Chapter 31 - 29: Corvian Claws (2/2)

”Hm, Azumi, go get him. It's your turn, consider this as my survival training, ” Hikaru said to Azumi with a strict voice, unfitting his normal brotherly voice.

Azumi knew what she has to do when he has this strict voice, and that is to follow every order he has. Back when she was an academy student, her Hikaru-kun started training her when both of them were ten. He said that he doesn't have any form of fighting skills, but he will teach her the fighting style of the ”Corvian Knights”. She doesn't know what those were, but when he showed how that fighting style goes, she was baffled. The speed was incredible, every move he did cut something whether they be plants or trees.

He also said that once she finishes his training with that fighting style, he will teach her a new one. Of course she was excited at the prospect of that. She wonders if he knows everything because of all he told her.

For Hikaru, well, at that time, he just finished fighting two Corvian Knights both at the same time and managed to defeat them due to pure sheer luck. When he decided to train Azumi, he decided that fighting style will suit her well. She's a brawler after all. But the only thing she lacks is the weapon of the Corvian Knights because honestly, she has completed every move of the Corvian knights. Some were even improvised and he didn't even show her that style that well when he was training her because he just based it off on his memories of his fight with them.

”I understand, Hikaru-kun, ” she said as she walks towards Kakashi with the intent to take the bells.

But as she walked away, Hikaru suddenly said, ”Azumi, take these two things first before you fight him.” He then gave her two Corvian Claws upgraded to {Sharp+10}. He didn't gave it to her when she was training because she could get hurt, now a real fight with Kakashi should be able to bring her full potential.

”Is this...?”

”Yes, these two are yours now. Don't lose them or I'll be very mad, got it?” Of course he wouldn't get mad at her, it's just a warning because it's such a pain to upgrade equipment.

”Yes!” Azumi couldn't help but be excited. Her Hikaru-kun had finally gave her a weapon! She will treasure this for the rest of her life!

She turned around to face Kakashi as she puts on the two Corvian Claws in each hand.

Azumi might be small compared to Kakashi right now but she is very dangerous when she wields those weapons. As I said before, she has completely mastered the fighting style of the Corvian Knights, at least the one who has two claws not the one who throws sharp feathers everywhere. Her current strength right now could be around the level of a High-Chuunin. That is if she uses the jutsus Hikaru taught her but that would be almost impossible because she cannot form any hand signs right now as the Corvian Claws are blocking her hands.

As she stared at Kakashi with a dangerous intent, she moved. Within a second, she was already in front of her. Kakashi couldn't see her at all!

She throws her back along with her arms to charge up before she shot her claws to dug out Kakashi's stomach. He fortunately dodged her at the last seconds.

But she wasn't finish yet! Rush attacks after rush attacks viciously left him cornered. The fighting style of Corvian Knights may not have grace but its vicious speed attacks and versatile movements makes it up for it.

All of the rush attacks Azumi made left Kakashi in a defensive position. He was already weakened from his fight against Hikaru's clones but this girl is as equally dangerous as those clones, if not, more!

He could literally lose his life in this fight!

But fortunately for him, Azumi doesn't aim for his life, and instead... for the bells.

Kakashi wanted to use his Sharingan already but this girl left him no chance to do that, he cursed himself for being so prideful. he could've used his sharingan from the very beginning if only he wasn't so prideful. Now look at him, getting his ass handed to him by a girl!

As Hikaru observes the fight the more he felt proud about Azumi.

”I've truly trained her well, ” he wipes a tear, ”She can certainly become a great Hokage with my training! Later, I'm gonna teach her how to fight with a spear!”

Azumi has truly grown in just a blink of an eye.

He decided to stop the battle when he saw Azumi standing on top of Kakashi's shoulders. But the bells were already missing from his waist and it was obvious that she just got too excited for her first real fight.

”Azumi, stop. You're going to kill him at this state, and besides, you already have the bells, don't you?” Hikaru said to Azumi.

”Ehehehe, ” she laughed sheepishly before jumping down Kakashi's shoulders.

She landed in front of Hikaru and looks at him cutely before asking, ”Did I do good, Hikaru-kun?”

”Of course, of course, you were the best!” Hikaru rubs Azumi's head as she smiled cutely because of the compliment she got from her Hikaru-kun.

As the two ignored the nearly dead Kakashi, Sasuke was gritting his teeth because of his jealousy towards those two's strength.

”How? How!? How!!?? I'm Uchiha Sasuke! A genius among geniuses, but why are those two so powerful?! That power, I want it! My revenge shall be completed if only I have that kind of power!”

Hikaru pokes the nearly dead Kakashi with a stick while saying, ”Oi, Sensei, are you awake? Poke poke poke.”

Kakashi slowly opened his eye and saw the bright sky and thought, 'Am I dead? Did I die while fighting that little monster?' For the first in his life, he felt bliss. But that was disturbed when he felt someone poking something hard in his face.

”You alive, sensei? Poke poke poke, ” Hikaru said lazily.

When he heard that voice, he knew that he was not in heaven, he was in hell.

”I'm alive, godamnit! Stop poking that thing at my handsome face!” Kakashi rose up and took the stick from Hikaru's hand and broke it before throwing it away in the grass.
