Another Battle with Itachi
"I don't know why, when I was at home, my father, Minato Namikaze, never asked me what Ninjutsu I used during the combat test."
Xuan Ye was very puzzled by this. Logically speaking, his father, Minato Namikaze, should have known that he had used Ninjutsu that did not belong to Konoha, but he did not ask this question.
"Could it be that my father, Minato Namikaze, was afraid of putting me in a difficult position, so he didn't ask what Ninjutsu I used?" This thought came to Xuan Ye's mind, and he became more and more convinced that this answer was correct.
"That's right, that must be it. Father must not have asked because he didn't want to put me in a difficult position. After all, I obtained this Ninjutsu from the system. I really don't know how to explain how I got it."
"Should I just tell my father that I got this Ninjutsu from the system? But my father, Minato Namikaze, wouldn't know what the system is. Even if I explained it, he probably wouldn't believe me and would think I was fooling him."
Soon, the ninja instructor for Xuan Ye's class arrived at the training ground. At this time, many students were already training there, working hard to improve their strength. Among them, Itachi Uchiha was the most hardworking, putting in several times more effort than before.
The ninja instructor gathered the students in the training ground again, but this time Xuan Ye did not go. Instead, he lay down on the grass and closed his eyes to try and stop thinking.
Xuan Ye was afraid that if he started thinking about things, he would think of things that made him uncomfortable again.
All the students gathered in front of the ninja teacher, including Itachi Uchiha. However, the ninja teacher still felt that someone was missing. After looking around carefully, he found that the missing person was Genya Namikaze.
The ninja teacher looked towards a large tree in the distance, and sure enough, Xuan Ye was lying under the tree he often slept under, resting with his eyes closed.
The ninja teacher was about to get angry, but when he thought of Xuan Ye's identity and his strength that was beyond his Xuan Ye, he immediately backed down.
"Forget it! Forget it! Let's just leave that kid Xuan Ye alone. Anyway, he's already so strong now, and he's the son of the Fourth Hokage. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. Let's just leave it at that."
After thinking for a while, the ninja teacher's anger subsided. He then spoke to the large group of students standing in front of him about some necessary matters, such as the importance of training hard, the upcoming combat tests, and the need to pay attention to safety during training. Although the ninja teacher was very long-winded, the students below listened very attentively.
After speaking, the ninja teacher no longer stayed among the students. Instead, like Xuan Ye, he casually found a large tree near the students, lay down on the grass, half-closed his eyes, and occasionally looked at the students in the distance, his eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.
Under the instruction of their ninja instructors, the students in the training ground took some weights and put them on before beginning their intense training.
However, some students lacked willpower and couldn't persevere for long during the training. As time went by, only a handful of them persisted.
However, Xuan Ye believed that these few individuals would achieve great things in the future. Even if someone lacked talent, it didn't matter; as long as they persevered, they would definitely reap great rewards.
Time passed by, and at noon, Xuan Ye ate a little something before lying down on the grass again, feeling the occasional breeze, and his restless mood gradually subsided.
Soon it was almost evening again, and the Ninja Academy was about to let out for the day. Xuan Ye had planned to stay a little longer before going home, but at that moment Itachi Uchiha suddenly walked over from afar.
Itachi Uchiha looked at Xuan Ye expressionlessly and said, "Xuan Ye, let's fight again! I want to test the difference between us once more."
Itachi Uchiha Genya Namikaze, then stood up. "I have no objection. Since you want to fight me again, then let's get started!"
After reaching an agreement, the two found a relatively open space and began their second battle with Xuan Ye.
Just after Xuan Ye and Itachi Uchiha left, the ninja teacher gathered the students again. He noticed that two people were missing, but he didn't feel much emotion or anything. After saying a few simple words, he dismissed the students.
At the site where Xuan Ye and Itachi Uchiha were fighting, a large group of students walked over. These students were not Xuan Ye's classmates and did not look familiar; they must have been from other classes.
Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha and his eyes, the students exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, isn't that Uchiha clan Itachi Uchiha, the genius of the Uchiha clan?"
"I've long heard that this Itachi Uchiha is an extraordinary genius, and I've heard that he has already mastered Ninjutsu."
"I don't know who Itachi Uchiha is fighting, but since he's confident enough to fight Itachi Uchiha, he must be quite strong. This is going to be a good show."
Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha, the crowd that had gathered around began to murmur amongst themselves.
Hearing the group's discussion from a distance, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but show a bitter expression. "You all only know that I'm a genius and that I'm very powerful, but you don't know how powerful this guy in front of me really is. His strength is at least twice that of mine."
Suddenly, amidst the others' discussion, Itachi Uchiha launched the first attack. Itachi Uchiha suddenly rushed towards Xuan Ye at top speed, a speed that appeared extremely fast to the onlookers.
However, in Xuan Ye's eyes, Itachi Uchiha's speed was merely very slow. Although Itachi Uchiha's speed was close to that of Genin, that was all. Xuan Ye had absolutely no interest in such speed.
"Alright! Since Itachi wants to fight me again, then I'll respect your decision and defeat you decisively once more."
This time, Xuan Ye didn't intend to use Ninjutsu; he only used his physical strength, charging towards Itachi at a speed slightly faster than Itachi Uchiha's.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Two figures with similar speeds collided. Xuan Ye casually pressed down on Itachi Uchiha's left foot as he kicked out, while Itachi Uchiha barely managed to block Xuan Ye's punch.
The difference in skill was immediately apparent. Itachi Uchiha realized that his fighting skills were inferior to Xuan Ye's, but the group of students watching did not notice. Instead, they thought the two were evenly matched and that this battle would be very exciting.
