Chapter 68: Who Will take First place?

"Guy, do you remember me? Your strength is indeed not bad, but meeting me here, this time you can only stop here." Hyuga Kamon, with a regretful expression, said as he faced off with Guy.

Although Guy has the strength to be second, when he encounters the first, he can only fall in the second round.

"Uh, who are you?" Guy scratched his head, trying to recall the opponent in front of him but found that he couldn't remember.

"Could you be Hyuga Daimon?" Guy vaguely recalled the invigilator sensei's shout just now.

Hardened, his fist hardened.

Hyuga Kamon felt that Guy was humiliating himself.

"I am Hyuga Kamon, who defeated you in the last exam. It's Kamon, not Daimon!" Hyuga Kamon couldn't help but correct, deciding that when it comes to the battle, he must make Guy take notice.

!

"I understand." Guy formed the hand seals and nodded.

"Exams begin!"

As soon as the invigilator sensei's voice fell, Hyuga Kamon directly activated the Byakugan. The veins around his eyes surged, giving Hyuga Kamon's face a somewhat fierce appearance.

Under the influence of the Byakugan, Hyuga Kamon could see through everything about Guy. He could easily see the meridian pathways and the flowing Chakra within Guy.

Without hesitation, Hyuga Kamon chose to actively attack by condensing Chakra in his palms.

Equipped with the Gentle Fist and the Byakugan, Hyuga Kamon believed that no one in the Academy could surpass him in close combat.

The Byakugan allowed him to see through the opponent's movements, and the Gentle Fist, when combined with the Byakugan, could directly block the flow of Chakra by injecting it into the opponent's chakra pathways.

However, something unexpected happened. The fist that Hyuga Kamon swung towards Guy was quickly seized by Guy.

Guy also grabbed Hyuga Kamon's other hand, which was attacking his chakra pathways.

Hyuga Kamon quickly began to use his legs for attacks, but kicking techniques were Guy's specialty. Guy released Hyuga Kamon's hands and unleashed a rapid Whirlwind Kick, sending Hyuga Kamon back three meters.

"How is this possible? I clearly saw through it, but my body..." Hyuga Kamon's hands trembled, looking at Guy in disbelief.

Just now, he had seen through Guy's movements, but he found that his body couldn't react in time.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Huh, Hyuga Kamon actually fell behind in a Taijutsu showdown!" The onlooking students were astonished.

Since Kakashi graduated, their generation had basically been under the domination of Hyuga Kamon. Anyone attempting to compete with Hyuga Kamon in Taijutsu ended up with a painful lesson.

"Is Guy really that formidable? He reached second place in the grade last time, and now he's aiming for first place."

Guy's fierce performance instantly earned the surprise of many people.

"Guy, keep it up!" Chitani Isamu couldn't help but cheer for Guy when he saw him actually suppressing Hyuga Kamon, who had been the top student in the previous exam.

It was as if he could see a substantial prize money beckoning to him.

"Cough, Chitani-sensei, you're the invigilator this time, pay attention." The nearby invigilator sensei, observing Chitani Isamu's excited cheer, couldn't help but quietly remind him.

Chitani Isamu then realized and quickly closed his mouth, but the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

"Although Guy has the upper hand, the final result is still uncertain. As long as he gets hit by the Gentle Fist once, the attacking rhythm will be completely disrupted," commented one sensei.

Some sensei nodded in agreement.

For Hyuga Kamon, a mistake would at most result in some pain, but if Guy were to be struck by the Gentle Fist, things would take a serious turn; having Chakra forcibly injected into the body was no trivial matter.

In other words, Hyuga Kamon had many opportunities for mistakes, while Guy, if he made one, risked a downfall.

Chitani Isamu glanced over and noticed that the speaker was Hyuga Kamon's homeroom teacher.

He didn't argue; after all, with Hyuga Kamon having achieved first place so many times, Chitani Isamu didn't feel very confident.

What happened next exceeded the expectations of many people.

Hyuga Kamon made great efforts to launch several attacks against Guy, but he didn't manage to land a single hit. Instead, it was during one of Hyuga Kamon's attacks that Guy seized the opportunity and kicked him.

"Wow, cover your eyes! If you didn't know any better, you'd think Guy was the one with the Byakugan." The students were impressed by Guy.

Previously, it was always Hyuga Kamon who saw through the opponent's movements and easily dodged attacks. This time, the roles were completely reversed.

"You only see Guy's current agility, but you don't know what he has been through." Obito overheard the students discussing nearby and couldn't help but recall his own and Guy's tragic experiences.

Getting hit once meant solving two extra problems. The battle started with dozens of questions already, and one had to hit the opponent while avoiding being hit to reduce the number of questions.

It was precisely through undergoing this terrifying training that Guy's current agility was forged. Obito still had a few questions from the previous stages left unsolved.

"Damn, what's going on?" Hyuga Kamon, who had been at a disadvantage all along, was starting to feel anxious. He couldn't understand why things turned out this way. Clearly, in the last battle, Guy wasn't this strong, so how did his strength improve so much in just two months?

In his eagerness to turn the situation around, Hyuga Kamon exposed more vulnerabilities. Guy concentrated Chakra in his legs, erupted, and seized the opportunity to deliver a rapid kick, his signature move.

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

Bang!

The leg, reinforced by Chakra, fiercely kicked Hyuga Kamon, directly knocking him to the ground and rendering him unable to continue the fight.

"The fourth examinee, Guy, wins!" declared the invigilator sensei.

All the grading sensei unanimously awarded Guy a full score of ten for his Taijutsu.

Hyuga Kamon's Taijutsu score was given a 9.9, but the sensei knew that the difference between the two was more than just that 0.1.

"Guy indeed had a tough match against Hyuga Kamon. Thankfully, he wasn't hit by Gentle Fist even once; otherwise, it would have been tough." Chitani Isamu said with a smile, already sensing the presence of the prize money.

Hyuga Kamon's homeroom teacher opened his mouth but ultimately chose not to speak.

"It seems like Guy will be the first this time, defeating even Hyuga Kamon." Onlooking students felt that the first place in the grade for this exam had already been decided.

"Not necessarily. Uchiha Obito's Fire Release Ninjutsu is very strong. Even if Guy's Taijutsu is powerful, can he withstand Fire Release Ninjutsu at this stage?" Uchiha Tekka couldn't help but argue. He had lost to Obito again in this class practical, so he hoped Obito could secure the top position.

Soon, Obito also proved with his combat prowess that Uchiha Tekka's words were not empty boasts.

Shiranui Genma, the first in class 6, was easily defeated by Obito.

Obito's formidable Fire Release and impressive Taijutsu directly propelled him to replace the already defeated Hyuga Kamon as the top contender for the first position.

If it weren't for the need to invigilate and grade, Chitani Isamu would have already wanted to take Mutsuki to an Izakaya for drinks.

With these two students in hand, who could worry about not having prize money? Is there such a thing as too much prize money?
