Chaos in the Another World: The Oddball's Reign

Chapter 15: Aika vs. Genbu from the Land of Stone

The next match was set to be a serious affair, with Genbu, the elite shinobi from the Land of Stone, stepping into the arena. Known for his mastery of Earth-style jutsu and his incredible physical strength, Genbu had an imposing presence. His stocky frame, stony expression, and the aura of confidence radiating from him made him seem unstoppable. He had crushed his last opponent, quite literally, with a brutal Earth-style technique. The crowd anticipated a fierce and earth-shaking battle.

But what they hadn't accounted for was Aika, who was still reveling in the chaos of her last fight. She had no intention of letting this match be anything less ridiculous.

As Genbu took his position on one side of the arena, he glared at Aika, who was casually twirling a kunai with one finger, humming to herself. His stoic demeanor suggested that he was taking the match far more seriously than she was.

The proctor raised his hand again. "Begin!"

Genbu wasted no time. He slammed his fists into the ground, sending a surge of earth-shattering power toward Aika. Massive stone pillars erupted from the earth, heading straight for her, threatening to crush her under their weight. 

(Do they not understand? Normally from the last fight he should have. Anyway, It's not my probleme.)

But as the stone pillars closed in, Aika clapped her hands. Instantly, the massive rock formations transformed into wobbly pillars of colorful jello. The once-lethal stone spikes now bounced harmlessly off the ground, quivering in bright neon colors. One of them tipped over and flopped onto the ground with a squelchy sound.

Genbu froze mid-attack, staring in disbelief as his stone jutsu turned into a wobbly dessert. The crowd was stunned into silence before bursting into laughter.

Aika grinned. "Rock solid? More like snack solid. Want a bite?"

Genbu, unfazed by the transformation, scowled and decided to use his defensive jutsu next. He summoned his Earth-style Armor, coating his entire body in a thick layer of rock, making him impervious to most physical and chakra attacks.

(Yeaaaah, they are to stupid to understand)

But before he could fully solidify the armor, Aika gave a subtle flick of her fingers. The heavy stone plates covering Genbu's body instantly shifted and warped, morphing into... a bright, multi-colored clown costume, complete with a massive red nose, oversized shoes, and a floppy hat. His menacing rock armor was now gone, replaced by the most absurd outfit imaginable.

Genbu looked down at himself, horrified as the crowd erupted into uncontrollable laughter.

Aika leaned on her side of the arena, barely containing her own giggles. "I've always wanted to fight a clown. Guess today's my lucky day!"

Genbu growled, his face flushed with embarrassment, but he tried to ignore the ridiculous outfit and focus on the fight.

Determined to crush Aika, Genbu formed a series of massive boulders with a powerful Earth-style jutsu, intending to launch them at her. The rocks lifted from the ground, suspended in mid-air as he prepared to hurl them.

(...)

But Aika, always a step ahead, snapped her fingers, and the boulders transformed into giant, colorful balloons. Each balloon had Genbu's face printed on it, with exaggerated, silly expressions—one with crossed eyes, another with his tongue sticking out.

The balloons floated lazily in the air, drifting harmlessly toward Aika. She batted one away with a finger, watching it bounce lightly across the arena.
