Following the sound of fighting, the two quickly found Obito.
It was a taijutsu-dominated fight.
On one side was a young man from the Hyuga clan, his Gentle Fist fierce and refined—clearly well-trained.
On the other side was Obito, being forced back step by step.
It was a completely unfair fight.
That Hyuga youth was even wearing a ninja headband!
A murderous chill flashed in Jingyan's eyes. Without hesitation, he wildly mobilized his chakra—his hand seals speeding up.
"Obito, get out of the way!"
With a shout, Jingyan's seals were already complete.
In the fight, Obito caught the signal and rolled away in one smooth motion.
He used this move often.
In their usual training, the three often fought each other.
But Obito refused to team up with Kakashi, so most of the time he and Jingyan fought together against Kakashi.
Obito handled the feint—up to ten minutes—
Jingyan suppressed from the rear with ninjutsu.
Their coordination was already perfect.
"Fire Release: Mother-and-Child Great Fireball!"
In rage, Jingyan poured almost all his remaining chakra into this jutsu!
He had just over 500 chakra left.
A normal Great Fireball used about 100 chakra.
With the Ninjutsu Master buff, 500 chakra equaled ten Great Fireballs!
After this period of training, his Mother-and-Child Great Fireball now had nearly fifteen times the power of a normal Lv1 Great Fireball!
The flame was so hot it had turned crimson!
"Hm?"
The Hyuga youth sensed the danger.
Veins bulged around his eyes. When he saw Jingyan, the disdain on his face deepened.
"An overconfident Uchiha brat."
"In front of these eyes, Uchiha Fire Release is a joke!"
He mocked coldly.
As the fireball neared, he slowly raised both hands.
Chakra burst from every tenketsu as his body began to spin rapidly!
"Rotation!"
A pale-blue chakra dome formed, directly blocking Jingyan's fireball!
Jingyan curled his lips into a cold smile.
With that smile, the five fire dragons hidden inside the fireball finally burst out!
The scorching red flames crushed down on the blue barrier. The dragons tore at the shield, devouring everything!
"Jingyan, be careful… this guy is a real ninja."
Obito panted, face pale with pain.
This was nothing like their previous fights.
A headband-wearing ninja was on a completely different level.
Kakashi, standing to the side, was confused.
"You two… what's going on exactly?"
Why did it look like a life-or-death feud?
He'd heard about Uchiha and Hyuga grudges from his father—but not to this extent.
And weren't the Hyuga kids afraid of these two?
Confused as he was, seeing Obito's bruised face and blood at his mouth, Kakashi silently drew his blade.
At this moment—
The clash between red and blue, fire and Rotation, ended.
The Hyuga youth had multiple burn marks and was clearly badly injured.
Jingyan tilted his head and started forming seals again, mobilizing every last bit of chakra.
But Kakashi stopped him.
A ninja much older than the three kids—even injured—was still dangerous.
"Five fire dragons… that's your limit, right?"
As he spoke, Kakashi's blade slid fully out.
"You have no reason to interfere," Jingyan frowned.
Kakashi was right about one thing.
That Hyuga was probably here for revenge over the ones beaten half a month ago.
With Rotation and his age, he was likely a chunin.
A real threat.
But this had nothing to do with Kakashi—and Jingyan was confident he could win.
Rotation could block a fifteen-times Lv1 Great Fireball.
But… only that much.
This feud was between him and Obito. Kakashi didn't need to be involved.
"I just don't like ninjas with headbands bullying kids and breaking the rules."
The words didn't quite match Kakashi's age, but Jingyan didn't argue.
After all, the three of them had once been stuck in the same pit all night.
No need to be too calculating.
Even Obito snorted.
"Tch, nosy."
After a short silence, the three boys looked at each other—and smiled.
Something invisible connected them at that moment.
"Heh! Let that Hyuga bastard taste what it's like to be ganged up on!" Obito said excitedly.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
This guy… had been ganged up on before?
Well, that explained a lot…
Getting ready?
The science student, who usually hated exercise, grinned.
"After we beat this guy, we can go straight to the academy and apply to graduate!"
...
Eight chapters done. I'm exhausted.
Not pity-posting—just saying.
Half a year ago I could do eight or ten a day like nothing.
Slowly getting back into form.
By the way, that Hydrogen Release book is also mine—
The old 'fake-eunuch' novel is now renamed Qingtian, got some meaning in it.
Good night, everyone. Getting old really does make you weak…
How about a little flower to "nourish the kidneys"? 🌸
