Chapter 14: No-rules duel, a battle with full firepower
The exam time started soon, and the morning exam was still a cultural class.
These questions are not difficult for Yagyu.
After the exam in the morning, Yagyu and the others quickly went home to eat, and then they didn't even have time to take a nap before they came to the ninja school to continue the exam.
The fifth grade has the most exams, while the sixth grade has only one graduation assessment.
The exams in the afternoon included shuriken throwing, taijutsu duel, survival drills, kunai hand-to-hand combat, and... no-rules duel.
Kunai hand-to-hand combat is easy to understand. It means using a kunai to fight the opponent, either to subdue or kill the opponent, which is considered a victory.
This is the basis for learning starting in third grade.
Ninjas are tools for assassination. How can they do it if they don't know how to kill?
Unruled duel is a subject only available in fifth grade.
It's also easy to understand that you can defeat and kill your opponent in any way.
The exam started soon, and the first subject was still shuriken throwing.
Unlike cultural classes where scores need to be corrected, the afternoon exams are all scored on the spot.
And the result was no surprise, Yagyu got perfect marks.
When it came to the taijutsu showdown, Yagyu's opponent was not Uchiha Sasuke.
Because by the fourth grade, it’s no longer just child’s play.
During quizzes and temporary exams, Iruka is still free to decide the list.
But when it comes to the big exam, Iruka doesn't have the final say, there must be fairness.
I saw a chuunin next to Iruka on the training ground, not the original Mizuki, but a female teacher who was good at medical ninjutsu.
By the third grade, the rules of physical martial arts duels no longer mean whoever falls to the ground loses, but rather until the opponent is subdued or the opponent admits defeat.
During this period, injuries are inevitable.
When the physical martial arts showdown began, Yagyu and others started drawing lots to match their opponents based on numbers.
The opponent Yagyu drew was not the top nine in the class, but a girl.
The opponent did not admit defeat. After all, admitting defeat would mean zero points.
Yagyu didn't kill him instantly. Instead, he played a few rounds with dignity and then defeated the opponent in a gentlemanly manner.
Interestingly, the opponent Uchiha Sasuke drew was Naruto.
I don't know why, but Uchiha Sasuke often ran into Naruto whenever the opponents were arranged by drawing lots.
This made Yagyu very suspicious. Did the fate of these 'brothers' affect the rules of the world?
In the taijutsu duel between Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, the latter undoubtedly won.
Now Naruto is the bottom of the pile. He gets low marks in all subjects, and often turns in blank papers in cultural classes.
If the graduation assessment was based on total scores, Naruto would never graduate in his life.
When it comes to hand-to-hand combat with kunai, the opponent is still determined by drawing lots.
However, the atmosphere was completely different from the Taijutsu duel, which could be seen from the serious expressions on Iruka and the medical teacher's faces.
After Iruka blew the whistle, he only took a few steps back, staring closely at the students he was fighting with. If he noticed something was wrong, he would immediately intervene.
The opponent Yagyu drew was still not one of the top nine in the class, but a male classmate who often greeted him.
"…Thanks for the advice!"
Just like he did with the female classmate, Yagyu held a kunai and easily resisted several attacks from the opponent. Then he suddenly disappeared in an instant and then appeared behind the opponent. The kunai was pressed against the back of his neck, ending the battle.
"As expected of Yagyu, he is no match for you."
The male classmate who was almost beaten reached out his hand and made a seal of reconciliation with Yagyu, without any trace of depression on his face.
Except for Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto who would feel unwilling to lose to Yagyu, the other students have become accustomed to it in the past few years. Now Yagyu, in their eyes, is an unbeatable demon king.
Meeting Yagyu in a kunai hand-to-hand combat might be a good thing.
I saw that in the ensuing duel, many students had their clothes or skin scratched by kunai.
Once someone's life is in danger, Iruka will immediately stop him and declare the student who might be killed defeated.
If it hadn't been for the hand-to-hand combat with kunai, which had been going on since the third grade, many people would have been crying in pain by now.
Yagyu still remembers that when he had his first hand-to-hand combat with kunai, many of his classmates did not dare to take action and trembled in place while holding kunai.
After the kunai hand-to-hand combat was over, the next round of exams was not started immediately, but the injured students were treated first.
Many students had white bandages or band-aids on their bodies and faces.
Of course, some people's injuries were very minor and healed on the spot.
Soon, the next round of exams began again.
It's not a survival exercise, but...a fight without rules.
Immediately, Yagyu and others began to line up to receive equipment.
These equipment include a ninja bag containing shurikens and kunai, and gloves with iron plates.
After putting on gloves and tying up the ninja bag, Yagyu and others started drawing lots again.
When everyone had drawn lots and Iruka and the female teacher arranged the numbers, their respective opponents came out.
When Yagyu saw his opponent, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Just like him, there is Uchiha Sasuke.
Immediately, Uchiha Sasuke's face showed a strong look of joy.
Yes, Yagyu's opponent is Uchiha Sasuke!
Finally a match!
Yagyu's current mood was the same as Uchiha Sasuke's.
In the past few years, Yagyu could only compete with Uchiha Sasuke in quizzes and temporary exams.
But starting from the third grade exam, Yagyu never met Uchiha Sasuke again.
Moreover, although Yagyu had won all the fights in the past few years, he did not get anything out of Uchiha Sasuke.
And now, they finally matched up again, and it was still a duel without rules.
This is the most valuable showdown!
Not only Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke are full of expectations, but all the classmates, Iruka and the female teacher are also full of expectations.
They all want to know who is stronger and weaker between Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke, who are fully equipped with full firepower.
As one group decided on the winner, soon the much-anticipated showdown finally arrived.
"You will lose this time!"
In the open space, Uchiha Sasuke and Yagyu stood looking at each other.
Looking at Yagyu opposite, Uchiha Sasuke, who had zero wins against him so far, looked confident and said in a arrogant tone: "I will let you see how big the gap between our strengths is."
"I'm looking forward to it, and I hope you won't disappoint me."
Liu Sheng raised his two index fingers with a smile.
Uchiha Sasuke also raised his index finger and said excitedly: "You will not be disappointed!"
"Unruled duel, group 7, Yagyu VS Uchiha Sasuke, the battle... begins!"
Seeing that both of them had formed the Seal of Opposition, Iruka blew the whistle without any nonsense.
