He secretly made up his mind that he would train harder when he got back. Right now, his Chakra could only support him to use the Flying Thunder God Technique three times. If he continued to use it more, it would be almost as if he would lose without even having to fight anymore.
This is an extremely dangerous time.
So after he understood his problem, he began to develop some targeted training plans.
Instantly.
The two seemed to have reached an agreement and got together.
The Seal of Reconciliation is complete!
" Araki, I think we should call it a draw!" Minato Namikaze stood in front of Araki and thought for a moment before saying this.
"I don't need you to give in to me like this." Araki shook his head again, biting his lip.
"Alright." Minato Namikaze was also feeling helpless, because he hadn't intended to give in to Araki, but since the other party had already said so, he couldn't continue to dwell on the topic. After thinking for a moment, he asked with a puzzled look, "How do you know how to break the Flying Thunder God Formula?"
As soon as Minato Namikaze said this, everyone on the scene looked at Araki, including Ibuki-sensei. Everyone had the same question in their minds, because from the very beginning of the battle, Araki had gone straight for the Kunai, instead of attacking Minato Namikaze.
This can be described as a very opportune moment for battle.
It has an extremely strong sense of smell.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for a Ninja Academy student to analyze the battle situation so calmly and avoid falling into any traps.
Even ninjas like them can't maintain that level of caution and vigilance all the time while on a mission.
"It's very simple."
Araki grinned and said, "I've been making Explosive Tag and researching sealing techniques for many talismans during this time, so I can tell that you sealed a special spell into these talismans and then tied them to the handles of the Kunai. To be honest, I don't know what these spells are for, but based on my instinct for making scrolls, I have to destroy them first before I can fight you."
"I see." Minato Namikaze nodded, immediately understanding Araki's meaning. Those who also create scrolls would understand that scrolls could contain immense power, not just the paper they appear to be.
"If I had known from the beginning that this was the Flying Thunder God Technique, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble to fight you. I could have just surrendered. It's such a waste of my time." Araki gave a self-deprecating smile. In reality, he said these words to elevate Minato Namikaze, because that way Minato Namikaze would draw most of the attention away from him.
Araki knew very well that after today's mock battle, his name would rise in prominence within the Ninja Academy.
It's not just because of his fight with Minato Namikaze, but also because of his defeat of Boji, that he has changed many people's impressions.
However, he felt that he couldn't monopolize all the headlines and needed to distribute some attention, and the most suitable person to receive that attention was Minato Namikaze.
Correspondingly.
In this battle, he also gained invaluable experience, learning how to deal with people who had mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Although there aren't many ninjas in the entire ninja world who have mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu, you never know when you might encounter such an enemy or opponent. Just because it's not mentioned in intelligence doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's never wrong to remain vigilant.
After the two reconciled, they returned to the team.
This gesture, as seen by all the students, sparked even more questions in their minds.
This is...
Did Minato Namikaze win?
While Minato Namikaze nominally won the battle, they couldn't discern a clear distinction in the actual course of the fight.
Ultimately, there are only two conclusions that can be drawn.
First, Minato Namikaze mastered the S-rank space-time technique, the Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique, which is incredibly powerful and something that ordinary people simply cannot achieve.
Secondly, after a holiday of reflection, Araki's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, allowing him to display incredibly powerful speed, which is almost unbeatable in the Ninja Academy. He also possesses a very strong sense of smell and is extremely cautious in his actions.
But...
Who is the strongest at the Ninja Academy?
At this moment, each of them had their own different answer in mind.
It wasn't that they disrespected the result of the simulated duel, but after all, the simulated duel didn't ultimately determine a winner, and it was a simulated duel without scoring. There was more of a probing element in the battle, and at least from what was presented so far, they couldn't see whether there was a very clear winner or loser.
Even now, they all still have the same question in their minds: which one will be more powerful?
The people at the scene each had their own different answers.
However, they were unsure whether their answer was the final result, and couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
After Araki and Minato returned to the ranks, the simulated battles continued, and the Ninja Academy's preliminary exam continued to test all the students present.
As time went by, it got to noon.
