Chapter 738 Armed Might Guy (asking for monthly ticket)

“Damn it, why does Nagato have no weaknesses now?!”

Obito put down the intelligence report, scratched his head vigorously, and then lay down on the bed.

There were still three days until the Eight Finals, and he had already studied Nagato’s intelligence for two days, but he still couldn’t come up with a good battle plan.

In terms of Ninjutsu, Nagato had a high level of Chakra Nature Transformation for all five natures, and could skillfully use Ninjutsu of all five natures.

Furthermore, Nagato could flexibly combine the five natures, using Combination Ninjutsu stronger than single Nature Transformation, such as Wind and Fire, and Water and Lightning, and even using all five natures simultaneously.

Compared to the Youth Martial Arts Tournament period, Nagato’s Taijutsu had greatly improved, which could be seen from his battle with the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage’s Water Clone tried to sneak attack, but Nagato’s quick, precise, and fierce kick directly dispersed it.

In terms of Genjutsu, although Nagato had never used Genjutsu, he possessed the Rinnegan of the legendary Six Paths Sage, and Obito estimated that his Sharingan Genjutsu would be difficult to affect him.

The more Obito analyzed, the more he felt that Nagato was powerful and versatile, making him difficult to defeat.

“If only I had Guy’s Taijutsu or Kakashi’s speed.”

Obito sighed.

Compared to Nagato, the abilities he mastered were truly insufficient.

It seemed like a lot, but in reality, it was just three main techniques: Flame Breathing Fire Release, then the Flying Thunder God Technique, and finally the Mangekyo Sharingan.

If he had Might Guy’s Taijutsu, the probability of defeating Nagato would greatly increase.

Nagato’s Taijutsu had greatly improved, but compared to a pure Taijutsu master like Might Guy, it was still far behind.

Kakashi’s burst speed would allow him to better seize opportunities when Nagato revealed weaknesses.

“After finally defeating the Kazekage, am I going to stop at the Eight Finals…?”

A look of unwillingness appeared on Obito’s face.

If it were old strong figures like the Third Hokage or Third Tsuchikage, he wouldn’t mind, but he truly didn’t want to lose to Nagato.

Before the Martial Arts Tournament even began, Obito, who possessed both Kamui and the Flying Thunder God Technique, had resolved to redeem himself and defeat Nagato in the Martial Arts Tournament.

“No, I can’t give up!”

Obito did a carp jump off the bed, picked up Nagato’s material again, and began to study.

This time, he had even defeated a Kage, so how could he give up easily?

If he defeated Nagato again, roughly speaking, he would have defeated two Kage.

After all, Nagato defeated the Third Mizukage, and he defeated Nagato, so he must be greater than the Third Mizukage.

Twenty minutes later, Obito put down the material, clutching his scalp with both hands.

“Damn it, why is Nagato so versatile?!”

After slumping in the chair for two minutes, Obito stood up and walked towards the door.

He wanted to see how Kakashi and the others were preparing.

His draw in the Eight Finals was considered good; Kakashi and their opponents were the Third Kage of each village.

Obito first went to their room, and finding them not there, he asked around and learned that they were training in the Training Ground of Six Paths City, so he hurried to the Training Ground.

When Obito arrived at the Training Ground, Might Guy was continuously using Taijutsu to attack various training equipment, with a gust of wind from his punches, most of the specially made wooden stakes for training were damaged.

Kakashi and Shisui were quieter.

Kakashi was simply practicing his swordsmanship, repeatedly performing various basic swinging motions.

Shisui, on the other hand, was practicing Body Flicker Technique, his figure constantly flickering across the Training Ground, difficult to catch.

“There are only three days left until you fight the Hokage uncle, Kakashi, and you’re just practicing this?”

Obito couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing Obito’s voice, Kakashi stopped his sword swings, looked at Obito calmly, and asked:

“Then Obito, what do you think I should practice to defeat Sandaime?”

Obito was about to speak, but after a moment of thought, he couldn’t say anything.

He really couldn’t think of any ability Kakashi could practice to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If Kakashi cultivated Thunder Breathing and One Thought Cut to the realm Muzuki was in, he should be able to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But there were only three days left until the competition, and if Kakashi could cultivate Thunder Breathing and No Thought Strike to this realm in three days, Obito would have to suspect if Kakashi had been transmigrated, with a future, accomplished Kakashi taking his place.

Neither of these abilities was easy to cultivate; there was no possibility of quick success.

“You can’t give up just because it’s difficult, what if you succeed?”

Obito pondered for a while and replied.

“What are you talking about? Aren’t I training right now?”

