Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 11 Uchiha hirohiko

Yukina simply admitted defeat. She didn't seem depressed about losing the duel; instead, she looked into Kiba's eyes, the light flickering with acknowledgment. Kiba withdrew his hand and extended the seal of reconciliation. Yukina stretched out her hand, forming the seal of reconciliation, a gesture of respect and mutual acknowledgment of their skills.

Neither of them spoke much, and after completing the seal, Yukina returned to the crowd. The current crowd—students, Hirohiko Uchiha, and even the teacher—were all stunned, looking at Kiba in the field. The sheer display of chakra control and raw strength had left them speechless.

"This is... the fourth-to-last strength? That's amazing! What kind of power is it to smash Eight Trigram Palm with one punch?" a student exclaimed, unable to contain their surprise.

As the students murmured amongst themselves, the teacher thought back to when he was seven years old. At that time, he hadn't even mastered the three-body technique. Seeing such a taijutsu genius regarded as just another student sleeping in class amazed him. He had underestimated Kiba due to his lineage and the shadow of his father, who was considered a traitor.

He realized his prejudice against Kiba was due to his father, the traitor. Normally, he wouldn't tolerate students falling asleep in class, but with Kiba, he felt relieved seeing his poor grades and lack of effort. Unexpectedly, this so-called "traitor's son" turned out to be a taijutsu genius capable of defeating someone from the Hyuga family, masters of the strongest taijutsu, Gentle Fist.

Several thoughts passed through the teacher's mind, and he reluctantly denied Kiba's talent. He didn't react until Kiba had returned to the crowd and announced, "This match, Taki Kiba wins!"

"Who will come next?" he asked.

No one responded. Everyone was still amazed by Kiba's punch that shattered his opponent's defense. Even Uchiha Hirohiko, the genius after Kakashi and the most hopeful to graduate early, looked stunned.

Kiba smiled wryly to himself. His right hand was shaking violently and hurt a lot. Although he shattered his opponent's defense, the counter-shock affected his hand, making it difficult to lift for a short time. However, he was surprised to discover that the chakra he had just refined in an instant was nearly twice as much as his original chakra, allowing him to crush Yukina's defense.

"Next one, who's coming?" the teacher called out again.

"Me." This time, Uchiha Hirohiko walked out of the crowd, and the excitement shifted to him. The girls in the crowd became excited, praising Hirohiko's appearance and skills.

"Hirohiko, who do you want to choose as your opponent?" the teacher asked.

Hirohiko glanced at the crowd and then at Kiba. "I choose Taki Kiba," he said lightly.

Kiba, still regretting the uneaten steamed bun, was taken aback. Everyone was surprised that Hirohiko would choose Kiba again.

"Taki Kiba, you play again," the teacher said helplessly. Kiba had no choice but to step forward again. Seeing Uchiha Hirohiko's fighting spirit, Kiba felt a bit helpless. His right hand was still weak, but he prepared himself.

"Wait a minute!" Kiba stretched out his hand and said.

Uchiha Hirohiko frowned, putting down his hands. "What?" he asked concisely, his handsome face causing a group of girls to scream.

"Taki Kiba, what are you doing! You're dawdling!" one girl shouted.

"That's right, what do you have to wait for? Anyway, you'll be defeated soon!" another added.

Kiba noticed a distinctive gaze among the girls. Hyuga Yukina was looking at him with a faint smile, offering the only support amidst the condemnation.

Kiba turned away, looked at Hirohiko Uchiha, and said, "Wait for me, I want to prepare."

"How long?" Hirohiko Uchiha asked.

"A few minutes." Kiba began to release the weights on his feet, a technique reminiscent of Rock Lee's training.

"Okay," Uchiha Hirohiko nodded, intrigued.
