Chapter 133: Obito's Mission Settlement

"Number two, Hyuga Kamon, and number four, Might Guy, prepare for the exam."

Might Guy's opponent in the second round was Hyuga Kamon, who had previously defeated him once in the first semester.

Hyuga Kamon did not participate in Mutsuki's summer special training because he had to undergo training from his family elders at home.

Mutsuki understood Hyuga Kamon's mindset. The Hyuga Clan's taijutsu was unique, and ordinary sensei couldn't teach much to Hyuga students.

Even if he were a Special Jonin, Hyuga Kamon probably wouldn't have gone for it. He must have felt that Mutsuki couldn't help him become stronger.

Guy, you better be careful. I'm stronger now than I was last semester," Hyuga Kamon said, sealing the confrontation.

During the final exam, being defeated by Guy was a bitter pill for him to swallow. During the break, he sought help from his uncle to refine his Gentle Fist technique. Now, Kamon had the confidence to defeat Guy.

"You are?" Guy scratched his head, feeling that the person in front of him, who was giving him a dirty look, seemed somewhat familiar.

"I remember now, you're the Hyuga kid from last semester!" Guy recalled the memories of the final exam.

Kamon's forehead was almost wrinkled into the shape of a well, and for a moment, he didn't know if Guy was tactically trying to provoke him or if he genuinely didn't remember.

Unable to contain himself, Kamon corrected loudly, "It's Kamon, Hyuga Kamon! Is your memory really that bad? Your theoretical grades must be terrible."

"You've got a keen eye. Indeed, my theoretical grades aren't that great," Guy said, sealing the confrontation.

Hyuga Kamon had nothing to say, taking a deep breath to prepare for the battle. Last time, he was slightly inferior to Guy in terms of strength, although he could see through Guy's movements, his body couldn't respond accordingly.

This time was different. With the help of his uncle, his speed and level of Gentle Fist had both improved. Moreover, as long as Gentle Fist landed, he no longer had to worry about causing damage. He no longer had any weaknesses.

"The battle begins!" the proctor shouted as soon as both of them were ready.

Kamon instantly activated his Byakugan, veins bulging around his eyes. He saw through all the Chakra pathways and pressure points in Guy's body. Then, Kamon quickly stepped forward and attacked Guy's Chakra points.

Guy easily dodged to the side and then countered with a powerful punch. Kamon, who had anticipated Might Guy's movements, attempted to block the punch with his palm but was pushed back over a meter.

"Your strength has increased significantly, even more than before!" Kamon, feeling his numb palm, adopted a serious expression. It seemed that Guy had also made considerable progress.

'At this level, there's no need to use Breathing Technique' Guy judged after a probing attack.

Many students watching the fight considered this round a near-failure for Kamon.

"Guy is still strong, Kamon is no match for him," said Shiranui Genma.

He was number two, and his first-round opponent was Kamon.

After fighting against Kamon, Shiranui Genma felt that he was only of average strength in Group A. Winning against him, who was considered weaker in Group A, couldn't possibly make him a match for Group A's strongest, Guy.

"Yeah, he should be the only fourth-year student who didn't participate in the special training. Last semester, he seemed strong, but now he looks quite ordinary," Ebisu remarked.

Almost all fourth-year students participated in special training. Even if they hadn't witnessed Guy's battles firsthand, they could gauge his strength from his test rankings.

Kamon didn't rush to attack again; he wanted to capitalize on his strong insight to catch Guy off guard.

However, as Kamon attempted to slow the pace, Guy had no intention of wasting time with him.

Suddenly, Kamon sensed Might Guy's speed had become incredibly fast, almost appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!" Guy burst out with Chakra, instantly appearing in front of Kamon and swiftly delivering a kick.

"So fast!" Kamon's mind barely had time to register the thought before he was sent flying with tremendous force.

Although Kamon still harbored the desire to fight, he quickly got up after falling down. However, Guy didn't give him a chance. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Kamon again and delivered a heavy punch.

