The First Match (Bonus Chapter for Readership!)

The battle continued.

After determining that taijutsu would not be enough to take down Nohara Rin, Shizune immediately retreated a short distance and pulled a smoke bomb from her ninja tool pouch.

Bang!

The smoke bomb detonated in front of Nohara Rin, and smoke billowed out, obscuring the surroundings.

Nohara Rin held her Kunai, remaining vigilant of the movements around her.

Shizune quickly formed hand seals, and her right palm was immediately covered in blue chakra, accompanied by the faint sound of vibrating air.

Chakra Scalpel!

Upon completing the technique, Shizune immediately charged into the smoke.

Watching this scene, Genma revealed a faint smile.

He knew that Shizune was about to win.

Sure enough, after the smoke cleared, Nohara Rin was kneeling on one knee, unable to move.

The examiner, Hisato Yuto, took a look and announced, "Shizune wins!"

In the stands, Uchiha Obito widened his eyes: "Rin lost just like that?"

"What was that ninjutsu just now?"

Kakashi said, "It should be the Chakra Scalpel, an A-rank Medical Ninjutsu."

Uchiha Obito was shocked: "A-rank difficulty? Shizune is that amazing!"

"Is Rin okay?"

Uchiha Obito asked with concern.

Kakashi did not answer, but instead said, "Worry about yourself first!"

The examiner's voice came from below: "Next match, Uchiha Obito versus Might Guy!"

Uchiha Obito hurriedly said, "I'm going now, Kakashi, take care of Rin."

As he spoke, Uchiha Obito had already leaped away.

Meanwhile, Shizune had already helped Nohara Rin up and leaped back to Genma and the others.

The injury wasn't actually severe; she had only used the Chakra Scalpel to sever Nohara Rin's ligament, causing her to lose the ability to move.

However, for Shizune to treat such an injury herself would take at least ten minutes, so she chose to let Genma handle it.

Genma crouched beside Nohara Rin, and after confirming the location of the injury, he placed his palm directly over the ligament of her lower leg joint.

There was no green chakra glow; after just three seconds, Genma withdrew his hand and stood up: "All done, give it a try!"

Nohara Rin was stunned. It was already healed?

She stood up and moved her right leg, and sure enough, there was no hindrance or pain, causing her to exclaim, "That's amazing!"

"I heard Kakashi say before that your Medical Ninjutsu was also very impressive, and he was right."

Genma smiled: "As long as you're okay. The next battle is about to start!"

Nohara Rin looked down, hurriedly thanked him, and ran back to Kakashi's side, shouting to Uchiha Obito, who was already prepared below: "Obito, good luck!"

Uchiha Obito below immediately turned his head upon hearing the voice. Seeing that Nohara Rin was fine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hearing her cheering voice, a blush appeared on his face.

I must win this time!

Uchiha Obito secretly vowed.

At this moment, the examiner had already given the order to begin.

Might Guy immediately leaped into the air.

Uchiha Obito snapped back to reality, but as he turned his head, Might Guy's whirlwind kick had already arrived.

Bang!

Uchiha Obito took the hit squarely on the face; his goggles flew off, and he was sent flying.

KO!

Kakashi covered his forehead, unable to bear watching: "What on earth is this guy doing?"

Nohara Rin's voice came to an abrupt halt, her expression crestfallen, and for a moment, she couldn't say a word.

Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba were stunned.

Although it wasn't as outrageous as the second match, it was still incredibly absurd!

If this were on the battlefield, wouldn't he be dead?

Genma smiled knowingly.

Obito had fallen to Might Guy twice now, and the key was that Might Guy couldn't even remember him.

In the monitoring room, Namikaze Minato felt so awkward he wanted to curl his toes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.

Hatake Sakumo was also present, sighing, "Adolescent children."

Straight to the point.

Namikaze Minato could only offer a bitter smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and spoke, "It's Kazekaze Genma's turn!"

