Chapter 32: Is it really that blatant?
Soon, the theoretical exam ended, and it was time for the practical exam.
Ninjas are tools, therefore actual combat is the most important aspect.
"Now we'll start reading the names."
Umino stood at the front of the examination hall, holding a roster in her hand.
He began to read the names.
Groups of students walked into the practice area marked by white lines.
When it was the middle of the turn, Umino glanced down at the roster, then looked up and scanned the crowd.
"Next match: Kiyoha vs. Kakashi Hatake."
Qingyu was not surprised by this result at all.
He specifically sought out Umino Shika before the exam, expressing his desire to fight Kakashi.
The sea deer did not refuse.
Making Kakashi spar with others is essentially bullying him. It would be better to let the two strongest students clash directly, which would be fairer and more interesting.
Kakashi stepped out of the line, now holding a short sword.
Kiyoyu also drew the katana that Tsunade had given him.
The standoff between the two immediately drew everyone's attention.
Both Qingyu and Kakashi were the subject of much discussion in the class.
One is a genius who has been firmly in first place since the first day of school, and the other is Qingyu, who has an extraordinary background and is with the legendary Sannin.
No one can say for sure who will win or lose.
"I am coming."
After Kakashi formed the "Seal of Opposition," he drew his short sword.
The short sword slashed diagonally down at Qingyu.
Qingyu drew his samurai sword and parried.
when!
A metallic clanging sound rang out.
The two touched and separated immediately, then stepped forward together again.
The katana and the short sword collided repeatedly in the air, sparks flying from them.
Kakashi grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
too fast.
Qingyu's progress is too fast.
The last time they learned swordsmanship together at home, Qingyu had already shown considerable talent, but there was still a clear gap between them.
But how much time has passed?
"Are both of them so outspoken...?"
Sarutobi Asuma stood on the sidelines, watching the two figures clashing swords in the arena, and subconsciously pulled his hand out of his pocket.
After thinking it over, he decided to temporarily avoid the confrontation.
Two geniuses ruined my dream of having the best semester ever.
Sarutobi Asuma decided to take his time to reflect before meeting at the summit.
"The title of 'Excellent Teacher' is secure."
Umino Shika watched the duel on the field with a satisfied smile on his face.
The better the students, the more famous the teacher becomes, and they may even receive extra bonuses.
This system was personally established by the Third Hokage to motivate instructors and prevent students from being neglected.
With Qingyu and Kakashi as his trump cards, his promotion is practically a done deal.
"This child is quite remarkable."
The examiner next to him, Mu Shou, suddenly spoke up.
"Who is Teacher Wood Hand referring to?"
The sea deer turned its head.
"Qing Yu."
Wooden Hand's gaze fell on the figure in the center of the arena who was holding a samurai sword.
Umi no Kashi was somewhat puzzled.
Aren't the two evenly matched right now? Why praise Qingyu separately?
He turned his attention back to the field.
The situation changed drastically in the next moment.
Kakashi suddenly took two steps back and quickly formed a hand seal with his right hand.
Earth Escape · Earth Wall!
An earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking Kakashi's way.
This is a D-rank Earth Release ninjutsu, a simplified version of the B-rank ninjutsu "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall".
Kakashi specifically learned this technique from his father in order to deal with Kiyoha.
Chakra can counteract each other.
Earth Release counters Water Release.
He knew that Qingyu was very good at using water-style ninjutsu. As long as he could seal the water-style ninjutsu, Qingyu's offensive methods would be reduced by half.
Qingyu looked at the rising earthen wall with some surprise.
"He really is a dog lover."
Qingyu thought to herself.
Although this earthen wall is not as thick as the one created by "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall", it also has a dog's head on it.
There's only one dog head.
Kakashi can create dog-head art when he's low on chakra, and now that he hasn't transplanted his Sharingan yet and has plenty of chakra, he's even more prolific in creating dog-head art.
Qingyu guessed that this was intended to be used in conjunction with the summoning ninja dog.
So, has Kakashi formed a contract with the ninja dog yet?
Qingyu pondered for a moment, then began to form hand seals.
His Sharingan had already been activated, and a tomoe slowly rotated in his scarlet pupil.
Earth Release counters Water Release.
Qingyu certainly understood this principle.
But what Kakashi didn't know was that he now knew more than just Water Release techniques.
Qingyu formed a hand seal and spat out a flame.
Fire Release: Snake Bullet!
The flame twisted and condensed in the air into a winding snake shape, baring its fiery fangs, heading straight for the earthen wall.
This is a ninjutsu that Orochimaru taught him.
boom!
The serpentine flames struck the earthen wall, causing it to shatter.
Kakashi's eyes widened.
Fire Release?
How could he not know that Kiyoyu could use Fire Release techniques?!
But there was no time to think about it anymore.
Using the smoke created by the flames and the crumbling earthen wall, Qingyu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Kakashi gripped his short sword tightly, scanning his surroundings warily.
A figure suddenly rushed out of the smoke.
Kakashi instinctively swung his sword down.
Bang!
Where the blade passed, the figure exploded into a cloud of white smoke.
It's a clone!
Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine.
Was it released when the smoke from the flames and earth-escape technique rose up?
In the instant Kakashi was thinking, a fist emerged from the smoke on his side, slamming towards his chest with a sharp gust of wind.
Kakashi didn't have time to block, so he could only instinctively raise his arms to protect himself.
Bang!
A fist slammed into his arm.
A tremendous force sent him sliding back several steps, leaving two long black marks on the white line where his shoes had scraped.
Qingyu gave him no chance to catch his breath, took a step forward, and stopped the tip of his katana at Kakashi's throat.
"I lost."
Kakashi lowered his arm, shook his head with a wry smile.
He lost.
[Collectible trait detected: Grade D trait]
[Rank D Trait: Dog Head Earth Escape]
[Effect: Defeated young Kakashi, increasing Earth Release talent by 30%.]
"Can this really cause a trait to drop?"
Qingyu looked at this newly emerged trait.
He discovered that even though traits were at the same level, the bonuses varied.
"You are the real genius, Qingyu."
Kakashido.
"No, I just did some special training."
Qingyu shook her head, then reached out to help Kakashi up.
"Would you like me to treat you using medical ninjutsu?"
Qingyu asked.
"That's not necessary."
Kakashi looked strange.
Unwittingly, Qingyu once again demonstrated his impressive medical ninjutsu.
This made Kakashi feel a sense of urgency.
Qingyu has learned so much and is still able to catch up with him, so what exactly is he lacking?
"The winner is Qingyu!"
Umino Shika realized what was happening and quickly announced.
Ms. Moto has a good eye.
Umino thought to herself with a smug smile.
Regardless of who wins, his class gains two geniuses.
At that moment, a white figure appeared nearby.
"Lord Madara, that's the whole story."
White Zetsu uses Yin Release ninjutsu to preserve what they see and transmit it to their White Zetsu companions, who then relay it back layer by layer.
This is a Yin Release technique that Madara Uchiha used to control a mountain clan ninja with genjutsu and interrogate him, which he then improved to create a Yin Release ninjutsu with similar effects.
