"Eiji, that's Hyotei. But I'm curious, this student likes tennis, so he must be from the Hyotei tennis club. Why is he here near Seigaku at this hour? Did he skip club activities to come see Tezuka?"

Fuji Syusuke narrowed his eyes again, concealing his icy blue pupils.

He doesn't care about Hyotei or anything else; his focus right now is on Tezuka.

"After playing a few simple practice matches, I got bored and went for a walk. I thought of the legendary tennis prodigy... Although I don't sell amulets, I still want to give this to Tezuka. It's something I made in a hurry, so it might not be very effective, but it should still be of some use..."

Sasuke picked up the small paper figure in his hand, moved his feet, and before the three of them could even see him clearly, he had already appeared next to Tezuka.

The paper doll was stuck to Tezuka's elbow, and then, under the watchful eyes of the three Seigaku members, it began to fade from the edges and then disappeared completely...

"Um...that..."

Kikumaru Eiji watched this scene unfold and was anxious to say what it was, but before he could speak, Fuji Syusuke covered his mouth.

The disappearing paper doll is not an illusion, nor could it be magic.

That means...

"I still don't know your classmate's name. Since you're so worried about Tezuka, shouldn't we exchange contact information? That way, if any problems arise, we can contact you for help."

Fuji Syusuke pushed away Kikumaru Eiji, who was clinging to him, walked up to Sasuke, and bluntly took out his phone, asking him to leave his number.

This person's actions were too strange. He left his contact information first, and he would talk to his sister about this when he got back.

Chapter 21 Yukimura and Sanada have come to Tokyo

"Keep it up! I hope to see you on the field."

Sasuke and Fuji Syusuke exchanged phone numbers and had completed the necessary precautions. Not wanting to play tennis with them, they naturally turned and left.

Regardless of what others might speculate about, the little paper doll was actually just a prop made using ninjutsu, placed on Tezuka's elbow in this way to prevent him from being easily crippled.

The paper doll's appearance is only for being seen, since this place is home to a legendary Onmyoji who uses paper dolls.

When there are certain speculations, let people speculate in that direction.

However, if Tezuka still gets his arm injured, it will likely still hurt a lot, and...

It will greatly increase the sensation of pain.

This is one of Sasuke's quirky habits.

Because he simply couldn't understand what the situation was like at Seigaku in the original storyline, or what Tezuka's mindset was after being beaten.

After being injured in the arm, knowing that the problem was serious, why didn't you go to the hospital immediately?

You didn't choose to call the police?

Then, after the current minister appeared and learned that he was injured and was being punished by running laps, he continued to follow along and be punished?

In the end, the captain named Yamato discovered that Tezuka was very strong in tennis, so he told him to become the pillar of Seigaku's tennis club, and he happily wiped the past clean.

And that coach whose name seems to be Ryuzaki Sumire, who seems to have been there throughout the incident, yet has done nothing.

If he remembers correctly, Tezuka later became the captain, and nothing changed.

At the beginning of the story, when Echizen Ryoma went to Seigaku, the upperclassmen of the Seigaku tennis club would bully the first-year students.

Although there were no further incidents of him injuring his juniors, his schemes to swindle money from them were still rife with malice.

Even the rule that first-year students can't be regulars is something only Ryoma Echizen, a second-generation samurai, is allowed to make an exception for...

Whether this is due to Tezuka Kunimitsu's inaction after taking office or the insistence of the Seigaku tennis club coach, it is still impossible to draw a conclusion at this time.

With so much to complain about, Sasuke wanted to discuss with Sakaki Taro whether a certain coach was mentally challenged, but he simply couldn't bring himself to say it before the incident occurred.

The only thing he could complain about was the system, but the system was currently inactive...

"Yukimura's phone call?"

Sasuke, who was inwardly complaining and had nowhere to vent, heard his phone ring on the street. He picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately put down the Seigaku matter.

The person making the call was also a talented tennis player who was brutally tortured for the sake of the plot.

However, his problems won't surface for another two years, during which time he will be Hyotei's strongest opponent.

"Sasuke, Genichiro and I will be arriving in Tokyo soon. Do you have time tonight?"

Upon receiving the call, Yukimura Seiichi smiled broadly, as if flowers were in full bloom.

He came to Tokyo with Sanada, not specifically to see Sasuke, but that didn't stop him from inviting people out to play tennis.

"I'm free right now, are you looking for a tennis court, or would you like to come to my house?"

Sasuke knew that Yukimura wouldn't come looking for him for anything else, so since he wanted to play tennis, he decided to have a match.

But when playing tennis against Yukimura and Sanada, he certainly can't be that realistic, so how should he play tennis?

Indeed, being too strong is a helpless thing!

