When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

The other viewers in the live stream immediately looked towards the arena!

now.

Some of the white smoke from the Substitution Jutsu has already dissipated!

at the same time.

A log landed squarely at Hyuga Hizashi's feet!

However, the log used by the Stand was not an ordinary log!

It was a log covered in explosive tags!

"—Boom!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi used this substitution technique at an extremely precise time.

Almost the instant the log hit the ground!

The explosive tag that was stuck on it exploded immediately!

A blinding burst of fire erupted instantly.

The Hyuga Hizashi, who was so close at hand, didn't have much time to spare!

It was immediately engulfed by the explosion!

[Kondo Muto: This Hiruzen Sarutobi is truly a master of underhanded tactics; he actually came up with this method to deal with that situation!]

[Hozuki Gengetsu: What a pity, Hyuga Hizashi's Gentle Fist technique was interrupted by the Substitution Jutsu, and his body should still be under the influence of inertia!]

It's simply impossible to avoid an already detonated explosive tag!

He lost!

[Uchiha Fugaku: Is this match going to end like this?]

[Rin Nohara: I never knew the Substitution Jutsu could be used like this!]

.......

They saw Hyuga Hizashi being engulfed by the explosive flames of the detonation tags.

Everyone thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to win this match!

But soon.

Someone noticed something was wrong.

[Uchiha Izuna: No, the arena rooms should be closed after the competition ends!]

But the arena rooms haven't disappeared yet!

This means that Hyuga Hizashi hasn't lost yet!

[Kondo Mune: Huh~! Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true...]

[Hozuki Gengetsu: As expected of Madara's brother, his insight is amazing...]

[Yagura Karatachi: Did Hizashi Hyuga use the Resurrection Technique again to defend against the explosive damage from the explosive tags?]

[Uchiha Shisui: No, the Hyuga clan's Reincarnation Technique has a certain amount of pre-cast animation!]

Just like that sudden explosion!

Uncle Hiashi had no chance of using his "Reversal Technique" in time!

[Yagura Karatachi: If he didn't use the Resurrection Technique, how did he manage to defend against it?]

[Uchiha Shisui: I'm not entirely sure about that either. Uncle Hizashi might have another method!]

……

Just as everyone was discussing how Hyuga Hizashi had avoided the damage from the exploding tags!

The thick smoke that had been kicked up by the explosive tags in the arena finally disappeared!

And this time!

The ghost ninjas in the live stream also saw the scene beneath the thick smoke.

Wood chips everywhere!

Apart from the wood chips charred black by the explosive tags.

That's all!

[Loquat Juzo: Huh? Where did they go? They've both disappeared...]

Minato Namikaze: Up in the sky...

Following Minato Namikaze's words.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the sky above the arena!

In sight.

Hyuga Hizashi was seen falling from mid-air, panting heavily!

He had some marks on his body from being hit by explosive tags!

However, it's not very obvious.

[Tobirama Senju: It seems that the guy must have used his high-speed movement to jump into the air the instant the explosive tag detonated, thus avoiding the center of the explosion!]

That's why he wasn't fatally wounded!

[Minato Namikaze: Unfortunately... even though he avoided the epicenter of the explosive tag's blast, Hizashi was still impacted by the blast!]

[Tobirama Senju: That's for sure. At that distance, even I couldn't have escaped unscathed. He's lucky he didn't die there!]

[Yagura Karatachi: I think he's stupid. The third generation used the Substitute Technique to avoid his Gentle Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm. Why didn't he use the Substitute Technique?]

If he had used the Substitution Jutsu, he probably wouldn't have been affected by the explosive tags at all!

[Yuhi Kurenai: Fourth Mizukage, you're overthinking it. The Hyuga clan members are proficient in Gentle Fist and possess taijutsu skills that surpass those of other ninjas of the same rank!]

However, they are not particularly skilled in other ninjutsu!

[Yagura Karatachi: Seriously? The Substitution Jutsu is one of the three most basic ninjutsu. He's an elite Jonin with strength comparable to a Kage, and he doesn't know it?]

[Yuhi Shinku: It's not that I can't, it's just that I'm not very good at it. Maybe...maybe I need to use hand seals to use it!]

[Yagura Karatachi: You need hand seals to use the Substitution Jutsu? Seriously? That makes it even weaker than those newly graduated genin, doesn't it?]

【Yuhi Maku: There's nothing we can do about it, the Hyuga clan members basically don't use the Substitution Jutsu!

