"Second match, Uchiha Seimei, wins!"
Hearing the examiner's words, Seimei put down the kunai in his hand, took two steps back, and after slightly increasing the distance, turned and walked towards the stairs.
During this time, he didn't say a word, highlighting two words - aloofness.
This wasn't Seimei deliberately pretending, but this attitude could effectively keep those who wanted to get close to him at bay.
In this way, he could focus on his own affairs.
After Seimei walked into the stairs, the crowd in the field seemed to react, whispering and muttering.
Even without listening carefully, Seimei could hear some exclamations like "How is he so strong?" and "That was too fast."
Indeed, this battle ended too quickly.
From the moment the two confronted each other to Takakura Shota's surrender, it took less than two minutes, and the actual fighting time was only a dozen seconds.
This was simply inconceivable for these examinees whose understanding was still at the Genin to Chunin stage.
But for the Jonin who were watching the battle, the situation was relatively clear.
Although this battle seemed to last for a very short time, and Seimei won very easily, what it showed was a complete碾压 in combat experience and skills.
In this way, supplemented by proficient Sharingan usage techniques, it was not surprising to end the battle instantly.
Even so, some Jonin were still surprised by Seimei's strength.
Among them was Uchiha Haruto.
At this time, he realized that he and some of the clan's higher-ups had focused too much attention on Uchiha Shisui in the past period and had neglected this genius, Uchiha Seimei.
Admittedly, Uchiha Seimei's potential might not be as good as Uchiha Shisui's, but it was definitely better than most Uchiha ninjas.
'It seems that after this, I need to let the Great Elder pay more attention to this Uchiha Seimei.'
Uchiha Haruto thought to himself.
...
At the same time, the third match had already begun.
This time, two female examinees came up, one of whom Seimei also knew. It was Aoki Akiko from Nara Seibei's team, whom he had kicked away earlier.
Her strength might not be worth mentioning in front of him, but compared to her current opponent, she still had some commendable points.
At least, in terms of taijutsu, her ability was slightly stronger than her opponent's.
And in the end, she narrowly defeated her opponent relying on this point.
"Third match, Aoki Akiko, wins!"
The examiner's voice sounded at the right time.
"Akiko, well done!"
Sato Masaru's cheers from the corridor on the second floor followed closely.
After the two left the field, the examiner immediately drew the candidates for the fourth match.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit, and the matches continued one after another.
It wasn't until the penultimate match that Uchiha Shisui's name was called.
And his opponent was Nara Seibei, who had interacted with Seimei before.
Coming to the field and looking at Uchiha Shisui with double tomoe Sharingan in front of him, Nara Seibei felt speechless.
What sin had he committed? He had just encountered Uchiha Seimei in the second exam, and now he had encountered Uchiha Shisui again.
Although it was inevitable to encounter these two if he wanted to compete for a good ranking, but...
'Why in the first round?'
This didn't even give him a chance to prepare. The Nara clan's smart brains needed intelligence support to function.
Otherwise, no matter how smart the brain was, it would be useless without information.
Just like now, facing Uchiha Shisui, apart from knowing that the other party had the same Sharingan as Uchiha Seimei, he didn't know any other information.
Oh, right, the other party also carried a sword, so he might be good at kenjutsu.
But what was the use of just knowing this? Combat experience, combat skills, attack habits, etc., all of these were unknown. How could he win?
'Sigh, I can only take it one step at a time now...'
Nara Seibei felt melancholic in his heart, and the battle had already begun.
On the corridor on the second floor.
Seimei watched their battle with a flicker in his eyes.
Nara Seibei relied entirely on his brain to fight. Although he didn't know much about Uchiha Shisui, his ability to adapt was very strong.
With his inherited 'Shadow Imitation Technique' and decent close combat skills, he unexpectedly didn't fall behind for a while.
Unfortunately, that was all.
Once Uchiha Shisui got serious, Nara Seibei probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
That's right, Seimei had already seen that from the beginning of the battle until now, Uchiha Shisui hadn't used his full strength at all.
At the very least, he hadn't used Sharingan genjutsu or ninjutsu, and he had been fighting with kenjutsu the entire time.
This wasn't to say that Uchiha Shisui was deliberately holding back. He was just testing Nara Seibei's limits.
Once he confirmed this, defeating the opponent would only take an instant.
Just like how he dealt with Takakura Shota not long ago.
The difference was that Takakura Shota's strength could be seen through at a glance and didn't need to be tested.
But Nara Seibei was different. He had to be tested.
If he rushed in without considering anything, it was very likely that he would steal the chicken but end up losing the rice.
Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui was still cautious.
However, Seimei estimated that the other party was about to launch a real attack.
As for the reason...
It was simple. Nara Seibei's strength had basically been figured out. Continuing further was not only a waste of time but also might lead to unexpected changes.
After all, the Nara clan ninjas' brains were quite good. If he was given more time, maybe he could really find some way to win.
Therefore, it was better to end the battle quickly.
Sure enough, things developed almost as Seimei expected. Not long after, Uchiha Shisui showed his true strength.
Sharingan genjutsu and ninjutsu were used together.
In an instant, Nara Seibei was forced into a desperate situation and finally surrendered with Uchiha Shisui's sword against his throat.
Seeing this scene, Seimei murmured, "Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu, the level is probably around the early stage of lv3."
That's right, what Uchiha Shisui used was the inherited 'Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu' of the Uchiha clan.
And from his battle with Nara Seibei, Seimei had already deduced his level - lv3, a whole level lower than his 'Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu'.
And he also had the 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' with even higher proficiency.
With the two working together, in close combat, there was absolutely no problem in surpassing Uchiha Shisui.
As for long-range attacks, Seimei recalled the Fire Release ninjutsu the opponent used just now. If that was his true level, then it wasn't a big problem either.
The only thing worth being vigilant about was what the opponent's genjutsu level was. Were there any differences between them, both having double tomoe Sharingan?
This wasn't to say that Seimei had to consider Uchiha Shisui as a hypothetical opponent, but after watching this round of matches, he believed that only the two of them could make it to the end.
Therefore, a fight was inevitable.
And just as Seimei was observing Uchiha Shisui, the other party also seemed to sense something and looked over. Their gazes met in the air, and both saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
After traveling to this world for eight or nine months, he had been working hard to cultivate.
Now that he had finally encountered a well-known figure from his memory among his peers, and could even have a legitimate fight.
Even Seimei couldn't help but have the desire to compare.
Not for anything else, but just to prove that his efforts had not been in vain.
That's why Seimei had such high fighting spirit.
