Uchiha Akihime VS Senju Nawaki

Hearing Akihime's voice, Nawaki snapped out of his pleasant fantasies and declared to her with a serious expression, "Give it your all, or... I'll let you taste defeat!"

"Give it my all?"

Akihime tilted her head, looking down at Nawaki with a disdainful expression, as if confirming what he said.

"That's right, give it your all!"

Nawaki nodded. As a member of the Senju Clan, he wasn't afraid of the Uchiha. His dream was to become Hokage, a man who would inherit the will of his grandfather and great-uncle. He wanted to challenge the Uchiha at her full power and defeat her fair and square, so that the name of the Senju Clan would once again resonate throughout Konoha!

This was Nawaki's most sincere thought.

But in Akihime's eyes, Nawaki was underestimating her. Even that 'monster' Hyuga Yuzuru hadn't said anything so direct about her using her full power. Who did this 'ordinary' member of the Senju Clan, who came out of nowhere, think he was to be so arrogant?

"Senju-senpai, then I won't hold back!"

Akihime said with a fake smile, speaking to Nawaki with utmost seriousness.

"Mm!"

Nawaki also nodded solemnly, then focused intently on Akihime.

The moment Nawaki responded, Akihime used taijutsu far surpassing her peers to quickly close the distance between them, her speed so great that she left afterimages in her wake.

"Take this!"

Water Release: Water Shotgun!

Nawaki also acted the instant Akihime moved, quickly completing his practiced ninjutsu. He spread his hands forward, and a barrage of water bullets scattered from his palms, filling almost all the space in front of him. With this kind of all-encompassing ninjutsu, he could definitely push Akihime back!

However, to Nawaki's surprise, Akihime's afterimages continued to flicker in his field of vision, and his proud Water Release ninjutsu didn't seem to touch even the hem of her clothes!

And in those brief seconds, Akihime's figure had gotten even closer to him, as if she hadn't been affected by Nawaki's Water Release ninjutsu at all.

"Damn it!

Earth Release: Earth Wave!

"

Nawaki used ninjutsu again. After completing the hand seals, he slammed his hands on the ground, and the hard training ground instantly turned soft, undulating like a carpet under Nawaki's control, like waves on the sea.

"This should limit your speed!"

Nawaki muttered to himself with a confident expression, but when he looked up at the training ground again, he suddenly lost sight of Akihime.

"Senpai, are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out abruptly behind Nawaki, startling him. When he turned around, he saw Akihime giving him a fake smile, with one foot already posed to kick.

"Wait..."

Nawaki's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, a small foot had already kicked him in the face. Don't let the fact that the owner of this foot was only six years old fool you, because the force behind it was no less than that of an adult, sending Nawaki flying forward in a 'dog eating dirt' posture, sliding a distance across the training ground, his face and mouth covered in dead grass and dust, looking utterly pathetic.

"Hiss..."

Outside the field, whether they were lower-grade students or upper-grade students, they all gasped when they saw this scene. If Nawaki didn't have the physique of the Senju Clan, he would definitely have been kicked to death by that Uchiha!

Far away in the Hokage's office, Tsunade, seeing this scene, was about to rush over in a fit of anger, her protective appearance causing Jiraiya, who had just been pried off the wall, to instinctively stick to the wall again, fearing to provoke Tsunade's bad mood.

Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped her. Otherwise, with her temper, she might have vented her anger on Uchiha Akihime, which would have been difficult to deal with. After all, Tsunade was not only a Jonin of the village, but also the granddaughter of the First Hokage. Such bullying of a new generation Uchiha would likely cause dissatisfaction among the Uchiha Clan...

"Is this all the Senju Clan has?"

After kicking Nawaki away, Akihime immediately followed up, placing one foot halfway on Nawaki's back, her tone filled with doubt and incomprehension.

"Pui, pui, pui..."

Nawaki spat out the dead grass and dust in his mouth. He felt like half of his face instantly swelled up a lot, and his head was dizzy, as if he had suffered a concussion. But when he heard the provocative words of this Uchiha, he was instantly filled with fighting spirit, wanting to get up and fight Akihime again, but the force on his back made him like a 'turtle flipped on its back', unable to get up no matter how hard he tried!

"Ootani-sensei, can you announce the results?"

Akihime asked Ootani Yuuto, who was not far away.

Ootani Yuuto looked at Nawaki, who was being trampled under Akihime's feet and unable to break free, and then announced the results directly.

"Uchiha Akihime, wins!"

Hearing the announced results, Akihime immediately released her foot from Nawaki's back, and the latter looked at Akihime with a dissatisfied expression.

"I was careless this time, but I will definitely defeat you next time!"

Nawaki finished speaking and left the place directly. After all, failing in front of so many younger students was a very embarrassing thing.

"It seems the Senju Clan is nothing more than this."

Akihime said to Yuzuru after returning to her original position, as if only he was her 'arch-rival'.

Yuzuru didn't bother with this 'brat', and continued to close his eyes to rest, but Kageka Maple, who was beside him, smiled and said to Akihime:

"Congratulations on your victory, Akihime-san."

"Compared to that Senju Clan guy, I'd like to have a good match with you. I'm very interested in your ability."

Akihime narrowed her eyes, staring at Kageka Maple, looking extremely serious.

"It would be my honor to fight with Akihime-san."

Kageka Maple still had a sweet smile on her face, but in Akihime's eyes, it was like an annoying fake smile.

"It seems that your ability has indeed given you a lot of confidence and courage. Normally, you wouldn't dare to talk to me in this tone."

Akihime stroked her chin, slowly speaking. Since when did this inconspicuous 'invisible person' dare to challenge her 'authority' so much?

Thinking of this, Akihime subconsciously looked towards Yuzuru. Could it be because of him?

"People always have to grow. Today's me is definitely different from yesterday's me. Otherwise, if I never change, wouldn't life be too boring?"

Kageka Maple suddenly said something so philosophical, her 'old-fashioned' demeanor was very much like Hyuga Yuzuru.

"Akihime, do you feel the same way?"
