Fight.

"I guess it's time to participate a little, that stupid old man thinks he controls everything here" Sombra, wrapped in the darkness of the room, smiles as he feels the tranquility of Yuu's soul.

"It's time we started acting for real, not like the rest of the stupid people..." he mutters to himself.

...

We are walking towards a secluded place among the forest trees with the sole objective of dueling.

Me walking freely through the branches with Satsuki following behind me.

I have a distracted attitude while Satsuki looks at me cautiously trying to remember my current movements.

Although he seems clueless, the truth is that my mind is working at fast speed.

'I think it's time for me to lose, lately I've enjoyed being superior to Satsuki in many ways, beating him in all the battles we had but...*sigh* now all that will be over, the plot is entering a turning point. turning, the invasion of Konoha is around the corner, Naruko and Satsuki's powers are going to skyrocket and I don't think I can catch up with them, I must start taking precautionary measures, I will lose this battle to get out of their center of Pay attention but that will leave me at a disadvantage. I will no longer be able to have her on my side like it is with Naruko. I must start using the contract properly. When she leaves Konoha I will no longer be able to do so. If she forgets about me then it will be difficult to do anything. with a Satsuki full of resentment, I should be able to counteract that resentment somehow, if I could give her a memorable memory that could make her remember happiness... maybe if I mess her up- no wait, what the hell am I thinking' I shake my head feeling that many sinister thoughts invade my head.

Looking at my thoughts I feel as if the art of conspiracy that was dormant some time ago awakened again, illuminating me with more strength than I ever had in that regard.

If someone had looked at Yuu's face when he was thinking a few moments ago they would have realized that it imperceptibly looks more like the eyes of an old man, more specifically scheming old men like Danzo, Hiruzen, Onoki and so on, not at all the look that a young man under 14 years old would have, he may not be able to match the gaze of those elders in depth but it cannot be denied that it is quite strange.

After a while they reach a partially clear spot among the trees.

"How do you like it here?"

"Anywhere is fine with me"

"Oh, then there's nothing more to say." I slowly get into a battle stance as she stares at me.

Then to her bewilderment he took out a bottle from my ninja bag.

'Shit, I forgot she didn't bring my tools, well nevermind, she wasn't planning on winning anyway, drinking some of this might help me with that...'

I start drinking a couple of drinks before putting it away, immediately feeling the effect.

Outside of her, none of this is noticeable, so for her I have only drunk refreshing water.

Then I raise my hand pointing a kunai that I took out from my inventory while Satsuki concentrated on my action of drinking water.

"Let's go" I start running directly towards her shonen protagonist style.

Satsuki doesn't have time to think about anything else as she approaches me wielding a kunai as well.

She smiled at that foolish decision of his.

'I see that she doesn't learn, eh, I think I should remind her that my strength is greater than the average person.' Even though I said I was going to lose to her, I was never going to make it easy for her.

When we were close to colliding our kunai, a thought suddenly came to mind and I launched my attack with the kunai to tilt my body to the side where moments later a shuriken brushed past my torso.

Without time to worry about that I stood up again to see the Satsuki in front of me explode into a smoke bomb because the shuriken hit it squarely.

I hurriedly turned my body to see Satsuki emerging from the trees.

'When?!' It startled me for a moment but the next instant my mind calmed down again.

I jump, dodging another shuriken that was coming in my direction.

'She's gotten sneaky huh' I drop this thought as I look at the surroundings calculating my route. (Not many are like Yuu who can take advantage of Soru's strength to jump higher, other ninjas couldn't jump that high without having to put an effort)

I infer that he must have changed bodies at some point while he was in deep thought on the way here.

After falling on a branch she jumped forward with pincer tactics, no longer directly.

It seemed the battle had begun long before the fighting did.

With dodge tactics I approach her, who was also coming straight at me.

This time I was prepared in case it was another distraction, I wouldn't be caught off guard again.

She was in a higher position than mine so she took the opportunity to kick downwards, due to the strength she would have that I would be forced to block.

'I wonder where she got the confidence that I'm not going to push my kunai up to pierce her foot...'

