The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

On his way to the draw site, Yukimura Seiichi passed by Court 16.

He caught a glimpse of the scene before him and then involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

Yukimura Seiichi took two steps forward.

His expertise in watercolor painting allowed him to almost instantly capture several of the most incongruous colors on the field:

There are eight yellow ball marks on the white field markings, and charred black marks on the green wire mesh.

Such precise ball control!

Yukimura Seiichi made a judgment.

They must have been made by the same person, because the depth of these eight most prominent ball marks is about the same!

and,

The fact that the ball left such a deep mark, along with the scorch marks on the wire mesh, shows that this person must have considerable strength!

This kind of strength...

Although he didn't see the match on Court 16, Yukimura Seiichi immediately judged that the game would be a one-sided affair.

Thinking of this, Yukimura Seiichi touched the metal zipper pull on his jacket.

He remembered that the players playing in stadium number 16 were Kamiya You and Sengoku Kiyosumi.

The semifinals draw is about to take place, and if Sanada faces the winner of either of these two in the semifinals, the outcome will be very uncertain.

As Yukimura Seiichi pondered this, he walked toward the tournament center.

As for himself? He wasn't worried at all.

No matter how strong that person is, as long as they cannot break his ability to destroy the five senses, they will surely lose!

And it would be impossible for elementary school students of his age to break his ability to suppress the five senses!

……

quickly,

Event Center

All four quarter-final winners have gathered here.

They are: Court 1, Genichiro Sanada; Court 2, Shinji Akiyama; Court 16, Yo Kamiya; and Court 17, Seiichi Yukimura.

Kamiya You glanced at Akiyama Shinji, who had an ordinary face and nothing particularly special about him, and secretly shook his head.

Tsk, it seems that even without his intervention, Tezuka was still late for the quarterfinals, letting some random nobody win because their opponent forfeited...

However, it's not a big problem.

In any case, according to the original storyline, Tezuka Kunimitsu and others would arrive late after the finals.

In the original timeline, Tezuka would have brutally beaten Sanada Genichiro, who came in second place. But now, it's Tezuka's turn to fleece him. *winks*

Of course, he wouldn't wait on purpose.

So, if we don't see Tezuka after the match, that's fine, we can always try again next time.

He quickly drew a stick from the fortune-telling box.

Kamiya You noticed that the bottom of the fortune stick in his hand was red, just like the one in Sanada Genichiro's hand.

Yukimura Seiichi and Akiyama Shinji each held a blue-bottomed fortune slip.

In other words, the semi-final matchups will be:

He fought with Genichiro Sanada.

Yukimura Seiichi and Akiyama Shinji hit.

The outcome for both is predetermined.

Kamiya You twirled the red token in his hand.

Hmm, not bad.

His luck finally turned around for once.

The opponents for the semi-finals and finals finally matched up to his expectations.

That's perfect, let's have the appetizers first, then the main course.

Thinking of this, Kamiya You smiled slightly and waved to Sanada Genichiro, "See you in the semifinals, Sanada-kun."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the competition center.

He found a secluded shady spot with his maid and bodyguard to rest for a while.

In front of the shade of the tree,

Yuko Fujii quickly took a folding stool out of her bag, unfolded it, and placed it under the tree. "Young master, please have a seat. Would you like me to give you a massage?"

Kamiya You nodded and then sat down on the stool.

Seeing this, Fujii Yuko immediately knelt down behind Kamiya You. She gently massaged Kamiya You's head acupoints with her delicate, white hands.

"Shh~ shh~"

Kamiya You closed his eyes, listening to the rustling of the leaves and enjoying the relaxation of his acupoints.

This is life!

Incidentally, Kamiya You mentally reviewed the gains and losses of the previous match.

……

Time passed like flowing water.

Before I knew it, it was 10:15 a.m.

The broadcast came on at just the right time.

"The following is the semi-final of the National Youth Championship for Elementary School Students: Hard Court #1, Kamiya You vs. Sanada Genichiro; Hard Court #2, Yukimura Seiichi vs. Akiyama Shinji. Please proceed to your respective courts to prepare!"

"The competition will begin at 10:30 AM. Those who do not arrive on time will be considered to have forfeited!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Kamiya You stood up, stretched, and stepped out of the shade of the trees.

Seven minutes later,

The No. 1 hard court came into view.

The spectators are now densely packed together next to the wire fence of the stadium so they can have a better view of the game.

Despite being sweaty from the sun, their enthusiasm remained undiminished as they enthusiastically discussed the upcoming competition.

Kamiya You keenly spotted Sakaki Taro and Sengoku Kiyosumi among them, as well as the unfamiliar yet familiar Shishido Ryo and Mukahi Gakuto.

The audience for this upcoming match has quite a lot of "ice" in them.

As usual, just before the match was about to start, I took the new storage bag and tennis racket bag from Yuko Fujii.

This time, he received enthusiastic cheers as soon as he entered the stadium, especially from the beautiful young girls.

"Kamiya-sama!"

"Kamiya-kun will win!"

Genichiro Sanada, who entered right after him, was completely ignored by the audience.

Watching Kamiya You's figure, Sanada Genichiro pulled down the brim of his black hat with some displeasure.

hateful!

Everyone should be playing away from home, but this guy is acting like this is his home turf...

Moreover, what exactly is this guy's skill that makes Yukimura think he's a very strong opponent who could potentially upset him?!

Although Yukimura said that Kamiya Yo could make ball marks on the court, the last game was on a grass court, where he could also make deep ball marks.

As for his strong ball control... well, he's not weak either.

In any case, so far, he hasn't sensed any imposing aura from Kamiya You at all, far less than the overwhelming sense of pressure that Yukimura exudes even while smiling.

So what exactly makes this guy so strong?!

Kamiya You felt the burning gaze from Sanada Genichiro, but ignored it and simply chose a bench on the left side of the field.

After putting away the clutter, he took out his racket and then walked to the net for the pre-match handshake.

At the moment of shaking hands, Kamiya You felt that Sanada Genichiro used a force beyond the normal range.

Kamiya You raised an eyebrow slightly.

Tsk, playing dirty tricks, huh?

Hmm? No, this guy seems to be just too focused on staring at me.

So, did you subconsciously use the wrong amount of force?

Despite thinking this, Kamiya You still increased his strength.

After all, he's the kind of person who holds grudges and never suffers a loss.

Although that little bit of force didn't actually hurt him (just kidding).

"hiss--"

Genichiro Sanada was suddenly forced out of his world.

No?

What happened?!

Kamiya Yo slowly released his grip after appreciating Sanada Genichiro's contorted expression for a short while.
