Chapter 13 : Training with Itachi
[Training Ground Ten – Early Morning]
Haruto arrived just after sunrise, only to see Itachi and Sasuke already deep into training.
Itachi was calmly instructing, "Sasuke, you're relying too much on aiming. A true shinobi must be able to throw kunai from any angle, in any situation."
Without even glancing, Itachi casually grabbed a handful of kunai and let them fly in rapid succession.
—Clink. Clink. Clink.—
The blades curved unnaturally mid-air, ringing through the trees as they whirled around, forming a crisscross pattern that locked a training log in place with rope. The sheer precision and flow made Haruto pause.
Haruto thought, Even though I've seen him do this before... it still gives me chills. That's a genius for you.
"Big brother... you're amazing."
Haruto approached with a smile. "Morning Itachi-senpai, Morning Sasuke."
Itachi nodding slightly, "You're here. Sasuke—keep practicing."
Turning to Haruto, his expression grew sharper.
