Chapter 527: Obito's Power Crisis
Chapter 527: Obito's Power Crisis
After dinner and a short break, Yahiko Rin set out to find an empty space to test Menas' new abilities.
By understanding each other's capabilities, they could fight together more effectively, harnessing their combined strength in battle.
Some of the students, intrigued by Menas' exceptional performance during the fight, expressed their interest in joining.
After some discussion, it was decided that all the disciples would go together. Those who were interested could watch, while the others could cultivate nearby; it was always better to train as a group than individually.
To prevent any unforeseen incidents, Mu Yue sent a shadow clone to discreetly follow them.
The Sixth Path City was still a small town, surrounded mostly by wasteland, and it didn't take long for Yahiko Rin to find a secluded, quiet spot.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Yahiko Rin swiftly performed the necessary hand seals before forcefully slamming her hand onto the ground.
Bang!
A flash of white smoke revealed a tall, creamy figure.
"Woof~"
Menas affectionately lowered her head, rubbing her cheek against Yahiko Rin's body.
Yahiko Rin reciprocated by gently patting Menas' head.
"It's huge!" Obito exclaimed.
Having grown accustomed to the Fire Dinosaur and the Rock Puppy, Pokemon whose sizes were dwarfed by theirs, the sight of Menas, stretching over six meters in length, was awe-inspiring.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
The other disciples also summoned their Pokemon.
The Fire Dinosaur, who had just finished dinner and was comfortably resting in the cozy den crafted by Obito's grandmother, was suddenly summoned. Seeing Obito, it instinctively tensed, its fist clenching.
"Look at Menas, and then look at you," Obito said with a mix of exasperation and disappointment. "Why won't you grow?"
If it hadn't evolved, that would be one thing, but despite their evolutions, the disparity in their sizes left Obito at a loss for words.
The Fire Dinosaur wanted to retort; was its height something it could control?
It turned to look in the direction Obito was gesturing, curious to see how Menas had grown.
"Whoa, what a beauty!" Sora's voice echoed in everyone's minds.
The Fire Dinosaur couldn't agree more and gave Sora a thumbs-up. As expected of the translator, he had an eye for these things.
Ignoring Obito, the Fire Dinosaur enthusiastically greeted Menas, "Fire Dragon!"
When it came down to it, bonding with a beautiful Pokemon was far more important than dealing with an uncooperative contractor.
"Beauty, do I know you from somewhere?" Sora translated.
Immediately, Sora's expression turned disdainful. "Who knows? Why is the Fire Dinosaur acting so weird today?"
Obito: ???
What did he have to do with it, and since when did he become an adjective?
Tap!
Kakashi's finger accurately struck Sora's forehead, "Where did you pick up that strange way of speaking?"
Sora just chuckled and dodged the question.
Menas nodded.
They had indeed met before, back when it was still a Feebas.
"Let's begin training, Menas. Show me all the abilities you've mastered so far," Yahiko Rin said, ready to get down to business.
"Woof!" Menas let out a clear bark, signaling for the others to back away to avoid any accidental injuries.
The Fire Dinosaur wanted to continue chatting with Menas, but seeing that it was being ignored, it could only retreat with a sense of helplessness. Its drooping tail silently conveyed its dejected mood.
As Menas' ability test was about to commence, Kakashi shifted his gaze from the Rock Puppy to Menas, focusing his attention on the Pokemon.
The other disciples also turned their eyes toward Menas with anticipation.
'Twister!'
Menas tensed its body, releasing chakra as it swung its tail. Instantly, a whirlwind formed, a vortex of five to six meters in height, uprooting several large trees in its path.
'Water Pulse!'
Menas opened its mouth, concentrating a large amount of chakra with a water attribute nature, and spat out a ball of water the size of a basketball toward the ground.
Bang!!
The explosion created a crater, sending mud, rocks, and water droplets flying in all directions, with a cloud of dust and mist rising afterward.
"That Water-style jutsu is no ordinary technique," Kakashi thought to himself.
Although the water ball appeared small, it seemed that Menas had employed some special technique, resulting in a far more powerful impact.
Whoosh!
Menas darted toward a large tree, wrapping its slender body around it.
Crack!
The tree instantly snapped into several segments.
'Aqua Tail!'
Menas landed gracefully and began to concentrate chakra on its tail before forcefully slamming it onto the ground.
Boom!!
A deafening roar echoed as the point of impact instantly caved in, forming a pit that spread out in several large cracks.