Already dizzy from the kick, Kamon couldn't react in time and was immediately knocked down again. This time, he couldn't get up quickly. Guy swiftly took out a Kunai and pressed it against his body.

"Guy wins!" declared the proctor.

"As expected, he almost didn't put up any resistance before losing," Shiranui Genma remarked, predicting the outcome of the battle.

"Among the fourth-year students, only Obito probably stands a chance. After all, that guy occasionally manages to defeat Guy," Ebisu said after some thought.

"Why not just ask someone from their class? They've probably fought each other already," Genma glanced around, trying to spot someone familiar from the summer special training.

Genma spotted Rin, who was standing next to Obito, engaged in some conversation.

Feeling a bit embarrassed to approach them directly and ask if Obito had lost, Genma waited until Obito's match began. Unable to contain his curiosity, he approached and reluctantly dragged Ebisu along.

"With just a few dozen students in the grade-level battles, we'll quickly find out about those two. We can just watch it later," Ebisu felt it was pointless.

Ignoring Ebisu's words, Genma greeted Rin as they approached.

"Hey, who won the class battle in your class?" Genma asked, his curiosity evident.

"It was Guy," Rin replied.

"Obito lost? Looks like Guy will take the top spot in the class battles again," Genma concluded, now having the answer he sought.

"The class battle was just yesterday; it's unlikely that someone who lost yesterday would win today.

As time passed and the battles continued, only the final contenders, Uchiha Obito and Might Guy, remained.

This time, luck was on the side of both Guy and Obito; they hadn't faced each other prematurely and had made it to the end.

"Students Might Guy and Uchiha Obito, prepare for the exam!" the proctor announced.

"Obito, go for it, and give it your best!" Rin smiled, cheering Obito on.

Obito returned the smile and nodded, not saying much as he walked onto the battlefield with a serious expression.

Yesterday's defeat left Obito feeling frustrated. He could sense that in terms of strength, he wasn't inferior to Guy, and perhaps even stronger.

After reflecting on the reasons for his failure, Obito realized that he had underestimated Guy, thinking that being ahead in progress would guarantee victory.

In reality, the gap between them wasn't as significant as he had thought.

"Guy, thanks for going all out yesterday, but today will be different," Obito said confidently, his smile restored to his face.

Today, he would never underestimate Guy again, and he would never lose a battle in front of Rin and Mutsuki!

"That's what youth is about, giving it your all in battle!" Guy thumbs up for Obito, sensing Obito's fighting spirit.

"The battle begins!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the proctor's voice fell, Guy's body disappeared from the spot instantly.

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

A passionate shout and an extremely fast Whirlwind Kick came from Obito's side immediately.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Obito didn't dodge; instead, he swiftly countered with his own Whirlwind Kick.

Boom!

The collision of their legs created a powerful force that stirred up a gust of wind, blowing the sand on the ground.

"Using the Breathing Technique right from the start, huh?" Sensing Obito's unusual strength, Guy knew that Obito had already entered the state of Flame Breathing.

Under the force, both of them backed off a bit.

However, this distance was too short for both of them. Obito wrapped his energy around his legs, condensed Chakra on his soles, and instantly appeared in front of Guy, throwing a fierce punch.

Guy raised his arm to block. Feeling the strength in his arm, he showed an excited expression. It was indeed the secret technique he had been practicing for two months without rest. With the Breathing Technique, Obito's Taijutsu could now contend with him.

"I can't hold back either." Guy gathered Chakra in his palms, then clenched his fists and struck, forcing Obito back, his breathing rhythm suddenly changing.

A large amount of oxygen was absorbed into Guy's body, strengthening every cell. He could feel the power surging continuously, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

After using the Breathing Technique, Guy's speed and strength skyrocketed. Just throwing punches and kicks generated gusts of fierce winds.

"How did they become so strong?" Kamon, who was watching the fight, looked bewildered.

He was amazed to discover that Guy, who had defeated him with just one kick and punch, hadn't even used his full power in their fight.

The speed and strength displayed by Guy and Obito in their battle far surpassed their previous performances against him.

