Far away, Kimura Ono also came over here.
Frowning, he looked at the situation happening here after understanding what had happened.
He scolded Morino.
"Morino, do you really want to duel with Sousuke? Don't forget, you are a Chunin, while Sousuke is just a freshly graduated student!"
Undoubtedly, he was biased towards Sousuke. After all, Sousuke was an excellent student in his eyes, and it would be unfortunate if something happened to him.
Upon hearing his words, Morino's teacher's face turned ugly, gloomy, but she ignored what Kimura said and continued to stare angrily at Sousuke.
"Kimura! Don't try to dissuade me. Since this brat wants to challenge me, I'll teach him the importance of respecting one's teachers and principles! It will also prevent this brat from dying due to arrogance during future missions!"
Morino's teacher's words made Sousuke's expression remain unchanged. His eyes behind the frames were calm and serene.
He gently placed his hand on Kyōka Suigetsu at his waist and spoke softly.
"So, Morino-sensei, are you ready?"
His words instantly infuriated Morino's teacher, and if it weren't for Kimura Ono restraining him, he would almost lose control and attack Sousuke!
This also made Tsunade and the others extremely worried, fearing that Morino's teacher would suddenly attack Sousuke in anger. To be honest, they still couldn't believe that Sousuke could fight against a Chunin!
On the field, on one side was Sousuke, standing straight, calmly looking at Morino's teacher, without any feeling that a fierce battle was about to take place!
On the other side was Morino's teacher, looking at Sousuke with anger! It infuriated him to have his reputation challenged by Sousuke in front of so many students!
He decided that he would give him a profound lesson!
Kimura Ono looked at the two confronting each other with a wry smile. These two were bound to have a battle today!
Helplessly, he could only step aside and silently hope to minimize the harm Sousuke would receive during the fight!
The other students, as well as Tsunade and the others, were all gathered outside the field, staring wide-eyed, carefully watching the upcoming battle between Sousuke and Morino's teacher!
Might Dai, standing in the audience, was currently feeling very distressed and regretful!
He believed it was all his fault.
If it weren't for his words, Sousuke wouldn't have been forced to fight Morino's teacher! It was all his fault!!
In his mind, he recalled the first time he met Sousuke!
The Sousuke who smiled and acknowledged him! The Sousuke who stood there with a smile, telling him to believe in the path of Taijutsu!
These memories made Might Dai feel deeply guilty towards Sousuke!!
Closing his eyes tightly, afraid of shedding tears again, he shouted loudly towards Sousuke in the field!
"I'm sorry!! Sousuke!! From now on!! I will never doubt my ninja way again!! I will definitely become the strongest Taijutsu ninja!!! This is my path of Taijutsu!!!"
The young man with thick eyebrows tightly controlled the muscles on his face, trying hard not to let tears flow. His voice was hoarse and strained!
It resounded throughout the venue!!!
His conviction moved everyone present!
At this moment, no one doubted that this young man could become an outstanding ninja!
On the field, Sousuke heard his words and turned back to him with a smile.
"So, Dai! Watch closely. With enough strength, even if it's just Taijutsu, you can have your own sky."
Having said that, Sousuke slowly placed his hand on Kyōka Suigetsu and closed his eyes.
No one knew why Sousuke did this.
However, Morino's teacher on the opposite side, after hearing what Sousuke said to Might Dai, showed a contemptuous expression.
"An arrogant little brat, how could a kid like you, who hasn't even touched blood, understand what it means to be a ninja... a shinobi..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned by the movements displayed by Sousuke!
Including the people in the audience!
Even Kimura Ono's pupils contracted as he looked in astonishment at where Sousuke stood.
Might Dai stared wide-eyed at the scene, seemingly greatly shocked!! Is this... also caused by taijutsu?!
At this moment, Sousuke still stood there calmly with his eyes closed!
The dust around him trembled and floated, as if it had lost gravity!
A terrifying wave of chakra slowly enveloped Sousuke!
Around him, there was a deep, oppressive silence!! A chilling tranquility!
This was the Zanpakutō he realized during his recent training, and it was his strongest technique apart from Kyōka Suigetsu.
Within the range of his Zanpakutō, he could clearly sense the movement of energy!
And today's battle was a spur-of-the-moment decision to test his current level of strength.
Morino's teacher on the field looked at Sousuke standing there with a very unpleasant expression!
As a Chunin, he was not a fool. Seeing the momentum of Sousuke, he couldn't help but feel chilled. How could he comprehend swordsmanship at such a young age!!
However, his pride as a teacher didn't allow him to retreat in front of so many students.
So, Morino put away his earlier underestimation and looked at Sousuke with great seriousness and caution, as if facing a real enemy!
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Suddenly, three Morinos appeared on the field, rushing towards Sousuke from three different directions.
One of them instantly threw several shurikens!
Sensing the incoming shurikens, Sousuke's waist flashed with a white light!
"Clang!" "Clang!"...
Several shurikens were blocked one after another by Kyōka Suigetsu, creating sparks.
At the same time, the clone Morinos reached Sousuke, engaging in combat.
However, the Sousuke who had trained in the strongest martial arts techniques was not easy to deal with!
Under the encirclement of the three clones, he closed his eyes, yet his expression remained calm. In the midst of the dazzling attacks, he was at ease, wielding Kyōka Suigetsu in one hand, while his other arm, elbow, shoulder, and fist were all deadly weapons!
Various martial arts techniques were vividly displayed in his hands!
In no time, he easily dealt with the three clones!
They turned into a pile of smoke!
All of this seemed to leave Might Dai in disbelief, as if he had witnessed a whole new realm of taijutsu!
His expression showed yearning! So, there's such exquisite taijutsu!
The people in the audience, after seeing Sousuke's superb martial arts skills, couldn't help but let out cheers and applause!
"That guy, Sousuke, actually concealed such strength!"
"He truly deserves to be the genius who defeated Uchiha Shino. He probably didn't even use his full power in their previous battle!"
Tsunade watched Sousuke's graceful and agile movements on the field, and an admiring expression unknowingly appeared in her beautiful eyes, even though she might not have realized it herself
.
"Sousuke... When did he become so powerful?" Jiraiya looked at Sousuke standing on the field in astonishment and said in awe.
Orochimaru, with his snake-like eyes, carefully watched Sousuke on the field.
He has already reached such a level of strength...
And Kimura Ono, after seeing Sousuke easily defeating several of Morino's clone, was also astonished!
"This child!! He actually possesses such talent and strength!"
Just then!
Under Sousuke's feet.
A pair of hands suddenly appeared, grabbing his legs.
"Earth Release: Crushing the Heart Technique!"
Before Sousuke could react, he was deeply dragged into the ground, leaving only his head.
Morino's main body stood on the ground, once again forming hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The raging flames rushed towards Sousuke like a huge canopy!
"No! Sousuke!" Tsunade anxiously shouted.
"Stop! Morino!" Teacher Kimura also shouted, preparing to step onto the field to block this ninjutsu.
Everyone's gaze on the field was filled with concern as they watched this sudden reversal.
"Too slow..."
With a soft whisper, Sousuke suddenly appeared behind Morino, and he thrust Kyōka Suigetsu at him in a reverse grip!
"Splat!"
Thinking the battle was already over, Morino's pupils contracted, and the immense pain that followed rendered him unable to move!
A longsword pierced through his shoulder blade!
...
In the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was also staring blankly at Sousuke, who had a faint smile on his face with closed eyes.
There was silence for a long time...
