"Real condition?" Yagami was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Soseki wasn't injured?"
"It's not that he wasn't injured, but the extent of the injury is far less severe than what you see." Sandaime looked Sōseki with admiration in his eyes, "To be precise, he was actively leading himself to get injured. Those injuries looked veryserious, but in truth, it doesn't really affect his combat ability that much."
"This, is this kind of thing even possible?"
"Of course, but the premise is..." Sandaime was in a happy mood and couldn't help but took out his pipe and started smoking, "You need to have enough understanding of your own body."
"Another point is that he has brought healing technique to the extreme. Even if I use was the one who use healing technique, I may not be able to do better than him!"
The people around couldn't help but widen their eyes upon hearing this. Although Sandaime is not a specialized Medical-nin, as the famous Professor of the Shinobi World, his mastery on Medical Ninjutsu has actually surpassed the vast majority of Medical-nin. (A/N: Sandaime's original setting was the Professor who is proficient in Five-Attributes, but the added setting later became a complete set of seven attributes.)
To make him say such a thing, it is enough to show Soseki's talent in Medical Ninjutsu.
Besides sighing, there are still people who are puzzled, "But, what's the point of doing this? No matter how much he covered it up, his strength will not increase in the slightest!"
Sandaime spit out a smoke ring and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Asuma should know the effect of Medical Ninjutsu very well, but now, he is impatient!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and quickly looked at the battle, only to find that Asuma was sweating profusely at this moment.
Not only he is short of breath, but his pace has also become messy.
'Is this, psychological warfare?'
"It's true, he really has recovered!" After several collisions, Asuma confirmed the answer he saw.
On the other hand, Sōseki didn't use words to stimulate his opponent, but with firm eyes, he attacked Asuma without saying a word.
But the more this happened, the more Asuma believes that Sōseki is unfathomable.
Clone Technique!
Under the tremendous pressure of Sōseki, Asuma's Clone Technique breakthrough on the spot, and the number of the clones increased by one. However, it was still useless. A clone without a physical entity could not interfere with Sōseki's judgment at all and it was just a futile waste of chakra.
It also seems that Sōseki seems to be no longer deadlocked due to the "healing" of his Medical Ninjutsu, and instead chooses the same violent style as Asuma.
It didn't take long for his body to be covered with scars again.
Then, under Asuma's tired eyes, Sōseki touched his chest with his left hand again, and the seemingly serious injury quickly healed.
"It's like this again! It's too strong, is this Sōseki's true strength?" Looking at Sōseki's calm demeanor, Asuma's chest was heaving, and even the hands holding the chakra sword trembled slightly.
Although he had the "upper hand" before, the rhythm of this battle was actually in his opponent's hands, and Sōseki's expression has not changed from beginning to the end, making him feel like he couldn't figure it out.
The combination of various tangled and complicated factors makes Asuma's psychological defensive line gradually fall apart, allowing Sōseki's psychological suggestions that were planted before the battle to continue to take root.
Finally, Asuma's mentality is completely out of balance!
'Alas! Asuma is going to lose!'
'Well, his rhythm has been completely disrupted.'
'As expected of Sōseki! He's too strong!'
'He is too monstrous. There is simply no way to fight him!'
Not many people can see Sōseki's true strength. Seeing that Asuma's offensive was becoming more and more incoherent, everyone around made judgments about the battle in their hearts.
Asuma also noticed his own problem, but it was useless. The more he wanted to calm down, the more impatient he became. When his thoughts were chaotic, a few wounds are added on his body.
"Calm down, calm down me!" Asuma was breathing rapidly, fiercely biting the tip of his tongue, "The key to this battle lies in Sōseki's Medical Ninjutsu, but his hand seal speed is too fast to interrupt. If that is the case, I can only find a way to make his Medical Ninjutsu ineffective, that is to say, use an attack that exceeds the upper limit to make Sōseki directly lose his combat capability."
"Although I'm still not proficient enough in this technique, I can use it!" Asuma approached the opponent while forming hand seal with both hands, "Snake-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"That …It turned out to be a C-Rank Ninjutsu!"
"You're kidding, right? Chunin-level Ninjutsu was actually used by Academy student!"
The older students around couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this. When they were still unable to use E-Rank Ninjutsu, a new student could already use Chunin-level Ninjutsu!
'Even if the other party is the son of Hokage, isn't it still too ridiculous?'
