Steady......

It's so stable, there are no flaws in almost all directions.

In the dark, Uchiha Zen blends perfectly into the night.

After seeing Itachi's extraordinary strength and speed, it was clear that he had no intention of starting a melee fight in the first encounter.

Harassing through the shadow clone using ninja and illusions, and trying to break through the Uchiha Itachi's psychological defenses step by step makes him panic, this is the way to win.

Uchiha Zen believes that as a five-year-old child, even if Uchiha Itachi has been on the battlefield, even if his performance has always been very bland, after all, he does not have such a lot of combat experience and mission experience.

Although his performance is much stronger than that of ordinary children, he will definitely not be so firm in his heart and will.

But the result was obviously beyond Uchiha Zen's expectations.

The Uchiha Itachi's performance was too smooth, avoiding the large number of shurikens with a very small range of movements, and at the same time easily blocking the kunai with the blade.

Even...... He saw through his illusion at a glance!

The double hook jade in Zen's eyes stared at the middle of the field, holding a sword in both hands, and the waist was straight, like a stone statue of Uchiha Itachi.

The constant calm on his face was like a huge and invisible stone, pressing on his shoulders, adding psychological pressure to himself little by little.

Obviously, he wanted to break through Itachi's psychological defense through the harassment offensive.

But now the first attempt is such a failure, and in turn, the pressure falls on me.

Next...... What to do?

Zen held his breath and pondered calmly in the dark.

In the field, the weasel did not move, his eyes looked straight ahead, and his body did not move.

"They ......"

This tense atmosphere was even affected by the few people watching the battle on the side.

Uchiha whispered to the person next to him, but was choked by the gazes of the others, and he swallowed the words back into his stomach in embarrassment.

As the minutes passed, the Uchiha Zen in the shadows did not attack, and the Uchiha Itachi in the light did not move.

The situation of the war seems to be at a stalemate.

It's as if they're competing against each other's endurance.

Whoosh –

But soon, as if he couldn't sink in the dark, Zen in the dark once again tested the Itachi in the same way, but the direction changed.

A few shuriken flying from the front, kunai flying from the left behind, and ...... Illusion Strike.

But this time, the weasel was not the same as before.

Bang –

The ferret's feet are pressed on the ground as if they were pressed against a spring mechanism.

Immediately after, his figure galloped at a speed that was difficult for several people present to grasp, and swung his sword like a sharp arrow towards Uchiha Zen, who was rushing towards Kunai in his hand.

Its strength and speed are even a few points higher than when he sparred with Rin Uchiha before!

The same thing happened again, Uchiha Teru didn't even have a chance to perform a stand-in technique, and the force that came back from the kunai made his body fly straight upside down.

This time it's not an illusion!

But again, it's not physical!

Bang –

The figure of Uchiha Zen, who was blasted away by Itachi's sword, turned into smoke in the air.

This is a shadow clone.

But then, the expression on the ferret's face still did not fluctuate, and the figure did not stop, but burrowed into the forest at a faster speed.

Like a hungry wolf staring at a deer in the forest, in his field of vision, trees, rocks, lawns...... Many objects are thrown backwards until they ......

He saw the panicked face of Uchiha Zen, who was half-crouching on the ground next to a rock!

Chop!

Itachi's body jumped up suddenly, and his body functions were raised again, and a faint layer of pink was already attached to his body.

The qi and blood in the body surged, like a dull humming sound from a huge oven running at high speed.

Far away, the iron sword in his hand was thrown out violently, and he galloped like a kunai, stabbing fiercely at the Uchiha Zen who was about to seal!

Bang!

The iron sword undoubtedly pierced through Uchiha Zen's body and nailed to the rock!

Immediately afterwards, Zen's body dissipated into smoke without any accident.

This is still a shadow clone!

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

At this time, Uchiha Zen, who was quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait like a hunter in the dark, flashed a trace of hesitation in his heart, but he still resolutely used the escape technique he was most familiar with!

Huge fireballs flew out of the darkness of the forest and blasted towards the ferret, which had landed on the ground and was about to draw its iron sword.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

As if anticipating a possible attack early in the morning, Itachi sealed his hands and used the same escape technique.

But his fireball easily swallowed the fireball that Zen spat out, and rushed towards the pale Uchiha Zen.

"Be careful!"

Hui and the others who rushed in only had time to shout.

But soon, they discovered that Itachi's fire escape technique was stopped in front of Hui.

The fireball turned into sparks, slowly escaping, and at the same time, it only made Uchiha Zen's body appear a little hot.

"You've lost."

Itachi's iron sword cut straight through the sparks and stopped before Uchiha Zen's eyes.

"I lost."

Uchiha Zen replied in amazement, "The moment you mercilessly swung your sword at my shadow clone, I knew I lost, unless I continued to hide, wasting time hiding in the shadows. ”

His hesitation when he used the Fire Escape Technique was not for fear that his technique would hurt Itachi.

Rather, it was because he found that Itachi did not hesitate to attack the bait he had released.

This is not in line with the kind of "mercy" that Itachi showed when he faced off with Rin just now.

It was obvious that he had seen through his tactics, but Zen had no choice but to put his hopes on the Fire Escape Technique in a desperate gamble.

And the result is ......

Zen sat down on the ground, looked at the Uchiha Itachi who had withdrawn the iron sword and asked, "How long have you been learning the fire escape technique?" ”

His eyes were complicated.

Maybe Teru is right, the Uchiha Itachi will really be the future hope of the Uchiha clan.

"There's no point in you asking about that."

Itachi saw what he was thinking, shook his head and refused to answer, and then replied, "Unprovoked comparisons can't make you stronger, you should look for a more suitable opponent, an opponent who can motivate each other with you." ”

Saying this, he stretched out his palm and put it in front of Zen, "Do you still have the strength to stand up?" ”

"Absolutely."

Zen took his palm and stood up under his pull.

Looking at Itachi's calm face, Zen was not ashamed of losing to a child.

Instead, he was convinced by Itachi, who had easily won the contest, but was still humble and respectful.

Itachi nodded politely at him, then turned to look at the others, "Then the next opponent is ......"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Uchiha Ki.

"No need to fight, no need to fight."

Uchiha waved his hand, "Zen's strength is stronger than all of us, since you can win him, it will definitely not be difficult to win us." ”

Next to him, the Uchiha Zencho also nodded, agreeing with the ambiguity.

"Do you give in without a fight?"

Itachi didn't intend to give up and looked at them calmly, "What I hope for...... It's a sparring with each of you. ”

"It doesn't matter whether the result is or not, what I value is the improvement and understanding of each other in the process."
