Chapter 92: Fighting is the Shortcut to Becoming Powerful
Ding Ding Ding——
The shurikens collided in the air, making a harsh metallic sound.
The training ground in the plain had almost no shelter. Facing the pursuit of a Chunin, Uchiha Sasuke could only lower his body and nimbly dodge Mizuki's attacks while turning back from time to time to try to counterattack.
His neat and clean movements have surpassed the level of an ordinary student and he possesses the abilities of a true ninja.
When facing the Chunin, Sasuke did not launch a direct close-range attack like he did when facing Naruto.
Given the complete disparity in chakra amount and combat experience, Sasuke needs to rely on some tactics to try to win.
But his attitude made Mizuki feel even more annoyed.
Does this guy really think he can beat me? A guy who is not even a ninja actually thinks he can beat me?
Mizuki felt that he was insulted.
The smile on his face became increasingly stiff, and he could no longer bear the emotions brought about by this insult.
As his emotions were released, his movements became sharper and he held back less and less.
The result, of course, was that Uchiha Sasuke's arms and thighs had many scratches from the shuriken.
Scarlet blood flowed from the wound, but it did not affect his movements at all.
On the contrary, the pain from the wound made Uchiha Sasuke's movements more agile, and he even gradually kept up with Mizuki's attack rhythm.
There was even a smile on his face, which had been pretending to be cold. While enjoying the battle, he tried hard to feel the changes in himself.
"Fighting is indeed one of the easiest ways to grow!"
It was said to be a practical sparring course, but in fact, when Uchiha Sasuke challenged Mizuki, most people no longer had the mind to sit down and practice.
This is a challenge to the Chunin.
For students of the Ninja School, this is an extremely rare scene.
Just like a training ground after school, everyone stood far away, leaving the fighting area to the two of them, admiring this rare battle.
Watching such fights can help you gain more combat experience than sparring with people of the same level.
Ryosuke and Hinata did the same, standing in the distance and watching the battle.
Uchiha Sasuke has made obvious progress compared to his performance the last time he fought Naruto.
Not only has the chakra control been improved, but more chakra has been used effectively, reducing consumption.
He also learned some little tricks, such as condensing chakra under his feet so that he could walk on tree trunks and water surfaces.
This method of using chakra is a skill that every ninja must master. It can also be used as a means to exercise chakra control.
Normally, if there is a ninja elder in the family, students would master this skill in advance, but unfortunately, Uchiha Sasuke is now an orphan and no one can guide him in this regard.
But this did not affect him from secretly learning this during the battle with Naruto.
However, he was not very proficient in using it, and it would be difficult for him to figure it out on his own.
"Uchiha Sasuke has improved so fast! He is a completely different person from the last time I saw him."
Although the distance is a bit far, it is nothing considering the Hyuga clan's eyesight.
While admiring this battle of completely unequal strength, Hinata exclaimed and asked, "Ryosuke, do you think he can win?"
This was the first time she felt such a strong sense of frustration from someone other than Ryosuke.
Is this what is called talent?
In just one battle, Uchiha Sasuke learned so many skills from Uzumaki Naruto.
"As of right now, the gap is too big and there is absolutely no way he can win."
Ryosuke shook his head, "Unless... he can open the Sharingan."
He is no longer the armchair strategist who only knows how to talk about war. He now has a certain vision and can judge the outcome of a battle.
Sharingan, we can't help but talk about the Sharingan.
Unlike the Hyugas, who, in addition to the eye techniques brought by their blood, also have a secret technique inheritance.
The outside world's impression of Uchiha seems to be only the Sharingan.
They are proud of the Sharingan and become powerful because of the Sharingan, but at the same time, their excessive reliance on it also means that if they are unable to open these eyes, their strength will be greatly reduced.
"Although his reaction speed is very fast, but...if we can fight in close combat, I think I can win."
Hinata looked at it for a long time, and suddenly these words popped up.
Before Ryosuke could turn around to reprimand her, she quickly shrank her head again, "I mean... close combat. If he is willing to fight me in close combat, I am sure I can win the battle. I don't mean to underestimate Uchiha Sasuke."
She knew Ryosuke too well.
Sometimes, after she said something, even if Ryosuke didn't respond, she could roughly guess what he was thinking.
The frown softened, and Ryosuke was relieved, "Very good, remember this, don't underestimate any opponent, including those who are inferior to you in various abilities."
"When you become a true ninja, I hope you will not hold back when facing any enemy. Even if you really cannot kill them directly, you must destroy their limbs and meridians. Make sure they are absolutely safe before you talk about other things."
A villain dies because he talks too much.
Ryosuke didn't say the last sentence, because how could such a well-behaved Hinata be a villain?
"Hey…"
Hearing his praise, Hinata smiled shyly at first, then continued, "Actually, I really want to graduate soon, and then go on a mission with you to see the outside world."
"Staying in the village every day makes me feel less like the future head of a ninja family and more like a noble lady."
Perhaps every battle with Ryosuke made Hinata feel the gap between them, and her vision was broadened again and again.
At school, the minor fights gradually became unacceptable to her.
Although it took her a month of hard work to defeat Kiba Inuzuka, and she still does not have the strength to be the best in the grade, nor the strength to defeat everyone in the grade, she already has the vision to look down on everything.
Hinata also understands that having vision that exceeds one's ability is an undesirable idea, but it is this vision that makes her eager to graduate.
She had been trying to catch up with Ryosuke, but could only see his back getting farther and farther away.
This feeling made her feel powerless.
"Come on, you still have a long way to go if you want to become a qualified head of a family." Ryosuke chuckled and reached out to hold her hand, while looking into the distance with a complicated look.
Next year…they'll be eight years old.
And this also means that Hanabi will be four years old.
