Chapter 326: The Power of Flame Iron Mountain Charge

Ninja Academy Teacher: I Get Stronger by Teaching, Main Story Volume Chapter 244: The Power of the Flame Iron Mountain Slam. When they heard the examinee's name, many spectators instantly perked up and quickly looked toward the fighting arena in the center of the venue.

After the first round of battles, the spectators had a general idea of the contestants' strength and knew which contestants were relatively strong.

After all, ordinary people didn't understand nature transformation ninjutsu and such, but they could judge the examinees' strength by the scale of the ninjutsu and the speed at which the ninja dealt with their enemies.

Obito had once spewed a large sea of fire in his fight against Asuma, clearly a fierce fighter, while Terumi Mei had also easily eliminated her opponents in battles, her strength not to be underestimated.

Moreover, since they were from Kirigakure and Konoha respectively, this battle had many highlights.

"Last time, I lost because I didn't have enough stamina. This time, I'll make sure you know my true strength." Obito said with a confident sneer.

He was very bothered by losing to Terumi Mei in the Forest of Death. After all, ever since he became stronger, he could easily beat anyone his age except for Muyue and a few other disciples.

"Nice idea, but did you think last match was my full power?" Terumi Mei replied without backing down. It's not like she couldn't talk tough too.

"Begin!" When he saw the two were ready, Nonō quickly announced the start of the exam.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Obito immediately focused his breath, formed hand seals, and spat out a huge fireball toward Terumi Mei.

Although he knew this Great Fireball definitely wouldn't work on Terumi Mei, he didn't have any other more suitable fire release ninjutsu to start with.

"Water Release: Water Formation Pillar!"

Terumi Mei similarly performed hand seals on the spot and used a ninjutsu, but the water ball she spat out was three times the size of Obito's fireball. When water and fire met, Obito's Great Fireball was instantly extinguished, and the water ball continued charging toward Obito.

Although such a water ball couldn't cause much damage, Obito knew that Terumi Mei had a technique to directly turn the water ball into a Water Dragon Bullet, so he immediately dodged away from the water ball.

"I shouldn't have acted back then. He's learned some information about me." Terumi Mei sighed inwardly.

Seeing that she couldn't catch Obito off guard, Terumi Mei cut off the chakra supply to the Water Formation Pillar. Her technique actually required continuous chakra maintenance to directly use the Water Dragon Bullet without hand seals; it was essentially an application of chakra shape transformation.

The large, not very flexible water ball didn't have tracking capability, so it simply crashed onto the ground, splashing water everywhere.

Obito looked at Terumi Mei leisurely. He was waiting for an opportunity; directly confronting Terumi Mei's water release with fire release was not a wise move.

He wasn't stupid; last time he lost because of a head-on clash, so this time he would definitely change his tactics.

Terumi Mei didn't act recklessly either. Although Obito's ninjutsu was countered by hers, Obito's taijutsu was much stronger than hers.

Of course, the two just didn't make major moves, but they weren't standing still.

Terumi Mei quickly scanned the entire arena. Initially, there were many trees here, but after so many battles, they had either been knocked down or burned. Now, besides the open ground, there was only a small pond.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Terumi Mei dodged the shuriken Obito threw, quickly formed hand seals, and used the technique again.

Seeing that the water dragon seemed to want to drive him toward the small pond, Obito burst chakra, used Shave to pull away in the opposite direction, and ran toward the wall at the edge of the fighting arena.

He knew that water release was stronger when used near water. Although it was just a small pond, it could still provide some assistance to Terumi Mei.

"Flame Breathing Chakra Mode!"

Obito enhanced his breathing, entered Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, which further strengthened his physical abilities, then activated his Sharingan to enhance his perception. Through agile movements, he perfectly let the Water Dragon Bullet hit the wall behind him.

At the same time, Obito reached into his ninja tool pouch, took out a shuriken, infused it with fire-natured chakra, and threw it at Terumi Mei.

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"

Terumi Mei gathered chakra in her mouth, simultaneously performed water and earth nature transformation to combine into lava release chakra, and finally spat out a large amount of yellow viscous liquid.

The yellow viscous liquid had extremely strong corrosive and adhesive properties. Obito's Sharingan could clearly see that the moment his shuriken touched the liquid, it fused with it, and at the same time, some changes occurred on the metal surface.

Although it was still subtle due to just making contact, the powerful insight of the Sharingan allowed Obito to notice this.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? It doesn't seem like water release. It looks very powerful." Obito thought of what Terumi Mei had said before the battle.

