I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 46: Yin Release Proficiency

Kakashi appeared in the ring in a flash.

"Kakashi-kun, come on," Nohara Rin cheered for Kakashi.

Seeing Kakashi using the teleportation technique in the ring, Obito secretly felt that Kakashi looked really cool. He would also have to learn the teleportation technique in the future.

"Hatake Kakashi is not an ordinary contestant. He is a famous genius in Konoha. I remember this is your second time participating in the competition," the host introduced Kakashi, giving him more attention due to his fame.

*"Oy! This my second time too!"*

"Yeah," Kakashi nodded calmly, saying little and maintaining a cold attitude.

"Kakashi Hatake, what ninjutsu are you going to perform this time?" the host asked.

"Earth Wall," Kakashi replied.

After the host retreated, Kakashi quickly formed a seal, and chakra exploded from his body.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

As Kakashi used his ninjutsu, the scene shook, and then an extremely thick wall slowly rose behind Kakashi.

"This level of earth escape ninjutsu..." The judge gazed at the long and thick earth wall, pondering for a moment. He would have given full marks for a ninjutsu of this level before, but now, since he had already given a full mark, giving another one would mean two first places.

The judges contemplated for a while and ultimately raised the signs with ten written on them. They decided that such decisions should be left to the organizers.

"This guy is still as strong as ever," Asuma commented, showing no surprise at Kakashi's power.

"If you want to defeat Kakashi, who uses ninjutsu, you have to keep working hard," Might Gai said, recalling the intense battle where Kakashi had used all his strength.

That battle had been almost one-sided, with no room for counterattacks apart from one unexpected Konoha Tornado kick.

Seeing all of the judges awarding Kakashi ten points, Obito felt a bit uneasy. If Kakashi also received a perfect score, who would be ranked first?

"Ten points, ten points, ten points. Hatake Kakashi's total score is thirty points! Unbelievable, this is the second perfect score in today's competition, and it is also the first time a double perfect score has occurred since the competition was founded," the host exclaimed.

The competition had unexpectedly high-quality participants, with two perfect scores. For instance, Uchiha Ikunori's level would have been enough to win first place in the previous competitions. Well, for the last time Kakashi participated in this competition.

"What bad luck," Uchiha Ikunori muttered, feeling a bit down. He had thought he could secure first place, but he had been unexpectedly pushed to the third place.

However, he acknowledged his defeat because both Kakashi and Obito's ninjutsu performances were undeniably powerful.

"It would have been great if Shisui participated. He would have definitely gotten a perfect score," Uchiha Ikunori said, expressing confidence in Shisui. Despite being two years older, he believed he couldn't match Shisui's strength.

Shisui smiled and remained silent. He had never had any intention of participating in this competition, and since Obito was so eager to win first place, he chose not to join.

"Are you satisfied now? If you want to defeat me, you'll have to practice for a few more years," Kakashi said to Obito as he stepped down.

"What are you so proud of? We both scored 30 points, and I got it earlier than you. Logically speaking, I won," Obito retorted, unconvinced.

"You got thirty points because you couldn't get more. I got thirty points because it's the highest possible score," Kakashi calmly responded.

"You..." Obito couldn't come up with a comeback, and his face turned red.

"Okay, you're both amazing. There's no need to argue," Nohara Rin intervened, standing between the two and smiling helplessly.

Near the competition venue, the organizers and merchants began discussing.

"How do we decide the rankings with two perfect scores this time? It's a real puzzle."

"What if we have a playoff and let them use other ninjutsu to compete again?" Some merchants suggested.

"It doesn't seem quite right. After all, one of them is still a student, and mastering such a fire escape ninjutsu is already impressive."

"Can't they share the first place?" A voice suddenly interjected.

The merchants found the voice a bit unusual and then realized it belonged to a blond man wearing a forehead protector.

"Could you consider using the dual number one as a marketing gimmick and offer discounts to attract more people to shop?" Makoto suggested with a smile.

"That's a good idea!" The merchants thought it over and found Makoto's proposal appealing.

One of the purposes of holding the competition was to increase foot traffic on the commercial street. Attracting more customers with discounts could easily make up for the additional costs, especially considering the first place prize was only 8,000 ry.

"Esteemed ninja, do you have any plans to open a shop here?" one shop owner asked Makoto, impressed by his business acumen.

"No, I'm just a regular chnin passing through. Your competition is excellent and can boost the enthusiasm of young villagers for training," Makoto replied before leaving.

If Obito and Kakashi were to have a rematch, Obito wouldn't stand a chance against Kakashi. He had given his all for Obito to win first place, and he hoped the reward would be worth it.

After all the contestants finished their presentations, it was time to announce the rankings.

"Uchiha Obito is first, Hatake Kakashi is first, Uchiha Ikunori is second..." the host announced the top three rankings. Technically, the top two, but whatever.

Makoto's suggestion worked. Obito and Kakashi tied for first place, resulting in a draw.

"You're lucky this time. I'll definitely beat you next time," Obito, the winner of the first place, said, his excitement fueling his bold words.

"When your strength matches your mouth, maybe you'll have a chance," Kakashi replied with a venomous tongue that surpassed Obito's.

Fortunately, Obito held the first place prize in his handa beautiful silver-plated kunaiand 8,000 ry in banknotes. Even though he couldn't defeat Kakashi, Obito was delighted with the reward in his grasp.

As the rankings were announced, Obito's training mission was also completed.

"[Disciple Uchiha Obito won the first place in the competition. You completed the mission and received rewards: Chakra +800, Ninjutsu proficiency scroll, Yin attribute chakra property change (proficiency)]" Upon seeing the rewards that appeared, Makoto couldn't help but smile. The reward was well worth his twenty days of hard work.

With 800 extra chakra, he could take forty B-level missions to recoup his investment. The Ninjutsu proficiency scroll was a valuable item that could instantly raise the proficiency level of any ninjutsu he had mastered.

However, the Yin attribute chakra property change was the most satisfying reward for Makoto, even more so than the extra chakra. The practice of chakra attribute, especially Yin and Yang, is a challenging one.

Makoto opened his panel and began examining his data.
