Chapter 527 Obito’s Strength Crisis

After dinner and a period of rest, Rin Nohara prepared to find an open space to test Milotic’s new abilities.

Only by understanding each other’s abilities can they unleash stronger combat power when fighting together.

Some disciples were very interested in Milotic, who performed excellently in battle, and wanted to go watch.

They discussed for a while, and finally, all the disciples went together. Those who were interested watched, and those who were not interested could cultivate nearby. Being together was better than training alone.

To prevent any accidents, Muzuki sent a Shadow Clone to follow secretly.

Six Paths City was still the size of a small town, and most of the surrounding area was wasteland. Rin Nohara quickly found a quiet, uninhabited place.

“Summoning Technique!”

Rin Nohara quickly formed hand seals and then slammed her hand onto the ground.

Bang!

White smoke flashed, and a slender, milky-white figure appeared.

“Awoo~”

Milotic affectionately lowered her head and rubbed against Rin Nohara’s body.

Rin Nohara also cooperated, stroking Milotic’s head.

“So big,” Obito exclaimed.

Having been accustomed to Pokémon like Charmeleon and Rockruff, whose bodies were smaller than theirs, seeing Milotic, who was over six meters long, gave them a sense of a colossal creature.

“Summoning Technique!”

Other disciples also summoned their Nin-Beasts.

Charmeleon had just finished eating and was resting comfortably in the cozy nest Grandma had made for her. Suddenly summoned, she saw Obito and her fists instinctively hardened.

“Look at Little Milotic, then look at you. Why don’t you grow bigger?” Obito said, looking disappointed.

If she hadn’t evolved, it would have been fine, but they were both evolved Nin-Beasts, and the difference was so great that Obito was truly speechless.

Charmeleon wanted to curse. Was her height something she could decide?

Charmeleon looked in the direction Obito was pointing. She wanted to see how tall Little Milotic was now.

“Holy moly, where did this big beauty come from?” Zorua’s voice echoed in everyone’s minds.

Charmeleon wholeheartedly agreed, giving Zorua a thumbs-up. As expected of a translator, he had good taste.

Charmeleon ignored Obito and ran to Milotic’s side, greeting her enthusiastically, “Char!”

Compared to a non-human contractor, meeting a beauty was, of course, more important.

“Beauty, have we met somewhere before?” Zorua translated.

Immediately, Zorua showed a look of disdain, “Who understands, my family? Why is Charmeleon so Obito today?”

Obito:???

What did that have to do with him? And since when did he become an adjective?

Slap!

Shisui’s finger precisely tapped Zorua on the forehead, “Where did you learn such strange words?”

Zorua chuckled, not speaking, and bluffed his way through.

Milotic nodded.

They had indeed met, but back then, she was still Feebas.

“Little Milotic, let’s train. Use all the abilities you currently master,” Rin Nohara prepared to get down to business.

“Awoo!” Milotic let out a clear cry, signaling others to step back to avoid accidental injury.

Charmeleon still wanted to chat with Milotic, but seeing that she completely ignored her, she could only helplessly retreat, her slightly drooping tail silently conveying her mood.

Seeing that Milotic’s ability test was about to begin, Kakashi shifted his gaze from Rockruff and focused his attention on Milotic.

The other disciples also looked towards Milotic.

‘Twister!’

Milotic tensed her body, unleashed Chakra, and swung her tail. Instantly, strong winds swept across the field, and a five to six-meter whirlwind rapidly formed, knocking down several large trees in front of Milotic.

‘Water Pulse!’

Next, Milotic opened her mouth, condensed a large amount of Chakra, performed Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation, and spat out a basketball-sized water ball, smashing it onto the ground.

Boom!!

An explosion sounded, a pit appeared in the ground, mud, stones, and water droplets splattered, and gray mist rose.

“This Water Release’s power is not ordinary,” Kakashi thought to himself.

Although the water ball looked small, it seemed to have used some special technique, and its actual power was very great.

Whoosh!

Milotic darted to a large tree and wrapped her slender body around it.

Crack!

The large tree instantly broke into several segments of broken wood.

‘Aqua Tail!’

Milotic landed steadily, began to condense Chakra on her tail, and then slammed it onto the ground.

Rumble!!

A huge roar sounded, and the slammed spot instantly became a pit, with several large cracks spreading outwards.

“If I hadn’t dodged that move at the time, even with Armament Haki Secret Technique, it would have been difficult,” Kakashi secretly thought.

Armament Haki has excellent defensive capabilities, but it doesn’t put the user into an invulnerable state where they won’t get hurt.

