It was firmly attached to the floor.

Obito was determined not to be pushed down by Kisame, no matter what.

He is determined to completely defeat Kisame Hoshigaki.

"I am coming!"

Kisame said coldly, stretching out his hands as if to push Obito's upper body.

But this was just a feint.

Swish!

He suddenly launched a lightning-fast kick, taking advantage of Obito's wide-open defense, and aimed a kick at the latter's groin.

The groin kick never fails.

At this moment, Obito's attention was focused on Kisame's outstretched hands, while his chakra was concentrated in the soles of his feet. He was completely unprepared for Kisame's kick.

Unexpected.

boom!

A dull thud.

Obito opened his eyes wide, covered his groin, and collapsed in pain.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, that's good."

Kisame squatted down next to Obito and mocked him without any emotion.

His kick was a way of collecting interest from Obito on those unpleasant memories from his past life.

Then, Kisame stood up and said to the astonished onlookers:

"Everyone, what you just saw was my invention of unlimited taijutsu. Regardless of the process, the final result was that Obito Uchiha fell down, while I was unharmed. So, I still won this match."

Yes, this is Kisame's specialty: unrestricted physical techniques.

He first used sweet words to fabricate a set of competition rules to gain his opponent's approval;

Then, during the competition, deliberately lose to your opponent at a small cost, so that they get a taste of success and lower their guard.

Finally, Kisame will seize the moment when his opponent is most complacent and relaxed, and decisively launch a sneak attack to severely injure or even kill him.

Both Hozuki Mangetsu and Obito Uchiha fell into Kisame's trap and suffered defeats in the same way.

"Obito, are you alright?!"

Rin ran over and carefully helped Obito up. The latter was grimacing in pain and unable to speak.

"Brother Kisame."

In the crowd, Might Guy hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped forward and asked Kisame, puzzled, "You could have defeated Obito fair and square, why did you..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

"What are you trying to say? Are you calling me insidious and despicable, or ambushing me in a sneak attack?"

Kisame smiled and earnestly advised Kai:

"Kai, remember this: a truly excellent ninja will not talk about morality with the enemy on the battlefield."

One of the core principles of my Unrestricted Physical Techniques is that even a lion using its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Whether facing an opponent who is much stronger than oneself, an equally matched opponent, or an opponent who is weaker than oneself, one should treat them all equally.

We must use every means necessary to defeat all enemies; only in this way can we remain invincible forever.

This is why Kisame, despite his immense strength, always prefers to ambush the weak.

A person like him will never give the weak a chance to win, but will instead leave them in utter despair.

After listening to Kisame's words, Might Guy seemed to be deep in thought.

Not only him, but also other Konoha ninjas, and those Cloud ninjas who had previously looked down on Kisame, while despising his style and character, had to admit—

His words make some sense.

In an instant, none of the more than one hundred people present dared to underestimate Kisame anymore; they all regarded him as their greatest enemy in this exam.

At that moment, a Chunin proctor walked over and opened the door to the lecture hall.

Genin from various ninja villages flocked into the classroom.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Kisame said something to his two temporary teammates, and instead of rushing into the exam room, he headed towards the restroom at the end of the corridor.

He knew that the purpose of the first written test was to assess the ninjas' intelligence-gathering abilities, so he planned to find a way to cheat.

As Kisame approached the restroom door, he suddenly heard two voices coming from the corner of the stairs ahead.

So he quietly moved closer to spy on them.

43. I hit the proctor.

What a coincidence!

One of the two people at the top of the stairs was Asuma, whom Kisame had just met a couple of days ago.

Today, he changed out of his delinquent suit and put on a green Chunin vest and ninja outfit, with a mask covering half of his face.

Since his mouth was injured by the cigarette Kisame offered him, his teeth fell out and his lips split open. He was too ashamed to show his face to anyone, so he wore this mask.

The other person was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with long, wavy black hair, red eyes, and a slightly chubby face. She looked innocent and easy to fool.

She was Asuma's childhood sweetheart—Kurenai Yuhi.

At this moment, the two were discussing the exam.

"Hong, don't worry, with me here, I guarantee you'll pass with a perfect score," Asma patted his chest, making a confident promise.

“But that would be against the rules. Asuma, you can’t do that.”

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head, biting her lip, her large, watery eyes fixed on Asuma.

"Don't worry, the first written test is an intelligence war. With your genjutsu abilities, you can pass smoothly even without my help. I just want you to use up less chakra and conserve your energy. After all, the second and third tests are the real battles, and I won't be able to help you then."

Asuma quickly explained, hoping that Red wouldn't misunderstand him.

Hearing this, Kurenai felt a warmth in her heart, moved by Asuma's meticulous care.

For a moment, the air was filled with the smell of dog food.

Unfortunately, their sweet talk was soon interrupted by a discordant voice.

"Hey, Asuma, we meet again. You're so careless, even when you're smoking. Is your injury any better now?"

Kisame suddenly appeared from the side, acting as if he knew Asuma very well.

"Asma, is this your friend? You're injured? Why didn't you tell me?"

Kurenai was taken aback and asked Asuma with concern.

"It's like this..."

Kisame started to explain, but he was interrupted by Asuma in a hurry halfway through his sentence.

"Ahem. Kurenai, you go over to the exam hall first. I need to say a few words to this genin examinee from Kirigakure."

Asuma coughed twice, feigning an injury, and gave instructions to Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai looked worried; her intuition told her that Asuma was hiding something from her.

But she listened to her lover and obediently left.

"Let's talk in private."

Asuma watched Kurenai walk away before giving Kisame a cold look and heading into the restroom first.

Kisame glanced down the corridor, making sure no one would be coming anytime soon, and then followed them inside.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you didn't expect this day when you used underhanded tactics to scheme against me, did you? With me here, you won't pass this exam. I'll be keeping a close eye on you the whole time."

As soon as Asuma entered the restroom, he turned around and gave Kisame a cold smile.

Upon hearing this, Kisame replied with a puzzled expression:

"You're just a defeated opponent, what gives you the right to speak to me, Kisame Hoshigaki, like that?"

"What do you mean? I'm the proctor, and you're asking me why I dare to talk to you like this? Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand the situation?"

Asma almost laughed out of anger. He had never seen such an arrogant person in his entire life.

"You're the one who doesn't understand the situation."

Kisame calmly moved his fingers, and chakra threads shot out, circled behind him, and slammed the bathroom door shut.

A few seconds later.

From the restroom came the sounds of a fierce fight, the crashing of things, and muffled groans.

This commotion lasted for a while, then quickly subsided.

Squeak.

The door slowly opened.

At first glance, several urinals were broken, with tiles scattered all over the floor. The water pipes next to them were also broken, spraying water everywhere and soaking most of the bathroom.

Asuma, on the other hand, was bruised and swollen and unconscious, his whole body bound by chakra threads, and even his mask had been removed and taped to his mouth.

Kisame opened the innermost toilet stall, picked up Asuma, threw him inside with a "bang," and locked the door from the inside with chakra threads.

Next.

He first formed a hand seal to create a shadow clone, and then used the shadow clone to perform a transformation technique, disguising himself as Asuma.

Finally, Kisame and Asuma emerged from the restroom one after the other and headed towards the examination hall.

Kurenai Yuhi was waiting outside the classroom door.

She saw Kisame walk over, and he nodded to her in greeting before entering the examination room.
