Chapter 133 Obito Mission Completion (4k)

“Number two, Hyuga Homura, and number four, Might Guy, prepare for the exam.”

Might Guy’s opponent in the second round was Hyuga Homura, whom he had defeated once in the first semester.

Hyuga Homura did not participate in Muzuki’s summer special training, citing that he needed to receive training from his family elders at home.

He could understand Hyuga Homura’s reasoning; the Hyuga Clan’s Taijutsu was a unique style, and ordinary teachers truly couldn’t teach Hyuga students much.

Let alone that he was a Chunin at that time, even if he were a Special Jonin, Hyuga Homura probably still wouldn’t go, as he would undoubtedly feel that Muzuki couldn’t help him become stronger.

“Might Guy, you’ll need to be careful later. I’m much stronger now than last semester,” Hyuga Homura said, forming the Confrontation Seal.

He was very unwilling to be defeated by Might Guy during the final exam, so he asked his uncle to help him refine his Gentle Fist during the holiday, and now Hyuga Homura had the confidence to defeat Might Guy.

“You are?” Might Guy scratched his head, feeling that the person giving him the Byakugan seemed a bit familiar.

“I remember now, that Hyuga Daimon from last semester!” Might Guy recalled his memories from the final exam.

Hyuga Homura’s forehead was almost furrowed into a tic-tac-toe symbol; for a moment, he didn’t know if Might Guy was using a tactic to provoke him or genuinely had the wrong name.

Unable to hold back, Hyuga Homura loudly corrected him:

“It’s Homura, it’s Hyuga Homura! Is your memory really that bad, you Guy? Your theoretical grades must be terrible.”

“You’re pretty accurate at judging people. My theoretical grades really aren’t that good,” Might Guy said, forming the Confrontation Seal.

Hyuga Homura had nothing to say, took a deep breath, and prepared for battle.

Last time, his strength was a bit weaker than Might Guy’s; although he saw through Might Guy’s movements, his body couldn’t react.

This time was different; with his uncle’s help, both his speed and Gentle Fist level had improved, and with Gentle Fist, as long as he landed a hit, damage wasn’t an issue. He no longer had any weaknesses.

“Battle start!” the proctor immediately shouted after seeing that both were ready.

Hyuga Homura instantly activated his Byakugan, veins bulging around his eyes, seeing through all of Might Guy’s Chakra, body, bones, and various meridian points. Following this, Hyuga Homura quickly advanced, attacking Might Guy’s Chakra points.

Might Guy easily dodged by sidestepping, then sharply threw a punch. Hyuga Homura, who saw through Might Guy’s movements, met the punch with his palm and was pushed back over a meter.

“Such great strength, even greater than before!” Hyuga Homura’s expression turned very serious as he felt his slightly numb palm; Might Guy’s progress also seemed significant.

“At this level, I don’t need to use Breathing Technique,” Might Guy judged after a probing attack.

This setback for Hyuga Homura also led many students watching the battle to believe he was on the verge of defeat.

“Guy is still strong; Hyuga Homura is not his match,” Shiranui Genma said.

He was number two, and his first-round opponent was Hyuga Homura.

After fighting Hyuga Homura, Shiranui Genma felt that Hyuga Homura was only average in Group A. He could defeat the weaker Group A members like himself, but it was impossible for him to be a match for a Group A strongman like Might Guy.

“Yes, he’s probably the only Fourth Grade student who didn’t participate in the special training. Last semester, I felt he was very strong, but now he seems just average,” Ebisu said.

Most Fourth Grade students participated in the special training. Even if they hadn’t seen Might Guy’s battles firsthand, they could tell his strength from the test rankings.

Hyuga Homura no longer attacked easily; he wanted to use his powerful insight to seize Might Guy’s openings with a counter-attack.

However, while Hyuga Homura wanted to slow the pace, Might Guy was not going to waste any more time with him.

Suddenly, Hyuga Homura perceived Might Guy’s speed becoming extremely fast, appearing before him almost in the blink of an eye.

“Leaf Strong Whirlwind!” Might Guy directly burst with Chakra, using the Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear before Hyuga Homura and swiftly kick.

“So fast!” Hyuga Homura only had time for this thought to appear in his mind before he was instantly kicked flying.

Although Hyuga Homura still wanted to fight and quickly got up after falling, Might Guy gave him no chance. The next moment, he flashed again to appear in front of Hyuga Homura and delivered a heavy punch.

