53 Itachi vs Zephyr...
Chapter 53 (BONUS CHAPTER)
Title: Itachi vs Zephyr...
…..
One month has passed since Itachi joined the marines. Currently, he is in a green forest and looks at his teacher Zephyr, who is standing opposite of him and asks. "You ready Itachi?"
Itachi nods at this and confirms. "Yes, teacher Zephyr."
Fwosh!
As soon as he says that Zephyr disappears from his place and his mechanical arm darkens, though Itachi's eyes can't follow him. Itachi jumps back and does a flip and lands in a one-handed handstand. His feet then move like snakes.
<Rankyaku Ran> (Storm Leg Riot)
In a split second over thirty Rankyaku slashes were made by his legs and are sent at where Zephyr is as he intended to hit Itachi.
Zephyr has to use <Tekkai> (Iron Body) to stop the wind blades from injuring him. He immediately disappears along with the barrage and appears in front of Itachi.
Itachi can't dodge as Zephyr's metallic fist hits him in the stomach. It easily breaks Itachi's <Tekkai> and he coughs a little blood.
Baam!
His body crashes into a tree. Zephyr doesn't give Itachi any time as he appears above his body and hits him in the stomach with a straight punch again.
Itachi's eyes widen as the fist hits him. Zephyr is (almost) not holding back, well he is not holding back his speed at least. His strength on the other hand… well he doesn't want to kill Itachi so he is holding back.
Itachi immediately releases some clones from his body and they go to hold back Zephyr. Now that he is fighting against cones, Zephyr doesn't hold back his strength against them.
Pow!
His fist is like an afterimage as it obliterates the clone's heads in one hit. Itachi winces slightly at this, but the clones still bought him enough time for him to get up. Immediately Itachi can see that Zephyr is charging straight at him.
<Seimei Kikan: Kami-E>
Itachi's body gets thinner and he disappears from his place too. At this time Ain is looking at her teacher and Itachi sparring against each other and she can't follow their movements at all even as she tries her best.
'Fast… they are too fast.' Think Ain with her eyes widened in shock. In only one month Itachi has advanced so much. He learned the six powers so quickly and can already use them so effectively as a fish can swim. If she didn't know any better she would think that he has grown up observing Cipher Pol agents that use these powers.
At this time she can see Zephyr punch Itachi in the head, Itachi back and he hits a tree headfirst. But immediately he gets up again and is full of vigor as he charges at Zephyr once again, even as blood flows out of his head.
Zephyr has a smile on his face and punches at this and he punches at Itachi again.
'This kid is something else.' Thinks Zephyr, full of pride in his heart. A childlike Itachi in his eyes is someone who only appears once a generation in the marines. Itachi this month has worked way harder than most marines work in their lives.
Though Zephyr thinks that, he still charges at Itachi and this time Itachi looks at him with a ferocious look on his eyes. Instead of blocking Zephyr's punch, he counters his own.
Baam!
Their fists clash, and for a split second Zephyr's eyes widen a little, he can feel his Armament Haki clash against Itachi's. 'This brat just used Armament Haki.'
Fwosh!
Baam!
Still, Itachi flies backward and his body bounces off the ground twice before crashing on a tree. Again, he gets up and charges at Zephyr again, he didn't lie down at all to rest or anything like that.
Zephyr's smile widens even more as even he can't help but admire Itachi's tendency to never give up.
'The kid should be at his limits.' Thinks Zephyr and he appears behind Itachi and punches towards his skull. But contrary to his expectations Itachi's head turned around and as Zephyr's fist hits Itachi's skull, at the same time the old man too can feel Itachi's fist sink into his stomach.
*Bleugh*
Zephyr spits a fist full of blood from his mouth. Itachi is already using armament Haki, though his Haki hasn't darkened yet, his hits still have a higher attack power than normal.
Suddenly out of Itachi's back a clone, but it is only the upper body of the clone as it is still attached to Itachi.
The clone punches Zephyr in the face countless times. The old admiral has a smile on his face, even as it is bloodied.
But at the same time, Itachi's fighting performance was stellar in Zephyr's eyes. But Itachi wasn't satisfied at all with himself. He has already sent back the feed to his family on how to learn the six powers and Seimei Kikan (Life Return). His father and some of his siblings already beyond mastered it. He also for the first time saw his father's natural talent, and he understood that no matter how amazing his siblings were. His dad learned Life Return in only under a week and could change between thin form for speed and bulk form for more power in under a second. His father at this stage in his life got stronger once again.
'I must be better to even be able to protect my family. At this rate, I will be the one needed to be protected by them.' Thinks Itachi, his adrenaline rising so high that he was running all in adrenaline and willpower.
Zephyr used his mechanical arm to hit Itachi in the stomach. But Itachi uses Tekkai and jumps back at the same time, completely nullifying the power of the punch. At the same time, he digs his feet on the ground to stop himself from flying away as Zephyr increases the power that he uses against Itachi.
Zephyr takes the initiative this time and his fleshy arm turns blurry as Itachi can feel exactly fifty-eight punches hit him in a split second. Still, Itachi doesn't buckle under the attack as he uses Tekkai and Life Return to bulk up his body into that of a muscular adult.
At this time Itachi walks forward but he feels the world turn and falls on the ground.
Baam!
He falls on the ground. Zephyr looks at Itachi and sighs. "Seems like you went beyond your limits once again and your muscles shut down once again."
Zephyr noticed something strange about Itachi, the kid can easily go beyond his limits which allows him to fight even after his body suffers extreme fatigue and pain. His body also heals all of the damage it sustains by the next day, in one month Itachi had raised his Doriki by 110, making it at an overall 910 now. That is increasing his Doriki by 3.6 every day, that is a crazy number, especially for Itachi who is a twelve-year-old… though he doesn't look his age at all.
…
At the same time, in an undisclosed location on the New World. Jaw is reading a newspaper as his body goes through the bulk and lean stages in seconds, he even goes to bulk just his arm to a muscular level.
'Hmmm… I think I mastered Life Return.' Contemplates Jaw, as his body still keeps changing through different muscular systems. He trains for around eighteen hours a day ever since Itachi told him about the way the marines trained their six powers.
'My power has once again. I have become stronger once again.' Jaw has a smile on his face as he contemplated this.
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
I will start moving the story along now. Also Itachi's power is growing too. Also Zephyr is holding back in this fight and Itachi is not near his level or anything like that.
P.S: When this story reaches 3000 Power Stones, it will get +1 Bonus Chapter that day.
