Dual attributes

Chapter 76: Dual Attributes

"What did this Taki Kiba do?

How did he dodge such a fast flame?"

"That's not right! I just saw

the fire escape combination ninjutsu swallow him up. Why is he unharmed?"

"You are all idiots. It's

obviously a Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"The one who faced the fire

escape ninjutsu was a shadow clone, which got wiped out when it was hit by the

flames."

"But what about his real

body? Don't forget, the one in the air was also a shadow clone!"

The participants looked at each

other, frowning and thinking. They figured out Uchiha Hirohiko's tactics, but

what did Taki Kiba do? Since the one in the air was a shadow clone, what about

his real body? Where was it hidden? How did he do it? They couldn't understand

it at all!

Their eyes focused on the shadow

clone that fell from the sky, ignoring Kiba's real body using the Decapitating

Air Strike.

"Oh, this is amazing!"

"Why are these two kids so

smart?"

"Yeah! I don't understand

what happened at all!"

There was also a lot of discussion

in the general audience.

Sure enough, it's not that simple! Uzumaki Kushina shook her head with a

smile. During this period of training, she saw the progress of Kiba and

Hirohiko. Although Kiba grew rapidly, Hirohiko, as a member of the Uchiha clan,

had opened his Sharingan. His speed of progress was astonishing. Moreover, to

deal with Kiba, Hirohiko practiced his physical skills hard, advancing by leaps

and bounds.

Kiba's Taijutsu could be tied with

hers, and during this time, Hirohiko's Taijutsu could also match hers.

What was even more astonishing was

that Hirohiko, like Kiba, was a ninja with dual chakra attributes, even better

than Kiba's combination. Fire attribute and wind attribute, wind attribute

promoting fire attribute, were the best combination.

Compared to Kiba, Hirohiko was a

member of the Uchiha clan. In all of Konoha, no one could use Fire Style as

powerfully as the Uchiha clan. As for Wind Style, she was also proficient. With

dual attributes of wind and water, she taught Hirohiko many Wind Style

techniques.

However, Kiba had only one water

attribute the same as hers, so she could only teach him Water Style. He learned

Earth Style on his own.

Kiba was undoubtedly her most

proud disciple, but Hirohiko's situation gave her confidence in him too,

especially with his Sharingan.

In her heart, Kiba was very

strong, but Hirohiko was also very strong! Hirohiko was probably the only one

who could defeat Kiba!

And now it seemed Hirohiko did

have this strength. Kiba probably found him more troublesome than Hyuga Yutaka.

In fact, Kiba really thought so.

Fighting Hyuga Yutaka had

exhausted too much energy. Although he rested and ate Yukina's rice balls, he

wasn't in his prime. Trying to kill Hyuga Yutaka was reckless. The Life Gate

mode couldn't be sustained for long.

Kiba looked at the panting

Hirohiko and frowned. Hirohiko should be the most difficult opponent to deal with. He knows me

too well! Knowing Wind Style and Fire Style, being a Uchiha, and having the

Sharingan, what a tricky guy! I need to figure out a way...

While Kiba was thinking, the Life

Gate mode slowly closed. His chakra level dropped, which had already been

consumed. Now, with Life Gate mode chakra gone, his chakra level was about half

of a standard Genin. Now... it's even more difficult! Kiba's mouth twitched.

At this time, Hirohiko panted

heavily. It's

still too strenuous, splitting two shadow clones for combined ninjutsu, plus

the previous consumption. My chakra is almost depleted... Enough for one more

ninjutsu? Hirohiko had a very accurate grasp of his chakra

level, understanding his own situation.

This was also thanks to Uzumaki

Kushina. During practice duels, she always warned her three disciples to

monitor their state and added special tests to train them in controlling their

chakra levels.

Among the three, Kiba had the most

accurate control of chakra, and Hirohiko had the most precise calculation of

it. It wasn't easy to judge, but one thing was clear: Yukina's control over

chakra was also very fine. She often had the most chakra left at the end of

practice.

Well, this is the only way now!

This time, Kiba and Hirohiko

raised their heads simultaneously, their eyes meeting, both thinking the same

thing.

Close combat! Taijutsu decides the winner!

In that moment, they understood

each other's thoughts. It's the kind of feeling where you know what the other

party is going to do with just one glance and expression!

Kiba and Hirohiko thought

simultaneously.

Even Yukina in the stands

murmured, "Are they going to fight?"

Hyuga Yutaka also focused on the

two, a serious expression on his face. Sure enough, this Uchiha Hirohiko isn't easy to deal

with! Taki Kiba, let's see... if it were me... Hyuga Yutaka

frowned, thinking. These two know each other so well. It's been a tough fight, hasn't it?

Kiba, Hirohiko.

Namikaze

Minato observed from the sidelines, a smile playing on his lips. However, he

could see the strain in both Kiba and Hirohiko as their intense battle

continued.

"Clang!" A spark shot

out from the two kunai that were tightly locked together.

"Boom!" The kunai

intertwined, and the moment the sparks burst, their fists collided. Then, a

flash in their eyes, and "Boom!", their foreheads, protected by

forehead guards, slammed into each other.

Both leaned back under the impact,

feeling dizzy for a while. Their hands trembled, and they quickly retreated.

"Thud!"

"Thud!" They landed simultaneously, creating a distance between them.

Instead of attacking, they covered their heads.

Next time, never use a headbutt! Too bad! It hurts

like hell! Kiba

thought.

No more headbutts, so dizzy! thought Hirohiko.

Kiba narrowed his eyes, passing

the kunai from his left hand to his right, slowly reaching behind with one

hand. In the process, he scratched something, his face pausing slightly. This is...

On the opposite side, Hirohiko bit

a kunai, slowly stretching his hands behind his back. It's impossible to defeat

him in close combat! Then, I'll use this to determine the outcome. I must

control my strength carefully. If I fail, the consequences could be severe.

A gleam appeared in Hirohiko's Sharingan.
