Purely Playing the Dog

Upon hearing his name called Ryuta Kishimoto instantly stood up from the seat next to Chihiro Kobayashi. "Yosh! Now my promotion Chunin is a sure thing!"

Even Chihiro Kobayashi was happy for Ryuta Kishimoto, "Yeah! You're definitely going to beat that Uchiha Yu guy!"

Ryuta Kishimoto excitedly ran down from the audience seats and stood opposite Uchiha Yu, who was trying not to laugh.

"Uchiha Yu, I won't say any more. I'll try my best not to break your bones so that you won't hold us back during missions."

Uchiha Yu smiled and nodded, "Well, since you're so kind, I'll try my best not to hurt you."

As he spoke, a bolt of lightning flashed past Ryuta Kishimoto's ear!

The audience members who were just yawning immediately sat up straight!

Um!?

There are still experts!?

But several Konoha Jonin suddenly turned around!

They saw the ANBU Anbu lying on the ground next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face charred black, and looked towards the center of the arena in utter confusion.

This is fucking ridiculous.

Is this attack aimed at the Hokage?

That must be true, right?

Ryuta Kishimoto's fist froze in mid-air, the burnt smell of lightning still lingering in his ears.

He blinked, his brain struggling to process the situation before him.

Did Uchiha Yu just casually flick a bolt of lightning?

He almost killed the Hokage?!

"Hey! You bastard!" Before Ryuta Kishimoto could finish his roar, Uchiha Yu lazily raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning crackled from his fingertips.

"Be careful, this move is called 'missed strike'," Uchiha Yu Zhenzhen warned.

Lightning flashed past Ryuta Kishimoto's ear again, heading straight for the VIP seats!

Hiruzen Sarutobi jerked his hand, which was holding a pipe, as if trying to dodge, but the lightning was too fast, and the Hokage's hat hissed and emitted a wisp of smoke.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Ryuta Kishimoto slowly lowered his fist, his expression shifting from anger to confusion, and finally settling into a philosophical contemplation. "I must have dodged the fatal blow myself, right?"

Sakura Haruno exclaimed in surprise, "This! Is this right?"

Naruto shook his head blankly. "No, something doesn't seem right."

Kakashi, a master of Lightning Release, frowned deeply. Even he couldn't execute such rapid lightning strikes. How did Uchiha Yu manage to do it?

However, the damage caused was indeed not high, and it was a technique that someone his age could use.

Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened his clothes, and several Anbu appeared beside him.

It seems even Hiruzen Sarutobi feels ashamed.

"Smack!"

The third bolt of lightning grazed the Ryuta Kishimoto's clothes, and he managed to dodge it with a clumsy roll.

A gasp erupted from the audience, and even he stared wide-eyed at his hands. "I... I can actually predict lightning?!"

"Ryuta-kun! You're amazing!" Chihiro Kobayashi stood up excitedly, waving her fist, completely unaware that another Anbu in the VIP section was clutching his smoking buttocks and collapsing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe was already creaking from being squeezed so tightly.

The Anbu squad beside him was like a human lightning rod, each stray bolt of lightning precisely causing them to transform into black people.

Danzo's one eye twitched, and he chuckled softly.

He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to make a huge fool of himself!

But how exactly does that brat Uchiha Yu manage to fire so many bolts of lightning so frequently?!

Could it be that he is the true genius of the Uchiha Clan, rather than the Uchiha Sasuke who is afraid of battle?

"Uchiha Yu!" Ryuta Kishimoto fought with increasing ferocity, even adopting a stance from his self-created lightning-sensing Taijutsu. "Your attacks are ineffective against me!"

"Wow, how scary~" Uchiha Yu took two exaggerated steps back, but his fingertips were secretly aimed at Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacup.

"Boom!"

The fourth bolt of lightning shattered the teacup, splashing the scalding tea all over the Hokage.

Taking advantage of the Ryuta Kishimoto, Uchiha Yu "panicked" and dodged to the side. The lightning "just happened" to pierce through the Konoha emblem behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's chair.

"This is outrageous!" Finally, some Anbu could no longer tolerate it and collectively formed Hand Seal to create Defense Barrier.

"Fifth round!" Uchiha Yu suddenly leaped high into the air, Ryuta Kishimoto blood boiling, chased after him. "Take this!"

The moment the two crossed paths in mid-air, a bolt of lightning "accidentally" fell from the sky, directly blasting through the roof of the VIP seating area!

The Defense Barrier has been breached!

The audience was stunned!

The Anbu's Defense Barrier was actually breached by a Genin?!

Fortunately, Gaara of the Sand had previously demonstrated exaggerated ninjutsu, so the people present were somewhat accepting of it.

Knowing the inside story, Orochimaru, who was impersonating the Kazekage Rasa, secretly moved to the left, afraid that the lightning would affect him as well.

He understands it completely now.

Uchiha Yu was just toying with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Hokage with the Hokage of his own village!

Although I don't know why he has such strength at such a young age.

But Uchiha Yu said that he would kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo today, which made Orochimaru want to witness his teacher's death with his own eyes!

The kind that leads to utter disgrace and ruin.

Ryuta Kishimoto looked blankly at the audience, at the embarrassing state of the Anbu, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He cried because he felt that if the lightning struck, he would be burned to a crisp.

The reason for the laughter is that the lightning is clearly meant to strike them, but it never seems to hit them.

Could it be...?

Understood!

It must be because I Awakening Kekkei Genkai similar to the Sharingan or Byakugan! That's why the lightning couldn't strike me!

Ryuta Kishimoto his arms. "Uchiha Yu, just admit defeat! Your techniques can't even touch me! Continuing like this will only exhaust you!"

Uchiha Yu wiped his sweat at just the right moment. "Damn it! Ryuta Kishimoto, I never knew you were so terrifying! You were able to dodge my D-rank ninjutsu— Lightning Release —timely. But don't be too happy yet! This kind of lightning..."

"I can keep chopping!"

Ryuta Kishimoto didn't take this sentence seriously, but the Anbu next to Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't hold back any longer!

Keep chopping?!

Do you think our lives don't matter?

Regardless of what the Anbu thought, what Hiruzen Sarutobi thought, or what Danzo and the group of nobles watching the match thought, the competition continued.

The difference is

The seats around the Hokage area were empty.

The fight continued, Ryuta Kishimoto intensified his punches. Uchiha Yu pretended to be unable to dodge in time and was hit by a punch. He staggered back two steps and suddenly raised his hand in a rage!

A blinding flash of lightning exploded in his palm, transforming into a twisted whip of lightning that lashed out at his opponent, but then strangely curved in mid-air, striking straight at the VIP seats!

"Ten Thousand Volts! Slash the Dog!"

"Buzz!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's chair was charred in the thunderstorm, and flying wood chips grazed the Hokage Robe.

The old man Body Flicker Technique appeared five meters away, scattering sparks from his pipe all the way.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"This! This is definitely intentional, right?!" Naruto shouted, clinging to the railing, but Sakura quickly covered his mouth. "Idiot! How could it be intentional! Why would anyone want to attack the Hokage?! It's that Ryuta Kishimoto's fault! His hiding spot was too weird!"

Ryuta Kishimoto in the same position, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He mechanically turned his head to look at the smoking VIP section, then looked down at his fist. "I almost... I almost died here."

"Ryuta!" Chihiro Kobayashi exclaimed excitedly from the stands, her voice cracking. "You hid so well! It must be the result of special training, right!"

"I see!" Ryuta Kishimoto instantly swelled with power, his Fist Wind striking again. "Take this!"

Uchiha Yu leaned back, took a deep breath, and unleashed his chakra in the direction of Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