"If I hadn't dodged that attack back then, even with the use of the Body Flame Secret Technique, it would've still been painful," Kakashi thought to himself.
Menas turned her head slightly and winked her left eye at the Fire Dinosaur, her body emitting a soft pink glow.
"Fire Dragon!"
The Fire Dinosaur's eyes showed little pink hearts, and it slowly walked towards Menas, captivated.
"What? What kind of jutsu is this?" Obito stared in astonishment as the Fire Dinosaur seemed to have lost its senses.
"It's probably an illusion technique," Kakashi guessed, unsure.
Not wanting to endure the embarrassment any longer, Obito ran over and grabbed the Fire Dinosaur's head, shaking it vigorously.
"Roar!" The Fire Dinosaur let out an angry roar as it regained its senses, glaring at Obito.
Usually, it didn't mind Obito's antics, but interrupting its moment with a beautiful Pokemon was taking things too far.
Huff!
Obito entered the Fire-breathing Chakra Mode, his chakra igniting into fierce flames as he glared at the Fire Dinosaur.
He wondered if the Fire Dinosaur was confused about who was the alpha.
"Fire Dra-" The Fire Dinosaur's roar softened, and it calmed down immediately.
It was still a young dragon that hadn't fully matured; it was no match for Obito, a cunning Uchiha.
Once it became a fully grown dragon, it would show Obito what true dragon dignity was!
'Aqua Drop!'
Menas continued her demonstration by releasing a bluish-green water ball towards Yahiko Rin.
The water ball exploded in the air, and droplets rained down on Yahiko Rin and the others.
The healing power of the droplets refreshed the Fire Dinosaur, and it even started to see Obito in a slightly better light.
The Fire Dinosaur couldn't help but turn its gaze back to Menas, who was truly a goddess in its eyes.
"Woof!" Menas looked at Yahiko Rin and let out a clear bark.
"It says that there are two more moves that are more effective in battle," Sora translated.
Kakashi's interest was piqued. If Menas said these two moves were good for combat, he was curious to see their effects and why she hadn't used them during the tournament.
"Alright then, in that case..." Yahiko Rin prepared to enter the battlefield and spar with Menas.
"Rin, you can't. Someone else should go," Sora continued translating.
Obito wanted to volunteer to help Yahiko Rin train her Pokemon, but someone else, or rather, some Pokemon, was faster.
"Fire Dragon!" The Fire Dinosaur eagerly stepped forward.
It wanted to strengthen its bond with Menas.
Obito facepalmed. He couldn't understand where the Fire Dinosaur got its confidence to challenge Menas. This was just asking for a beating.
However, there was no stopping the Fire Dinosaur now.
"Begin!" Yahiko Rin, acting as the referee, signaled the start of the match.
The Fire Dinosaur, concerned about damaging Menas's perfect body, refrained from using its signature fire attacks. Instead, it charged at Menas with chakra-enhanced claws.
Menas, on the other hand, treated this as a regular battle. She gathered chakra in her tail and swung it with a powerful stream of water.
Bang!
The Fire Dinosaur was sent flying and crashed to the ground, its eyes spinning as it looked dazed.
"It's too weak. Can we get a stronger opponent?" Sora translated, feeling a bit sorry for the Fire Dinosaur.
Obito twitched his mouth. He figured that it was better for the Fire Dinosaur to be knocked out; staying conscious might only lead to more heartbreak.
Just as Obito was feeling speechless about his Pokemon's performance, Might Guy stepped forward, his white teeth shining as he laughed, "Well then, I'll take its place! I want to experience the power of the one who gave Kakashi such a hard time!"
Obito closed his mouth, which had just begun to open to volunteer.
"Begin!"
As soon as Yahiko Rin gave the signal, Might Guy immediately opened four of the Eight Inner Gates and rushed towards Menas.
"Konoha Senpuu!"
Might Guy chose his signature move, the Konoha Whirlwind, as his opening attack.
While the Konoha Whirlwind might be a simple and unflashy technique, Might Guy's strength and abundant chakra from the Eight Inner Gates made it a formidable attack.
'Water Ring!'
Instead of dodging, Menas gathered chakra and created a water membrane around her body, causing her sleek figure to glow with a cerulean light.
Bang!
Menas's slender body was knocked back, and she crashed to the ground with a few scratches on her creamy-white skin.
