"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
Since Kisa was determined to continue fighting, Kyosuke rcilessly unleashed another powerful fire-style jutsu.
However, this ti, Kisa, having had a mont to catch his breath, was finally able to counterattack.
Facing the approaching fire dragon without a hint of panic, he clasped his hands together, and three massive sharks shot toward the fire dragon.
"Water Release: Water Shark Breakthrough Technique."
The two ninjutsu collided in mid-air. After a brief stalemate, they dissipated at almost the sa ti.
And a large amount of water vapor quickly spread throughout the venue.
Then, Kyosuke once again used the Body Flicker Technique to get close to Kisa.
With a slight raise of his arm, the A-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi in his hand slashed at Kisa.
Because of Sahada, Kyosuke did not use a chakra-infused sword technique. This slash was just an ordinary taijutsu attack.
But even so, Kisa was still struggling to defend.
No matter how he dodged and moved, the edge of the A-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was always aid at his vital points.
Although he could use Sahada's large body to block Kyosuke's attacks for a ti, the huge gap in their speeds still left him struggling to cope.
Seeing that he was about to be at a disadvantage again, a ruthless Kisa directly took a blow from the A-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi with his body, then raised Sahada and quickly slashed at Kyosuke.
Unfortunately, his move had already been seen through by Kyosuke's Sharingan, so this attempt to trade blows was a complete failure.
In just a few short minutes, countless new wounds had appeared on Kisa's body.
This young powerhouse, who had once suppressed a jinchuriki, was in such a sorry state at the hands of Kyosuke.
For a mont, the ninja from the Sand, Mist, Stone, and Cloud villages all fell into a deep silence.
Is Konoha really that strong? This question arose in their hearts at almost the sa ti.
Sensing this, the Third Hokage, his face hidden beneath his hat, couldn't help but let a triumphant smile grace his lips.
At last, my efforts have not been in vain, the Third thought, looking at the dominant Kyosuke on the field, more and more satisfied.
But then, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
His talent is so great. Once he... The Third's brow furrowed in deep thought, but he then dismissed his own idea. No, this child Kyosuke is different from the other Uchiha.
But what if...
Sigh, the Third sighed, then said in a low voice, "I must be on my guard."
Konoha... cannot have another Uchiha Madara.
Kyosuke looked at Kisa, whose wounds were healing extrely slowly, and asked again, "Still not surrendering?"
"Surrender?" Kisa asked back with a strange laugh. "Do you want to surrender?"
Kyosuke said coolly, "Why do you say that?"
"Heh, isn't the purpose of your Konoha this ti to intimidate the other nations? If I surrender just like that, what chance will you have to show off Konoha's strength?" Kisa said, looking at him with a mocking tone.
"Not bad. You're a sharp one. Then let ask you, what is the purpose of your Mist's visit this ti?" Kyosuke asked.
Hearing his words, Kisa's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Did he notice?
However, he certainly wouldn't admit that the purpose of their participation in the Chunin Exams was to test Kyosuke's level.
Because even Kisa himself couldn't understand why the "Mizukage" would do such a thing, even going so far as to bestow Sahada upon him.
At the thought of the Mizukage, Kisa's expression couldn't help but darken.
That man... there's definitely sothing wrong with him.
Unlike his brutish appearance, Kisa had extrely keen observational skills.
He was also one of the few in the Mist Village at this ti who had noticed the "Mizukage's" strange behavior.
However, he was currently in a position of little influence, so he had no way of proving his thoughts.
But one day, Kisa was sure that he would be able to uncover the truth.
Although Kisa did not answer Kyosuke's question, his expression still revealed so things.
As I thought, Kyosuke sighed to himself. At the sa ti, he silently recited a na in his heart: Uchiha Madara.
It was clear that both the Mist's strange targeting of him in the Forest of Death and the Sahada in Kisa's hand pointed to the sa thing: soone was targeting him, Kyosuke.
And the only one who could command Kisa and the others was the Mizukage.
Using Kisa to test my caliber, to see if I'm suitable to be your puppet? Kyosuke sneered in his heart.
Wishful thinking!!!
Huu~ Kisa, whose wounds had healed again, let out a shallow breath, looking at the silently standing Kyosuke opposite him.
At the sa ti, the pain that was coming from all over his body also seed to be telling him that he had reached his limit.
I can't get injured again, Kisa silently warned himself as he slowly moved backward.
Just as Kisa was preparing for one last, all-out attack, Kyosuke's figure suddenly appeared behind him.
"Has your over-reliance on Sahada's chakra dulled your senses to this extent?" This Kyosuke said, at the sa ti, using the Striking Shadow Snakes to bind Kisa.
Although Sahada promptly used its spikes to kill the snakes, it was already too late.
Boom!
With the sound of an explosion tag, Kisa's entire body was sent flying.
Ironically, he had been defeated in the sa way in his last battle with Kyosuke.
Doesn't learn his lesson, Kyosuke said, then quickly closed the distance to him.
After kicking Sahada far away, Kyosuke lifted Kisa's body and, with the A-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, pierced through his shoulder, pinning him firmly to the wall of the venue.
"Do you surrender?" Kyosuke pressed again.
Logically, the referee at the side could have stepped in to stop the match by now, but he did not.
It was clear that he must have received so kind of instruction to do so.
Hearing Kyosuke's question, Kisa smiled wearily. In the end, he could only say with a sigh, "I surrender..."
Seeing this, the referee imdiately stepped forward to stop the match, and then said in a loud voice, "Kisa Hoshigaki surrenders! I declare..."
"The champion of this Chunin Exam is... Uchiha Kyosuke!!!"
BOOM~~~
A cheer that seed capable of overturning the venue erupted.
Aside from so of the more self-important clan ninja and Jounin, the civilians, including many Chunin, were all cheering wildly.
"Kyosuke~~~"
"Kyosuke~~~"
"Kyosuke~~~"
Hearing the roar of the venue, a strange smile flashed across Kyosuke's lips for an instant.
At the sa ti, he began to bow to the audience in the arena.
Seeing this, the Third, while feeling relieved, also couldn't help but scold himself for his earlier overreaction.
Unfortunately, he did not notice Kyosuke's smile just now, nor the deep aning hidden behind it.
