Art Stuns the Entire Audience

"Whoosh..."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, the spectator stands at the Ninja Academy training ground erupted in an uproar, and even Hyuga Anihiko's expression turned unsightly.

Immediately following, the discussions from the stands began to pour into the ears of Uchiha Yue and Hyuga Anihiko, one wave after another.

However, while Uchiha Yue maintained a calm mindset despite the chatter, Hyuga Anihiko's face grew increasingly grim.

"Am I hearing this right? Uchiha Yue just offered to give Hyuga Anihiko three moves? Hyuga Anihiko is a genius of the Hyuga Clan!"

"Hmph, what's so great about Hyuga Anihiko? Even Hatake Dansui lost to Uchiha Yue, and Hyuga Anihiko's strength is below that of Hatake Dansui. Can he even win against Uchiha Yue?"

"Wow! Uchiha Yue is truly amazing, he's worthy of being a genius of the Uchiha Clan! Compared to Uchiha Yue, Hyuga Anihiko is practically trash!"

"Exactly, Uchiha Yue has the guts to give him three moves! Hyuga Anihiko, if you're so capable, why don't you give him ten moves!"

Listening to the buzzing of the crowd, Hyuga Anihiko's eyes were filled with fury. If he had challenged Uchiha Yue initially for the sake of the Hyuga Clan, he was now doing it purely to defeat him, as he wanted to regain his lost face in front of everyone.

However, saying something like giving Uchiha Yue ten moves was absolutely impossible for Hyuga Anihiko.

Are you kidding? Uchiha Yue was able to defeat Hatake Dansui, which proved his strength was on par with Hyuga Anihiko's.

If Hyuga Anihiko really gave Uchiha Yue ten moves, how could he possibly fight? He might as well just surrender!

Therefore, since he couldn't regain his dignity through words, he had no choice but to rely on his strength.

Hyuga Anihiko took a deep breath, finally suppressing the anger in his heart, and said in a voice laced with rage: "Fine, Uchiha Yue! Since you want to give me three moves, don't regret it! I, Hyuga Anihiko, will defeat you within three moves! I will prove that I am stronger than you!"

"Too much talk."

At this moment, Uchiha Yue hooked his index finger and said directly: "Hurry up! I haven't had lunch yet."

"Bastard!"

Facing Uchiha Yue's repeated provocations, Hyuga Anihiko could no longer hold back. He exploded with his full chakra and charged toward Uchiha Yue like a sharp arrow. Without a doubt, as a ninja of the Hyuga Clan, his skill was the Gentle Fist; only in close-quarters combat could he unleash its true potential.

Thus, the instantaneous burst of chakra was Hyuga Anihiko's method to close the distance; he intended to engage Uchiha Yue in melee combat.

Yet, seeing Hyuga Anihiko charging at him, Uchiha Yue showed no intention of dodging, even yawning leisurely as he stood there.

Uchiha Yue's actions further infuriated Hyuga Anihiko, to the point where he even harbored thoughts of killing him.

Then, as Hyuga Anihiko finally reached Uchiha Yue, he unleashed his full strength, striking directly at Uchiha Yue's chest with his Gentle Fist!

Deep in his heart, Hyuga Anihiko roared with murderous intent: "Die, Uchiha Yue!"

At the same time, the spectator stands fell into a dead silence, with everyone focusing intently on the duel in the training ground.

However, two figures were hidden in a corner of the stands, watching the match with surprising ease despite the tension. Even a moment before Hyuga Anihiko launched his attack, the two were chatting casually, as if the duel held no interest for them at all.

If Uchiha Yue could have spotted them and seen their faces, he would have been shocked!

Because the two figures hidden in the corner were none other than the most renowned figures in Konoha!

One was the Third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the other was one of the Sannin, Jiraiya!

"Jiraiya, these kids really have boundless energy!"

Smiling as he cast his gaze toward the training ground, the middle-aged Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Jiraiya on the shoulder and said: "Tell me, is Uchiha Yue really that confident he can defeat Hyuga Anihiko? The fight hasn't even started, and he's already offering three moves. How arrogant. I really don't know how those people in the Uchiha Clan educate the next generation!"

"Hmph, I think that brat is going to lose soon."

Hearing his teacher's question, Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Yue with an unkind gaze and snorted: "The Hyuga brat has decent strength, and his Gentle Fist has reached a certain level of proficiency. It seems Hizashi has put a lot of effort into him! Conversely, the Uchiha brat is so arrogant that he underestimates his enemy to this degree. It's really..."

Before Jiraiya could finish his sentence, another uproar erupted from the spectator stands!

Even the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, who had been unimpressed by Uchiha Yue, widened their eyes in disbelief, staring fixedly at the training ground!

"What is that?"

At this very moment, Hyuga Anihiko had already reached Uchiha Yue. His right index finger, condensed with chakra, had struck directly at the meridians on Uchiha Yue's chest. The power of that Gentle Fist was enough to cause serious injury to any Genin in Konoha who took it head-on.

However...

Just as Hyuga Anihiko was filled with confidence, believing he had finished Uchiha Yue in one move, his pupils suddenly constricted!

The next second, to Hyuga Anihiko's shock, the figure of Uchiha Yue before him slowly dissipated into an afterimage!

The Uchiha Yue he thought he had struck with his Gentle Fist was merely a common clone!

"How is this possible?"

It wasn't just Hyuga Anihiko who was shocked; the spectators in the stands were all stunned, including Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya!

Simultaneously, Uchiha Yue's figure had already appeared behind Hyuga Anihiko, his eyes filled with intense confidence!

Indeed, Hyuga Anihiko was worthy of being the third-ranked genius of the Ninja Academy; the power of his Gentle Fist was no less than that of an average Genin, but unfortunately, his opponent was Uchiha Yue. A second before Hyuga Anihiko reached him, Uchiha Yue had already used his vast mental energy to analyze every one of his opponent's movements.

Uchiha Yue had even waited until the very moment the finger was about to touch him before beginning his evasion.

And the technique that gave Uchiha Yue such strong confidence in his ability to dodge the attack was the new ninjutsu he had spent three days creating!
