Chapter 27 A Second!
Chapter 27 A Second!
Kakashi, upon hearing the news, showed a rare expression of interest.
He'd seen ordinary clowns before, but someone who dared to challenge Qingyu's level was someone he really needed to see.
So, the group marched in a large procession toward the third training ground.
Sarutobi Asuma also came along, bringing along his close friends: Yamanaka Tsukano, Nara Insui, and Akimichi Domaru, representing the new generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho triads.
"Qingyu?"
Nara Insui stroked his chin.
He was a year ahead of Asma, but he had also heard that there was an extraordinary genius among the freshmen.
"That's right, this is Qingyu."
Sarutobi Asuma crossed his arms over his chest.
Qingyu glanced around the training ground and found that there were quite a few people there.
Besides their class, there were also some older students who had heard the news and rushed over. They stood in twos and threes by the field, whispering and discussing among themselves.
Then Qingyu withdrew his gaze and looked at Obito standing opposite him.
"Let's begin, Obito."
Qingyu said calmly.
"Hmph, don't think you're so great just because you've awakened the Sharingan!"
Obito pulled down his yellow goggles, completely covering his eyes.
He deliberately pasted a strip of paper inside his goggles to shield himself from Kiyoha's Sharingan genjutsu attacks.
For him, who hadn't awakened his Sharingan, looking at the genjutsu for even a second would be enough to cause an explosion.
Therefore, Obito specifically took measures to counter Kiyohime's Sharingan.
"Obito-kun made preparations."
The silence was somewhat unexpected.
"The battle is about to begin..."
Nohara Rin clasped her hands in front of her chest, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two.
The next moment, Obito made the first move.
He took out several shuriken bound with special steel wire from his ninja tool bag, swung them forward, and the shuriken flew towards Qingyu.
Whizzing!
As the shuriken flew halfway through its flight, Obito flicked his finger, causing the steel wire to tighten suddenly, and the shuriken's position changed in an instant.
Uchiha-style shurikenjutsu!
Qingyu understood, and a tomoe quietly appeared in her eyes.
Meanwhile, he had already begun to learn from others.
Substitute technique.
Qingyu's figure left a wooden stake in place, while his main body quickly moved several meters away.
puff.
The steel wire of the shuriken cut the wooden stake that Qingyu had placed in advance in half.
"Using a 'Substitution Jutsu' to dodge? You underestimate me!"
Obito frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Kiyoyu's response.
The "Substitute Technique" is essentially about quickly replacing the original body with a substitute object the moment of being attacked, and using smoke to create the illusion of being hit.
The fact that he could do it so smoothly means that Qingyu was faster than him; otherwise, he wouldn't have had time to take out the wooden stake while dodging.
In Obito's view, Kiyoha was deliberately toying with him.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
With earth in hand seals, the directions are: Si, Wei, Shen, Hai, Wu, and Yin.
The six handprints were completed in a few seconds.
He took a deep breath, concentrated his chakra in his throat, and then exhaled a ball of flame much smaller than the one Uchiha Tekka had released last time.
Half-baked skill.
Qingyu made her own judgment.
Compared to Uchiha Tetsuka's barely passable Fireball Jutsu, Obito's was just a large flame.
But that's enough.
As Obito formed hand seals, Kiyoha had already circled around behind him.
The moment the flames subsided, Obito's pupils contracted sharply; there was no one in front of him.
Water Release: Water Barrage
Several water bullets came from behind Obito, grazing his hair and hitting the ground hard, splashing up a cloud of muddy water.
Obito stood frozen in place, maintaining his hand seal posture, completely still.
If Qingyu had aimed at his body, he would be lying on the ground, unable to get up now.
"You lost, Obito."
Qingyu said.
One second!
After dodging Obito's first move, Kiyoha's attack was so powerful that Obito couldn't even dodge it.
He now fully deserves the title of "last in the class".
[Collectible trait detected: Fire Release Affinity]
[Rank D Trait: Fire Release Affinity]
[Effect: Increases learning speed by 20% when practicing Fire Release ninjutsu.]
Qingyu glanced at the newly acquired traits and nodded slightly in her heart.
Although it lacks space-time related traits, its Fire Release affinity is still quite good.
Unfortunately, Obito's chakra was still too little. It would be great if he could use it more often.
"Qingyu won already?"
Yamanaka Tsukano sat on the grass by the field, holding his little ninja dog in his arms.
From his perspective as an observer, the entire battle, from beginning to end, lasted less than half a minute.
Obito's shurikenjutsu looked decent, but after Kiyoha dodged it, it became a one-sided crushing defeat for him.
"I thought Obito would have some new tricks up his sleeve."
Sarutobi Asuma was greatly disappointed.
He had just thought that Obito's willingness to take the initiative to challenge him might mean he had some real trump card, but this is what happened?
Kakashi stood to the side, hands in his pockets, too lazy to even offer any comment.
Obito squatted on the ground, looking as if his bones had been removed, and kept his head down without saying a word.
His expression was obscured by his goggles, but his fists were clenched.
"Obito, you've improved a lot since last time."
Nohara Rin walked over, squatted down, and gently comforted her.
Obito's ears twitched, and he finally raised his head a little.
Although losing was embarrassing, Lin took the initiative to comfort him, so it seemed... it wasn't entirely without benefit.
"Hmph, I'll definitely win next time!"
Obito pointed at Kiyoha and announced loudly.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Qingyu nodded.
This is not just a polite remark.
He was genuinely waiting for Obito to deliver the special item to his door again.
If Obito could come often, it would be very beneficial for Kiyoha.
After witnessing this anticlimactic and utterly crushing situation, the onlookers quickly dispersed.
They wanted to see a dramatic comeback from the bottom of the class, but as it turned out, the bottom of the class remained the bottom of the class.
On the contrary, Qingyu's image as a genius was deepened in their minds.
After returning, Kiyohara planned to resume his daily training.
Even with her special powers, Qingyu doesn't intend to rely on them entirely.
In this way, wouldn't the system be pushing him forward?
In Qingyu's view, the system has indeed been a great help to her, but she can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, otherwise she will become lazy sooner or later.
The world of ninjas is very cruel. Naruto, who is so strong that he is almost invincible in his time, was neglected for ten years in Boruto and was still able to have his stomach pierced by a random Uchiha Shin.
If Naruto hadn't possessed the Nine-Tails' regenerative abilities, these injuries would have been fatal.
"Have you confirmed who the teacher will be leading the group?"
After Qingyu finished his training, he saw Tsunade asking him a question.
"No, that's not true. Isn't it only confirmed after graduation?"
Qingyu was puzzled.
"Some can be done earlier, it's just that I'll officially lead the team after graduation."
Tsunade spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qingyu immediately understood.
In the original manga, Kakashi knew beforehand that Naruto would become his student.
Therefore, it's not impossible that some teachers leading the teams might choose to make contact in advance.
However, in Qingyu's opinion, it was still a bit too early.
"This is the first time I've heard of this."
Qingyuan Road.
What do you think of Orochimaru?
Tsunade suddenly asked.
N-A-A