Learning that ninjutsu was merely a preparation for the graduation exam at the ninja academy!

[Yagura Karatachi: I see. It seems the Hyuga clan has quite a few flaws and weaknesses!]

The Substitution Technique is known throughout the ninja world as a divine technique for immunity to injury, yet they managed to ignore it—that's utter arrogance!

[Kurenai Yuhi: Heh, does the Fourth Mizukage really think mastering taijutsu is an easy thing?]

[Yagura Karatachi: Isn't that right? Every ninja who graduates from the Ninja Academy must have some knowledge of taijutsu, right?]

After all, taijutsu is one of the most basic abilities a ninja possesses!

【Yuhi Shinku: Fourth Mizukage, you only said you know taijutsu, but I said you are proficient in taijutsu. There is a huge gap between the two, okay?

If you don't believe me, you can just go ask Matt Day in our village!

[Yagura Karatachi: Why should I ask him? Do you want me to ask him why that lump is so big?]

[Matt Day: ???]

[Yuhi Kurenai: Uh... Fourth Mizukage, you're really funny. I told you to ask Might Guy so you could find out from him whether someone who is proficient in taijutsu is equally skilled in other ninjutsu!]

I think Might Guy is the best person to explain this, after all, his taijutsu was enough to instantly defeat even the Second Hokage!

[Tobirama Senju: Ahem~ Kurenai Yuhi, actually, you didn't have to say that last sentence!]

.......

Chapter 341 discusses the importance of tactics! (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)

[Jūzō Biwa: Yeah, if we're talking about who has the best taijutsu here, it's definitely Might Guy from Konoha!]

Yagura, if you really want to find the answer, asking him is indeed a good choice!

[Suigazan Fuguki: Not bad, although I hate to admit it, that guy's physical skills are really strong!]

I, the Fugu Demon, have roamed Kirigakure for over a decade!

I've never seen anyone cultivate their physical skills to that level before!

[Hozuki Gengetsu: No way? You, a mere elite Jonin, can actually dominate my Hidden Mist Village?]

Just how useless must my Hidden Mist Village be?

[Ringo Ameyuri: Second Mizukage, you really don't believe it? Back in Kirigakure, our elite Jonin were already the village's top fighters!]

[Hozuki Gengetsu: Yagura, is what they're saying true?]

[Yagura Karatachi: I don't know, I have no memories of what happened back then...]

[Biwa Juzo: Second Mizukage, isn't it pointless to ask that Yagura guy?]

He didn't even know if the child in his wife's belly was his back then, how could he possibly know these things!

[Yagura Karatachi: ...]

Reminded by Kurenai Yuhi.

Those dead ninjas in the live stream then remembered that there was someone on their side who was even more skilled in taijutsu!

That's Might Guy, the taijutsu master who could even kill the Second Hokage with a single kick in the arena!

Yagura composed himself and immediately questioned Might Guy.

[Yagura Karatachi: Might Guy, is what Kurenai Yuhi from your village said true?]

[Matt Day: What?]

[Yagura Karatachi: So, ninjas like you who are incredibly skilled in taijutsu are really not good at other ninjutsu?]

[Might Guy: I don't know about the others, but I only know hand-to-hand combat...]

[Yagura Karatachi: You only know taijutsu? What about substitution jutsu, transformation jutsu, and clone jutsu? You're not telling me you don't even know those three basic ninjutsu, are you?]

[Matt Dai: Hmm! No...]

Matt Day answered very decisively.

This caused Yagura to fall silent!

He had assumed that no matter how bad the other party was at ninjutsu, they were still capable of it.

But you must know those three most basic ninjutsu, right?

After all, the Transformation Technique, Substitution Technique, and Clone Technique are all ninjutsu without any elemental attributes!

But he never expected this.

This Might Guy doesn't even know these three most basic non-elemental ninjutsu!

[Yagura Karatachi: Wait a minute, I remember that in your Konoha Village's graduation exam, there were test standards for those three basic ninjutsu!]

If you don't even know those three basic ninjutsu, how did you even graduate as a genin?!

[Matt Day: You're asking this? Just take the test a few more times!]

[Yagura Karatachi: Take the test multiple times? What do you mean by that?]

Might Guy: That's right. I took the exam for several years in a row, but I never passed because I didn't know those three basic ninjutsu!

Later, the examiner probably got annoyed because I came to take the exam so many times.

So they just let me graduate directly...

[Yagura Karatachi: This...is this okay?]
