Chapter 30 - Start Of Third Test
Akihiko and Izumi played around and had fun running and chasing around in the flower field for around an hour.
As they got tired, Akihiko decided to take Izumi back to Suna.
Before Akihiko went back to Suna, he thanked the animals for their help, to which they responded with happy noises.
*Insert Happy Animal Noises*
-----
Akihiko used Hiraishin to teleport him and Izumi back to Sunagakure. In Suna, Akihiko and Izumi ate the lunch that Akihiko made as it was time for lunch.
"Is it good?" Akihiko asked Izumi as she started to eat.
"Mhmm, it's delicious." Izumi said as she gave Akihiko a thumbs up.
"Alright, then eat more." Akihiko said as he gave Izumi part of his portion to which Izumi happily took it.
After they finished eating lunch, they just wandered around the streets. While they were wandering around, they met Kurenai.
"Akihiko, Izumi, where did both of you go?" Kurenai asked as she couldn't find them anywhere in Suna.
"Oh, we went on a date." Akihiko just replied while Izumi blushed slightly.
"A date?" Kurenai asked.
"Y-Yes, Akihiko confessed to me yesterday, so we decided to go on a date today." Izumi answered.
"Oh, I see. Congratulations." Kurenai answered feeling a teeny tiny bit of disappointment but also happiness for her student.
After that, everything went well and they decided to spar against each other to improve their strength although Akihiko only used taijutsu.
-----
[A week later]
Loud gasps, shouts and grunts could be heard in a training field.
"Faster, faster!!!"
"Haa, Haa"
"Be prepared, I'm coming!!!"
"AHHH!"
*Thud* *Thud*
This was Akihiko sparring against Izumi and Kagami to improve their taijutsu skills. He also taught them about kenjutsu a bit. Yes, they are not doing anything suspicious. Although some people who heard it from the outside, misunderstood and ran away while blushing.
"Good, you guys improved." Akihiko said as he helped both of them up.
"But you didn't even break a sweat." Kagami said as he grumbled.
"Haha, you need to be a lot stronger to make me sweat." Akihiko said as he laughed thinking, 'Well, some other act might make me sweat fast, though.'
Izumi deactivated her sharingan as she asked, "What are our chances of winning against our opponents."
Akihiko thought for a while and answered, "For Izumi, I would say 95% unless the opponent has a trump card, for Kagami, I guess 40%, give or take."
Izumi looked proud while Kagami had a gloomy aura around him.
"Alright, Alright, let's go and wash up. We have the tournament in a few hours." Akihiko said as they all went to take a bath.
Akihiko felt quite strange as the interval between each mission of the system is random. He hasn't got a new mission since he confessed to Izumi. He just felt curious about how the system worked but he also felt happy about not having missions. He can just do whatever he wanted.
After taking a bath, Akihiko met up with Izumi and Kagami while going to the arena where the last test, the tournament will start.
-----
After around 30 mins, the tournament is finally going to start. Kurenai cheered for the three of them and the tournament finally started.
There was a rectangular stage in the middle of the tournament made of clay.
1st round – Izumi Uchiha (Konoha) vs Yame Tekudasai (Sunagakure)
The judge then said, "You may use any weapons or jutsus. You are not allowed to kill your opponents. Leaving the stage will result in your loss."
Izumi and Yame Tekudasai nodded and the judge shouted, "Start the match!"
Yame Tekudasai used a long katana while Izumi had a short tanto. Yame Tekudasai thought that this would be an easy game.
Yame Teudasai used the jutsu Sand Shuriken to harden the sand in the arena and threw them towards Izumi. He then disappeared from his place and dashed towards Izumi.
Izumi just activated her sharingan and dodged all the shurikens and blocked Yame's katana. She then pushed it sideways, making Yame lose his stance and she quickly moved her tanto and placed it on Yame's neck.
The judge was surprised by how fast the match ended and then shouted,
"Izumi Uchiha wins!"
The crowd cheered and Akihiko just smiled while saying,
"It is not about how short or long it is, it is about the way you use it."
2nd match – Gesu Yaro(Kumogakure) vs Tawa Goto(Kirigakure)
The match lasted for around 10 minutes as the two of them were even in power, but in the end Gesu Yaro won.
3rd match – Kuso Yaro (Kumogakure) vs Kagami Sentarou (Konohagakure)
The third match was Kuso Yaro, the brother of Gesu Yaro against Kagami. Kagami obviously won the match, as he was trained by Akihiko for around a week. He just used clone technique to distract the opponent and took the chance and threw Kuso Yaro out of the stage.
"Kagami Sentarou wins!"
The crowd cheered again and thought that this year's Konoha genin team is strong.
4th match – Akihiko (Konohagakure) vs Chiken Nagetto(Sunagakure)
"Match start." The judge shouted as Akihiko walked away from the stage.
"Are you going to forfeit the match?" The judge asked as Akihiko was walking away from the stage.
Akihiko just looked at the judge and said, "Huh? What do you mean? He's already knocked out."
Everyone hearing Akihiko just looked at Chiken Nagetto lying on the ground with blood from his mouth and teeth broken.
"T-This match, A-Akihiko wins."
Everyone was surprised. Civilians, genins and chunins were surprised by how fast he was. In the room where the Kazekage and important people watch the tournament, they were all surprised as Akihiko didn't use any ninjutsu. He just used speed, pure speed and all they could see was a blur.
The Kazekage just muttered, "That brat is strong."
A blond-haired girl around the age of 14 was surprised to hear that since her father rarely praised someone to be strong.
She memorized the name Akihiko and the fact that he was from Konoha as she was interested in him.
The other matches went as following.
5th- Han Baga(Sunagakure) vs Boru Fukai(Kirigakure)
Han Baga's victory
6th- Poteto Chippusu(Kumogakure) vs Furaido Poteto(Kirigakure)
Furaido Poteto's victory.
Just like that, the first round of the tournament ended.
