The center stand of the venue.
After hesitating for a moment, Gaara finally asked: "Hokage-dono, it seems that this child really has not inherited that power...or is he still hiding his talent?"
Naruto shook his head slightly: "I really don't know."
Kurotsuchi on the side smiled: "If this kid still can't find the problem, then I'm afraid he will lose."
Chojuro looked at Gaara: "The child Kazekage-dono brought this time, it seems that we have to look forward to the semi-finals."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful chakra suddenly erupted in the venue.
For a moment, everyone, including the four Kage and Mabuyi, immediately looked over.
…
One minute ago, in the competition venue.
"I've probably guessed your background."
Uchiha put back his dagger and looked at Araya who was wearing a mask across from him.
"From the beginning to the end, you have only used taijutsu. There have been several opportunities, but you have not followed up with ninjutsu, and you have not said a word."
"In addition...my steel wire has been treated with matte finish, which is difficult to detect at close range. And in this, you don't have a clear observation action."
"In the confrontation of physical arts, every move you made seemed to be just right. At first, I thought it was the secret technique of Sunagakure Village, using the sense of wind or something else..."
"But in the end I discovered that this is not the case. Your actions are not responses after sensing your opponent. Instead, they are more like having a third-party perspective and being able to react from another outsider's perspective."
"Combining all of the above, as well as Sunagakure Village's famous puppetry technique, it's not that you don't want to talk, but Sunagakure's technology has not reached the level of Konoha, and it is impossible to make puppets completely imitate sounds and make them look real. The answer is self-evident. …Puppet Master.”
The moment he finished speaking, the puppet controlled by Araya suddenly rushed over.
Obviously, what Yu just said made him panic to a certain extent.
Avoiding the attack, Yu retreated and squatted on the ground: "As you expected, I also have a trump card that I haven't used yet. But... I think it will make you very disappointed."
"But...it's because I broke through my own limits time and time again and gained the power that truly belongs to me."
"Open the door! Close the door! Open!"
In an instant, violent chakra exploded in his body, and a green halo formed around him.
"Your body never entered the venue from the beginning, so when your puppet was shattered, you failed."
"It's a pity that I don't know how to use a chakra scalpel. My father always said that these are meaningless to me. If I could, your trickery method would be easily targeted."
"I'm going to... start!"
"boom!"
The next moment, the ground cracked.
Yu's figure suddenly rushed away at an extremely fast speed.
Araya blocked the forward slash with his long sword, but missed it.
"Where are you looking?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Yu suddenly appeared behind him and kicked out.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Araya's puppet flew out and its parts collapsed.
However, Yu didn't wait for him to stop at all, and the third disciple's door opened directly during the operation, and his speed exploded again and followed closely.
"too slow."
With one strike, it was knocked down from mid-air and hit the ground.
"boom!"
For a moment, even the puppet's two eyes popped out, and its limbs were shattered and lay limp on the side.
In just two blows, a puppet was shattered.
Uchiha Yu, who had opened three of the eight gates of Dunjia, did not directly collapse to the ground after closing them.
Obviously, opening three gates is not his limit.
"Uchihaha, win!"
Xiao Li Chaoyu smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Except for Teacher Kai, no one knows better than him the talent of this child in Eight Gate Dunjia, and no one knows better than him the extent of his efforts.
This is not a power inherited from his father, but a power he gained by breaking through his own limits time and time again.
…
In the stands, behind Naruto, Shikamaru curled his lips.
Then he looked at his brother-in-law: "Kazekage-dono, it seems that the rules of the chunin exams need to be changed after this. He didn't even enter the scene. He fought as a puppet and observed from a high place to get an absolute perspective. .”
Gaara was silent for a moment, and finally explained: "That child is the same as Li's child. He will have fear when being watched by too many people. But you can plan within the rules, right?"
Kurotsuchi smiled and said: "This is also a tactic. Selecting Chunin is not a competition of strength. Of course, if strength can push you aside, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Mabuyi on the other side said: "It seems that this child's Chuunin Examination has not been able to fully display the power... The eight gates of Dunjia, I don't know how many gates can be opened."
Naruto remained the same, waving his hands and replied: "Don't look at me, I really don't know anything."
…
"Yu!!! I'll make delicious food for you when I get home! You are the best!!"
The cheers from his mother in the stands made Uchihaha smile, but what really made him happy was the thumbs-up gesture from his father.
This is the affirmation from my father, which affirms my efforts in the past year.
No one knows how much pressure it would be to have a father who was the strongest in the ninja world. Especially when the Sharingan has not been opened for a long time, the doubts coming from all directions will make people collapse.
But now, it seems that he has found another path, another path that is recognized in the name of Uchiha Yu.
…
The knockout rounds are over, followed by the semi-finals.
The Konoha Medical Department and the Scientific Research Department, which are always on call, cooperate to allow all candidates to recover in a short time.
As for those who really can't fully recover, there's nothing they can do about it. After all, sometimes luck is also a manifestation of strength.
In Sunagakure's lounge.
Xinxi looked at Araya who came back: "Don't be too frustrated, that guy is one of my goals."
Yetu on the side also said: "With such speed and strength, it is normal for the puppet to be unable to carry it. Don't worry, our Sunagakure will definitely be the first in the end!"
As she said that, she looked at Lan Luo on the other side: "If you use your seven-day calling method against this guy, do you have any chance of winning?"
Lan Luo shook his head slightly: "I don't know. Because after opening the third gate of the Eight Gate Dunjia, the opponent is still in good condition. In this case, it is obvious that the opponent is definitely more than the three gates."
"And... this is just the power shown by the other party. He is the son of that adult. If he says he has hidden cards, no one will question it, right?"