Might Guy's kick hadn't caused much damage, and Menas quickly got back on her feet. She opened her mouth and sprayed a stream of water at Might Guy.
This time, Menas gathered chakra and swung her tail to counter the attack.
Bang!
A dull thud rang out as Menas and Might Guy each retreated a short distance.
At that moment, Menas' watery shroud glowed, and the scratches on her body disappeared, restoring her to her original state.
"A medical ninjutsu that activates automatically during battle?" Kakashi exclaimed, surprised.
He understood why Menas hadn't used this technique during the tournament; since he hadn't attacked her, she hadn't needed to heal any injuries.
"Don't worry about me getting hurt. Go ahead and use your full strength," Sora conveyed Menas' message.
Without hesitation, Might Guy focused his breathing and entered the Rock Breathing Chakra Mode. Since Menas had given him the go-ahead, he wouldn't hold back.
"Morning Peacock!"
Might Guy pushed his breathing technique to the limit, causing the vast amount of chakra within him to burn fiercely as he unlocked the peak power of the Four Gates state.
He rushed towards Menas and unleashed a rapid series of punches, each one faster than the last and dazzling to behold.
Due to the incredible speed of his punches, the friction with the air created flames. These flames, formed at different intervals, rushed towards Menas in a dazzling display.
Countless balls of fire appeared, resembling a fiery peacock spreading its tail, both dazzling and beautiful.
However, to Menas, who was the target of this fiery assault, the flames were far from pleasant.
She unleashed a thick stream of water to intercept the attack, but there were too many fireballs, and she managed to block less than half of them.
Boom! Boom!!
The fist-sized fireballs slammed into Menas, engulfing her in a blaze of fire.
Rin Nohara, concerned for Menas, couldn't help but worry. She gathered her chakra, preparing to use a medical ninjutsu to heal Menas' wounds.
At the same time, she hoped that this experience would teach Menas to be more restrained in the future.
Telling Might Guy to use his full strength was a bit too bold, even Obito wouldn't make such a statement.
As the fire dissipated, Menas' injured figure was revealed. Her creamy-white skin now bore charred marks and bloody gashes.
Just as Rin was about to call for a halt to the battle to treat Menas' injuries, Menas' body glowed with a green light. The burnt skin fell away, the wounds healed, and not even a scar remained, as if nothing had happened.
"I understand now," Kakashi said, realizing why Menas had said that these two techniques were more effective in combat.
One technique could automatically heal her body, but the healing effect was average. The other technique was powerful, able to restore her from severe injuries to perfect health, but it consumed a large amount of chakra.
Kakashi couldn't help but feel relieved that he had been cautious during the tournament. If he had chosen to attack Menas directly instead of targeting Rin, his chakra might have been depleted before he could defeat her.
Menas was like a super-ninja version of Rin; she could both heal and fight effectively.
Obito wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he suddenly realized something serious. Not only could the Fire Dinosaur not beat Menas, but he himself might also be no match for her.
Not only did Menas counter his fire-style jutsu, but she could also rapidly heal herself. Obito couldn't think of a way to defeat her.
"I should ask Teacher Mu Yue if it's possible to quickly unlock corresponding Breathing Chakra Modes by specializing in a particular breathing technique," Obito thought to himself, deep in contemplation.
He didn't want to play the submissive role anymore; he wanted to change jobs.
...
The next day, the Ninja Youth Martial Arts Tournament continued with the remaining matches.
In the resting room, only eight contestants remained.
Kakashi and his group sat together, chatting quietly. Asuma, who was somewhat familiar with Kakashi and his friends, occasionally joined the conversation.
The remaining contestants—Nagato, Sasori, and Terumi Mei—kept to themselves, meditating quietly as they awaited the start of the next round.
"Contestant number one, Nagato, versus contestant number eight, Sasori," the referee's voice announced, echoing into the resting room.
Nagato opened his eyes, his expression calm as he made his way towards the door. No matter who his opponent was, he would emerge victorious.
Scorpion opened his eyes as well and headed towards the combat arena. It wasn't for the rewards, but for the opportunity to observe Kakashi further, that he would give his all in this fight.
PS: Today, my condition is terrible. I was initially planning to take a day off, but I decided to push through and write a 4k chapter. I didn't want to ask for your votes one day and then take a day off the next; that would be unfair.
I'll go to bed early to rest up, and I hope you all will do the same. I also hope that tomorrow's writing will go more smoothly, and I can deliver a longer chapter.
