"The first match, Class B Sora versus Class D Inuzuka Tsu!"
The proctor teacher loudly announced.
"Inuzuka clan?" Sora raised an eyebrow. This clan was known for raising ninja dogs and having a keen sense of sll, and was very skilled in tracking.
"Sora, do your best!" Kurenai waved her small hand from the spectator stands.
Sora nodded to her and slowly walked onto the ring.
Opposite him was a girl with a ponytail, her face painted with the distinctive inverted triangle markings. A small brown dog followed beside her. This was Inuzuka Tsu.
’Inuzuka Tsu? I rember Kiba’s mother seems to be called that na too?’
’Probably not. Kiba is in the sa grade as Naruto, so his mother should be from the sa generation as Namikaze Minato. It seems it’s just the sa na.’ Sora looked at the Inuzuka Tsu before him and silently considered this in his mind.
"Please guide well." Inuzuka Tsu politely bowed, her little dog also barking once.
"Please guide well." Sora returned the courtesy while observing her.
In the original work, the Inuzuka clan’s taijutsu was very strong, and cooperating with ninja dogs could achieve a 1 1>2 effect.
However, this little dog in front of him was clearly still in its infancy, posing little threat.
"Begin!"
As soon as the proctor’s words fell, Inuzuka Tsu quickly ford hand seals: "Beast Mimicry Technique, Four Legs Technique!"
Her fingernails suddenly grew longer, sharp like a beast’s claws. She moved on all fours, quickly charging towards Sora. That little dog also circled from the side, trying to form a pincer attack.
"Not bad speed..."
Sora silently assessed Inuzuka Tsu’s strength.
Although Inuzuka Tsu’s movents were much faster than an ordinary student’s, in his eyes, it was still too slow.
"Let’s test first."
Sora adopted a standard taijutsu stance to et her.
Boom!
Their fists collided in mid air. Sora deliberately allowed himself to be pushed back half a step, showing a strained expression on his face.
"Not weak strength..."
Inuzuka Tsu, seeing this, gained more confidence, her attacks becoming more fierce. Her little dog, Kuromaru, also continuously harassed from the side, creating trouble for Sora.
After several exchanges, Sora deliberately took a few hits, his clothes torn in several places. Gasps ca from the spectator stands, and Kurenai also nervously clenched her fists.
"That’s about enough..."
Sora had figured out Inuzuka Tsu’s attack patterns, estimating that the act had gone on long enough, then suddenly increased his pace.
He sidestepped to avoid a claw strike, his right hand forming a knife hand aid straight at Inuzuka Tsu’s neck.
"So fast!"
Inuzuka Tsu hastily leaned back, narrowly dodging this attack. But her little dog wasn’t so fortunate. Sora’s left hand swept out, accurately catching the pouncing Kuromaru.
"Surrender." Sora gently placed the puppy on the ground. "I don’t want to hurt it."
Inuzuka Tsu bit her lip, looked at her subdued beloved dog, and finally lowered her head: "I surrender."
"Class B Sora wins!" the proctor announced.
"Wow, that move just now was so cool! He looked really struggling before, but suddenly turned it around!"
"Yeah! That Sora’s reaction was so fast. Is this what taijutsu is like?"
A few exclamations of awe sounded from the spectator stands, several students who didn’t know him couldn’t help but whisper to each other.
"Next match, Class B Kurenai versus Class C Uchiha Obito!" The proctor continued announcing.
"Well fought." Sora nodded to Inuzuka Tsu and turned to walk off the ring.
Kurenai imdiately ca up to et him, her face showing a trace of worry: "You scared ! Sora, are you okay?"
"Fine, just a few scratches." Sora smiled. "Now it’s your turn."
During this period, Uchiha Obito was a genuine dead last. Kurenai winning was only a matter of how fast, so Sora wasn’t worried.
Kurenai nodded vigorously: "I will definitely win!"
Sora sat in the rest area, his gaze sweeping over the spectator stands. Several masked figures caught his attention.
"Anbu is indeed here..."
He pretended not to see them and continued watching the other matches.
In the fight against Inuzuka Tsu just now, Sora originally wanted to see the Inuzuka clan’s human-beast fusion secret technique. Unfortunately, Inuzuka Tsu was too young and hadn’t mastered it yet. He waited for a long ti, but she didn’t use it.
However, this first match was won just right, showing strength without being too conspicuous.
What needed to be done next was to maintain this state, advancing step by step to get first place.
...
"Kurenai wins!"
"The next match is Class B Uchiha Ryota versus Class A Shiranui Genma!"
The proctor’s voice rang out. Indeed, Kurenai completely overpowered Obito...
As for Uchiha Ryota, Sora hadn’t paid attention when they were first divided into teams. He didn’t expect they were actually in the sa group.
’Hmph, don’t fall into my hands, otherwise...’
Sora looked at Uchiha Ryota walking onto the field, the corner of his mouth curving up in a slight arc. He still rembered that ’Great Fireball’ technique from Uchiha Ryota!
Uchiha Ryota, who had just stepped onto the platform, seed to sense sothing. He turned to look at Sora. Seeing the trace of a cold smile and mockery in Sora’s eyes looking at him, his heart imdiately tightened.
’Damn it, to be in the sa group as him. My brother said he has strength close to a Chunin. Should I just surrender? Otherwise, if I encounter him, it will definitely be terrible!’
’No, I am a noble mber of the Uchiha clan. How can I be afraid of an orphan from an outside village!’
Uchiha Ryota’s facial expression was very dramatic. First, there was a trace of fear, then it changed to a proud, arrogant expression.
Sora was even wondering if this guy had gone insane.
"Begin!"
With the proctor’s command, the battle between Uchiha Ryota and Shiranui Genma officially began.
No longer paying attention to Uchiha Ryota on the stage, Sora began to think about the opponents he might encounter next.
In this year, the biggest threat to Sora was Kakashi, but unfortunately he had already graduated. Asuma from the sa class was the Hokage’s son. Although his strength was not weak, he posed no threat to Sora. Now Sora had entered the second stage of the Azure Dragon Fruit power: semi-beast transformation. Even in his normal state, he had Chunin level strength. As for others like Kamizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane, they were even less his match.
"Then..."
Sora shifted his gaze to look at the others in the first sub-field. There were no opponents for Sora in his own class, but in this year, there were still many characters who would beco strong later on. People like Shiranui Genma, Morino Ibiki and others were also in the first sub-field.
Sora rembered that in the later period, although they didn’t have Kage-level strength, they basically reached the level of Jonin or even elite Jonin. He just didn’t know what their strength was like now.
Sora basically had no contact with people from other classes. After school every day, he would just go back to train his body and develop his fruit ability. With people like Shiranui Genma, they were rely nodding acquaintances. He didn’t understand their strength well.
Moreover, being a ninja was a profession with an extrely high mortality rate. It was possible that during this ninja school period, so genius in Sora’s year might have perished midway.
"Need to conserve stamina for the matches later..."
Sora decided to continue controlling the pace in the upcoming matches. The sub-field assessnt would last until the afternoon. Tomorrow would be the final round at the Fifth Battle Arena. Sarutobi Hiruzen would also co to watch then.
He must make a remarkable showing in the finals to attract sufficient attention from this Hokage!
