"Those two… they actually t in the first round."
The Fourth-Year students watching the match couldn't help but feel it was a pity. Might Guy and Obito were the top two in the annual Grade-Level Practical Exam, and even in the strongest Group A, both had the strength to reach the final four.
eting so early ant one of them would be eliminated prematurely.
"No matter who wins, there'll be one less strong opponent later," Asuma thought as he saw Guy and Obito step forward.
He wasn't as familiar with Guy's combat ability as he was with Obito's, but since Guy had beaten Obito in the exam before, his strength was clearly formidable. With that in mind, Asuma's expression turned serious—this was the perfect chance to observe and gather intel on them both.
"The first match is against Guy…" Obito grimaced slightly.
Guy had already mastered three-stack Shave, while he hadn't yet and couldn't stack it three tis in one burst.
Even so, Obito didn't think victory was out of reach. Neither of them had the stamina to use Shave repeatedly in a short period—it put too much strain on their leg muscles. He was at a disadvantage, yes, but not hopeless.
Guy, for his part, was fired up at the chance to face Obito right away.
The two quickly walked to the open arena, ready to start.
"Begin!" Mugetsu announced as they took their stances.
The mont the word left his mouth, Guy's figure vanished from sight.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
His passionate voice rang out across Group A. Facing Obito, a partner he trained with daily, there was no need for probing—Guy went all out from the start.
He instantly executed a three-stack Shave, closing the distance in a blur, and unleashed his strongest kick.
"So fast!" gasps ca from the crowd. To them, Guy had all but teleported.
"What a fast Body Flicker Technique," Asuma muttered in surprise. He knew Body Flicker himself, but his speed wasn't anywhere close to Guy's—and he still needed hand seals.
Their strategies clashed—Guy aiming for relentless close combat, Obito trying to keep distance and use ninjutsu. But being a fraction slower, Obito still caught the heel of Guy's kick. He blocked with his arm, but the impact made it tremble uncontrollably.
Falling behind so early, Obito's mind raced. If he got caught in Guy's attack rhythm, he'd lose for sure. He made a quick decision—double-stacking Shave to open as much distance as possible.
Guy followed, but Obito managed to widen the gap—Guy had only used Shave once.
"I've won," Guy thought confidently.
Counting the opening exchange, Obito had already used Shave three tis in under a minute. Even with Guy's superior conditioning, he wouldn't risk that many bursts. Soon, Obito wouldn't be able to run, let alone keep up Body Flicker.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Ignoring the ache in his legs, Obito rapidly ford seals and spat a three-ter-wide sphere of fire straight at Guy.
Guy didn't panic. Having faced the technique countless tis, he knew it was powerful but easy to dodge. His real concern was a secondary attack hidden behind it.
But to his surprise, Obito didn't take the chance to press him. When Guy next caught sight of him, there were now five Obitos on the field.
Clone Technique to hide the real body behind the fireball? Guy quickly guessed.
The five Obitos scattered in different directions, making it hard to tell the real one—until Guy noticed one moving just slightly slower, a flicker of strain crossing his expression.
"Found you!"
Guy gathered chakra into his legs, Shaved forward, and went for a quick, decisive strike. It was natural for soone to falter after overusing Shave—Obito's legs had to be screaming in pain.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
His whirlwind kick connected—only for his expression to shift instantly. The Obito he struck vanished in a puff of smoke.
"A clone!" Guy turned sharply, searching for the real one.
Not far away, the real Obito had already finished forming seals.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
A half-human-thick dragon of fla roared toward Guy.
At such close range, Guy could feel the searing heat instantly. He forced his aching legs to execute a two-stack Shave to dodge—but unlike the Great Fireball, the dragon could turn.
As Guy's figure blurred away, Obito twisted his chakra, and the flaming serpent curved in pursuit.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A wall of water surged up, blocking the fire dragon just before it struck Guy.
Mugetsu had stepped in. Though Obito should have stopped the flas just short of hitting, Mugetsu wasn't willing to risk an accident with Obito in such poor condition.
"Uchiha Obito wins!" Mugetsu declared.
He wasn't sure if it was the training paying off, or if Obito really only fought his best when under pressure. He couldn't win evenly before—but when Guy seed to have the clear advantage, Obito still pulled out a coback.
"Guy, I won this ti!" Obito grinned, pride shining as he laughed.
Finally—he had beaten Guy in an official match, and from behind no less.
But before Guy could answer, Obito collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Obito! Are you okay?" Guy rushed to his side.
Mugetsu appeared, lifting Obito up. "Probably just extre fatigue from overusing chakra. I'll take him to Konoha Hospital for a checkup."
He left a Shadow Clone to oversee the remaining matches while his main body carried Obito away.
