Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 14: Return To The Grind 5

Moments later, Daiki and Sasuke faced off against each other, stood thirty feet apart in the middle of the training ground.

Another smirk spread across Sasuke's face as Daiki slid into the opening stance of the Academy Style taijutsu.

Daiki smirked right back.

"…Alright, let's keep this clean okay guys? Whoever can pin the other and keep them immobile, wins." Sakura hesitantly addressed.

"Don't worry Sakura, this won't take long." Sasuke assured her, Sharingan eyes locked onto his opponent.

"He's right," Daiki agreed, "I'm about to go all Tobirama on his ass and make Konoha great again."

"Who the hell is Tobirama?" Naruto, arms crossed behind his head squinted his eyes in confusion.

Sakura gave him an odd look, but sighed and nodded, "Alright then," the pink haired kunoichi conceded, "Begin!" she announced.

As soon as she said so, Sasuke exploded forward, rushing towards Daiki at a blinding pace, covering the distance in mere moments.

Daiki remained in placing, waiting for him to come, 'He's faster.' he held off clicking his tongue.

Sasuke flicked his hand suddenly, and shuriken appeared, free of them blitzing through the tiny gap in the air between them.

They were so sudden, Daiki didn't have time to think up a counter, leaving them to stab into his shoulders and the middle of his chest.

He puffed into smoke, a log replacing his previous position with the three shuriken embedded into it.

"Hmph!" Sasuke whipped his foot back, bleeding off his momentum and spinning backwards a half a foot, just in time to avoid a rising knee strike aimed at his kidneys.

Daiki's back to him now, Sasuke completed his spin and launched a roundhouse straight up at the other genin's side.

Daiki's muscular arm whipped out, blocking the kick with his forearm. Sasuke smirked, using the force of his own kick and the block, to force himself up into the air and windmill into another kick that Daiki wasn't able to block this time.

Sasuke's sandal connected with Daiki's cheek with an audible impact and launched him backwards, even lifting him briefly up of his feet a bit, before he slammed his feet into the ground and bled off the force.

"You said you liked my jutsu, huh?" Sasuke's smirk stretched as he ran through a series of hand seals blindingly fast, before cupping his hand around his mouth, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

He exhaled powerfully, launching a huge fireball, the size of a grown man towards Daiki.

Clicking his tongue for real this time, Daiki thrust out one of his palms, unleashing his Force Palm Jutsu.

Sasuke's eyes widened as his fireball was blown completely apart before it even reached halfway towards his opponent and quickly crossed his arms over his chest, before jumping back.

"Wind Style!?" the Uchiha gasped.

The corona of pure wind force slammed into him and carried him further through the air. His arms ached, but, due to his quick thinking, a lot of the force from the attack was already bled off, and he took little real damage from it.

Daiki gave him no reprieve, running through a few hand seals, he exploded forward with a shunshin.

Sasuke was able to track him though and jerked his head to the side, just in time to avoid a heavy straight punch that crashed straight through the bark of a thick tree behind him.

Lashing out with a rapid punch, Sasuke caught Daiki in the side, making him grunt in pain, then ducked as the other boy pulled his hand out of the tree, unleashing a spinning back hand, then ducked backwards avoiding the follow up knee strike he saw coming in slow motion.

Hands touching the ground as he bent backwards, Sasuke launched into a hand-stand snap kick directed at Daiki's lower jaw, but Daiki caught the kick with his palm, stopping it in its tracks.

Sasuke was fine with that, using it as a feint to spin like a spinning top and lash out with his other leg at Daiki's unguarded face.

Once again a blue sandal met Daiki's face, this time, much harder than before and pain exploded in his cheek as he was bodily lifted up into the air.

His palm tightened over Sasuk'e other foot though, and the Uchiha grunted as Daiki dragged him up into the air with him.

Then his eyes went wide when Daiki thrust out his his other hand, and unleashed a corona of pure force while beginning to spin.

Sasuke got a real first hand view of what it was like to be a spinning top, his vision blurring even with the Sharingan active as Daiki whipped them around and slammed him hard into the ground below as their air time came to an end.

The breath was knocked out of Sasuke as his back met the ground and cratered it inwards, but he didn't have much time to counter.

Daiki hadn't let go of his foot even after slamming him down into the dirt, and bodily hauled the pale skinned boy up out of the small crater his back had made in it.

Sasuke didn't bother trying to escape Daiki's grip, instead, lashing out with his free leg again to kick him under the junction of his arm, right in the in the armpit, while at the same time, running through a few hand seals.

"Gah!" Daiki grimaced, forced to let go of his fellow genin before he could slam him again, and his eyes widened as he noticed the boy, as he fell below him.

His hands were in the tiger seal, and he was taking a deep breath.

Time slowed down for Daiki.

And resumed just as quickly.

A snarl leaving his lips and baring his teeth, the tan skin boy thrust out his palm, catching Sasuke in the lower stomach, "Force Palm Jutsu!" he roared, triggering the seal on his palm.

The good thing about his little seal, was that it could be activated pretty much instantly.

Sasuke gagged as once more a corona of pure force erupted from Daiki's palm, this time, at point blank range.

He was sent soaring back through the air, flipping ass over head multiple times, before slamming into the ground thirty feet away.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura's scream of worry rang in Daiki's ears, but it felt muted, as if she was miles away, all of his attention was focused on the older boy laying first first down in the dirt.

If this were an enemy, he wouldn't even give them a chance to get up, this would be the perfect chance to use his one and only lightning style ninjutsu and finish him off.

But, this was just a spar in the end, to test himself.
