"Number 25 Mei Terumi versus Number 30 Uchiha Obito!"
As the referee's voice reached the locker room, Mei Terumi and Obito quickly walked to the battle arena.
"Currently, I am the best performer among all the Kirigakure ninjas, so I shouldn't disappoint the master. But I still have to try my best to enter the top four. Only the top four will receive rewards in this competition." Mei Terumi thought to herself.
Even the worst reward for fourth place is a chakra knife worth tens of millions of taels.
Mei Terumi doesn't need to sell it herself. The money she gets is more than enough to post commissions to collect all the flavors of ice cream in the ninja world.
"We must not lose. There is still one penalty spot left." Obito thought with a serious face.
The rule they set was that the first two disciples to be eliminated would receive the same punishment as if they had lost the civil war. Since Nohara Rin was not participating, another disciple had to be eliminated so that Obito could be spared the pain of doing the test.
For the sake of his beautiful life, he must not fall here, and he must advance to the semi-finals no matter what!
Thinking of this, Obito looked at Mei Terumi, who happened to be looking at him as well. Both sides saw a strong desire to fight in each other's eyes, and understood that each other had reasons to win.
"This Mei Terumi's water jutsu is so powerful, and her Mist Hidden Technique can block the Sharingan's vision. It seems like she can really restrain Obito." Nohara Rin in the audience was a little worried about Obito's next battle.
"This is the intensity of battle that the quarterfinals should have. He was lucky before, but the opponents he met were too weak." Kakashi said.
At this stage of eight to four, it can be said that there are no weak ninjas. Even Asuma, purely in terms of personal strength, can be considered a good jonin, but the others are even more abnormal.
Obito really got a great draw this time. His opponents in the first and second rounds were all at the bottom of the knockout stage, so even in the quarterfinals, they wouldn't be that bad.
Among the eight contestants in the quarterfinals, Mei Terumi's strength is considered to be on the lower side, but due to the restraint, she is one level more difficult for Obito.
But compared to opponents like Nagato and Might Guy, Mei Terumi is easier to deal with even though she has attribute restraint.
"A-choo." Obito's nose suddenly itched and he sneezed, looking around suspiciously.
He always felt that it was Kakashi who was saying bad things about him behind his back.
"By the way, now that Kakashi has been eliminated, maybe he was watching the battle with Xiaolin and deliberately belittled me!" Obito thought of a very bad possibility.
Obito cursed inwardly at the damn white-haired bastard and his expression became solemn. Now he not only had to win, but also had to win beautifully and not let Kakashi find fault with him.
"The battle begins!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Although his opponent was defeated, this was a battle that could not be lost, so Obito was unusually steady. He did not directly enter the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode like he did in the first and second rounds, but instead used the Uchiha classic Fire Release.
Fireball is not necessarily the best choice, but it is a good choice most of the time.
"Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique!"
Mei Terumi quickly formed hand seals and spit out thick fog. Within a few breaths, the battlefield was covered by thick fog.
The failure in the Chunin Exam and the battle with Obito in the elimination match made Mei Terumi understand Obito's fighting style.
In fact, Obito is very similar to Mei Terumi most of the time. Both are turret ninjas, but Obito uses fire jutsu while Mei Terumi uses water jutsu.
Theoretically, both of them are turret ninjas, and the water-attributed Mei Terumi should have the advantage.
But Mei Terumi can only be a turret ninja, while Obito also has an impressive physical skill, which is very fatal to Mei Terumi.
Therefore, Mei Terumi's battle plan for this battle was to use the Mist Hidden Technique to prevent Obito from getting close, and then use the large-scale water-style attack to launch a long-range attack on Obito.
In the Mist Hidden Technique, Mei Terumi has no vision, but they have undergone special training in the Mist Hidden Technique and can sneak in the thick fog and determine the position by sound.
"I don't like this ninjutsu." Looking at the venue engulfed in thick fog, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire couldn't help but complain.
Even the Sharingan couldn't see through the fog, let alone an ordinary person like him.
"Me too. It's too unclean." The Daimyo of the Land of Rain nodded in agreement.
The other officials echoed this.
The cornermen on the platform were all thinking about whether the martial arts association should ban the use of ninjutsu that obscured vision over a large area in the future. What's the point of this?
"It's this annoying ninjutsu again." Seeing Mei Terumi disappear in the thick fog, Obito sighed slightly.
