Gentle as You Are, You Never Wanted to Spare Me Another Glance

Looking at Miya in front of him, Obito was not at all frightened by his dangerous gaze. Instead, he grew even more furious.

Although Obito knew there was a great gap between his strength and Miya's, his impulsive nature had long since led him to disregard such concerns.

All he wanted now was to beat Miya to a pulp, make Rin Nohara see him in a new light, and show everyone how strong he was.

"I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Obito glared fiercely at Miya, while secretly glancing at Rin Nohara outside the arena from the corner of his eye.

When he saw that Rin Nohara's attention was entirely on Miya, it felt as though the sky had darkened, and even breathing became difficult.

"Why? Gentle as you are, why won't you spare me another glance whenever Miya is around?"

Obito's heart felt as though something had seized it tightly, and mist blurred his reddened eyes.

"You bastard, Miya!!!"

Obito then let out an angry roar at Miya.

Hearing Obito's roar, Masaki Kuhara, whose mind was in turmoil as he wondered what to do, closed his eyes.

Nothing more needed to be said. Obito was clearly courting death. He had better think about how to shift the blame after Obito was beaten into the hospital or beaten to death!

Things had already slipped out of Masaki Kuhara's control.

As for whether Masaki Kuhara had considered stopping the fight between them...

Honestly, no!

Masaki Kuhara knew that if he intervened, Miya would surely take his anger out on him.

If that happened, he might very well be the one beaten into the hospital or beaten to death.

Better someone else die than him.

Even if Obito faced mortal danger in the arena, he would not step in to save him.

As for whether Obito would survive, that would depend on his luck, or on whether the ninja hidden in the shadows would step in to save him.

In any case, he would not intervene.

To get rid of Miya, this super genius and school bully...

Expelling him was out of the question.

Only by letting Miya graduate early could the school, the class, and his own life and safety stop being threatened by Miya.

So, to obtain the most accurate information on Miya's strength, today's test had been reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very interested in just how strong Miya was, so he agreed to Masaki Kuhara's request. He would send a Jonin to help him test Miya's strength.

That was also why Masaki Kuhara had not initially put Miya on the list for the matchups.

However, Masaki Kuhara did not know whether the ninja Hiruzen Sarutobi had assigned had arrived yet, because he had not spotted anyone else outside the training ground.

"You've got courage, but do you have the strength?"

Miya spoke to Obito in a contemptuous tone, sending him into a rage.

"Aah..."

Obito clenched his fists, pushed hard off the ground with both feet, and charged at Miya.

"Too slow."

"Too weak."

As Obito attacked him, Miya stood motionless. Even without using the Particle Chakra Armor, he could knock Obito's teeth out with ordinary Taijutsu alone.

He raised his leg and thrust out his foot.

Bang.

Obito, charging straight at Miya, was sent flying by a kick.

After rolling across the ground several times, Obito quickly scrambled back to his feet. His once-clean clothes were covered in dust, leaving him filthy and bedraggled.

"Bastard."

After getting up, Obito realized he had not been badly hurt. He cursed, then charged straight at Miya again.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

One, two, three, four, and once more.

In less than a minute, Obito had been kicked flying more than ten times by Miya, who had not moved from his spot.

The people around them watched Obito get back up yet again, his body marked with more than a dozen large footprints, and sneered.

"Heh, a dead last is always a dead last."

"What a complete idiot, asking to be humiliated."

"He can't even make Miya move half a step, and he dares challenge him with that kind of strength?"

"Let's stay away from Obito from now on! My mom won't let me play with idiots!"

Masaki Kuhara could see what was happening. Miya was humiliating Obito. He could have incapacitated Obito with a single kick, but he refused to do so, instead steadily crushing his spirit.

It did little damage, but was deeply insulting.

This was not a fight, but Miya torturing Obito.

Miya was still Miya. He did not just want to kill; he wanted to destroy the heart as well.

"That's enough, Obito. You're no match for Miya."

"Don't go at him again."

Even with ten times his courage, Masaki Kuhara would not have dared to step into the fight between Miya and Obito.

But he did have the courage to speak up and stop Obito from humiliating himself any further.

"No!"

"I'm going to make that bastard Miya pay today!"

Without a second thought, Obito rejected Masaki Kuhara's suggestion. At the same time, he planted his feet firmly and began forming Hand Seals.

And they were not the seals for the Three Basic Techniques.

"Teacher, be a good boy and shut up!"

"Don't interrupt my fight with Obito."

A cold light flashed in Miya's eyes as he warned Masaki Kuhara with a "kindly" expression.

Seeing the cold light in Miya's eyes, Masaki Kuhara shuddered with fright, his heart racing wildly.

Snake, ram, monkey, boar, horse, tiger.

While Miya was giving Masaki Kuhara that dangerous warning, Obito had finished forming the Hand Seals for his Ninjutsu.

He used the Hand Seals to circulate the Chakra in his body, gathering it in his chest as though he had drawn in a great breath of air.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.

Obito opened his mouth and exhaled at Miya. The gathered Chakra immediately passed through his mouth and became a great fireball, shooting toward the motionless Miya.

To everyone watching, Miya seemed completely at a loss. Still standing motionless, he was instantly engulfed by the Great Fireball Technique Obito had unleashed.

"It's over, Miya..."

Masaki Kuhara, trembling with fear, nearly fainted when he saw Miya swallowed by the flames.

A super-genius student like Miya had come to harm in his class. There was no way he could escape punishment, and he might even be thrown into Konoha's prison.

His future was bleak.

Unlike Masaki Kuhara, Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi both cried out in deep worry as they looked at the flames in the arena.

"Mi... Miya!"

"Miya!"

Tears streamed from both girls' eyes as they stared at the scene before them, unable to accept it. They also prepared to rush toward the fireball in the arena, hoping to pull Miya out of the flames.
