Chapter four

"Uchiha Shisui nice to meet you"

Ryu looked at the person that Itachi came with, it was Shisui of the body flicker. He was the genius of the clan earning his reputation for his use of the body flicker technique.

"nice to meet you too I'm Uchiha Ryu" I replied"

"so your the boy Itachi has been talking about. He said you were another genius so I came to see what it all about."

'oh he really said that about me' Ryu was a little shocked to hear that. one most know that even with the fact that that Ryu have more chakra than him, Itachi could still keep up with him. He was a real monster.

"No I'm really not that much of a genius compared to you" Ryu said as he doesn't let the fact that he has some strength makes him invisible.

"Hoo!! so you who I am"

"of course I know ,who in the clan doesn't know of Shisui of the body flicker."

he smiled and said

"Me and Itachi where going to train. so I thought you might want to join us" Shisui asked

"sure I will like that" Ryu agreed as he has always wanted to see how strong he is compared to a person like him

so they went to one of the abandoned training ground

"so you want to have a spar with me.?" Shisui asked

"yes I have always want to see how strong you are compared to others" Ryu answers

Itachi just looked at him not saying anything.

"okay let's see how strong you are"

saying that, we moved to the middle of the training ground

Ryu took his stance while looking while taking out a short blade. Although he plans to use his ZANPAKTO in future he won't be able to use a blade the same size as it with his current size so a short blade was the best alternative before he grow up.

He dashed towards him and we engaged in a battle of Taijutsu. he was a bit shocked by my skill but he was able to block the easily.

He still lacked experience in real battle

They continued for around two minutes seeing Ryu couldn't land a hit on him I jumped back and threw shurikens at him.

he took out his kunai blocked them.

as he blocked them Ryu quickly made hand signs and took in a deep breath.

{fire style: great fire ball Jutsu}

He shoot out a fire ball that was five meters wide. the fire ball went towards him but he used substitution technique to avoid it.

He quickly scanned the area he felt Shisui at his side slashing at him using a kunai Ryu quickly used and blocked it I could feel my hand go numb from the impact

"you actually blocked it you have very good reaction" He said as continued to attack me.

He was forced into defense he could barely react. He jumped away from him to catch his breath. Ryu looked at Shisui only to see he was standing there looking at him with a care free smile without even breaking a sweat.

He understood that Shisui wasn't using his full strength to fight. seeing the gap between them. Ryu decided to use the breathing technique.

Taking in large amount of air into his lungs he could feel them expand to the limit oxygen pumping into his blood. He could feel his muscles becoming stronger his sight became clear.

'I can only use it for a minute' thinking about it he moved toward Shisui

Although he couldn't is the sword art he can use it to strengthen he body for a short period of time.

Shisui was shocked by Ryu sudden increase in speed but he was still able to block the attack. Though his expression changed when he felt the strength of the attack.

Seeing it was blocked Ryu quickly spun and delivered a kicked but it was still block. Ryu rushed at Shisui raining a barrage of punches at him Shisui continued to block them and he was taking him a bit more serious now.

He suddenly disappear from Ryu's sight but Ryu could feel him moving toward his back. turning around to attack but Ryu felt the whole place distorted. Before could understand what he felt a kunai near his neck.

"it seem that you lost " He turned to see Shisui next to me

He sighed 'I expect that I couldn't win but I couldn't even land a hit on him'

"No need to feel down you can easily fight on par with a genin." He said trying to comfort him

'well guess I really have a long way to go' Ryu thought.

"you okay "Itachi said as he came down from the tree.

"yeah just need a little rest" he said while walking over to the shade.

"so how was he?" Itachi asked

"he strong has very good foundation also strong body for his age" Shisui answered" if he is giving enough time his surely surpass me"

Itachi was a little bit shocked it was rare for Shisui to compliment other and so highly at that.

He looked over to his cousin resting under the shade.
