"Match 1: Shisō vs. Might Guy!"
Mukai taken aback and turned to look at Shisō, who seemed a little nervous.
On the other side, Might Guy, wearing a green bodysuit and sporting his signature watermelon head, had already arrived at the battlefield.
At this moment, he was not as confident as he would be in later generations; he simply stretched his body as if it were none other than himself.
That restraint was just like Shisō's figure practicing his skills on the giant rock outside the village before he became a ninja.
Mukai could also see Shisō's nervousness.
Although the other person is already an adult, he has not been a ninja for as long as Might Guy.
" Shisō, are you a little nervous?"
Shisō breathing was somewhat rapid, turned her head in confusion upon hearing Mukai's question:
"I'm sorry, Captain, I... I... I was really nervous."
Mukai the shoulder and comforted him:
"You have to believe in yourself, and you also have to believe in my and Scorpion's skills."
After so many years of hard training, today is the best stage to showcase your skills to the Shinobi World!
Your opponent is also a top-tier Taijutsu master from Konoha; this is the best possible arrangement.
Take a deep breath and calm down.
I believe in your abilities, and you should also have confidence in yourself.
Your Seven Heavens Breathing Method and your self-taught method for opening Chakra channels are both extremely powerful!
In this competition, I will allow you to activate your Fourth Activation, opening your meridians to the third level, the Gate of Life!
Be brave and do it! Leave no regrets!
Mukai felt like a parent sending their child to an exam, and offered Shisō all sorts of comfort.
With Mukai's reassurance, Shisō seemed to have truly calmed down.
"I'm on the field!"
Shisō didn't seem nervous, but when she went on stage, she tripped over the edge and stumbled before regaining her balance.
To most of the Genin, who were teenagers, this adult who was still Genin was incredibly pathetic.
Of course, among these Konoha Ninja, there were also those who mocked Shisō.
Aoba Yamashiro suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and shouted at Might Guy:
"Kai, don't underestimate this guy!"
He's incredibly strong!
Even Guy's teammates Ebisu and Genma Shiranui didn't think highly of him.
Kai, who's always causing trouble, has embarrassed them quite a bit.
They were afraid Kai would cause some trouble during the game, so they were too busy avoiding him to cheer him on.
The reminder from Aoba Yamashiro of the other team took Kai by surprise.
He grinned, revealing his gleaming White Fang, and said to Aoba Yamashiro, who was clutching her chest:
"Thank you for reminding me! The passion of youth means we won't underestimate any opponent!"
Even if the other person is a grown man, I will give it my all!
Burn, my youth!
Here it comes, Kai's signature move.
Mukai and Xie stayed comfortably on the sidelines; all that was missing now was sunflower seeds and bottled water.
Seeing Kai making a fool of himself, Scorpion scoffed and said:
Why are there so many thick-skinned people in Konoha?
"Is this watermelon-headed guy going to get instantly killed by Shisō?"
Mukai shook his head:
"No, quite the opposite, this will be Shisō's best opponent."
Scorpion knew that Mukai was very good at judging people, and hearing his evaluation of this quirky watermelon-headed guy, he started paying serious attention to the match.
Minato Namikaze, as the chief examiner, did not need to act as a referee.
He saw Kai and Shisō enter the field and listen to the referee explain the rules.
In a Body Flicker Technique, he appeared next to Kakashi, who was crouching on the railing.
Kakashi, who do you think will win?
Kakashi, wearing a mask, said lazily:
"It's Kai, of course. Although he seems unreliable, he's actually very strong."
As he spoke, Kakashi paused for a moment, recalling that the man had said the same thing on his first day at the Ninja Academy.
How could he possibly say the same thing as that coward?
Minato Namikaze patted Kakashi on the shoulder, leaning on the railing as he watched the two forming the Seal of Confrontation on the field.
"The match begins!"
Might Guy gave a thumbs-up to the somewhat reserved Shisō:
"Hey, old man from Sunagakure, I've heard you're also skilled in Taijutsu. Let's have a thoroughly enjoyable Taijutsu duel then!"
Dynamic Entry!
Although Might Guy is only ten years old, his years of high-intensity training have made him much taller than his peers.
As the match began, he launched a flying kick directly at the reserved Shisō.
Kai's flying kick was powerful and heavy. Shisō had no time to dodge, so he bent his arm and used the Panther-Style Powered Armor Arm to take the flying kick head-on.
With a muffled thud, Kai's Dynamic Entry sent Shisō staggering back three steps.
Shisō's block seemed to be instinctive; he was still in a daze.
He stepped onto the battlefield of the Chunin Ninja Exams one-on-one preliminary rounds?
Isn't this a dream?
" Shisō, give up on that idea!"
You can't even use the Transformation Technique, and you want to be a ninja?
Want to challenge me? You're asking for it!
Konoha Whirlwind!
Facing a passively defensive Shisō, Might Guy gradually found his rhythm.
He smoothly unleashed Konoha Whirlwind, a combination of a high kick and a low kick, his legs moving straight and powerfully like steel whips as he attacked Shisō.
In Shisō's dazed eyes, Might Guy seemed to have transformed into those who had bullied him back then.
Because he couldn't use Ninjutsu, he was rejected by the Ninja Academy. How many Byakugan did he endure?
The reason he secretly trained his Taijutsu behind the giant rock barrier was to avoid those Byakugan and mockery!
He trained countless times, and the basic Taijutsu had become second nature to him.
Even in a daze, he still managed to block the upper kick with his elbow and then blocked Kai's whip kick with his sideways whip kick.
He seemed out of sorts; his two instinctive interceptions were somewhat clumsy, allowing Kai to break through again.
Konoha Strong Whirlwind!
With astonishing strength and agility, Might Guy cut into the Shisō while...
He completed a triple combo of a low sweep, a middle kick, and a high push, his legs moving with effortless grace, engulfing Shisō like a whirlwind!
"Impressive Taijutsu! Guy has mastered Konoha Strong Fist to this level?"
This was also the first time Ebisu had seen his teammates perform like this.
Unlike his usual goofy image, Kai, who was suppressing Shira on the field at this moment, was completely like a master of Taijutsu!
"Kai, that's it! Let's take down this Sand Ninja in one fell swoop!"
As Ebisu and Genma Shiranui for Kai, Mukai also shouted to the dazed Shisō:
"Uncle Shisō, don't forget your dream!"
Shisō instinctively jumped up, dodging Kai's downward sweep, and looked towards the sound of Mukai cheering him on.
I also saw the concerned look on Scorpion's face, which was usually stern and aloof.
With Captain Mukai's attention, he has been granted special permission to become Genin.
Now is the time for him to prove himself on the stage of the Chunin Ninja Exams!
His more than ten years of tireless efforts are not meant to be a time for reminiscing about the past!
Kai's incredibly fast Konoha Whirlwind Triple Combo, although Shisō dodged the first hit.
Subsequent combos are not so easy to dodge.
The mid-range kick broke his balance, the high-range kick launched him into the air, and with a single, powerful blow, Shisō was sent flying into the air.
Dynamic Entry!
A mid-air combo followed by a frontal flying kick!
However, Shisō, who had been kicked into the air, became somewhat different.
He took a deep breath, and his heart began to pump blood rapidly to all his muscles.
His eyes turned somewhat grayish-white, and his whole body seemed to have become more robust.
