Chapter 4 Obito's Challenge
"There are many outstanding students in this year's class. Their future achievements will definitely surpass mine."
Naohiro Takahara glanced at Kyosuke, then at Kakashi, Asuma, and the others, feeling quite gratified.
After school, Kyosuke was stopped at the gate by someone who wanted to challenge him.
"Kyosuke, I challenge you. You should be proud to be defeated by the great Uchiha."
Obito held his head high, crowing like a proud rooster, but his eyes were fixed on the classmates watching him. He felt very pleased with everyone's attention.
Kyosuke looked at Obito and thought to himself, "It seems my performance wasn't impressive enough. I can only be challenged by someone like Obito."
That's true, being able to refine chakra quickly doesn't necessarily mean being very strong.
Besides, even if Kakashi were to come, Kyosuke felt he might not be able to defeat him. As for Obito, on the first day of school, his underdog nature hadn't yet been revealed, and the Uchiha name was still quite intimidating. Defeating him, according to the game's rules, would probably increase his reputation points.
Kyosuke was pondering something and didn't answer immediately. Kai stood directly in front of Kyosuke, pointing to himself with his thumb, ready to take on the challenge.
"Obito, I also want to challenge you. I'll go first today!"
Guy wasn't stupid. He knew that Kyosuke had only just developed chakra, and that Obito, as a member of the Uchiha clan, must have already undergone ninja training. Kyosuke was definitely no match for him. Not wanting Kyosuke to be embarrassed, he prepared to go himself.
At least, Kai had received a long period of training from his father and knew some physical skills.
"Hmph, you thick-browed guy, get out of my way. I'll deal with this pretty boy first, then it'll be your turn!"
At this moment, Obito was very arrogant and did not take Guy seriously at all. Moreover, Obito was very unhappy to see that Kyosuke's face was attracting the attention of many girls and was determined to teach Kyosuke a lesson and make him look bad.
Haha, so Obito came to challenge me not just to show off his strength, but also because he was jealous of my looks. Kyosuke smiled, gently pushed Guy away, and teased Obito with a hint of mockery.
"Hehehe, Obito, I'm already more handsome than you. If you get defeated by me, you'll be ugly and weak, and no girl will like you then."
With his secret exposed, Obito blushed with embarrassment and anger, and shouted defiantly, "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't care about girls. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of."
Kyosuke wasn't afraid of the children's challenge. He pointed to the school and said, "Let's go to the playground then. It's spacious there."
It's just a challenge. Winning is glorious, but losing is no big deal. Kyosuke's skin is much thicker than a child's, so he won't feel ashamed.
Seeing the spectacle, many students who were about to go home stayed behind and gathered on the playground to watch the show.
Many parents who were picking up their children also stayed behind, since Obito was a member of the Uchiha clan and would always be looked up to.
The school's teachers stood in the teaching building and watched the scene unfold. They made no attempt to stop it; instead, they planned to use the fight to gain a deeper understanding of the student's abilities and personality.
"Who do you think will win?"
Ebisu pushed up his sunglasses and asked the students around him.
Asuma looked at Kyosuke and snorted, "Hmph, Kyosuke may be quick at refining chakra, but the Uchiha clan is a powerful clan in the ninja world. Although they are difficult to get along with, their strength is definitely formidable. Kyosuke is doomed to lose this time."
Kai retorted directly: "Kyosuke trains very hard and hasn't wasted a single moment of his youth. He will definitely win!"
Genma Shiranui looked towards the school gate, watching Kakashi's departing figure, and said, "For a genius, the efforts of an ordinary person are nothing."
Feeling the attention of so many people, Obito felt extremely comfortable and wanted to perform even better. He formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Technique to create a clone.
"Hahaha, I'm a genius of the Uchiha clan, I've already mastered ninjutsu, you can't beat me!"
Although it's the most basic clone technique, it's something that ordinary ninjas, apart from students with ninja lineages, can't access at all. So when they saw Obito's performance, they all exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing the people's praise, Obito became even more excited. He and his clone rushed towards Kyosuke from the left and right, shouting, "It's over! Accept your fate of defeat!"
Kyosuke obediently extended his right hand, making the opposition hand seal, then calmly glanced at the two Obitos, completely ignoring the Obito on the right. He dodged the fist of the Obito on the left, and while Obito was still unable to retract his power after throwing a full-force punch, Kyosuke kicked Obito in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
At the same time, Obito's illusionary clones turned into white smoke.
Obito collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach, his face filled with disbelief: "Impossible, how could you see through my clone?"
Since Chisuke Tasaka and the others have explained and demonstrated it, of course I know how to distinguish the basic clones.
That day, Kyosuke wouldn't tell the truth. Instead, he said, "Your clone's movements and expressions are a bit stiff, and its voice isn't as arrogant as yours. So, as long as you identify the most arrogant and brainless one, it must be your real body."
Upon hearing Kyosuke's explanation, many people around him nodded in agreement.
Indeed, not only were Obito's clones imperfect, but Obito's constant arrogance further highlighted their flaws. With some training, most people could recognize Obito's true form.
However, in just a few seconds, Kyosuke was able to remain calm and composed in the face of the attack, carefully analyze the enemy's intelligence, and then make the right counterattack. This is truly an excellent mental quality that many genin cannot do.
"This Obito Uchiha is quite weak. Could he have been holding back?"
"They were all defeated, how could they not have used their full strength?"
"However, Kyosuke is quite good. Although he has not received ninja training, he is as calm as a natural ninja."
"Hmm, I heard he extracted chakra in just ten minutes. He's truly a genius."
Hearing the whispers around him, Obito became furious, his face burning with rage. He immediately stood up and charged forward again, throwing another punch.
"I haven't lost yet. I was just careless just now. Now I'll let you experience the taijutsu of the Uchiha clan!"
It must be said that Obito's attacks were well-structured and methodical, with fluid punches and kicks and no significant gaps in his attacks. Kyosuke could only retreat repeatedly.
At this, Obito became arrogant again, and his attacks became faster and faster: "Hahaha, I knew it, you are no match for me!"
Kyosuke had learned taijutsu from Chisuke Tasaka and knew how to defeat Obito, but he couldn't explain the origins of taijutsu, so he dared not use it. At this moment, he could only take advantage of Obito's personality, wear down Obito's stamina, and prepare to win by using a trick.
Sure enough, Obito continued his shouting and all-out attack, but in less than a minute, before his fist even reached Kyosuke, he was already sweating profusely. He stopped shouting and his movements became slow and somewhat distorted.
Clearly, Obito's physical abilities are inferior to Kyosuke's, who trains diligently.
The time has come!
Seeing Obito's somewhat feeble punch, Kyosuke suddenly stretched out his right arm to block, then took a step forward and bumped directly into Obito's arms, then threw a left uppercut straight at Obito's chin.
"what?!"
Obito had been on the offensive and had developed a momentum, so he never expected Kyosuke to suddenly counterattack. He was caught off guard and his eyes were somewhat dazed. He was hit in the chin without any reaction and fell to the ground again. Obito's mind was a little fuzzy, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chin.
