The next moment, the vortex of water and the violent hurricane collided with each other, erupting with a huge sound.
The blast of wind mixed with a large amount of water droplets swept around, and the entire venue seemed to be hit by a storm.
Fortunately, most of them are made up of chakra, so they come and go quickly, and soon dissipate into the void.
The wind stopped and the rain ceased, allowing the audience to see clearly what was happening on the ring, and they couldn't help but gasp.
I saw Shisui and Asuma standing opposite each other, as if they were back to the way they were before the game started.
But on the bluestone floor beside the dazed Asuma, there was an unfathomable knife mark...
hiss...
No one dared to imagine what would happen if Asuma was hit by this move.
Fortunately, Asuma was lucky enough to dodge it...
Then the audience stared at the stage, wanting to see how this duel would end.
However, at this moment, Shisui's body suddenly shook, and he couldn't stand still and half-knelt on the ground.
Could it be that he was hit by Asuma's Wind Style?
Many viewers looked worried.
But Hideki on the side just shook his head helplessly.
Because he knew that Shisui just overused his chakra...
Water Breathing Technique, Sharingan, and the Chakra Sword that has been given the initial ability to transform into a water escape technique...
The child already had very little chakra left, so of course he couldn't afford to squander it like this.
No matter what, he couldn't continue this fight.
Shisui himself quickly realized this fact and smiled bitterly.
He thought that after this move, he should still have some energy left to secure victory.
He didn't expect Asuma's wind jutsu to be so powerful. It consumed more chakra than expected. It was good enough that he was not lying on the ground now.
Although he was very unwilling, Shisui still stood up with difficulty and said with a bitter smile:
"I lost..."
But before the audience could react, Asuma, who had come to his senses, suddenly shouted:
"No, I lost!"
He looked at Shisui with complicated eyes and said through gritted teeth,
"I saw you deliberately missed the shot at the last moment, otherwise you would have won by now."
"I, Asuma Sarutobi, want a fair victory. I don't want a championship that is handed down as charity."
The audience was stunned.
Both contestants in the final said they lost. What should they do now?
If there is not even a champion, this martial arts competition will become a joke.
Hideki patted Asuma on the shoulder and smiled with relief.
What he had always wanted to grind away was Asuma's arrogance, not his pride.
It seems that after a semester of training, this kid finally knows where to use his pride.
Then Hideki scratched his head again, having a headache about how to determine the winner.
If it was an actual battle, Asuma would have indeed lost.
But Shisui admitted defeat first, and he showed mercy on his own initiative, wasting the chance to win. In fact, it was not anyone else's fault.
Feeling that the audience's attention was focused on him, Hideki knew that no matter how he judged, some people would probably be dissatisfied.
So he had to resort to his last resort and said in a sensational tone:
"Although there was a small problem, to be honest, as a teacher who has guided these two students, I am actually very relieved now."
"Because one of them had a clear reason to win, but he still cared about the other's safety and didn't kill him."
"He could have easily accepted the victory, but in order to have a clear conscience, he still generously admitted his defeat."
"Perhaps as ninjas, their actions are still a little too foolish and naive."
"But in this martial arts tournament where you make friends through martial arts and test the results of your training through sparring with classmates, it is a very commendable behavior."
"No matter the outcome of this match, they are winners."
"Because they defeated their greatest opponent in the moment when they did not resort to any means necessary to win..."
"That's who I used to be."
"Face yourself, understand yourself, and defeat yourself. In fact, this is the real reason why the Ninja School is holding this martial arts tournament."
"If you ask yourself honestly, if you have achieved one or two of these points in this martial arts competition, then that would be more valuable than any points..."
Hideki's cheap chicken soup made the audience suddenly realize that this martial arts conference actually has such a profound meaning.
Many students fell into deep thought:
Indeed, in normal sparring at school, no one would use their full strength, and students from the great ninja clans rarely even used secret ninjutsu, so it was really difficult for them to accurately judge their own level.
This time, the martial arts competition used a large number of points as bait, making everyone unable to help but use all their skills to compete for the ranking, and finally there was a ranking list with full credibility.
You can tell your level at a glance by looking at the ranking.
Students who realize that they are not as good as they thought, students who realize their own shortcomings, students who are reborn through the martial arts competition...
Everyone really felt that even without any points, this martial arts meet was worth the trip.
Of course...it would be better if there were points.
Many viewers also agreed with Hideki's statement and began to shout:
"You two fought very well and are the pride of the Ninja School!"
"I think we should just go for the double championship."
"How about we fight again tomorrow? I haven't seen enough..."
"Cough cough cough…"
Hideki cleared his throat to suppress everyone's unreliable opinions, and announced as a referee,
"As for the outcome, don't worry, because there are already related plans in the rules of this martial arts competition."
"If it is difficult to determine the winner, the principal of the ninja school, the Hokage, will personally make the decision!"
The Sandaime, who had been stroking his beard and smiling for the progress of Asuma and the children, almost pulled out his beard when he heard this.
"Hideki, are you plotting against me!?"
"Didn't we agree that we were only here to watch the competition and awards ceremony?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the Sandaime could only calm down, ponder for a moment, then stood up and said:
"Both sides in the final performed very well, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of mentality."
"This is what the new era ninja of Konoha should look like."
"But if we really want to decide a champion for this martial arts competition, then there is indeed one person who performs more outstandingly..."
"Then I declare that the final winner of this martial arts competition is..."
"Uchiha Shisui!"
Clap, clap, clap!
The venue suddenly erupted in warm applause. Anyway, these two children are so good, they can accept whoever is the champion.
Fugaku, who had been worried all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a family crisis seemed to have been avoided.
In the dark corner of the audience seats, Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly and disappeared into the darkness.
On the stage, Hideki first looked at Asuma and teased him:
"Asuma, do you feel that Hokage-sama didn't make you the champion in order to avoid suspicion?"
Asuma was somewhat speechless at the teacher's instigation, and shook his head gently,
"No, I have actually figured it out just now."
"Compared to Shisui who used up all his chakra in pursuit of victory..."
"I wanted to delay time from the beginning, but I've already lost."
Hideki raised his eyebrows and smiled,
"Very good, it seems that you have really made great progress Asuma."
"Delaying time does seem to be the best tactic, but it doesn't suit your style, Asuma."
"That's why you can't execute well and end up failing at the last hurdle."
"Perhaps if we just go all out and fight Shisui in close combat, we'll have a better chance of winning."
Asuma nodded in agreement, somewhat regretting his momentary confusion.
Then Hideki looked at Shisui who seemed relieved, shook his head and smiled:
"And you, Shisui."
"Even though you won the championship, you are not without problems."
"The biggest problem is that you like to show too much mercy. Maybe you are too confident in your own ability and think you can control the situation, so you always leave a way out."
"This is not a good habit. If you don't correct it..."
"Shisui, you're going to regret this."
Seeing that Teacher Hideki was so serious, Shisui nodded seriously to show that he understood.
As for whether this bad habit can be changed, it is unknown...
