I rolled my eyes - he was not happy about my student's victory, but about the huge sum he would get for winning the bet from the bookmakers. However, remembering the imminent increase in his own finances for the same reasons, could not hold back a smile and actively supported the winner with applause.
The iryonins quickly evacuated the victim, and I decided to send the kage bunshin to help them - I doubt the hospital chief sent his best staff here, but this kunoichi fought well and if nothing unforeseen happens, has the potential to be a full-fledged jonin. It's worth giving her a chance to realize it.
The family looked at me with a glance at the doppelganger, but didn't say anything, only Linley muttered "womanizer" under her breath, rolling her eyes.
- Ai, these are our allies and I am somewhat responsible for my student's actions," I said quietly, but judging by the skeptical looks, it didn't work.
- Asani of Konohagakure no Sato versus Minato Namikaze of Konohagakure no Sato! - Meanwhile, the jonin continued as the aforementioned genin came downstairs and took their seats, with the blond appearing on the balcony sometime towards the end of the last fight. - Hajime!
And almost completely repeating his last fight, Namikaze promptly shortened the distance with his opponent, only this time, Asani did not stand still, but made the same maneuver, meeting the overconfident blond in the middle, not inferior in speed.
- Idiot," Shenesu snorted, "he missed your student's last fight, and Jiraiya clearly didn't leave any clones behind to gather information, taking his student.
- Uh-huh," I agreed, watching the situation closely.
The genin were in taijutsu, and Namikaze was surprised to find that not only was his opponent as fast as he was, but also in hand-to-hand combat, easily avoiding attempts to knock him down and dodging blows to the side, while her counterattacks were unexpectedly strong for a short and slender girl.
But he realized the full extent of his mistake only when Asani was able to catch him in a small mistake and grabbed his arm, pulling it out of the joint with one powerful jerk. And while he was distracted by the sudden pain, she slammed into his right shin with all her might, knocking his legs out from under him and knocking him to the ground.
The next blow should have come to the temple and decided the outcome of the fight, but the blond showed that he wasn't too shabby either - vaporized in a cloud of replacement smoke, he left behind an activated kibakufuda and the student had to urgently erect a thin wall of stone in front of him, slapping a piece of paper on it.
At the same moment, there was an explosion that scattered the ground in all directions, but only the flimsy defense survived with almost no visible damage, only a little scratched.
A very convenient, simple and cost-effective defense seal that imitates the effect of barriers, but requires for its work a material carrier, strengthened to the level of hardened steel. My development, which allows to save a lot of chakra and consumables used in its creation, unlike the Kekkai seals. I haven't thought of a name for it yet.
