"This is getting interesting—the Fire Shadow's advisor's son versus the Hokage's own son. Now that's an evenly matched fight." Morino Ibiki couldn't contain his curiosity upon hearing the competitors' names and left his seat.
Faced with such chaos in the classroom, Genjin, their teacher, not only didn't try to stop it but joined in himself, moving to the window.
How could I miss such a rare showdown?
Genjin thought to himself.
Many others shared the same sentiment. Even some upper-year classes experienced small-scale disruptions as everyone's attention focused on the training ground.
"Just so you know, Feng Bai, I won't be holding back either." Asuma patted the ninja tool pouch strapped to his leg, revealing the kunai inside.
"Is that so? Well, I guess I'll have to hold back then." Facing Asuma's show of force, Feng Bai wasn't about to back down. Uh, he didn't have any kunai on him, but he did have a few shuriken.
Not that he'd need kunai anyway.
"Alright, both of you form the Seal of Confrontation!" Ito Makoto was getting nervous too, his eyes closely monitoring the two in front of him, afraid to miss any movement.
"Come on, Feng Bai!"
"Hmph, here I go!"
As soon as the Seal of Confrontation was formed, Asuma burst forward, using the Body Flicker Technique to instantly close the distance between them.
"So fast! But..." Compared to Aburame Ryōma, Asuma's speed was merely decent.
After all, Feng Bai endured daily beatings from jōnin—he was already mentally prepared for sudden attacks.
He suddenly crouched down, dodging Asuma's powerful punch. Seeing his opponent preparing to kick, Feng Bai slammed both hands against the ground and quickly pulled away from Asuma, making him kick empty air.
"Beautiful dodge." Ito Makoto couldn't help but praise.
"Pretty quick, but still not as fast as me." Taking advantage of Asuma's unstable footing, Feng Bai, who had already created distance, threw two shuriken to harass his opponent while rapidly closing in on Asuma.
If he dodges the shuriken, he'll have to face Feng Bai's direct attack, so...
With a "bang," the two shuriken embedded in a broken log, while Asuma's real body appeared elsewhere thanks to the Substitution Technique.
"I'll return your own tactics right back at you." Throwing his kunai, Asuma chose the same strategy as Feng Bai.
Seeing the kunai approaching and Asuma aiming for his dodge position, Feng Bai didn't choose to use the Substitution Technique. Instead, leveraging his superior speed, he pulled out a shuriken to deflect the kunai and kicked toward Asuma as he arrived.
Asuma crossed his arms to block Feng Bai's kick, intending to grab his opponent's calf, but he hadn't expected the seemingly frail Feng Bai to have such surprising strength—he was directly kicked flying.
[He wrapped chakra around his foot? That's excellent chakra control technique.]
Asuma praised Feng Bai in his mind as he was sent flying.
[Then...]
Using the momentum of being knocked back, Asuma began forming hand seals before even stabilizing himself.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
A small amount of smoke spewed from Asuma's mouth, shrouding Feng Bai's form.
"Not good, this jutsu!" Mentally cursing Asuma's recklessness, Ito Makoto prepared to intervene and end the fight.
"Ash Pile Burning, huh? Then I'll use this move..." Feng Bai also began forming hand seals, completing them just before Asuma could ignite the flames: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Howling winds scattered the smoke, directly choking Asuma into a coughing fit.
"Holy crap, what kind of monsters are in Class 2? Does everyone know ninjutsu?" Watching the ninjutsu clash between the two, Namiashi Raidō expressed his heartfelt amazement.
"Seriously, looks like Class 2 has more than just Kakashi as a genius." Yamashiro Aoba agreed.
"Want to surrender, Asuma?" Looking at Asuma kneeling on the ground coughing, Feng Bai kindly reminded him.
"Hmph, the battle's not over yet." Wiping his mouth, Asuma took a stance that looked somewhat familiar to Feng Bai.
Is that Guy's pose? He's not going to send me out of the ninja world with three punches, is he?
Feng Bai made a small mental complaint while preparing for battle.
"I'm not the only one who knows Wind Release!" Asuma charged forward fiercely, but instead of using taijutsu, he continued forming hand seals.
"Wind Release: Gale Slash!"
A wind blade shot out, rapidly heading toward Feng Bai.
He's already learned both Fire Release and Wind Release at this age? Worthy of being Lord Third's son. Looks like Feng Bai will be the one to lose.
Ito Makoto praised Asuma's talent while mentally declaring Feng Bai's defeat.
"This level of Wind Release can't defeat me." Looking at the rapidly approaching wind blade, Feng Bai didn't dodge but chose to counter directly.
Rat—Snake—Horse—Dog
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
A star-shaped wind blade scattered Asuma's Wind Release at even greater speed, slashing toward Asuma with unstoppable momentum.
Although Feng Bai's Vacuum Serial Waves was far from matching Danzō's due to his age, even so, it wasn't something Asuma could handle.
In terms of chakra reserves, Feng Bai, who possessed a bloodline limit, was naturally superior to Asuma.
"Whoa, what incredible Wind Release."
"If it were me, I probably couldn't dodge that move."
"Hmph, if it were you, you'd probably be in pieces by now."
Students watching from the teaching building expressed their amazement.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Knowing that Asuma would become a corpse under this Wind Release if he didn't act, Ito Makoto hurriedly intervened, creating an earth wall to try blocking Feng Bai's Wind Release, while using the Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Asuma and carry him out of the Vacuum Serial Waves' attack range.
The Vacuum Serial Waves shattered the earth wall into fragments the moment it made contact, its speed so fast it nearly grazed Ito Makoto's back as it slashed past.
"Such incredible speed—it's hard to believe Wind Release of this level came from a child this age!" Feeling some of his hair get cut, Ito Makoto mentally congratulated himself on using Earth Release to block—that was the right call.
Otherwise, he might have become the first teacher in Konoha's history to die at a student's hands during class.
"BOOM!"
Finally, the Vacuum Serial Waves flew across most of the training ground before collapsing part of the school's perimeter wall and dissipating.
"Hey, Feng Bai, why did you use such a terrifying jutsu against me?!" Seeing the power of that attack, Asuma's face went pale as he immediately voiced his complaints from Ito Makoto's arms.
"Weren't you the one who said you wouldn't hold back?" Feng Bai hadn't expected this Wind Release to be so powerful either, awkwardly scratching his face.
"That doesn't mean you should try to kill me, you bastard!" Asuma continued protesting.
"If you put it that way, your Ash Pile Burning would have finished me off if it ignited." Feng Bai began pointing out Asuma's own faults.
"My Fire Release doesn't have your kind of terrifying power!"
"Says who? That thing can actually burn people to death—way more dangerous than Obito's Great Fireball!"
"What the hell does this have to do with me?" Obito, his face swollen beyond recognition, looked completely bewildered.