Kakashi said with a speechless expression.

If he truly gave up completely, he wouldn’t be in the Training Ground right now.

It’s just that he didn’t have a readily useful ability to master like Might Guy, which is why he was practicing his swordsmanship as usual.

Obito scratched his head, realizing that Kakashi was indeed right, and he couldn’t refute it.

“It’s you, though, you look very relaxed. Do you think you can definitely win against Nagato?”

Kakashi put his White Fang back into its sheath and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Kakashi had watched all of Nagato’s battles very carefully and understood a lot about his strength.

Kakashi believed that the current Nagato possessed strength similar to the Kage-level powerhouses like Hiruzen Sarutobi, making him extremely difficult to defeat.

“No, I just couldn’t think of a good battle plan, so I came out for a stroll.”

Obito answered honestly.

Obito dared not boast in this regard; if he suffered a crushing defeat, Kakashi would surely mock him for a year.

“Battle plan? I can help you think, but I’m too tired after just training, so I can’t think of anything right now.”

Kakashi sat on a wooden stake, stroking his chin, and said.

“My shoulders are sore from all this sword swinging, and the meridians in my arms are connected to my brain, making it difficult for me to think.”

Saying that, Kakashi moved his shoulders a few times, smiling at Obito, his unspoken meaning being obvious.

Obito: …

Arms tired, brain thinking difficult, did he really think he hadn’t studied biology?

A hesitant look appeared on Obito’s face, and he finally gritted his teeth, walked behind Kakashi, and carefully began to massage Kakashi’s shoulders.

Kakashi, who was naturally evil, might have poor character, but Obito recognized his combat intelligence.

Previously, when the disciples’ strengths were not far apart, Kakashi could always win by relying on his stronger combat ability.

“Obito, did you not eat breakfast? Your strength is so small.”

Kakashi commented discontentedly.

Obito was furious, “How dare you, white-haired fellow, deceive me so!” He instinctively used his Breathing Technique to enhance his strength.

“Are you trying to crush my shoulder so I’ll regress in strength?”

Kakashi turned his head to look at Obito expressionlessly.

“Hehe, aren’t I just afraid you’d complain about the lack of strength?”

Obito chuckled awkwardly, immediately reducing his strength.

“Is this okay?”

Obito adjusted his strength while asking Kakashi for his opinion, finally applying the force that satisfied Kakashi.

Fifteen minutes later, Obito eagerly said:

“Your shoulders shouldn’t be sore now, you can think, right?”

Kakashi nodded, then shook his head.

Obito was speechless, “Just give me a clear answer, nodding and shaking your head, who knows what you’re trying to express.”

Seeing that Obito wasn’t getting it, Kakashi explained:

“My shoulders are indeed not sore anymore, but my arms are still sore, so I can’t think effectively for now.”

Obito’s eyes widened, wishing he could open his mouth and spit out a fireball to smash this hateful Kakashi to death.

“To win against Nagato, I’ll endure!”

Obito thought of the fame he would gain from defeating Nagato, forcibly suppressing the desire to condense Chakra in his throat, and massaged Kakashi’s arm again.

“Not even Rin has enjoyed this treatment, you’re really getting a bargain.”

Obito was indignant, constantly complaining about Kakashi in his heart.

“Obito, you know, the Chakra circulatory system is one whole, I feel my legs are a bit tired too.”

After Obito finished massaging his arm, Kakashi smiled and stretched out his legs, saying.

“Do you want me to warm your feet with Azure Flame?”

Obito replied faintly, looking as if he was ready to enter Flame Breathing Chakra Mode at any moment.

“Then never mind, just buy me three large bowls of ramen to eat, I’m hungry after training for so long.”

Kakashi retracted his outstretched legs, knowing when to stop.

“Three portions? Won’t that make you burst, can you eat that much?”

Obito felt Kakashi was deliberately wasting his money.

“Are you an idiot? Aren’t Shisui and Guy tired too?”

Kakashi retorted unceremoniously.

The massage service was exclusive, but the treat certainly couldn’t be enjoyed alone.

“Oh, oh.”

Obito felt that it was indeed wrong to eat alone, so he quickly used Flying Thunder God to buy three portions of ramen and returned.

“Shisui, Guy, let’s take a break and eat something.”

Kakashi called Shisui and Might Guy over to eat ramen together.

Neither of them was polite; they wiped the sweat from their faces and came over to eat.

Obito looked at the three people eating ramen and suddenly thought of a question.

It was indeed wrong for one person to eat alone, but why was he, the one not eating, paying for three people? Shouldn’t Kakashi be paying for Might Guy and Shisui?

