Battle Against Kurotsuchi!

Why was someone so young taking the Chunin Exams?!

Obito felt that at this age, he had only just graduated from the Ninja Academy!

"Good luck, my dear granddaughter!" Ōnoki silently cheered for his granddaughter from the stands.

What kind of Ninjutsu could someone so small possibly know?

Obito was somewhat dismissive.

He immediately formed hand seals, and a massive fireball began gathering in his throat.

"Fire Style—Great Fireball Technique!" As a great clan specializing in Fire Style, the Uchiha's Fire Style Ninjutsu was naturally far beyond ordinary techniques. The moment it erupted, it covered nearly ten meters!

Boom!

The fireball shot toward Kurotsuchi, but just as it was about to reach her, it abruptly stopped.

It was an earthen wall!

Kurotsuchi casually used a B-rank Ninjutsu to block Obito's attack.

"Hehe, here I come!" After slightly moving her arm, Kurotsuchi immediately sent an Earth Dragon Bullet flying at Obito's face.

It was slow, but the hard rock contained tremendous power.

Crack! Crack!

The rock dragon scraped across the ground, even throwing up sparks.

"That's an A-rank Ninjutsu! Is this little girl really eight years old?!"

Earth Dragon Bullet was indeed an A-rank Ninjutsu, and it was difficult to master.

Not only Chunin—even Jonin might not know such a high-level Ninjutsu, much less see it used by a little girl.

"Damn! I underestimated her!"

Obito hurriedly retreated, but he was still too slow. The Earth Dragon Bullet caught up to him in an instant.

"Ah, he still underestimated her."

Ye Liang shook his head on the platform.

If Obito had not been careless from the start and had activated his Sharingan immediately, Kurotsuchi's Earth Dragon Bullet could never have pursued him so closely!

"Damn it, I can only use my trump card!"

Rasengan!

Boom!

The massive earth dragon instantly shattered into pieces, followed by Obito extending his right hand.

Residual Chakra still lingered around his right hand. Clearly, he had just smashed the earth dragon apart.

"How did you destroy the earth dragon?" Kurotsuchi looked utterly shocked.

Her view had been blocked by the earth dragon, so she naturally had not seen Obito's Rasengan.

But although Kurotsuchi had not seen it, everyone in the stands had seen it clearly.

"This foolish kid really lacks combat experience." Ye Liang sighed.

He had taught Obito the Rasengan. It was supposed to be his finishing move, yet he had revealed it so early. The rest of the fight would truly be difficult!

"Damn it! My little dragon!"

The tiny Kurotsuchi immediately grew anxious. She rapidly formed hand seals, and soon, a pair of rock gauntlets abruptly appeared around her arms.

"Earth Style—Super Added-Weight Rock Technique!"

This was also an A-rank Ninjutsu. By forcefully binding surrounding earth elements around one's fists, it formed enormous gauntlets and enhanced close-combat ability.

Close combat?

Ye Liang did not understand. No matter how talented Kurotsuchi was, she was still only eight years old. Wasn't she crazy to fight the fifteen-year-old Obito in close quarters?

But in the next moment, Ye Liang instantly changed his mind.

Kurotsuchi threw punch after punch at Obito. Though her movements were slow, every punch caused the ground to collapse!

Under her relentless attacks, Obito actually had no ability to fight back. He could only rely on his agility and speed to flee again and again!

Sharingan—Activate!

Obito darted left and right. Kurotsuchi no longer posed a threat to him, but her offensive was too fierce, and he could not find any opportunity to strike.

Do I have to drag this out until she gets tired?

That was what Ye Liang had taught him the night before.

Ye Liang was an examiner, so he naturally knew Obito's age. Thus, he had hinted to Obito the night before that if he truly could not beat his opponent, he could use the Sharingan to stall for time.

A child's stamina was absolutely inferior to his.

"Damn it! I don't want to win like this!"

Obito glanced around him. The spectators all around were praising him, and when he thought of winning this match that way yet still failing to earn the audience's support, he felt unwilling to accept it.

"Damn it, Obito-sama isn't some coward!" Obito Uchiha shouted as he suddenly charged straight at Kurotsuchi!

"What is he doing? That little girl hasn't released her Ninjutsu yet!"

"Who knows? Maybe he can't hold on anymore and wants one last desperate counterattack!"

"Heh, probably. He is a child of the Uchiha clan, after all. It's normal for him to think that way."

The spectators' voices somehow reached Obito's ears, but he was completely unaware of them!

A Sharingan wielder possessed unparalleled power. Once activated, it could observe an opponent's minute movements, making everything around them seem to slow down countless times.

Boom!

Kurotsuchi's fist grazed Obito's cheek again, leaving only a faint scratch.

"That's impossible! How did you dodge my attacks over and over?!" Kurotsuchi panicked. She realized that her attacks could not do anything to Obito Uchiha at all.

Without realizing it, her footwork became slightly disordered.

"Good chance!"

A Rasengan immediately formed in Obito's palm. His talent was far greater than Naruto's, so he did not need to charge it at all.

Boom!

The Rasengan shot forth!

Everything was over.

Obito used up all his strength and fainted, while Kurotsuchi also fell to the ground at the same time.

This...

The spectators in the stands were dumbfounded.

They had thought Obito Uchiha was nothing special, yet he had used the Sharingan's effects to seize such a tiny opening. None of them could have done that!

Everyone fell silent.

Ōnoki in the stands was furious beyond measure.

He flew toward Obito in a rage. Kurotsuchi was his granddaughter, and now that she had been hit by an A-rank Ninjutsu, how could he possibly stand by and do nothing?!

"Ōnoki, don't go too far!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled.

They were both Kage-level powerhouses, so by the time he tried to stop Ōnoki, it was already too late!

Boom!

A cloud of dust engulfed the arena.

Then, a young man glowing with white light blocked Ōnoki's hand.

"As a Kage-level powerhouse, aren't you being far too unruly?"

Ye Liang looked coldly at Ōnoki.

His opponent was the Tsuchikage, so Ye Liang had activated Sage Mode! Even so, Ōnoki's attack was incredibly heavy!

It was a huge boulder shaped into a fist, weighing at least several tons, yet Ye Liang held it up with one hand!

Ever since learning Night Guy, his understanding of Taijutsu had reached unprecedented heights. A mere boulder was nothing to him.

"What a strong kid!" Ōnoki gave Ye Liang a wary look before finally stopping his attack.

At that moment, Rin Nohara led several Medical Ninja down from the stands. Since this was the Chunin Exams venue, a medical team had naturally been prepared.

"Lord Ōnoki, Kurotsuchi's life is not in danger. She only suffered minor internal injuries. We'll treat her immediately," Rin Nohara replied before promptly beginning treatment.

Seeing that his granddaughter was all right, Ōnoki could only leave with a flick of his sleeve. However, when he looked at Ye Liang, there seemed to be a trace more regard in his gaze.

"This guy isn't simple!"