As the topic shifted, Namikaze Minato asked curiously, "Senior Hatake Sakumo, has Kazekaze Genma's strength surpassed Kakashi's?"

Hatake Sakumo nodded with great certainty.

In the arena.

Kazekaze Genma saw his name, nodded to Shizune and the others, and leaped into the arena.

His opponent was... Uchiha Enjin!

Kazekaze Genma had never heard this name; he wasn't in his class, and likely wasn't even from the same year.

Judging by his attire, he looked just like Uchiha Shisui in his memory, carrying a short blade on his back.

"Kazekaze Genma, right? You should just forfeit!"

Uchiha Enjin's opening remark was startling.

Kazekaze Genma was instantly bewildered.

Uchiha Enjin remained expressionless, his black eyes suddenly shifting.

One-Tomoe Sharingan!

"I just don't want you to lose too miserably, because once I start, out of respect for my opponent, I will use my full strength."

Uchiha Enjin stated.

Kazekaze Genma understood; this guy had no ill intent, he was just... a tsundere?

So he smiled, "Thank you."

"However, since I've made it this far, I should fight regardless."

"If we were on the battlefield, we couldn't just retreat because the enemy is strong, could we?"

Uchiha Enjin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "You are quite right. I apologize for my arrogance."

"Kazekaze Genma, I have remembered your name."

"Next, I will defeat you with my greatest power!"

At this moment, the examiner spoke, "Are you ready?"

Kazekaze Genma and Uchiha Enjin both nodded in unison.

"Then, begin!"

The examiner waved his hand.

Uchiha Enjin raised his hand and threw two shuriken. Kazekaze Genma stood still, watching them fly toward him.

Frowning slightly, Uchiha Enjin tugged at his hand, and the nearly invisible steel wires pulled taut. The shuriken in mid-air suddenly split from two into four, changing their trajectory.

In an instant, four shuriken were hurtling toward Kazekaze Genma in the center from four different directions.

Right from the start, Uchiha Enjin showed off his mastery of shuriken manipulation.

Kazekaze Genma used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge, and all the shuriken struck the ground, missing their mark.

Uchiha Enjin began to move, sprinting and leaping around Kazekaze Genma while throwing even more shuriken.

At this moment, everyone was focused on his movements.

Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Uchiha clan; only they could perform such complex manipulation, right!?"

Shizune furrowed her brows, "What should one do in this situation?"

Yamashiro Aoba adjusted his sunglasses and pondered, "You have to disrupt his setup from the very beginning, but that's likely difficult, as it's hard for our eyes to track those steel wires."

"It would be best to jump out of the encirclement he's creating and not give him the chance to set it up."

Shizune nodded.

Just then, Uchiha Enjin returned to his original position, biting the steel wire with his teeth as his hands moved in a blur of seals.

Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!

The examiner, Hisato Yuto, sensed something amiss upon seeing this jutsu, but it was already too late.

The line of fire raced along the steel wires, spreading out.

At this moment, the previously invisible steel wires were fully revealed to everyone's eyes.

They were crisscrossed, completely enveloping Kazekaze Genma.

As the flames swept along the wires, they instantly transformed into a massive cage of fire.

Examiner Hisato Yuto was about to move to save him, but he immediately pulled back his energy, seeing that Kazekaze Genma had abruptly appeared outside the cage.

Was that a clone just now?

The examiner, Hisato Yuto, was puzzled; he hadn't noticed anything.

On the spectator stand, many people let out exclamations of surprise.

Uchiha Enjin was also taken aback to see Genma's figure, but his fighting spirit only intensified.

Releasing the steel wire, he drew his blade and charged out.

At this moment, his eyes grew even more vivid red.

As their gazes locked, the genjutsu of the Sharingan was unleashed.

Genma did not avoid Uchiha Enjin's eyes; he wanted to test the Sharingan's genjutsu for himself.
