Friends Are Opponent

Just because of a single Actual Combat Lesson, the two names, Shinomiya Aoba and Uchiha Itachi were once again well-known. This made many people in Konoha know that there were two super geniuses among the freshmen of this year's Ninja School.

And the name "Twin Stars", which was originally only known to Aoba and Itachi, began to be secretly called by those students, but now it was also recognized by some outsiders.

Moreover, the detailed battle process of Aoba and Itachi was also placed in the Hokage's office, and even the entire higher-ups of Konoha knew that the Uchiha clan had cultivated a terrible genius youth, and that "picking up" the precious talent, Shinomiya Aoba, was back!

To be able to open Sharingan at such a young age, and even grasp a forbidden technique like Shadow Clone Technique, how terrifying was his talent!

And the other seemed to be not at all inferior. At the same age, he was already able to skillfully use his own body technique. Moreover, his talent in body technique was extremely high, as if he had created a set of his own exclusive body technique.

Although he had caused quite a bit of trouble, he was a good youth that had already passed away, personally rescued by Minato.

In the matter of Kyuubi, not only did he sacrifice himself to save Yamashita, but he also possessed the courage to attack Kyuubi!

It could be considered as indirectly saving Minato's child...

In addition, the process of integrating into the new environment was also very smooth.

Sarutobi began to look forward to the future of these two people more and more.

Even Danzo was very moved, thinking about whether he should take advantage of the fact that these two people had not graduated to take them under his command.

However, he immediately gave up because it was obvious that Sarutobi could not allow these two good seedlings to enter the 'root', especially when one of them was the child of Clan Leader Uchiha.

The last assassination failed, and the matter of touching the red line had not passed for long.

Although Sarutobi had let him go because of the old friendship, he had also taken a large part of the power in his hands, and even forcibly took the 'Mokuton Ninja' in his hands. It could be said that he had suffered heavy losses, but he had to break his teeth and swallow them down.

Therefore, during this period of time, besides the proposal of moving Uchiha's clan to the edge of the village, he had been very low-key.

—-Just like a vulture lurking in the dark, as long as the opportunity came, it could bring the aura of death at any time.

.....

At this time, Aoba, who was seizing all the time to cultivate, didn't know that he was almost targeted by Danzo.

Right now, all he could think about was how he could surpass Itachi!

Although he and Itachi were close friends, at the same time, they also tacitly regarded each other as an opponent that could improve together!

Both Aoba and Itachi were unwilling to be left behind.

Moreover, in order to fulfill their respective ideals, they had to become stronger and stronger than anyone else!

However, compared to Itachi, who had endless cultivation resources and had Shisui giving him special treatment every day, Aoba could not rely on anyone, so he could only rely on himself.

As the saying goes, If one's talent was insufficient, they would work hard to gather!

If they did not have any resources, they could only rely on their hands!

If he wanted to truly defeat Itachi, he had to pay even more sweat and blood.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and added new training to himself.

That was self-torture!

He wanted to increase the level of [Poor Quality Self Healing Body] and [Hardening] again.

There was no more cost-effective method than this!

After experiencing crazy acts such as 'bang bang tree' and 'bang rock' in every part of his body for a period of time, he still felt that this method of improvement was too slow, mainly because the efficiency was too low.

The best way was to engage in real combat, absorb experience in battle, and take a beating to improve his ability.

Aoba immediately thought of Itachi.

But on second thought, Itachi's fighting style was not suitable to help him specially train, and Itachi also had his own cultivation.

Therefore, after thinking carefully for a few days, he finally found Guy, who was walking upside down on the edge of the village, preparing to circle around the village ten times.

There was no one more suitable than Guy to fight a real man!

The only thing Aoba was worried about was that Guy did not know how to handle things properly.

However, Level 4 [Hardening] gave him a lot of confidence. He believed that as long as Guy did not open the Eight Inner Hidden Armor angrily, he should not directly kick him to death.

...…

"What's the matter, young man?"

Because he was blocked by Aoba, Guy maintained his inverted posture and revealed a bright smile as he asked loudly.

Aoba originally thought that Guy would recognize him, but when he thought of Kisame who had been forgotten by Guy several times in the original work, he didn't hold any hope, let alone when he was in the handstand state.

"Uh, can you have a physical duel with me? Someone told me that you are the most proficient in physical skills in the entire Konoha. It won't take too long for you to..."

"Oh! Ha!"

Before Aoba could finish his words, he saw a flash of light in Guy's eyes. Then, he jumped up and flipped several times in the air. Finally, he landed on one foot and looked at him with burning eyes. He said, "Young man, do you want to have a duel between men with me? I won't go easy in battle because of my age!"

For some reason, looking at Guy who was in an excited state, Aoba felt as if he had provoked some big trouble.

However, in order to be able to single-handedly defeat Itachi in the future, Aoba still gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Of course, I should go all out in a duel. I know a place where no one usually goes..."

"Then let's hurry up and leave! My hot-blooded youth is already burning up!"

'Alright, no matter which age Guy is at, he is almost always like this. It's good to get used to it.'

Aoba comforted himself in his heart and then began to lead the way.

He originally thought that Guy would not easily agree with him, but in the end, all the methods he had prepared in advance were all useless.

'Was it because after Kakashi entered Anbu, no one accompanied Guy in the showdown of hot-blooded youth?'

Aoba did not understand for a moment, but he quickly threw it to the back of his mind. In any case, as long as his goal was achieved, wouldn't it be fine? As for why Guy would agree so readily, it did not matter to him!

At this time, what Aoba who was walking in front of him did not notice was that the corners of Guy's mouth curled up in a very big arc.

"Shinomiya Aoba, who is called Konoha's Twin Stars with Uchiha Itachi... Let me experience your true strength!"

Although Guy was somewhat forgetful, he would occasionally forget the name and appearance of people he did not often meet.

However, the experience of that day left a deep impression on him. After all, he had embarrassed himself a lot.

Moreover, regardless of whether it was during Yondaime's inauguration ceremony or the Hokage Rock unveiling ceremony, he was present, and he was shocked every time!

In addition, with the recent rumors of Konoha's twin stars... How could he really not remember who the other party was!

Otherwise, how could he casually agree to such a request?
