He didn't plan to use a weaker element at the expense of the technicians' chakra saturation, did he? The genin didn't even think of using the dōton - he exhaled a ball of fire in Taishi's direction and rolled to the side, saving himself from the stream of lightning from his opponent's open palms. She had to dodge to the side, interrupting the technique in order not to be covered with well-fried, crispy crust. And all this almost silently, without shouting out the names of the techniques.
I shook my head respectfully, a little envious of the quality of training in the really strong clans - I had to work like hell to get to my current level, and if I were at the level of an average Nara my age, I'd be able to play in a box at least a few times, like most of the allies around me. Of course, both fighters did not refuse the opportunity to reinforce the techniques by speaking the names (self-hypnosis and conditioned reflexes have not been canceled yet), but their mentors had obviously hammered into their heads not to yell at the top of their voices every time they used something - it was enough to whisper under his nose, judging by the moving lips. I, on the other hand, had a mind of my own.
After throwing a few kunai at the kunoichi (more as a distraction than in the hope of harming her) as soon as he was on his feet after the roll, Senju used the stone spear technique familiar from previous fights. Only this time the kunoichi was ready and soared into the air at the same time, simultaneously folding seals, as soon as the ground began to form pointed tips.
The dazzling white ball formed between the girl's palms flew downward and upon hitting the surface, spread out in all directions with a ring of lightning, perfectly destroying the small field of spears and allowing the kunoichi to land safely.
Man, what kind of jutsu was that? I want one of those! And why aren't the Uchiha and their sharingan around when you really need the ability to copy this particular dojutsu!?
- Gah!
Takahashi was a bit confused by the spectacular response to the seemingly failsafe technique of the Doton, but he didn't react in time and was hit by the residual charge of the ring, which was starting to lose its power. Takahashi was not injured, but his face creased, and the electric shock was not insignificant.
Almost falling from the convulsive trembling legs, the kid managed to stand and after a couple of moments to take control of the rebellious body, and then decided to prudently move further away from the opponent. The kunoichi wasn't too eager to take advantage of the opportunity, either, as she landed after the jump and tried to regain her breath and recover from using so much chakra at once.
Considering the fact that both genin had less than half of their reserves at the start of the fight, they had spent a fair amount of chakra. A couple more of these techniques would be enough, and then they'd either have to swallow pills or deal with hand-to-hand combat.
For about twenty seconds, the genin rested, watching each other's movements to the roar of the crowd, and then the kunoichi decided to make the first move. With a lightning-fast movement, she drew shurikens from her pouches with both hands and almost simultaneously threw eight lightning stars, and then eight more, trying to cover as much of the area around Senju as possible, but not to the detriment of her marksmanship.
