Just as promised, Nawaki met up with Mikoto as soon as class ended. Mikoto chose a more secluded spot, so it was just the two of them.
"You came." Mikoto said with a slight smile.
Just as Nawaki nodded and was about to speak, his eyes narrowed.
That cute little girl jumped from the ground and the solid ground instantly cracked.
Her small figure moved in a blur and appeared beside Nawaki. Her small fist opened the air and brought out a wave of chakra hitting Nawaki.
Nawaki instantly reacted and his body exploded in white light. He dodged the fist as he kicked his right leg towards the small body.
For an instant, Nawaki could have sworn he saw her eyes turn red, but it was only for an instant.
Mikoto was able to dodge and take a few steps back.
"You are good!" Mikoto placed her hand on her waist as she gave Nawaki a thumbs up. There was a happy smile on her face.
Realizing that she no longer intended to attack, Nawaki who heard what she said asked, "Why did you do that?"
"Hehe~" She laughed and stuck out her tongue in a cute way he'd never seen her act before. With her hands behind her things, she was a little hunched forward as she took small steps, even taking a quick turn once. She said happily, "I'm out of training partner, when I saw you yesterday, I thought you might be a good one." the idea to invite you, and seeing you beat up Isao Uchiha, made me think more and more that it was a good idea."
"Is that why you tested me?" Nawaki asked rhetorically.
"Yes, since Isao Uchiha was a useless one who couldn't withstand a simple flick on the forehead." She wrinkled her nose, but then a gentle smile curved her thin lips: "Now that I've seen more or less what you're capable of, I think it's a good idea for both of us. What do you think about it?"
Nawaki thought for a moment before flashing a friendly smile, "I agree. Since I'm also without a training partner."
"Combined!" She reached out her small, delicate hand for a handshake.
Nawaki didn't think long before he also reached out to shake Mikoto's hand and then released her. Then he smiled. "It will be a pleasure to train with you."
"The pleasure is all mine." Mikoto removed her hand and smiled humbly at Nawaki.
Then she asked, "By the way, I know it might be sudden, but can we start training today?"
"Sure, why not?" Nawaki agreed, but then asked, "However, where exactly are we going to do that?"
"Mm..." She looked thoughtful, involuntary or not, Mikoto placed her index finger on her lip as she thought. "Oh yes." She seemed to have an idea: "How about in your clan?"
'I don't think Sis will complain if I take a girl to train there, yes?' Nawaki mused.
Seeing that Nawaki didn't respond, just kept silent, she added, "Otherwise, we can train at the training ground. The downside is that it is almost always busy."
Nawaki interrupted his thoughts, and said, "No, I didn't say no to training at my clan's compound, I just got lost in thought."
"That's great~" Mikoto smiled gently at him as she put her hands together, pressing her fingers together.
- -
"Nawaki-sama, welcome!"
When he arrived, the employees at the compound noticed him and greeted him as usual.
"Don't mind me, today I brought a friend to train with me." Nawaki asked. "By the way, is Sis in?"
"Tsunade-sama left after noon and still hasn't come back." One of them replied.
"Okay, you can go back to what you were doing." Nawaki said.
"Shall we?" Nawaki turned to look at Mikoto.
"Yea." She nodded.
Following him, Mikoto crossed a bridge that spanned a small lake and entered a bamboo forest.
Minutes later, they arrived in a wide area with bamboo and some trees around it. On the ground, there were marks of combat.
Noticing Mikoto looking around curiously, Nawaki said, "I almost always use this area for training. Well, when I was younger, my Sis used it too, but now, well, it's 'fragile' to be able to serve as a training area for her. But, she helps me sometimes too."
"Mmm, it's a good place to train, indeed." Mikoto smiled gently, "But, I understand. Your Sis is, after all, one of the most powerful kunoichi in Konoha, I'm not surprised she can't use this area for training without changing the scenery entirely."
"Are we going to have a duel before we start training?" Her blood boiled. She hadn't had enough of the little confrontation she'd had with him before.
Nawaki said, "Okay, but before we start, let me give you a little show of my strength. You tell me if you would be able to handle it, or I will have to reduce my strength."
She looks surprised: "Don't you know how strong you are?"
"Yes, exactly that." Nawaki admitted, "You're strong, I've noticed before, but I must say I haven't used even 50% of my strength before, so you'd better tell me, rather than we train and I end up hurting you."
"Okay, I'm confident in my strength, but it will be better to know your strength before we start training." She smiled: "I will also demonstrate my strength."
"Good." He smiled.
After that, Nawaki starts performing several taijutsu strikes using almost 100% of his strength. Each blow was powerful and full of destructive power, even though this area had been reinforced with seals so as not to be easily disfigured, small deformations in the ground were made every time he slammed his foot down hard on the ground.
