Although Hideki has announced the winner, most of the audience are still in a daze.
"Wait, what happened?"
"Wasn't Obito in a great advantage just now? How come he lost all of a sudden?"
"And that large-scale wind jutsu just now, can a ninja school student really perform it?"
Because there was a lot of smoke and wind on the stage just now, ordinary students and parents had no idea what was going on.
Only the heads of the great ninja clans, who were all jonin, caught more details, and each of them seemed to be thinking about something.
Under the guardrail of the audience seats, Obito, who was knocked unconscious, was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. He shook his head from side to side and felt dizzy.
Then a figure blocked a lot of light, causing him to look up subconsciously.
It turned out to be Asuma...
I saw this guy walking over and reaching out to pull him up.
Obito then remembered that he was in a competition and that he had just lost...
The belated feeling of loss began to surge into his heart, and he couldn't help but say:
"Damn... Is this the difference between a loser and a genius?"
"Even though I went through so much painful training, my breathing skills were still easily surpassed by you, Asuma..."
Even though Obito had just retorted to Hyuga Yoko not long ago, saying that there are no geniuses in the world.
But the failure just now made him less confident in his theory...
Obito looked at Asuma's outstretched hand again and said:
"Okay, you don't have to pretend to be so serious. Just laugh at me as loudly as you want."
"I really lost this time, so I won't talk back."
Asuma was a little speechless and said:
"It seems that you, Obito, have a deep prejudice against geniuses."
"Although I am good at wind-style transformation, learning breathing techniques does have many advantages."
"But in order to catch up with you, Obito, before this martial arts tournament, I also went through a lot of terrible special training that you can't even imagine..."
As he spoke, Asuma's eyes became moist.
Some terrible memories that he had deliberately suppressed took the opportunity to flood into his mind:
"...I want to master the breathing method before the martial arts competition, and time is a bit tight. There is no other way, so I will start with the fifth gear of the breathing helmet..."
"...Yes, just use the wind chakra to inhale as much air as possible. What? Are you worried about breaking it? Don't worry, the lungs are not so inconvenient..."
"...Asuma, do you know? There is actually a lot of oxygen in the water..."
Just recalling a few small fragments, Asuma felt a chill down his spine and had difficulty breathing.
After shaking his head vigorously to shake off these memories back into the abyss of memory, Asuma said to Obito in a vicissitudes of life tone:
"Believe me, my pain is greater than yours."
It was just a short sentence, but it made Obito feel the same way and realize how much blood and tears were hidden behind it...
That's right.
Although Mr. Hideki usually smiles, he always has the temperament of a mad scientist when he is helping people with special training.
In his opinion, the so-called genius was probably just an experimental subject who could withstand more brutal and difficult special training...
Thinking about the fact that Asuma had gone through even more cruel anti-human training than himself, Obito even had a moment of sympathy for Asuma.
Of course, this thought disappeared in an instant. Obito held Asuma's hand and said through gritted teeth:
"But I still hate you. I won't lose to you again next time!"
"Same here."
Asuma laughed and pulled Obito up.
The next moment, belated applause and cheers broke out all around:
"You two fought well! Amazing!"
"Obito, I won't call you the last one anymore!"
"Asuma, keep working hard and strive to win the martial arts tournament championship!"
Might Guy in the back row of the audience burst into tears:
"From a lowly student to a genius and recognized by everyone through hard work, this is the climax of youth that I pursue!"
"Damn it, I also want to shed the sweat of my youth with my rival like this!"
"How come Kakashi has been away on a mission for more than half a year and hasn't come back yet..."
With no other options, Guy could only continue to do squats at an even more ridiculous speed, causing the audience around him to stay away from him...
In the audience, Fugaku felt a little regretful when he saw Obito lose, but he was also relieved at the same time.
This is fine...
If Obito wins, the final will be a civil war within the Uchiha clan. It will be too ostentatious and will only attract more unnecessary fear.
Then he looked at the Sandaime who looked pleased and said:
"Congratulations, Hokage-sama."
"Asuma is worthy of being the son of your Ninja Doctor. He has mastered such a powerful wind-style ninjutsu at such a young age."
"You flatter me."
The Sandaime shook his head slightly.
"This kid is still far from it. He just relies on the good compatibility between Wind Escape and Breathing Technique. The combination of the two can achieve such a good effect."
"The real amazing one is Hideki."
"I am more surprised by Obito's performance."
"He is actually able to skillfully store the fire chakra in his body for future use."
"I didn't expect that breathing techniques could be so useful."
"If safety can be ensured, this technique may even be enough to change the logic of future ninja battles."
No one expected the Sandaime to think so highly of this technique, but on second thought it made sense.
Wind escape talent is rare after all, and even if it is combined with breathing techniques, it cannot be popularized.
However, Obito's technique can obviously be used in other five elements techniques, and is more valuable for promotion.
Although there are many limitations, they are experienced in battle and cannot be unaware of the significance of being able to use the unmatched ninjutsu at any time.
If ordinary breathing methods are to them, they are just icing on the cake and an unnecessary existence.
After adding this technique, the breathing method has surpassed many secret techniques passed down from generation to generation by small ninja clans and should not be underestimated.
"Shikaku, what do you think?"
Shikaku listened to everyone's discussion and asked without comment.
Shikaku groaned,
"Breathing techniques can improve chakra and physical fitness."
"If even this kind of effect similar to the Unprinted Ninjutsu can be achieved, then the promotion of it in Konoha is basically a foregone conclusion."
"Whether our Hyuga clan is involved or not..."
Hiashi also nodded with a complicated expression.
I didn't expect that Hideki Kimura could actually hand in such an answer that would satisfy most of the ninja clans.
Now even he was a little jealous of this plan.
Because if the Hyuga clan can get involved, it will definitely greatly increase their influence in the village.
If everything goes well, maybe he can even have a glimpse of becoming the fourth Hokage...
But the problem is that Hyuga clan ninjas basically do not learn the Five Elements Technique, and cannot gain much benefit from this combination of breathing method and nature change.
In this case, the old antiques in the clan who have always been conservative and short-sighted will probably not give in easily...
As the future head of the Hyuga clan, what should he do?
…
Ten minutes passed quickly and the battle between Shisui and Tetsuka was about to begin.
The two men came to the ring and stood facing each other, waiting for the instruction to start the fight.
At the same time, an old man with a gloomy look quietly appeared and came to a dark corner of the audience...
Although his opponent was Tetsuka, Shisui on the ring was thinking about the upcoming battle with Asuma.
He had already learned about the Storm Breathing Technique from Obito and knew that it was the biggest nemesis of ordinary breathing techniques.
After all, Shisui is too young and his physical fitness is not as good as Asuma's.
If he were to fight Asuma who used breathing techniques without the help of breathing techniques, even a genius like him would not be able to think of a good solution.
In fact, this move consumes a lot of energy. If you encounter it under normal circumstances, you can deal with it by just avoiding the attack temporarily and delaying time.
But now it happened to be a ring match, and there was no enough space for him to delay.
Therefore, if Asuma is in his best condition, he would be invincible in a ring battle.
Fortunately, Asuma doesn't have much chakra left, so if he defends with all his strength, he might be able to hold on.
However, the prerequisite for doing so is to have sufficient physical strength and chakra.
This also means that in this battle with Tetsuka, he must make a quick decision...
