Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Beating up a cousin

Training field number 35

Akashi looks at the kid facing him

'Ikaku huh, same name as this guy of bleach,' Akashi thought with a smile

"So, Akaku San, you don't seem to like me much. I don't think I know you," Akashi said, tilting his head in contemplation. "Do you not like having the noble blood of the Uchiha diluted, or is there something else?"

"Why? You ask me why?" Ikaku shouted,

"You, not only are you not a full Uchiha, you aren't a ninja, you don't even live in Konoha, and now you just appeared like that, and you want to be the leader of our faction. Never." He spat, all the ninjas present, hiding in the tree from the civilian background or from ninja clans, could feel Ikaku's

While some nodded in understanding, others, like a few youths of the Shimura, Senju, and others, were just happy to see Uchiha fight each other.

"Faction?" Akashi frowned, a questioning look on his face. "I have no idea what you are talking about," he responded honestly.

Instead of calming him, Akashi's answer angered Ikaku even further

With a flick of the hands, shurikens appeared between his fingers.

"Go fuck yourself,"

Whoosh

Ikaku jumped in the air and activated his Sharingan as he drew a graceful arc.

Whoosh

At the same time, he threw the shurikens at Akashi.

"Impressive," Akashi said, looking at the shurikens surrounding him with his sharingan

The Uchiha shurikens jitsu is as beautiful as it was deadly.

Clank clank clank

A series of collisions sounded, and all the shurikens changed trajectory midair.

"It would be dangerous even for a chunin," Akashi said, from his long sleeves, multiple shurikens appeared before he threw them in the air in a fluid move.

The training field was once again filled with the sound of clashing weapons as all the shurikens were deflected.

"This level of shuriken jutsu had no chance against another Uchiha proficient in them." A seasoned ninja said to his partner, observing the confrontation

"It is why he used it as a distraction," was the response

Under the eyes of everyone, Ikaku finished his hand seals

"Fire style: great fireball jutsu,"

A massive ball of fire rushed toward Akashi.

'Not bad,' Akashi thought, flickering backwards to give himself more time.

His hands moved at a growing speed, and as his feet touched the ground, he unleashed his own jutsu.

"Fire style: great fireball jutsu,"

Under the eyes of the crowd, he spat a massive fireball more than ten times that of a normal one.

"What the fuck is that?!" All the ninjas present looked at that fireball with awe

Without suspense, Ikaku's attack was swallowed by Akashi's fireball

"Damnit," Ikaru thought

Boooom

A massive explosion sounded in the training field, destroying about a quarter of it

Hot wind, debris, dust, and smoke filled the space.

The explosion blew some of the trees some of them nearly fell, and even the ninjas standing in them had to be careful not to be blown away.

"Is that the power that a kid should possess?" Jiraya stood seated on a tree with his two companies standing beside him

"Well, with the crazy amount of chakra that Uzumaki possesses, it's not that crazy," Tsunade replied

"Too great an amount of chakra can be disadvantagious you know that. He also has great control of his chakra," Orochimaru countered

"Hum~"

Below, using the smoke as cover, Akashi used the body flicker to appear in front of Ikaru.

"Got you," Akashi said, swinging a Kunai down

But before it, he could celebrate

Clank

Ikaku stopped the Kunai heading toward his chest with his own Kunai

"Don't underestimate the Uchiha, you ponpus bastard," Ikaru said, using all his strength to push Akashi away

Looking at the glowing sharingan Akashi realized

'He uses his eyes to predict the direction of my attack. Two tomoe! Looking at his form, he must be thirteen. He is very talented, a genius of the Uchiha clan, I suppose,'

'His strength is not bad, should I... guide him?' Akashi thought, looking at Ikaru who was using all his strength to push his Kunai away from him

The difference of strength here was on full displayed Ikaku was using all. His strength while Akashi still had some strength to spare.

'Too strong, how can a kid have this much strength?' Ikaru thought, feeling the strength of Akashi

'Sharingan demonic illusion,'

Ikaku muttered in his heart as their eyes met.

