“Hah!” Expelling a breath full of ambition, Shisui looked at Itachi and smiled. “Yeah, training with you forces me to really put my back into it.”

Itachi looked at his cheerful friend and felt refreshed in both mind and body, as he stood there drenched in sweat.

They had been sparring seriously for three hours or so, as a way for Itachi to vent his anger with his assignments. They had already gone fifteen rounds, with breaks of about three minutes after each one, resulting in six wins for Itachi and nine for Shisui.

The only rule was no sharingan; everything else was fair game. Sharingan was off limits because the visual technique used up a large amount of chakra, and they wanted to spar for as long as possible.

The shuriken they flung at each other clashed in the air, and flew off in some unexpected direction. Neither Itachi nor Shisui watched to see where they went. They were already leaping at each other, and closing the distance between themselves.

“Chi!”

“Hah!”

Their fighting cries blended together.

Their bodies collided in midair, tangled together, and crashed to the ground.

Shisui got to his feet and in position first, and launched a kick at Itachi, who was propped up on one knee. Itachi immediately thrust his right arm out to block it. His field of view shaking with the impact of the kick, he saw his friend quickly weaving signs.

“Fire Style! Great Fireball Technique!” Shisui shouted, and an enormous ball of flames shot out of his mouth.

Itachi stared at the flames streaking toward him, a smile pulling up his lips at the corners.

Just like Shisui …

Itachi was thrilled. He gloated to himself that even among the people of their clan, only his father and Shisui could release a fireball this massive.

Shisui wouldn’t be able to manage a counterattack in time. His defense was slow, too. Direct hit.

“No way!” Shisui cried out at the unexpected result.

The giant ball of flames ripped Itachi into countless pieces, which transformed into a myriad of crows that attacked all at once.

Substitution.

The real Itachi was running around behind Shisui.

Before Shisui could sense his aura and whirl around, the smaller boy had a kunai at his throat.

“So you win, huh,” Shisui said, regretfully.

In the end, they sparred thirty-five times. The result was eleven wins for Itachi, and twenty-four for Shisui.

“You’re beyond genin level already.” Shisui took a swig of water from his canteen. “Your chunin exam being put off again this year?”

“Yeah,” Itachi replied, before tilting his own canteen back to pour cool water into his mouth.

“You said your supervisor jonin was Minazuki Yuki or something, right?”

Itachi nodded silently.

“Is he maybe jealous of you? Maybe he’s not into what a genius you are, so he’s putting off recommending you for the chunin exams?”

“There’s nothing I can do, even if that is what’s going on with him.” There was no point in thinking about Yuki’s thought process in not recommending Itachi. He wouldn’t get to take the chunin exam again this year. That was a fact.

“But I mean, you’re already so—”

“Let’s just forget about it.
