The two sides faced each other, neither making the first move.
Suddenly, Uchiha Ryufeng struck. With a flick of his left hand, three Shuriken attacked in a triangular formation, then he followed, pushing forward.
Ren narrowed his eyes, then flicked out two Shuriken he had been holding, ready to throw. They collided and both fell to the ground. Another Kunai cut through the air, flying towards him with a whistling sound.
Ren rolled on the ground and lay down. The Shuriken flew over his head and embedded itself into the large tree behind him, making a "thunk" sound. The blade sank three inches into the wood.
By this time, Uchiha Ryufeng had already closed in. His right hand swept across his waist, pulling out a Kunai and thrusting it at Ren on the ground.
The latter also drew a Kunai to block, and in an instant, sparks flew. The two began to grapple.
Just then, Ren suddenly withdrew his strength. Ren's movement caused Uchiha Ryufeng to lose his balance. The latter seized the opportunity and swept his leg directly at Liu Feng's lower body.
In an unguarded moment, the situation was reversed. Uchiha Ryufeng's face was filled with shock, and in his daze, he had already been swept to the ground. A Kunai was pressed against his neck.
"Do you submit?"
"No." After regaining his composure, Uchiha Ryufeng's face was full of defiance.
"I lost this time, but next time, I will be the one to win."
After standing up, Uchiha Ryufeng brushed the dust off his clothes, striking a proud pose with his arms crossed. His demeanour was as if he were the one who had won.
...
Although Ren had anticipated it, he couldn't help but inwardly complain about how the entire Uchiha clan managed to be so uniformly tsundere. (´･_･`)
He picked up the dusty Kunai and Shuriken from the ground, tucked them into his Ninja pouch at his waist, and walked out of the forest.
"Hey, what's your name?" Uchiha Ryufeng stopped and looked at him as they passed each other.
"Me? Hoshimi Ren."
Ren said with a smile.
"I am Uchiha Ryufeng. Remember this, next time I will not lose again!"
After saying that, he left with the posture of a victor.
Looking at Uchiha Ryufeng's retreating figure, Ren rubbed his nose. He ady knew that morning, why did he have to say it again? Never mind, time to continue training.
Returning to the base of the tree, he picked up the scroll and continued to study.
Wind Release: Wind Cutter is an offensive Wind Release Ninjutsu. Its characteristic is to transform wind into a sharp blade, physically cutting the enemy in an instant, and it is difficult to defend against.
Tiger - Rabbit - Dog - Ram - Dragon
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"
Wind Release Chakra flowed through his meridians following the hand seals, finally converging. As the Chakra erupted, it swept outwards.
"Crack!"
Several meters away, a pine tree with a trunk the size of a bowl snapped in response.
Ren, on the other hand, sat down, leaning against the tree, feeling exhausted. His body was empty; a single C-rank Ninjutsu had completely drained his meagre Chakra.
His Chakra is still too low. For now, it can only be used as a decisive move.
He also needs to speed up his hand seals; enemies won't wait for him to finish. Shadow Clone consumes too much, and his body can't handle the burden right now. He should first learn and master these three Ninjutsu before considering anything else.
He should also quickly find a backer, otherwise, he will be among the first wave of cannon fodder sent to the battlefield.
Before he has the power to protect himself, he must develop cautiously, survive discreetly. What if Danzo discovers him and takes him to Root to be transformed into a ruthless killing machine? Who would he complain to?
Ren ate the rice balls he had prepared earlier, juggling a Kunai, contemplating how to become stronger while also finding a powerful patron.
He quickly finished the rice balls in two bites and continued training.
First, he needed to recover his Chakra. Half an hour later, feeling the abundant Chakra filling his body, Ren finally felt his strength return.
He exhaled a long breath. Carrying weights, he began to run laps around the clearing. The body is the foundation of everything; only with a strong body can one extract more physical energy from cells. As for spiritual energy, the spiritual energy from his two lives accumulated and was constantly increasing, almost comparable to the spiritual strength of the Uchiha.
After finishing his run, Ren, breathing heavily, leaned on his knees. After a brief adjustment, he began push-ups, followed by leg kicks and punches.
His physical strength slowly increased with the sweat he shed.
When you can't jump from the first floor to the third floor, don't forget to take the stairs. Remember that great success is often not achieved overnight.
By the time he finished, the sun had set, and Ren, unable to endure any longer, collapsed in the centre of the clearing. His chest rose and fell dramatically, and his clothes, soaked with sweat, clung tightly to his body.
His fists were covered in bloodstains.
After resting for a few minutes, Ren, still not fully recovered, got up and grabbed his backpack. It was time to go home.
Rushing home, Ren put down his backpack and found the medical kit his mother had left. In his memories, his mother was a Medical Ninja. After experiencing the Second Ninja World War, she was transferred to Konoha Hospital as a director.
During a last-minute S-rank mission, she was selected to execute it as part of a temporary four-Ninja squad led by Konoha White Fang, consisting of one Kage-level Ninja, two Jonin, and one Medical Ninja. Who knew fate would play such a trick? After completing the mission, the squad encountered an elite unit led by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Fukai, who had pursued them to the border of the Land of Lightning, on their way back.
After a fierce battle, everyone except Konoha White Fang was killed. Kumogakure also suffered greatly; more than half of their elite unit, excluding the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, were killed or injured under Konoha White Fang's rage. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki also returned severely wounded. This battle once again proved Konoha White Fang's strength to the Ninja World.
At that time, there was an unwritten rule in the Ninja World that if you encountered Konoha White Fang during a mission, you could abandon it, which showed its deterrent power.
Sigh, Ren's eyes dimmed. After inheriting the memories, he also felt the pain of his parents' passing.
His thoughts returned. He opened the medical kit, took out medical alcohol, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic medicine, and a roll of medical bandages.
Ren, who had never done this before, grimaced in pain the entire time. Indeed, this work required a professional touch; he was still too amateur.
After bandaging himself, Ren brewed a cup of hot tea. Holding the teacup, he walked steadily to a tree branch, sat on it, and looked out at the flourishing Konoha.
Just then, two green figures flashed past outside Ren's courtyard, disappearing in an instant.
"Hmm?"
Ren was startled. What was that that just passed by? He put down his hot tea, stood on the highest branch, and looked forward.
"Oh, it's them."
Ren suddenly understood: watermelon-shaped hair, thick eyebrows, green jumpsuits, one large and one small. Who else could it be but Might Dai and Might Guy, the father and son?
These two father and son could be considered the pinnacle of Taijutsu in the Ninja World. The father's peak battle kicked the Hidden Mist's famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into "The Three Lucky Stars." The son was even more formidable.
A Peacock in the morning, a Tiger at noon, an Evening Elephant emerges, and Night Guy dances.
The man who reached the pinnacle of the Ninja World with Taijutsu, burning his youth with his life, fought against Six Paths Madara, even briefly suppressing Madara. He was acknowledged by Madara.
His eyes flickered. Now was the time for him to build his foundation. Wouldn't it be perfect to train his Taijutsu and build a solid foundation with this father-son duo?
Excellent, excellent!
