Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

Although this was a battle destined to have no victory, Asuma had no intention of giving up.

He had not practiced in vain all these years. If Sarutobi Hiruzen underestimated him, he might suffer a small loss at his hands.

Chapter 723 True Father-Son Game

After easily defeating his first-round opponent, Obito went to other regions to check the situation.

He originally wanted to go shopping with Asuma, but Asuma said that he needed to adjust his condition and maintain peak strength, so Obito went alone.

Obito could understand Asuma a little bit. Since they couldn't advance to the knockout stage anyway, there was no point in looking at opponents from other regions.

Obito first went to the A4 region where Nohara Rin was.

Perhaps it was because some players in the A1 region withdrew, and Obito fought relatively fast, so when he arrived at the A4 region, he just happened to catch up with Nohara Rin's battle.

Normally, Nohara Rin, number 25, would fight before Obito, number 30.

Nohara Rin's opponent was a senior ninja from Iwagakure who looked to be around 30 years old and was very skilled in earth escape techniques.

However, Nohara Rin's strength is not good compared with Obito and Might Guy. It is not difficult for Nohara Rin to control an ordinary senior ninja.

After a brief test, Nohara Rin did not summon Milotic, but concentrated her breathing to the extreme, burst out a large amount of chakra, and used physical skills to shatter the earth escape of the Iwagakure Jonin, defeating him at a very fast speed.

"Nohara Lin wins!" The referee announced the end of the fight.

"Very neat and tidy, Xiaolin."

Obito smiled and praised Nohara Rin as she walked down.

"Thank you, Obito, how's your side going? Is everything going well?"

Nohara Lin asked with a smile.

"I'm sure to advance, but Asuma is unlucky."

Obito told Nohara Rin and Kakashi that Sarutobi Hiruzen was in their A1 division and was number one.

"This..." Nohara Lin didn't know what to say.

There are a total of sixteen competition zones, and each zone has four vacancies, which happened to be given to Asma.

"It's nothing actually. Even if we make it to the knockout rounds, we may not get a good ranking. Something is wrong with this competition. I just saw the Third Raikage and the Alternate Raikage in the B1 area." Kakashi said in a deep voice.

After winning, Kakashi went directly to other competition areas to collect information, and only returned when Nohara Rin's battle was about to begin.

What Kakashi didn't expect was that the third Raikage and the new generation AB combination both participated in the martial arts tournament.

The Third Raikage and the Alternate Raikage are both in B1 where Might Guy is. Fortunately, the sequence numbers are quite far apart, so they won't meet in the qualifiers.

In addition to these heavyweights of the Hidden Cloud Sect, Kakashi also saw several other well-known Hidden Cloud Sect jonin in the ninja world.

This struck Kakashi as odd.

Although the rewards of the martial arts tournament are good, they are not worth Yunyin's attention.

"Maybe there's more than just the Third Raikage, maybe the Third Mizukage is also participating." Obito sighed.

The Raikage participated, and he felt that the Third Mizukage at the registration office was likely not just leading the team.

Kakashi nodded in agreement.

He had a bold guess in his mind that perhaps it was not just the Third Mizukage and the Third Raikage, but all the current Kages of the Great Ninja Village except Mu Yue would participate in the competition.

In order to verify his guess, Kakashi, Obito and Nohara Rin went to other regions to gather information.

In the C1 zone, they indeed saw the Third Mizukage, and then in the C3 zone they saw their old acquaintance, Karatachi Yagura.

In Area D, they saw Ohnoki and Rasa again.

Obito was in trouble. There were five Kage gathered in one martial arts tournament. If he was unlucky, he would have to defeat two Kage to enter the semi-finals.

He was just a fifteen-year-old boy who dreamed of becoming Hokage, and reality was too cruel for him.

Obito kind of missed the martial arts tournament with an age limit, at least that way he wouldn't run into old ninjas who were old enough to be his father or even grandfather.

"So many elites from the five major ninja villages have come. Something is wrong..." Kakashi's eyes flickered as he noticed something unusual.

Not only did the Kage come to the Great Ninja Village, but other strong men also came, such as Huang Tu and Li Shi from Iwagakure, and Karutagi Yagura and the Ninja Swordsmen from Kirigakure.

At this moment, the power of the ninjas gathered in Liudao City is exaggerated. The Ninja Clan's martial arts competition should not have such appeal.

Although he discovered that this martial arts tournament was unusual, Kakashi did not panic.

Even if other major ninja villages brought many strong people, Konoha would still be the strongest side.

The combined strength of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mugetsu, and Namikaze Minato is a formidable force.

When their respective matches were about to begin, Kakashi and the others returned to their respective competition areas to prepare for the competition.

……

"Round three, contestant number one, Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama, versus contestant number eight, Sarutobi Asuma."

When the referee read out the match list, all the Konoha ninjas in the A1 field put on serious expressions and tried their best not to laugh out loud.

There's no way around it, this battle is just too dramatic.

He met the Hokage in another competition, and then the father beat his son again.

Fortunately, most of the participating ninjas are elites with good expression management skills. Even if they smile, it is only a slight smile.

"Go ahead, just do your best."

