Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 8: Taichi, Kakashi, and Guy in battle.

After returning home, Taichi tidied himself up a bit and went out to the training ground, where he was surprised to see Might Guy and Kakashi sparring together.

Kakashi's father was Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, while Guy's father, though only a genin, was a top-tier genin capable of opening the Eight Gates and defeating the Seven Ninja of the Mist. Therefore, both Kakashi and Guy had mentors from their fathers.

This is evident from their duel; both were well-structured and methodical. Unlike Taiyi, who was a complete novice with absolutely no fighting experience.

Watching the two spar, exchanging blows and switching between offense and defense, Taiyi also imagined how he would react if he were in their shoes.

At this moment, the two sparring partners also noticed Taiyi beside them. After exchanging a blow, they used the force to retreat.

"Taiichi, you're a little late today. Kakashi and I arrived much earlier. Youth shouldn't be wasted like this!" Guy grinned, showing his white teeth as he exaggeratedly looked at Taiichi.

"I had some business to attend to at the orphanage this morning," Taiichi said without going into details. "By the way, when did you two become so close? You're even practicing battles together."

"Haha, Kakashi is my lifelong rival; we've known each other since before the start of the school year." Then, turning to Kakashi, he said, "Kakashi, this is Matsushita Taichi, also my best friend!"

"Idiot, we're classmates, do you need to introduce us?" Kakashi ignored Gai's embarrassed grin and invited Taichi, "Taichi, let's have a match!"

Wow, Kakashi is so competitive at this time of his life. But Taichi won't refuse, as this is exactly the kind of experience Taichi currently lacks.

"No problem, but I don't have any prior experience in matches, so don't be disappointed."

After saying this, the two walked to the center of the arena, formed opposing hand seals, and began their battle.

Kakashi lowered his center of gravity, his movements as fluid as a cheetah. He lunged forward, his left leg sweeping towards Taiichi's lower body. Taiichi hastily jumped back to avoid it, but Kakashi quickly changed his attack, pushing off the ground with both hands and delivering a high kick aimed at Taiichi's chest. Taiichi, caught in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, could only try to block with his hands covering his chest. He was knocked to the ground by Kakashi's solid kick.

After falling to the ground, Taiichi did not hesitate to roll backward to dissipate the force and use the opportunity to get up. After stabilizing his body, he immediately rushed forward, thrusting out his fists one after another. The speed of his jabs was even slightly better than Kakashi's.

This onslaught initially caught Kakashi off guard, but he quickly regained his composure. Seizing an opportunity, he delivered another sweeping kick to Tai's side. Tai parried with his arm, but Kakashi used the momentum to turn and deliver a powerful elbow strike, sending Tai staggering back several steps.

The two fought back and forth, but Kakashi generally had the upper hand. Taichi, ultimately lacking experience, made many poor decisions, only occasionally managing to turn the tide with some unexpected moves.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, until finally Taichi was kicked to the ground by Kakashi and couldn't get up.

Taiichi lay on the ground, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face. Kakashi stopped his attack, walked over, and reached out to help Taiichi, who had already sat up, to his feet.

"Impressive, Taichi. I can tell you rarely spar, but to perform like this is truly rare." After saying this, Kakashi recalled his father's previous evaluation of Taichi and Guy, and agreed even more.

Kai, who had been watching from the sidelines, ran over and gave a thumbs-up from afar. "Taiichi, I never knew you were this good! Watching you makes my youthful passion burn again."

"Come on, Taiichi, let's have a thrilling duel!" Kai said excitedly, already getting into a fighting stance.

"Alright!" Taiyi wasn't intimidated. After lying down for a while, he had regained his strength. He stood up and assumed the starting stance as well.

Kakashi, seeing the fighting spirit between the two, stepped aside to watch the battle.

Seeing that Taichi was ready, Guy charged forward without hesitation. Compared to Kakashi's focus on technique, Guy's attacks were incredibly powerful. Every punch and kick was extremely difficult for Taichi to block.

Gradually, Taiyi also found the knack, no longer engaging in head-on clashes with Kai, but trying to neutralize Kai's moves with entanglement and deflection techniques, and occasionally seizing opportunities to launch strong counterattacks, which could also make Kai flustered.

Kakashi, watching from the sidelines, could see it even more clearly: Taichi's technique had improved tremendously. In just two short matches, although it wouldn't be accurate to say they were completely different people, they were definitely on two different levels.

During his duel with Guy, Kakashi even saw his own reflection in Taichi's techniques, demonstrating an inhuman rate of improvement.

It's not surprising that Taiichi has made such great progress. His basic taijutsu at level 6 is comparable to that of a typical genin. What he lacks is combat experience, which is the only way to bring out the full potential of his level 6 skills.

As the two continued their exchange, Taichi's stamina gradually began to wane. His movements became increasingly erratic, and his blocking and parrying became more and more difficult. In the end, due to his slow movements and delayed counterattack, he was struck in the chest by Kai and fell to the ground.

The battle ended, and both of them were panting heavily. Taiyi's tenacity had also made Kai exert a lot of effort to win the battle.

"Taiyi, huff huff..." "As expected of my best friend, huff huff..." "You've improved so much, huff huff..." Even while panting, Kai didn't forget to show off his big white teeth.

At this moment, Taiyi was staring at the panel in his mind.

[You have engaged in physical combat sparring, and your understanding of related techniques has improved.]

Your basic physical skills have been improved; experience points +2.

[Your focus on ninja combat training has increased your Ninja Apprentice class experience by 2.]

……

Seeing the increased experience points compared to usual, Taiyi realized that the "leveling up by killing monsters" path was indeed more suitable for him. In fact, the experience points he gained from just two battles were more than he would normally gain from two hours of training.

Kakashi helped Taichi, who was still lying on the ground, to his feet. The three of them sat down in the shade under a tree to rest and discuss their experiences from the battle. After recovering their strength, they resumed their individual training. They also sparred with each other from time to time to solidify their previous gains.

The cherry blossoms by the training field were gently stirred by the breeze, their petals fluttering among the three. The sun slowly sank in the west, its afterglow falling upon them, lengthening their shadows, and witnessing their friendship.

In the evening, Taiyi, exhausted, returned home and quickly prepared a simple meal before heading to his study.

Looking back on today's achievements, the matter of making money is finally settled. All that's left is to wait for Tsunade's reply, which should be available by tomorrow if things go smoothly.

The afternoon sparring session with Kai and Kakashi allowed Taichi to discover new ways to gain experience, and everything was progressing in a positive direction.

Looking at his stats, compared to before the start of the semester, he not only had two more skills, but his experience level had also increased significantly. The only shortcoming was that he didn't have a single ninjutsu.

Looking down at the scroll on the table, he realized that now that he had chakra, it was time to start training in ninjutsu.

……

At the same time, on the other side of Konoha, at an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Tsunade, completely drunk, was slumped over the table, fast asleep, having completely forgotten what had happened during the day.

Across the table, Jiraiya and Orochimaru exchanged helpless glances, both wearing wry smiles. They had originally been dragged here by Tsunade to drink, but now it seemed they not only hadn't gotten any drinks, but also had to take care of the mess left by the drunkard.
