Battle Ends

The giant fireball created by the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique was about to hit Xuan Ye's body when the golden bell-shaped chakra that Xuan Ye already raised detached from his hand.

"Call out!"

In an instant, the golden bell-shaped chakra collided with the enormous Great Fireball.

"Bang!"

The sound of two enormous forces colliding was extremely loud, and everyone else at the scene covered their ears. The ninja teacher also used chakra to cover his ears immediately after the loud noise.

The loud noise lasted only a moment before disappearing into this vast world.

"What on earth happened? Why was there such a loud noise? Could it be that Xuan Ye also used a Ninjutsu?"

With this in mind, the ninja teacher hurriedly looked towards the scene of the combat test. At this moment, due to the collision of two powerful forces, dust was flying into the sky, and it was not clear who had won or lost.

Gradually, the dust in the air returned to the ground due to gravity, and the situation in the combat test field could now be clearly seen.

The enormous and blazing Great Fireball that had once filled the scene had vanished, and a golden bell was now floating in the air. Although the bell was small, no one would underestimate it, for it had suppressed the seemingly incredibly powerful Great Fireball.

Seeing that the Great Fireball had been suppressed by his golden bell, Xuan Ye immediately released the golden bell.

"Bang!"

The golden bell in the air suddenly transformed into a large amount of chakra and returned to Xuan Ye's body.

I didn't expect the Golden Bell Shield Ninjutsu to be so powerful. When I was training in the area outside Konoha Village some time ago, my proficiency with the Golden Bell Shield Ninjutsu improved significantly. As a result, many techniques for using the Golden Bell Shield Ninjutsu appeared in Xuan Ye's mind. The technique of converting chakra into a golden bell and throwing it out of his hand was one of those extra techniques.

Standing opposite Xuan Ye Itachi Uchiha wore a bitter expression on his face, feeling extremely distressed. Since his birth, he had always been a genius among the younger generation, and virtually no one had been able to surpass him.

But now, right here on this grassy field in the Ninja Academy, at the place of practical testing, Itachi Uchiha experienced losing to a peer for the first time since birth.

To be honest, it's really uncomfortable. I don't know why, but Itachi Uchiha's eyes feel a little uncomfortable and sore. If Itachi could see his own eyes right now, he would definitely see a bright red flash in them from time to time.

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head and slowly walked towards Xuan Ye. His steps were very slow, but they did not annoy anyone else. Itachi was not too far from Xuan Ye, so he only took a few steps to reach him.

"I, I..." Itachi Uchiha suddenly found himself speechless. He had been a genius in Konoha Village for a long time, but he had actually lost. This was something Itachi couldn't accept, but even if he couldn't accept it, it was useless. It had become a fact and would not change again.

"Breathe!"

Itachi Uchiha stood in front of Xuan Ye, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing, gradually bringing it to a steady state.

"You defeated Xuan Ye, but I lost this real battle." Itachi Uchiha's voice was very low, as if the outcome of this battle had a great impact on him.

However, Xuan Ye's attention was not on Itachi Uchiha at the moment, but Itachi's words brought Xuan Ye's attention back.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I was lost in thought and didn't notice you coming over," Xuan Ye said with a slightly apologetic expression.

"Hmm! It's okay. Xuan Ye, you're really amazing. You're much stronger than me. But even though you're stronger than me now, I won't be disappointed. I'll work even harder to improve my strength and eventually surpass you." Itachi Uchiha had readjusted his mood, and a determined expression appeared on his face.

"Haha! I know, you need to work harder to improve your strength! I have high hopes for you, but I don't think you have a chance to surpass me in strength." Xuan Ye said with a smug look on his face.

After all, he possessed a system, and it was the Strongest Cultivation System focused on improving strength. So even if he couldn't improve his strength now, what did it matter if he gave Itachi Uchiha a year or two to improve it?

Ultimately, Itachi's strength will never surpass mine. Xuan Ye has a very strong belief in this, and the source of this belief is a system supporting him from behind.

"Hmph! Who knows what will happen in the future." Hearing Xuan Ye's very self-assured words, Itachi Uchiha also showed a defiant expression.

Although Xuan Ye won this battle, neither Itachi Uchiha nor Genya Namikaze had any friends in the academy except for each other. Xuan Ye was because he slept during class, while Itachi's personality prevented him from making any friends in the academy.

Finally, the two shook hands to express their friendship and then walked out of the circle surrounded by the entire class. It was already evening, and the sun was about to set.

The ninja instructor noticed that it was getting late, so he gathered all the students together, said a lot of things, and then dismissed them to go home and continue training in the training ground the next day.

After the meeting ended, Xuan Ye finally brought up the system notification again, as he hadn't had time to check it earlier due to various other matters.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission and defeating Itachi Uchiha."

"Ding dong, congratulations host for obtaining the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash as a mission reward."

"Haha! I've got the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash! It really wasn't easy for me to complete this system's mission!"

Although Xuan Ye thought this way, the process was actually very simple. He just mobilized some chakra and used the Golden Bell Shield Ninjutsu according to its operating route, and finally defeated Itachi Uchiha with this Ninjutsu.

Xuan Ye then retrieved the basic information about the Wind Style Ninjutsu, Half-Moon Slash.

Ninjutsu: Half-Moon Slash

Attribute: Wind

Grade: A

Power: Strong (No hand seal Ninjutsu; using chakra along the path of the Half-Moon Slash will create a wind-style chakra slash resembling a crescent moon, with extremely strong cutting ability, but also consumes a large amount of chakra.)

In the basic information of the Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash, Xuan Ye discovered that this Ninjutsu is rated A. Ninjutsu of A rank are generally quite rare, and this Ninjutsu is also Ninjutsu without hand seals.

Rank A Ninjutsu without hand seals is very rare. Apart from knowing that the Rasengan is also an Rank A Ninjutsu without hand seals, Xuan Ye doesn't know any other Rank A Ninjutsu without hand seals.
