Deturance
3 Years later…..
"Tobi Sarutobi class 1-A" the announcer continued to rattle off as kids began to separate into different classes.
'So I'm in the same class as him, Itachi Uchiha, the only other canon recognisable name is Hana Inuzka, well at least I'll have competition even if I can't currently compete with him.' our protagonist thought as they entered their classroom and got seated.
'Back window prefers not to be upfront, and apparently so does he' Tobi thought as Itachi sat next to him.
"Attention students, today we will be going over what you will learn over the next year…..
3 days later…..
"Itachi and Tobi take the stand, you will be sparing against each other first, both of you being from primarily fighting clans should know the gist of things." the teacher stated as both kids made it to the front of the class and got into their stances, both of them having learned it early in life. "Ok rules, 1. Taijutsu only 2. When I sat stop you stop and finally 3. No going for the kill, now that's over with, fight" he finished off with a hand coping motion as both kids charged as soon as he finished.
I charged at Itachi trying to catch him off guard with him seemingly doing the same as I rotated my hips and aimed a gut punch; he swerved to negate the hit and kicked me in the jaw, sending me back to my original spot.
I stared on acknowledging I lost that interaction knowing I can't wait for him to attack I charge again, throwing fast jabs and every few a strong right as itachi dodges and peries them not letting them overwhelm him, until he leg sweeps as I jump up and prepare to block the upcoming high kick.
"Thud" as his kick Iands I grab it and pull him in close with a right hook that he dodges and hits him with a passing elbow as we jump apart.
We rush forward clashing forearms as he slightly gets pushed off he jumps back, seeing my slight strength advantage and his retreat I rush in trying to catch him off guard he stands his guard as we start trading blows with him almost having a visible speed advantage but, as I guessed earlier his arms are getting bruised from our clashes and he shys from long lasting attacks opposed to fast actions.
'Hes weaker than me' i think as one punch slips past and nails me in the face as i see an opening his feet are close together as I aim my le- "STOP" the instructor says as we both jump back "i've seen enough from both of you, good job next fight Han_"
Later that day at the hokage tower
"You already recommend Itachi Uchiha and Tobi Sarutobi for graduation," an old short man with kanji for 'fire' on his hat said, talking to the teacher of both students.
"Respectfully Hokage, I tested them both with last years' graduation written test, and may I say they both passed with flying colors. Mixed with today's spar, I'm confident they are more qualified than most of last years' graduates." The chunin started with confidence, trying to persuade a seemingly impossible thing to his superior.
"3 months" the fire shadow stated as he blew out smoke from his pipe
"Huh"
"3 Months until retakes and early graduation takes place, they will be able to take the tests then" the old hokage stated as e seemed troubled in his thoughts
"Thank you hokage sama, you seem troubled is there anything wrong" the chunin asked concerned for the old man
'I hope Biwaku will forgive me up there' he thinks as he remembers his recently late wife "no your excused" he mentions as he looked out the window at the fourth hokage's face "' oh how I wish you still lived.
