I glanced at my watch and raised my eyebrows in surprise: in seven fights, it seemed like half a day had passed, but in fact, fourteen Genin had managed to figure out the winners of the round in just over two hours, which was very fast for this level.
- In the next round, your students will fight first, and if they both win, they will have to face each other," Shenesu turned to me, leaning back relaxedly.
- Asani will have to deal with Namikaze before he can do that," I grinned, sharing my doubts with my relative. "Jiraiya hardly taught him only summoning as a trump card, and he's only shown raiton, though I know he has katon as well.
The blond showed some good skills in the Forest of Death when he was burning aggressive plants.
- There's no doubt about it," Shenesu nodded, "with the current situation, the Third Hokage needs to win, or at least qualify for the Namikaze finals.
- Who would doubt it," Setsura rolled her eyes, "I think Sarutobi's techniques were a big help.
- I'll go to the students," I stood up and handed Saya a wad of money, "I need to cheer them up and discuss battle tactics with the new information, and then I'll be back.
Using the shunshin, I just caught the genin leaving the waiting balcony for the corridor. Minato was not among them.
- Girls, a moment," I smiled welcomingly at the young Uzumake and turned to my charges, "we need to discuss a few things before round two.
- Yes, Ryo-sensei," the students approached without objection and I placed my hands on their shoulders, carrying all three of them outside the stadium, to the roof of a house in the distance.
- Hoshi's a good opponent with less speed and a weak fire element, but you," I turned to Asani, "Namikaze is a difficult opponent, perhaps not even two-thirds of her true capabilities, except for her speed, but that's best left unreliable.
- Of course, sensei," she nodded, "I'll take him as an enemy jonin whose abilities are unknown.
Given that I've put them up against the jonin as well, both singly and in pairs, she has an idea of the danger level.
- Well done, and also - if suddenly the blond will make some strange movements, such as preparing weapons that will not reach you, use strange scrolls or unfamiliar techniques, at the same moment put the kekkai or go underground, - I found it necessary to warn, - and take as a rule that the blond will be able to find you underground, if not by chakra, then by vibrations.
- Is it possible to do that? - The kunoichi wondered.
- Doton users from Iwagakure can do that," I shrugged, "and Namikaze has used doton before and if you remember who Jiraiya's teacher is, that's not the limit.
