Chapter 307: Unexpected Appearance

Ninja Academy Teacher: I Get Stronger Just by Teaching, Volume 225: Unexpected Appearance. "You called me to help, but then you fell first. I'm not going to stick around." Terumi Mei forced back Shiranui Genma and Ebisu, preparing to flee.

The Kisame team had been completely wiped out, one of her teammates had fallen, and on the Konoha ninja side, four or five people were still combat-ready. Terumi Mei didn't want to be ganged up on by a group of Konoha ninja.

"If you want to leave, it's simple. Hand over the scroll," Obito called out after thinking for a moment.

His battle with Terumi Mei was intense but had a sense of restraint. After Obito was injured, Terumi Mei didn't make much further moves.

But letting Terumi Mei go directly was impossible—there was no such good deal in the world. Since she participated in the battle, she had to leave something behind.

Since Terumi Mei had joined the battle for the scroll, even though they already had a Heaven scroll, Obito still intended to snatch the Heaven scroll from Terumi Mei.

"I'm out of luck this time." Terumi Mei decisively took a white scroll from her ninja tool pouch and threw it toward Obito.

She could snatch another scroll if she lost this one; Terumi Mei was confident in her strength. But if she was severely injured, that would be troublesome. And then she would lose the scroll anyway. Either way she would lose the scroll, so Terumi Mei naturally wanted to preserve her strength.

Throwing out the scroll signified Terumi Mei's surrender. Might Guy, who had been charging toward Terumi Mei, stopped in his tracks. Rin Nohara also stopped fighting the Mist genin and turned to go to Obito's position to treat him.

The genin who had been locked in combat with Rin Nohara also hurried over to check on his teammate's condition. Finding that he was still breathing, he quickly began emergency treatment.

The battle was completely over. Kakashi let out a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing.

However, Kakashi did not lie down to rest. Instead, he began to clean up the battlefield, searching the Kisame team and taking their Heaven and Earth scrolls.

"Guy, which scroll are you missing?" Kakashi asked as he walked up to Might Guy holding two scrolls.

He certainly couldn't let Might Guy and his team help for nothing. Even if Might Guy was missing an Earth scroll, Kakashi would hand over the only Earth scroll to him.

"We received an Earth scroll, so we still need a Heaven scroll," Might Guy replied.

Kakashi directly handed the white scroll marked with the character for "Heaven" to Might Guy. That way both teams could meet the exam requirements, and they even had an extra Heaven scroll.

"Great! Now we can go straight to the central tower," Shiranui Genma said excitedly.

This exam was even easier than he had imagined. When signing the consent form, he had been nervous for a while—after all, he was just a rookie who had graduated only a few months ago, yet he had to fight life-or-death battles with seniors who had graduated years ago.

Yet in just a few hours, they had easily gathered the necessary conditions to pass the exam. Shiranui Genma felt that riding on the coattails of strong teammates was simply awesome.

"Yeah, we'll head to the central tower once we've recovered our condition," Kakashi nodded.

Since the exam requirements were already met, it was naturally best to head to the central tower as soon as possible.

"We've really encountered a group of remarkable geniuses," Nara Yanshui, who had been watching the whole fight, remarked.

Obito's Fire Release and Sharingan, Kakashi's speed and swordsmanship, and Might Guy's taijutsu all amazed him. It was hard to imagine how they had trained to achieve such strength at their age.

"I think so too. They're amazing," Inuzuka Midori agreed, nodding. Her evaluation of Might Guy's taijutsu was just two words: terrifying.

Everyone thought the battle was over, and they relaxed, discussing the fight that had just taken place.

While enjoying Rin Nohara's treatment, Obito boasted about the strength of Terumi Mei, his opponent.

"She must be a super genius from the Mist. I've never seen anyone release a jutsu and then have it transform into another jutsu. I've never even heard of it," Obito declared emphatically.

After all, that way his loss was understandable—he was not at full strength, his techniques were countered, and his opponent was also a genius. It was perfectly reasonable to lose.

"Mm-hmm, Obito, you contributed a lot this time," Rin Nohara said with a gentle smile, nodding in response.

Obito had indeed made significant contributions in this battle. At the very start, he held off Kisame and Kurosawa alone, buying Kakashi an opportunity to deal with Zabuza. Later, he also held back the powerful Terumi Mei. Though it seemed neither side had won, his contribution was great.

"Even though I lost to her this time, I will definitely win next time," Obito began to look to the future.

From Kakashi, he had learned that the first two exams of the Chunin Exam were different, but the third exam was basically the same as the practical exam at the ninja academy—randomly drawn one-on-one fights.

Obito wanted to face Terumi Mei at full strength in the third exam.

"I believe you can do it, Obito," Rin Nohara smiled, cheering him on.

"Haha..." Obito chuckled, about to say something to praise Rin, when a figure suddenly flashed out, causing his pupils to sharply contract. "Rin, watch out!"

Bang!

