Chapter 94: The Battle between Crouching Dragon and Phoenix

Number one, Kotetsu Hagane versus number two, Izumo Kamizuki.

When Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane heard that they were facing each other in the first round, they couldn’t help but sigh, lamenting that fate was blind to make the two brothers fight in the very first match.

“Kotetsu, I thought today would be the day for us to make our names, but fate is truly jealous of talent,” Izumo Kamizuki said with a sigh.

He hadn’t expected his and Kotetsu Hagane’s luck to be so bad, encountering each other in the first match.

“Indeed,” Kotetsu Hagane also nodded with a sorrowful expression.

If they hadn’t met, with the perfected Enemy Confusion Technique, they might have met in the finals and created a beautiful story.

“Izumo, the perfected Enemy Confusion Technique is very powerful. Since we are brothers fighting, how about we disable this technique?” Kotetsu Hagane suggested.

After thinking for a moment, Izumo Kamizuki smiled and nodded, saying, “That would be excellent.”

“You two, stop acting like ancient people and get into the combat area to prepare for the fight. Don’t waste time,” Anko said, exasperated.

Ignoring Anko, who lacked a sense of ceremony, the two walked towards the open combat area, striking poses and preparing to fight.

“Begin!” Muzuki shouted, seeing that the two were ready.

Upon hearing Muzuki’s command to begin, both quickly charged at each other, starting close-quarters combat.

However, their skill levels were similar, they had spent a long time together, and were taught by the same teacher, so for a time, they fought to a standstill, evenly matched.

Kotetsu Hagane threw a right punch, Izumo Kamizuki also threw a right punch; Kotetsu Hagane used an elbow strike, Izumo Kamizuki also used an elbow strike. The two exchanged blows for two minutes without a clear winner.

“It’s about time,” Kotetsu Hagane thought to himself.

“Although we are brothers, the Ninja world is very cruel. I will inherit your will, Izumo, and continue to win,” Kotetsu Hagane thought with a sense of guilt, preparing to use the Enemy Confusion Technique.

“Kotetsu, I’m sorry, I am a Ninja,” Izumo Kamizuki said with a slight smile, quickly forming hand signs. He was going to use the Enemy Confusion Technique!

Are you kidding? How could he not use the Ninjutsu he painstakingly trained? Agreeing to Kotetsu Hagane was just to paralyze him.

“Konoha!” Kotetsu Hagane instantly retracted his guilt. This Izumo Kamizuki was even more dishonest than him!

As Izumo Kamizuki completed his hand signs, four alluring, somewhat Izumo Kamizuki-esque older sister clones instantly appeared on the field.

Even though he had cast this Ninjutsu many times himself, Kotetsu Hagane still subconsciously slowed down his hand signs, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the magnificent and imposing mountains.

Not only Kotetsu Hagane, but many of the surrounding students were also drawn by the immense gravity, looking at those magnificent and imposing mountains.

Muzuki was stunned for a second, thinking, isn’t this the Sexy Jutsu developed by Naruto? How did it appear early? This butterfly’s wind is a bit improper.

Izumo Kamizuki took advantage of Kotetsu Hagane’s daze and directly kicked Kotetsu Hagane down.

Kotetsu Hagane, who was attacked, instantly sobered up, thinking to himself that this Ninjutsu was truly terrifying, even someone with his strong will had fallen for it.

The sobered Kotetsu Hagane quickly pulled away, running while forming hand signs to release his Ninjutsu.

As Kotetsu Hagane released his Ninjutsu, four different, yet equally alluring, older sister clones quickly appeared on the field.

Looking at the suddenly appearing older sisters, Izumo Kamizuki’s pursuit gradually slowed down, while Kotetsu Hagane took the opportunity to counterattack.

“These two idiots, how can such clones be useful? They look so weak,” Anko felt that Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki were haphazardly modifying it.