Sighing, everyone suddenly reacted, "Not good, Sōseki..."
As a highly difficult Ninjutsu in C-Rank Ninjutsu, the attack range and the destructive power of Great Fireball Technique is very large, and Sōseki also seemed to be frightened stupidly, as he only stood there blankly until he was hit by the big fireball.
Boom!
The heat wave is raging, and the flames engulfed everything!
"I...I killed Sōseki?" Seeing this, Asuma's hands trembled, his pupils lost their brilliance, and his whole person lost his strength.
Just when Asuma was in grief, a chill suddenly came from his neck, accompanied by Sōseki's slightly apologetic voice.
"Sorry, Asuma."
Hearing this, Asuma was overjoyed. Sniffling his nose, he turned around and asked, "Sōseki, you didn't die?"
Sōseki withdrew the kunai that was pressing on the back of Asuma's neck, and said helplessly, "Hokage-sama didn't take action, so of course it means that he is sure that I can dodge it!"
"Oh! Even that annoying father is also here!"
Sōseki looked at him with strange expression, "Asuma, language?"
Asuma looked embarrassed and said, "I accidentally bit my tongue just now, cough, I'll take some control."
Asuma then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how did you dodge it just now?"
Sōseki smiled and said, "Of course it's because of the Body Replacement Technique!"
"You also can use Body Replacement Technique? But I haven't seen you use it before!"
"Even if I didn't use it before, it doesn't mean I can't! After all, I don't have as many chakra as you."
Asuma was still in disbelief. "It's just half a month, not only did you learn such a powerful Medical Ninjutsu, but you can also use Body Replacement Technique so well!"
Sōseki asked as if it is a matter of course, "For people like us, isn't it normal to learn Body Replacement Technique with just a few looks?"
Sōseki did not take this matter seriously. Compared with Uchiha Itachi, who can learn Great Fireball Technique at a look, his performance is actually just an ordinary genius.
"That...you can learn it with just a few looks?" Asuma's eyes were dazed, seeming a bit at a loss. After a while, he sighed with gloomy eyes, "I, I might not be worthy to be called a genius like you. Yeah, I'm actually just an ordinary person, right?"
For him, who was still in his Chūnibyō phase, the blow of disillusionment was indeed a bit big.
Just as Asma fell into self-doubt, a pair of palms pressed against his shoulders.
"What are you talking about, Asuma? You are so strong. I am not your opponent at all in terms of real strength!"
Saying that, Sōseki's tone suddenly became serious, "If you are so frustrated by just one defeat, as your rival, I will be very, very disappointed!"
Asuma raised his head, just in time to meet Sōseki's eyes that seemed to be beating and sparkling.
For a moment, inexplicable emotion filled his heart.
Asuma's nose twitched hard and then he said with a heavy nasal voice, "I know, next time... Next time I will definitely defeat you!"
Seeing that Asuma had once again become that familiar Chūnibyō, Soseki smiled and said, "Let's form the Seal of Reconciliation!"
"Okay!"
On the other side, Okawa Takeuchi, who was Asuma's instructor, bowed his head in shame.
"Hokage-sama, this is my serious dereliction of duty!"
Asuma has the best diet, the best resources, and is guided by a "top" teacher like him.
But in the end, he still lost, and he still lost to a new student without any resources, a war orphan. With such an outcome, Okawa Takeuchi felt that he is the one to blame.
Sandaime smiled and waved his hand, "You have done a good job. I have seen the growth in Asuma."
"But, Asuma-sama still loses!"
"It's better to lose now than to lose on the battlefield in the future. Moreover, he loses because his opponent is too strong!" Sandaime smiled and knocked on the pipe, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I could hardly believe it. It's not something a new student who has only studied in the Academy for half a month can do it!"
Okawa Takeuchi nodded vigorously, 'That kid is basically a monster!'
In the field, cheers came one after another.
Sandaime looked at this scene with a smile. In addition to the talent, he actually values Sōseki's "background" and "light" more.
'A war orphan, but not withdrawn or resentful. Instead, he can warm others with his sunny attitude every day. At the Konoha Hospital, almost every doctors, nurses and wounded loves him very much.'
'The same is true at the Academy. In just half a month, all students in his class can recognize his leadership. '
'This is simply the perfect embodiment of Will of Fire. No wonder he can say such speech...' Sandaime sighed in his heart, and then said with a smile, "Let's go, leave the time for laughter to them."
