A medium-sized arena was set up on the Uzuki family's training ground.
It seemed that this competition would be different from ordinary ones.
Stepping onto the ring and looking at the people watching him below, Kazuki saw Uzuki Yūgao.
Yūgao smiled at him and signaled him not to be nervous.
Kazuki smiled back and told her not to worry.
"That guy is laughing with Sister Yūgao!"
"Damn you, bastard, you dare to smile at our sister Yūgao before you are engaged. What will you do if you are engaged?"
"Do what?"
"It's just… why do you ask so much?"
Kazuki ignored the noisy crowd and slowly said, "I believe everyone knows me. Yes, I am Gekko Kazuki. Today, I am taking away Gekko Yūgao, the flower of your clan, from your clan!"
When she heard about the flower of a clan, Uzuki Yūgao blushed unconsciously.
The originally noisy crowd also fell silent, and then a group of die-hard Yūgao fans roared angrily.
"You want to take our sister Yūgao away? What the hell, brat, wait for me to come up and kill you!"
"Oh no, I can't stand it anymore. This kid is too arrogant! I will be the first to go up and fight him later, no one can compete with me!"
"But… I don't know why I think he's so handsome~"
"Yes, yes, so arrogant and handsome!"
"Hey, can the girls agree with us and be honest with the outside world? This guy wants to steal our goddess!"
The girl rolled her eyes, "Even if there's no one here, Kazuki, you still don't have a chance!"
The inexplicable denunciation of Kazuki turned into a fight for dignity.
Kazuki could also hear the noise below and felt a little silent.
The people of the Uzuki clan don't feel very smart!
"Quiet!"
Patriarch Uzuki shouted angrily, silencing the scene.
"What's the point of arguing in front of outsiders? If you have the ability, knock people down in the ring; what kind of ninja are you talking about with your ability?"
"We were wrong, patriarch."
Everyone lowered their heads to admit their mistake, except Yūgao, who held her head high and looked at Kazuki, who was shining brightly in the ring.
Patriarch Uzuki followed Yūgao's eyes and saw Kazuki's calm expression. The breeze blew through his clothes and long hair, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Compared with his people, they are like heaven and earth!
"Huh! What a bunch of unsatisfactory things!"
Being embarrassed in front of outsiders, Patriarch Uzuki had no good temper towards his clan members.
Fortunately, he laughed again when he thought that Kazuki, a talented person on stage, might be his family's son-in-law in the future.
"This competition is a defense mode. The defender is Gekko Kazuki, and the challengers are all the youths under the age of 30 from the Uzuki clan. It lasts until sunset. If no one defeats Gekko Kazuki, or knocks Gekko Kazuki out of the ring, this assessment will be Gekko Kazuki's victory.
On the contrary, if Gekko Kazuki persists until sunset, Gekko Kazuki wins!"
"Have you understood?"
"Clear!!!"
"Okay, let's not waste time. The confident young men from our Uzuki clan can step up."
"I come!"
As soon as Patriarch Uzuki finished speaking, a muscular man with a naked upper body walked up.
"My name is Uzuki Diran, and I am Yūgao's eldest cousin. You were very arrogant just now. But it's not that easy for you to take away a flower from our Uzuki clan!"
"Hello, cousin." Kazuki greeted with a smile, as if he was harmless to humans and animals.
His attitude was arrogant just a moment ago, but he looked like a little sheep the next moment, which made the eldest cousin stunned for a moment.
Then he got angry again, "Boy, it's too late to get friendly now, and I'm not your older cousin. Watch your moves! Exploding Mountain Fist!"
Uzuki Diran erupted with terrifying energy and rushed towards Kazuki at extremely fast speeds.
Kazuki was very surprised. In this family that mainly focused on swordsmanship, there was actually pure physical training.
However, Uzuki Diran's physical skills were far inferior to those of Might Guy not even close to his level.
"Too slow."
Kazuki said calmly, and then slowly stretched out a hand, as if predicting the future, blocking the erupting Uzuki Diran.
The chakra soaring into the sky was instantly extinguished!
"You actually blocked me with one hand. How… is this possible?"
Uzuki Diran looked stunned.
"I became a Chuunin by virtue of my taijutsu, and my taijutsu is no worse than a Jounin's.
But Kazuki actually blocked me with one hand...
Is this the power of a Genin?"
Other tribesmen also looked shocked.
"Diran, didn't you have breakfast today? How could such a big man be blocked by a kid?"
"Diran, if it doesn't work, you should come down and let us do it. Our Uzuki clan is still a swordsmanship family after all!"
"I just said that taijutsu ninjas are not good. What kind of ninja is a ninja who only knows taijutsu? Even if he becomes a Chuunin, he is not as good as a newly graduated Genin."
…
…
"Cousin, do you have any other moves? Use them all; we won't have a chance later."
Kazuki smiled faintly and let go of Uzuki Diran's hand, with a relaxed and contented look on his face.
Uzuki Diran was already very angry when he heard the cynicism of his tribe and became even more furious when he heard Kazuki's provocation against him.
"Stop looking down on others; now let me show you the secret of ultimate physical skills that I have practiced for twenty-eight years in Uzuki Diran!"
"The secret of ultimate physical skills?"
Everyone was doubtful,
Kazuki was also a little curious.
Are there any masters among Taijutsu ninjas in Konoha?
He saw Uzuki Diran starting to assume numerous postures to show off his muscles, and while flexing his muscles, his body's chakra exploded.
He kept shouting about the secret of the mountain.
Kazuki could tell that every time he made a move, his chakra would surge.
And the signs of a strong man gradually appeared on his body.
The soaring red chakra, the standing hair, and the prominent veins!
It seemed that Uzuki Diran had undergone a transformation and become an ultimate powerhouse.
But in fact, his strength had not improved much.
Kazuki felt that Uzuki Diran's chakra had only increased by about 20% compared to before.
The momentum was even more intimidating, but the power was hard to describe.
There were not many people at the scene who saw it like this, and many Uzuki people cheered when they saw the explosion from Uzuki Himan.
"That's it, Uzuki Diran, use your big body to beat this little boy!"
"You still want to come to our family to rob someone? Then let's take a look at the ultimate physical master of our Uzuki clan!"
…
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Boy, I have raised my body to its strongest state. Even a Jounin would not dare to take a punch from me. I advise you to admit defeat, lest you be beaten to death by me!"
With the support of the tribesmen, Uzuki Diran became arrogant.
But a weak person is a weak person after all and will not change because of his attitude.
Kazuki calmly stretched out a finger, hooked it, and said: "Come on, beat me to death."
