Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Wood Style vs. Sharingan

'Who is this?' Yamato thought to himself.

How could Yamato possibly know who was in front of him? No one alive knew what the first Hokage looked like when he as a child.

'Leave it to a Root member not to speak when asked a question,' Jonathan surmised.

In a moment, Yamata performed the hand seals in succession: tiger, horse, tiger snake. Jonathan smirked before back flipping upwards and landing on a branch. An array of tree branches stormed the spot where Jonathan was had just leapt from. Had Jonathan hesitated even for a moment, he would have been swarmed by Yamato's signature technique: giant forest. The moment Jonathan landed, he activated his sharingan and looked up at Yamato with a grin on his face.

'Sharingan!?' a surprised Yamato thought. Even Jonathan could tell he was shocked behind his Anbu mask.

'First gate, open.' Jonathan's mind became more refined.

He activated his high-speed movement technique to easily close the distance between the two. Instinctively, Yamato reeled his fist back. Before he could perform his Jab, Jonathan used his right palm to direct Yamato's thrusting fist to the side. The momentum caused him to lose his balance. Jonathan quickly ducked and delivered a strong left hook to Yamato's liver. He then spun his body, landing a forceful kick to Yamato's chin.

Yamato's mask flew off as he was sent crashing into a tree trunk. In that moment, Jonathan lowered his legs slowly. His expression hadn't changed in the slightest after that little skirmish. But he knew he had to end things fast. On top of the transformation technique, Jonathan had also been using the sharingan. Just those alone was enough to drain his chakra rapidly. However, had Jonathan not trained his chakra control, he wouldn't be facing Yamato now.

"Ha—how do you know my name?" Yamato struggled to ask. His back was lodged deep in the tree trunk.

"That can't be all you have, is it, Kinoe?"

Jonathan's tone had been resolute. Though he hadn't use more than three techniques, just knowing Yamato's name was enough to throw him off edge. On top of that, Jonathan's blows weren't average for a child his size. This was due to his inept control over chakra. He could augment some of it to his physicality and cause impactful blows. Mix that with Jonathan's taijutsu whilst having the first gate opened, his kick alone was enough to send Yamato flying.

This was the ferocious fist fighting style Jonathan had been training those last five months!

Yamato clasped his hands together. Extending his arm out, multiple tree branches protruded from his sleeves. Jonathan could easily see the technique's pathing with the sharingan. Rather than simply dodging, Jonathan slid his feet right into the technique. A quick shift to the left, a spin to the right followed a short leap, and Jonathan managed to land right on top of the protruding branches.

"What?!" Yamato yelled in a daze.

With just a tiger seal, Jonathan released a sizeable fire ball technique. Having hardly any room to move, Yamato placed his other arm in front of him. A thick tree branch formed on his forearm in a circular motion. When the flames made contact, Jonathan blew even harder after seeing Yamato defending. The flames then engulfed all of Yamato's body causing him to scream in agony.

The area was now covered in scattered flames. Yamato was seen lying flat on the burnt grass.

Something suddenly impaled the ground right in front of him. Startled, Yamato looked up and saw a shuriken only inches from his face.

"Get up," Jonathan demanded. Yamato looked at him. He was staring down menacingly at Yamato while twirling a kunai between his fingers.

"You'll die if you don't…" Jonathan's comment caused Yamato to shake a little. He struggled but managed to get up before pulling at his tanō from his back. Jonathan knew how to get into people's heads. Yamato was still but a child. How could he physically or mentally match up to Jonathan's prowess?!

Yamato screamed as he rushed towards Jonathan. Smiling, Jonathan slid to the left to dodge his first swing. He ducked to dodge the second and stepped back to dodge the third. He was toying with Yamato.

Jonathan's act wasn't just for show. He had no purpose in revealing his superiority to Yamato. Rather, he was training. Yamato was skilled enough to be a part of Danzō Shimura's Root organization. Everyone in Root was at least as strong as a Chūnin. Otherwise, they wouldn't be even considered candidates. At any time, Jonathan could have killed Yamato if he wanted. But what Jonathan needed was to test his own skills.

Yamato raised his sword and brought it down to slice Jonathan in two, but the attack was parried with Jonathan's kunai. Yamato jumped back but Jonathan closed the distance almost instantly. This act made Yamato frantic. If he didn't have enough space, he didn't feel confident to active his giant tree technique. Yamato planted his feet mid-jump and thrusted his tanō to impale Jonathan's chest. Jonathan shifted his upper body slightly and caught Yamato's handle. The very blade was lodged in between Jonathan's armpit. At such a close distance, Jonathan looked Yamato straight in his eyes saying, "It's no wonder you're so useless."

Jonathan activated sharingan genjutsu causing Yamato to freeze abruptly.
