The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 80 Obito vs Asuma (First Order)
When Hideki came out because he heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from outside the window, Asuma and Obito had been fighting for quite a while.

"Obito, come on!"

"Asuma, you have to work hard too!"

Seeing Kai excitedly cheering for both sides, Hideki stepped forward and asked:

"Why are these two guys fighting?"

"Hey, it's Teacher Hideki!"

Akai gave a thumbs up and said:

"Asuma simply accepted the call of youth and decided to have a hearty duel with Obito."

Akai was not lying because he really believed it.

However, seeing Asuma's gritting teeth, Hideki was somewhat skeptical.

But he didn't say anything. He just smiled and started watching the show.

However, Asuma on the field began to feel anxious when he saw Mr. Hideki coming.

Because he had already discovered from Kagami's cheering that his opponent was actually this kid Obito.

No wonder I got so angry when I heard him speak just now!

You have to know that this kid is obviously a loser, but he relies on the special training he received from his teacher and is better at playing with pocket puppet beasts, so he always goes against me.

I have disliked him for a long time!

So when Asuma discovered the other person's identity, he was actually overjoyed.

It's a good opportunity to settle all the new and old grudges together and use this kid to vent the depression in my heart.

The original script was still good up to this point.

But Asuma never expected that Obito would be so tough.

He clearly had the advantage in physical skills and had hit Obito several times.

But I don’t know what’s wrong with this kid. Every time he gets hit, he seems to be unhurt and even takes the opportunity to fight back.

So even though I had a big advantage, I still couldn't defeat him.

Now that the teacher is here, Asuma becomes even more impatient, fearing that he will be put on the same level as Obito.

Looks like we need to get serious...

Asuma's movements suddenly became more fierce.

If before it was still the usual sparring mode between classmates, now he has switched to actual combat mode.

Anyway, with the teacher watching, he wasn't worried about hurting Obito.

Knee and elbow! Turn and kick! Kick the chin!

Asuma is serious about his moves and should not be underestimated. Although he still has some room for maneuver, a series of scary-looking attacks began to make Obito retreat step by step.

Akai on the sidelines was watching the game intently and didn't even have time to cheer for either side.

Because it seems that if Obito receives a few more moves, he won't be able to withstand it.

Hideki naturally saw this, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly said:

"Obito, take off your helmet."

Upon hearing this, Obito quickly jumped back a few steps and said in a surprised voice:

"Teacher, can I really take off my helmet?"

These past few days, he had been wearing helmets almost every time he practiced with Akai, and he had even forgotten that there was an option to take them off.

Hideki looked at Asuma with a smile and said:

"I see you guys are playing so seriously, so why not just go all out."

"Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if Asuma won."

"..."

Asuma looked at Obito's helmet suspiciously.

From what the teacher said, this strange helmet actually has side effects?
And Obito actually wore this thing and fought with me for so long?
Seeing that Obito seemed to be looking over, Asuma snorted coldly and said:

"If you want to pick them, pick them quickly. Don't make excuses later if you lose!"

"You are the one who should stop crying when you lose!"

Obito retorted, then took off his helmet and threw it to Kai.

Hideki had already taught him how to unlock it so that he could practice at home.

Then Obito shook his head, shaking off all the sweat from his hair and face, and then he took a deep breath with a refreshed look on his face.

It was the first time that Asuma saw someone inhale more freely than his father smoked a pipe, and he became more and more curious about the helmet. "Are you ready? If you are, let's restart the battle."

Hideki naturally took on the job of referee, but he said one more thing to Obito:
"By the way, Obito, if you still have energy left, why not try to maintain the same breathing technique as before during the battle and see if there are any surprises."

"The breathing technique from before..."

Obito scratched his head, feeling a little confused.

Isn't this technique used to practice the Great Fireball Technique? Why should it be used alone in battle?

But to be honest, except when he was wearing a helmet or hung upside down, he almost never used this strenuous breathing method on purpose, which made Obito curious about his teacher's intentions.

then……

"call--"

Obito began to exhale a long breath, and at the same time his abdomen began to contract inward suddenly, and the contraction position continued to spread upward to the chest cavity, as if to expel all the air deposited at the bottom of the abdomen.

then……

"hiss--"

Obito began to breathe in deeply, sucking the surrounding air into his body with an overwhelming force. His originally sunken chest and abdomen gradually recovered.

Then, Obito exhaled again...

This was repeated several times.

Humph, you are trying to be mysterious!

Asuma pouted.

Because he didn't believe that simply changing the way he breathed could bring about much of a change to Obito.

However, Asuma noticed a gust of air blowing from Obito from time to time.

But he didn't care and thought it was just a gust of wind.

Otherwise, would Obito blow his breath into his face from ten meters away?
It wasn't long before Obito seemed to have gotten the hang of breathing this way without his helmet on, though he didn't feel much of a difference for the time being.

"Are you done?" Asuma asked impatiently.

Obito originally wanted to ask the teacher what was going on, but he had to suppress the thought.

Because he was afraid that speaking would disrupt his breathing rhythm, he just nodded and gave Asuma a provocative look.

After taking a closer look at Obito's condition, Hideki raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said loudly:
"Well, let's resume the battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Asuma gathered his chakra at the soles of his feet and rushed forward, intending to catch Obito off guard.

If his opponent was the usual Obito, he would most likely succeed.

However, this time, for some reason, Obito found that his mind seemed clearer and sharper than ever before.

Therefore, he had already sensed Asuma's intentions the moment he bent over and knelt, and he quickly thought of a way to deal with it...

"what!"

Asuma roared, then jumped up and punched out with the force of the charge!
However, the next moment he cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

Because Obito, who was originally confused, actually showed a sly smile the moment he swung his fist, and at the same time dodged to the side at an extremely fast speed.

The punch that was originally destined to win missed, and the remaining force caused Asuma to stagger forward a few steps, leaving the door behind him wide open.

However, Obito's situation is not optimistic.

Because when he dodged, he found that his movements were faster than usual, and he almost sprained his ankle in trying to brake.

Although he escaped unharmed, the momentary panic disrupted his breathing rhythm.

Although he still didn't understand why he suddenly became stronger, Obito knew it must be related to this breathing method.

So he subconsciously adjusted his breathing rhythm and chased after Asuma.

However, Obito obviously overestimated his multi-threading ability.

While running towards Asuma, he actually began to make seals with his hands unconsciously.

Because when he usually uses this breathing method without a helmet, he is basically using the Great Fireball Technique, so it has become a conditioned reflex...

By the time he ran behind Asuma, he had already formed the final seal of the Tiger, which means the palms are closed, the thumb is erected, and the index and middle fingers are closed in a sword-like shape.

It's the Tiger Seal! Is Obito planning to use some powerful move?

Akai on the side was both expectant and worried...

Fortunately, Obito finally reacted at the last moment. No matter how hateful Asuma was, he could not use the Great Fireball Technique on him.

But seeing that Asuma, who had stumbled and missed, had regained his balance, he could no longer think too much about it.

So Obito could only keep the tiger seal with both hands in a hurry, and then stabbed Asuma's buttocks closest to him...
