Chapter 11: Hinata Ayane's Constant Entanglement
"Qianhe, are you still going to practice after school? Your shuriken skills have improved very quickly recently."
Just when Qianhe was lost in thought, his deskmate Izumi Uchiha gently poked his shoulder and asked in a low voice.
When he first entered school, Qianhe's kunai throwing skills were still very poor, but after practicing hard, his skills improved by leaps and bounds.
After that, he pestered Itachi to teach him a few tricks, and his kunai throwing level was second only to Itachi's in the class.
Because Quan and Qianhe are at the same table, they have a good relationship.
Later, by chance, Izumi Uchiha met Qianhe who was practicing, and he practiced with him from time to time.
And this month, because of Itachi's shuriken technique shared with him by the light calamity clone, Qianhe's kunai throwing level has completely caught up with Itachi's.
But in a recent test, Qianhe found that Itachi's overall strength had improved again, giving him a feeling of retaining his strength during the battle.
Obviously, he must have been practicing with Shisui in private.
His Light Tribulation clone copied real-time things, so what was shared with Qianhe was everything about Itachi from two months ago.
The light tribulation clone cannot synchronize with Itachi's level in real time unless he uses the second light tribulation clone that is about to appear to copy Itachi again.
Not to mention whether it can be copied successfully again, the key is whether it is cost-effective. This is a waste of half a year before a light tribulation clone appears.
Qianhe's current progress is comparable to that of Itachi, who is self-taught, and Itachi's progress is still studying at home with Uchiha Fugaku and usually studying with Uchiha Shisui, so it is normal for him to progress faster than Qianhe.
Of course, this gap is acceptable to Qianhe, or what he hopes for, just a little bit worse than Itachi.
As long as he thought about it, in four months the second Light Tribulation clone could copy another genius and surpass Itachi, but it was not necessary for the time being.
Since the clone of Light Tribulation only comes out every half a year, he can store it first, and then choose the copy target according to the actual situation when he is stronger.
"Because I have been secretly practicing more recently, and I also asked Itachi for advice on shuriken techniques." Qianhe whispered into Quan's ear.
"Practice with Itachi?" Quan's eyes lit up and he instantly grasped the 'point'.
"Ahem, Classmate Quan, Classmate Qianhe, please listen carefully to the class."
Because Uchiha Izumi's voice suddenly rose, the surrounding students heard it, and the homeroom teacher Sakamoto naturally heard it too. He reminded the two of them with a look of helplessness.
It's not that he didn't notice the little tricks of the two of them, but their grades were very good, especially the content of today's lecture. Basically, it was taught again to take care of some students who failed the last exam. Qianhe and Quan didn't listen. It was nothing, but the movement between the two of them was a little too obvious, so he still had to remind them.
"Sorry, teacher."
Quan quickly apologized in a low voice.
Qian He, who looked confused, also expressed that he would listen carefully to the lecture.
"Okay, let's continue the class, Kamano, why are you laughing? If you fail this written test, you will have to repeat the grade, you know? In all my years in the ninja school, I have never taught a student who repeated the grade in the first grade. He didn't pay attention to the class. ”
Seeing the two people being named, Kamano, who was watching the excitement behind Qianhe, covered his mouth and snickered, but was discovered by Sakamoto and criticized on the spot.
"Yes, teacher." Kamano quickly suppressed his laughter, with a serious expression on his face.
After this little episode, Itachi, who was wandering in a fugue, also returned his attention and looked back at Qianhe and Izumi.
When Quan was called on by the teacher in front of Itachi, he suddenly looked a little embarrassed. His face turned red and he glared at Qianhe.
Qianhe: "???"
After a while, Qianhe whispered to Quan: "How about I take you and Itachi to practice shuriken together after school?"
"Really?" Quan almost shouted excitedly again.
****
Konoha Village, in the forest far away from the streets and houses.
"Pay attention to the strength of your wrist. Raise your arm slightly and don't use too much force." Itachi stood beside Quan and helped her correct her posture.
"Yes, Itachi." Quan's face was full of seriousness.
Duh duh duh!
Four kunai shot out from Uchiha Izumi's hand, three of which hit close to the target's center, and the other one hit the edge of the target.
"Itachi, you're so good. You're much more accurate than I was before."
Izumi shouted with excitement, looking at Itachi with a little more admiration in his eyes.
"Really, that's great, keep practicing like this."
"Is this where Itachi usually practices?" Uchiha Quan asked.
"Probably so." Qian He nodded.
After school, he took Quan with him to practice with Itachi.
Itachi originally wanted to refuse, but when faced with Qianhe being so persistent, he really had no choice but to agree in the end.
In fact, Qianhe knew that Itachi had used his shadow clone to go to school a month ago, so the Itachi in front of him must be a shadow clone, but fighting against Itachi's shadow clone could also test his current strength.
Anyway, it's mainly a physical duel, and neither side knows how to use ninjutsu.
Even though Qianhe and Itachi are both now proficient in the Fire Release and Go Fireball Jutsu, neither side will use this killing ninjutsu in battle.
Seeing that Itachi was concentrating on teaching Quan, Qianhe was thinking about whether he should spar with Itachi another day. It seemed like he should leave quietly at this time.
"Qianhe, I found you! Come and fight with me!"
Just when Qian He was about to leave, a voice sounded that made Qian He's back shiver.
I saw a sweet-looking girl with pigtails tied sideways walking over.
Looking at Hinata Ayane who was walking slowly towards him, Qianhe subconsciously took a small step back.
Ever since she made her cry a month ago, she had been fighting with Qianhe, and would look for Qianhe to fight every few days.
And because Hinata Ayane opened her Byakugan a month ago, her strength soared.
In the first few battles, Qianhe was able to win by letting her win.
But every time she lost, when Hinata Ayane challenged again, Qianhe could feel her obvious improvement.
In a battle three days ago, Qianhe felt that he could not beat her with physical skills alone, so he had to admit defeat. After all, Qianhe must not expose his Sharingan now, and he could not use the powerful ninjutsu of the Great Fireball on Hinata Ayane.
In terms of physical skills alone, Qianhe was sure that neither she nor Itachi was the opponent of Hinata Ayane. It was not that they were weak, but that Hinata Ayane was improving too fast.
Hinata Ayane is one year older than Chihwa. She is the granddaughter of the Hyuga clan's great elder. She is naturally very talented, otherwise she would not have skipped from the first grade to the fifth grade.
However, although she was serious about her training before, she was not very hardworking.
After experiencing a "disastrous defeat" a month ago, she began to enter the hard training mode, training with the clan's top ninja masters, and even the clan leader Hinata Hiashi personally taught her soft fist, which made her physical strength soar.
Chihwa thought that after she admitted defeat last time, she would let her go, but she didn't expect Hinata Ayane to come again.
"Can I admit defeat?" Chihwa smiled.
