Nakamura Shota vs. Mitaro

Everyone looked at Saki Mirako in surprise.

If they remembered correctly, just a month ago, Saki Mirako was an introverted and gentle girl. How did she become so cunning after being taught by Ye Liangnai for a month?

"Alright, let's watch the game. You two, I just can't do anything with you!"

At this moment, Natsume Yuki, as the team leader, spoke up, bringing the two back to normal, and they both looked towards the arena.

This time, the two sides facing off is the captain of Team 4 against the members of Team 3.

"You've taught Team 4 quite well; their strength is already above the average level of all the major ninja villages. Impressive!"

Ye Liangnai looked at the two people in the arena and praised them.

"Even if they're good, they're no match for those three brats in your Team 2. If I'm not mistaken, they wouldn't be easily defeated even if they faced Special Jonin!"

Yugito's gaze swept over Natsume Yuki and the other two as he spoke.

"Pretty much. Once they've perfected their Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and fighting style, they should become even stronger!"

Ye Liangnai calmly replied, confirming the strength level of Natsume Yuki and the others.

Upon hearing his words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

How can someone with high popularity and not be defeated in a short period of time when facing Special Jonin?

Is this really something Genin graduated a month ago could do?

Unbelievable!

Before this, probably only Ye Liangnai himself could have done it!

Besides them, no one else possesses such monstrous strength.

The strength of a ninja becomes increasingly difficult to improve as they progress. Even a genius with the strength to Chunin upon graduation will need at least six months to reach the level of Special Jonin, and will still need to go through many dangerous battles.

But Natsume Yuki and the others have already done it, which is truly amazing.

It's easy to imagine that their future achievements will be no less than those of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

However, despite their surprise, everyone felt it was only natural that Natsume Yuki and the other two were Guiding Jonin Ye Liangnai, a Jonin who personally sparred with them.

If we're talking about who the best sparring partner in the Shinobi World is, then it has to be Ye Liangnai.

Even if someone becomes a Five Kage, they're still just a junior in his eyes.

To be honest, the fight inside the arena was really exciting!

But after watching the two more exciting battles, everyone felt somewhat bored.

There was no way around it; the first two battles were just too spectacular. They were peak duels right from the start, instantly maximizing the atmosphere and emotions, bringing the viewers to a climax.

The emotional peak has passed, so naturally, the upcoming battles will feel tedious. Because it's impossible for any battle to create a new emotional high point.

Ultimately, after a fierce battle, the Team 4 members narrowly lost.

"Next game!"

The referee announced the next match, and two new players joined the game.

"Team 3 wins!"

"Team 5 wins!"

Team 9 wins!

Before we knew it, it was noon, and there were only two matches left.

When they saw the two players facing off next, everyone couldn't help but show their anticipation and excitement.

There's no other reason than that the two opponents were exactly what everyone wanted to see.

Mitaro vs. Nakamura Shota!

If Mitaro also loses, then Team 1's reputation will be completely ruined.

This can be seen from the solemn expression on Mitaro's face.

"I never expected to be your opponent. I thought I had no chance of fighting you!"

Don't be fooled by Nakamura Shota game; once he gets into battle, he becomes incredibly serious and sharp.

"You're strong! Come on, unleash your full power and have a good, satisfying battle!"

Nakamura Shota licked his lips, looking quite fierce.

"Of course!"

Mitaro said quite solemnly that Nakamura Shota was putting a lot of pressure on him.

Ye Liangnai had already acknowledged the strength of the three, and he knew that he was probably no match for Nakamura Shota either.

But so what? Just like Nakamura Shota said, let's have a good fight.

"Here I come!"

The instant the referee gave the order to "start," Mitaro stomped heavily on the ground and shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Armor Technique!"

"Click-click-click!"

Suddenly, something astonishing happened: hard stone armor grew on Mitaro's body, protecting him, and then rushed towards Mitaro.

Upon seeing this, Nakamura Shota immediately burst into laughter, a laugh filled with immense excitement.

"Very well, I didn't expect we were kindred spirits. In that case, let's have a good fight!"

Nakamura Shota suddenly dodged backward, and then, extremely violent lightning erupted from his body. Seeing this lightning, Kurokawa's eyes narrowed instantly.

Nakamura Shota's Lightning Release made him feel threatened, which meant that his Lightning Release was stronger than his own.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armor!"

With a roar from Nakamura Shota, he unleashed a furious punch that collided heavily with Mitaro.

"Boom!"

The entire arena seemed to explode as the violent lightning from Nakamura Shota's body suddenly poured out, tearing the ground beneath his feet, while his opponent, Mitaro, groaned and was forced back by the force of the impact.

"Whoosh!"

Upon seeing this, the audience couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "They've already fallen behind right from the start? They're too strong!"

"That's not enough! You should have more power than that!"

Nakamura Shota swiftly closed in on Mitaro, unleashing another punch while roaring wildly.

"Bang!"

Mitaro had a bitter pill to swallow. Lightning Release is naturally effective against Earth Release, and Mitaro's power was simply inferior to Nakamura Shota's.

There was no time to dodge the punch; he could only protect his head before being blasted away.

"Cough cough cough!"

He immediately stood up, because Nakamura Shota had already charged over with a thunderous roar, sweeping his leg like a wild beast.

"Bang!"

Amidst the flying debris, Mitaro retreated abruptly, quickly forming hand seals and shouting, "Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

The next moment, the ground beneath Nakamura Shota's feet suddenly bulged up, and sharp earthen spears shot out rapidly, trying to knock him away and pierce him.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

But Nakamura Shota was too fast, and he completely dodged the homemade gun.

Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!

While dodging, he also formed hand seals, releasing lightning that enveloped the entire arena. The aura was so sharp and concentrated that it was even more powerful than Kurokawa's Lightning Release.

The ground and the stadium walls were blown apart, sending chills down the spines of onlookers.

"Earth Release · Earth Flow Wall!"

Faced with the lightning that surged like a tidal wave, Mitaro's hair stood on end, and he quickly formed hand seals and slammed his fist on the ground to create an earthen wall in front of him.
