The sudden increase in Chakra from the Eight Inner Gates and the powerful physique from Total Concentration Breathing simultaneously caused Guy's aura to surge dramatically.
"No way, was he not giving his all just now?" Beroka looked at the explosive Guy in disbelief.
He thought it was impossible to be stronger, even if he had started training before he was born.
But reality wouldn't change because of Beroka's thoughts. Guy, relying on his extremely fast speed, instantly rushed in front of Beroka and threw a fierce punch.
Beroka couldn't react at all. He only saw Guy move slightly, and in the next instant, he was right in front of him.
Bang!
Under Guy's powerful punch, Beroka was instantly sent flying backward.
"Why is he so fast and so strong?" The question arose uncontrollably in Beroka's mind as he was sent flying.
He practiced the body-strengthening Lightning Release NinTaijutsu and was naturally robust as a Land of Lightning native, yet he was utterly overwhelmed in physical strength by a child not even ten years old. He couldn't understand why.
"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"
Guy didn't give Beroka more time to question his life. After sending him flying with a punch, Guy erupted with strength again, leaping swiftly and delivering a Whirlwind Kick toward Beroka.
Boom!!
The immense force struck Beroka, his eyes widened dramatically, pupils dilating to the extreme. He flew out like a cannonball, smashing through one large tree after another, and passed out immediately.
"Successfully resolved!" Guy couldn't help but laugh and give himself a thumbs-up.
As Guy quickly defeated his opponent, Obito also unleashed his full power.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Obito quickly formed hand seals and spat out a giant fireball over three meters tall, hurling it towards Haruo.
"To be able to use such a Fire Release at this age, did I encounter some kind of genius team?" Haruo was quite surprised as he watched the incoming giant fireball.
First, Beroka was kicked away by that kid in green tights, and now this silly-looking kid with goggles was using a powerful Fire Release. Haruo felt things were not looking good.
The Great Fireball's speed wasn't very fast, so Haruo didn't plan to take it head-on. He immediately used the Body Flicker Jutsu to dodge.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
After using the Fire Release, Obito quickly threw a large number of shurikens to block one of Haruo's retreat paths.
Seeing the incoming shurikens, Haruo didn't hesitate and changed direction immediately.
The fireball hit the ground, leaving a charred pit, but Haruo didn't have time to worry about the aftermath of the Fire Release because Obito was charging at him.
"Flame Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!" Obito directly unleashed the power of the Breathing Technique and rushed forward.
Seeing Obito, a Ninjutsu-type ninja, daring to charge at him, Haruo was instantly overjoyed. At this age, having already mastered Fire Release to such an extent, his Taijutsu couldn't possibly be strong as well.
Smack! Bam!
The two engaged in an intense Taijutsu battle, their punches landing on each other.
However, to Haruo's surprise, Obito's strength and speed were not inferior to those of an adult ninja like him.
In fact, because Obito had the initiative, he was actually suppressing Haruo.
"This opponent seems a bit weak," Obito muttered to himself.
He thought his Ninjutsu was okay and his Taijutsu was just average. He charged in to find an opportunity to use Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson for a sneak attack, but ended up suppressing his opponent, leaving him confused.
Obito was genuinely not used to this. During training battles, he was usually the one losing in Taijutsu exchanges.
Haruo, hearing Obito's words, couldn't hold it in any longer. Being mocked as weak right to his face, especially by a child under ten, was too much.
"Damn brat, let me show you the true strength of Hidden Cloud Ninjas!" Enraged, Haruo no longer cared about the Chakra consumption and directly used various Lightning Release NinTaijutsu techniques.
Lightning Release NinTaijutsu consumes a lot of Chakra because Hidden Cloud's techniques typically require activating the body. This means that while gathering lightning externally, it also consumes Chakra internally.
Of course, high consumption also means high output; Lightning Release NinTaijutsu is exceptionally destructive.
Even with Haruo using Lightning Release NinTaijutsu, in Obito's eyes, he was still no match for Guy with Stone Breathing and Eight Inner Gates.
Easily using Soru to dodge Haruo's attacks, Obito seized an opening and quickly performed One Handed Seals with his left hand behind his back, throwing four flame-wreathed kunai.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!"
The kunai, enveloped in orange flames, swiftly pierced through the air and reached Haruo.
"How is this possible? He didn't form any seals!" Haruo, unable to dodge in time, was shocked. He hadn't seen Obito form seals, yet Obito used such an advanced Fire Release.
Boom!!
A violent explosion resounded, and intense flames engulfed Haruo. When the flames and smoke cleared, Obito stepped forward to check the situation and found Haruo dead.
Four kunai were embedded in Haruo's chest, and his body was severely burned. Although lifeless, Haruo's eyes remained open, reflecting a look of shock.
"This technique finally came in handy," Obito couldn't help but remark.
Practicing the One Handed Seals for Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson had taken Obito a lot of effort, but in training battles, it rarely proved useful, only marginally better than the Great Fireball for controlling positioning.
Having dealt with his opponent, Obito noticed that Guy had also defeated his enemy. Only the foe facing Kakashi was still engaged in a fierce battle.
Kakashi's swordsmanship was sharp, but his opponent, Iraka, wielded impressive Lightning Release Kenjutsu. Blue lightning covered Iraka's sword, and each strike was powerful, forcing Kakashi to avoid direct confrontation and putting him at a disadvantage for the moment.
"Kakashi, you're really slow. Guy and I have already finished," Obito said with a cheeky grin, his body tensed and ready to jump in and help Kakashi at any moment.
"Cut the crap and get over here to help. This guy is pretty strong," Kakashi quickly said while dodging.
Kakashi didn't have any intention of handling it alone. If they could gang up safely and solve the problem, why insist on a solo fight?
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
Guy instantly charged from the side, delivering a Whirlwind Kick that forced Iraka to halt his attack and dodge.
"Are they all geniuses? What bad luck," Iraka thought to himself, feeling unlucky.
He didn't blame his teammates for being weak; he considered Kakashi and the others to be too strong.
He knew his own teammates well—they were all experienced Chunin. Yet, they had been dealt with so swiftly.
"At least I need to take one down with me!" Iraka thought fiercely. Escaping was difficult, but even if he died, he intended to drag one of them down with him. Taking down a Konoha genius would be worth it; injuring another would be a bonus.
