Chapter 49: Golden Crow Fluid Technique!
After Minato Namikaze announced the start, he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to leave, returning to the edge of the arena where he stood with Pakura and Kitsuchi.
Uchiha Takashi quickly leaped backward to create distance, beginning to form hand seals.
Facing an opponent skilled in binding techniques, close combat would only give them the perfect opportunity to exploit their skills.
Of course, if the opponent knew the 'Adamantine Sealing Chains,' that would be a different story.
However, the opponent's 'binding technique' was just a poor imitation of the Adamantine Sealing Chains, not even worthy of being called a knock-off.
Fire Release: Flame Bullet!
Uchiha Takashi started with a C-rank ninjutsu bombardment, not giving the opponent a chance to calmly perform sealing techniques.
Having studied sealing techniques with Kushina Uzumaki for a while, he had made significant progress in understanding these special techniques, making it much easier to deal with them.
Boom! A wheel-sized flame bullet shattered the ground where the Sand Village girl stood.
"Amazing!"
"As expected of a genius who passed the previous rounds!"
"He's a genin from our Konoha Village, why haven't we seen him before?"
...
The spectators in the stands were naturally excited to see such a powerful ninjutsu.
This was exactly what they came to see.
While genjutsu battles might be more dangerous and powerful, they couldn't compare to the spectacle of a full-force ninjutsu in the eyes of the audience.
From their conversations, it was clear that Uchiha Takashi was not well-known.
He was practically invisible.
This was the difference between having the village's promotion and not.
If he were part of the Hokage's circle, he might have already earned the title of 'genius.'
Whoosh! The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.
If it were the old Uchiha Takashi, he might have panicked.
But after experiencing near-death situations, he could now face such circumstances calmly.
Whoosh! A flame ignited in his right hand, and then he spun and leaped, using the momentum to swing his right hand backward.
Golden Crow Fluid Technique: Ghost Burn!
Bang! This strike shattered the white cloth that was winding toward him.
And Uchiha Takashi didn't stop there. After landing, he dashed forward a few steps like lightning, grabbing his opponent by the neck with his still-burning right hand, injecting a large amount of flames into their body.
Golden Crow Fluid Technique: Kintsuki Sun! The effect of this move was simple.
It allowed him to inject flames into the opponent's body, then explode them instantly to shatter the target in his grasp.
Brutal and powerful.
It's clear that Uchiha Takashi hadn't just been developing ninjutsu during this time; he had also been paying attention to taijutsu.
The key was his broad knowledge and imagination! Techniques from fighting games he had seen before crossing over could be recreated here.
In the world before crossing over, these techniques were completely unfeasible.
But in the ninja world, where chakra made anything possible, these fighting techniques had a chance of success.
Moreover, Uchiha Takashi could have Uchiha Shizuka help him experiment with how to use chakra in conjunction with these techniques, saving him time and effort.
As a result, he had developed many powerful taijutsu techniques during this time.
Whether it was the defensive 'Ghost Burn' or the brutal 'Kintsuki Sun,' they were all taijutsu techniques he had developed himself.
He named this type of fire-assisted nin-taijutsu 'Golden Crow Style.'
With the Fist of Flames, he could maximize the effect of his nin-taijutsu.
Boom! The body Uchiha Takashi grabbed was shattered from the inside by flames.
However, he wasn't pleased by the destruction of his target.
Because something felt off!
Moreover, the three examiners hadn't reacted, which already indicated a problem.
If the opponent were truly facing death, others might not react, but Pakura would definitely save her disciple.
That was her 'disciple,' a bond closer than blood, so how could she not react?
"Binding Sealing Formation!"
A female voice called out.
At the same time, the ground beneath Uchiha Takashi's feet suddenly turned white, and strips of white cloth wrapped around him like giant serpents.
And at that moment, the girl emerged from behind a vertical camouflage cloth.
Visual deception!
Chapter 49: Golden Crow Fluid Technique!
If viewed from behind, she would definitely be easily spotted. But from Uchiha Takashi's direction, there was no way to see Jun hidden behind the camouflage cloth.
As expected of Pakura's disciple.
Just these few tricks could potentially catch even a Chunin off guard.
"We've won!"
Seeing Uchiha Takashi wrapped up like a mummy in her white cloth, Jun began to relax.
All she needed to do was step forward and apply a seal to end the battle.
But as she approached, she sensed something was wrong.
Bang! A fist engulfed in intense flames burned through the white cloth, sending her flying with a heavy blow.
Golden Crow Fluid Technique: Wild Bite!
The effect was to use flames to enhance the explosive power of the fist, adding extra damage.
This strike sent Jun flying over ten meters, and the sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.
One punch KO!
That single punch ended the battle.
Since Jun passed out, the fight naturally had to end.
At the same time, Uchiha Takashi didn't dare to go in for a finishing blow, knowing she had backing.
Her teacher was watching from the sidelines.
If he dared to take advantage of the situation, it wouldn't be impossible for someone to 'accidentally' stop him.
Elite Jonin or even quasi-Kage level powerhouses were not something he could handle at this stage.
It's only because of Minato Namikaze's presence that he had to be cautious.
Let's just say, the third round of matches wasn't just about fighting; it was also about understanding social dynamics.
Against competitors from smaller villages, you could go all out, and they could only comply.
But against opponents from major villages with backgrounds, you had to think twice.
So, a clear-headed Uchiha Takashi didn't pursue but instead stepped back a few paces to show his stance.
Minato Namikaze, standing at the edge of the arena, saw Uchiha Takashi's actions and looked on approvingly.
If he had a reckless personality, he wouldn't last long on the battlefield.
The most typical example was 'Senju Nawaki,' who died directly in an explosive tag trap. If he weren't a Senju, he would definitely be a negative example.
"Jun... Jun, are you okay?"
Pakura used the Body Flicker Technique to reach Jun, who had been hit by the Wild Bite.
For an ordinary person, taking such a hit would mean certain death.
But ninjas have chakra, so even if this strike could shatter a wooden figure, it wouldn't be beyond saving.
"...Teacher?"
The just-awakened Jun saw her teacher as soon as she opened her eyes.
"I'm taking you to the medical room now!"
Seeing her disciple was okay, Pakura finally relaxed and quickly carried her away.
The competition rules were meant to restrain smaller villages, not the major ones.
Minato Namikaze waited for Pakura to leave with her disciple before stepping forward to announce.
"The match is over, Uchiha Takashi wins!"
Pakura's intervention meant Sunagakure automatically conceded, and announcing it now was just giving them some face.
The result surprised the spectators from Konoha.
"How is this possible!"
"Didn't expect that!"
"Were all those rumors false?"
...
Uchiha Takashi! He was known in Konoha as the 'dead last,' a 'failure,' often used by villagers as a negative example for their children.
Previously, everyone thought Uchiha Takashi only made it to the third round because of Kakashi's influence.
But this one-on-one battle made them realize he wasn't as the rumors suggested.
And Uchiha Takashi didn't waste any time. After his victory was announced, he returned to the contestant's stand to rest.
There were still several rounds of battles to go, and he needed to recover as much as possible.
Meanwhile, he was also calculating the gains from this match in his mind.