"Does Sasuke have a tennis court at his house? Then we'll be visiting Sasuke's. We'll be having dinner at Grandpa Sanada's house, so we might arrive a little late. We hope Sasuke won't mind..."

Yukimura gestured for Sanada to take out his phone. After setting the arrival time, he asked Sasuke for the location information and wrote it down before hanging up.

Tonight, Sanada Genichiro's grandfather invited them, so Yukimura and Sanada packed up after class and rushed over.

They set a time, and Sasuke ran along the street, quickly returning to his home.

Although his villa wasn't as luxurious as the Atobe family's, it was still far beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy people.

If there's one thing that Sakaki Taro has as a parent, it's that he unconditionally prepares everything Sasuke needs.

Because Sasuke plays tennis, the first requirement for his accommodation is spaciousness, and the tennis court facilities are complete, not inferior to some clubs.

There are facilities both indoors and outdoors, so training can be conducted anytime, in any weather.

The villa wasn't luxurious; due to Sasuke's special circumstances, it mainly contained training equipment and a specially modified secret room in the basement.

The contents of the secret room are a complete secret; no one else knows what's inside, not even Sakaki Taro.

Back home, Sasuke had dinner prepared, then went to the basement alone to practice his daily routine using the various ninja tools he had painstakingly crafted.

Although he didn't know when he could return to the world of Naruto, he never gave up training in ninjutsu, ninja tools, and taijutsu.

However, he could only receive basic training in these things because he was just a child in the Naruto world and had very little exposure to them.

Even ninjutsu is the same; apart from the part that comes with the Sharingan, there are only low-level fire-type ninjutsu like Great Fireball and Phoenix Flower.

These are images of him being taken out to play by his older brother when he was a child, where he was treated as if he were learning through play...

'System, when will you come back to life...? I wonder how my brother is doing, and that idiot Naruto, he's probably going to get yelled at again and run off to cry...'

After completing the ninja tool handling training, during the basic chakra control training, Sasuke once again greeted the system in his mind, and also reminisced about his brother and friends.

Actually, he hadn't known Naruto for very long, but Naruto was quite good at distinguishing between good and evil. As long as someone showed him kindness, he would be considered a friend without much further expression.

After briefly recalling the past, Sasuke, seeing that it was almost time, sealed away all the ninja tools and items in the basement once again.

"Young master, your friend has arrived at the door."

The butler received the message and came to Sasuke's door to report.

"Go and get ready. We'll take them straight to the tennis courts later."

Sasuke adjusted the weights in the room, looked at his arms, and realized that the weights were still a bit too heavy, making it difficult to even try.

There's nothing he can do about it; he's already in the simplest, most burdened state. If he focuses on appearances, he'll lose the point of carrying these things.

"Young master, here is your tennis racket."

As Sasuke went downstairs and went outside, he took the tennis racket handed to him by the maid at the door.

He has many tennis rackets at home, in various weights and sizes.

However, these tennis rackets will mostly remain unused unless the player requests them; otherwise, they will only be given the standard model.

"Sasuke, good evening!"

Yukimura and Sanada were invited directly to the tennis court, and now, seeing Sasuke appear with a racket, Yukimura's smile grew even brighter.

"Good evening, Seiichi, Genichiro!"

Sasuke, swinging his racket, walked to the opposite side of the two and stopped. Seeing that Sanada had taken out his racket first, he roughly guessed what they were thinking.

Does this mean I have to get past Sanada first before I can fight Yukimura?

This challenge mode actually started around this time.

"Sasuke, are you going to play tennis with weights on?"

Sanada was a little unhappy when he saw the weights on Sasuke's arms. They had come to play tennis with him, but...

To fight against yourself while carrying weights is an absolute act of contempt.

"These are essential items for daily training, Genichiro, don't worry about them. Be prepared, I can be very ruthless when I use them."

Sasuke looked down at his arm; he had no choice, he couldn't just take it apart like that.

However, once the competition starts, he believes Sanada will forget about the weights.

23qb.

Chapter 22: Sanada's complete lack of involvement

"Let me test your strength."

Genichiro Sanada was still bothered by it. All he wanted to do now was to beat his opponent badly on the tennis court and then make him take off his weights and play a serious match.

"Genichiro is quite strong, Sasuke needs to be careful."

Yukimura Seiichi went to the referee's seat and sat down, waiting for them to begin.

He thought Sasuke was a pretty good person, but he was a little annoyed that Sasuke was playing tennis with weights on.

Although Sanada lost to Tezuka Kunimitsu before, it doesn't mean that Sanada is weak. He is still considered one of the top players among his peers.

"Seiichi, I'm not weak either, so watch out later!"

Sasuke took a tennis ball from the tennis basket next to him, walked onto the tennis court, and tossed it to Sanada on the other side.

"You go first."

As the host of this place, Sasuke naturally let the guests go first.
