In the training ground of the Ninja Academy, students from two classes were gathered around.
Two students were sparring on the field, but their level was very ordinary. Most of the people's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Watergate and Uchiha Yan.
A year ago, the duel between the two of them was much more exciting than the duel between the two of them in the arena.
And it was also in that battle that these students realized the strength of the usually gentle and humble Watergate.
A year had passed. How much had the strength of these two young geniuses improved?
"I really want to see the two of them sparring!"
Many people thought so, even the teacher of Uchiha Yan's class had the same thought.
Uchiha Yan's eyes also glanced at Watergate, but the latter's expression was calm.
"Winner, Takeno Rin!"
At this moment, the winner was decided. It was a fight between two girls, and one of them looked a little depressed. Obviously, she was the loser.
"Make the Seal of Reconciliation!" Cheng Tianben stood in the middle of the two and shouted.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then put their hands together and made the Seal of Reconciliation, the tradition of the Ninja Academy.
"Next match, Uzumaki Shinna Kushina against Chi Ban Yu!"
When Cheng Tianben announced the next match, most of the people who were originally focused on Watergate and Uchiha Yan moved their eyes away.
When Shinna Kushina heard the name of her sparring partner, she slightly raised her beautiful eyebrows, then walked out in big strides.
The gazes that were gathered on her were somewhat evasive, while the eyes of the other party who was called were filled with fear and uneasiness at this moment.
"Cheng Tianben sensei, why me?"
At this time, Chi Ban Yu's expression was one of refusal. He would rather spar with Watergate and Uchiha Yan than with the current Shinna Kushina.
Chi Ban Yu's strength was definitely not weak among his peers, only second to Watergate, Uchiha Yan, Mikoto, and Shinna Kushina.
But for this match, no one thought it would be a close match.
The eyes of those who were focused on Chi Ban Yu were filled with sympathy, and some even sighed for him.
"Hey, are you still a man? It's just sparring, I promise I'll go easy on you."
Although Shinna Kushina said so, she clenched her fists, and the sound of bones rubbing could be faintly heard.
At this time, she had a faint smile on her face, in Chi Ban Yu's eyes, it was the smile of a devil.
"Chi Ban Yu, come to the arena."
Cheng Tianben had no choice but to arrange them together, because no one dared to spar with Shinna Kushina.
Watergate's calm face was now filled with an awkward smile. In the usual sparring classes, Shinna Kushina's sparring partner was either him or Mikoto, but today, it was Chi Ban Yu.
This …
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Chi Ban Yu braced himself and stood on the opposite side of Shinna Kushina.
"Fight, start!"
Following Cheng Tianben's announcement, Shinna Kushina directly swung her fist and rushed towards Chi Ban Yu.
Her long red hair fluttered slightly at this moment.
Chi Ban Yu was scared, but his basic skills were solid. Besides, Shinna Kushina's speed was not as fast as Watergate and Uchiha Yan.
He dared not to take Shinna Kushina's fist head on, only daring to dodge.
However, when he dodged Shinna Kushina's first punch, a sly smile appeared on the latter's delicate little face.
"You've been tricked!"
When Shinna Kushina punched out, she squatted down and made a tripping motion.
Chi Ban Yu didn't expect that Shinna Kushina, who was always aggressive, would play a trick on him. However, his reaction speed was not bad, and he dodged Shinna Kushina's kick. Nevertheless, this directly made him lose his balance, and he staggered back.
At this moment, Shinna Kushina threw a punch straight at him. Chi Ban Yu couldn't dodge at all, so he had to cross his arms and take Shinna Kushina's punch.
"Bang!"
Taking the punch head on, Chi Ban Yu hurriedly stepped back. He lost his balance and sat on the ground.
Next, Shinna Kushina threw another punch. Chi Ban Yu had lost his mobility, so he could only dodge. However, this punch still grazed his face, and then heavily smashed on the ground.
Dust rose from the ground. Chi Ban Yu was so scared that his pupils dilated. If he took that punch head on, he would have fainted.
Then, Shinna Kushina threw a few more punches, all of which grazed Chi Ban Yu's vital parts.
"Oh my God, the Blood Red Pepper is killing people!" Chi Ban Yu shouted, tears almost gushing out of his eyes.
Those who were watching seemed to have foreseen Chi Ban Yu's ending from the very beginning, and their eyes were filled with pity.
Blood Red Pepper, this was the title Shinna Kushina earned in the past year.
Due to her slightly violent style, she was often too excited to control her strength during simple sparring sessions. Added with her bright red long hair, this was how she got her name.
Except for Watergate and Mikoto, no one could withstand her "fiery" attacks.
"Stop!"
Cheng Tianben didn't expect that Chi Ban Yu would be defeated so quickly by Shinna Kushina. He hurriedly stopped Chi Ban Yu before he suffered any serious injuries. Shinna Kushina curled her lips and had to give up.
She ran to Cheng Tianben and said, "Mr. Cheng Tianben, this is not a sparring session. My opponent is too weak, I can't make any progress."
"Can you change my opponent?" Shinna Kushina said immediately.
Cheng Tianben wiped the cold sweat on his face, then looked at Watergate in the crowd and said, "Watergate, then you can practice with Shinna Kushina again."
Watergate was about to respond, but Shinna Kushina said again, "It's boring to always make me practice with Watergate. Since today I'm practicing with the students of Class 3, why not let him be my opponent?"
Shinna Kushina pointed at Uchiha Yan in front of Class 3.
Regarding Shinna Kushina's chili-like personality, Cheng Tianben was helpless. Although Shinna Kushina was unruly, her request was not excessive.
Everyone's expression became somewhat expectant. Between the Blood Red Pepper and Uchiha Yan, who was stronger and who was weaker?
However, Watergate and Mikoto's expression became serious. They knew that Shinna Kushina was deliberately provoking them.
Obviously, she was still holding a grudge about what happened a year ago.
"I refuse."
Uchiha Yan said lightly. His attention was not on Shinna Kushina at all.
"You bastard!"
Shinna Kushina clenched her fists and was about to rush up, but was stopped by Cheng Tianben.
"Since the opponent refuses, I declare this match invalid. You should leave as soon as possible. There are still students behind you who have not practiced yet."
At the end of his speech, Cheng Tianben's voice became a little heavy. Shinna Kushina did not dare to disobey her teacher. She glared at Uchiha Yan with her beautiful eyes and walked back.
"Shinna Kushina, you haven't made a peace seal with Chi Ban Yu yet!"
Cheng Tianben said again. Shinna Kushina had no choice but to turn back to the field and make a peace seal with the tired Chi Ban Yu.
"Hey, what's so great about that? I'll find a chance to beat that guy up!"
Returning to Mikoto and Watergate's side, Shinna Kushina puffed up her cheeks angrily. She looked so cute that the two could only look at each other and smile.
"Well, don't be so stubborn anymore. Don't embarrass Cheng Tianben sensei." Mikoto gently advised Shinna Kushina.
At this moment, the name list of the next group of sparring partners was announced by Cheng Tianben.
"Next match, Uchiha Yan against Uchiha Mikoto!"
