Chapter 68 - Chapter 70 (1/2)

It was early morning the next day and the Uchiha brothers were standing outside the doors to the dojo. They could hear people yelling inside and what sounded like weapons clashing against each other.

”Are you ready, Sasuke?” Itachi was wearing the Akatsuki outfit already and he had his bamboo hat in his hand.

”Of course. If a carefree, lazy person like Naruto can become strong by training here then so can i. Give me a month and I will surpass him.” Sasuke showed no fear or anxiety. He was most excited about the coming future.

”I believe in you.” Itachi couldn't help but smile when listening to his brother.

When Sasuke finished talking. Itachi opened the door and what greeted him was a tiny needle flying towards his right eye.

”What's this” Itachi caught the needle a millimetre before it pierced his eye.

”Reaction speed. Average..” A man in a red trench coat and a big red hat stood a few meters inside the dojo hall.

”Itachi Uchiha, attack me. Physical combat only.” Alucard stood with his hands in his coat pockets.

Itachi knew who he was here to meet. A test of strength was already something he had expected when he arrived.

Itachi ran towards Alucard and delivered a straight punch. It took about one single second for him to cross the seven-meter distance between them.

Alucard raised his hand and let Itachi's punch hit the palm of his hand. Alucard's hand was seen by Itachi but he couldn't make his punch land before Alucard had raised his hand. The speed off Alucard was so fast that Itachi perceived it as slow.

When Alucard started to move from Itachi's point of view, Alucard himself had already raised his hand all the way. So Alucard had moved his hand at a speed that Itachi couldn't comprehend.

”Physical strength, below average. A marine captain could probably overpower you.” Alucard said while observing Itachi from head to toe.

”Marine Captain?” Itachi had never heard this term before.

”I'll tell you about it later, boy.”

”Speed, above average. Pretty decent. The good thing is, you are probably the most talented person I have ever seen.” Alucard gripped a hold off Itachi's hand and did an overhead throw.

”AH!” Itachi was slammed into the ground so hard he spits up blood.

”You have fantastic talent. It shall be wonderful to see what I can make out of you.” Alucard picked Itachi up by the arm and dangled him in front of his face to get a better look.

”Though, I did hope for something more exciting.” Alucard creepily smiled and his natural blood lust became more intense.

Itachi that was hanging in mid-air suddenly moved and made an attempt to kick Alucard's head. His leg disappeared into a blur and it hit Alucard right on the side off his face.

”Nice brother!” Sasuke yelled from behind as Alucard's body went flying and crashed into the house wall.

”You showed reaction speed into the milliseconds. Let me one-up you and show you what speed in the microseconds looks like.” Alucard was walking towards them again and talking with a neutral tone of voice. but when the last word left his mouth, Itachi already had a hand gripped around his throat.

”When I am done with you, moving 100 meters in a second will be your new normal.” Alucard's grip tightened and he slammed Itachi forwards right into the floor. The area where his face was slammed into completely broke apart and Itachi lost consciousness and his face was borderline destroyed.

”BROTHER!” Sasuke freaked out and ran towards Alucard. he put power into his legs and launched himself at Alucard with no fear.

Anger and anxiety were the two primary emotions that fueled this attack and before he even reached Alucard he lost balance in mid-air fell down.

'What's happening??!' Sasuke was lying down and gripping his head in pain.

”oh, this is interesting.” Dragon walked up beside Alucard and stared down at the boy.

After a few seconds, Sasuke stopped growing in pain and struggled his way onto his feet. He stood up on wonky legs and stared at Alucard and Dragon. Both men towered over him so an instinctive feeling of fear appeared.

”Congratulations, Sasuke. You just became an official Uchiha.” Dragon said and clapped his hands nonchalantly.

”What do you mean?” Sasuke said while standing there ready to fight.
