Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Victory or Defeat

The audience around couldn't help but gasp.

I didn't expect that in addition to small fireballs, Obito still had the energy to use this large-scale fire escape.

How amazing is this kid's lung capacity?

Everyone couldn't help but worry for Asuma.

Is breathing really that magical?

Even the Hokage's genius son was defeated by the last person who mastered this secret technique?

Because no matter how you look at it, Asuma is now in a dead end.

He wanted to retreat, but his feet were already on the edge of the ring and there was nowhere to retreat.

He wanted to jump over the sea of ​​fire, but Obito was standing on the other side of the sea of ​​fire with a sword in hand, staring at him eagerly...

At this point, jumping off the stage to avoid the flames is obviously the wisest choice.

After all, this martial arts competition is just a practice match, there is no need to take too much risk for it.

Even if he was defeated by the breathing method and Obito's unprecedented strange moves, no one would laugh at him...

Many of everyone's ideas did indeed surface in Asuma's mind, but he quickly suppressed them...

He first looked at Obito deeply.

Before, he thought that this kid was lucky enough to get the guidance of Teacher Hideki, so he was qualified to compete with him on the same stage.

Once the breathing method becomes popular, this guy will once again become just like everyone else.

But now he has realized that he was wrong.

Not because Obito could corner him now.

If he had achieved this level only by relying on the magic of breathing techniques, he would not have looked at Obito with new eyes.

The real key lies in that unique fire-style ninjutsu.

Although this secret technique is obviously possible only by relying on the magic of breathing.

But Asuma knew very well that this was not something that could be easily accomplished by simply mastering the breathing technique.

Otherwise, Mr. Hideki would not have failed to tell him.

In particular, what Obito stored in his body was the most unstable Fire Chakra.

Once it erupts inside the body, even if there are adults watching over it, it is definitely not something that can be resolved with just a minor injury.

Without sufficient talent, effort and awareness, it is impossible to master this dangerous ninjutsu.

Yes, especially enlightenment...

At least for him who has also developed the nature change of fire escape, it is impossible for him to learn this kind of ninjutsu that can result in death if one is not careful.

Therefore, the fact that Obito was able to do such a foolish thing made Asuma admire his determination to become stronger at all costs.

Then he began to murmur softly:

"I recognize your awareness. Among all the opponents I've fought, no one can match your determination to become stronger..."

"I, Asuma, would like to call you a formidable enemy!"

"So I will not hold back and will use my strongest means to defeat you."

After saying that, Asuma cancelled the Chakra Sword and began to form seals with both hands, while refining a large amount of Chakra...

Although the injury on his shoulder slowed down his seal-making movements.

But the sea of ​​fire that was surrounding him also became his protective circle, allowing him to complete the hand seal without Obito being able to interfere.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Seeing that the flames were about to burn Asuma's feet, he took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully.

The next moment, a gust of wind swept out of his mouth, blowing the flames on the ground towards Obito.

The wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind.

Amid the audience's exclamations, the flames became more and more fierce, and at the same time rolled back towards Obito, forcing him to retreat in panic.

Although Asma's method was good, it seemed to be a step too late.

The flames on the ring spread rapidly like a prairie fire, and slowly spread along the floor to the corner where he was.

Before the flames catch up with Obito, he would probably be burned first.

Asuma, however, didn't seem to care.

Because making the fire bigger is just a side effect, his real purpose is not this.

After he performed the Great Breakthrough and completely exhaled all the Wind Style Chakra and air, he began to inhale with the force of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Perhaps to avoid inhaling too much heat, he turned his head to breathe in the air outside the venue.

After inhaling to his limit, he exhaled it all again, adding it to the strong wind that had not yet dissipated, making the wind even stronger.

At the same time, he controlled the wind chakra mixed in the air, making the strong wind rotate with himself as the center.

Then he kept speeding up his breathing, like a bellows, repeatedly inhaling and exhaling large amounts of air, and like a top being twitched with a rope, making the wind speed faster and faster.

Soon, the flames that had been burning more and more vigorously, leaving Asma with almost no room to stand, began to die out rapidly.

As he approached the center of the ring, the flames along the way quickly dissipated.

The principle is actually very simple.

Wind helps fuel a fire because it brings in more oxygen.

However, once the wind is too strong and continuously carries away a large amount of heat, the flame will not be able to reach the ignition point, and will not be able to continue burning even if there is more oxygen.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

"What about the Fire Style that restrains the Wind Style?"

For a poor student like Obito, of course he couldn't understand the operations of Asuma, a master of reverse attributes.

However, Obito did not give up and started shouting:

"Asuma, your strange wind jutsu can blow out the fire, but it doesn't have much actual killing power."

"You don't have a chakra sword or ninja tools right now, you can't be my opponent!"

Asma continued to breathe in and out air, creating a strong wind on the ring.

So this time it was his turn to be speechless, so he turned his gaze to Teacher Hideki standing beside him.

Hideki understood again, and said to Obito using a secret voice transmission method:

"Asuma is trying to say, Obito, before you say these things, please take a look at your chakra sword."

Upon hearing this, Obito subconsciously did as he was told, but was immediately shocked by the result.

Because at this time his chakra sword actually began to flicker!

What kind of magic did this guy use?

Hideki explained:

"It's breathing, Obito."

"The reason you didn't notice it right away is because you're so used to this environment."

"The faster the wind speed, the lower the air pressure. Being in this strong wind is no different from being in a low-pressure chamber."

"You can practice breathing techniques in a low-pressure room, but the real effect of breathing techniques must be achieved in a place with sufficient oxygen."

"So even though you are still practicing the breathing method, the increase it brings is far less than before."

"And Asuma can manipulate this strong wind to suck in more air than usual and get a greater increase."

"And this ability to restrain the breathing method is exactly the terrifying aspect of the breathing method's true advanced mode - the Storm Breathing Method."

As Hideki finished his words, Asuma, whose chakra had been greatly depleted, decisively launched his final attack.

"Wind Style: Super Breakthrough!"

Asuma just blew hard, and a hurricane absorbed the wind around him and swept straight towards Obito.

Obito didn't sit there and wait for death. He inserted the chakra sword into the gap in the floor to stabilize his body.

This did allow him to block the first impact of the hurricane.

However, the chakra sword was soon overwhelmed due to the lack of chakra and shattered into pieces.

As a result, Obito had no place to exert his strength, and was blown backwards by the hurricane, until he hit the guardrail of the audience seats and stopped.

Then the strong wind on the ring stopped, and Hanyu's voice sounded:

"The winner is decided!"

"The winner is Asuma Sarutobi from Class 5-A!"
