Chereads / Time Emperor Champion / Chapter 381 - Chapter 375: Preliminaries Begin

Chapter 381 - Chapter 375: Preliminaries Begin

For some reason, Yuki's laughter sent a chill down the Genin's spines.

"Wait... a tournament?"

"Are you deaf or what? I made it very clear; it's a tournament. Now, if anyone doesn't want to participate, this is their moment to withdraw. The rest, move your butts and wait to be called."

"Now?! Won't we rest?"

"Immediately... Now! If you feel this is too much for you, it's better to leave! In a real mission, the enemy doesn't ask if you've rested or not; they simply kill you."

Applauding, Yuki didn't wait for these Genin to fully grasp his words; he simply ushered them out of the combat arena. Yuki wanted to finish this quickly and join his two little girlfriends, Ino and Hinata. They must have had a tough time, and this was his moment to shine while being with them.

The Jonin also followed their students, leaving only Ibiki and Anko as examiners.

"I'm withdrawing..."

In the midst of all the confusion, a Genin raised his hand and left the exam; it was Kabuto.

"Kabuto?! Hey, what's wrong? Why are you quitting?"

Naruto was surprised; Kabuto, the ninja who had helped them, was leaving as if a friend. Naruto didn't want him to abandon them halfway.

"You two, quickly get your butts out of the arena before I do it for you."

Unfortunately, Yuki didn't give the duo time to speak; this made Kabuto smile weakly, and he could only wish Naruto good luck.

Naruto was somewhat annoyed, but seeing Yuki made his dissatisfaction disappear. He didn't want to be the victim of this infernal training. Without complaining, he obeyed.

(Damn, I knew it... This won't be easy.)

Clamping his teeth, Sasuke tightly gripped his shoulder. The cursed mark was hurting him, and he had enough with this pain. Having his older brother as the Sensor in this exam was the worst thing that could happen.

(No matter what, I can't let Aniki find out.)

Suppressing his pain, Sasuke awaited his turn. Whatever happens, he wouldn't let Yuki know about his encounter with Orochimaru. Yuki had done enough by feeding and taking care of them over the years. At the same time, Kakashi narrowed his eyes, looking directly at Sasuke's shoulder.

(Sasuke...)

Sakura was worried, but there was nothing she could do. Sasuke wouldn't give up because of this, especially with his older brother watching him. Her persuasion would have the opposite effect.

"Now, let me explain a few rules before we start. These preliminaries are one-on-one, and it only ends when you knock out your opponent, they surrender, or you kill them. I would appreciate it if you give it your all. I'm an incredible medical ninja, so if you get injured, I'll heal you, and you'll be good as new. Of course, don't push yourselves if you can't. I wouldn't want to clean up your messes. Hehehe."

Waving his hand, Yuki continued, but his laughter only brought more nervousness to the Genin. For some strange reason, they felt that this Sensor was a sadist, who would heal them only if they had broken bones or were on the brink of death.

And their suspicions were correct because Yuki had no intention of intervening or healing unless absolutely necessary.

"And lady participants, don't worry; I'll be watching over you."

Winking under his mask, Yuki looked at the kunoichis.

They were all very pretty, and it would be a shame if any of them died.

"Thanks, Yuki~"

The kunoichis, on the other hand, didn't know what to say about this guy. Only Ino and Hinata got excited, with Ino waving and blowing kisses.

"Now, the first opponents, come here. I don't want to waste any more time."

Fate doesn't smile at anyone; the first encounter was quickly chosen, with Sasuke being the first to fight.

(Hmm... I couldn't ask for anything better. I just hope Aniki doesn't suspect anything.)

With a smile and his head held high, Sasuke entered the arena, and Yuki attended, crossing his arms.

"Ready? Start!"

With the start of the battle, Sasuke lunged forward.

(Whatever happens, I must not let Aniki see this curse.)

Enduring this pain, Sasuke looked at his opponent, one of Kabuto's team members.

However, Sasuke wasn't worried about his opponent; he was more concerned about Yuki discovering it. If Kakashi's warning was correct, he had to use the minimum chakra possible in this battle.

Besides acting normally and winning, he couldn't disappoint his older brother and couldn't worry him either.

(Interesting, trying to endure and control the cursed mark.)

Squinting his eyes, Orochimaru was increasingly pleased with Sasuke. He was strong, and his potential was one of the best. Even though it hadn't been that long, Sasuke was already trying to manipulate his cursed mark.

(However, the real monster is another.)

Turning his gaze to Yuki, who stood with crossed arms, seemingly trying not to fall asleep, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips. Surely, Yuki had already noticed the cursed mark on Sasuke, and it was possible that he would visit him later.

"My, my, what do we have here?"

"Nothing important! Aniki, you can continue with the next match..."

Without waiting for Yuki to approach, Sasuke walked as fast as he could towards Kakashi, who, in response, escorted him.

"Alright, the next ones come down now."

---

"So, that's Sasuke's older brother and Ino's boyfriend?"

"That's right, the youngest Jonin in Konoha currently."

As the second match continued, Choji and Shikamaru conversed, both somewhat annoyed with Ino, who couldn't stop raising her hands and blowing kisses at the Jonin.

"I knew it; this is so boring..."

"Shut up, Shikamaru. You're just jealous."

Responding to Shikamaru's sighs, Ino placed her hands on her hips. She couldn't allow these two idiots to speak ill of her boyfriend.

Asuma, seeing his students, shook his head. Yuki always had a serious problem with women, and thinking about his lovely Kurenai, he also sighed internally, agreeing with Shikamaru. Unfortunately, he couldn't say it out loud, or Kurenai might also reprimand him like Ino did to Shikamaru.

Time passed slowly, and each match was exciting, especially the one between Hinata and Neji, both Hyuga clan members with their special gentle fist technique.

It was wonderful to be able to use their chakra to block the opponent's chakra flow.

But since they both belonged to the same clan and had a good relationship due to Yuki, they ended up without injuries, with Neji winning the match.

After a few moments, it was Naruto's turn, who also won his match.

"Yes, I'm against Forehead-brat! I can't lose. Yuki, my love~"

Jumping with excitement, Ino descended the stairs, while Sakura had a blank look.

"Oh great, I'm against Pig-girl this time."

This time, Yuki enjoyed the match. Two cute girls fighting was a feast for the eyes.

However, the match ended in a draw.

With no other choice and offering a service to the population, Yuki healed both and sent them back cured to their masters.

[You're a pervert!]

Although he fooled many eyes, he couldn't fool Eggy, who clearly saw how Yuki used his claws and took advantage of the situation.

"If you don't take advantage of small opportunities, you're not taking advantage of anything."

But facing Eggy's accusation, Yuki just shrugged.

Yuki wasn't doing anything perverted; he was just doing his duty. However, as expected, Eggy didn't buy his crap.

Then came the fight between Tenten and Temari, another match between kunoichis.

Yuki didn't dare to be negligent; this was another good match for the eyes, and he regretted a bit. Kunoichis weren't like Eggy, who wore nothing under her skirt; they wore half mail, and all kinds of protection to avoid being hit in sensitive areas, making espionage impossible.

But this didn't diminish their appeal; it was beautiful, and it didn't lack charm when these young women wore it.

And as such, Kunoichis are too precocious since they develop faster than an average person.

The match was interesting but ended with Temari's victory; Tenten couldn't counter Temari's wind ninjutsu.

And like Guy's student, Yuki also healed her wounds and sent her back.