His punches in the air almost produced a supersonic sound.
After Nawaki stopped. He looked at Mikoto.
Seeing that he had finished demonstrating, she sighed in admiration, then smiled gently, "I'm glad you showed me your strength earlier. In fact, I wouldn't be able to get away with being hit by its full force. Other than that it was just using your physical strength, yes? Awesome~"
Before Nawaki spoke, she added, "Maybe 60-65% is my limit to go out with minor scratches at most. However, that's not counting you using chakra."

'Impressive.' Nawaki mused. If it's like she said, a few days ago before he ate the orbs of light, he was weaker than she was. He said, "I won't use my chakra and I will reduce my strength by 50% in the beginning, what do you think about it?"
"It's fine by me." Mikoto gave him a thin smile, "I will demonstrate my strength before then. Since you're so strong, it was like using ninjutsu too, okay?"
"Okay." Nawaki agreed.
"Right." With a smile, she initially starts demonstrating taijutsu strikes, but later creates some seals and spits out a watermelon-sized fireball.
'Would I be unharmed if I was hit by a fireball like that?' When he saw that the wooden target had turned to ash within seconds, he doubted his own resistance against such an attack.
She also picked up a shuriken and threw it, hitting right in the center of the targets.
It was just a wooden shuriken, but it was thrown hard enough to dig deep into the wood.
'She's very strong and skilled...' He'd never seen her demonstrate such strength in the academy, but then, who could she go up against in full force?
Few would be able to go against it. At least, he didn't think any of them could. Perhaps the blond boy who seems to be hiding his strength might be able, apart from him, the rest might not be a good sparring pair against Mikoto.
'Now I understand what she meant that she had trouble finding a training partner...' Nawaki said in his mind and made a mental note about her strength.
When she finally finished, she didn't even break a sweat. With her usual gentle smile, she closed her eyes in the form of a smile, after she opened her eyes she asked him, "How was I?"
"You are awesome." Nawaki gave her a thumbs up. He said with a smile, "It's no wonder I can't find a suitable training partner. All right, I think our little partnership will be of benefit to both of us."
"Hehe." She shows her little tongue: "No need to flatter me, you won't gain anything from it~"
Nawaki pretends to be sorry, "It's a shame, I think."
"Hahaha, you're funny." She laughed more openly.
This was his first time seeing her laughing like that. This took him by surprise, as despite being young, she exuded a unique charm when she laughed like that, and despite being in her growth phase, she was much more developed than girls her age, especially her pert ass.
"Let's start now?" Nawaki asked.
"Yea." She said with a smile, but with a more serious expression.
Confronting himself, Nawaki took a coin and said, "I'm going to throw the coin up, as soon as it hits the ground, we start, okay?"
"It's fine with me." She nodded.
The coin has been released.
When it touched the ground, Mikoto made 6 seals with her hands very fast - Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" She spat out a fireball just like she demonstrated before.
Nawaki almost made seals with his hands, but remembering that he promised to only use taijutsu, he dodged instead.
Already expecting him to be able to dodge, shurikens were thrown in the direction he dodged.
With a strong momentum, he jumped like a frog, causing the shurikens to pass just below him.
When his feet finally touched the ground, Mikoto made seals again with her hands.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Nawaki: "..."
'Is she going to be okay spending so much chakra?' Not knowing how big her chakra reserve was, Nawaki instead of dodging to the side, ran forward.
"Mmm?" An imaginary question mark floated into Mikoto's head.
Only when she saw that he literally skidded to the ground, causing the great ball of fire to graze his body, did she realize his intention was to get closer.
'Hehe, this is getting interesting.' Her lips curved into a smile.
Mikoto ran sideways, not taking much distance, however, at the same time she ran, she made other seals by hand, but this time the seals were not the same anymore and it was a total of 5 seals.
"Fire Style: Fire Sage Phoenix Technique!"
When he heard what she said, Nawaki who already knew this jutsu prepared himself for what was to come.
This technique creates a volley of fireballs ranging in size from small to medium, which are launched in unpredictable directions at the opponent. Also, the flames are controlled one by one with chakra, so avoiding them all is quite difficult.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The fireball hails caught right where Nawaki was.
However, before Mikoto could worry that she had overdone it, a twig was substituted in its place, and to her surprise, Nawaki was already right beside her, just a few steps away.
"How is this possible?" She couldn't imagine what kind of monstrous speed it took to get to her side in such a short amount of time.
His blade-shaped hand was only inches away from her neck. Nawaki smiled deepening his cute dimple: "You missed it~"
"Yes, I surrender." She sighed, but then her lips curved into a gentle smile.