The battle in the open area was intense, and the audience below watched with great satisfaction. In the end, Izumo Kamizuki had a slight edge, winning the first battle.

“Izumo, this isn’t your power; it’s Big Brother Ebisu’s power!” Kotetsu Hagane felt that he didn’t lose due to strength, but due to his thick skin; he actually didn’t make the first move because of guilt!

“Big Brother Ebisu indeed deserves the most credit for perfecting this Ninjutsu, but a win is a win. I will carry your will, Kotetsu, and continue to win,” Izumo Kamizuki said with a triumphant smile.

Meanwhile, the students below began to discuss after hearing their conversation.

“Ebisu? Isn’t that the senior who was the only one to advance last week? He actually took the lead in developing such a Ninjutsu,” some students felt somewhat incredulous.

In the previous strength test, Ebisu alone advanced to Group A, so he had quite a reputation in Group C.

“It’s him. I know him; he’s in my class, both of us are in Class 6 of the fourth year,” a classmate of Ebisu’s came forward and nodded.

“To be fair, this technique might actually be quite practical. Is he a genius?” someone analyzed seriously.

In any case, Ebisu had become famous in Group C.

However, it was unfortunate that Izumo Kamizuki only got to enjoy it once; his opponent in the second round was Yūgao Uzuki.

Yūgao Uzuki didn’t even glance at the clones Izumo Kamizuki produced, constantly chasing after Izumo Kamizuki. Izumo Kamizuki was no match and quickly lost.

“Damn it, I almost forgot there were female students!” Izumo Kamizuki realized that the Enemy Confusion Technique still had its flaws.

“Izumo, this is what you get for backstabbing your brother!” Kotetsu Hagane loudly mocked.

…

Group A was also conducting practical combat tests.

“Number one, Uchiha Shisui versus number two, Kurenai Yuhi.”

“Is it him in the first battle…?” Kurenai Yuhi was slightly startled when she heard her name.

She had only known Shisui for a little over ten days, but Shisui had already left a deep impression on her. The seniors in their team were easily defeated, and he, as a first-year student, dominated the strength test, taking first place.

“Yuhi, just do your best,” Asuma said, comforting her.

“Be careful of his speed; he’s very fast,” Raido Namiashi reminded her.

The reason he lost that time was that he underestimated Shisui’s speed.

Kurenai Yuhi nodded, calming herself as she walked to the open area, her eyes filled with determination.

“Begin!”

When she truly fought Shisui, Kurenai Yuhi knew that Raido Namiashi’s loss was not unjust.

Her Taijutsu and Ninjutsu were completely suppressed; she had almost no power to retaliate, and merely defending against attacks took all her effort.

Ultimately, Kurenai Yuhi could not withstand Shisui’s offense and quickly lost the battle.

“Uchiha Shisui wins,” Muzuki announced the battle result.

He had used his Appraisal on Kurenai Yuhi’s potential, and it was quite good, an A.

However, Kurenai Yuhi’s talent lay in Genjutsu, and Konoha’s Genjutsu was somewhat awkward; excluding Mangekyo abilities, there were basically none that were effective.

“It’s okay, Raido also lost to him. This guy is too much of a genius,” Asuma quickly comforted her.

Raido Namiashi, who was caught in the crossfire, glared at Asuma unhappily, thinking, ‘Are you comforting me by rubbing salt in the wound?’

“Number seventeen, Uchiha Obito versus number eighteen, Might Guy.”

Another day, asking for monthly votes and subscriptions. Also, recommending a friend’s book.

Book Title: “In This Life, Even Love Dogs Don’t Talk.”

In my first life, I confessed to my childhood friend, but I was rejected. She said she only saw me as a brother. In my second life, I saved a rich, beautiful senior. I thought I could have a sweet romance, but who would have thought that the rich, beautiful senior caused a lifelong psychological trauma for me…

In my third life, I woke up!

In this life, even love dogs don’t talk!

Woof! Woof woof!!”
