"After watching this battle, you can leave, the winner will surely be the first place."
"I heard that both of them followed Teacher Mokgetsu for an internship. Obito has shown obvious improvement in Taijutsu. Although Might Guy hasn't shown it, he should have improved too, just not sure if it's as much as Obito."
The observing students were eagerly anticipating the fight between the two of them.
Because Might Guy and Obito's battles often have mixed outcomes and their strength far exceeds other students, it's very intriguing.
"Guy, you haven't forgotten your limits, right? Don't get too excited and open the Second Gate." Before the battle started, Obito reminded him.
He could assure himself not to activate the Sharingan, but he was worried that Might Guy might get carried away and open the Second Gate.
"Don't underestimate me on this, I've already engraved it in my mind as self-discipline!" Might Guy smiled and gave a thumbs up as he said.
After a brief exchange, both of them formed the Seal of Opposition and were ready to start the battle at any moment.
The proctor saw that both of them were in position, and about twenty seconds later, he shouted, "Begin!"
As soon as the proctor finished speaking, Obito and Might Guy rapidly changed their breathing techniques and entered the Breathing Technique state.
"Breath of Flame, Full Concentration Breath!" Obito directly entered the Full Concentration state, which consumes a lot of energy.
After some time of Constant State cultivation, Obito felt his endurance in Breathing Techniques should be stronger.
Bang! Bang!
Their figures constantly flickered, rapidly throwing punches and kicks.
Even though they had fought countless times and frequently competed in school exams, and were often arranged by Mokgetsu for various training battles, they tacitly started with a round of probing attacks.
Because they both knew the other's strength had increased a lot. Although Obito couldn't activate his Sharingan, he could use the increased Chakra on his body, and his progress in Breathing Techniques and Yin Release was very real.
While Might Guy couldn't use the Second Gate of the Eight Gates, his Breathing Technique had also improved, and his physique had become stronger.
After a bit of probing, they both had some understanding of each other's strength.
"Eight Gates, First Gate, Opening Gate, open!" Might Guy directly opened the Eight Gates, further enhancing his body's strength.
And after the probing ended, Obito quickly flashed and widened the distance.
Since it was flat ground and not very spacious, he had to keep enough distance to have time to use Ninjutsu, so as not to be instantly knocked out by Might Guy's full-force kick.
Facing a disadvantageous field, one must be fully prepared.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Obito gathered Chakra in his throat, quickly performing Nature Transformation, and unleashed a massive fireball burning with fierce flames.
Watching the incoming Great Fireball, Might Guy's expression didn't change; he knew this Ninjutsu was just a feint, and the real threat was behind it.
Whoosh!
Might Guy exploded with leg Chakra, further increasing his already fast speed, swiftly dodging the huge fireball rushing toward him.
"Such speed, it feels like he appears in a different place in the blink of an eye!" The observing students marveled at Might Guy's terrifying physique.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!!
Obito continuously tossed Shuriken with his right hand to disrupt Might Guy's movements, but Might Guy dodged with extreme speed and kept approaching Obito.
"Fire Release: Impatiens Fire Jutsu!"
Suddenly, Obito opened his mouth and spat out several small fireballs, rapidly hitting towards Might Guy.
Might Guy was slightly surprised in his heart, he knew this Ninjutsu, it wasn't a No-seal Jutsu.
But when he saw Obito's left hand hidden behind him, he instantly understood everything.
Obito used to like using Kunai for single-handed seals to launch Impatiens Claw Red; this time he chose not to use Ninja Tools, changing tactics to catch Might Guy off guard.
Might Guy understood, but the students watching below were immediately shocked by Obito's methods.
"What's going on, I didn't see Obito forming seals, how did he use Fire Release? Aren't Ninjutsus supposed to need seals?" A watching student exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, I saw him still throwing Shuriken, how could he suddenly spit out fireballs?" Shiranui Genma showed a pondering expression.
Not only were the students surprised and confused, even the teachers were baffled, not knowing what had happened.
"How is it possible for Uchiha Obito to release Fire Release Ninjutsu without seals?" a teacher asked in bewilderment.
"Teacher Iketani, he's from your class, do you know?" The teacher next to Iketani Isamu asked him.
"Uh, his current strength mainly comes from his hard work, maybe it's an advanced technique of Fire Release from the Uchiha?" Iketani Isamu conjured up a plausible explanation and replied.
When others asked him, he couldn't understand it either, so he could only make up something that sounded believable.
"That could indeed be possible, after all, the Uchiha Clan is very adept at Fire Release." The questioning teacher felt what Iketani Isamu said made sense.
"Indeed, it's a Fire Release technique application, but it's not a no-seal jutsu; it's a single-handed seal. Think back, didn't Obito just use one hand for shuriken throwing?" Mokgetsu stepped forward to educate.
