Although he has already long known from Sōseki has long known information that the other party could fly, Asuma still held some hope in his heart.
'Maybe the other party can only fly a few meters above the ground? Or can she only fly straight up and down?'
But now, it seems that Natsuhi's flight distance is not only unlimited, but she's also very flexible in mid-air.
With the opponent's superiority in the air, his next match will undoubtedly be very difficult.
Seeing that Asuma is going to fight the other village's Shinobi, Ibiki asked in a rare concern, "Asuma, will you be fine?"
Asuma flipped his hair dashingly and said, "I don't think so!"
The corner of Ibiki's mouth twitched when he heard this, "Then why you still look so confident?"
Asuma narrowed his eyes as looked at Ibiki, "I'm a man who can be "killed" twelve times in one minute. For me, this little pressure is nothing at all. After all, she doesn't have the ability to kill me in seconds like Sōseki!"
Ibiki was instantly defeated and muttered to himself, "So as long as you don't have any pressure, nothing can beat you?"
The next few matches were not interesting to watch. Soon, the match enters the third round.
The first match makes everyone in the audience excited.
Because, this is a battle between the master of "hiding", Sunagakure's Baki, and the most talented, Konoha's Sōseki.
"Baki was still hiding his strength in the first two matches. In this match, he has to show his true strength, right?"
"Well, it seems that all the hiding he was doing is for this match!"
"This must be a super-high-level duel, try not to blink!"
Compared with everyone's excitement, the Sunagakure's side is in silence.
"Baki-senpai, do your best!"
"Be strong!"
"It's okay, it's not shameful to lose!"
Baki's expression darkened upon hearing this, 'If it weren't for you bastards talking nonsense, the people outside would not hold me so high.'
The Sunagakure's Jōnin, Nakayo also comforted him, "Just use clone when you start, close your eyes all the way, try not to be affected by his Genjutsu, and try to stay a little longer. With Kumogakure and Kirigakure at the bottom, your lost won't be too ugly."
Hearing this, Baki can only smile bitterly. He was considered a genius at Sunagakure, and he had been training for a few years more than them. But when he got here, he discovered that there are too many geniuses in this world, and now even his teacher's request is just to hope that he can hold on for a while.
'But fortunately, there is still Iwagakure at the bottom.' Thinking of this, Baki feels a little relieved.
The two entered the arena.
Seeing Sōseki's calm expression, Baki was a little short of breath. Only by standing here can he truly understand the pressure Mei and the others had been under.
When the referee announced the start of the match, Baki closed his eyes subconsciously, then created a clone, and threw shuriken towards Sōseki from all directions.
Sōseki dodges flexibly, but his hands that is forming hand seals didn't stop at all.
Genjutsu: Heart Eclipse!
In just one second, Baki stopped his attack, and then fell straight down.
There is not even a symbolic struggle like Mei!
Seeing this situation, the Shinobi are not surprised.
After Mei was defeated by a Genjutsu, they knew what the result would be.
But even so, their hearts were still a little shaken, 'What a monster, it seems that only Kumogakure's Nii Yugito can defeat him!'
However, the audiences caused commotion instantly.
"That's it? That's it? Who said this will be a fierce battle?"
"I really can't blink my eyes. I just blinked, and I didn't even know how that Sunagakure Baki lose."
However, certain "passerby" analyzed under the arrangement of a certain Kage.
"Can't you understand this? Of course, Baki deliberately get caught by the Genjutsu in order to preserve Shimizu Sōseki's strength!"
"Sunagakure Shinōbi, there is one thing I have to say, Baki definitely made concessions!"
"For his village's sake, Baki must still hide his strength!"
After hearing these explanations, everyone suddenly realized.
"No wonder he can get caught by the Genjutsu with his eyes closed!"
"Hiss! It seems that Sunagakure is really in an alliance with Konoha!"
In these voices of amazement and suspicion, the referee slowly announced:
"The third round first match, the winner is Konoha's Shimizu Sōseki. The second match, Konoha's Sarutobi Asuma vs. Hoshigakure's Natsuhi!"
Asuma jumped down eagerly and looked at the opponent provocatively, "Don't think that you can win just because you can fly!"
Natsuhi shook her head slightly and said, "You are very strong. Even if I use my Secret Flying Technique, I only have a small chance of winning."
The match begins.
Asuma swiftly ran to the opposite side holding the chakra blade, trying to knock Natsuhi down before she could fly into the air.
However, Natsuhi saw through his thoughts and blocked it for a moment with her mimetic attack in advance, while she herself seized the opportunity to fly into the sky.
"It's truly troublesome!" Asuma sucked the cigarette in his mouth in one breath, and then spit out a thick plume of soot forward.
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!
Immediately, the thick soot shrouded the arena. Natsuhi could not tell Asuma's position, so she had to keep flying and moving in the sky to avoid being used as a living target.
At this moment, the smoke and dust burned violently, and a hurricane surged in the dust, causing a flame tornado which tried to swallow Natsuhi.
As Natsuhi flew away quickly, she controlled a chakra dragon to knock the fire tornado away.
Boom!
The fire tornado exploded and flames flew all around, and then, a chakra blade come out of the flame and shot towards Natsuhi.
'To be able to control the ninja tool remotely like this!' Natsuhi sighed in her heart, and her mimetic chakra turned into a wall of light under her control, blocking the chakra blade coming from the front.
"It's not over yet!" With a loud roar, another tornado rose into the sky from the arena below.
But the difference this time is that Asuma pushed himself up.
'Are you going to have the last fight?' Natsuhi reluctantly created another chakra dragon and shot it towards Asuma.
While maintaining the light wing to fly, she has condensed a wall of light to block Asuma's chakra blade, and now, she has to be distracted to control the third chakra, which is already her limit.
However, the roaring Asuma was bitten by the chakra dragon, and with a "bang", he turned into smoke and dissipated.
'That is, a shadow clone? Then, his main body is in...' Natsuhi was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the arena below.
At this moment, a slight splitting the air sound came from behind her.
"...It's the chakra sword!" Natsuhi suffered from too little experience and didn't realize the problem until now.
Asuma, who has changed back to his original appearance, broke through the wall of light, grabbed the chakra blade and slashed it towards Natsuhi.
Stab!
As he was unable to use strength in mid-air, Asuma's attack eventually only pierced a section of Natsuhi's sleeve and he fell down.
But even so, Natsuhi was very frightened, 'Too strong, as expected of a genius Shinobi from Konoha!'
Just as Natsuhi was preparing for Asuma's next attack, she saw Asuma shrugged, "Okay, I admit-defeat."
Natsuhi was startled and exclaimed, "Wait, I should be the one losing now, right?"
"I've used all the anti-air attacks I can think of, so there's no need to continue fighting." Asuma said this, but he is actually thinking something else in his heart, 'I'm not stupid. If I really win, aren't I going to fight against Sōseki?'
