What is a kid doing in the Chunin Exams anyway?
Obito thought to himself. He had barely graduated from the Ninja Academy!
"Go get 'em, my dear granddaughter!" Onoki silently cheered for Kurotsuchi from the audience.
How could someone so young possibly know any real jutsu!
Obito wasn't impressed.
He quickly formed hand seals and gathered chakra in his throat, conjuring up a massive fireball.
[Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique!] As a member of the Uchiha clan—renowned for their mastery over fire-based techniques—this was no ordinary Ninjutsu. When it erupted, it covered nearly ten meters!
[Boom!]
The fireball surged toward Kurotsuchi but came to an abrupt halt just before reaching her.
It was a wall of earth!
With casual ease, Kurotsuchi blocked Obito's attack using a B-rank technique.
"Now for my move!" After shifting her arm slightly, Kurotsuchi launched an Earth Dragon Projectile straight at Obito's face.
It moved slowly, but within those hard rocks lay immense power.
Crunch! Crack!
The earthen dragon scraped across the ground, even producing sparks.
"This is an A-rank technique! Isn't this girl only eight years old!"
Earth Dragon Projectile was indeed an A-rank technique that required serious effort to master.
Not only would most Chunin struggle with it, but many Jonin might too—let alone seeing such a technique coming from a little girl.
Damn it! I got careless!
Obito tried leaping backward, but hesitated a moment too long and was struck by the Earth Dragon Projectile.
Well now, looks like this guy still messed up right out the gate.
Ye Liang shook his head while watching from the platform above.
If Obito had been more careful from the start and used his Sharingan to defend immediately, there was absolutely no way Kurotsuchi's Earth Dragon could've landed such a clean hit!
"Damn it! Time to use my ultimate move!"
[Rasengan!]
[Boom!]
The massive earth dragon shattered into four pieces instantly, followed by Obito extending his right hand forward.
There was still residual chakra swirling around his arm, clearly showing how he had destroyed the dragon.
"How did you break through my Earth Dragon?" Kurotsuchi asked in shock.
Blocked by her own creation, she hadn't seen Obito's Rasengan.
But what Obito couldn't see, the spectators on the stage definitely could.
This kid's still green.
Ye Liang sighed.
Rasengan was something he personally taught Obito as a trump card. But now, having used it so early, the upcoming fight was going to be tough!
Damn it! My dragon!
Little Kurotsuchi became furious. Her hands flew through rapid hand seals, soon summoning a pair of rock-made gloves that abruptly appeared on her arms.
Earth Release - Super Heavy Rock Technique!
This was also an A-rank technique that violently bound surrounding stone elements onto the fists, forming enormous gauntlets to greatly enhance close combat effectiveness.
Close combat?
Ye Liang felt puzzled because even if Kurotsuchi was a genius, she was still just an eight-year-old girl facing a fifteen-year-old Obito in melee range—this seemed insane.
However, in the next instant, Ye Liang completely changed his mind.
Look, Kurotsuchi threw punch after punch at Obito, each slow but powerful enough to send chunks of earth crashing down!
Faced with her relentless attack, Obito barely resisted, relying solely on his speed to dodge and escape!
Sharingan—Release!
Obito darted left and right. Now Kurotsuchi couldn't touch him, but her onslaught was relentless. At this moment, he couldn't find an opening to strike back.
"Could it be that I have to win by outlasting her?"
That's what Ye Liang had told him last night.
Since Ye Liang was the examiner, he naturally knew Obito's age. Last night, he gave Obito a hint—if he really couldn't defeat the opponent head-on, he could use the Sharingan to prolong the battle.
A child's stamina is definitely inferior to his.
"Cursed! I don't want to win this way!"
Obito glanced around—disdain filled the eyes of the crowd. Thinking how winning like this would still earn no support from the audience, Obito felt bitter inside.
"Hmph! I'm not a coward, you brat!" Obito Uchiha roared and charged headlong at Kurotsuchi!
"What is he doing? That girl's jutsu hasn't been canceled yet!"
"Who knows, maybe he's ready to turn the tide with a decisive move!"
"Heh, probably. After all, he's from the Uchiha clan—such confidence makes sense."
The murmurs of the audience strangely reached Obito's ears, yet he remained indifferent.
A Sharingan user's power was unmatched. Once activated, the Sharingan let him see even the smallest movements—everything seemed to slow down to a crawl.
"Boom!"
Kurotsuchi's fist narrowly missed Obito's cheek, leaving only a shallow cut.
"This is impossible! How can you keep dodging my attacks!" Kurotsuchi panicked as she realized her strikes couldn't even touch Obito Uchiha anymore.
Unconsciously, her steps became slightly disordered.
"Great chance!"
A Rasengan instantly appeared in Obito's palm. His talent surpassed Naruto's by far; thus, he required no charging time.
[The Rasengan launched!]
"Boom!"
Everything ended.
Obito collapsed from exhaustion, and Kurotsuchi also fell onto the ground simultaneously.
This...
The crowd in the arena fell into stunned silence.
They originally thought that Obito Uchiha was nothing special, yet he used the effect of the Sharingan to seize that tiny opening—something they could never pull off!
Everyone went silent.
On the arena platform, Onoki grew furious beyond measure.
Fueled with rage, he flew straight toward Obito. Kurotsuchi was his granddaughter. Now struck by an A-rank Ninjutsu, how could he possibly stand idle?
"Onoki, you're going too far!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in shock.
Both sides were Kage-level masters, so although he wanted to stop Onoki, it was already too late!
"Boom!"
A thick cloud of gray dust engulfed the arena.
Then, a young man glowing with white light blocked Onoki's hand mid-air.
"As a Kage-level master, aren't you being too undisciplined?"
Ye Liang glared coldly at Onoki.
Ye Liang activated Sage Mode while fighting against the Tsuchikage, Onoki! Of course, even so, Onoki's attacks were still incredibly heavy!
The gigantic stone, transformed into a fist and weighing several tons, was effortlessly lifted by Ye Liang with one hand! Ever since mastering Night Guy, his mastery of Taijutsu became unparalleled. Therefore, an ordinary giant rock was nothing to him.
"What a strong kid!" Onoki looked at Ye Liang warily and decided to stop attacking.
At this moment, Rin Nohara jumped down from the audience seats with several Medical Ninjas. As this was the Chūnin Exam site, a medical team was naturally on standby.
"Lord Onoki, Kurotsuchi is out of danger. She only suffered minor damage to her internal organs. We'll begin treatment right away," Rin responded before immediately starting her work.
Seeing his granddaughter was safe, Onoki stormed off in frustration. Yet when he cast another glance at Ye Liang, there seemed to be a spark of appreciation in his eyes.
"This kid is no ordinary fighter!"
