Sato vs Yugito
🕑 Added 2023-09-07 06:48:01 +0000 UTC"I will not slack off in my training."
"You can rest assured."
Sato obviously knew how important it was to follow this schedule.
He wasn't about to waste time when he knew this world was about to face extinction in 13 years tops.
He will train every single day without fail, even if he lacks in Chakra amount he will make up for it with amazing control.
Talent alone wasn't going to stop him from becoming the strongest Ninja alive.
"Good."
"I knew you wouldn't give up that easily."
Smiling widely Yugito and vigorously rubbed Sato's hair.
Sato's desire to improve lit up a flame in Yugito's heart as well.
She also wanted to improve, she wanted to become a perfect jinchuriki.
'It's time I talk to Killer B."
Yugito thought while putting her hair behind her ear.
She didn't like having much contact with others, but she will make an exception this time.
Before she goes out and searches for big cats to observe, she will put her pride down and take notes from Killer B.
It was hard for a person as proud as her to do that, but she wanted to become better for her brother.
"Sato, is the pain after chakra extraction gone?"
Yugito asked warmly.
Sato felt around his stomach, took a few deep breaths to feel any problems.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
The pain was gone, this was expected, it was just a minor strain.
Yugito got up from her place and asked Sato to come along.
"Now I will test your abilities."
"Your chakra affinity, your taijustu skill, your chakra control, let's check what you are naturally good at."
"This will help us identify what you should foucus on later."
Sato nodded and walked out of the house with Yugito.
This was a test to find his speciality, different Ninjas have different specialities.
It's like how Minato's speciality was his reaction time and Naruto's speciality was his immense chakra.
"Get ready."
Yugito took her position a bit far away from Sato and prepared herself.
"Now you will attack me, come at me with the intention to kill."
"Don't hold anything back."
Sato nodded, he wasn't going to act like a hypocrit and pretend he can't do it.
He will do exactly what he was told to do, this was the best way to measure his ability.
"Hah!"
Sato rushed forward and threw a punch.
*Thump*
A punch which Yugito easily deflected.
Balancing himself Sato tried to kick her knees.
*Bang*
And immediately received a kick to the chest.
*Thump*
Making him fly into the air and fall face first on the ground.
"Get up."
Yugito said as calmly as possible, normally people would show fear after suddenly being attacked by someone they trusted.
But Sato spat out dirt, pushed himself off the ground and stood back up.
*Huff*
Taking a few deep breaths to ease the pain, Sato crouched down and started moving towards Yugito once more.
Yugito gave a small smile seeing Sato change his strategy.
'He is hurt but he refused to let that bother him.'
'He didn't even ask why I suddenly attacked instead of defending.'
Most ninja's panic when something unexpected happens in the middle of a fight.
But there are a select few who don't, no matter what happens they remain steady, these are the Ninja's who usually make it big.
Mentality was a big factor in determining the fighting ability of a ninja.
A Jonin in the body of a genin will always win against a real genin.
"Good attempt, try again."
"Learn to use your limited strength in the most efficient way, do whatever you need to defeat me."
"You don't have to be stronger than your opponent to beat them, you just have to be a better ninja."
After getting hit Sato wanted to keep some distance before finding a spot to attack once more, but Yugito rushed forward by herself.
Flashing before Sato, she picked him up by the leg and forcefully threw him against the wall.
*Bang*
Sato's whole body was falling apart, the air was knocked out of his lungs, but his eyes remained cold.
Just before Yugito could get away, Sato kicked the wall he was bashed against and rammed into her chest.
His hand swiftly wrapped around her throat, his cold eyes looking into her own.
*Huff*
*Huff*
Yugito no longer attacked but looked at Sato tenderly.
"Let's stop."
Said Yugito.
A relaxing sigh escaped Sato's lips.
Yugito quickly supported him and softly put him down.
"Does it hurt?"
"Sorry, I needed to see how you would perform in danger."
Sato waved his hand and attempted to take few breaths.
His back hurt really badly but it is what it is, it's not like he hasn't fought in his previous life.
Even this life was a constant fight for survival, his family had to once face off against a family of dogs to get enough food.
He knew the taste of fighting for his life very well.
"It's okay, how did I do?"
Asked Sato, he was curious on what he needed to improve upon.
He knew he had a lot to learn.
He was a fighter but he wasn't a Ninja, Ninja's had a whole different set of assassination techniques.
He knew none of that stuff.
"You did well, amazing for your first time."
"But there were too many times I could have killed you."
"I could have easily snapped your neck during the last attack, it was too risky of a move."
Sato nodded, yes, that could have happened.
Ninjas don't fight to damage, they fight to kill.
This was practically no different from his fight against that group of dogs.
Even those dogs went straight for his and his parent's throats.
If not for his father having a rusty knife they would have been bitten to death back then.
'Even dogs in the Ninja world know how to kill, I really need to up my game.'
Shaking his head, Sato got up and rubbed his painful chest.
"What rank would you put my taijustu ability in."
Asked Sato, Yugito promptly took out an information sheet and began putting in the remarks.
After doing that she told Sato.
"I'll show you everything after we finish our tests."
"If you can still move, we will try the next thing on our list."
Moving his painful shoulders Sato grinned.
"I can do it."
Yugito didn't say much and began testing once more.
One by one Yugito kept checking Sato's abilities as comprehensively as she could.
Everything a Ninja could use was tested one way or the other by Yugito, and after seven long hours, a list was finally ready.
"This is.."
"My attribute sheet?"
Sato murmured while looking at the densely filled attribute table before him.
It was shocking how deeply Yugito had went into this.
