With the aid of Wood Release Chakra, a total of six vines on both sides grew rapidly.
As the left hand flattened, they rushed straight towards the direction of Uka Senju's fingers.
Looking at the vines that were about to rush towards me.
Uchiha Maiko reluctantly abandoned the Fire Style seal in her hand.
She drew the long sword from behind her with her right hand, while using her left hand to throw a large number of Kunai at the opponent during a gap in her Ninjutsu.
With her Sharingan fully activated, she darted left and right, up and down, constantly escaping through the gaps in the vines.
Below the stage, they watched the battle between the two above, observing Uchiha Maiko's actions.
They couldn't help but feel a chill for the vulnerable.
Uka Senju lowered her eyes slightly, quietly watching the Uchiha's performance opposite her.
During one of his accidental leaps into the air, his left hand instantly clenched into a fist.
The six vines relentlessly attacked Uchiha Maiko.
With his movements and arrangements, the intertwined forces formed a net that instantly strangled and destroyed the airborne Uchiha.
"Bang!"
A puff of white smoke and the broken pieces of the Substitution Wood fell to the ground.
The attack was ineffective, Uka Senju showed no surprise whatsoever.
As he retracted his left hand, his free right hand suddenly swung sharply towards the right side of the ring.
Having just escaped the Vine Binding Uchiha Maiko hadn't even had time to calm her rapid breathing.
He was then tightly bound by vines that suddenly sprouted from the ground beneath his feet.
Looking at the Uchiha who was bound in a Japanese style, he realized that she still had no intention of admitting defeat.
Uka Senju's outstretched right hand slightly closed.
"Click-click-!"
Two crisp sounds rang out as the vines tightened.
Bound up, Uchiha Maiko could no longer maintain her composure.
She screamed in agony, her face contorted in agony, "Ah--I surrender, I surrender!"
As she finished speaking, the vines binding her gradually loosened.
Just as her clansman was about to fall to the ground, the Uchiha Yashiro rushed onto the arena and caught her.
Looking at his kinsman in his arms, whose arms were twisted into a Z-shape and who was screaming incessantly.
He was instantly consumed by rage, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
Just as he was about to cause trouble, he heard Uchiha Maiko's pained cry coming from his arms.
"This is... a fighting arena, don't mess around... come on, take... me to get treatment first."
Hearing the pained voices of his clansmen, Uchiha Yashiro forced himself to suppress his anger.
He hugged his fellow clansman and hurried towards the Medical Treatment Team below the stage.
Only after the two Uchiha stepped down from the stage did the murmurs from the audience gradually begin to rise.
"Why does Wood Release seem weak?"
"Not strong? So you think the Uchiha is weak?"
"It seems like besides its fast start-up speed, there's nothing else about it."
"Nonsense, isn't it good enough that it starts quickly?"
"Didn't you see that the Great Fireball hit the defensive wooden wall just now, and it couldn't even break through the defenses?"
"I heard from the old man at the village entrance that the First Hokage used Wood Release to instantly create the Senju Clan Compound!"
"Yes, yes, have you been to the Valley of the End? It used to be a plain."
"Aren't you two going to waste your breath? How old is Uka? He only awakened Wood Release last month! Besides, he didn't use any of his strongest Taijutsu or other Ninjutsu before."
"Yes, he just stood there and made a move, Uchiha were beaten up like that!"
"Yeah, it seems like he hasn't moved at all!"
"..."
Kato, the Jonin who watched the entire battle from the best Viewing Position, nodded repeatedly in his Jonin.
After the two Uchiha stepped off the stage, he announced, " Uka Senju wins the first match!"
After shouting, he made a note in his notebook and then asked the boy on the stage, "Three-minute break or continue?"
"Continue!"
Next challenger: Shimura Kaze!
I heard the shouts from the stage and felt the gazes gathering around me.
At this moment, Shimura Kaze deeply regretted his decision to sign up with Sarutobi Gensei and the others.
His skills are good, but that depends on who you compare him to!
He probably couldn't beat Uchiha Maiko, who didn't even flinch from Uka Senju.
Going to power now would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?
Especially considering his own surname, he didn't believe that Uka Senju would let him off easily.
However, the thought of not going on stage and being a coward made me hesitate.
Between two evils, he had to choose the lesser; he could only hope that his Clan would forgive him for his defeat despite his best efforts.
Let's give him some small compensation; he doesn't even dare to dream of a reward anymore!
Determined to fight with all his might, Shimura Kaze stepped into the ring.
Upon seeing them arrive, Kato -Jonin Kato, as usual, began, "Form the Seal of Confrontation, and begin!"
After saying that, he jumped to the best Viewing Position again.
After both parties completed the surface markings.
Seeing Shimura Kaze's solemn expression and the Wind Release seals he immediately formed, he was immediately confronted.
Uka Senju didn't even feel like describing the other person's appearance.
He stretched out his right hand, shook it a few times from side to side, and then clasped it tightly together.
"Ah...!"
A piercing scream escaped from Shimura Kaze's mouth.
He was extremely cautious and on guard when Uka reached out.
He used the Substitution Technique as soon as vines began to grow beneath his feet.
Unfortunately, the vines that had shredded the Substitution Wood instantly reappeared at the spot where his Substitution Technique had landed.
He had just used a body double, and he didn't even have a chance to use it again.
They were then tied up in a Japanese-style manner by several vines.
He wanted to surrender as soon as he was tied up.
Unfortunately, before he could utter those two words, the vines tightened and snapped all the bones in his body.
Looking at the battle scene on the arena, which was vastly different from what had just taken place.
The audience members suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable.
In the last match, they at least managed to put up some attacks, so why did they get completely shut down as soon as they went in this time?
Does this mean Shimura Kaze is weak?
But... considering Shimura's past record, they really couldn't say he was weak.
After all, they are people who have the potential to be in the top ten of the major exams.
However, most of them are aiming for the top 100, while the bottom 50 are the most competitive.
So this must be the true form of Wood Release!
A few months ago, people could still hold out for a few meetings, but now they can't even manage one.
Wood Release is powerful!
Unlike last time, this time there was very little discussion among the audience.
However, the way they looked at Uka now held many different meanings.
I had just returned to the sidelines when the game ended.
Looking at the dough that had fallen from the vines and was no longer human-shaped.
After muttering a few curses to himself, Kato Jonin jumped to Shimura Kaze's side.
This person is not the same suicidal Commoners from before.
He didn't want to be misunderstood by the other party, so he immediately called for the Medical Treatment Team.
After the person was carried off the stage, he made notes in his notebook, then looked at the audience and shouted, " Uka Senju wins the second match!"
"Three-minute break or continue?"
"Continue!"
Next challenger: Mitokado I!
Upon hearing his name called, the blond-haired boy in the audience turned pale.
When the Uchiha clan suffered a Uchiha defeat, his thoughts were actually similar to those of Shimura Kaze.
However, when you see someone who is only slightly weaker than yourself end up like this.
He couldn't help but compare the fates of his Clan and those on stage—who would suffer a worse end?
