quickly defeated his opponent, Obito Uchiha. Similarly, Guy also defeated his opponent with taijutsu.

Looking at the students fighting, Sarutobi said," It's a good batch. They are all the future of konoha."

The chunin in the side quickly agreed and flattered," Yes, this batch is quite good, Asuma, Kakashi, kurenai Yuhi, Hayate all are excellent."

Listening to his son's name, Sarutobi felt quite comfortable and gave a short laugh and focused on the next match.

"Now, next Asuma Sarutobi versus Murasaki Sora" said the instructor.

Soon, Both Asuma and Sora came to the sparring ring. Asuma looked at Sora, he only knew that Sora was a civilian and was quite smug about the battle. He fantasied about winning fantastically in front of his father.

Quickly, both made the seal and Asuma quickly charged towards Sora with a fist. Sora glanced at Asuma and intercepted it with his elbow.

Asuma in response gave a flurry of kick and punches while Sora calmly blocked the attack.

Looking at the spar the chunin quickly said to lord third," Asuma is quite good talented. He is quite good in taijutsu. He looks like he is about to win."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looking at the sparing ring said "No, in this way Asuma will only quickly tire himself out. The boy next to Asuma is only using minimum amount of effort to block each time."

At the same time, Asuma infuriated that all his attack was blocked smoothly took out a wooden kunai and slashed towards Sora. The kunai seemed to hit Sora but quickly a piece of log appeared instead of Sora. At that time, Sora was already behind Asuma with his hand against Asuma's neck.

" I declare that Sora wins." The instructor quickly announced looking at the white haired boy.
