These were two considerably unimportant and insignificant figures, and their match was also considerably ordinary and unremarkable, and was mostly just a taijutsu-based battle, and they didn't even use ninjutsu very much, and was completely different from the exciting and brilliant battle from the first match.
The second match ultimately ended with the Leaf Village ninja being victorious, but neither of the combatants left too much of an impression on the people who were watching the battle.
And then immediately afterwards, the matches continued to proceed, and most of the matches between the Genin were ones where the two sides were going back and forth with each other, and of course, there were some ninjas who were exceptions to this.
Shin used his Ink Binding Technique to bind and restrain his opponent, and his opponent was unable to break free, and was only able to surrender.
And Hozuki Mangetsu didn't possess Shin's kind heart, and he directly used his twin swords to smash his opponent into the ground below, causing his opponent to almost meet King Yama, and fortunately, the Leaf Village medical team who were on standby were able to save his life.
.....
And after yet another match, Asuma stood in the center of the competition arena and announced: "First round, twenty-fifth match: Leaf Village, Uchiha Kaoru VS Hidden Stone Village, Kurotsuchi!"
As those words fell, the gazes of the audience once again focused on Kurotsuchi, and they didn't pay too much attention to Kaoru, and after the previous matches, they had all found a pattern, and that was that whenever the Genin from the other great nations were competing, they would all very quickly take care of their opponents.
Hozuki Mangetsu was like this, and the Hidden Cloud Village Genin was also like this, and now it was the Hidden Stone Village's Kurotsuchi, and another point was because Kurotsuchi was a cute little girl who had short black hair, and would naturally receive more attention from people.
"Kaoru, do your best!" Hina quietly cheered for Kaoru from the side, and Kaoru nodded his head, and walked into the competition arena.
On the other side, Kurotsuchi also walked in.
"Kakashi, is this the opponent that you arranged for that Uchiha kid? It's actually a little girl?" The Third Hokage asked with a tone of doubt.
"Lord Hokage, do not underestimate that Hidden Stone Village little girl, she is the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage, and is also the Tsuchikage's disciple, and possesses the Lava Release kekkei genkai, and her strength is much more powerful than the average Genin." Kakashi said, and reported the information that he had investigated to the Third Hokage.
"I see....." The Third Hokage nodded his head, "The Third Tsuchikage's disciple, and she also possesses a kekkei genkai, she truly is a genius, and if that's the case, then this match is going to be interesting."
"It appears that my prediction has come true, and I truly am going to fight against you." Within the arena, Kurotsuchi looked at the Kaoru who was opposite to her with a smiling face.
"Yes." Kaoru also responded with a smile.
"I'll say this first, even if you are handsome, I won't show any mercy." Kurotsuchi said with a cunning tone.
"Likewise, I also won't hold back just because you're a pretty little girl." Kaoru also said it like that.
"Just what are those two whispering to each other over there, it feels so annoying." Hina thought to herself with a frown on her face while on the viewing platform.
"The match is now beginning!" Asuma, who was serving as the referee, gave a command, announcing that this battle had officially begun!
Kurotsuchi's face, which had originally been smiling, instantly became serious, and she retreated backwards by a step or two, and lightly raised her eyes, and placed both of her hands into her ninja tool pouch, and with a backhanded wave, instantly, every single one of her fingers was gripping a shuriken, and she had gripped a total of eight shuriken.
"Shuu shuu shuu!"
Kurotsuchi moved her hands, and the sharp shuriken shot out from her hands, transforming into eight rays of light, and shot straight towards Kaoru's brain and heart!
"Sharingan!" Kaoru directly activated his Sharingan, and marked out Kurotsuchi's HP and chakra quantity, and also saw through the trajectories of all of the shuriken, and with a flick of his hand, his right hand already had a kunai in it.
Then, Kaoru's right hand moved up and down, and his body also cleverly changed directions, and directly dodged three of them, and the remaining five were also directly knocked away by him one by one using his kunai.
Although all of Kurotsuchi's shuriken had been dodged by Kaoru, her face, however, didn't have even the slightest hint of dejection, and instead revealed an excited smile.
"Have another one!" Kurotsuchi waved her left hand, and shot yet another shuriken at Kaoru, and then she stomped her feet, and her body instantly disappeared.
"How fast!"
On the viewing platform, many of the candidates' pupils contracted slightly, and Kurotsuchi's figure had disappeared in just an instant, and this speed had already caused their eyes to be unable to react.
Then, just as the shuriken that Kurotsuchi had thrown was about to fly in front of Kaoru, her figure, however, had already appeared behind Kaoru!
"You were too careless, a pincer attack from the front and back, let's see what you're going to do?!"
"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique!"
Kurotsuchi chuckled softly, and her right fist was enveloped with grey-colored rocks, and smashed towards Kaoru's back.
"That Hidden Stone Village little girl truly does have some skill!" The Third Hokage said with a tone of admiration while on the viewing platform.
And Kaoru, however, wore a calm expression, and he didn't even turn around to look at Kurotsuchi's movements, and faced with the shuriken that was flying over, he merely tilted his head slightly.
"Shuu!" The shuriken flew past Kaoru's ear.
And this shuriken, after passing over Kaoru, was actually shooting towards the Kurotsuchi behind him.
"Crap!" Kurotsuchi cried out inwardly, and she hadn't expected that the shuriken that she had thrown would actually cause problems for herself.
Without any other choice, she waved her right fist, and suddenly changed the trajectory, no longer attacking Kaoru, and instead knocked away the shuriken that was flying over!
"You were too careless." Kaoru repeated Kurotsuchi's words, and then kicked his leg out.
"Bang!" Kaoru's right foot heavily kicked onto Kurotsuchi's abdomen, and Kurotsuchi grunted softly, and her body flew backwards like a kite with its string cut, and fell onto the ground.
At the same time, Kaoru also retracted his foot.
From start to finish, his expression hadn't changed in the slightest, and he was composed and self-possessed.
"Cough cough!" Kurotsuchi struggled to get up from the ground, and rubbed her abdomen, and wore a look of displeasure, and she had originally wanted to use a pincer attack against Kaoru, causing him to be unable to focus on dealing with the two attacks from the front and back, but she hadn't expected that Kaoru would actually borrow strength and use it against her, and had completely utilized her own technique.
The first time that the two sides had directly clashed, it was already vaguely possible to see just how this match would end up.
The Genin on the viewing platform were in an uproar, and even they hadn't expected that the situation would actually reverse so quickly.
Kurotsuchi's pincer attack didn't have even the slightest effect, and Kaoru tilted his head, and kicked his leg out, and had completely dissolved everything that she had done previously.
With just two moves!
"Hmm, Kakashi, it appears that you were correct, this Uchiha kid truly does possess combat talent, and he knows how to use the smallest movements to obtain the greatest benefits, and doesn't have any unnecessary movements at all."
The Third Hokage's gaze was sharp and piercing, and was tightly focused on Kaoru's figure within the arena, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and that fellow, truly was just like Uchiha Itachi.
