Chapter 95: Final Result

As Muyue expected, Obito's body had no real problems—just excessive chakra consumption and muscle fatigue from using Shunpo multiple times in a short period.

After all, Obito had just used Fireball, Great Dragon Fire, and several incomplete Shunpo and Clone Techniques.

Among them, the Clone Technique consumed the least chakra, but its role was absolutely crucial.

After receiving treatment, Obito woke up quickly. Seeing Muyue sitting beside him, he couldn't help sharing the highlights of his recent battle.

"As soon as I got kicked by Guy, I knew that if I fought normally, I'd definitely lose. So I decided to use ninjutsu at range even if it meant I couldn't use Shunpo anymore."

"To save chakra, that Fireball looked impressive but wasn't really powerful. I just wanted to distract Guy and block his view."

When he talked about using the Clone Technique to fool Might Guy, Obito's eyebrows danced with excitement.

"I know Guy is sharp in battle, so I forced myself to ignore the pain and made the clone act exhausted and drained to mislead him."

Obito felt he could brag about today's fight for a whole year. There were so many details—the clone didn't start acting different right away; it ran for a while before pretending to be tired, making it much more natural.

"You really performed well today. If you can stay this calm in future battles, that would be great." Muyue praised.

After a fierce fight, Obito was so exhausted he passed out, but by now he had recovered a little.

Walking to the training ground and facing Shisui, Obito felt a bit conflicted.

As the sun gradually moved toward the west, the battle on the training ground was about to begin. The final match of the seven-progression was between Obito and Asuma.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Muyue-sensei's teaching." Obito grinned, revealing a satisfied smile.

Muyue thought for a moment. He knew Obito intended to give up on the exam, and since Obito really wasn't injured, Muyue took him back.

Now Obito didn't care that much. Shisui was strong, but Obito was no slouch either.

Raido Namiashi was very fast. Though not as fast as Might Guy using Shunpo, he was among the strongest in Class A. Wielding a kunai in close combat, he gave Asuma a lot of trouble.

Asuma might have had a chance initially, but a tactical misstep cost him the opportunity, and he soon fell to Obito.

When Raido Namiashi faced Asuma, everyone realized they might have underestimated Raido's strength, as well as Shisui's.

Why did I say all that just now? To show off? Of course not. There's no point in bragging about beating peers to a teacher.

Muyue felt that if Obito were to be evaluated now, he should at least score an Intelligence 7, maybe even an 8 or 9.

After confirming there was nothing wrong, Obito suggested going back to the training ground to watch the battles.

Raido Namiashi should have been on the list, but since he had already lost—and lost decisively—everyone thought he wouldn't win if he fought again.

Everyone carefully recalled, and no matter whether the opponent was a second-year student or a graduated chunin, Shisui's time to defeat them was about the same.

"As seniors, we're really not qualified. We need to train harder from now on!" Kurenai Yuhi said.

When he first started training with Muyue, Obito was often discouraged by Shisui's training progress.

But today, Obito really felt he had no hope of beating Shisui. His condition was average.

"The final match: Uchiha Shisui versus Uchiha Obito." Muyue announced the names of the final students.

If Obito had to name the only flaw in this battle, it would be that two people were missing—Yagai Guy and Kakashi weren't there.

Currently, Class A students generally believed that only Might Guy, Uchiha Obito, and Asuma Sarutobi had a slight chance of winning.

By the time Muyue's main body returned to the training ground, the first round had already ended. Half the students were eliminated. The second round had just finished not long ago, and there was still some time before Obito's turn.

I just wanted to show my progress and then earn Muyue's recognition.

In the second round, Shisui's opponent was another graduated chunin. He finished it cleanly as always, and no one was surprised.

Knowing he would lose, Obito still fought with all his might. Although the result was as expected, Obito wasn't disappointed because he had done everything he could.

The third round was similar, but worth mentioning was Min'aihui and his teammate Raido Namiashi meeting each other.

After training for so long, Obito's taijutsu was no longer a pure weak point. It was just inferior to Shisui and Might Guy, but he could handle other peers.

If Yagai Guy had been there, he would have praised Obito's battle intelligence, and Kakashi, that brat, would have dared not look down on him.

Obito's sudden charge threw Asuma off. Since Obito had mostly avoided close combat against Guy, Asuma thought Obito's taijutsu was still the same as before.

Against Guy, Obito could only keep distance and avoid his edge, but against Asuma, Obito rushed straight in for close-quarters fighting.

However, Asuma had been beaten up quite a bit in the past two days. He didn't lose his composure due to Raido's fierce attacks and quickly found a chance to counterattack and win.

The number of times I've fought Might Guy is many, but with Shisui, there are almost none.

Because what I need to practice for a week, Shisui finishes in one morning, and moreover, Shisui is from the same clan as me, and older than me.

When students perform well, he never stints on his words of praise. If you constantly deny them out of fear that they might become complacent from a young age, in the end they will lose confidence in themselves.

As a result, when the fight started, Min Aihui was stunned, and was hit by Obito's direct "Shave" plus "Leaf Whirlwind Kick," leaving his head buzzing.

"They're all from the Uchiha clan. A prestigious family is indeed a prestigious family." Ebisu sighed.

Clearly the same age, but my strength compared to these clan ninjas had too great a gap, and I was eliminated in the first round.

The only possibility is that Shisui's personality is rather mean, he wants to make others lose too embarrassingly, so he chooses his fighting strength according to the opponent's strength.

Could it be that Shisui's strength is sometimes low and sometimes high? We think there should be no such possibility.

Obito's opponent in the seventh round was a seventh-grade student. Even though Obito's condition wasn't at its peak, he smoothly dealt with his opponent.

Moreover, he defeated Might Guy today. Obito was in a very good mood, and as soon as it started, he went to find Guy to boast about today's comeback battle.

"What a pity, you originally had no chance to win. I didn't expect Obito's taijutsu to have improved this much." Asuma felt a bit regretful.

There are still three chapters tonight.