The moment Ibuki-sensei announced that everyone could leave, the students in the class all gathered around Araki. This was something he had never experienced before, and it felt quite magical.
" Araki, how exactly did you train your physical abilities? Do you have any secrets?"
"Can Taijutsu really be this amazing?"
"I'm even thinking of learning martial Taijutsu!"
"You can argue with that. Just now, during my mock duel, I was even thinking about comparing it to a real, hand-to-hand combat match."
"Why haven't I ever thought Taijutsu were this cool before?"
"..."
The students who gathered around looked on with admiration, because Araki's two exaggerated accelerations had made him an idol for many of them.
"Just exercise more."
Araki smiled and replied to everyone, still feeling quite uncomfortable in this kind of setting.
I'm somewhat socially anxious.
" Araki, how do you still have the energy to make Explosive Tag?"
Minato Namikaze smiled and moved closer. He rarely interacted with Araki in the past, but after the battle just now, he felt that the distance between the two of them had become much shorter.
Upon hearing this, the students' expressions changed drastically. Only then did they notice a detail that Araki had revealed while speaking: he was making Explosive Tag.
What kind of pervert is this?
Exercising is already incredibly difficult, so how could this person possibly have that much time to create Explosive Tag?
"Just do it casually." Araki maintained that slightly awkward smile.
For the next while, the students gathered around Araki continued to chatter. Although Araki didn't engage with them too much, it didn't dampen their enthusiasm at all.
Suddenly, at that moment, all the students' eyes fell on the entrance of the Ninja Academy's training ground. A figure walked in through the gate and headed straight for Araki.
Everyone recognizes the person walking over here.
It was Maemoto Takashi.
After Boji was defeated by Araki, Maemoto Takashi carried Boji to Konoha Hospital and didn't show up for the entire morning.
Their appearance here, and their hurried walk towards Araki, immediately attracted everyone's attention, making them feel a little uneasy.
Under everyone's watchful eyes.
Maemoto Takashi walked up to Araki.
She pursed her lips.
After hesitating several times, a resolute glint appeared in his eyes.
He then bowed deeply to Araki at a ninety-degree angle.
"Sorry!"
I apologize for my previous behavior!
Please forgive me!
Maemoto Takashi's tone was melodious and he seemed to realize his problem; his tone was quite sincere.
"You don't need my forgiveness, just don't cause me any more trouble in the future," Araki said calmly.
"That..."
Maemoto Takashi stared intently at Araki, his lips moved again, and then he said, "My father asked me to invite you to my house for dinner."
"Not interested." Araki shook his head directly.
" Araki, don't misunderstand. I'm not here to cause you trouble, but to sincerely apologize." Maemoto Takashi quickly explained Maemoto Takashi seeing Araki's expression. Actually, it wasn't that he wanted to invite Araki to dinner, but his father insisted that Araki go, and he had no choice.
Chapter 54 Building a Powerful Family, the Maemoto Clan! (End of Volume)
"There is no time."
Araki coldly rejected Maemoto Takashi's invitation and turned to walk towards the gate of the Ninja Academy, giving Maemoto Takashi no further chance to speak.
Regarding this kind of thing.
Araki showed almost no interest whatsoever.
Since meeting Maemoto Takashi, this man has caused him trouble twice, and he is already fed up and weary.
If it weren't for Maemoto Takashi's appearance, he wouldn't have revealed so much of his strength by now, as Maemoto Takashi had already uncovered many of his trump cards.
Araki originally only needed to show three-tenths of his strength at the Ninja Academy, but now he's been forced to show five-tenths.
Therefore, he didn't want to talk to Maemoto Takashi.
The two of them had nothing in common to talk about.
Let alone going to the other person's home.
As for the apology...
You can apologize, but whether I accept it or not is my business!
"You..."
Maemoto Takashi watched Araki's departing figure, hesitating several times as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he shook his head and didn't chase after him.
never mind.
This kid just doesn't know his place.
I've already extended an invitation.
That's enough to have reported back to my father.
In short, it was Araki's own decision not to go; it had nothing to do with him.
