Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 40 Revealed

Sakumo Hatake's true form rose from the ground: "Genma, you should have used illusion magic just now when we didn't have any more mid-to-long-range offensive capabilities. You had the time and space to use it."

As his body gradually recovered, Genma stretched and readily agreed, saying, "Yes, teacher, I'll remember."

Sakumo Hatake smiled and said, "You still lack combat experience, but you are more skilled at using your abilities than before."

"To be honest, the teacher already used all her strength just now."

This is true. Before Genma learned Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique, Sakumo Hatake was able to rely on his speed and reaction ability to deal with the space-time displacement substitution technique.

However, after acquiring the Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique, Hatake Sakumo clearly felt that this disciple's reaction speed was astonishingly fast, even faster than his own.

At this point, even if his lightning speed was faster than Genma's lightning speed, it wouldn't matter.

Because no matter how fast it goes, it can't be faster than the instantaneous displacement at the spacetime level.

Therefore, Sakumo Hatake realized that even he, under normal circumstances, would not be able to hit his disciple.

Then the only option is to attack based on the distance limitations of Xuanma's spatial displacement.

But that still failed, so they used a trap, and that worked.

Sakumo Hatake had to admit that the pressure from this disciple, who was still a genin, was greater than that from two jonin!

Shizune and Aoba, who were watching the game, both breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that their palms and backs were covered in sweat.

This battle was so exciting that even the spectators were incredibly tense.

"With this level of strength, she's already at the Jonin level, right?"

The mountain town's green leaves are amazing.

Jingyin exclaimed excitedly, "That's amazing!"

"Do you still have the energy?"

"I asked Hatake Sakumo."

Xuanma sheathed his sword and chuckled, "No problem."

Sakumo Hatake was secretly amazed, then said, "Next, you will be Shizune and Aoba's sparring partner."

The special training continues.

And it must be done every day.

Genma also engages in a full-fledged sparring session with his teacher, Hatake Sakumo, every day to accumulate valuable combat experience and further explore the applications of Stand Technique 1.0 and Transformation Technique 1.0.

The harvest was quite substantial.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Genma, having finally gotten a day off, came to Tsunade's house with some questions to ask her.

After getting the answer, Xuanma asked, "Hey, where's Sister Huixiang?"

Tsunade said, "She went to Kushina's place."

Genma nodded, then asked, "You haven't encountered any trouble, have you?"

Tsunade glanced at him and asked, "What kind of trouble are you talking about?"

Xuanma was speechless.

There was some information that he shouldn't have known.

Tsunade scoffed, "You don't need to worry about that much. You're just a lowly genin."

Genma was annoyed: "Gentinel is fine, but can you please not add 'kid'?"

Tsunade smiled, a hint of teasing in her voice: "Aren't you a brat?"

The little brat hasn't even grown all his hair yet!

Genma understood the meaning in Tsunade's eyes, nearly grinding his teeth to powder. He snorted inwardly twice and then said, "By the way, there must be another reason why you haven't been going to the hospital, right?"

Tsunade frowned, her earlier teasing amusement vanishing instantly. Feigning nonchalance, she said, "Mind your own business. If you have nothing to say, get lost."

Genma shook his head: "Lady Tsunade, you are also a medical ninja, you should understand that when you are sick, you need to be treated, instead of running away from it."

Tsunade immediately glared at Genma with hostility.

Xuanma met his gaze calmly.

A moment later, Tsunade's shoulders slumped, her composure crumbling in that instant, and she sighed, "This is not something you can handle."

Genma sighed, "In terms of healing ability, I should have already surpassed Lady Tsunade."

"Even I can't solve it, it seems my guess was right."

"It's a psychological problem!"

"So..."

Genma, holding the answer, immediately thought, "So it's hemophobia?"

Tsunade looked up at Genma but didn't say anything.

Xuanma said, "It seems I guessed correctly."

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely cure you!"

The somewhat frail Tsunade stared blankly at the bright and confident Genma, then turned her head away: "What are you talking about? You're just a genin brat."

She shed her fragility and once again became Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, looking at Genma and saying, "Prepare well for your Chunin Exams. I'll figure out a way to handle this myself."

Genma stood up: "Let's make a bet, Lady Tsunade!"

