Ebisu froze for a moment.
The students behind him had already seized the chaos to start breaking out. Only four Anbu remained to block them, and those nearly hundred Ninja Academy students were no pushovers.
In an instant, they were locked in a brawl.
Clang, clang, clang!!
Kunai clashed without pause.
Ebisu's scalp prickled. "These guys really are... a pain to deal with~"
Ebisu had no time to worry about all that. He could only handle his own opponents first. He was taking on one two-tomoe user and one one-tomoe user alone. Though he felt little pressure, he was certainly drawing his fair share of their fire.
At any rate, he wasn't slacking off.
Since he hadn't gotten a chance to fight Uchiha Gua, sparring with these two Uchiha in front of him was satisfying enough for Ebisu.
"Come on, you two brats."
Ebisu flung them away, then leaped back a little over two meters. He took a stance, extended one hand, and beckoned to them.
Izumi and Itachi exchanged a glance.
"Let's go!"
Itachi nodded to Izumi.
They had no choice. Gua was taking on two black-clad shinobi alone, while the two of them only had to face one. They had no reason to chicken out!
Ebisu grew a little excited.
These two count as Uchiha geniuses, no matter how you look at it.
Once they grow up, I'll have something to brag about.
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi-pretty badass, right? Still not as good as me, though. Back then, I took on one with each hand! What a swagger!!
In an instant, Ebisu was trading blows with Itachi and Izumi.
Clang, clang, clang!
Clang, clang, clang!
Their kunai collided again and again in midair. Ebisu fought on both sides, looking every bit the formidable fighter!
Meanwhile,
Gua was
