Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

Whether the boys who remained on the tennis court continued training or were free to do as they pleased was none of Sasuke's concern.

He returned to his room, lay down, and kept himself in a state of cultivation, while simultaneously simulating various ninjutsu techniques in his mind.

He had learned very little about ninjutsu hand seals, but that did not prevent him from studying some ninjutsu techniques he had never encountered before.

For example, certain genjutsu techniques that shouldn't belong to Sasuke, or rather, those he shouldn't be good at.

The ninja releases ninjutsu after forming hand seals, which was the rule of the ninja realm in his time, but it has no meaning for Sasuke now.

In the era of the Sage of Six Paths, the use of chakra came first. Later, in order to enable others to learn how to use ninjutsu, hand seals were specially created.

This sequence of events led Sasuke to discover the direction of his research.

So Sasuke, who came to the world of Prince of Tennis before he even started learning, has been trying to rediscover his original way of using chakra.

The process was difficult, but this world had things different from the ninja world, like tennis...

Although he kept complaining about the world's setting, as long as it's in the world of Prince of Tennis, tennis can be used to perform many attacks comparable to ninjutsu.

In his mental simulation, he modified certain tennis techniques he had witnessed, condensing chakra into a ball and then making various modifications...

'It feels...like a Rasengan...'

After a night of immersive simulation, Sasuke woke up the next morning to find himself bewildered, staring at the spherical rotating chakra in his hand.

All he accomplished that night was simulate a tennis ball with added spin; how did that somehow mimic Naruto's special move?

Although the chakra dumpling the size of a tennis ball in his palm was much smaller than a Rasengan, adjusting its size was no problem at all...

Is he going to use Susanoo to create Rasengan after he returns to the ninja world?

Will it anger the Sage of Six Paths so much that he jumps out of the Pure Land?

After all, he is considered a reincarnation of Indra's chakra, so that old geezer should keep an eye on him, right?

"Sasuke, are you up? Morning training is about to begin."

A knock suddenly sounded at the door; it was Yuushi Oshitari.

"You guys go ahead, I'll take a shower and then I'll be there."

Sasuke snapped out of his reverie, jumped out of bed, rushed to the bathroom for a quick shower, and left wearing his tennis club uniform.

He was conflicted about the ninja world, but he wouldn't let it interfere with his current life.

On the running track outside the villa, Sasuke watched the top students from Hyotei and Rikkai running laps together and quickly followed.

The two schools' tennis teams wore completely different uniforms, but running together created a rare and harmonious atmosphere.

Atobe and Sanada, in particular, seemed to be competing with each other, gradually increasing their speed and showing signs of breaking away from the group.

"Sasuke, are you resting well? How about we go and have a match with them?"

Yukimura Seiichi was positioned quite high up. Besides the two ahead of him who were determined to win first place, he and Oshitari were next, along with Niou Masaharu and Akutagawa Jiro.

Seeing that Sasuke had quickly caught up with them, Yukimura smiled and suggested that he wanted to see the two ahead get crushed.

"No need, let them play. There's mixed training in the morning, which is a good opportunity for them to develop some teamwork."

Sasuke didn't want to bully anyone at a time like this, because it was completely pointless; everyone knew what would happen if he tried to speed up.

and...

This is good; it gives him a reason to train the two of them in doubles two years in advance.

Although the outcome was predictable, the process was still quite interesting.

"Their teamwork? That seems like an interesting thing!"

Yukimura Seiichi was only slightly taken aback before realizing what this so-called tacit understanding meant.

Thinking about these two who just had a match yesterday and are now vying for the lead during their morning run...

The fact that they were brought together made Yukimura's eyes crinkle with laughter.

He suddenly realized that he needed to work on his quirky sense of humor; how could he not have thought of something this interesting before?

"As expected, Sasuke is trying to bully people again. I wonder who can stand up to the two of them. Although they don't have any teamwork, their strength is quite impressive."

As Yuushi Oshitari listened to the conversation between the two people next to him, he suddenly realized that he would inevitably have a part in this matter.

Instead of waiting to be assigned tasks later, it's better to ask now so you don't have to worry about it.

"Didn't Oshitari already guess? But... Oshitari, who do you think would be a suitable partner for you?"

Although Sasuke was talking to Yuushi Oshitari, his gaze swept over Niou and Jiro, who were already half a step behind, and then looked at the others who were even slower.

Since it's a doubles match, there must be another person involved, and according to their training camp schedule, the two teams will train together today.