"Let's see who overcomes their hemophobia first."

"If you lose, don't call me a brat anymore."

Tsunade smiled, but quickly suppressed it: "No problem."

"But if you lose, everything I owe you will be wiped clean."

That's outrageous!

Xuanma's lips twitched, then he gritted his teeth and agreed: "No problem, pinky promise."

He held up his finger.

Tsunade curled her lip: "As expected of a brat, so childish!"

Despite saying that, she still hooked up with Xuanma.

He released his grip and turned to leave.

Watching his departing figure, Tsunade gritted her teeth secretly: "This time, I absolutely cannot let him win."

However, inner fear arises spontaneously, and psychological barriers are not so easily overcome by oneself.

……

After leaving Tsunade's house, Genma went to find Kakashi.

In the forest, on a training ground.

When Genma arrived, he happened to see Kakashi fighting against Obito Uchiha.

"Minato-senpai!"

Xuanma stepped forward to pay his respects.

Minato Namikaze replied with a smile, "Genma, are you here to see Kakashi?"

Xuanma laughed and said, "Let's see how his cultivation is going."

After saying that, he greeted Nohara Rin: "Rin, how have you been lately?"

Rin Nohara responded with a smile, "You've been training intensely lately, haven't you? Kakashi mentioned it before, so is today a rest day?"

Xuanma nodded: "Yes."

After that, the three of them remained silent and watched intently as Kakashi and Obito Uchiha fought.

It must be admitted that, in terms of taijutsu (body techniques), Obito Uchiha was only slightly weaker than Kakashi.

Of course, Kakashi wasn't carrying a sword, otherwise he would have been even stronger.

Even so, after a period of time, Obito Uchiha was visibly at a disadvantage.

Obito Uchiha hardly used the Three Body Technique, while Kakashi used it with great skill.

In the end, Obito Uchiha, who did not have the Sharingan, was easily tricked by Kakashi's substitution jutsu, thus losing the battle.

"Kakashi wins!"

Minato Namikaze announced.

Obito Uchiha was very disappointed, and when he saw Genma, he only greeted him listlessly.

However, seeing Rin Nohara's adoring look towards Kakashi, he immediately mustered his courage and shouted, "Once I awaken my Sharingan, Kakashi, none of your tricks will fool me anymore!"

Kakashi, expressionless, stabbed, "Does having the Sharingan mean you won't get sand in your eyes?"

Obito Uchiha immediately blushed: "Kakashi..."

Xuanma was thoroughly enjoying the melon.

It has to be said that Kakashi's mouth is indeed very sharp, especially when he talks to Obito Uchiha, his fighting power skyrockets.

Nohara Rin intervened again to break up the fight, and Namikaze Minato, with a hint of helplessness, said, "Obito, the Substitution Jutsu is just a regular clone technique. Even without the Sharingan, one can recognize it through experience."

"You need to observe and pay close attention."

He couldn't bring himself to say something like, "Don't rely on the Sharingan."

Because the Sharingan's abilities are indeed superhuman; once activated, one's strength undergoes a dramatic transformation.

If you have the ability, of course you should use it.

But at this stage, he also hopes that Obito Uchiha can master more combat skills and not be so impulsive.

Obito glared at Kakashi and replied, "I understand, Minato-sensei."

Kakashi ignored Obito Uchiha and turned to Genma, asking, "Weren't we supposed to go to Lady Tsunade's place to learn sealing techniques?"

Xuanma said, "I've already been there."

Minato Namikaze was surprised to hear this: "Genma is already learning sealing techniques!"

Xuanma said helplessly, "Yes, but his talent is only average, so his progress is very slow."

Obito Uchiha asked curiously, "Genma, aren't you going to prepare for the Chunin Exams?"

"The sealing technique shouldn't be needed during the exam, right?"

Kakashi immediately retorted, "He doesn't need to prepare, unlike some people who are always late for training."

"If you're late for the exam, you can forget about becoming a ninja!"

Obito Uchiha was immediately enraged: "I didn't mean to!"

Rin Nohara scolded playfully, "Kakashi~"

Kakashi turned his head away and remained silent.

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly awkwardly, and was about to speak when Kushina Uzumaki's voice came: "Since we're resting, let's eat something first!"
