Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 33 Physical Sparring

In the sixth training ground, Akaishi, Inuzuka Tsurugi, and Kuromaru were already standing on both sides. However, after Inuzuka Tsurugi said something to it, Kuromaru whimpered and reluctantly took a few steps back.

Although Akaishi ordered Inuzuka Tsurugi and Kuromaru to "come together", Inuzuka had no intention of letting Kuromaru make a move after confirming that "it's just a sparring match"!

The two sides then formed opposing seals as a form of etiquette for their exchange of skills, and at the same time...

"Sharingan, activate!" Akaishi activated it first as a sign of respect.

Noticing the change in Akaishi's eyes, Inuzuka Tsurugi first looked serious, then... surprised!

"Your left eye..." Inuzuka Tsuru exclaimed in shock.

Of course she knew about Akaishi's awakening of his eyes—it was his graduation ceremony, after all, and she wasn't absent from it!

Inuzuka Tsurugi especially vividly remembers the timing of Akaishi's awakening of his eyes...

However, only a month and a half has passed, and Akashi has gained another magatama.

"It's already at the second level?" Inuzuka Tsuru asked in surprise.

"This is called Erba..." Akashi corrected.

Kuromaru, who had already sat down, stood up again, but Inuzuka Tsurugi calmed it back down.

"You can all come at me together. The Inuzuka clan's Beast Man Technique can't be used without ninja dogs, right?" Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"No need. You've only undergone a transformation in one eye, which won't significantly help your taijutsu." Claw said knowingly—the approximate strength of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan wasn't exactly a secret in Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Akaishi said nothing more, but simply assumed the starting stance of the Uchiha Fluid Technique, lowering his center of gravity but with unsteady steps, his left elbow sinking and palm extending forward, while his right palm faced backward, as if he were about to support his lower back, while preparing to dodge, block, and counterattack.

Knowing the Uchiha clan's taijutsu characteristics, Inuzuka Tsuru didn't offer any words of modesty. Instead, he immediately lowered his body and braced himself on the ground with both hands...

Under the stimulation of chakra, the claws extended and transformed into sharp claws, and the knuckles became more prominent.

Because the Inuzuka family has worn sandals for generations, it can be seen that her toes, which were originally only slightly long, have changed to resemble the claws of a wild animal.

"The art of four legs!"

"Huh?" Akaishi was also slightly surprised.

At the same time, if you compare carefully, you will find that the most important thing is not these obvious small details, but that the overall body proportions of the other person have changed!

Otherwise, Inuzuka's paws wouldn't be able to land so naturally on all fours...

Back in the Ninja Academy, Inuzuka Tsurugi couldn't achieve such a beast-like transformation, at least not because the overall physical changes weren't as obvious, and his hands supporting him on the ground wouldn't be so natural; at most, they would just hang down.

"Congratulations on being able to support yourself on the ground."

Although Akaishi's words were a compliment, the sarcastic tone made Inuzuka Tsuru snort coldly. In a flash, he used the Beast Transformation Ground-Supporting Instantaneous Movement Technique enhanced with the "Four-Legged Technique" to instantly appear behind Akaishi...

Just as her sharp claws were about to strike Akaishi's waist, and her nails were about to tear open Akaishi's clothes... Akaishi moved!

In an instant, he changed from his original starting stance to a twisting, clapping defensively, and actually managed to slap Inuzuka's claw away first.

Akaishi slapped away Inuzuka's claw with his left hand, and then thrust his right index and middle fingers toward Inuzuka's face, but Inuzuka leaped away to dodge...

After Chishi infused his chakra, his sharp finger pierced the ground, and only two strands of hair fell down—if it had landed properly, it would have at least left a black eye!

Furthermore, if it had been a month and a half ago, Inuzuka Tsurugi wouldn't have been able to dodge it...

If the opponent's physical skills are weaker, Akaishi's "parry" would actually work. However, the stronger the opponent's physical skills, the less opportunity and room for error there will be for parrying or dodging.

"Well done." The wild look on his face intensified.

Seeing that his opponent's progress was greater than he had imagined, Akashi dared not be careless and adopted the Uchiha-style starting stance.

At this moment, Inuzuka Tsuru realized that with the Sharingan's dynamic vision, his attempt to use the Body Flicker Technique to get behind them was a complete waste of effort; it would be better to...

This time, Inuzuka Tsurugi charged straight at Akaishi with all four paws on the ground, relentlessly attacking him. Akaishi simply leaned back slightly to dodge Inuzuka Tsurugi's pounce. Inuzuka Tsurugi would advance one step, and Akaishi would retreat one step. Once he found an opportunity and dodged Inuzuka Tsurugi's attack again, he launched a precise counterattack with his backhand, striking Inuzuka Tsurugi's face with a curled knuckles palm!

Inuzuka Tsurugi's face twisted in pain from the blow, and when he opened his mouth, saliva sprayed out...

Seeing Inuzuka Tsuru scramble backward to dodge, Akaishi calmly assumed his starting stance again, without pursuing him—Akaishi had only wanted someone to "spar with," not to win against anyone.

Wang Wang Wang --

Seeing its master in such a sorry state, Blackie couldn't help but bark.

"You've made great progress," Inuzuka Tsuru said, wiping his face and mouth haphazardly with his wrist.

then……

"Kuromaru!" Inuzuka Tsurugi, who was also adept at moving in and out of the field, immediately called for Kuromaru to enter the arena.

Kuro-maru has a gray-blue coat on its back and its shoulder height reaches up to Inuzuka Tsuru's chest, making it look very majestic. When it came to Inuzuka Tsuru's side, Tsuru, who had been weak just now, immediately regained its confidence.

Claw swiftly formed hand seals: "Human-Beast Technique!"

next moment……

bang——

After a puff of smoke, Inuzuka Claw disappeared, replaced by... Black Maru No. 2.

The Inuzuka family is renowned for raising ninja dogs, and their clan's secret techniques are all performed in conjunction with these dogs.

Ninja dogs, or simply "dogs," have been domesticated and assisted humans for a long time, perhaps even longer than the existence of "ninjas."

Ninja dogs are also typical "ninja beasts." They are animals that begin to cultivate chakra and gradually acquire chakra at the same time as humans. The difference is the "summoning beasts" in various secret realms. These summoning beasts have mastered chakra, or even special powers different from chakra, for much longer than humans. Theoretically, they are the same kind of thing as the demons that the Sage of Six Paths destroyed...

The Inuzuka family's ninja dogs are all home-bred. From the moment an Inuzuka family ninja acquires a ninja dog, the strength of the dog-training ninja increases significantly, sometimes to the point of a genin training a chunin.

As for the Inuzuka family's secret techniques, there are generally two major schools: one is turning a person into a dog, and the other is turning a dog into a person. Inuzuka Tsurugi's technique is undoubtedly turning a person into a dog.

This is not a simple transformation technique, but a technique that truly gives the ninja the ability to temporarily possess the physical characteristics of a partner ninja dog!

The next moment, the two black balls rushed towards the red stone, like two dogs playing with a pearl...

Akaishi couldn't hold back any longer and bent over faster than usual. As a result, because he dodged in advance, his rhythm was completely disrupted, and he almost got bitten on the hand by another black ball.

Akashi quickly used a substitution jutsu to hide further back and create distance—although it was a taijutsu competition, it was usually assumed that such auxiliary ninjutsu could be used, just like Claw used the "Four Claws Technique" and "Human-Beast Technique".

"Claw, can you please watch your image?" Akaishi glared at Kuromaru, who had just tried to snatch the pearl.

The other black ball, now enraged, retorted, "That's a black ball! I bit your hand!"
