52. Uchiha vs Uchiha pt2
<span style="font-weight:400">Iruka was having a difficult time with his current task or to be more specific with Tomoka. After his initial scolding for the usage of chakra in the bukijutsu test he finally took in the whole situation. A kid no older than eight years had used chakra coating on her weapons. That is simply insane especially since he himself is unable to do such a thing, At least not without a weapon made from chakra metal.
<span style="font-weight:400">To put it simply, in Iruka’s eyes the girl might as well be a genin already. That reminded him of simr instances of such prodigies in the past like Itachi or Kakashi. Not wanting to think too deeply about it he decided to push that notion to the back of his mind and continue with the test. It''s not like she could be as skilled in other areas right?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, next will be the ninjutsu test. Since I don’t expect most of you to actually know any yet I will ask those of you who don’t to make a group to my left. Those of you confident enough to try please stand to my right.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As instructed everyone moved to one group or the other. As expected, all kids from civilian families stood to the left while all from n families stood to the right… except for a certainzy Nara and chubby Akimichi. There were some kids that, like Tomoka, didn’t belong to a n but instead had shinobi parents who also stood to the right.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, I will be calling you one by one and I want you to use a ninjutsu, any will do” The goal of this test was simple. Iruka wished to observe the kid’s chakra control and reserves. Of course doing so with trained shinobi would be impossible for him, however he could do so easily with kids.
<span style="font-weight:400">Once again names were called one after the other. Until the first interesting name was called and would you guess but it was the blond boy. Naruto walked forward before waving some hand signs for an air jutsu. In a moment Naruto shot out a wind bullet, a very weak one mind you.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing Naruto’s performance, Tomoka could do nothing but sigh. She had drilled that one jutsu into his skull for thest two years and he still botched it horribly. The amount of wasted chakra in its execution was enough to shoot ten or more of the same bullets with twice the power.
<span style="font-weight:400">Iruka had noticed the ws in Naruto’s execution of the jutsu. His eyebrow and lips twitch with annoyance. The damned kid had wasted around half of what Iruka had for a chakra pool. With a cough to refocus his thoughts Iruka decided to call the next kid before he went into a rant.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Next, Sasuke” Like before, Sasuke went right after Naruto. After all, Iruka was simply calling them by list.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing his name Sasuke walked forward with confidence and pride, that is until his eyesnded on Nozomi. In an instant Sasuke’s brows furrowed into a frown, he couldn’t understand how that failure of an Uchiha had surpassed him in Bukijutsu. However, a momentter he came to a conclusion.
<span style="font-weight:400">‘Of course. Since she can’t use fire she sunk all her time into Bukijutsu while I had to train my ninjutsu. No wonder she managed to beat me’ With the confidence that brought this thought Sasuke proceeded to weave the famous fireball jutsu of the Uchiha.
<span style="font-weight:400">As the kid exhaled a fireball the size of a basketball flew towards a target. As it hit a small explosion followed as the target got bathed in mes. Satisfied with his performance Sasuke couldn’t help but send Nozomi a smug grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well done Sasuke, next is Nozomi” Like before Nozomi walked forward with calm steps. She had been nervous until a moment ago when she saw Sasuke''s fireball. Even though yes it was powerful for a kid his age, it was nothingpared to what she had to deal with from Tomoka.
<span style="font-weight:400">Once she received the green light from Iruka she began her performance. Her hands moved with incredible speed and precision out of pure habit. A secondter she was finished and exhaled.
<span style="font-weight:400">‘Air style: APER’
<span style="font-weight:400">From her mouth a tiny ball of liquid was propelled forward with amazing speed Striking the target next to Sasuke’s. As the liquid bullet impacted the log it pierced through it like a hot needle through foam till the halfway point. What came next was a loud bang as thepressed air expanded rupturing the log from within causing it to explode.
<span style="font-weight:400">This very jutsu was something that Tomoka had made after mastering the air bullet jutsu. She called it the Armor piercing explosive round or APER for short.
<span style="font-weight:400">Iruka could barely believe his eyes. The little Uchiha had used an extremely lethal jutsu like it was nothing. Her control had been top notch having little chakra waste. Though he could see she was slightly winded from the exertion he would be scared if she wasn’t. After all, this jutsu might as well be a B tier jutsu, maybe even A tier.
