Chapter 13: Crushing Naruto, Uzumaki Bloodline
That's right, this was the first time Izayoi had fought Naruto Uzumaki.
There appeared to be a force of causality between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
In ten taijutsu fights, they would fight on par with each other roughly half the time.
Izayoi couldn't fight Naruto Uzumaki at all.
Fortunately, the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red) possessed an immensely vast amount of chakra similar to the Sage Body. Otherwise, Izayoi would have no idea how to bring out Naruto's Sage Body.
Finally being able to keep up with Naruto Uzumaki, Izayoi was very much thrilled.
That was a sign that he was very lucky today.
Being so lucky, would he be able to bring out a valuable attribute?
Concealing the excitement in his heart, Izayoi got up and moved to Umino Iruka's right side.
Looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who was moving towards the other side, gritting his teeth and refusing to back down, Izayoi raised his right hand, lifted his index finger and middle finger, and smiled, "Naruto, please give me your guidance."
Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki was slightly startled.
His originally tense mood suddenly relaxed.
Looking at Izayoi before him, a warm current surged through his heart.
Different!
This guy's eyes were different from the others.
There was no disgust from those adults, no rejection from his classmates, but just the same kindness.
Other than Umino Iruka, who recognized him last semester, Izayoi was the second special person.
Thinking about this, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly wanted to cry.
But he restrained that sentiment and nodded eagerly, grinning, "Alright, teach me!"
Having said this, Naruto Uzumaki also raised his index and middle fingers.
His blue eyes, which were identical to Izayoi's, had become resolute.
Witnessing this spectacle, Umino Iruka couldn't help but smile in relief.
Then he took several steps back and shouted, "The seventh round of the duel, start!"
The instant the voice fell, Izayoi and Naruto Uzumaki rushed towards one another.
The attack pattern of Naruto Uzumaki was very dull, the same every time, and he did not have any idea about how to change whatsoever.
He punched Izayoi upon getting close.
Although Izayoi did not possess Sharingan, in front of his perception ability, he was clear about what the other side would do next when Naruto Uzumaki raised his shoulder.
Before Naruto Uzumaki's fist was thrown, Izayoi had completed his charge, a lift by his left hand, the back of his hand hit Naruto Uzumaki's wrist, brushing aside his straight punch, then his right punch moved out.
Boom, the fist hit Naruto Uzumaki's left face.
Naruto Uzumaki was knocked to the ground with one blow by the tremendous force, his face turned red and swollen, and a bruise was already apparent.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Naruto Uzumaki still continued to gasp, but he was not killed off by Izayoi's punch.
He got up right away and still continued to attack Izayoi.
But every punch and kick was predicted beforehand by Izayoi, either blocked, dodged, or countered with force.
Even Hinata's swift and savage pressure point techniques, each with chakra flames and the sound of piercing through the air, Izayoi could deal with effortlessly.
Naruto Uzumaki's disorganized assaults not only held no power at all, yet were also filled with flaws.
Each of the punches and kicks landed on Naruto Uzumaki's body, and this child of fate's clothing was soon dirty, and his face was covered in scars, looking very humiliated.
Izayoi, conversely, was spotless, even flawless.
Even a three-year-old child could discern the difference between the two.
Yet, Naruto Uzumaki, who was being one-sidedly defeated, did not choose to give up.
At the beginning, he would shout when he was beaten, but now he did not say anything even when he was beaten. His face was so focused, and his attacks became less reckless step by step.
He was growing up, although he would become his old self again next time.
But for now, he was actually getting stronger in battle.
Thus, Izayoi, who had understood another weakness, decided to end the battle.
He bent down, dodged Naruto Uzumaki's attack, and swung his leg to knock Naruto Uzumaki over.
Then, without letting Naruto Uzumaki get up, he brought his fist down but stopped in front of Naruto Uzumaki's face.
Seeing this scene, Umino Iruka immediately shouted, "Naruto Uzumaki has lost his fighting capability, the winner is Izayoi."
Clap!
Practically simultaneously with Umino Iruka's voice dropping, one of the purple bubbles enclosing Naruto Uzumaki, which were visible only to Izayoi, suddenly burst.
Following that, a purple beam flashed to Izayoi and into his body.
Immediately after that, a small bubble reappeared around Naruto Uzumaki once again.
This newly formed bubble was relatively small in size, and its color wasn't white to red, but a transparent small bubble.
There were no attributes inside, but nothing.
Izayoi had seen such a scene more than once.
He knew that this bubble was cooling down.
Once the cooling down finished, this transparent bubble would turn into a purple bubble again, and the attributes inside would reappear.
In the meantime, Izayoi had a chance to draw out this attribute again.
Yes, attributes can be drawn out again and again.
It was just that Izayoi hadn't pulled out the same attribute from the same person.
Izayoi, who obviously knew what attribute the purple bubble was, was very excited now.
But he did not call out the personal panel immediately, but stretched out his hand to Naruto Uzumaki and smiled, "Naruto, you are very strong, let us fight again someday."
Naruto Uzumaki, who was brutally beaten after fighting with all his might, was first filled with resentment.
Yet seeing Izayoi looking at him solemnly, without any contempt for him.
Only in front of Sasuke Uchiha would he be resistant, and Naruto Uzumaki immediately relaxed.
He stretched out his hand to hold Izayoi's hand, borrowed strength to get up, and smiled, "Izayoi, you are really powerful, but I won't lose next time."
"Your improvement is quite clear, I look forward to fighting you again someday."
Izayoi smiled and stretched out his index and middle fingers to Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto Uzumaki also stretched out his index and middle fingers, intertwined with Izayoi's fingers.
This was the symbol of reconciliation, which was equal to the symbol of battle prior to fighting, signifying that although there was a big difference between ninjas, they could reconcile.
In the original series, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha sealed the millennium-old destined battle of Asura and Indra with the mark of reconciliation.
If the reincarnations of Asura and Indra could not reconcile, their chakra would continue to reincarnate.
The millennium-old destined battle made Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, without any conflicts and without any influence from Sakura Haruno, still hate each other.
Naruto Uzumaki could easily shake hands with Izayoi to solidify peace, but he was not destined to make a reconciliatory gesture with Sasuke Uchiha.
Nevertheless, these had nothing whatsoever to do with Izayoi.
Having made the reconciliation sign with Naruto Uzumaki, Izayoi returned to the group, going through the motions of dealing with the classmates that surrounded him, as he called up the light curtain that no one but himself could see and answered the prompt that echoed in his head as the beam entered his body.
"Ding! You have obtained talent attribute [Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple)], merge or decompose?"
"Merge."
The next second, a new talent attribute appeared in the attribute bar - Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple).