He even felt that the current Obito could defeat him with Taijutsu alone, considering that Obito was more proficient in Ninjutsu.

"It's only been less than three months, why did things turn out like this..." Kamon couldn't accept it.

In the previous semester, he had once taken first place in the year, but in this semester, he had fallen behind so much, even with the help of his uncle's training.

"Haven't you noticed? Everyone has gotten much stronger," said Kamon's friend.

"Didn't the school organize a summer special training session supervised by Sensei Yumi during the holidays? The results were particularly good. Sensei Yumi is really strong."

Reflecting on today's grade-level combat, Kamon realized that overall strength had indeed increased. He had faced Shiranui Genma in the first round before and had easily defeated him, but today it had been quite a struggle.

"Why didn't you go, Kamon? I remember everyone seemed to have gone?" Kamon didn't respond to his friend's question. After hearing it, he wondered if it would have been better if he had made the same choice as everyone else.

He had troubled his uncle to spare time to help him, but instead of closing the gap in strength, the disparity between him and Guy and the others had grown even larger.

At this moment, the battle between Guy and Obito had reached a fever pitch. Both of them had activated the Breathing Technique and were giving it their all.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!" With the support of Flame Breathing, Obito's Nature Transformation speed increased even further, and he unleashed a barrage of small fireballs, forcing Guy to almost never stop moving.

After releasing the Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, Obito took a momentary pause, while Guy took the opportunity to charge forward.

"Violent: Konoha's Adamantine-Strength Whirlwind" He condensed a large amount of chakra in his legs, enveloping them in a radiant glow as he unleashed his most powerful kick.

If it were before learning Flame Breathing, Obito would have tried to use Soru to create distance, but now, sorry, but the increased speed from Nature Transformation is really useful.

Obito extended his palm, first enveloping it with chakra, and then rapidly condensing chakra for Nature Transformation.

A large amount of flames erupted from Obito's palm as he swung it towards Guy's leg.

Obito could feel the immense pressure in his palm, but he believed Guy wouldn't have it easy either; his flames were no joke.

Feeling the heat of the flames, Guy's expression changed, quickly shifting to deliver a right fist towards Obito.

Obito immediately used Soru to evade, and Guy did the same to pursue. However, Obito noticed that Guy hesitated for a moment in place.

Though brief, Obito still noticed it because he was too familiar with Guy.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Obito took the opportunity to unleash another Fire Release Ninjutsu, sending a huge fireball over three meters high towards Guy.

Seizing the opportunity while Guy was injured, Obito used the Great Fireball as a feint, then combined it with the Breathing Technique and Soru to push Guy back step by step.

The flames intermittently emitted from Obito's palms and mouth made it difficult for Guy to defend himself. The more he was injured, the more he fell into a disadvantageous position. Although Guy's fighting spirit was strong, his increasingly exhausted body could no longer sustain the battle, and even his breathing became erratic.

"Uchiha Obito wins!" Finally, the proctor announced Obito's victory.

"How did Obito lose yesterday? Isn't this victory impressive?" Shiranui Genma was somewhat puzzled.

He observed the entire battle and rarely saw Obito falling into a disadvantageous position, appearing to be slightly stronger than Guy.

"Who knows, maybe he didn't have information about Guy yesterday?" Ebisu was uncertain, but information was indeed a crucial factor in battles.

"Truly two outstanding students. Uchiha Obito has achieved an extremely high level in both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, while Guy, although not demonstrating Ninjutsu proficiency, has reached a level of Taijutsu that is impossible for an ordinary student." The proctor exclaimed.

The nearby proctors nodded in approval, showing their acknowledgment. The proficiency of the two students had already set them apart from the rest.

Although Might Guy lost, they also felt that his strength was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary student.

"Obito, you finally got first place." Rin smiled, feeling happy for Obito.

Mutsuki, who had been silently watching the battle, also showed a satisfied smile. This time, Obito didn't mess up at a critical moment and displayed his rightful strength to defeat Guy.

And immediately after Obito's victory over Guy, Obito's training mission was settled.
