Chapter 17: A Rematch Against Minato Namikaze - A No-Rules Showdown
in the afternoon.
The fourth-year students, who had already completed the shuriken throwing and survival drills, returned to the playground and stood in their class's area.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the fourth graders are no longer standing in a circle as in the first stage, but rather spread out in two rows with a large empty space in the middle.
As the teacher called roll, students walked out of the crowd one by one, then returned to their groups with a mixture of joy and disappointment.
Those with serious injuries were first treated by medical ninjas.
"Group 13, Kushina Uzumaki VS Eriko."
As battles ended one after another.
In the fourth grade, class one area, teacher Yuya called out the list of the next group.
Upon hearing her opponent's name, Eriko's face turned pale.
The students around her looked at her with pity.
In just three months, the students of Class 1, Grade 4, have had a completely different impression of Kushina Uzumaki.
With Gojo Yoru's protection, Kushina Uzumaki not only avoided the bullying in the original story, but also bullied those who had mocked her.
That terrifying strength was so great that even Gojo Yoru, who had developed prematurely, almost vomited up his dinner after taking a punch from it.
Needless to say, the others are even less likely to be included.
In every practical assessment, those matched with Kushina Uzumaki were beaten to their knees and vomited.
In more serious cases, some people even fainted on the spot.
So, besides Gojo Yoru, the students in Class 1 now have another opponent they don't want to face.
"T-Teacher, can I admit defeat?" Eriko raised her hand, her voice trembling slightly.
"no."
Yu Ye sternly reprimanded, "The practical assessment is not only a simulation of life-or-death battles, but also a chance for you to experience the joy and achievement of victory, as well as the frustration and resentment of defeat. These experiences will enhance your physical and mental strength. Therefore, I don't want to hear you admit defeat again. Do you understand?"
With his last words, Yuya's eyes sharpened as he glared fiercely at the entire class.
"yes!"
The students who were glanced at by Yuya immediately stood up straight and responded loudly.
So Eriko could only walk out with a long face.
Kushina Uzumaki showed no mercy to the guy who had once mocked her, instantly teleporting over and killing him with a single punch.
The delicate Eriko was punched so hard that her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Yuya's lips twitched slightly.
Goodness, just how much hatred does this person have?
It's been months, and they haven't even given me a chance to reconnect the seal of reconciliation. It's like they have no intention of forgiving me!
Because of Kushina's special status, Yuya didn't dare to scold or lecture her. He could only give a look to the medical ninja next to him, asking him to bring Eriko over for treatment.
"The battle is over, and the winner is Kushina Uzumaki."
After announcing the results, Yuya continued reading the list for the next group.
"Group 14: Minato Namikaze vs. Yoru Gojo!"
Upon hearing these two names, all the students' eyes lit up.
"Finally, we've matched again. This time, there's going to be a good show."
"We'll get to see Minato and Yoru fight again. If I remember correctly, the last time they clashed was in the first semester of their third year."
"When we're matched with them, we always get instantly killed. I wonder how much their skills have improved in the past year?"
"Go Minato! You have to win this time!"
"Minato, please avenge us." (whispering)
"..."
Kushina Uzumaki looked annoyed as she watched her classmates cheering for Minato Namikaze.
Upon returning to the team, she immediately patted Gojou on the shoulder and shouted, "Gojou, teach that sissy a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze, who was already looking embarrassed, immediately gave a bitter smile. Only Yoru Gojo knew how much of a blow he had suffered.
Gojo Yoru didn't speak, but walked to the open space and stood to the left of Professor Yuya.
Minato Namikaze then moved to the right and stood facing Yoru Gojo.
Looking at these two outstanding students, Yuya's eyes were filled with anticipation as he shouted, "Please form the opposing hand seals!"
Gojo Yoru and Namikaze Minato both raised a sword finger and said in unison, "Nice to meet you!"
"Battle begins!"
Yuya raised his arm high, then swung it down forcefully, while stepping back to give the space to the two top fourth-year students and the second-place student.
Unlike those classmates who rushed towards each other as soon as the signal sounded.
Gojo Yoru and Namikaze Minato did not attack each other immediately, but stared at each other, their gazes meeting as if sparks were about to fly.
Suddenly, Gojo Yoru spoke up, "Shall we have a no-rules duel?"
Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.
Looking at Gojo Yoru's eyes, which were full of fighting spirit, he couldn't help but recall the slightly regretful look in Gojo Yoru's eyes after their last encounter.
That was an expression that had never been seen on anyone else, not even when fighting Kushina Uzumaki.
Gojo Yoru seems to value himself a lot?
Thinking about how the other person had won the favor of the girl he had such a good impression of, the gentle-natured Minato Namikaze suddenly felt a desire to prove himself. His emotions, which were rarely seen, flared up, and his eyes flashed with fighting spirit as he said, "Fine, I have no objection."
Gojo Yoru's lips curled slightly, then he turned to Yuya and said, "Yuya-sensei, I would like to request a no-rules duel."
Minato Namikaze nodded to Yuya in agreement.
"this……"
Yu was somewhat at a loss, looking troubled.
"Let's agree to their request, and let everyone witness the power of a genius." The medical ninja beside him smiled. "Besides, with the two of us here, nothing will happen."
Even the most talented genius without a bloodline limit is already quite remarkable if they can use a C-rank Five Elements Escape Technique.
Some veteran genin probably only have this much strength.
But for a Chunin, this level of strength is not enough.
As long as this is prevented in advance, this medical ninja doesn't think anything unexpected will happen.
Yu also thought it made a lot of sense.
He then nodded to Gojo Yoru and Minato Namikaze, his expression serious, and said, "You are granted permission to use any means necessary. Do not hold back. If any danger arises, we will intervene to stop the match."
After saying that, Yuya addressed the two rows of students, "Everyone, step back five meters again."
"Gurgle!"
The students were so stunned by the atmosphere that they were speechless.
Everyone swallowed hard and stepped back in unison, watching the two on the field with tense expressions.
At this moment, everyone could feel that there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them and the two people on the field.
That's not just a difference in level, but an insurmountable chasm that's destined to be insurmountable!
