The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

"That was amazing!"

"This round of fire magic clashes was really exciting. I never expected to see a national-level battle in the semifinals. It's a pity that Genichiro Sanada is still slightly inferior."

Are you sure it was a slight victory and not a complete rout?

Ryo Shishido repeatedly lamented, "How could this happen?! How could this happen?! Sanada-kun…"

Sengoku Kiyosumi's eyes lit up, "As expected of Kamiya-kun! The best!"

Mukahi Gakuto didn't offer any opinion, but kept glancing at Sanada Genichiro and then at Kamiya Yo.

These two people are so competitive!

It seems I can't let my guard down. I must strive to become stronger in the future!

It's decided, I'll practice extra tonight!

Meanwhile, inside the stadium,

Genichiro Sanada rubbed his slightly trembling wrist, looking at his empty right hand and the racket that had fallen again in the distance, this time covered in burn marks.

He remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand to signal the referee. After some further communication, he received a spare racket provided by the organizers from the referee.

Although he noticed the racket's tension was a bit low as soon as he got it, there was nothing he could do about it.

Genichiro Sanada sighed, lamenting that the two rackets he brought were becoming increasingly worn out.

All I can say for now is that I need to get used to it.

but……

Genichiro Sanada gripped his racket tightly, staring at Yo Kamiya, a player he couldn't see a single flaw in so far. In truth, he knew very well that it would be very difficult for him to win this game.

Because the difference is just too great.

After all, he only has two ultimate moves, and after using them both, he hasn't even scored a single point!

Moreover, what nearly shattered his resolve was that Kamiya You not only knew fire-related techniques, but his technique was even stronger...

Genichiro Sanada felt a sense of absurd powerlessness, but even at this point, he never once considered giving up.

After all, he's Sanada! How could he just admit defeat during a match?!

Besides, he had promised to settle things with Yukimura in the finals. How could he give up so easily and fall here so easily?!

Even if they really have to give up, it will be out of sheer desperation after exhausting all their resources and supplies.

The flame of fighting spirit reignited in Genichiro Sanada's eyes. He rallied and continued serving, "As swift as the wind!"

At the very least, we must get at least one point from this guy!

As Kamiya You looked at Sanada Genichiro's bright eyes and the tennis ball soaring again, he thought to himself:

Not bad at all.

Quite resilient.

Moreover, Kamiya You's lips curled up slightly; the experiment just now was a great success.

The experiment revealed that the tennis techniques from Naruto and the fantastical tennis from Prince of Tennis are evenly matched; it's purely a matter of the strength of the moves.

That is, either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind.

That would be perfect.

However, on the other hand, Sanada probably only has "Wind" and "Fire" moves left now, right?

After all, he didn't use "Leaving the Forest" when he caught the spinning ball before, nor did he use "Leaving the Mountain" when he caught the fire.

As for Lightning and Yin, these two are even stronger, so it's difficult for Genichiro Sanada to develop his abilities now.

Well,

Kamiya You hesitated for a second between ending the game and continuing to play, and then chose the latter.

After all, Sengoku had already unleashed his full potential, so Sanada couldn't possibly be worse than Sengoku, could he?

Let's see if we can force Sanada to reveal his true colors!

With this thought in mind, Kamiya Yoto reduced the power of this Fireball Technique by another 30%, making it only 10% stronger than Sanada Genichiro's Invasive Fiery Technique.

Genichiro Sanada was completely unaware that Yo Kamiya had deliberately held back; he only noticed that the fireball Yo Kamiya fired had become much less powerful.

He immediately guessed in his mind,

Even Kamiya Yo couldn't support that level of power with his ultimate move.

That makes sense, after all, Kamiya Youya is just an elementary school student like him, and using super-powerful ultimate moves is very tiring.

As for the fireball's intensity, Sanada Genichiro felt he could handle it!

Genichiro Sanada sprinted towards the left baseline, then gripped his racket with both hands, shouting, "Aggression like fire!"

This time, the flames that originated from his racket stubbornly resisted Kamiya You's Great Fireball for a few seconds, but eventually went out.

"Clang"

Genichiro Sanada's tennis racket slipped from his hand once again.

"Kamiya You's score! 0-40!"

Genichiro Sanada looked serious, feeling that his aggressive, fiery counterattack against Yo Kamiya's Great Fireball Technique was somewhat lacking.

We have to think of another way.

While thinking, Genichiro Sanada picked up his racket, quickly checked it, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the racket wasn't damaged this time, so it doesn't need to be replaced.

Genichiro Sanada walked towards the service court, just as he heard the cheers of the crowd, "Sanada-kun, don't give up!"

"Sanada-kun, you're already very strong!"

"Sanada..."

Genichiro Sanada's face showed a moved expression; he felt the kindness from a stranger.

Kamiya You watched this scene with a question mark in his mind.

Ok?

broken,

How come he seems to have become the villain?

Genichiro Sanada launched another powerful attack, while You Kamiya countered with a Fireball Jutsu.

This time, something seems different.

Kamiya You sensed a heavy aura gradually emanating from Sanada Genichiro.

As Genichiro Sanada watched the fireball streak through the air, leaving behind scorching sparks, various images suddenly flashed through his mind:

From his daily honing of swordsmanship to his tireless practice of tennis fundamentals, rain or shine...

The final image is of his promise to Yukimura before the match.

That was his unwavering original aspiration and an unforgettable promise!

Then, the shadow of a large mountain appeared in Genichiro Sanada's eyes.

Genichiro Sanada gripped his racket tightly.

From this moment on,

Absolute defense!

"Immovable, like a mountain!"

Genichiro Sanada ran to the spot where the tennis ball had landed, let out a low growl, gripped his racket with both hands, and a yellowish-brown barrier appeared in front of him.

This time,

The flames were extinguished by the earthen-yellow barrier, and the tennis ball slowly came to rest in the center of the racket in Sanada Genichiro's hand.

Upon seeing this, Sengoku Kiyosumi couldn't help but gape, "How is this possible?! Kamiya-kun's ball skills have actually been cracked?!"

Other audience members were also excited, "It happened! The plot twist actually happened!"

"Sanada-kun's efforts have paid off; he finally caught Kamiya Yo's tennis ball." A boy who empathized with Sanada Genichiro's plight couldn't help but shed tears.

Ah! This is youth!

At this moment, Shishido Ryo also clenched his fist and stared intently at Sanada Genichiro's figure, thinking to himself: As expected of Sanada-kun, he is a tough guy who never gives up, just like me!

Then, Sanada-kun, let's launch a counterattack against Kamiya from this moment on!
