The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

As for Kamiya You, he had already discovered the secret of the two spins on the ball when the ninja soccer racket's movement suddenly changed, but he wasn't surprised by it.

After all, Yuushi Oshitari, like Syusuke Fuji, was known as a genius.

and……

A glint of light flashed in Kamiya You's dark pupils.

In the current fiercely competitive environment of Hyotei, Oshitari will no longer be a genius in his third year of middle school, unlike in the original story, instead of a strong player like Tezuka or Sanada.

After all, in the original story, the strongest in Hyotei was Atobe, followed by Oshitari, and no one could catch up with him.

As for Jiro Akutagawa? His progress in strength was limited because he was prone to sleepiness due to physiological reasons.

But the current Hyotei,

Not only does Oshitari have himself as the department head, Atobe as the vice-head, and even Mori Jusaburo ahead of him, but there are also a bunch of people behind him eyeing his position covetously.

Dare to indulge? Dare to slack off? Then you won't even be number 4 anymore.

Yes, the catfish effect is indeed the best.

Meanwhile, on the field, Jusaburo Mori touched the slightly curled roots of his hair on the right side. "Well, that's not bad, a combination of spinning and feints..."

His languid gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself:

No wonder Oshitari dared to challenge him.

Their speed and skill levels are indeed quite similar.

That's correct, at least based on normalized figures.

Mori Jusaburo narrowed his eyes slightly, deciding to try scoring in a normal state first. If that didn't work, he would use his ultimate move.

The price he paid for having this mindset was that he didn't catch a single ball after that.

The first serve, a combination of topspin and sidespin, was like a starting point. Although Yuuji Oshitari didn't use any more feints, he continued to hit serves with complex spin.

One ball with backspin and left side spin, then another with backspin and right side spin, and finally a topspin and right side spin.

Soon, the referee's decision was announced.

"Yuushi Oshitari scores!"

"Game, Yuushi Oshitari, 1-0! Switch sides!"

"Oh! Shinobu is good!"

"We won in one fell swoop! We took No. 3!"

Some of the first-year students cheered loudly from the stands.

Although they weren't very familiar with Shinobu, Shinobu was still their first-year student, and their pride was in seeing Shinobu's talent.

If Yuushi Oshitari continues down this path and defeats Jusaburo Mori to take third place, then the first-year students will have secured all three top spots!

Inside the arena, as Yuushi Oshitari listened to the cheers and encouragement for him, a smile crept onto his lips. An image of someone with short, slightly wavy blond hair and round-framed glasses involuntarily flashed through his mind.

The fact that he was able to win this game so easily is not only due to his own hard work in practicing his skills, but also thanks to the skill explanations and practical exercises provided by his sparring partner, Irie.

Tsk, no wonder he's one of the sparring partners chosen by the Kamiya Group.

This level of skill is truly exceptional.

Yuushi Oshitari decided that he would continue to practice tennis with Irie as a sparring partner.

Meanwhile, Kamiya You, sitting in the center of the stands, listened to the cheers and glanced at Oshitari Yuushi's barely concealed joy. He calmly sipped his watermelon juice and silently shook his head inwardly.

Tsk, don't they know what it means to not make promises you can't keep?

Renji, don't get too excited yet. Opening the floodgates halfway through is a recipe for disaster.

As for the other second- and third-year club members in the stands who, unlike Kamiya Yo, were aware of Mori Jusaburo's true strength, they all looked at Mori Jusaburo with a mixture of disappointment and hope.

As a senior member, Mori, how could you be the first to lose a point?!

Come on, bro!

Even though you transferred here later, Mori-kun, you're still a second-year student.

It can be said that he is the only one among the top three in the main team among these seniors!

As for Saito Shu, who was also a third-year student, he looked at Oshitari Yuushi's figure with complicated emotions in his eyes.

He had to admit that Yuushi Oshitari's technique was far superior to his, because he simply couldn't hit a ball with that kind of speed and combination spin right now.

Inside the stadium, Mori Jusaburo walked towards the sidelines. Although he uttered a comment first, he still wore that lazy, casual smile on his face.

Seeing this, Yuushi Oshitari adjusted his glasses, his joy at winning the first game quickly fading, replaced by a serious expression in his eyes.

Because he could tell that Mori Jusaburo's smile was not forced at all.

It seems that my plan to use superior skills to overwhelm him in the first game, putting mental pressure on him and affecting his performance later on, has failed.

Furthermore, the fact that Mori Jusaburo could still laugh after witnessing his feint and compound spin serve definitely indicates that he still has hidden strength...

Soon, the 90-second rest period ended.

The two took their positions.

The umpire announced, "It is now Jusaburo Mori's serve."

Mori Jusaburo stood in the right service court and casually weighed the tennis ball in his hand a couple of times.

Then, he took a deep breath and leaped high into the air.

Taking advantage of his height, he perfectly converted the gravitational potential energy generated by his falling body into kinetic energy, and together with the strength of his wrist, he smashed the falling tennis ball hard with his racket.

"Bang!"

Golden streaks of light tore through the sky like cannonballs, hurtling towards Yuushi Oshitari's half of the field.

"Bang!"

The moment the tennis ball hit the ground, Yuushi Oshitari had already run to the vicinity of the launching point.

After the tennis ball was launched and rose to a certain height, he decisively swung his racket.

But at the instant the racket made contact with the ball, an unimaginable force suddenly struck.

"Oh no!" Yuushi Oshitari's pupils contracted.

"That serve was much more powerful than he had estimated for Mori Jusaburo's power!"

But it's too late to switch to a two-handed grip to return the ball now.

Yuushi Oshitari's racket tilted sharply to the right from the impact of the ball.

The tennis ball seemed to have hit a faulty speed bump; its speed barely decreased, and it flew straight out.

"Mori Jusaburo scores! 0-15!"

Yuushi Oshitari rubbed his aching hand and shook his slightly numb wrist. Then, recalling the moment his racket was knocked askew, a strange light shone in his eyes.

What incredible strength!

Perhaps it's also because Mori-senpai's height was increased by jumping, which gave him strength.

However, the height difference is really hard to make up for in a short time. After all, people like Atobe's follower Kabaji, who are 1.7 meters tall even before graduating from elementary school, are a very small minority.

Then the only option is to try a two-handed grip to return the shot, and also to deflect the force during the return.

The first-year students on the sidelines were a little disappointed. Although Shinobu had won the service game first, it seemed that it would be difficult for him to break his opponent's serve, given the significant difference in strength between the two.