Hyuga Homura, already dizzy from the kick, had no time to react and was immediately knocked to the ground again. This time, he couldn’t get up quickly, and Might Guy directly pulled out a Kunai and held it against his body.

“Might Guy wins!” The proctor announced Might Guy’s victory.

“Sure enough, he lost with almost no resistance,” the outcome of the battle was as Shiranui Genma expected.

“Among the Fourth Grade students, only Obito probably has a chance, after all, that Guy occasionally defeats Guy,” Ebisu said after thinking for a moment.

“Why don’t we just ask someone from their class? They should have already fought once,” Shiranui Genma looked around, trying to find acquaintances from the summer special training.

Shiranui Genma saw Rin Nohara, and next to Rin Nohara was Obito; the two seemed to be chatting about something.

Shiranui Genma was a bit hesitant to go over. It was a bit awkward to ask if someone lost directly in front of them.

However, after Obito’s battle began, Shiranui Genma still couldn’t contain his curiosity and went to ask, dragging along a reluctant Ebisu.

“There are only a dozen people in the Grade Level Practical Exam, so it’ll be their turn soon. Why not just watch then?” Ebisu felt it was pointless.

Shiranui Genma ignored Ebisu’s words and led Ebisu to Rin Nohara, greeting her.

“By the way, who’s the top student in your second class this time?” Shiranui Genma asked with curiosity.

“It’s Guy,” Rin Nohara replied.

“Obito lost? Then it seems this practical exam’s top spot will still be Guy’s,” Shiranui Genma thought after getting the answer.

The class practical exam was yesterday; it was impossible to lose yesterday and win back today.

As time passed and battles continued, soon only the final combatants remained: Uchiha Obito and Might Guy.

Might Guy and Obito had good draws this time; they didn’t meet early and both made it to the end.

“Student Might Guy, Student Uchiha Obito, prepare for the exam!” the proctor shouted.

“Obito, go! You can do it,” Rin Nohara smiled, cheering Obito on.

Obito returned a smile and nodded, saying little but walking onto the battleground with a serious expression.

Yesterday’s defeat left Obito very unwilling. He could sense that in terms of strength, he was no worse than Might Guy, perhaps even stronger.

After summarizing the reasons for his failure, Obito knew it was because he had been overconfident and underestimated Might Guy, thinking that being ahead in progress meant a guaranteed win.

In reality, the gap between them wasn’t that big.

“Guy, thank you for giving it your all yesterday, but today is different,” Obito said, his face regaining a confident smile.

Today, he would absolutely not underestimate Might Guy again, and he would absolutely not lose the battle in front of Rin Nohara and Muzuki!

“That’s what youth is all about! Let’s fight with all our might!” Might Guy said, giving Obito a thumbs up. He could already feel Obito’s fighting spirit.

“Battle start!”

Whoosh!

As soon as the proctor’s words fell, Might Guy’s body instantly vanished from his original spot.

“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”

A passionate shout immediately came from Obito’s side, along with an incredibly fast whirlwind kick.

“Leaf Whirlwind!”

Obito did not dodge but kicked out a whirlwind kick with equal speed.

Bang!

Their legs collided, and the powerful impact created a gust of air that stirred up the sand on the ground.

“Did he use Breathing Technique from the start?” Feeling Obito’s unusual strength, Might Guy knew Obito had entered the Flame Breathing state.

Under the force of the impact, both retreated a short distance.

However, this was too short for both of them. Obito wrapped Chakra around his leg, condensed Chakra in his sole, and instantly appeared in front of Might Guy, delivering a fierce punch.

Might Guy blocked with his arm, and feeling the power transmitted through his arm, Might Guy showed an excited expression. As expected of a secret technique that he hadn’t finished training for two months, Obito’s Taijutsu, enhanced by Breathing Technique, could now contend with his.

“This makes me unable to hold back either,” Might Guy condensed Chakra in his palm, then clenched his fist and struck out, pushing Obito back, his breathing rhythm suddenly changing.

A large amount of oxygen was inhaled by Might Guy, strengthening every cell in his body. He could feel power surging endlessly, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

After using Breathing Technique, Might Guy’s speed and strength both surged dramatically. Simply swinging his fists and kicking his legs could generate gusts of wind.

“How did those two become so strong?!” The spectating Hyuga Homura looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He was astonished to discover that Might Guy, who had defeated him with one kick and one punch, hadn’t even used his full strength in their battle.

The speed and strength Might Guy and Obito displayed in their battle far exceeded what was shown in his fight with Might Guy.

