Chapter 58: Battle With Itachi!
'Modification?'
When he heard the word Aoba said, Itachi's face instantly darkened. He probably recalled the 'pranks' that Shisui had repeatedly played during this period of time.
'So this was the source of it!'
Itachi's gaze suddenly became somewhat unkind.
"Don't look at me like that. Shisui and I both feel that you have lived a little too excessively. There are some things that clearly have nothing to do with you, so why must you impose the responsibility on yourself?"
"In addition, I guess that you are not here to invite me to dinner this time. You are here to clear up the relationship. In the future, we will not meet again, so as to avoid implicating me. Is what I said the last time right?"
Itachi's gaze lowered slightly. He... was silent.
Seeing this, Aoba, who was moving his body, could not help but stop.
"I knew it... but forget it. Do you remember what I said before I left? I have something to ask of you."
"Yes, as long as I can do it," Itachi replied firmly.
"It's good that you remember. The thing I want to ask of you is very simple. Let's have a duel between men." Aoba's gaze instantly became extremely serious!
"What? Duel? No..."
Itachi subconsciously wanted to refuse. It was not that he looked down on Aoba, but with his current strength, he could even directly graduate Ninja Cademy. If Sharingan was added....
Itachi kept shaking his head.
After seeing Itachi's reaction, Aoba was not angry. He knew that he could not be Itachi's opponent at the moment, but he still suggested it. Naturally, he had his reasons.
So he smiled and said, "Do you know what I said to Shisui that day?"
Itachi shook his head again.
"I said that if I guessed your choice, I would beat you up! For this reason, I trained hard every day.... Shisui told me that you are very strong. You are not someone that Uchiha can compare to. I believe this. But your choice makes me very unhappy! So let us use this method to gamble on fate once."
"Fate...?" Itachi muttered to himself in confusion.
"I will challenge you with my most confident physical skill. If you lose to me or use an ability outside of physical skills, I will win! And if I win, please don't worry about anything for me. I will fight for what I deserve!"
"But if I lose, I will respect your choice and pretend that you have not come today. I will turn a blind eye to you in the future."
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already broken through more than ten moves.
In terms of speed and strength, although Itachi had the upper hand, in terms of skill, [Hakuda], which had already been upgraded to Level 3, had shown extraordinary brilliance in Aoba's hands!
Yes, that's right!
After more than a month of hard training, Aoba had successfully upgraded [Hakuda] to Level 3, saving him from the investment of three beginner skill cards.
And this Level 3 [Hakuda], Level 3 [Poor Quality Self Healing Body], and Level 3 [Hardening] were the source of his confidence to challenge!
Moreover, after more than a month of special training, his physical strength reserves had reached a new height, enough to support him to complete this duel!
He could win!
After feeling that Itachi's physical fitness was not much stronger than his, Aoba's eyes became more and more fiery, and an imposing aura called 'Battle Will' began to rise from his body!
Almost instantly, he completed the counter-suppression, and the more he fought, the crazier he became!
On the other hand, Itachi, who did not use all his strength, began to have some difficulty in resisting.
Firstly, his preconceived concept was still stuck in his understanding of Aoba a long time ago, so he was caught off guard by Aoba who attacked with all his strength.
Secondly, his heart was very confused. It was far from Aoba's firm belief and the thought of' I must-win ', so much so that there was a lot of hesitation that should not appear in the connection of the moves.
Lastly, he completely did not expect that Aoba had become so much stronger, which gave him a great shock!
In a confrontation, especially a physical battle between fists and flesh, even a trace of hesitation would be regarded as a flaw, which would be infinitely magnified.
Aoba did not hesitate because his opponent was Itachi, so he immediately seized the time difference in Itachi's mentality. After aiming at Itachi, he paused and instantly completed a handstand. He used his feet to block Itachi's kick.
This kind of 'irregular' body movement immediately stunned Itachi, and at the same time, he also lost his target.
At this moment, Itachi, who was on one foot, immediately suffered a follow-up attack from Aoba.
In just a moment, Itachi lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.
Itachi shouted in his heart: "Not good!"
At the same time, he stretched out his hands, preparing to jump away the moment he landed.
However, how could Aoba, who had finally seized this opportunity, give up so easily!
He saw Aoba turn over and stand on the ground again, aiming at Itachi's defenseless chest. At the same time, a layer of very hard horns immediately wrapped around his entire arm!
