Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet

In the hall, Shuichi and Yukari stood facing each other. Namikaze Minato was not surprised by his age. The Third Hokage told him that Orochimaru had taken in an outstanding disciple, who was none other than Takeda Shuichi standing in front of him.

He was naturally very curious about this genius who had been praised by Third Hokage. Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment. Seeing that both sides were ready, he also said, "Let the match begin!"

Yukari immediately opened her fan, revealing two purple dots. She took a quick but steady step backward, seemingly very wary of Shuichi's Body Flicker Technique.

Shuichi wasn't in a hurry; instead, he planned to first probe what methods his opponent would prepare to deal with him.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu! BOOM!"

As soon as his Shadow Clone, it ran to the side. The attack range of this Three-Star Fan should be quite wide, so the key to defeating Yukari is to get close and to find out what kind of one-hit kill technique she has, because both sides understand that ordinary Wind Release is basically difficult to hit Shuichi who can move at high speed.

Once the Shadow Clone and the original body were positioned at opposite attack angles, they both charged towards Yukari, their movements erratic and unpredictable. This Shadow Clone possessed a considerable amount of chakra and, like the original body, could use the unpredictable Body Flicker Technique.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." Instead of foolishly running towards the enemy, the two Shuichi threw ninja tools together along the way, and the Shuriken from both directions headed straight for Yukari.

Perhaps once most people know that the Wind Release a fan can be used instantly, they will no longer waste ninja tools, because the effect will be greatly reduced, especially given the example of Temari easily defeating Tenten in the original work.

However, Shuichi's Shuriken was intended to make the fan move. At this distance, he only needed to quickly close the distance to attack his opponent. Whether he was using the fan to block the Hidden Weapons or using Wind Release, both Shuichi could seize the opportunity to Body Flicker Technique in an instant, and the other could easily dodge.

Yukari saw her opponent's attack, her body was already prepared. Her legs were bent at all times, and she was not flustered by the attack from both sides. Instead, she took small steps backward, and her hands did not stop moving. She only raised her fan when the Shuriken was about to hit her.

"Wind Release: Great Blow!" Ding ding...

The timing was perfect; the fan knocked all the ninja tools away in one go, and then unleashed a gust of wind that blew towards Shuichi in one direction.

Shuichi didn't try to take the hit head-on; instead, he Body Flicker Technique dodged to the side and rear. The other one, however, suddenly exerted force, his chakra exploding instantly, appearing beside Yukari like a bolt of lightning. His low center of gravity made Shuichi look like a shadow, eerily attacking from beneath her feet.

Yukari's hands instantly unleashed chakra, and her half-open fan suddenly opened fully, just in time to block Shuichi's flying kick. "Clang!"

Using the momentum, Yukari continued to back away, closing her fan halfway back up, her feet moving methodically.

From the stands, Saki asked, "Tosha- sensei, even though Yukari has undergone special training in reaction speed and fan-based movement techniques, she can only barely defend against the opponent's Taijutsu attacks. So how can we possibly win?"

Tosha's expression remained rather stern. "If the opponent's performance last time wasn't even close to their true strength, a month of special training will at most prevent her from being defeated so quickly and force her to reveal more information. Even the best tactics are just empty talk if there's no sufficient strength to execute them."

"The Body Flicker Technique also has its weaknesses. Her reaction speed is much worse than her opponent's, making it difficult for her to land her strongest attack. It's estimated that only when her opponent is arrogant and overconfident, or when she takes a risk and gets lucky, will she have even a slight chance of turning the tide."

On the field, Shuichi, seeing the Fan Girl's response, could roughly deduce that the opposing Sunagakure had probably conducted some kind of short-term simulation training. It wasn't impossible to wear her down like this, but there was no need for it.

The Shadow Clone, having failed in its attack, did not advance again, but instead slowly circled around Yukari, as if waiting for its next opportunity to strike. Meanwhile, the main body moved, charging directly towards her.

While running, he quickly raised his hands and formed hand Hand Seals, chanting, "Sheep-Noon-Dragon-Tiger, Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet."

The area where Shuichi passed instantly turned brown, and a large flat area transformed into thick mud. The substantial amount of mud rose into the air like boiling water, quickly forming a giant dragon that then flew alongside Shuichi to attack the enemy, like a young boy riding a dragon.

"Wow..."

"This kind of Earth Release Ninjutsu... How old is he?! Have I wasted my whole life?"

The audience erupted in gasps and disbelief. Ordinary people were simply amazed, but many Chunin and even Special Jonin were dumbfounded. The dragon head was over 1 meter wide and tall, and its length was more than 10 meters.

This kind of powerful B-rank Ninjutsu was something they had always dreamed of, and yet it was used casually by a child. It was unimaginable how much energy was contained in that seemingly frail body.

Yukari was stunned when faced with this Advanced Jutsu. She had originally planned to use most of her chakra to launch a decisive attack, but the true strength of her opponent made her feel hopeless. Her opponent was not arrogant or reckless enough to risk getting close.

Gritting his teeth, he channeled all his chakra into the Three-Star Fan, fully opening it and forcefully swung it at the Earth Dragon, unleashing "Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel."

A Wind Blade more than 3 meters long was unleashed from the fan. Although the attack range was not wide, the wind transformed from chakra was extremely condensed, with astonishing power and even faster speed. It could be described as a trump card move.

Shuichi's main body stopped, and the earth dragon clashed with the Wind Blade. "Boom!"

The Wind Blade disappeared after slicing open half of the earth dragon's head. However, this was just a fake dragon controlled by chakra and was completely unaffected. The remaining part continued its momentum and attacked Yukari.

"Clang!" The powerful impact struck the fan, and she could no longer hold on. She was sent flying a great distance, fan and all.

Before she even landed, she felt a gust of wind behind her. It was Shuichi's Shadow Clone Body Flicker Technique and kicked her in the waist.

"Ah!" The orange-haired female ninja, who had been flying backward, was kicked back like a pinball. The heavy blow left her seriously injured and unconscious.

The portion of the earth dragon that was supposed to fall was deflected by Shuichi, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater before turning back into soil and disappearing.

Seeing his movement, Namikaze Minato slowed down the chakra he was generating. If that attack landed, the Sunagakure girl would be dead for sure. Fortunately, Shuichi was well aware of this as well, so he didn't need to interfere.

He flashed to Yukari's side, looked at her, and then announced, "The winner is Takeda Shuichi."

When the Medical Unit rushed to check on Yukari's condition, the spectators in all three stands went wild.

"My God, this kid is amazing! Look how relaxed he was after the match, he's on a completely different level from his opponent!"
