Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 19: Ino vs Sasuke

"Just you?" To be honest, even though her temperament had changed significantly, Sasuke still looked down on the current Ino. When he spoke, his expression carried a strong arrogance, a condescending posture.

Ino seemed to be talking to him, but she was actually talking to the Jonin watching around, "I have now mastered a B-rank family secret technique and a C-rank family secret technique, developed the chakra nature transformation and shape transformation of the water attribute, and mastered a C-rank Water Release and a D-rank Water Release."

"Ino also distracted herself to learn Water Release? How long has she been learning it?" Shikaku, who was hiding in the dark, asked Inoichi.

The first chakra attribute of a ninja was the easiest to develop, the second was a bit difficult, and then it became more and more difficult due to the restraint of chakra attributes.

The reason why the people of the Ino-Shika-Cho three families did not develop their own chakra attributes was because it was time-consuming and labor-intensive. In times of war, there was simply no time to deal with chakra attributes. After the war, they were busy with their wives, children, and work, so there was even less time. If they had that spare time, they might as well continue to study the family secret techniques.

In Inoichi is opinion, Ino's study of Water Release was a bit of a neglect of the fundamentals.

Inoichi had also discussed this issue with his daughter, but after realizing that Ino was quite talented in ninjutsu, he did not continue to interfere.

Ninja was a profession of killing. Whether it was using the five basic nature transformations or family secret techniques, the technique that could kill the enemy was a good ninjutsu.

Once the Yamanaka family's secret technique did not have the cooperation of teammates, it basically had no place to use it. It was not bad to learn some five basic nature transformations with strong control ability.

He sighed, and in Shikaku's strange eyes, he began to show off again, "This child is too stubborn. She doesn't listen to anything I say. She wants both nature transformation and shape transformation, and she also wants to learn Water Release ninjutsu. Is that something that can be easily learned? It took her half a month, half a month! You said, if she had this time, how good would it be to practice the family secret techniques? This child doesn't listen at all. Her aptitude is so low, and her mind is so distracted. She does whatever comes to her mind. It really worries me to death."

The Jonin were expressionless: "..."

The Jonin in the dark quieted down, and Sasuke in the classroom sneered, "Idiot, ninjutsu is to be tested in actual combat, not the more ninjutsu you know, the better you are. Even if you know a thousand kinds of ninjutsu, it will only take me half a minute to knock you down."

Kakashi, who was hiding in the dark and pretending to be a passerby, was inexplicably embarrassed. The eyes of several Jonin seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Iruka rushed over. Seeing that they were about to duel, and vaguely discovering that the village higher-ups were paying attention to this place, he couldn't stop them at all and could only take everyone to the playground.

"You are not allowed to attack vital parts such as the eyes and heart. If one side admits defeat, the other side must stop immediately. Do you all understand?"

"Understood."

"Nagging."

The two stood five meters apart.

According to the school rules, Ino raised her right index and middle fingers, pressed her thumb against her ring and little fingers, and first formed a "Confrontation Seal", which meant that she would treat the classmate opposite her as an opponent next.

Sasuke's hostility was not that serious at this time, and he also honestly formed the "Confrontation Seal".

"Start."

As soon as Iruka finished speaking, Sasuke threw three shuriken that flew in a zigzag shape.

His shuriken covered the three directions of Ino's left, middle, and right.

Sasuke and Naruto were both very intelligent in battle. Although one relied on the brain and the other relied on intuition, the process was not important, the result was important. They were both very good at fighting.

As soon as Sasuke made a move, he found Ino's weakness in taijutsu and started to attack fiercely.

"Humph." Ino's insight could not be compared with the Byakugan and Sharingan, but with her excellent perception ability, she still clearly saw the attack route of the three shuriken.

This kind of duel method where both sides stood still, five meters apart, was actually not fair to her, but she didn't say anything and dealt with the situation as it came.

Ino held the kunai in reverse grip, didn't even look at the shuriken flying to the left and right, and just bounced off the shuriken flying towards her face.

"You lost!" Sasuke crossed his arms, his fingers hooked, and the shuriken flying to both sides were pulled by the steel wire, circled halfway, and attacked Ino from the side and rear.

Ino quickly twisted her waist and dodged sideways. She dodged one shuriken, but the other one pierced straight into her back.

"Ah! Ino!" Seeing this scene, Sakura exclaimed.

Before her words fell, she heard a soft "bang". A section of a wooden stake fell on the position where Ino was originally standing. The side of the wooden stake happened to be inserted with the shuriken shot by Sasuke.

Sasuke sneered coolly, "I'll see how much chakra you have left to use."

Ino's voice came from a tree not far away, "That's it? If the consumption is like this, I can still fight you for a whole day."

The next second, the two of them held kunai and collided in mid-air. Ino's strength was not as good as Sasuke's. Her center of gravity moved backward, and she kept retreating, trying to widen the distance.

Sasuke pressed on with every move, fighting extremely fiercely.

"This bastard!" Even though he was confident in his daughter's strength, Inoichi Yamanaka was still a little angry at this time. The Yamanaka family was not good at taijutsu. The family's positioning was support. Sasuke used his male strength advantage to attack fiercely. Ino's situation was very dangerous.

"Don't worry, I see that Ino is very calm. This child should have a countermeasure." Shikaku Nara comforted his old friend.

Actually, he was also thinking in his heart, if his son left the Ino-Shika-Cho combination, would he have the means to face a strong enemy alone? He believed that his son's resourcefulness could turn defeat into victory, but before that, the whole scene would probably be very embarrassing.

Inoichi knew that he was confused because he was concerned, so he forced himself to calm down and continued to watch the battle.

Sasuke attacked fiercely for more than ten moves. Facing his fierce killing moves, Ino was forced to use the Body Replacement Technique twice.

"Do you only know how to dodge? What about your ninjutsu?" Sasuke actually fought quite happily, releasing most of his frustration. If Ino admitted defeat now, he would stop.

Ino had a serious expression, observing the surrounding environment from time to time.

They fought from the school to the riverside outside the school. She had been chased and beaten all the way. Now she should admit defeat? Dream on!

"Sasuke-kun, today I'll teach you a lesson. The name of the lesson is the importance of terrain to ninjas."

Water Release was the easiest to learn and develop, but the shortcomings were obvious. If there was no water in the battle area, using Water Release would require a lot of chakra to create water.

Ino didn't have the chakra and high-level water attribute chakra shape transformation ability of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. She needed water in the natural environment to use Water Release, and this small river, which was very close to the school and often appeared in Naruto and Sasuke's memories, was the target she chose before the battle started.

The river water was driven by chakra. Her expression was solemn, and her hands quickly formed seals in the order of "Ox", "Snake", and "Ram": "Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"
