Chapter 57: The First Ninja Assembly (Part 2)

The fourth match was Akatsuchi vs. Hozuki Mangetsu!

At this time, the Ninja Assembly venue was already full of people. Regarding the match between Obito and Darui, no one actually felt there was any suspense. For non-Reborn ones, Uchiha Obito was a dead-last, so how could he be the opponent of the Cloud Village's genius Darui?

And the Reborn ones were just the opposite. They were very clear about Obito's strength; he was an existence that could suppress the entire ninja world by himself. Even if Darui was the right-hand man of the Raikage in the future, he couldn't possibly be Obito's opponent!

At this time, both were in position. For Obito, he had to win this match, and he had to win cleanly and neatly, because his position was promoted by his teacher despite all opposition. If it weren't for this, then it was very likely that his teacher's reputation would also be affected, so Obito didn't intend to show mercy!

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Obito immediately sent out dense kunai from the Kamui Dimension, flying toward Darui! The tails of the kunai were also connected to Explosive Tags; clearly, Obito didn't show any mercy.

And Darui, who was the Fifth Raikage after all, had extremely fast reaction speed. As soon as the referee's voice fell, he immediately entered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, wrapping yellow lightning around his body, instantly avoiding Obito's attack...

After avoiding the attack, Darui didn't stop his pace, but attacked straight toward Obito.

As a Reborn one, he was very clear about the weakness of Kamui, and he also knew that to defeat Obito, he had to attack continuously for more than five minutes. But with his current body, if he used ninjutsu, his chakra couldn't support it for that long, so the only choice was close-quarters combat!

Under the blessing of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his attack power, reflex nerves, and defense would all greatly increase. This was his only chance of winning! So he ran toward Obito without hesitation!

And Obito didn't intend to defeat Darui in one blow either, so he connected steel wires to the kunai. After Darui avoided the attack, he immediately used his Sharingan to find him and controlled the kunai to rotate the direction of the attack to fly toward him.

Seeing this, Darui was forced to stop. He knew Obito had Kamui, which could let attacks pass through his body, and he was just a mortal body. Even with the blessing of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, encountering so many Explosive Tags, he couldn't possibly withstand it. So, he immediately stopped, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and said softly: "Water Style: Water Formation Wall."

As soon as the words fell, a prototype wall made of water appeared around Darui, covering him. And the kunai didn't stop at all. Less than two seconds after the Water Formation Wall appeared, it was already filled with kunai. As the Explosive Tags burned out, the sound of explosions immediately rang out, and the venue was instantly covered by water vapor and dust.

A large amount of dust and water vapor forced the audience to cover their eyes; they couldn't see the situation on the venue at all!

And Obito on the field opened his Mangekyo Sharingan. The observation ability of the Sharingan immediately found Darui's position!

Seeing Obito quickly form seals with both hands, a Fire Style: Bomb Blast Dance immediately attacked Darui. Darui was also a veteran of many battles. He knew Obito had a Mangekyo Sharingan and could instantly find his position. In a situation where his eyes couldn't see clearly, stopping would very likely lead to being attacked!

So he had to close his eyes and run desperately around the venue. Unfortunately, in terms of speed, few people in the ninja world could surpass Obito. With one Kamui, he instantly appeared behind Darui, and the kunai in his right hand had already reached Darui's throat!

Feeling the chill coming from his throat, Darui also knew that the outcome had been decided, so he stopped his pace!

About 10 minutes passed, and the dust and water vapor on the venue finally slowly dissipated. The referee, who had recovered his vision, saw that the outcome had been decided and immediately announced Obito's victory.

But the audience on the field had some opinions about this match!

"What was that just now? How did the outcome get decided all of a sudden? Did you see it?" "No! As soon as the match started, that Uchiha used Explosive Tags, and I didn't see anything either!" "Could it be a fixed match! I bet on Darui to win! How could the outcome be decided so unclearly?"

Most of the people at the venue were civilians, and they couldn't accept this result! After the referee's judgment, the venue began to become noisy, and the voices of doubt grew louder and louder!

Obito didn't pay attention to these people and left the field directly! He wasn't good at persuasion. To break their doubts, he could only use strength!

The second match was Guy vs. Shi. Regarding this match, in Obito's view, there was no suspense at all. Shi was an auxiliary ninja, and his perception and healing were excellent, but Guy's strength was clearly superior! Sure enough, not long after the start, Guy found an opportunity and defeated Shi with a Leaf Whirlwind!

Obito had no interest in the next two matches. No matter who the opponent was, he didn't think he would lose! So he returned to the backstage and began to close his eyes and rest!

It wasn't until the referee woke him up that he knew the other two matches had ended! The next match he had to fight was against Deidara, and Guy's opponent was Hozuki Mangetsu!

Regarding Deidara, Obito was very familiar with him. When he was still Tobi, Deidara was his partner!

Walking out from the backstage, the voices of doubt on the field were still continuing. Regarding Obito's match, the civilians basically favored Darui. Obito won so unclearly! How could they let it go!

Listening to their voices of doubt, Obito's anger grew greater and greater! By the time he finally walked to the middle of the venue, his face was already very dark!

Looking at Obito's face, the referee felt a bit guilty. He was also a ninja, and a Reborn one, so he naturally knew Obito's strength. Seeing both of them in position, he immediately announced the start of the match and then ran far away!

Neither Obito nor Deidara paid attention to the referee's actions. After he announced the start, Deidara immediately stuck his hands into the pockets behind him. A moment later, a centipede made of clay flew toward Obito!

At this time, Obito stood motionless, but the chakra on his body had already overflowed. Cyan chakra was constantly forming on his body...

Those civilians and non-Reborn ninjas at this time thought Obito was scared silly! The mocking voices grew even louder... And the Five Kage on this side saw this scene with heavy expressions. Minato immediately called the Barrier Squad to strengthen the barrier. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
