Chapter 4: Actors Get into Character in a Second! (Nine Updates)
"Whoa!"
The students present all focused their attention on the area where the simulated battle was taking place.
This is a very rare thing.
You should know...
Standing here now is Sarutobi Karen Kaede, the famous and beautiful teacher from the Ninja Academy.
The simulated battles were indeed more exciting, but they didn't attract much attention; the students' focus was more on Sarutobi Karen Kaede.
Opportunities to see beautiful female teachers up close are rare.
After this, there will probably be a mock competition assessment a year from now.
So if you can take a few more glances, then take a few more glances; even just one more glance is a bonus.
Despite this, many students were still drawn to Araki, mainly because his initial speed was terrifying.
It looks like it was ejected.
In the blink of an eye, he was beside Kushina.
This scene immediately gripped the hearts of the students present, who had a vague feeling that Araki could easily defeat Kushina with a single punch.
These students aren't the only ones who think this way.
Even Sarutobi Karen Kaede frowned deeply, already considering whether or not to intervene.
In her mind, she was almost certain that Araki had won.
This speed exceeded her expectations; within the Ninja Academy's circle, she was virtually unmatched and could be considered invincible.
Now they're charging aggressively towards Kushina...
Sarutobi Karen Kaede was highly skeptical of the effectiveness of this plan, which was intended to entice her to intervene.
But...
That's way too fast!
How could you stop them right from the start?
That's not convincing at all!
Sarutobi Karen Kaede was a little conflicted at this moment, but she decided to concede this move. If Araki gained the upper hand and continued his aggressive attack, she would then devise a countermeasure.
At this very moment.
Kushina is angry.
She was genuinely angry.
She had a very simple thought in her mind: it was okay if Araki didn't give in to her; she wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand. However, she couldn't accept, and couldn't accept, the situation where Araki wouldn't give in to her because of the beautiful teacher, and even seemed to be bullying her severely.
That's outrageous!
With that one thought in mind, Kushina clenched her hardened fists and watched Araki rush towards her.
I can't see it clearly.
But she did not give up.
He was simply waiting for the right moment to deliver a powerful punch to Araki.
Araki's speed was incredibly fast in the first step, grabbing everyone's attention, but he seemed to run out of steam afterward, his speed plummeting until he reached Kushina's side at a normal pace.
Chance!
Kushina's eyes lit up. Jealousy over Araki's behavior in front of the beautiful teacher erupted in her heart. Seizing the momentary opening, she punched Araki directly in the chest.
"Bang!"
Kushina felt her fist strike hard muscles, the impact of which made her fist ache, as if she had hit a body of steel.
Araki is so hard!
Kushina's first thought was that she was going to lose!
But...
What happened next.
This left everyone present speechless.
After taking that heavy punch, Araki naturally lay on the ground, looking like he was faking an accident. Judging from his posture, he wouldn't be able to get up without paying several hundred dollars.
"Is this the Konoha Strong Fist?"
"That's it?"
" Araki is useless!"
"I thought he was really amazing!"
"Why does it feel like he ran out of power after his first kick?"
"What the hell are you hitting?"
"..."
The students who had been focused on Araki couldn't help but complain bitterly. The scene they wanted to see didn't appear, making them feel that the time and effort they had spent was wasted, and they would have been better off watching Karen Kaede-sensei instead.
That wretched Araki!
It's a waste of time!
After making a few complaints, the students at the scene became too lazy to say anything more, as if saying another word would be a waste of breath. Instead, they turned their attention back to Karen Kaede-sensei and admired her stunning beauty.
"???"
Sarutobi Karen Kaede's head was full of question marks as she looked at Araki, her mind filled with confusion.
What's going on?
There was absolutely no reason for them to slow down like that from the initial starting speed!
Achieving that kind of deceleration effect requires additional effort!
Even if you are not strong enough, as long as you maintain the speed, the speed will not drop suddenly. This is the result of deliberately slowing down.
Why?
What's the point of doing this?
Sarutobi Karen Kaede couldn't understand it at all. She thought Araki couldn't possibly lose, but the latter was already lying on the ground.
"Can you get up?"
Sarutobi Karen Kaede walked to Araki's side, looked down at Araki, and saw that the latter was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. He didn't look like he had been knocked down at all; he looked more like he was resting.
Especially the area around Araki's chest, which looked like it had been punched hard, actually had no destructive force and shouldn't have caused such an effect.
"It won't work."
Araki said weakly, still putting on an act, and not too badly at that, even though he knew Sarutobi Karen Kaede would definitely see through it.
"Okay, I understand."
After a moment's thought, Sarutobi Karen Kaede nodded slowly, then turned her gaze to Kushina and said, "The winner of this simulated duel is Kushina Uzumaki!"
Right now.
Kushina was still in a daze.
Her punch was delivered with great force, even with hatred, venting all her dissatisfaction with Araki; it was a punch brimming with emotion.
But when she saw Araki lying down, her dissatisfaction vanished instantly, replaced by a strange pity.
These emotions are expressed in an instant.
After venting her emotions and regaining her composure, Kushina began to realize the problem and understood that Araki lying on the ground seemed to be acting.
She was just overwhelmed by her emotions and couldn't control herself. Girls are often like this; when they can't hold back their emotions, venting them is often the best solution. Reasoning with them is useless.
After re-examining the matter, Kushina instantly realized what had happened.
This is what Araki meant by giving in to her!
Instead of directly admitting defeat, they made her pose in a way that was meant for outsiders to see.
" Araki..."
Kushina's beautiful eyes were filled with heartache. She wanted to go over and help Araki up, but then she heard Sarutobi Karen Kaede's low voice.
He's alright.
Three simple words.
That's how Kushina was frozen in time.
This immediately made him even more convinced that Araki was acting.
He was just too into the role. His actions and emotions were all acting, completely fooling her. He even threw a heavy punch.

"Oh~"
Kushina responded softly, then stood still, somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to do next.
Sarutobi Karen Kaede gave Kushina a meaningful look, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.
Students these days really know how to have fun!
It was just a simulated match.
They even managed to turn it into a public display of affection.
This made her, a single woman in her late twenties, want to try dating.
only...
Sarutobi Karen Kaede also has its own sorrow.
Being too good-looking also has its drawbacks.
