Classes for Class A and Class B were mostly held separately; even for practical training, the times were staggered, so Hyuga Mirai rarely saw the state of Class A students in the Ninja School, unless he skipped class.
However, Hyuga Mirai knew without guessing that Class A students must be stronger than Class B students; when assigning classes, the Nin school teachers fully considered all aspects, with physical ability and theory accounting for a large proportion.
Might Guy was basically a theoretical novice, but he was assigned to Class A due to his excellent taijutsu foundation. At this time, Might Duy was still a Genin of Konoha and had no connections in Konoha. It can be said that Might Guy's entry into Class A was entirely based on his own strength.
Looking back at his classmates, Hyuga Mirai felt that Class B had no hope of winning the upcoming practical training.
They don't even seriously throw Shuriken during regular school hours; can one expect these students to seriously train after returning home?
Currently, there are only some skirmishes on the border, and even White Fang has not committed suicide. It can be said that almost no one in Konoha could foresee the Third Shinobi World War breaking out in a few years.
Under such circumstances, Nin school students could not feel the tense atmosphere and naturally would not train diligently.
Disciples of prominent families had strict training schedules, while Nin school students from commoner families would not be urged by their parents after returning home, naturally lagging behind the children of famous Ino-Shika-Cho Formations.
Soon, after discussing, the Chunin teachers of the two classes began the practical training match.
"First match, Might Guy of Class A versus Kimura Shin of Class B."
Upon hearing Teacher Ishii's call, Might Guy and Kimura Shin quickly came to the field. Hyuga Mirai, hearing Might Guy's name, also focused his gaze on him and carefully sized him up.
Aside from knowing about the future event where Might Guy nearly kicked Six Paths Madara to death, Hyuga Mirai's deepest impression of Might Guy was that during the entrance physical fitness test, this spandex-clad boy ran and shouted, and still made it into the top ten.
"Form the Confrontation Seal!"
After both sides formed the seals, the two Chunin teachers retreated to the side.
Kimura Shin was sparring with someone in front of so many classmates for the first time, which was completely different from previous ninja games, making his heart feel very hot.
"Take this!"
Kimura Shin shouted excitedly, then directly took out a training Kunai, running forward and throwing the Kunai at Might Guy.
Whoosh!
The Kunai flew past Might Guy's head by more than ten centimeters, barely grazing him.
Seeing that the Kunai missed, Kimura Shin threw another punch at Might Guy's head.
However, the intention of this punch was too obvious, and Kimura Shin only thought about a cool offense, completely lacking defensive awareness. Ishii Ichiro, who was watching from the side, darkened his face.
"Leaf Hurricane!"
Might Guy shouted loudly upon approaching, then flipped his body, dodging Kimura Shin's punch while also using a low kick to send Kimura Shin flying.
With a heavy blow to the chin, even if Might Guy didn't use full strength, Kimura Shin couldn't continue fighting.
The outcome was decided instantly!
The Class A teacher, Kinomori Inaka, nodded in approval at Might Guy's crisp and clean taijutsu.
"Might Guy, winner! Next match, Yuhi Kurenai of Class A versus Koharu Junko of Class B."
Then, one match after another, Class B didn't win a single match, with their best performance being only lasting a few more rounds. However, Hyuga Mirai, who was on the side, gained quite a bit.
He watched the first dozen matches, and among them, nine students from Class A used the Three Body Technique. Hyuga Mirai secretly nodded, realizing that clan members utterly crushed commoner ninjas; they were not on the same starting line at all.
If commoner ninjas didn't work hard themselves, there was no need to even compare.
Although Hyuga Mirai had a training scroll for the Three Body Technique at home, he had not yet begun training, and the Ninja School had not yet started teaching it to everyone.
'I should practice the Three Body Technique after I go back. Besides daily taijutsu training, Chakra control training also needs to be put on the agenda.'
"Next match, Hyuga Kiyomi of Class A versus Hyuga Mirai of Class B."
The one calling out was Kinomori Inaka from Class A. Hyuga Mirai was also momentarily stunned when he heard his name and Hyuga Kiyomi's, but then he quickly recovered and walked to the sparring ground.
Hyuga Kiyomi, the granddaughter of the Head of the family elder. If Hyuga Mirai remembered correctly, she should be the Fourth Elder's only granddaughter, and also a young lady from the Head of the family.
Ishii Ichiro frowned slightly and pursed his lips upon hearing this match-up, but he said nothing, picking up his notebook to record seriously.
After forming the Confrontation Seal, Kinomori Inaka announced the start of the match.
"Make your move!"
Hyuga Kiyomi spoke indifferently. Although she was only five or six years old, under the guidance of the Head of the family etiquette, signs of a deadpan expression were already appearing.
"Yes, Hyūga Kiyomi."
Hyuga Mirai said, then assumed the stance of Gentle Fist; he didn't know who arranged this match, but he had no choice but to lose.
The hierarchical gap between the Main Family and the Branch Family was very clear, and there could be no transgression, even in a practical training class.
Neither of them pulled out Kunai or Shuriken to test. While they might do so against others, between two members of the Hyuga Clan, Gentle Fist was their method of combat.
Hyuga Mirai made the first move. He quickly ran towards Hyuga Kiyomi, then slightly covered his palms with Chakra and struck towards Hyuga Kiyomi's body.
Slap!
Hyuga Kiyomi retreated half a step, also striking out, blocking Hyuga Mirai's palm, then immediately countered with two fingers.
With the mindset of an adult and the Gentle Fist scroll left by his original father, Hyuga Mirai was certainly not weaker than Hyuga Kiyomi in Gentle Fist training. He instantly saw the intention of her move.
'Striking vital points, huh? As expected of the Main Family, learning this step so early.'
Bang!
Hyuga Mirai dodged sideways, also countering with his palm.
Their striking methods were very similar, and after using Chakra, their speed was also much faster than in previous matches.
Gentle Fist is a martial art that targets the body's acupoints, meridians, and internal organs. Since internal injuries are difficult to train and once sustained are hard to heal, Gentle Fist is also known as the 'Vicious Fist.'
The surrounding students were all seeing the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist for the first time. Coupled with Hyuga Kiyomi and Hyuga Mirai's slightly stronger abilities and much faster striking speed than average students, many people watched intently.
However, Hyuga Kiyomi was only five years old after all. Even if she had been training since childhood, she would still feel tired after a long period of engagement, especially since she was a girl.
Slap!
Once again blocking Hyuga Mirai's attack, Hyuga Kiyomi turned her body and exposed a weakness, but it was instantly seen through by Hyuga Mirai.
'Her left side is slightly stiff, and her right palm, after being covered with Chakra, isn't hidden well.'
However, Hyuga Mirai didn't intend to continue the fight. Even though the weakness Hyuga Kiyomi exposed seemed quite obvious to Hyuga Mirai, he pretended not to notice it and attacked.
Bang!
Hyuga Mirai was struck on the shoulder by a palm and flew back two meters.
'Damn it, that actually hurts a bit.'
Hyuga Mirai lay on the ground, cursing inwardly, then slowly sat up after two seconds and said to Hyuga Kiyomi,
"I lost. I'm still not as good as you, Hyūga Kiyomi!"
Hyuga Kiyomi took a few deep breaths, recovering her strength. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she still tried hard to appear calm, pursing her lips, and said indifferently to Hyuga Mirai,
"You did well. In the future, when you train Gentle Fist, you can come to the Uchiha Clan Land's training ground."
"Yes, Hyūga Kiyomi."
