The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 162 Obito's Answer

Seeing Hinata Yoko being knocked into the sky by Obito, the spectators around couldn't help but hold their breath, with a look of worry on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Yoko suddenly adjusted her body in the air and landed gracefully in a corner of the ring like a flying bird.

Moreover, she seemed to be unharmed, even her hair was not messy, which immediately aroused cheers from the audience.

Elegant, so elegant!
However, what everyone didn't know was that as soon as Yoko landed, she clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

Because except for her face and hair, which she protected tightly, her whole body was hit hard by Obito's punches, so it was impossible for her to be unscathed.

As a child of the ninja clan, she naturally would not blame Obito for not being gentlemanly. Instead, she couldn't help but laugh at him:

"Obito, you are still too naive. Being soft-hearted will let victory slip through your fingers..."

The reason why she said that was because with Obito's current strength, if he hadn't shown mercy, she would not have been able to still stand.

Obito began to walk towards Yoko, and as usual, he said in a deep voice, ruthless and taciturn:

"Give up, you only have three seconds left to lose..."

Hideki laughed secretly on the side.

Because he knew very well that Obito had not changed his personality, and he was probably full of boasting words.

It's a pity that this super breathing mode not only requires Obito to spend a lot of energy to maintain, but also consumes chakra like water, leaving Obito no time to stop and chat.

So once he entered this state, he could only keep all his words to himself and transform himself into a concise and to the point macho man of the end of the century...

Hinata Yoko was very angry at Obito's remarks which treated her as nothing.

You know, she usually said these words to her opponents, but she never expected that there would be a day when she would experience them herself...

Although she wanted to retort, Yoko couldn't find any words to refute.

Her most proud techniques of turning the tide and acupoint pressing had been cracked, and she had to admit the fact that she had been completely defeated.

Perhaps admitting defeat graciously as Obito said would be the easiest and most honorable choice.

However, at this moment, Yoko couldn't help but recall what Nohara Lin said yesterday when she was forced into a desperate situation, and a bitter arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"The person you really need to defeat is not your opponent, but yourself..."

Only now did she realize how much courage and awareness it took to sincerely say such words in a situation where she was bound to lose.

As expected, Nohara Rin is different from ordinary people and is a very interesting person to observe.

Although Yoko still couldn't fully understand Lin's choice.

But she had always considered herself a genius of the ninja clan, and she was really unwilling to lose to a civilian student in this regard.

And she was also vaguely aware that if she retreated here, she would lose the qualification to observe Nohara Lin...

So facing Obito who was walking towards her step by step with overflowing chakra, Yoko still smiled and took a stance.

"I really don't want to admit it, but I am indeed no match for you right now."

"But as the head of the Hyuga clan, the word 'surrender' does not exist in my dictionary."

"So be thankful, Obito. I will be merciful and play with you for a while longer!"

After that, Yoko even took the initiative to rush towards Obito...

……

Of course, just as Lin was unable to defeat Yoko yesterday, Yoko’s resistance failed to bring about a miracle, and she was quickly defeated.

However, until the end, she did not lose the elegance of her noble family origin. At least she was able to fight back and forth with Obito and did not seem to be at a disadvantage.

Only a few people could see that Yoko was only launching an attack symbolically, and her real focus was on defense.

Moreover, she was trying to temporarily resist Obito's attack by releasing a large amount of chakra at the cost of blood, but it was impossible for her to last long.

When Obito finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to take ruthless action, Yoko had just used up all her chakra, and then she gracefully jumped out of the ring, ending the match elegantly.

This made Obito very angry for wasting more chakra:
"Didn't you say you wouldn't admit defeat?" "Oh hoo hoo..."

Yoko took out the folding fan again, opened it, covered her lips and smiled,
"I didn't admit defeat, I just accidentally jumped out of the ring."

"Sure enough, this kind of competition with limited rules is really boring."

"Since you care so much, Obito, I'll leave the victory to you this time."

"Sooner or later I will get it back with interest!"

“Ohhhhhhhhhhh…”

Seeing this, Hideki shook his head helplessly, and then announced through the loudspeaker:
"The victory is decided!"

"The winner is Uchiha Obito!"

Clap clap clap clap!
The audience around gave warm applause.

Although the ending was a bit sudden, this battle with constant twists and turns still received unanimous praise from everyone.

It's really hard to imagine that this is a battle between ninja school students.

Hinata Yoko was greeting the audience politely.

Obito had just released his super breathing mode, and while he was gasping for breath, his face was distorted with pain over the wasted chakra.

At first glance it's easy to mistake who's winning and who's losing.

"Then the second match will be held in ten minutes. Please take a break."

Hideki announced before leading Obito and Yoko back to the players' lounge area.

Along the way, Obito had a lot of things to say, but he missed the opportunity and felt there was no point in saying them.

There were only a few words he felt he had to say:

"Yoko, I already have the answer to your question yesterday..."

After all, Yoko, who was a little frustrated, raised her eyes and looked at Obito when she heard this.

"I admit that a laggard cannot defeat a genius just by hard work."

"What can truly change this fate is knowledge, or the correct way to become stronger."

Obito scratched his head and said,
"I don't really understand the big principles and preaching."

"But I guess, before the Sage of Six Paths taught everyone the true meaning of chakra, even the most powerful ninja geniuses were probably not much different from ordinary people."

"And the seals are also..."

"I don't know who invented the hand seal, but before that, probably only the most powerful guys could use chakra without hand seals."

"If there is a genius who is good at hand seal ninjutsu, he will be buried."

"So I think there is no such thing as a genius, or everyone is a genius."

"The so-called tail-ender is just someone who hasn't found a way to become stronger that's right for him."

“In fact, I am a good example.”

Obito looked at the back of Teacher Hideki who was walking in front of him with grateful eyes and said:
"No matter how hard I tried, I didn't make much progress, so I was called the last one."

"But ever since I accepted the teacher's instruction and learned the breathing method, my strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Now I can even defeat a genius like you with ease."

"The word 'easy' is redundant."

Yoko's folding fan quickly stabbed Obito on the acupoints that had been hit before, causing him to grimace in pain.

Then Yoko opened her folding fan to hide her smile and the surprise that she could hardly suppress in her eyes.

Because what Obito just said was a challenge to the three views she had formed over the years!
