On the field, the two teammates and friends looked at each other. "Good luck Anko-san." Itachi said as he smiled at her.
Anko returned it. "You too Itachi."
"The next match is about to begin. Are you both ready?" Pakura asked as both Itachi and Anko nodded and both readied in their respective stances. Pakura looked between them before swinging her arm down.
"HAJIME!"
When the word was said Itachi and Anko pushed back a little, both with their hands in their pouches and as quick as lightning began storming one another with shurikens.
None made it past the collision center as the shurikens all found themselves getting rebounded of the others shurikaes and were littering the ground as well as the wall. A few of the shinobi's even had to duck their heads to avoid getting a shuriken stuck in their heads.
On the field after a minute of throwing shuriken at one another they eventually stopped but not before Anko put her hands on the ground with blood on the edges of her fingertips.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" she said as a puff of smoke appeared and a long snake appeared out of it.
The snake saw Itachi and quickly slithered over to him and began to strike at him with quick and precise strike with its mouth as its fangs were bearing out as well as its tongue.
Each time it struck Itachi efficiently dodged its strikes and managed to land a few strikes onto the snake before he pushed himself away and jumped on the wall.
The snake quickly followed after him and did its best to catch up to him but Itachi had showed that he too had trained in his speed as he easily out manoeuvred the big snake. He then jumped in the air away from the wall and where the snake was and made hand signs.
"Katon:Hai Kui no Jutsu!" he said as black ash and fire poured out of his mouth and engulfed the snake making it hiss in pain.
"That's going to hurt." Naruto muttered as many in the crowd thought the same thing. They would not want to be that snake right now.
When the ash cloud disappeared the snake was still there but its skin was burnt in multiple places. "I am going to be sssssssshedding for weekssssss…" The snake hissed out before it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
When Itachi landed on the ground, Anko came up behind him and pulled a kunai over his neck.
"You should remember to watch your back!" She said as Itachi smiled at her. Anko eyes winded when Itachi suddenly disappeared in a murder of crows and could hear something soaring through the air and coming towards her. She turned around in time to see kunai heading towards her.
Her eyes counted how many there were and in retaliation threw the same amount of shuriken. Her shuriken collided with Itachi's and cancelled them out.
As she did Itachi appeared in front of her, jump over her shoulder but as he was in the air grabbed her shoulder. He then landed and using his strength threw her across the field with a lot of force.
Anko couldn't dodge in time as she slammed into the walls of the stadium, wincing a little as she rubbed her lower back.
'I think I felt something crack.' She thought as she shakily stood up though her lower back felt like it was on fire. 'I have to tough this out now.' "She's hurt." Naruto whispered to himself as Tsunade and Shizune made the same decision.
Anko made a few hand signs and Itachi who had his Sharingan active copied the movements.
"Katon: Endan no Jutsu!" they both said as two giant fireballs blew out of their mouth and collided with one another making a shockwave of heat hit the closer audience members.
Fugaku meanwhile turned to his wife. "That is an Uchiha clan jutsu. Why does someone who is not an Uchiha know it?" He asked as Mikoto shrugged at her husband's question.
"Itachi must have shown her it. She does have a fire affinity so it would be a helpful jutsu to know." Fugaku obviously was not satisfied with the answer but had to accept it since Mikoto had now turned back to the match at hand.
"Katon:Hi no Jutsu Shi Ame!" Anko said as she shot fire into the air and everyone watched as the fire looked as if it began to break apart into multiple little pieces and rain down on the field.
Itachi responded by calling out "Doton:Doheki no jutsu!" as a wall of earth suddenly erected up in front of him and blocked the rain.
"Doton? Since when do you know Doton?" Anko asked.
"I asked Naruto to show me a Doton that would be handy for defense; though in return I had to promise him that I would show him a Katon jutsu at some point in the future."
