NovelEnglishChapter 681: Taijutsu Training… Or…
The students of Class A were brought to the training field for their regular taijutsu training, and as usual, currently, they were either warming up their bodies or thinking of who to carry out their training against.
It has already been announced that at the end of this month, the academy will have an assessment to test the taijutsu prowess of all the students, so all the children were nervous and serious about it.
What happened after the previous assessment has not been forgotten by them.
The results of the previous assessment were pasted on the academy’s notice board allowing all the students in the academy as well as the villagers to know everyone’s scores.
The fact that Rock Lee scored last, and the fact that he couldn’t even perform such a simple Jutsu is now a well-known fact throughout the village.
Rock Lee was mocked and made fun of for his last rank… His experience was very tragic, and no one seems to want to go through that same experience.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRanking last in the assessments has become a form of punishment that no one wants to get, that’s why everyone is extremely serious about the assessments.
Whether it is rambunctious Uzumaki Naruto, extremely lazy Nara Shikamaru, or the self-willed princess Shion, none of them dared to underestimate the academy’s assessment and did all they could to train for it in order to perform better in it for they feared the consequences.
Standing in one corner of the training field, Neji swept his eyes across the training field… He was searching for a suitable training partner.
Taijutsu is originally his specialty, and recently he has been carrying out intensive training and has made progress by leaps and bounds so there is hardly anyone among the current trainees who can match him. This left Neji in a bit of a dilemma as he couldn’t think of any suitable training part–… and just then, his gaze met with another kid who had the same thoughts in his mind, “Sasuke?”
Seeing Sasuke also looking at himself, Neji thought to himself, ‘Train with Sasuke?’
Although Neji felt that this wasn’t the time to train with Sasuke, seeing that there was no other option before him, he didn’t mind it… Sasuke is indeed the best training partner he can have, so without thinking too much, he activated his Byakugan… intentions were clear…
Seeing Sasuke coming after him, Neji asked him, “Why are you following me?”
Sasuke questioned back, “I should be the one asking the question here… where do you think you are going? Don’t tell me you did this on purpose because you are afraid of losing?”
Neji said, “Me and run away from you? Oh please Sasuke… You should know that when it comes to pure Taijutsu you are no match for me…”
Sasuke snorted, “When did you start assuming that I am no match for you in Taijutsu?”
Neji said, “I didn’t assume anything… it’s a fact!”
Sasuke said, “Well I say, it’s not!”
Neji shook his head, “You can’t deny what’s true.”
“I can deny whatever I want, I am an Uchiha…” Sasuke said, then added, while activating his Sharingan, “And if you have any problem with that then why don’t you prove me wrong?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeji didn’t give a reply… instead he came to a sudden stop.
Sasuke smirked, “What… you afraid now?”
“Shhh…!” Neji said, “Be quiet… and hide!” and tried to look ahead while hiding behind the tree.
Seeing Neji’s actions, Sasuke finally felt that something was up… he quieted down and while hiding himself behind the same tree, he asked in a low voice, “Can you please explain what’s going on? Earlier you were running, and now you are hiding… from what? I didn’t see a there!”
Hearing Sasuke’s words, Neji was taken aback, “You can’t see that?”
Sasuke asked doubtfully, “See what?”
Neji became silent… and after a while of thinking, he realized, “It makes sense… there is a barrier around… this is why you can’t see it with your Sharingan, but I can with my Byakugan…!”
Sasuke’s face also turned serious, and he questioned, “Explain to me clearly… what exactly are you seeing?”