So Terumi Mei really wasn't bluffing; she had actually been holding back.

Just as Obito was wondering whether to try using fire release, Terumi Mei spat two more bursts of yellow viscous liquid at him.

Out of caution, Obito didn't use ninjutsu to counter but dodged.

Perhaps the technique itself had some flaw, as Obito dodged it very easily.

But just then, Obito suddenly noticed that the initial liquid had actually solidified, turning into a gray wall.

Then, thinking about the attack he had just easily dodged, Obito instantly sensed great danger.

He couldn't guess what Mei Terumi was trying to do, but he was sure she wouldn't make a meaningless attack; this was the formidable enemy who had once defeated him.

"Flame Fist!"

Obito compressed a large amount of chakra into his fist, then instantly converted it all into fire-natured chakra and slammed it into the gray wall beside him.

Boom!!

With the powerful punch and fierce flames, Obito immediately blasted a large hole in the gray wall. He walked out through the hole and dashed toward the center of the arena.

"Still no good. Having my information exposed is really troublesome." Mei Terumi felt the battle getting more difficult.

From the Water Dragon Bullet onward, her goal was not to attack Obito, nor even to drive him to the pond, but to guide him to the wall at the edge of the arena.

This way she could use Lava Release to create a wall and construct a semi-enclosed space to enhance the power of her Boil Release.

Boil Release had greater lethality than Lava Release, but there was a problem: in such an extremely open space, the power of Boil Release would be greatly reduced.

Mei Terumi couldn't directly create a closed space in the open area, and Obito wouldn't be foolish enough to fight her in a closed space, so she chose to progressively create a semi-enclosed space step by step.

But Obito reacted too quickly, immediately figuring out her plan through the Boil Release she had used in the Forest of Death.

Having used multiple ninjutsu in a short time without any results, Mei Terumi felt a sense of crisis. She quickly headed toward the pond, wanting to use the water there to reduce her Water Style chakra consumption.

But how could Obito let Mei Terumi go easily? After being chased and attacked for so long, the fire in his heart was already blazing fiercely.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Obito spat out small fireballs one after another at Mei Terumi. Although the fireballs were small in size, they were numerous, and their overall attack range exceeded that of the Great Fireball.

"Water Style: Water Prison Technique!"

Mei Terumi immediately used a water barrier to protect herself; she couldn't possibly dodge all those fireballs.

Although Obito's Flame Breathing chakra mode was incomplete and couldn't be used without hand seals, it could still simplify the seals, making his ninjutsu faster.

After spitting out over a dozen fireballs, Obito immediately stopped, and with a burst of chakra in his feet, he flashed forward and charged right in front of Mei Terumi.

"Fire: Leaf Whirlwind!"

When the flaming whirlwind kick struck the water barrier, the barrier that had blocked several fireballs shattered instantly, and Mei Terumi was sent flying backward.

"Water Style: Water Formation Pillar!"

Without time to stand up, Mei Terumi began forming hand seals rapidly while half-lying on the ground. Ignoring the chakra cost, she gathered a massive amount of chakra and spat out an enormous water sphere, three times the size of her initial water sphere!

The enormous water sphere instantly engulfed the charging Obito.

But Obito was already prepared. Holding his breath, he unleashed all his breathing power. At that moment, Flame Breathing was pushed to its limit, and all the chakra in his body burned, transforming into fuel to enhance Obito's strength.

Without any time for further thought, seeing the figure rapidly approaching through the water, Mei Terumi immediately made the Water Formation Pillar undergo a shape transformation.

She intended to turn the Water Formation Pillar into a Water Dragon Bullet, just like last time, to defeat Obito.

But unfortunately, this time's Obito was slightly different from the one she had fought in the Forest of Death.

Through the high-pressure battle against Jiejian Xiuxing, Obito's Flame Breathing had undergone a transformation, greatly enhancing his power in extreme states.

Mei Terumi's movements were fast, and the water sphere was rapidly changing, but Obito was even faster. In the blink of Mei Terumi's eye, he was already within three meters of her.

Decisively, Mei Terumi abandoned control over most of the water and instantly completed the transformation into a Water Dragon Bullet.

A not particularly thick Water Dragon Bullet charged toward Obito.

She didn't dare gamble on whether she could complete the full transformation before Obito reached her, because if she lost that gamble, her Chunin Exam journey would end, and her path to becoming Mizukage would also be affected.

