Feng Zheng immediately threw a Wind Blast Technique at Rintaro.
“How cliché,” Rintaro muttered.
He threw a kunai with an Exploding Tag attached.
Both Rintaro and Feng Zheng quickly retreated. The Exploding Tag exploded, dispersing the Wind Blast Technique and creating a large amount of smoke.
As Rintaro retreated, he released a large amount of Chakra. He made several Hand Seals and performed the Water Dragon Technique.
He had expected Feng Zheng to attack, but he didn't. He wondered, “What is he doing?”
As the water dragon formed, the smoke from the explosion cleared.
However, Rintaro could no longer see Feng Zheng. He felt a little worried, thinking, “Did that bastard escape underground again?”
He immediately looked at Sakai Yumi in the waiting room.
As soon as Sakai Yumi noticed him looking, she looked towards the forest. Rintaro followed her gaze to the forest.
He noticed Feng Zheng standing nonchalantly on a tree branch.
Before the match started, Rintaro had asked Sakai Yumi to tell him where Feng Zheng was, especially if he was hiding underground or had created many clones.
Sakai Yumi agreed.
Rintaro frowned, thinking, “When did that bastard get over there? He's still a hundred meters away! I thought I was the one who needed to keep my distance from his sword. So why is he creating distance instead?”
As soon as Feng Zheng felt Rintaro's Chakra strengthening, he Body Flickered into the forest behind him. He looked at the water dragon and sneered.
“Oh, a ten-meter-long water dragon. For a Water Dragon Technique, that size is quite impressive. It seems he invested five percent of his Chakra into it. I had hoped he would invest more Chakra out of anger.”
Rintaro manipulated the water dragon to fly towards Feng Zheng. As it had to move such a long distance, its size began to shrink.
Feng Zheng raised his right hand and began to create a huge Feng Bao Qiu (Wind Burst Ball). He smiled smugly.
“Hmm, it's time to make him angrier. I hope he'll use an even bigger Ninjutsu.”
He threw the huge Feng Bao Qiu (Wind Burst Ball) at the water dragon's mouth. It exploded on impact, and the resulting wind dispelled the Ninjutsu.
Ibiki smiled at the sight.
“Impressive, neutralizing a Rank B Ninjutsu with a Rank D ninjutsu, while also disrupting the opponent's mental state.”
As Ibiki said, Rintaro looked annoyed. In an instant, even ordinary people could feel the immense Chakra emanating from him.
Hodaka and Mieko activated their ocular Ninjutsu to observe Rintaro. Feng Zheng sneered.
“Heh heh. Just as I expected.”
However, contrary to what Feng Zheng and most people thought, Rintaro had not actually lost his composure. He analyzed, “I spent a whole month practicing how to attack you from a distance. Since you've taken the initiative to create distance, I don't have to worry about your sword.”
Rintaro made several Hand Seals. He performed Water Release: Violent Flood Technique!
A massive amount of water appeared before him, reaching twenty meters high! All the Konoha Ninja were stunned! Genma commented, “That's a Rank A Ninjutsu! Is he still a Genin?”
Feng Zheng was also surprised. He wondered, “Who exactly is this guy? Is he Kisame's son?”
The wave surged towards Feng Zheng at an extremely fast speed. Anyone who saw it would feel a tsunami approaching.
The wave was about 15 meters high and wide enough to cover all the trees in the Arena.
Four kunai appeared in Feng Zheng's hand. At the same time, he began to gather Chakra.
Feng Zheng threw the four kunai at equal distances. They hit the wave 5 meters above the ground and exploded.
The explosions slowed the wave's momentum, but it continued to advance towards Feng Zheng.
Feng Zheng made a Hand Seal, pretending to need one. He performed Wind Release: Great Breakthrough Technique.
Feng Zheng amplified his Ninjutsu by 3% of his maximum Chakra, producing a huge and incredibly powerful wind.
These strong winds stopped the wave and even reversed its flow to some extent.
The strong winds also carried some water into the stands, providing most of the audience with a free cold shower.
Some audience members were very annoyed and started shouting. Others cheered excitedly at the sight of such a massive Ninjutsu.
Most of the Konoha Chunin and Jonin were speechless at seeing such a massive Ninjutsu performed and defended so easily.
Renjiro smiled at Feng Zheng's performance.
Rintaro, who was hiding inside the wave, planning a surprise attack on Feng Zheng under its cover, suddenly stopped. He was shocked, “I expected this Ninjutsu wouldn't hurt him, but I never expected him to stop it completely! The water didn't even enter the forest!”
Rintaro stayed in the water until the wind stopped. He frowned, pondering how to continue his attack.
Rintaro had already consumed more than a third of his Chakra, yet he hadn't even touched his opponent. He thought, remaining highly vigilant in case Feng Zheng launched a sneak attack.
Feng Zheng noticed Rintaro advancing while hiding in the water; his Chakra was easily detectable.
He closely watched Rintaro's position, thinking, “It will be difficult to attack him while he's surrounded by water. But his offensive momentum has been broken. Should I launch an attack and build my momentum? Or should I stall for time and wait for his Chakra to run out?”
Feng Zheng thought as he waited for his attack to dissipate.
Perhaps, if it had been before this month of combat training with Renjiro, Feng Zheng would have chosen the latter without hesitation.
However, Renjiro had successfully changed Feng Zheng's way of thinking and fighting during this month.
Renjiro couldn't change Feng Zheng's cautious nature, but Feng Zheng had now also learned many offensive methods while ensuring his safety.
More importantly, Feng Zheng's confidence had been built by fighting an Elite Jonin for a month!
Feng Zheng made a Hand Seal and began to amplify his Ninjutsu.
As soon as the wind stopped, Feng Zheng Body Flickered!
He appeared ten meters above Rintaro. The water level in that area was up to 4 meters above the ground. Rintaro was in its center.
Renjiro smiled, seeing Feng Zheng continue his attack.
Rintaro noticed Feng Zheng as soon as he appeared above him. He also saw the Hand Seals Feng Zheng made. He shouted, “Oh no!!!”
Feng Zheng instantly unleashed an even more powerful Great Breakthrough Technique.
Rintaro waved his arms. The water around him immediately gathered above him, acting as a shield.
His thoughts raced like lightning, thinking, “I can't dodge! If I leave the protection of the water, I'll take the full force of this attack!”
The strong winds easily broke through the water, and most of the water began to scatter. Inoichi Yamanaka, who was observing, suddenly became alert. He shouted, “Feng Zheng, stop!”
He advanced while making Hand Seals. However, he was too slow!
The super powerful Great Breakthrough Technique hit Rintaro head-on! Just before the Ninjutsu hit him, he quickly made a Hand Seal.
Everyone watched in horror as Rintaro was cut into many small pieces! Many people screamed in terror! Some vomited, and some even lost consciousness.
Feng Zheng's eyes also widened.
