"The probability of winning for nothing should be greater."
After thinking for a moment, he gave his own answer.
That kind of kunai that can change direction
It should be the trump card of the little devil named Sasuke, the same trick he used in the manga during the bell-test-style training with shuriken: using a hidden shuriken or a ricochet angle to alter trajectory.
But now it seems
This trump card has clearly lapsed.
Then it's up to whomever can come up with a workable solution first.
As for this, it depends on experience!
Compared to a child like Sasuke who has lived in a honeypot since childhood as the Uchiha clan's pride,
Shiro has experienced far more,
His experience is naturally richer!
"In that case, then I'll bet on Sasuke."
"If you lose, you have to treat the other person to Ichiraku ramen."
Chiya said with a smile.
Zabuza: "..."
...
On the training ground,
Neither Shiro nor Sasuke threw kunai again.
They both seemed to understand
Ordinary throws would simply be impossible to hit.
"If you want to hit the target on Izumi-sensei an Uchiha who awakened her Sharingan early in the manga unless you can predict her next move..."
"But that's simply not something I can do now."
"Since it is impossible to predict, then it has to be like this..."
Haku's mind flew rapidly, and he quickly formed a plan.
He moved at once,
And with a whisper of metal, he threw out a handful of kunai!
Seeing the flying kunai, Uchiha Izumi was just about to shift her weight and dodge,
When Haku actually followed with a second kunai!!
The direction was to the left of the first kunai's path,
And there was no precise aim he had thrown it entirely casually!
In this case,
If Uchiha Izumi tried to move left, she would definitely be grazed or cut!
But fortunately,
She still had a variety of options!
Aside from moving left,
She could also move to the right,
Or choose to jump or crouch!
But soon,
Uchiha Izumi found that her thinking was too simple.
Because Haku had already thrown out the third and fourth kunai.
Their positions were above and below the trajectory of the first throw!
In this way,
Jumping or crouching wouldn't work,
And if she didn't want to be injured or be struck directly by the first kunai stabbing toward her chest, she could only move to the right.
But,
It wasn't difficult to see even a fool could understand
Moving to the right was obviously a trap!
"When there is only one choice left in front of you,"
he thought,
"Then it is not difficult to predict your next move!"
Haku said inwardly.
At the same time, he drew the fifth kunai from his weapon pouch!!
When the first kunai shot out just now,
Uchiha Izumi had many options.
But Haku immediately eliminated most of them,
Leaving her with only one remaining path.
So
What the latter would do next
Was already perfectly clear!
Sasuke also understood Shiro's thoughts at this time, so when he saw that Uchiha Izumi showed signs of moving to the right, he immediately took a step ahead of Shiro and threw out the kunai in his hand using the same sharp wrist-flick he used in the manga during the Land of Waves training sessions!
"Hmph... Nice approach. But alas, it will be me who wins! "
Just now, it was that little white-faced boy who ruined his good timing.
Now, he could finally take revenge!
The next moment,
Bang~
The kunai that Sasuke threw was headed straight toward Uchiha Izumi's chest exactly like the feint-and-redirect technique he once watched his father demonstrate.
"Win..."
But Sasuke didn't even have time to rejoice.
Boom!!
Uchiha Izumi's body burst into white smoke and turned into a piece of wood that clattered to the ground.
Substitution Technique?!!
Sasuke was immediately dumbfounded.
"What a shame!"
"It's obviously just a little bit worse!"
"..."
The students on the side looked disappointed, some even groaning. They'd already seen Sasuke pull off a near-hit earlier, and Izumi's Sharingan reflexes remained too sharp.
Shiro was much calmer in comparison and muttered, "Even if you can predict her next move, you still can't hit like this..."
"It's a good idea, but unfortunately, still a little too slow."
Uchiha Izumi appeared perched on a thick tree branch not far away, one hand on her hip, laughing lightly. Her movement resembled the clean, fluid motion the manga often depicted for skilled Uchiha.
So that was it
Once again, the situation had reached an impasse.
...
Time soon slipped toward evening.
Uchiha Izumi glanced at her watch and said, "School lets out in half an hour. If you two still can't land a hit before then, it has to be considered a loss for both of you."
"Abominable!"
Sasuke slammed his fist against a tree trunk, unwillingness written all over his face.
He really couldn't think of anything now.
Shiro was also thinking hard, recalling countless battle patterns from his past life experience and the way ice mirrors required predictive timing.
Finally—twenty minutes later
Shiro suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he quickly walked in front of Sasuke and whispered something into his ear.
After Sasuke listened, he glanced at Shiro in surprise, then nodded sharply.
"It seems you two have already thought of some good method."
Uchiha Izumi said with a smile while stretching her shoulders and rotating her neck, the classic Uchiha warm-up gesture.
Yikes!
Shiro didn't answer her. He replied instead with a volley of thrown kunai!
Uchiha Izumi's light body twisted gracefully, dodging all the kunai with the same ease she had shown earlier when avoiding the students' attacks.
"Whew..."
Sasuke took a deep breath. His eyes focused intensely his chakra control sharpening his aim and at the exact moment he found his opening, he threw out two kunai in rapid succession!
"Two shots in a row..."
"Is that the trick again?"
Uchiha Izumi instantly raised her vigilance. It was the same technique Sasuke used during earlier classes: the airborne collision that altered trajectory.
Sure enough
Clang!!
A sharp collision occurred in mid-air, forcing one of the kunai to change direction and shoot toward Uchiha Izumi!
"The same trick doesn't work on me~"
Uchiha Izumi chuckled and flashed to the side, fully confident her Sharingan reading the motion clearly.
Seeing that the kunai was about to fail...
But at that moment
A third kunai suddenly struck!
With a crisp metallic ring, it hit the redirected kunai and forced it to change direction a second time
What??
Two consecutive redirects?!!!
Faced with the kunai that changed direction again and arced toward her chest, Uchiha Izumi's expression finally shifted!
Her toes hadn't even touched the ground yet, she'd jumped mid-dodge and she couldn't use a second substitution in that split second... her movement options were sealed!
Finally
Boom!
The kunai struck the target on Uchiha Izumi's chest!
Her body froze in place.
Everyone held their breath for several seconds.
And after confirming that Uchiha Izumi did not suddenly turn into wood again
The cheers erupted like a storm…