Obito patted Asuma's back with his palm in encouragement.

"Ah."

Asuma nodded and strode towards the battlefield without hesitation, passing Sarutobi Hiruzen and arriving at the battlefield first.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, quickened his pace slightly, and stood opposite Asuma.

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Asuma's fingers moved unconsciously.

Although he spent a lot of time adjusting his condition, when he really stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Asuma found that his adjustments were in vain and he still became nervous.

He was now fifteen meters away from Sarutobi Hiruzen, which was farther than usual when Sarutobi Hiruzen was at home.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't feel too much pressure at this distance. After all, the distance was closer at home and he didn't feel anything.

But Asma was nervous, and extremely nervous. He felt like he was about to sweat.

"call."

Asuma took a deep breath, and the rising strength in his body made Asuma calm down a little.

"As expected of you, old man."

Asuma exhaled and sighed inwardly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is his father, the Hokage respected by countless people, and an extremely powerful ninja. Asuma knew this very early on.

Perhaps to some outsiders, Asuma is a rebellious child who is disrespectful to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In fact, Asuma has always regarded his father, the Hokage, as his goal and wants to become a ninja as powerful as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen could recognize him, Asuma wouldn't care even if others said that his achievements were brought by being the son of the Hokage.

After all, how can the words of outsiders compare to the praise from those closest to you?

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have that. He rarely heard even a simple "good" from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth.

Sometimes Asma wondered, could it be that he was really a mediocre person with no talent?

Fortunately, Mu Yue appeared. Mu Yue recognized his talent, taught him ninjutsu, and also made him recognize himself.

Thinking of the moments he had spent with Mu Yue, Asma's mood gradually calmed down and he was no longer nervous.

So what if it’s the Third Hokage, so what if it’s the pinnacle of ninja Sarutobi Hiruzen, I’m going to hit you!

I have tolerated you for a long time!

"The battle begins!"

Just when Asuma's fighting spirit reached its peak, the referee shouted "start".

"Wind Breathing Chakra Mode!"

The moment the battle began, Asuma immediately concentrated the Breathing of Wind to the extreme and entered the Breathing of Wind Chakra mode.

His opponent was at the pinnacle of the ninja world, and he had no capital to test him. If he didn't use his full strength from the beginning, he might not have a chance.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

With the help of the Wind Breathing Chakra mode, Asuma instantly completed the change in the nature of the wind attribute chakra, and without forming any hand seals, he continuously spit out eight powerful wind blades.

Whizzing!

The battle-hardened Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Asuma's intention to attack and immediately condensed chakra on his legs and dodged away.

Boom! !

boom!

Eight wind blades slashed down where Sarutobi Hiruzen had just stood, and the powerful wind-attribute chakra power instantly turned the ground into ruins.

"It's quite powerful." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in his heart.

Wind Style is one of the five nature changes. As an expert in the five styles, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knows it very well. Asuma's current level of Wind Style has surpassed that of his peers.

Asuma was not surprised to see that the attack did not work, after all, this was what he had always wanted to become.

Phew! !

Asuma took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag with his backhand. With the help of wind escape, the speed and power of the shuriken were greatly enhanced.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag, but he did not add any changes to the shuriken's properties. He just threw it out normally and quickly formed hand seals.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The shuriken was divided into four parts and eight parts, then eight parts and sixteen parts, and instantly turned into a rain of shurikens, which blocked Asuma's shurikens while blocking the dodging space around Asuma like an airtight net.

The Konoha ninjas in the audience thought to themselves that this father and son pair were truly ruthless, using large-scale ninjutsu at will.

Faced with this seemingly unavoidable attack, Asuma did not panic. He quickly released the wind-attribute chakra in his body, and his entire body was wrapped in light blue chakra.

Whoosh!

Boom! !

Countless shurikens smashed to the ground with a loud noise, and thick smoke covered the battlefield.

When the dust cleared, the watching ninjas were surprised to find that there was no trace of Asuma on the ground.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Asuma flying in the sky with some surprise, as he was emitting blue light all over his body.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's surprised expression, Asuma couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Are you stupid? I can fly!

With the help of the characteristics of Wind Breathing and his own understanding of wind escape, Asuma developed a flying ninjutsu that can only be used in Wind Breathing chakra mode.

However, since it was developed not long ago, chakra consumption and flight time are still a big problem, but it is definitely enough for a ring match.

"Wind Style: Infinite Vacuum Jade!"

Asuma condensed chakra in his throat, and the chakra in his body continued to change its nature into wind-attribute chakra, and a large amount of wind-style aura was exhaled by Asuma.

The speed of the breath was so fast and the number was so large, just like a Gatling gun firing.

Moreover, because Asuma is constantly flying in the air, the flight trajectory of his aura is different from that released on the ground, making it more difficult to dodge or defend.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Realizing that Asuma had already used his trump card, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formed hand seals and created two shadow clones.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

A shadow clone used earth jutsu to create a thick and high wall in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen that was difficult for wind jutsu to penetrate, thus breaking through one side of the defense.

"Wind Release·Cyclone!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Asuma flew over to attack, another shadow clone spit out an extremely terrifying storm.
