Chapter 62 - Fire VS Wind

"But even with these eyes, it's not enough."

With Kiyoshi's insight, he easily captured Asuma.

If we're just talking about the function of the view, the Byakugan has X-ray vision, a 360-degree field of view, and long-distance vision.

Meanwhile, the Sharingan has unparalleled dynamic visual acuity.

Bang!

Kiyoshi's slender sword blocked Asuma's serrated blade.

The two collided, and wind and fire fused together.

The wind aided the fire, and in an instant, the flame expanded into a large ball, like a dazzling firecracker.

"Sharingan!?"

Asuma was stunned, feeling the heat rushing towards his face.

He thought he had seen a flash of scarlet in Kiyoshi's eyes just now.

Unfortunately, it was extremely fast, and he didn't catch it, so he wasn't sure if he was just seeing things.

That's not right!

Asuma's gaze sharpened.

How could Kiyoshi know this move?

Without a doubt, this is... Chakra Flow.

Seeing Asuma's puzzled and surprised expression, Kiyoshi exerted force with his wrist.

Clang!

Asuma's chakra blade was knocked into the air.

There were obvious scratches on the surface of his fingers, as if the skin was about to break.

Among the eight ninja values in the official data books, Strength is one of them.

Strength is the ninja's wrist strength, leg strength, and whole-body muscle strength, etc.

With the dual bloodline of the Yotsuki clan and the Uchiha clan, Kiyoshi's strength was greater than Asuma's.

The current Asuma is still a skinny young man, not the future bearded tough guy.

Of course, even as an adult, Kiyoshi didn't think Asuma could surpass him in strength.

After all, the Yotsuki clan was able to survive in a harsh and severe environment.

They had long been rigorously selected by nature.

All those with poor physical genes had already died in history, and those who remained had the best genes.

The pain in Asuma's hand quickly transmitted to his brain through his nerves, bringing him back to his senses from his surprise. They were still in battle.

Asuma gritted his teeth and swung the chakra blade in his other hand to stab at Kiyoshi, while simultaneously having his free hand assist by forming hand seals.

The light blue blade of the chakra blade became even brighter, emitting a hissing sound.

Kiyoshi smiled slightly.

The future Flying Swallow, huh?

Flying Swallow does not refer to Asuma's chakra blades, but rather the wind chakra attached to the chakra blades.

Like a pair of wings spread out by a flying swallow, the swords emit two dazzling beams of light in close combat.

Although it's not as developed as it will be in the future, it is already in the stages of a prototype.

"Well then, I'll join in too."

Kiyoshi also has a move called Swift Bird.

It's just that it doesn't have fancy special effects.

It's just a technique for applying force and accelerating chakra movement, making the user's speed particularly fast.

At this moment, Kiyoshi also moved.

The sword emitting fiery red heat waves seemed to disappear before Asuma's eyes.

That oppressive high temperature also suddenly disappeared.

A warning bell rang loudly in Asuma's heart.

It's coming!

Asuma felt the airflow, but he didn't have time to react.

The tactile sensation on his hand made Asuma feel like he had crashed into a solid mountain rock.

Kiyoshi, who had suddenly gotten close to him appeared to be quickly moving away.

Kiyoshi seemed to be moving further and further away from him..

Asuma's pupils constricted. It wasn't that Kiyoshi was moving further and further away from him.

Actually, he was the one going away.

Bang!

It was as if Asuma was holding not a chakra blade in his hand, but a heavy lead ball, carrying Asuma's body backwards.

Crack!

The tree behind him caught Asuma's body, and rough bark cracked with spider web-like patterns.

His right hand, which was originally holding the chakra blade, was already embedded in the tree trunk.

"Asuma..."

Kurenai's eyes widened.

Just now, one person was holding a fiery red sword, and the other was holding a light blue chakra blade.

In just one exchange, Asuma had one chakra blade knocked away.

Then after a blur of the sword in Kiyoshi's hand, Asuma fell backwards.

Is this the foundation of a great ninja clan?

Kurenai felt that it was completely different from her time at ninja school.

"You have acquired the trait [Wind Release Seed (White)]."

[Wind Release Seed (White)]

[Requirements: Use Fire Release to restrain Wind Release and defeat Sarutobi Asuma's Flying Swallow.]

[Progress: Completed]

[Effect: Your chakra strengthens the nature transformation of Wind Release, and you can also gain Wind Chakra nature.]

[Note: Can be upgraded.]

'Wind chakra nature?'

Kiyoshi was slightly stunned. This can save him years of training.

The trait panel recognized the prototype Flying Swallow as completed.

In that case, he can also practice some wind release ninjutsu.

Learning wind release ninjutsu will help ninjas have an advantage in any geographical environment.

Asuma's future strength was at the level of an elite jonin. He was one of Konoha's strongest wind release ninjas.

One step further, and he could have a chance to reach the so-called Kage level.

Of course, this is just a theoretical development.

In the original story, Asuma died in the hands of the Akatsuki in his thirties.

Thus, by default, he had stagnated at that moment.

If he were to face the Flying Swallow of that period, Kiyoshi didn't think it would be as easy as it was now.

"Ahem..."

Asuma was in so much pain that he couldn't even breathe.

It took a while before he could make a sound with his vocal cords.

"Kiyoshi, you're so strong, and how did you learn Chakra Flow?"

Asuma pulled his hand out of the tree trunk.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to use Chakra Flow and had gathered a lot of chakra in his hand beforehand, Asuma might have suffered a bone fracture from this alone.

At that time, he would have to lie down for a day or two even with medical ninjutsu.

But more than that, he was surprised that Kiyoshi also knew Chakra Flow.

Isn't this his consistently leading field?

Kiyoshi had quietly caught up to him in this as well.

"Because I'm a genius."

Kiyoshi said, touching his chin.

It's normal for the Uchiha clan to produce geniuses.

It's just that in this process, he also had some help from the trait panel.

This reason left Asuma speechless.

He silently stood up and put the chakra blade that had been knocked away earlier back into his bag.

Kurenai said, "Kiyoshi, I haven't seen you practicing with this."

Kurenai walked over gracefully and pointed to the sword in Kiyoshi's hand.

The flame on it had already faded, leaving a dark red afterglow that gradually dissipated.

Kiyoshi said, "I practiced after you left."

"Is that so?"

Kurenai nodded upon hearing this.

When Kiyoshi was with her, they always communicated about genjutsu and practiced it together.

There really wasn't much time to practice other things.

"Asuma, you're very strong. It's just that I had the advantage as fire restrains wind."

"Otherwise, the outcome would be hard to say. I estimate that there's a high probability that we can pass this Chunin Exam."

"Let's participate together. Kurenai's genjutsu also meets the standard."

Kiyoshi turned to look at Asuma and said.

The five elements ninjutsu mutually restrain each other.

Fire release just happens to restrain wind release.
