Chapter 37 : The majority bullies the minority

...

Watanabe made a quick judgement.

'Would the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan beg for mercy from a stranger in advance because she was afraid of getting hurt? You know, for many ninja families, dignity is sometimes more important than life. Besides, if Hyuga Zero was really afraid of getting hurt, she could just give up when she met me as an opponent.'

"Okay, I'll go easy on you."

Watanabe answered, and at the same time made up his mind that if he met Hyuga Zero in the afternoon, he would just use a large number of advanced ninjutsu to knock her down first without thinking twice.

Hyuga Zero's smile became even sweeter when he heard this: "Thank you Watanabe-kun, Watanabe-kun is really very gentle!"

"Then I won't bother Watanabe-kun anymore. I hope to have a chance to treat you to a meal after the Test is over."

"Let's talk about it later." Watanabe said casually.

'It's impossible to have a meal with you. I'm afraid you'll want to kill me after the Test'

After leaving the ramen restaurant, a look of contempt immediately appeared on Hyuga Zero's sweet face.

'Men are all like this. Just say a few words to him and he will be bewildered. That's all.'

Hyuga Zero felt that Watanabe must be looking forward to her treating him to a meal, but he didn't know that he had completely fallen into her honey trap.

Watanabe's performance in the first two Tests was extremely good. In order to compete for the first place, Hyuga Zero was sure that the school would arrange for her to compete with him in actual competition.

She even imagined that in the ring in the afternoon, Watanabe was soft-handed in the face of her weak face, and was eventually hit back by her Bagua Air-Punching Palm and spurted blood.

"I want to win, no matter what means are used."

Hyuga Zero whispered, reaching out to touch the cloth wrapped around her forehead.

She didn't have a ninja forehead protector, so she couldn't use it to cover up the ugly caged bird mark like other branch family members. There was an extra piece of cloth on her forehead for no reason, which made her look weird no matter how anyone looked at her.

Fortunately, she had a chance to take off the cloth forever.

…

Watanabe, Jiraiya and others returned to the training ground before twelve o'clock.

The auditorium was still packed with people. The Combat test in the afternoon was the highlight, and everyone would rather miss the illusion test than miss the Combat competition between the candidates.

The huge training ground was divided into more than a dozen arenas, with the boundaries clearly marked with chalk. Everyone had heard Gekko Hayabusa introduce the rules in the morning. As long as they were knocked out of the arena boundaries, they would be considered a loser, or if they lost consciousness, they would also be considered a loser.

"Chief Tenfu, I am looking forward to your daughter's performance this afternoon." Chief Nara talked to Hyuga Tenfu and tried to get close to him. He was the one who spoke the most among all the chiefs.

"In actual combat, Zero should be able to achieve good results." Hyuga Tenfu said bluntly, and this time he was not humble.

He knew best what level his daughter was at, the Hyuga clan's soft fist technique was extremely powerful, and with Tsunade's absence, Hyuga Tenfu couldn't think of anyone in the school who could be a strong rival for Zero.

"I'm actually looking forward to that Watanabe." Chief Hatake interrupted with a smile, "So far, his performance is the best. Even if his actual combat ability is not as good as that of the daughter of the Tenfu chief, it should not be too far behind."

Hyuga Tenfu was stunned, then pondered.

'If it's that guy, we really can't look down on him.'

"Which ninja clan is Watanabe from?"

Uchiha Chiri suddenly asked. She was still bothered by the fact that Watanabe was immune to her illusion and she began to pay special attention to him.

"Don't you know about this, Chiri?" The Hatake clan leader was surprised and explained, "Watanabe is just a civilian. Both his parents died in the First Great Ninja War, but he and Tsunade are very close."

Chiri immediately understood what was said. At this age, they are already in a relationship with each other...

She had a very strange feeling. She had been single for thirty years. Watanabe and Tsunade were still just children, right?

'Illusions don't work on you. How far can you go in actual combat?'

Chiri cleared her mind and her eyes were like a scope, accurately fixed on the black-haired boy in the crowd.

…

"Jiraiya and Yuihime head to ring number one."

Gekko Hayabusa galloped and recited the pre-prepared combat list.

"Hyuga Zero and Sakuto Mai are heading to the No. 2 ring."

"Orochimaru and Sakurajima are heading to ring number three."

"…"

As the Gekko Hayabusa rushed to read the announcement, the number of people around Watanabe became smaller and smaller. Just as he was about to go to the arena where Jiraiya was, to watch the fight -

"Watanabe and Inuzuka Kiba are heading to ring number eight."

'Inuzuka Kiba?

This guy again.'

Watanabe recalled the scene of beating Inuzuka kiba violently in the grove half a year ago.

'He couldn't beat me half a year ago, and he was even less able to beat me half a year later. The gap between us would only get bigger and bigger.'

When Watanabe arrived at ring No. 8, Inuzuka Kiba was already waiting for him there, with a familiar green-haired puppy lying on his head.

"Watanabe, are you surprised? Your first opponent is me!"

Inuzuka Kiba said with a scorching gaze.

"I want you to understand that a weakling like you is not worthy of Tsunade..."

"Do not talk nonsense!"

The referee of ring number eight interrupted impatiently: "Hurry up and finish the fight, there are still several more matches to come."

Inuzuka Kiba stopped talking in anger.

"Watanabe and Inuzuka Kiba, right? Show me your admission ticket."

After checking the admission tickets of the two people and confirming that they were correct, the referee nodded and said, "No problem. If you have any grudges or hatreds, now is the perfect time to fight and resolve them."

Watanabe wanted to complain, thinking that the other party was not like the referee, but a spectator who was just watching the fun.

"Watanabe, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Inuzuka Kiba gritted his teeth. He really wanted to settle the grudge with Watanabe.

"I am much stronger now than I was six months ago. I can definitely defeat you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly took out a pill from his pocket and threw it over his head.

"Woof!"

The green-haired puppy on his head leaped up, swallowed the pill in one gulp, and it grew rapidly in size. In a moment, it grew from a small puppy into a tall, vicious dog.

Watanabe was stunned when he saw this and asked the referee: "He brought the dog to the ring, isn't that a violation?"

The referee glanced at Inuzuka kiba and said calmly, "It's not against the rules. This is how the Inuzuka people are. Dogs are humans and humans are dogs. Humans and dogs are one."

Watanabe: "…"

"Hehe."

Inuzuka Kiba sneered: "Watanabe, you are scared, right?"

"To tell you the truth, this is my companion. No matter how many enemies we face, I can fight with it!"

"Don't blame me for bullying the minority with my large numbers. If you have the ability, go and raise a ninja dog yourself."

"Woof woof!"

The vicious dog barked wildly, and smelly saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.

Watanabe took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I have nothing to say."

"But I want to return the saying 'the majority bullies the minority' to you intact."

The next second, Watanabe's eyes sparkled, his hands quickly formed seals, and he silently chanted in his heart:

"Ninja technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

"Puff, puff, puff, puff…"

Hundreds of white mists exploded on the arena, echoing throughout the entire training ground.
