- He's already shown three elements, so how much more! - Hoshi, who had only mastered Katon to a good level and hadn't even thought about training the second element yet, was indignant.
- You don't have to train affinity to use ninjutsu from other elements," I reminded my student, "there are always techniques that require only an increase in chakra expenditure for their use.
- You, sensei, have a control that would make many jonins envious," Asani objected, "that can successfully replace almost any technique requirement, not to mention the amount of chakra reserve, but we can't do that.
- Unfortunately, Namikaze has surpassed you in terms of volume, both because of his good initial data and his age," I said, and reassured my students, "with my training, in about two years you'll be the envy of the world....
- Ryo-sensei, the break will be over soon," Asani reminded me, forcing me to stop.
- All right, you know the rest, so don't save your stamps and keep your head," I couldn't resist reminding my students again.
- Yes, Ryo-sensei," they nodded obediently, and I carried us back to the stadium, then joined the family.
Taking a bottle of water from Saya, I soaked my throat with pleasure and sat down to wait for the next fight, lazily discussing with my family the prospects of one or the other of the contestants in the exam to win.
Almost everyone was sure that Kumo was a long shot, even though she was an automatic semi-finalist - Kushina was on the level of the average jonin, even just in terms of her physical capabilities, and her chakra volume was greater than almost all the heavyweights in the village, and she was able to crush her opponents simply by that difference.
A signal sounded, warning the end of the break and the jonin appeared in the arena, inviting down the first pair of candidates.
- The first fight of the second round is Hoshi of Konohagakure no Sato against Saori Nikai of Sunagakure no Sato," he introduced the genin.
Huh, so this kunoichi is a clan kunoichi? That was the first time I listened to her introduction. At least now I can see why Jiraiya's genin couldn't do anything, blowing it so embarrassingly.
- Hajime!
This time, the Suna kunoichi wasn't sure of her certain victory, and so, as soon as the fight began, she unfolded her massive fan to its full width and waved it in the direction of her opponent with a huge amount of chakra.
The wave of vacuum blades that came off the weapon was capable of seriously injuring even the strongest shinobi, and very quickly spreading out in a wide cone, left almost no chance to dodge at such a short distance.