But I remember that my kunai fell due to my carelessness and I didn't take out others halfway, maybe she must have thought that she didn't have any more or didn't intend to take out more.

She smiled at the upcoming collision.

'This is getting fun, let's see what tricks he has hidden up his sleeve'

*impact*

My block was perfect but my expression did not show satisfaction for this instead it was surprise, the strength of the kick just now does not match the one she jumped, even if she weighed twice as much that kick would still not be as strong.

I used more force to push her back away from me.

When I fell backwards into a tree, it shook from my fall.

I look under a new gaze towards Satsuki who is before me, a touch of disbelief passing over my face.

'I shouldn't be so strong right now, what happened here, what did I miss...'

Even for my thick skin I have to admit that it was not comfortable to receive that.

Then from the corner of my eye I see that on a tree behind Satsuki there is a large footprint of a foot on the tree, immediately a guess came to mind.

"Wow, so in the end you found a way to control it huh"

"Of course, thanks to you" Satsuki smiles satisfied at my bored expression.

At this point my face becomes gloomy, it is evident that Satsuki managed to master Soru somehow, I don't know how she did it but I just know that I should take things a little more seriously..

As a bearer of such a technique, I am aware of how strong this technique is, although I could not control it well at first, the truth is that lately I learned to master it in a way that did not exploit all its power, that would be a bit inconvenient, on the other hand I learned to take small impulses from this technique, boosting my attacks with up to double and even triple the force.

In general, I always keep this technique hidden along with others to avoid exposing my full abilities, allowing my enemies to underestimate me, even my companions who think they know a lot about me would actually realize that they don't know much about my secret techniques. , hardening is ideal as a slightly rare bloodline since it does not show a very unusual ability, thanks to that the people around me only see my abilities as uncommon which to a certain extent allows me to hide my true power .

In the fight with the bandit boss I was trying to contain a certain amount of my abilities to try to push my body to the limits, although in certain parts the move went wrong and I almost ended up drowning, if I hadn't been careless with those explosives then I would have fought on equal terms with the boss without needing to go crazy.

Just now I remembered that I had taught Satsuki such a technique, I thought that he would never learn its essence since this comes from a very different power system but seeing in front of me I realize that he partially managed to display a similar skill.

He internally cursed the talent and luck of the children of destiny.

'This is a little frustrating, I had direct guidance and I struggled to master it, she didn't even have a path to learn and she has already mastered quite a bit of the technique'

I feel annoyed seeing Satsuki's pretentious smile.

"Do you think you're already above me for matching me in a couple of strokes? I think they've forgotten me lately because I'm not as active as I was before. It seems I should remind you a little of who I am." With a smile I begin to stretch my arms a little.

She pointed forward, pointing directly at him in a provocative gesture.

"I will show you the pinnacle of my recent training"

At this moment the effect of the potion has worn off so I take out my bottle and start drinking in bites to recover the previous state.

Satsuki just huffs.

"We are no longer before, you will see that you are not the only one who improves" Although she says it in a careless tone, the truth is that she has already secretly prepared herself for what comes next, an example of that is her eyes that now shine with the sharingan glow.

The two blades inside her along with her pupil move at high speeds looking towards Yuu.

Yuu doesn't worry about this since in the state she is going to enter she won't need it.

When the spirit is completely transparent then it will be transparent like the environment, there not much can be hidden from it.

'With Observation Haki I can easily read strong intentions like Satsuki's even if I don't concentrate on doing so' Taking this into account I drink more mouthfuls of water feeling that the effect comes very slowly.

Then my eyes half close as if sleep had entered me, the truth is that I have already tried to concentrate on the environment.

The movement of the tree, the leaves, the sounds and even the feeling of the sun hitting my face are so real that I can look at them even if I'm not actually looking at them, although I can't see clearly it's still enough, Satsuki's movements are like a giant moving in a sea, the waves are felt.

'Satsuki has split into a clone that is just to my left, it doesn't seem like she's standing there doing anything' I look up and my eyes meet hers.

"Come on little kitten, let's see how much your claws have grown" she smiled happily.

Satsuki rushes towards me leaving a footprint behind her.

I don't worry about the quick onslaught I'm going to receive, I keep looking forward with a smile.