"The essence of sealing lies in guiding Chakra. If you have enough understanding of ninjutsu, you can perform single-handed seals, although it might affect the jutsu's power."
This is a piece of trivia in the Ninja World, not too outlandish. The advantage of single-handed sealing lies in the concealment of executing ninjutsu. True masters seal very quickly, and their taijutsu is strong. Rarely are there times when they can't use ninjutsu. The strongest can even simplify the sealing or not use it without affecting power.
Obito actually uses a clever trick here, aided by the Breath of Flame.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, your observation is indeed meticulous." Iketani Isamu thought for a moment and found Mokgetsu's points very reasonable.
"Isn't Uchiha Obito your intern, Director Mokgetsu? Could this technique..." The Chunin teacher beside looked at Mokgetsu in shock.
"It's not a particularly amazing technique. With more practice, everyone has the opportunity to learn it." Mokgetsu smiled and replied.
Times have changed. He needed to gradually strengthen his apparent strength, taking opportunities to explain and showcase his ninja knowledge through combat.
"Breath of Rock, Full Concentration Breathing!"
At close range, facing the oncoming small fireballs, Might Guy could only concentrate his breath to enhance his physical strength.
At this moment, besides the second gate of the Eight Gates, he had already unleashed all his strength.
Using Full Concentration Breathing, Might Guy's aura immediately became stronger.
The power boost from Full Concentration Breathing is not constant; it grows stronger as the Breathing Technique improves. Currently, Might Guy's Breathing Technique is much stronger than when he first started.
Might Guy concentrated Chakra on his feet, kicking the first two fireballs that arrived and then explosively dodged the subsequent fireballs with high speed, dealing with those he couldn't avoid with direct hits.
The Breath of Rock can greatly enhance the body, not only in terms of strength and speed but also in comprehensive body enhancement, which increases the body's defensive capability. In game terms, it not only boosts attack power but also increases life defense.
With the Chakra amplification and Breath of Rock enhancement, Might Guy might appear quite battered on the surface but hadn't suffered any injuries that could influence the battle.
"Guy's body is so strong, he kicked away several fireballs and can still move so fast. Isn't he burned by the Fire Release?"
Obito's single-handed seal Fire Release surprised everyone, and Might Guy's technique of withstanding Fire Release shocked the onlooking students.
Just as everyone thought the situation would change, Obito retreated while quickly forming seals.
"Illusion Tree Binding Kill!"
Obito immediately used this Genjutsu on Might Guy, which he had just learned recently.
Everything was still under his control. The Great Fireball forced a positional shift, the sudden Impatiens Fire forced Might Guy to exert full strength and suffer injuries. Next was the prime time to use a Genjutsu.
Might Guy only felt a big tree suddenly emerge from the ground, binding him tightly and rendering him immobile.
"Haha, I specially kept this for the grade-level combat to take the first place." Obito couldn't help but smile smugly.
During yesterday's class battle with Might Guy, he deliberately saved this for the grade-level combat.
Obito, holding a kunai, walked toward Might Guy. The tree didn't exist to others; to the spectators, Might Guy suddenly stopped as he ran.
Once he places the kunai on Might Guy's neck, the examiner would announce his victory.
"What's going on? Why did Guy suddenly stop moving?" Shiranui Genma felt that the battle between the two had taken a strange turn.
"He must have fallen into a Genjutsu. Looks like Obito's going to win." Ebisu speculated.
Although his combat ability was average, he excelled in theory and instantly realized Might Guy had fallen into a Genjutsu.
"Genjutsu: Release!"
Just as Obito was about to toast with champagne in his mind, Might Guy, who looked lost earlier, suddenly regained clarity in his eyes.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
Might Guy's Chakra burst forth as he rapidly executed a Tornado Kick.
Having suffered from Genjutsu before, he specifically sought Mokgetsu to learn how to deal with Genjutsu-type ninjas and how to dispel Genjutsu.
Might Guy's sudden surge caught Obito off guard, who thought he had succeeded, forcing him to cross his arms to block Might Guy's attack.
Bam!
Under Might Guy's powerful kick, Obito was knocked flying while Might Guy, not missing a beat, leaped and delivered an airborne elbow strike, sending Obito plummeting rapidly.
Boom!
Obito crashed hard onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
With Obito unable to get up and Might Guy standing next to him, the battle outcome was clear.
"Might Guy wins!" the examiner announced Might Guy's victory.
"It seems Obito's combat awareness still needs improvement," thought Mokgetsu.
Though the terrain favored Might Guy, Obito gained an advantage using a clever trick and had a great chance to win, but the last move was carelessly executed, leading to a loss.