‘Attract!’

Milotic turned towards Charmeleon, tilted her head slightly, and winked her left eye, her body emitting a pink glow.

“Char!”

Pink heart patterns appeared in Charmeleon’s eyes, and she slowly approached Milotic.

“No, what kind of Ninjutsu is this?” Obito looked at Charmeleon, who seemed to have lost her soul, dumbfounded.

“Probably a Genjutsu?” Kakashi was a bit uncertain.

Unable to bear it, Obito caught up, grabbed Charmeleon’s head, and shook her wildly. It was too embarrassing.

“Awoo!” The awakened Charmeleon let out an angry dragon’s roar, looking at Obito with dissatisfaction.

It was fine that he wasn’t human normally, but he even had to disturb her from looking at a beauty.

Whoosh!

Obito entered Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, his entire body’s Chakra erupted, burning with fierce flames, silently staring at Charmeleon.

He felt that Charmeleon was getting a bit confused about who was in charge.

“Char~” Charmeleon’s cry softened, and she immediately calmed down.

She was still a young dragon that hadn’t fully grown, not a match for Obito, this evil Uchiha brat.

When she became a complete dragon, she would definitely let Obito know what dragon dignity was!

‘Life Dew!’

Milotic continued to demonstrate her abilities, releasing a blue-green water ball towards Rin Nohara.

The water ball exploded in the air, and drops of blue-green water fell onto Rin Nohara and the others.

The water droplets, imbued with healing power, made Charmeleon feel refreshed in body and mind, and even Obito didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

Charmeleon couldn’t help but look at Milotic again. This was simply a goddess.

“Awoo,” Milotic looked at Rin Nohara and let out a clear cry.

“She said two more moves would be more intuitive to use in battle,” Zorua translated.

Kakashi showed an interested expression. If Milotic said so, then these two moves must be very suitable for battle.

Currently, all the moves Milotic had used in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament had been demonstrated. Kakashi was very curious about the effects of these two battle-suitable moves and why Milotic hadn’t used them during the match.

“Oh, I see. Then…” Rin Nohara prepared to enter the arena to fight Milotic.

“Rin, you can’t go up. It has to be someone else,” Zorua continued to translate.

Obito wanted to volunteer to go up and help Rin Nohara’s Nin-Beast train, but someone was faster than him, or rather, some beast was faster.

“Char!” Charmeleon volunteered and stepped forward.

She wanted to improve her relationship with Milotic.

Obito couldn’t help but cover his face. He didn’t understand where Charmeleon got the confidence to fight Milotic. Wasn’t this just asking for humiliation?

However, Obito couldn’t persuade the excited Charmeleon at all.

“Battle start!” Rin Nohara, acting as a temporary referee, shouted the start.

Fearing that she would damage Milotic’s perfect body, Charmeleon did not use her best flames but instead used Chakra to strengthen her claws and slash at Milotic.

But Milotic didn’t have so many qualms. She regarded this as a normal battle, condensed Chakra on her tail, and swung her tail, which carried a water current.

Bang!

Charmeleon flew backward and slammed heavily onto the ground, her eyes turning into circles, looking dazed.

“She’s too weak. Can someone stronger come?” Zorua translated with a hint of reluctance.

Obito’s mouth twitched. He thought it was good that Charmeleon fainted; if she were still conscious, she might be even more heartbroken.

Just as Obito was speechless about his Nin-Beast, Might Guy stepped forward, revealing his bright white teeth and laughing loudly, “In that case, I’ll do it! I want to experience the strength of an opponent who made Kakashi struggle!”

Obito had no choice but to close his mouth, which he was about to open.

“Battle start!”

As soon as Rin Nohara finished speaking, Might Guy immediately opened the Eight Gates’ Fourth Gate and attacked Milotic.

“Leaf Whirlwind!”

Might Guy chose his best whirlwind kick as his opening move.

Although the Leaf Whirlwind move was simple and unadorned, Might Guy’s strength was strong enough, and the Eight Gates’ Chakra was plentiful enough, so the Leaf Whirlwind was simple, but its power was not weak.

‘Aqua Ring!’

Milotic did not dodge but instead condensed Chakra around her body to create a water curtain. The water curtain clung to Milotic’s skin, making her body glow with a deep blue luster.

Thud!

Milotic’s slender body flew backward and slammed onto the ground, with some scratches on her milky-white skin.

Might Guy’s kick did not cause too much damage to Milotic. Milotic quickly got up and then opened her mouth, spraying a water pillar at Might Guy.

Whoosh!

