I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 70: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"Candidates Might Gai and Uchiha Obito, please enter the examination room to prepare for the exam."

As everyone anticipated, the final match was between Might Gai and Obito.

In the previous exam, Might Gai defeated Hyuga Kento, showcasing his physical prowess. Obito also displayed great strength in battles with other candidates.

Obito's onee-chan, Nohara Rin, who was observing the match, clenched her fists in support of Obito. "Come on, Obito!"

In response, Obito confidently smiled and waved at Nohara Rin. This time, he was determined to secure the first place.

Obito had put in a lot of effort to increase his strength, enduring rigorous training with Kakashi. Over one month, he worked on refining his nature transformation and ninjutsu, followed by a month of intensive taijutsu training. Obito is no longer the Condoriano he used to be.

'Teacher Makoto, allow me to demonstrate my progress!' Obito noticed that Makoto had arrived at the examination site.

"I'll be the first!" Might Gai beamed with confidence, his wide smile gleaming in the sunlight. He was equally determined as Obito.

He never lost faith in himself, even when he failed the Ninja School entrance exam. He firmly believed he would become the strongest.

Furthermore, Might Gai cherished Makoto's guidance and remembered Makoto's words about a disciple's growth being the best reward for a teacher. He aimed to display his newfound strength to Makoto.

"Let's give it our all. The actual combat test allows the use of ninjutsu, unlike our previous training." Obito said as he formed the Seal of Opposition.

"Then let's see whose youthful spirit burns more intensely," Might Gai responded with an unusually serious face, forming the Seal of Opposition as per the rules.

Observing the two candidates, Makoto considered the possible outcome of the match. Their strengths were quite evenly matched, with Obito possessing knowledge of two Fire Release ninjutsu techniques, while Might Gai excelled in taijutsu.

"The exam begins!" The invigilator announced the start of the fight shortly after the candidates formed the Seal of Opposition.

"Leaf Hurricane!"

Might Gai swiftly lunged forward after the invigilator's signal, executing his fastest and most powerful taijutsu kick toward Obito.

Obito, familiar with this move, had anticipated it and swiftly moved aside to evade the attack. He countered by launching a series of shurikens at Might Gai while retreating.

*Swoosh*

Might Gai perceived Obito's strategy but found himself compelled to evade the shurikens and move backward.

"Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!" Obito wasted no time after creating distance, promptly forming the necessary hand seals to execute his Fire Release technique and threw out several fast shurikens.

*HOO HOO HOO!*

*Swoosh*

A blazing fire erupted from Obito's mouth, forming a massive fireball, towering over both candidates, before hurtling toward Might Gai.

Gai immediately attempted dodging to the right but was surprised by the shurikens that arced weirdly blocking his way. However, to Obito's surprise, Might Gai continued rushing and used a kunai to block all the shurikens thrown at him, successfully escaping.

*Boom*

Obito's fireball fell down upon Might Gai previous location, creating fiery eruptions that lit up the battlefield.

'Fortunately, the fight with Shisui allowed me to get used to these weird shuriken throws; otherwise, I might have been injured,' Might Gai took a deep breath and felt lucky.

When fighting Shisui, Shisui's shuriken throwing had caused him significant trouble.

Obito felt a little regretful, thinking he should have used the Fire Dragon Ninjutsu, which was faster and more efficient. However, he wanted to use the Great Fireball, the jutsu that earned him first place in the Junior Ninjutsu Competition, to win the first place in the grade combat assesment.

Obito had no time to reflect further. Might Gai seized the moment, surging chakra through his legs, and swiftly advanced.

"Leaf Hurricane!"

Might Gai executed his powerful kicking technique once more but this time with more Chakra.

"Gai, your speed can't match Kakashi's teleportation technique," Obito couldn't help but smile proudly after successfully dodging Might Gai's attack. He felt that dealing with Might Gai's Taijutsu wasn't as challenging as he had initially thought.

Obito then attempted a taijutsu battle with Might Gai.

However, Obito soon discovered that he had overestimated his own abilities. His strength and speed were no match for Might Gai's, and he was pushed back, relying on his excellent agility to dodge.

"Although Uchiha Obito excels in fire escape, Might Gai's taijutsu skills are equally impressive. If this continues, Uchiha Obito will lose," a teacher observed, recognizing Obito's shortcomings.

It was clear that if Obito didn't capitalize on his strengths, he couldn't compete with Might Gai in terms of physical skills.

Ikari Isamu maintained a smiling demeanor. Both Obito and Might Gai were his students, and the outcome didn't matter.

Makoto's heart remained unperturbed as the match unfolded according to his expectations. The winner didn't concern him as much as the potential rewards that would be awarded.

Suddenly Gai's eyes glowed red and with extreme speed he vanished.

*Swish*

"Great Leaf Hurricane!"

Might Gai unleashed his most powerful kick yet, surpassing any previous attempts.

Obito was caught off guard by Might Gai's sudden massive burst of speed and failed to evade the attack, blowing him all the way to the wall.

*Bang*

"The fourth-grade combat exam has concluded, and the final winner is Might Gai!" the invigilator announced as the exam came to an end.

As the exam concluded, Makoto's system broadcasted a report confirming the settlement of the training mission.