A black-clothed adult ninja suddenly appeared beside Rin Nohara and kicked her, sending her flying as she was treating Obito.

"You bastard!"

Seeing Rin attacked right before his eyes, the enraged Obito ignored his injuries and launched an attack at the black-clothed ninja, throwing a full-power punch.

"Is this all you've got?" The black-clothed ninja easily caught Obito's fist and flung him hard into a tree. The force was so great that the tree was directly broken.

【】

This sudden turn of events startled everyone.

"Kirigakure again? Why is it one person, and I have no recollection of him." Kakashi first identified the black-clothed ninja by his forehead protector, and then doubt followed.

There were a total of ten squads of Kirigakure ninja participating in this Chunin Exam. Kakashi's memory was fairly good; although he hadn't remembered everyone in detail, he had a general idea. He was sure he hadn't seen this suddenly appearing black-clothed Kirigakure ninja.

"Could he be using a Transformation Jutsu?" Kakashi speculated in his mind. Judging by his face, this black-clothed Kirigakure ninja appeared to be around thirty. The Chunin Exam doesn't have such older examinees.

Kakashi immediately dismissed this idea, because the Chunin Exam is not some shady mission; there's no need to use Transformation Jutsu to kill.

If only one option remains, even if that option seems impossible, it must be the truth.

"An accident has occurred. Someone who isn't an examinee has infiltrated the exam hall!" Kakashi's expression was very bad.

"Rock Breathing, Full Focus Breathing, Open Gate, Open! Rest Gate, Open!"

Might Guy immediately opened the Eight Inner Gates and, concentrating his breathing, burst into speed and rushed in front of the black-clothed Kirigakure ninja, engaging in a close-quarters fight.

The two exchanged blows at high speed. Facing Might Guy who had opened two Gates plus full focus breathing, the black-clothed Kirigakure ninja showed no fear, wielding his short blade with extreme proficiency. In just half a minute of fighting, he left several scratches on Might Guy's clothes.

"Hey hey, when I was notified to take the mission, they didn't mention there would be this kind of situation." Kurosawa's expression changed as he looked at the appearing Kirigakure jonin.

A Kirigakure jonin had broken into the Chunin Exam venue and was violently attacking Konoha genin. Kurosawa could already see his death star flickering.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but he felt that he had been betrayed by the Kirigakure high command.

Dying in battle with a Chunin Exam candidate would be because his skills were inferior, but being set up to die was a different matter entirely.

"Haha, so this is Kirigakure Village? How ridiculous." Zabuza's face showed a mocking smile.

"Do you know who he is?" Kakashi, who was about to go help, stopped and asked Zabuza.

"His name is Akutami Hideyuki, a jonin who almost became one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist." Zabuza glanced at Kakashi and revealed the information he knew.

At this moment, Zabuza's mood was unusually calm. After all, this was a village where you kill classmates in the graduation exam, so such an incident was reasonable.

"I wonder if that blade you use to protect your comrades will work this time. That guy is not someone like us can compare to." Zabuza even developed a mindset of watching the show.

In his heart, both he and Kakashi were as good as dead, just dying at different people's hands.

The reason Zabuza knew about Akutami Hideyuki was because Akutami Hideyuki was his supervising jonin. Akutami Hideyuki's strength was not ordinary even among jonin; killing a few talented youths who were not in top condition was too easy.

"Kirigakure jonin..." Kakashi frowned deeply, ignoring Zabuza's words, and directly burst out with Breathing Technique to rush forward and help Might Guy deal with Akutami Hideyuki.

At this point, Might Guy was forced to open the Third Gate, but he still found it hard to withstand Akutami Hideyuki's fierce attacks. Smooth Water Release combined with sharp sword techniques, Might Guy felt unprecedented pressure.

Without a doubt, this black-clothed Kirigakure ninja before him was stronger than the Kumogakure jonin he had encountered earlier!

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu tried to go help but were directly injured.

"So strong." Shiranui Genma covered the wound on his arm, his face shocked.

When he had just faced Akutami Hideyuki, he felt the breath of death for the first time. If it weren't for Might Guy, he felt that he and Ebisu might have been instantly killed.

"This guy doesn't look like an examinee." Ebisu also noticed the problem with Akutami Hideyuki.

Kakashi joined the fight, and Nohara Rin treated herself briefly then joined the fight. But the two extra people only made Might Guy a bit more at ease, without turning the tide.

In less than two minutes, the several people fighting Akutami Hideyuki had many bloody scratches on their bodies.

Kakashi and Nohara Rin, who had already experienced multiple battles, were in very poor condition.

"Give up resistance. That way you'll die a little more easily." Akutami Hideyuki said with a relaxed and carefree expression, glancing with his peripheral vision at Obito not far away, who was looking pained and breathing heavily.

Obito was already injured. Before he could recover for long, he was attacked again. Now, even walking a bit faster made his body feel terrible.

But Obito knew he couldn't fall. His comrades were still fighting, and they were at a disadvantage.