He even felt that the current Obito could defeat him with just Taijutsu, and one should know that Obito was better at Ninjutsu!

“It’s only been less than three months, why has it become like this…?” Hyuga Homura found it a bit hard to accept.

He, who had even taken first place in the grade once last semester, was now so far behind this semester, even with his uncle’s help in training.

“Didn’t you notice? Everyone has gotten a lot stronger,” Hyuga Homura’s friend said.

“Before, during the holidays, didn’t the school set up a summer special training led by Teacher Muzuki? The effect was particularly good; Teacher Muzuki is truly strong.”

Hyuga Homura recalled today’s Grade Level Practical Exam. It seemed that the overall strength had indeed increased. He had encountered Shiranui Genma, his first-round opponent, before and easily defeated him, but today it took some effort.

“By the way, Homura, why didn’t you go? I remember everyone else seemed to have gone?”

Hyuga Homura didn’t answer his friend’s words. After hearing it, he wondered if it would have been better if he had made the same choice as everyone else.

He had troubled his uncle to take time to help him, but not only did he not narrow the gap in strength, the gap between him and Might Guy actually became even larger.

At this moment, the battle between Might Guy and Obito on the field had entered a white-hot phase. Both were using Breathing Technique and giving their all.

“Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!”

Under the enhancement of Flame Breathing, Obito’s Nature Transformation speed became faster, and he spat out a great number of small fireballs, forcing Might Guy to move almost without stopping.

After releasing Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Obito paused for a moment, while Might Guy took the opportunity to rush forward.

“Fierce Leaf Strong Whirlwind.” He condensed a large amount of Chakra in his leg, the Chakra’s glow enveloping his leg, and Might Guy delivered his strongest kick.

If it were before he learned Flame Breathing, Obito would try to use Body Flicker Technique to create distance, but now, sorry, the increased Nature Transformation speed was really useful.

Obito extended his palm, first wrapping it with Chakra, then quickly condensing Chakra for Nature Transformation.

A large amount of flames erupted from Obito’s palm, and Obito, carrying the flames, swung towards Might Guy’s leg.

Obito could feel immense pressure from his palm, but he believed Might Guy wasn’t having an easy time either; his flames were not to be trifled with.

Feeling the temperature of the flames, Might Guy’s expression changed, and he quickly changed his move, smashing his right fist towards Obito.

Obito directly used Body Flicker Technique to flash away. Might Guy also used Body Flicker Technique to pursue, but Obito noticed Might Guy paused for a moment in place.

Although the time was very short, Obito still noticed it, because Obito was too familiar with Might Guy.

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!” Obito took the opportunity to release another Fire Release Ninjutsu, a giant fireball over three meters tall, hurtling towards Might Guy.

Strike while the iron is hot, take his life while he’s down. Taking advantage of Might Guy’s leg injury, Obito used Great Fireball Technique as a feint, then combined it with Breathing Technique and Body Flicker Technique to steadily push Might Guy back.

The flames occasionally spewing from his palms and mouth made it difficult for Might Guy to cope. The more injured he became, the more he fell into a disadvantage. Although Might Guy’s fighting spirit was strong, his increasingly fatigued body could not support him to continue fighting, and his breathing became erratic.

“Uchiha Obito wins!” Finally, the proctor announced Obito’s victory.

“How did Obito lose yesterday? Didn’t he win beautifully today?” Shiranui Genma was somewhat puzzled.

He watched the entire battle and Obito rarely seemed to be at a disadvantage; he appeared to be stronger than Might Guy.

“Who knows, maybe he didn’t know Might Guy’s information yesterday?” Ebisu was a bit unsure, but information was indeed a very important aspect of battle.

“Truly two excellent students. Uchiha Obito has reached an extremely excellent level in both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. Although Might Guy didn’t display his Ninjutsu level, his Taijutsu has reached a level impossible for a student,” the proctor exclaimed.

The teachers beside him all nodded, showing expressions of approval. The two’s skill levels had already created a large gap from other students.

Although Might Guy lost, they also felt that Might Guy’s strength was no longer comparable to that of ordinary students.

“Obito, you finally got first place,” Rin Nohara smiled, happy for Obito.

Muzuki, who had been silently watching the battle, also showed a satisfied smile. Obito had finally not messed up at a crucial moment this time, displaying his due strength and defeating Might Guy.

And Obito’s training mission was settled immediately after Obito defeated Might Guy.

There will be more later.