He discovered that not only were the Fire attribute inferior to humans, but the Sharingan seemed to be of little use, and ordinary people could not see through the Mist Hidden Jutsu, not even his Three Magatama Sharingan could see through it.
"Water Style: Water Formation Pillar!"
After dodging the Great Fireball Technique, Mei Terumi quietly came to the right side of Obito and spit out a huge water ball towards Obito.
Whoosh!
Although Mei Terumi could sneak, the huge sound of the large-scale water escape technique did not fool Obito, who used the instant body movement technique in advance to avoid the huge amount of water.
"Oh, it would be nice if Charmeleon was a dog." Obito thought of his summoning beast, but found that it was useless.
If it was a rock dog, it could also use its sense of smell to lock onto Mei Terumi in the thick fog.
But Charmeleon didn't have a nose as sensitive as a dog's. Plus, Charmeleon only knew how to use Fire Style, and was restrained by Terumi's Water Style. Summoning Charmeleon would only make Charmeleon share the pain.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Mei Terumi didn't care that her attack missed, and continued to use water jutsu to attack towards Obito.
Her chakra level was still decent enough so she wouldn't be unable to perform any ninjutsu.
"What should I do now?" Obito thought while dodging.
His long career in doing test questions has taught him that it is useless to complain all the time. After all, no matter how much he complains, the questions on the test paper will not be completed automatically. It is enough to release his emotions.
Obito thought of Mu Yue, and he wondered how Mu Yue would solve the problem if she were in his situation.
"It must be a powerful wind escape to disperse all the fog."
Obito shook his head. He was too far away from the omnipotent Mu Yue Sage, and he could not use the methods that Mu Yue Sage could use.
After discovering that replacing Mu Yue was a trap, Obito replaced him with someone else, who was his most familiar opponent, Hatake Kakashi.
Based on Obito's understanding of Kakashi, Kakashi has absolutely no ability to disperse the thick fog. The Transparent World should not be much better than the Sharingan against the Mist Hidden Technique.
"Although I can't see the enemy, the enemy can't see me either." Obito's mind was working rapidly, and he quickly thought of what ninjutsu he should use at this time.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
BANG!!
White smoke flashed, and twelve shadow clones appeared beside Obito. Half of them ran towards the direction where the water dragon had just attacked, and the other half ran towards other directions of the battlefield.
A large number of shadow clones can not only interfere with Mei Terumi through the sound of footsteps, but also locate Obito's real body through sound identification.
And because this is a competition, the battle area is limited, and the thirteen Obitos are searching together. Unless Mei Terumi dives into the water or flies into the sky, she will be found by the shadow clones within a minute.
Mei Terumi originally wanted to continue to form hand seals and use water-style ninjutsu, but the sound of footsteps suddenly became noisy.
"Have you used the Shadow Clone Technique?" Mei Terumi paused for a moment and then continued to form hand seals to condense water escape.
Since we don't know which one is the real one, just get rid of all the Obitos.
"Found it, it's here!" One of Obito's Kage clones was very good. He saw Mei Terumi after running for only ten seconds, so he immediately shouted loudly.
"Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
Because of what Obito's shadow clone said, Mei Terumi concluded that this was not the real body and did not choose to retreat. Instead, she continued to release water dragons to disperse Obito's shadow clones.
Then Mei Terumi wanted to sneak to other places to continue the attack, but every Obito knew that the opportunity was rare, so they all put all their efforts to surround Mei Terumi.
This gave Mei Terumi a headache. She couldn't tell which one was Obito's real body, so she didn't dare to stop.
If the distance is too close, she will easily be eliminated by Obito.
"Dissolving Escape: Dissolving Monster Technique!"
Terumi tried to escape, but there were too many Obitos surrounding her, so Terumi had to use ninjutsu to attack, otherwise Obito would attack her.
The highly corrosive acid of the Dissolution Release was very powerful, and the shadow clones that came into contact with it dissipated one after another, but the memories that flowed back successfully helped Obito determine the location of Mei Terumi.
Obito concentrated his Fire Breathing to the extreme and entered Fire Breathing Chakra Mode, then burst out at an unprecedented speed and rushed towards Mei Terumi.
"Flame impact!"
With flames burning all over his body, Obito was like a fireball running through the fog.
Mei Terumi's face changed, and when she realized it was too late to dodge, she made a prompt decision and used water jutsu as quickly as possible.