In other words, the partner that Shinobu should choose should be from Rikkai University.

"This is a real problem, but... I think Niou-kun would be willing to team up with me once?"

Yuushi Oshitari thought about it very seriously. His first thought was actually to choose Seiichi Yukimura.

But he only thought about it for a moment before giving up, because he couldn't see even the slightest possibility of doubles in Yukimura's aura.

However, Masaharu Niou is different. Since we know he is an imitator, he must be very knowledgeable about other people's skills, which makes him the best choice.

As for Liu Lian'er, who collected the most and fastest data...

Shinobu had no desire to team up with that guy who was always talking about percentages in doubles.

He was afraid that before the game was over, his partner would have already thoroughly analyzed his data.

"I have no objections, but I need to talk to Oshitari-kun alone."

Niou Masaharu lowered his head and chuckled softly, as if he had been valued.

Since that's the case, we must perform well. Even if we can't win, we can't let the vice minister and his men win too easily.

"Then it's settled. Next, we need to find a doubles pair. Does Sasuke have any other suggestions?"

Yukimura was quite satisfied with the result, but this morning's training involved more than just these four people; there were many more things to arrange.

Chapter 54: Let Atobe and Sanada Team Double Team

"Jiro is very interested in Marui Bunta's tennis. Let them play a match. Yukimura, how about you arrange a partner for each of them?"

Sasuke looked at Jiro Akutagawa, whose eyes were sparkling, and he shared the same thoughts as everyone else about Hyotei, this adorable character.

Just spoil them, spoil them as much as you can.

"Akutagawa-kun is really lucky. In that case, let's add Renji and Mukahi to the team. Two skill-based players as partners will hopefully bring them a different kind of growth."

Looking at Jiro Akutagawa, whose eyes were shining with laughter, Yukimura felt he understood why the entire Hyotei team was taking care of this one person.

She is simple, straightforward, and wears her heart on her sleeve. Most importantly, she plays tennis exceptionally well.

"The match this morning is really something to look forward to."

Oshitari patted Jiro on the shoulder, and after expressing his feelings, he and Niou suddenly sped up and chased after the two who were getting further and further away.

Although there wasn't much time to prepare, now that they've become temporary partners, a plan is essential for the upcoming matches.

"Indeed, it's something to look forward to."

Sasuke maintained a steady pace, keeping pace with Yukimura and Jiro.

Looking at Atobe and Sanada, who seemed oblivious, and Oshitari and Niou, who were carefully discussing how to perform in the match, I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of different developments these two pairs would bring.

As for the singles player selection...

It's not important for now. The focus this morning is on the two doubles matches. If there's still time after they finish, we'll make arrangements then.

.........

After breakfast and a short rest, the group went to the tennis court.

"How could this be? You want me to team up with this guy?"

Keigo Atobe was stunned when he saw the match list; how could he possibly be on the doubles roster?

What's even more outrageous is that they arranged for him to be Genichiro Sanada as his partner!

"Yukimura, why?"

Genichiro Sanada also looked dissatisfied. He had lost to this guy yesterday, and after a night of mental adjustment, he considered him his nemesis on the tennis court.

But now, only one night has passed, and he's already going to have to work with this guy?

How could there be any cooperation?

There's absolutely no way there could be any tacit understanding!

"Isn't that good? As a strong player, you have to adapt to any competition mode. You have to play well in singles and you can't lose in doubles, right?"

Yukimura looked at Sanada with a sly smile, making no attempt to hide his desire to see a good show.

As for Atobe...

He glanced at Sasuke, then arrogantly grabbed his racket and headed to the court.

It's just doubles, isn't it?

Atobe-sama will never admit defeat!

"Shinobu, you'd better do your best from now on!"

"Niou, we can't lose!"

As the other two players in doubles, Shinobu and Niou bumped their rackets together in perfect unison and stepped onto the court with relaxed expressions.

"Game start!"

Ryo Shishido sat on the referee's bench, looking at both sides who were basically ready, and solemnly called for the start.

"Sasuke, can you predict the outcome of this match?"

Yukimura Seiichi scored in the first game with a serve from Atobe, and suddenly felt that this doubles match might not be going as expected.

Both Atobe and Sanada, though they don't play doubles, can still score points with their serves.

"There's nothing to question about winning or losing; the key is whether the win looks good."

Sasuke never thought Atobe and Sanada would lose, but he also didn't think they could win convincingly.