Might Guy unleashed Chakra, his figure flashing, dodging the incoming water pillar, and then kicked out another whirlwind kick towards Milotic.

This time, Milotic condensed Chakra in her tail and swung it to meet the attack.

Bang!

A dull collision sound rang out, and Milotic and Might Guy each retreated a short distance.

At this moment, the water curtain on Milotic’s body glowed, and all the previous scratches on Milotic’s body disappeared, returning to normal.

“So that’s it,” Kakashi thought with some surprise.

He understood why Milotic hadn’t used this move during the match: because Kakashi hadn’t really attacked Milotic much, and without injury, there was no need for healing.

“Don’t worry about me getting hurt. Feel free to use your full power,” Zorua continued to convey Milotic’s words.

Might Guy immediately concentrated his Breathing Technique and entered Rock Breathing Chakra Mode. Since Milotic said so, he wouldn’t hold back.

“Morning Peacock!”

Might Guy pushed his Breathing Technique to the limit. A large amount of Chakra in his body rapidly burned with the activation of the Rock Breathing Chakra Mode. At this moment, Might Guy’s strength reached the peak of the Fourth Gate state.

He suddenly rushed towards Milotic and then rapidly swung his fists, each punch so fast it was dazzling.

Due to the extremely fast punching speed, friction between his fists and the air generated flames. These flames, forming at different speeds, struck Milotic one after another.

Numerous clusters of flames appeared simultaneously, like a fiery red peacock suddenly fanning its tail, both dazzling and beautiful.

But for Milotic, who was the target of so many flames, these flames were not so pleasant.

She spat out a thick water pillar to intercept, but there were too many fireballs, and Milotic couldn’t block even half of them.

Boom! Boom!!

One by one, fist-sized fireballs struck Milotic, engulfing her in a blaze.

Seeing this, Rin Nohara couldn’t help but worry a little, condensing Chakra to prepare to use Medical Ninjutsu to heal Milotic.

At the same time, she hoped this would make Milotic more reserved in the future.

Telling Might Guy to use his full power was simply too sharp, even Obito wouldn’t say such a thing.

As the firelight receded, Milotic’s injured figure was revealed. Her milky-white skin had several scorched and blood-red marks.

Just as Rin Nohara wanted to call a stop to the battle and treat Milotic, Milotic’s entire body glowed green, her burnt skin peeled away, her wounds healed, and not even a single scar was left, as if nothing had happened.

“I see,” Kakashi understood why Milotic would say that these two moves could only be better demonstrated in battle.

One move could automatically repair the body, but the healing effect was average. The other move was very strong, able to recover from severe injuries to perfect condition, but it consumed a large amount of Chakra.

Kakashi could only say that he was fortunate to be cautious. If he had chosen not to attack Rin Nohara during the match but instead chose to directly fight Milotic, his Chakra might have been depleted first.

Milotic was like a super Nin-Beast version of Rin Nohara, truly capable of both healing and fighting.

Obito wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He suddenly realized a very serious matter: not only could Charmeleon not defeat Milotic, but it seemed he himself might not be able to defeat Milotic either.

Milotic not only countered his Fire Release but also could recover herself crazily. Obito couldn’t think of how he could win.

“I’ll ask Muzuki-sensei if specializing in Breathing Techniques can quickly activate the corresponding Breathing Technique Chakra Mode,” Obito fell into thought.

He didn’t want to play this subordinate role anymore; he wanted to switch professions.

…

The next day, the Ninja World Youth Martial Arts Tournament continued with its unfinished matches.

At this time, only eight contestants remained in the lounge.

Kakashi and the others sat together, chatting softly, with Asuma occasionally interjecting as he was somewhat familiar with Kakashi and the others.

The remaining Nagato, Sasori, and Mei Terumī all closed their eyes, resting, quietly waiting for the matches to officially begin.

“Number One Nagato versus Number Eight Sasori,” the referee’s voice entered the lounge.

Nagato opened his eyes and walked towards the door with a calm expression. No matter who his opponent was, he would win the match.

Sasori also opened his eyes and walked indifferently towards the battle arena. Not for the reward, but to stay in the lounge longer to observe Kakashi, he had to try his best to win the battle.

PS: My condition is very bad today. I originally planned to take a leave of absence, but after thinking about it, I still tried my best to write a 4k chapter. I can’t ask for votes one day and then take a leave of absence the next, that’s a bit abstract.

Go to bed early and get enough rest. I hope my brothers can also go to bed early, and I hope my writing state will be better tomorrow, so I can write more words.
