Although he already knew from Garashi that Summer Summer could fly, Asma still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Maybe Summer Summer could only fly a few meters above the ground? Or maybe she could only fly up and down in a straight line?
But now it seems that Summer Star's flying is not only unlimited, but her flying skills are also very flexible.
In a situation where his opponent had the air advantage, his next match would undoubtedly be very difficult.
Facing the ninja from another village, Ibixi showed a rare concern, "Asma, are you confident?"
Asma flipped his hair, "Not at all!"
Ibixi's mouth twitched, "Then why do you look so confident?"
Asuma gave him a sideways glance. "I'm a man who can 'die' 12 times in a minute. This little bit of pressure is nothing to me. If you have the ability, let her kill me in a second like Shushi!"
Ibixi instantly retreated, muttering to himself, "So as long as I don't feel any pressure, nothing can defeat me?"
The next few matches were not interesting to watch, and soon, the tournament entered the third round.
The first match was enough to excite the audience.
Because this match was between the most 'hidden' Sand Crypsis, Marky, and the most talented Wood Leaf, Garashi.
"Marky was still hiding his strength in the previous two matches, this time, he will finally show his true strength, right?"
"Yes, it seems that his previous hiding was all for this moment!"
"This must be a high-level match, don't blink!"
Compared to the excitement of the audience, the Sand Crypsis camp was silent.
"Brother Marky, rest in peace!"
"Be strong!"
"It's okay, it's not shameful to lose!"
Marky's face darkened, if it weren't for you bastards talking nonsense, the people outside wouldn't have praised him so much.
Jonin Zhong Liang comforted her, "Use your doppelganger and close your eyes the whole time. Try not to be affected by his genjutsu and hold on for a little longer. With Yunin and Kirin at the bottom, you won't lose too badly."
Marky smiled bitterly. He was considered a genius in the Sand Crypsis, and he had cultivated for a few more years than them. But when he came here, he realized that there were too many geniuses in this world. Now, even his teacher only wanted him to hold on a little longer.
"Fortunately, we still have the Rock Crypsis at the bottom." Marky felt a little comforted at this thought.
The two of them entered the arena.
Seeing Garashi's calm expression, Marky's breathing quickened. Only by standing here could he truly understand the pressure Empress Shōmei and the others had to endure.
When the referee announced the start of the match, Marky subconsciously closed his eyes, and then created sand clones, shooting shurikens at Garashi from all directions.
While Garashi nimbly dodged, his hands didn't stop making hand seals.
Genjutsu: Sanskrit!
In just one second, Markey stopped attacking with a look of great realization. Then, he fell straight down.
He didn't even struggle like Empress Shōmei!
Seeing this situation, the kages on the stage weren't surprised.
After Empress Shōmei was defeated by a genjutsu, they knew what the result would be.
But even so, they were still a little shocked. "What a monster, it seems that only Yunin and Yūki can defeat him!"
However, the audience on the stage was in an uproar.
"That's it? That's it? Who said that this would be a fierce battle? "
"I really can't blink, I just blinked once, I don't know how that Sand Crypsis Marky lost."
However, some "pure passersby" spread the news under the arrangement of a certain kage.
"You still don't understand? Of course, Marky deliberately fell for the genjutsu in order to preserve Shimizu Garashi's strength! "
"Sand Crypsis ninja, let's be honest, Marky definitely went easy on him!"
"The Sand Crypsis merchants came uninvited for thirty years, Marky must still be hiding his strength!"
Hearing these explanations, the audience finally understood.
"No wonder he fell for the genjutsu even with his eyes closed!"
"Hiss! It seems that Sand Crypsis has really allied with Wood Leaf! "
Amidst these exclamations of surprise and suspicion, the referee slowly announced:
"The winner of the first match of the third round is Wood Leaf Shimizu Garashi. The second match, Wood Leaf Asma VS Hidden Star Summer Star!"
Asma rubbed his fists and jumped down, looking at his opponent provocatively. "Don't think that you'll win just because you can fly!"
Summer Star shook his head slightly. "You're very strong, even if I use the secret flying technique, I only have a small chance of winning."
The battle began.
Asuma held the Chakra Blade and quickly rushed to the opposite side, wanting to take advantage of the fact that Xia Rixing has not yet flown into the air and shoot her down.
However, Summer Star saw through his intentions and used a mimicry attack to block him for a moment, while she herself took the opportunity to fly into the sky.
"How troublesome!" Asma finished the cigarette in his mouth in one breath, then spat out a thick cloud of ash.
Fire Release: Ash Accumulation Burn!
Suddenly, a thick cloud of ash enveloped the entire arena. Summer Star was unable to determine Asma's position, so he could only fly in the sky to avoid being treated as a live target.
At this moment, the cloud of ash burned fiercely, stirring up a tornado of flames that swallowed Summer Star.
At the same time, Summer Star quickly flew away, and controlled a Chakra Dragon to knock away the fire tornado.
* Boom! *
The explosion of flames shot in all directions, and then a Chakra Blade spun out of the flames and shot towards Summer Star.
"He can actually control a ninja tool from such a distance!" Summer Star sighed in her heart. Under her control, the mimicry Chakra Dragon turned into a wall of light that blocked the Chakra Blade.
"It's not over yet!" After a loud roar, another tornado rose into the sky.
But what was different this time was that Asuma had pushed himself forward.
"Is this the final battle?" Summer Star reluctantly split off another Chakra Dragon and rushed towards Asma.
She had to maintain her wings of light while condensing a wall of light to block, and now she had to control a third Chakra Dragon. This was already her limit.
However, Asuma, who was constantly shouting, was bitten by the Chakra Dragon and turned into smoke with a "bang" sound.
"This is … a Shadow Clone? Then his real body is … "Summer Star was shocked and hurriedly looked down at the arena.
At this moment, a slight sound of something breaking through the air came from behind her.
"… It's that Chakra Blade!" Summer Star was still at a disadvantage due to her lack of experience. Only now did she realize where the problem was.
Asma, who had returned to his original form, broke through the wall of light and grabbed the Chakra Blade towards Summer Star.
Whoosh!
Because he couldn't borrow any force from the air, Asma's attack only managed to cut a small part of Summer Star's sleeve before falling down.
But even so, Summer Star was still scared out of her wits. "Too strong, as expected of Wood Leaf's genius ninja!"
Just as Summer Star was preparing for Asma's next attack, she saw Asma shrug. "Alright, I admit defeat."
Summer Star was shocked. "Wait, shouldn't I be the one at a disadvantage now?"
"I've already used all the anti-air attacks I can think of, so there's no need to continue fighting." Asma said this, but in his heart, he thought, I'm not stupid. If I really won, wouldn't I have to face Garashi?
