The next day, Uchiha Sora continued to attend the Ninja Academy.
Today, there happened to be a Taijutsu class.
Uchiha Sora's Taijutsu was not bad. This was because he had always maintained a habit of exercising; even though he was still young, his physical fitness was better than that of the other children.
However, he had never seriously learned the techniques and movements of Taijutsu.
This class was specifically designed to test everyone's abilities in Taijutsu.
The teacher would use sparring matches to assess everyone's Taijutsu skills and provide guidance.
"First pair, Uchiha Itachi and Shimura Shin!"
At the teacher's call, Uchiha Itachi and the other boy walked to the center of the training ground and performed the Seal of Confrontation with each other.
Then, the two of them rushed at each other and began to fight fiercely.
As the number one genius of his grade, Uchiha Itachi's all-around abilities had already surpassed those of the average student. Shimura Shin didn't last more than a few moves before being easily pinned to the ground by him.
Cheers erupted from the surrounding girls; Uchiha Itachi's performance was nothing short of perfect, causing the girls to swoon over him.
After performing the Seal of Reconciliation, Uchiha Itachi coolly left the field and was immediately surrounded by a group of girls.
If this were before, Uchiha Sora would have been envious, but now that he had a system and had awakened the Sharingan, if they were to actually fight, with the boost from the Sharingan, he might not necessarily lose to Uchiha Itachi in Taijutsu.
"Next pair, Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Izumi!" At this moment, the teacher called out loudly to Uchiha Sora.
His opponent was Uchiha Izumi, a long-haired girl with a tear mole at the corner of her eye.
Uchiha Sora remembered that in the original work, she would later become Itachi's lover.
However, for now, she and Uchiha Itachi were just ordinary classmates and fellow clansmen.
"Hello, Uchiha Sora." The two walked to the center of the training ground, and Uchiha Izumi smiled as she performed the Seal of Confrontation.
"Hello, Uchiha Izumi." Uchiha Sora returned the smile and also performed the Seal of Confrontation.
After forming the seal, Uchiha Sora rushed toward Uchiha Izumi.
Uchiha Izumi had good talent for Taijutsu; in the class, her Taijutsu was second only to Uchiha Itachi's, and she could be considered a little genius.
As soon as the two began to exchange blows, Uchiha Sora immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Although his body was well-trained, his Taijutsu techniques were still too rough. It was normal that he couldn't compare to Uchiha Izumi without using the Sharingan.
"Ding-dong! The system has detected that your Taijutsu project has been established! Taijutsu has entered Auto-Cultivation mode!"
Just then, a notification sound suddenly rang in Uchiha Sora's mind.
Immediately following that, the notification sound rang again:
"Ding! Your Taijutsu is being crushed by the opponent; determined to catch up, cultivation accelerated!"
The next moment, Uchiha Izumi discovered that Uchiha Sora's movements had actually become exquisite, and his reactions and attacks had become unpredictable.
Before long, Uchiha Izumi was surprised to find that she was actually being suppressed and beaten by Uchiha Sora!?
Bang!
Their arms collided, and after pushing off each other, Uchiha Izumi looked at Uchiha Sora and knitted her delicate eyebrows.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Sora was overjoyed by this speed of progress. He hadn't expected that after Taijutsu Auto-Cultivation, he could have such a huge improvement during a real battle!
In that case, he wouldn't need to practice Taijutsu techniques on his own anymore; he just needed to find Taijutsu experts to spar with!
"Again!" Uchiha Sora hadn't had enough yet, because the notification sounds kept ringing in his mind.
"Ding! Your Taijutsu strongly desires to engage with the opponent! Cultivation accelerated! Accelerated! Accelerated!"
Uchiha Izumi had no choice but to step forward again and engage in combat with Uchiha Sora.
The Taijutsu battle between the two became increasingly intense, and it lasted longer and longer.
The students around them who hadn't been paying much attention to this fight gradually had their gazes drawn over.
Even Uchiha Itachi looked over at the two of them.
"Their Taijutsu is not bad," Uchiha Itachi evaluated silently.
The Chunin Teachers were also discussing it on the side: "Uchiha Izumi's Taijutsu is good, but I didn't expect Uchiha Sora to be able to fight her for so long in Taijutsu. It seems we need to strengthen his Taijutsu education in the future."
Thud!
Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard, and Uchiha Izumi's body flew outward and landed on the ground.
She clutched her shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.
The Chunin Teacher hurriedly went up to help her up, his expression changing slightly: "Izumi, you're hurt!"
He saw that her exposed shoulder was red and swollen; it was possible that the bone had been injured!
Uchiha Sora cursed inwardly. He had gotten caught up in the excitement of the fight, and with his constantly improving Taijutsu, he hadn't been able to hold back his strength in time and had actually injured Uchiha Izumi!
"Uchiha Sora! How could you use such heavy force?" The teacher scolded him harshly: "Did your parents not teach you to treat your classmates and fellow clansmen well?"
Uchiha Sora knew he was in the wrong, but hearing the Chunin Teacher make such a fuss and even mention his deceased parents, he couldn't help but frown: "When Ninjas fight each other, fists and kicks have no eyes; injuries are unavoidable. Besides, Teacher, as a Ninja yourself, don't you know the cruelty of the Ninja world?"
"My parents died on a Ninja mission. The best lesson they gave me was to survive in this cruel world! Not to quibble over these Ninja sparring games here!"
Uchiha Sora's words left all the students present in a daze.
Because most of them were young and still unable to understand these words.
However, the Chunin Teacher who had just spoken was visibly shaken. He was secretly shocked by Uchiha Sora's precociousness and realized that he had spoken wrongly just now; he shouldn't have brought up his parents.
His face flushed, and he finally sighed: "Forget it, I won't argue with a child like you!"
Only then did Uchiha Sora walk to Uchiha Izumi's side, perform the Seal of Reconciliation toward her, and smile: "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention and hurt you just now. I apologize to you; you'll forgive me, right?"
Uchiha Izumi stared blankly at Uchiha Sora, her mind still echoing with the words Uchiha Sora had said to the teacher earlier.
She suddenly felt that Uchiha Sora seemed to have become different from everyone else.
As for how he was different, young as she was, her mind couldn't quite grasp it.
However, looking at the smile on Uchiha Sora's face, her little face couldn't help but flush slightly, and she stammered: "It, it's okay, I, I don't blame you."
After a pause, she showed a shy smile and said: "Uchiha Sora, your Taijutsu is really amazing!"
"Hehe, your Taijutsu isn't bad either! Let's practice together sometime when you're free!" Uchiha Sora replied with a smile.
"Okay!" Uchiha Izumi agreed without even thinking.
The Chunin Teacher on the side watched the two make up so quickly, and it seemed to have developed into a scenario that made him a bit envious, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch.
