Chapter 95:

"The two of them actually met in the first round."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

The fourth-year students watching the game all felt pity. Might Guy and Obito were the top two in the fourth-year's combat test. Even in the strongest Group A, they had the strength to secure the second and fourth positions.

But when they met like this in advance, one of them was destined to be eliminated early.

'No matter who wins, Obito or Might Guy, there will be one less powerful opponent for me,' Asuma thought to himself as he watched Might Guy and Obito meet in the first round.

He was not as familiar with Might Guy as Obito, and he didn't know the specifics of Might Guy's actual combat abilities. Still, since Might Guy could defeat Obito in the combat test, his strength must not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Asuma showed a serious expression, preparing to collect information about Obito and Might Guy through this battle.

"The first battle is with Gai..." Obito showed a troubled expression.

Might Guy mastered Soru while Obito had not.

But Obito didn't feel that he had no hope of winning.

Gai's current strength wasn't sufficient to support multiple Sorus in a short period, putting too much pressure on his leg muscles.

So he could only say that he was at a disadvantage, not that he couldn't fight.

When Might Guy saw that his first opponent was Obito, he felt fired up.

The two quickly walked to the fighting area and prepared to start the match.

"Start!" After seeing the two of them getting into their stances, Makoto quickly announced the beginning of the battle.

*Swish*

As Makoto's words faded, Might Guy vanished from his starting position.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Might Guy's passionate battle cry echoed through the arena,

Facing Obito as his opponent, they knew each other very well after practicing together every day, so Might Guy did not make a tentative attack and went all out right from the start.

He instantly completed the three-speed superposition and rushed towards Obito at an extremely high speed, then unleashed his strongest kick.

*Bang*

Because Obito was marginally slower, he found himself struck by Might Guy's heel attack. Although he managed to block it with his arm, the impact sent shudders of pain through Obito.

"So fast!" The surrounding students were surprised by Might Guy's speed.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Might Guy executed a powerful kick aimed at Obito.

Obito, seemingly caught off guard, struggled to react in time. Just when victory seemed within Might Guy's grasp, the situation took a sudden and unexpected turn.

*Puff*

The Obito he had targeted vanished into thin air.

"It's a trap!" Might Guy swiftly pivoted, scanning his surroundings for signs of the real Obito.

Meanwhile, the genuine Obito had executed a Fire Release ninjutsu not far from Might Guy.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

With a flourish of hand seals, Obito summoned a colossal, three-meter-tall fire dragon that lunged menacingly toward Might Guy.

The heat radiating from the fire dragon was palpable at such close quarters. Despite the throbbing pain in his leg muscles, Might Guy executed Soru twice to evade the fire dragon.

However, the Dragon Fire attack differed from the Fireball. It possessed a surprising ability to change direction. As Might Guy skillfully avoided it, Obito altered the fire dragon's trajectory to continue its pursuit.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

As the fire dragon drew closer to Might Guy, a wall of water materialized to obstruct its path.

*Pshhh*

Makoto leaped into action.

Although Obito possessed the capacity to control the fire dragon and halt its advance, Makoto's concerns about Obito's condition and the unpredictability of the ninjutsu led him to intervene by erecting the water barrier.

"Uchiha Obito wins!" Makoto declared the outcome with finality, concluding a remarkable battle that kept everyone at the edge of their seats.

"Gai, this one's for me," Obito proudly chuckled after learning the battle's result.

He had finally won against Might Gai in actual combat, turning the tables on a seemingly losing situation.

However, before Might Gai could offer any words, Obito collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Obito, are you okay?" Might Gai hurried to inspect his condition.

*Swish*

Makoto elegantly materialized in the open area, taking Obito into his arms. "It appears he has depleted too much chakra and is extremely fatigued. I'll take him to Konoha Hospital for a check-up."

He left behind a shadow clone that continued overseeing the actual combat test while escorting Obito to the hospital.
