So, at that moment, Obito truly wanted to jump in.
But jumping in would mean breaking the exam rules, and Rin would be passively disqualified.
If he really did that, Rin would definitely come to settle accounts with him afterward.
So Obito could only suppress this impulse.
He anxiously looked into the field, praying that nothing like that would happen.
Fortunately, while Rin's speed wasn't fast, that was only relative.
In the instant the thick mist surged toward her, she had already dodged to the side.
In the end, only one of her arms got caught.
Immediately, the clothes on her arm dissolved in an instant, revealing the smooth skin underneath.
Moreover, the skin was also burned, exposing a large area of burn marks.
Obito felt a little heartache when he saw this scene.
But as a ninja, getting injured was inevitable.
Especially in a life-or-death battle, this could only be considered a minor injury.
He could only continue to endure it.
When Mei Terumi saw Rin's arm being burned, she revealed a confident smile.
"You're strong, but this move of mine is not something ordinary people can deal with. This time, you only lost an arm. What about next time?
"I advise you to just give up."
Rin, however, smiled, "A mere small injury, to me, it's nothing."
"I forgot to tell you. I'm actually a medical ninja. And an excellent one at that. What I'm best at is healing myself!"
As her words fell, the burned part of Rin's arm emitted a burst of purple light. In just a short moment, the injury healed.
"Impossible!", Mei Terumi widened her eyes.
She was very confident in her Boil Release. This degree of burn couldn't be healed quickly with ordinary medical ninjutsu.
Rin's medical ninjutsu far surpassed her expectations.
She couldn't help but recall a very powerful female ninja from Konoha, also famous for her medical ninjutsu.
"Could it be, you're the disciple of one of the Legendary Sannin, Lady Tsunade?", Mei Terumi switched to honorifics. Even in the Bloody Mist Village, where lives were treated like grass, this legendary kunoichi was deeply respected.
Rin nodded, "That's right, my teacher is indeed Lady Tsunade."
Mei Terumi gave a bitter smile, 'What kind of squad is Kakashi in?'
'Could it be... the next generation of the Legendary Sannin?'
Actually, not only Mei Terumi, even the Third Hokage in the stands was shocked.
As the Professor of Ninjutsu, he understood a bit about medical ninjutsu too.
Rin's self-healing ability wasn't inferior to Tsunade.
This definitely wasn't that Yin Seal Release technique of Tsunade's.
Rather, it was a completely new self-healing method that even Tsunade couldn't accomplish.
'Purple chakra? Could it be a newly invented self-created medical ninjutsu?'
'Another medical genius in Konoha?'
The Third Hokage couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The importance of medical ninjas became undeniable after repeated tragedies.
Among everyone present, only Obito wasn't surprised.
The Dragon Vein could instantly repair any damage to a giant puppet. After becoming Tsunade's disciple, Rin's knowledge of medical ninjutsu had grown immensely. She had begun developing medical techniques centered around Dragon Vein chakra.
Through experiments, this chakra had shown astonishing healing effects on the human body as well.
It's just that even Obito hadn't expected. Rin, who could barely release it not long ago, could now use it proficiently in actual combat?
It was somewhat like the Yin Healing Wound Destruction technique Kabuto would later use.
And since Rin was the Dragon Vein's Jinchuriki, chakra was never an issue. She could sustain this move for a long time.
So Rin's self-healing ability was even on par with her teacher Tsunade.
The corners of Obito's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
The stronger Rin's ability to protect herself, the more at ease his heart would be.
At this moment, in the arena.
Having fully recovered, Rin continued attacking Mei Terumi.
Mei Terumi, with no other choice, spat out another wave of acid mist.
She thought Rin would dodge again, but no…
Rin's whole body erupted with purple light, and she actually charged straight in, ramming right into the acid mist trap Mei had set.
And this time, the corrosive mist was actually resisted by the purple light. Though the purple light was also dissolving rapidly, its regeneration speed far exceeded its rate of erosion.
So after quite some time, Rin was still completely unscathed.
Mei Terumi realized this purple light was also chakra.
For Rin to use it so recklessly, it meant her chakra reserves were enormous. She didn't care about the consumption at all.
'Is there no justice in the world anymore?'
Rin not only had monstrous strength and top-tier medical ninjutsu, she also had massive chakra reserves and didn't fear consumption.
'How am I supposed to fight this?'
Mei Terumi suddenly felt like swearing.
'This isn't playing fair. Aren't ninjas supposed to be fragile?'
But here she was, going all out, and the opponent remained unharmed.
Mei Terumi realized that all her techniques were being countered by this brute-force style.
Because she had never considered, what if an enemy didn't care about her techniques, and just powered through them?
Just like now.
Rin's fist had already appeared in front of her.
She had no choice but to dodge back again.
BOOM!
Another large hole appeared in the floor.
Mei Terumi, panting heavily, looked at Rin.
After using Boil Release twice, her chakra had already dropped to a dangerously low level.
But Rin hadn't taken a single hit.
If this went on, it was only natural she'd lose.
But she was proud. How could she surrender so easily?
'So, should I use that move?'
'That move still isn't perfected.'
'But I have no other choice.'
Immediately, Mei Terumi took a deep breath.
From her mouth, a jet of black-gray liquid sprayed out, splashing around Rin.
This liquid was extremely corrosive, even stronger than the Boil Release from earlier.
Rin's arm, just lightly touched by it, had all her Dragon Vein chakra burned away, and the flesh was injured again.
Around them, many knowledgeable spectators gasped.
"This is... Lava Release! She actually has dual Kekkei Genkai!"
"This is incredible. So young, and already mastered four chakra nature transformations to this level!"
Originally, the spectators had thought, with Rin this strong, she must have already won.
But now, it seemed the result was still up in the air…
Rin hurriedly directed large amounts of chakra toward self-healing, only then resisting the corrosion of the Lava Release.
Taking a full hit from that move, even she was struggling a bit.
However, compared to Boil Release, this move was much slower.
Rin leapt high into the air, dodging the incoming attack.
Then, with unstoppable momentum, she swung her fist at Mei Terumi.
Mei saw the situation was bad, and quickly spat out a large amount of acid to block Rin's attack path.
She hoped this would force Rin to give up the attack.
But Rin didn't hesitate at all, charging straight through.
At this point, Mei Terumi had nothing left.
Rin was clearly going to risk losing an arm just to defeat her.
But Rin was a medical ninja. Even if her arm got ruined, she could still heal.
While Mei Terumi's chakra was already completely drained.
'How am I supposed to fight now?'
'So… should I surrender?'
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth hard.
'No, I absolutely won't surrender!'
Thinking of this, Mei Terumi squeezed out every last drop of her chakra.
Once again, she spewed out a massive amount of acid.
She wasn't going to dodge anymore. Either Rin's fist would punch through the acid and hit her, or, before it could hit her, her acid would corrode Rin's entire hand.
'If it is a death match, then so be it! I can too!'
'Who's afraid of who!'