A smile spread on Ikaku's lips as he felt his chakra infiltrate Akashi's pathway. He just needed one second, and he would.

Unfortunately

Bam

A kick sends him away, luckily, with his sharingan he manages to see the attack lessen the bloaw

But Akashi's kicks still send him skidding away.

"Your sharingan is good, but mine is better," Akashi said, pointing at his own two tomoe sharingan.

He had such a great mastery of his eyes that he could show the number ofbtomoe he wanted, and in order keep his cards hidden he never revealed his true strength. Particularly when he was observed by a potential enemy.

Until now, Ikaku, even though he is among the best of his generation, was countered at every turn by Akashi, but instead of being discouraged, his pride was forcing to continue the fight.

"You will not win,"

Under the eyes of everyone, he took out the tanto that he had on him that had remained in its sheath until now

"I have to admit, Uchiha are very talented," a white-haired man looked at the fight with appreciation

Whoosh

In an instant, Ikaku reappeared beside Akashi, slashing his vitals.

The Uchiha swordsmanship relying on the sharingan was fast, elegant, and yet extremely deadly.

With that technique that had been refined through thousands of years of killing and the sharingan, the Uchiha were a deadly force.

Unfortunately in front of Akashi the Uchiha swordsmanship was useless, not because Ikaku was weak but because not matter how much effort he put in his strike he was unable to touch him.

The sword draw beautiful arc as it cut through the wind and fell on Akashi.

Clank

Unfortunately, Akashi deflected it with relative ease.

Not only Akashi had also master the Uchiha swordsmanship, his Sharingan was more advanced than Ikaku's, and to that we must also had the mind eyes of the Uzumaki.

Under everyone's eyes, hundreds of beautifully executed sword slashes cut through the wind, but all of them were avoided or deflected with ease.

No attract could reach the hem of Akashi's kimono

"You- why can't I touch you? How dare you make fun of me? Stop running away and fight me properly, you coward,"

Ikaku Seether, with rage, he had never felt as powerless as now. No matter what he was doing, he couldn't inflict the slightest injury to Akashi.

It was like he was fighting smoke,

"It seems that my understanding of the Uchiha swordsmanship is higher than yours. You can't win, you should surrender,"

"Never! I will not lose against you, you aren't a Uchiha," Ikaru raged before throwing the Kunai to Akashi, before following with shurikens.

"Multi shadow shurikens jitsu,"

Anger flashed through Akashi's eyes as he heard Ikaru's words

'How infuriating,' he thought, hearing the insults while looking at the weapons clashing and changing direction as they came at him from all sides.

"The sharingan is such a cheat."

Under everyone's gaze, using the body flicker, Akashi weaved between the shurikens.

He did not move exceptionally fast; even some genin could see him move, and yet, using it, he easily avoided every attack.

But Ikaku was clearly not ready to surrender.

Taking a huge breath, he shouted

"Fire style: Phoenix fire flame,"

Another volley of flame converged toward Akashi from all sides.

"Let's end this farce."

As he said, he moved at a speed incomparable to before.

Before the fireball even reached him, Akashi reappeared in front of Ikaku, his finger placed on his chest.

"You are talented, but I really do have an unfair advantage."

One-inch punch

Akashi's fist slammed into Ikaku's chest, sending him flying into the hands of his friends.

All his Uchiha comrades quickly converged around Ikaku.

"You- how are you so strong?!" They asked, placing themselves in front of Ikaku to protect him from Akashi.

"Stop looking at me like I am some great villain. It was just a duel. I didn't even know what ninjas also used duel,"

Looking at Ilaku on the ground, protected by his friends, Akashi smiled a little. He didn't have any great particular feeling for the Uchiha as a whole, particularly since they are indeed quite arrogant and hard to get along with, but he had to admit they were a tight-knit group, and he respected that.

'Maybe I should listen to the old man and try to integrate; it will facilitate my future plans,' Akashi thought as he walked away.

From the beginning to the end of the fight, even his clothes remained intact

"What a fucking Monster," Jiraya mumbled looking at Akashi walking away