“In the future, when I become Hokage, I must earn this money back.”

Obito gained another motivation to become Hokage.

When he became Hokage, he would definitely give Kakashi a ticket for entering with his right foot first.

After eating and drinking their fill, the four gathered to discuss how to deal with Nagato.

“Nagato’s Chakra is very strong; you must end the battle as quickly as possible. Once it drags on, you will definitely lose.”

Kakashi began to explain his thoughts to Obito.

Among Muzuki’s disciples, Obito’s Chakra was considered abundant, but compared to Nagato’s, it was truly insignificant.

Kakashi had sensed Nagato’s Chakra, and it was even stronger than that of the Third Hokage and others.

“Your key to victory is the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui. Although you have already used Kamui in battle, this will not affect how useful Kamui is. In fact, you can even use the currently exposed information to guide the enemy into making wrong judgments, such as the duration of the Kamui intangibility.”

“When the enemy thinks your Kamui can only last one or two seconds, but in reality, your Kamui can last several minutes, there’s so much more you can do.”

Obito had only used Kamui intangibility in two battles: one against Kitsuchi and one against Rasa.

In the battle with Kitsuchi, due to the cover of Ninjutsu, the spectators only knew that Obito used some means to evade the attack, and the exposed information was very limited.

The battle with Rasa was where the Kamui ability was truly exposed.

However, in the battle with Rasa, Obito only used Kamui intangibility for an instant to evade the attack, and did not maintain continuous intangibility. In Kakashi’s view, this was an exploitable information gap.

“If I were to fight Nagato, I would first make him misjudge Kamui.

Then I would find an opportunity to close the distance and trick him into using his repulsive Ninjutsu, using continuous Kamui intangibility to evade, and then open the Kamui Dimension to shoot out a large number of Flying Thunder God Kunai.

At close range, even Ninjutsu without hand signs would be useless, unless his true Taijutsu is several levels stronger than what he has shown so far.”

Obito listened, his eyes growing brighter, feeling that he wouldn’t need to give Kakashi a ticket for stepping with his right foot first after becoming Hokage.

This naturally intelligent white-haired Guy really had something; the massage and treat just now were not a loss.

“So troublesome, Taijutsu is still more suitable for me after all.”

Might Guy said, scratching his head. He practiced Eight Gates and Rock Breathing, so he didn’t understand these things.

“Although we need to end the battle quickly, the initial probing cannot be omitted. Perhaps the opponent also has information that we haven’t grasped.”

Shisui also expressed his opinion.

Obito could hide Kamui’s ability and could hide Susanoo, so Nagato might also have hidden other abilities.

“That’s something he’ll just have to figure out on his own.”

Kakashi agreed, saying that probing was indeed important; whoever first grasped all of the opponent’s information would greatly increase their chances of winning.

“My performance will definitely not be a problem. My rank in the last Martial Arts Tournament was the highest among us!”

Obito said, puffing out his chest.

Kakashi pouted, “Second place by luck is just a joke.”

He didn’t deny that the current Obito was strong, but during the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, Obito purely got a good draw to reach the finals.

Obito, having received advice from Kakashi, was very excited and began training in the Training Ground, preparing for the Eight Finals.

…

Time quickly arrived at the evening before the Eight Finals began.

Bang! Bang!

Under the setting sun, Might Guy continuously used Taijutsu, leaving one pit and one crack after another in the Training Ground.

At this moment, Might Guy’s clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he was still punching and kicking, constantly cycling through the Taijutsu he had mastered.

“Leaf Whirlwind!”

Might Guy condensed Chakra in his right foot and kicked out his last Taijutsu for the day.

It was already very late, and he had to go eat dinner, shower, and rest early to prepare for tomorrow’s battle.

As his right foot kicked out, a look of surprise appeared on Might Guy’s face.

The previously difficult Yin Release suddenly became smooth.

As Chakra was consumed, a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki appeared on Might Guy’s right foot.

Boom!!

A kick carrying Armament Haki struck the huge rock, directly causing the rock, which was taller than Might Guy himself, to explode.

After landing steadily, Might Guy extended his right hand and condensed Armament Haki again.

“Haha, I finally succeeded!”

Might Guy couldn’t help but burst into laughter, looking at his right hand covered in pitch-black Armament Haki.

He had seen the Third Raikage’s battles; his physical body was terrifyingly strong. If he didn’t have Armament Haki, he probably wouldn’t even have the capital to fight to his heart’s content.

PS:

There will be another chapter later, it should be published around three o’clock.

Also, a small request for monthly votes.
