BXBX NOVEL Chapter 595
Chapter 595: It’s Weird…
“Pay attention to the minute movements of my muscle with your Sharingan… using this you will be able to predict my next actions…”
“Idiot… Why would you even use Fire Style Jutsu in this situation? It’s purely a waste of Charka Reserves, Chakra Reserves are the most important thing for a Shinobi…!”
“Always keep one very important thing in your mind kid… the release of any ninjutsu must be done only when the situation requires, and it must always be used along with corresponding tactics… If you haven’t formulated corresponding tactics that you plan to use after the Jutsu is released, then all you are doing is exposing your own flaws to the enemy, and wasting your chakra for nothing…!”
On the training ground, Shinichi sternly guided Sasuke while casually parrying his offensive, and strangely enough, Sasuke didn’t argue at all, he took all of Shinichi’s words into serious consideration, and tried to implement them into his tactics… Even if Sasuke was very tired and sweaty, even if he had several injuries and bruises all over his body, there was no sign of complaint or dissatisfaction on his face… in fact, he seemed genuinely happy at this moment…
Since Shinichi actually started to train him, Sasuke has finally understood that all his previous combat training with his Nii-san and Shisui-san in Konoha were really just trivial Shinobi games, and neither of the two were being serious for even a second, because if they were serious, then Sasuke wouldn’t even be able to stand against them even for a second.
Although Sasuke can somewhat understand their reasoning, knowing that they were just playing, and he believed that they were doing serious combat training, made Sasuke flushed in embarrassment.
Sasuke can’t even remember how many times he has boasted about his actual combat training session to Naruto, and also to Neji, and how well he fought against his nii-san and Shisui-san… But now that he understood that his Nii-san Itachi and Shisui-san didn’t even take him seriously, made him feel a bit unhappy…
‘Humph… Nii-san and Shisui-san always treat me like a child, when I return home, I will make them take me seriously!’ As soon as this thought emerged in his mind, Sasuke gritted his teeth and increased his offensive speed.
He wanted to prove to his Nii-san Itachi, and Shisui that he was no longer just a child, but has grown into a true Shinobi!
…
On the Side
Neji looked at Sasuke training under Uchiha Shinichi’s guidance with a somewhat complicated expression.
Neji didn’t know whether Sasuke himself is extremely talented, or Shinichi Uchiha Shinichi’s training is just that effective, but Neji could see the speed with which Sasuke progressed, and it made even him feel amazing.
If it was before and Neji and Sasuke fought, then it would either result in a draw or Neji’s win, Sasuke would hardly ever manage to gain the upper hand, after all, the combination of Byakugan with Gentle Fist Taijutsu Style is extremely deadly at the stage of Genin and Chunin, and Sasuke’s body just couldn’t keep up with Neji’s speed.
But in the past two weeks, since Sasuke started to train under Uchiha Shinichi, the duels between him and Neji are no longer so one-sided… now Sasuke manages to fight equally, and sometimes even manages to come out on top…
This has made Neji feel a certain sense of crisis… because at this rate, it won’t be very long when Sasuke will be able to completely overtake him!
Back when he was in the village, Neji was always told by his father and several other clansmen that his talent is not inferior to anyone, and perhaps he is the most talented Hyuga to have been born as of yet. The only thing that restrained him and his fate of becoming a great Shinobi are the Cage Bird Curse Juinjutsu on his forehead that made him a member of the branch family of the Hyuga Clan who only lives in order to protect the members of the main family of the Hyuga Clan.
Although Neji didn’t realize what this meant until a few months ago, regardless, he was still willing to work hard and become a Shinobi like his Sensei, who despite being a member of the branch family, became a great Shinobi.
But after he was taken away by the Akatsuki, and after he witnessed Sasuke’s rapid growth in front of him, Neji began to doubt whether this is truly possible or not.
‘Can I really become like Sensei?’
Neji’s complex state of mind was not known by anyone as others present in the room were still focused on Sasuke…
The masked Obito who was also watching the training from the sidelines was surprised at Sasuke’s growth.
He is obviously aware of the fact that Sasuke managed to awaken his Sharingan at quite an early age, but back when he heard it, he didn’t really care too much about it… after all, currently, there is no shortage of even the Mangekyou Sharingan awakeners, let alone a kid who has awakened Sharingan at an early age… just being a genius doesn’t deserve his attention…
What’s more, even if Sasuke had the potential to perhaps awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, Obito didn’t care about him that much because it would take at least six to seven years for that to happen, and by then the Project Tsuki no Me will more than likely be completed, so initially Obito didn’t have all that interest in Sasuke.
But after witnessing Sasuke’s rapid growth in the past two weeks in Shinichi’s training, Obito suddenly felt that perhaps this child is indeed worth training… if anything, he can be used to control the Uchiha Clan inside Konoha… If Uchiha Clan can be controlled, then perhaps Uchiha Shisui who deeply cares about the Clan and the village can also be controlled and having Uchiha Shisui with them as an ally would be very helpful in fighting against the Amatsukami Organization.
While Obito was brewing a nasty plan, Shinichi on the training field pushed back Sasuke, and then said lightly, “Alright… that’s enough for today… let’s stop here. Now take a rest, and reflect on every mistake that you made today, to make sure that you don’t repeat them…”
“I understand…” Sasuke nodded, then said, “Thank you Shinichi…”
Sasuke’s tone was very sincere when he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Shinichi… No one is clearer of his improvements and growth in the past two weeks… and because he understands this, Sasuke has also come to believe that Uchiha Shinichi who is also a Mangekyou Sharingan awakener is perhaps the best teacher for him…
Uchiha Shinichi is at least much more suitable for training him compared to his Nii-san Itachi and Shisui-san because all they do is spoil him… while Shinichi on the other hand is extremely harsh and trains him seriously… Shinichi also has no qualms in ruthlessly beating him while training and this fact only stimulates Sasuke to do better…
Realizing this, Sasuke couldn’t help but think suddenly thought about this to himself with a strange expression, ‘It’s weird… why would I like harsh training, scolding, and ruthless beating? It’s weird… am I sick or something?’