Hiss!
The water column rushed over Obito's body, extinguishing part of his flames, but it could not stop him from moving forward.
Bang!!
A dull crash was heard, and Mei Terumi flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling six meters away.
"It hurts so much, why can they take into account both ninjutsu and physical strength?" Mei Terumi tried her best to endure it and not let out a cry.
She didn't understand how Konoha ninjas like Obito and Kakashi trained.
Are their days forty-eight hours long? Even if they have to do various chores, they can still practice ninjutsu for ten hours and then train their physical fitness for another ten hours.
Among the ninjas of the same age in the Hidden Mist Village, her physical skills were neither outstanding nor bad, but compared to Kakashi and the others, she was not so good.
As Mei Terumi was unable to maintain the Mist Hidden Technique, the thick fog quickly dissipated, revealing the figures of Mei Terumi and Obito.
"Uchiha Obito wins!" the referee announced after confirming that Mei Terumi had lost her combat effectiveness.
Obito straightened his chest and looked at the audience. This time, he didn't rely on the powerful fire escape of the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode to crush the opponent. This time, it was his intelligent tactics that won!
"Kakashi, you can't say I don't use my brain now." Thinking of his wonderful performance in the battle, Obito couldn't help laughing.
"Wait, the fog was so thick just now, Kakashi and the others shouldn't have been able to see it." The remaining battle thoughts in Obito's mind made him think of something very serious.
Although he successfully defeated his opponent with his wisdom and courage in this battle, no one could see his fighting process because Mei Terumi used the Mist Hiding Technique to cover the battlefield throughout the entire process.
Obito really wanted to communicate with the Ninja Clan staff and asked him to go to the audience seats and personally tell Nohara Rin and Kakashi about the entire battle process and his mental journey.
This is a battle in which both attributes and bloodline limits are restrained. How could the process of such a meaningful battle remain unknown to others?
But Obito was already walking towards the lounge at this time, and he was walking towards the lounge with the attitude of a winner.
How can he turn back when he is like this?
In the end, Obito chose to walk all the way to the lounge in style.
"Sure enough, there is no easy life for a ninja." Obito sighed.
If he turned around, the atmosphere of the masters would be destroyed. If he didn't turn around, he wouldn't be able to show off in front of Nohara Rin and Kakashi at the first time.
Shisui looked at Obito with a puzzled look on his face, wondering how he could gain insights into life while playing a game.
In the audience, Nohara Rin smiled relaxedly and said, "Although I don't know the process, but looking at Obito's back as he slowly walked back to the lounge, it must have been a difficult battle."
"Walking slowly doesn't necessarily mean you're tired. Maybe you're thinking about something strange, like how to make your victory sound more impressive." Kakashi said after thinking for a while.
Based on his understanding of Obito, Obito will definitely come to them when he has time to explain the process of his battle with Mei Terumi.
Listening to Kakashi's words, Nohara Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems that you two have a really good relationship. I can guess so many things just by looking at your back."
"Don't get me wrong, Lin. It's just that Obito is too stupid and easy to understand." Kakashi denied.
…
At 3:20 pm, the semi-finals of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament will begin.
The contestants were already waiting in the lounge for the game to begin.
"It's finally about to begin." Might Guy twisted his neck and stared at Nagato with a fighting look.
By the time it came to the top four to the top two, the strengths of all the contestants were basically clear. Even Might Guy had tried his best when he defeated Kakashi.
Among the only four remaining opponents, the one that Might Guy is most eager to fight is of course Nagato, who is the strongest besides him.
At noon, Kakashi analyzed Nagato's intelligence with him in detail.
The extremely terrifying chakra in Nagato's body allows him to use various ninjutsu without any scruples. However, Nagato's ninjutsu is very strong. Even Might Guy in the Rock Breathing Chakra mode does not dare to resist with his physical body.
However, what Might Guy fears the most is Nagato's ability to control repulsion and gravity. These two abilities are also simple and crude but very powerful.
Might Guy is not sure whether he can defeat Nagato, but that is why he feels that the battle will be more interesting. After all, exploring the unknown is a very interesting thing.
"Come on, Kai. It's all up to you." Obito cheered for Might Guy in his heart.
Now three of the top four are Mu Yue's disciples, and among Mu Yue's disciples, Might Guy is currently the strongest one. If Might Guy loses, then they may not have a chance to get the first place.