Although a weaker Water Dragon Bullet couldn't defeat Obito, it should be enough to repel him.

"Fire Style: Blazing Charge!"

Obito activated the power of his Flame Breathing chakra mode, his entire body bursting into orange-yellow flames. A large amount of chakra gathered at his shoulder, and in the posture of an Iron Mountain Lean, he collided with Mei Terumi's hastily formed Water Dragon Bullet.

Mei Terumi's Water Dragon Bullet, transformed from the Water Formation Pillar, required no hand seals, and Obito's Fire Style ninja body technique similarly required no hand seals.

Boom!!

The moment Obito's shoulder collided with the water dragon, the flames on his body burned even more fiercely. With the powerful impact and the high-temperature flames of Flame Breathing, that not very thick Water Dragon Bullet was shattered directly by Obito's collision.

The rapidly changing situation on the battlefield made the spectators all gasp in admiration.

You know, at the start Terumi Mei was suppressing Obito, but in just a few minutes the situation had turned like this.

"This Uchiha Obito is impressive." The officials of the Land of Fire felt Obito might be the strongest examinee in this Chunin Exam.

Obito's form engulfed in flames made them subconsciously think he was even stronger—to ordinary people, that was far more terrifying than someone spitting out a fireball from their mouth.

"This guy actually held back a trump card when he fought me." Asuma stared in shock at Obito, who was shrouded in flames.

He had thought that even though he lost, he had forced Obito to reveal all his tricks.

"How did he do that? Why didn't the fire hurt him?" Raido Namiashi felt his knowledge of ninja was being challenged.

How could there be such a thing as Fire Release Ninja Body Technique? That's not ninja.

"After taking so many hits, he finally learned a little lesson." Seeing that Obito's victory was sealed, Kakashi nodded inwardly.

When Kakashi saw Obito lured to the wall at the edge of the arena, he wished he could log in and take over, but fortunately, Obito eventually saw through it.

Since the jutsu was destroyed, Terumi Mei no longer needed to output chakra. She stood there stunned, and at that moment, Obito, his whole body ablaze, had already walked up to her.

"I told you, this time I would be the one to win." Obito aimed his flame-covered palm at Terumi Mei, who was half-lying on the ground.

If this were a battlefield, he could instantly release the flames and kill Terumi Mei.

"You win." Terumi Mei said dejectedly, her head slightly lowered.

She wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat, but the result of losing still made her feel terrible.

Even though she had shown all her strength, she didn't know if she, having lost in the second round, could gain the favor of the village's upper ranks.

She had originally prepared a bunch of simulations for fighting Might Guy and Kakashi, but now they were useless.

"Uchiha Obito wins!" Hiruko announced the winner of the match to the entire venue.

The spectators supporting Konoha cheered. Just now Might Guy had won a match, and now Obito had won another—that was two consecutive wins, and this was still the second round.

"Could it be that Konoha also sent young chunin to take the exam?" Genji couldn't help but think.

In order to suppress Konoha in this Chunin Exam, Kirigakure had specially found a few young chunin and some powerful genin, yet the results were only like this. Genji couldn't help but suspect that Konoha had done the same thing.

With Might Guy's taijutsu, Uchiha Obito's fire release, and Hatake Kakashi's speed—you call these genin?

After winning, Obito didn't immediately return to the rest area. He canceled the Breathing Technique but didn't deactivate the Sharingan. Relying on the excellent vision of the Sharingan, he saw Rin Nohara smiling in his direction, seemingly happy about his victory.

"Hehe." Obito showed a satisfied smile. Even though he knew Rin Nohara couldn't hear him, he still waved at her and said thank you.

After walking back to the rest area, Obito immediately jumped in front of Kakashi, chattering endlessly about all the clever decisions he made during the fight.

To sum it up in one sentence: it was all thanks to his intelligence and wit that he won—no raw power, just skill.

"If you reversed the content, that would be fine," Kakashi commented.

"Momochi Zabuza vs. Hatake Kakashi!"

Hiruko's voice once again reached the rest area.

"Tch, I'll just have to see what world-shaking wisdom your fight contains," Obito said with a sneer.

Kakashi didn't argue with Obito; he walked into the battlefield at an unhurried pace.

This fight really couldn't demonstrate any world-shaking wisdom, because the opponent's strength was average.

Even Kakashi before the special training could defeat Zabuza without much difficulty, let alone now that he had awakened the Transparent World and undergone special training.