Xinxi's eyes were firm: "Even so, I will try my best because my father will be watching me."
…
Konoha's lounge.
As soon as Yu came in, he was surrounded by two teammates.
"You actually have such a powerful trump card hidden, do you have any more? Tell me about it."
Boruto came over with a sly expression on his face.
Yu reached out and pressed his face to push him out, but at this moment, he discovered something different.
When Boruto saw him stunned, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Yu smiled and looked at his abdomen: "Nothing. I just feel that my eyesight is very good today and I can see things much more clearly."
Sarana heard this and looked over: "Have you turned on your Sharingan?"
Yu: "No. I could see it all of a sudden, but now I can't see it anymore. Maybe... Dad really didn't lie to me."
Meiko on the other side did not speak at the moment, but her eyes had already opened her white eyes.
At that moment, she could feel that there seemed to be a heart-stopping power in Yu's body.
It's hard to explain that feeling, it's like I'm naturally lower on a certain level.
But this kind of feeling has never been felt even by Uncle Yun.
No... maybe it should be said that Uncle Yun can control his power better and will not make people around him feel scared.
At this time, the first game of the semi-finals also began.
In the first game, Meiko faced off against one of Kumogakure's genin, and in the second game, Shikadai also faced off against Sunagakure's Ran Luo.
After watching the two games, those who have not yet started the follow-up have to lament that sometimes luck can determine a lot of things.
The Kumogakure genin who faced off against Meako was lucky enough to meet a mediocre Iwagakure genin in the knockout round. The thunder escape restrained the earth escape to a certain extent, and he was lucky enough to win.
But his luck was obviously prepared for Meiko.
The first game of the semi-finals ended faster than the knockout rounds.
This scene also made Mabuyi look ugly in the stands. Although he had the intention of showing weakness, he still felt that it was so easy to do so, and he still felt that he couldn't keep it off his face.
Chojuro on the side said with a sneer: "Although I hate to admit it, it seems that the final will be a showdown between Konoha and Sunagakure."
The people sitting here are all ninjas who have been famous for a long time. The candidates on the field have basically been able to determine the top few since the first test.
Gaara: "Lan Luo inherited the Seven Heavens Calling Technique from his father, and I am also looking forward to the result of his collision with the Eight Gate Dunjia."
Naruto looked at Gaara: "Although I really don't know how many doors this child Yu can open, but judging from the situation just now, I'm afraid five doors is the minimum."
Kurotsuchi looked over: "The Seven-day Calling Technique... That child is also a practitioner of pure physical arts. It seems to double the lung capacity and speed up the blood transportation in the body to achieve a dramatic increase in strength and speed."
"But such physical skills put too much burden on the heart. Even if the strength of the body cannot keep up, it may happen that one punches out and breaks the bones."
Gaara nodded, and then looked at Shikamaru behind him: "I heard that Konoha's medical department is the best in the ninja world, and it has received technical support from the first and second scientific research departments?"
Shikamaru:(_)
Feelings are the reason why you let that little guy run wild, right?
There’s really nothing to say!
As the organizer, Konoha naturally needs to assume medical responsibility.
Soon, the subsequent semi-finals continued in the venue.
Game 3: Boruto VS Shinki!
Seeing the display on the screen, Chojuro said with a smile: "The duel between the son of the Hokage and the adopted son of the Kazekage is quite interesting."
Gaara: "Xinxi has his own path. After me, I hope he can continue to move forward with the life of all the people in the Kingdom of Wind as his will."
Hearing this, Naruto looked over, thought for a moment and nodded: "I promise you."
For the first time, Gaara smiled.
…
At this time, in the venue.
Xinxi, wearing a black coat, slowly walked into the venue, looked at Boruto in front of him and said, "It seems that the development of the situation is as I expected. I can defeat you before facing off against Uchiha Yu."
The corner of Boruto's mouth twitched: "How come you... are so used to bragging so calmly and yet don't blush? How about... teach me a lesson."
Xinxi shook his head slightly: "If your Muji Ninjutsu, which can disappear in the middle, can be hidden until now, then there is a high probability that I will be tricked. I will never deny this."
"But if you reveal your trump card in the second exam, then I will definitely be on guard."
Boruto smiled and said, "I think your boast is pretty good, and you are the best in the ninja world."
At this time, Xiao Li also announced the start of the game.
The moment the voice fell, three shurikens were thrown out.
"Such a tentative attack doesn't make any sense to me."
The iron sand gathered and formed, hitting the shuriken like a wave.
However, the next moment, thunder and lightning gathered on the steel wire binding the shuriken. For a moment, electric light erupted around the shuriken, trying to defeat the magnetic force attached to the iron sand.
“It’s a good idea, but it’s not enough.”
The faintly disintegrated iron sand condensed again, and with one blow the shuriken, which had been exhausted by lightning, was knocked away.
Then the iron sand dispersed, rushing towards Boruto like a thousand sticks.
"puff!"
White smoke exploded, and a small, pellet-like spiral pill suddenly appeared behind Xinxi.
"boom!"
"Zhizhizhi..."
The wind blade kept tearing apart the shield formed by the iron sand, and at this moment, another miniature spiral pill suddenly appeared in another direction.
"Wow!"
Covered in iron sand, just like Gaara's absolute defense back then, it blocked all attacks.
"I said, if your Muji Ninjutsu has been hidden until now, I might be caught by surprise. But now...do you think I will give you a chance?"
Xinxi didn't move even half a step, but when he finished speaking, the iron sand suddenly formed two giant hands, and slapped all the micro-rasengans away.
The next moment, the huge palm clenched into a fist and struck Boruto down.
"puff!"
There was another burst of white smoke, Xinxi frowned, when?
If the shadow clone at the beginning took advantage of the electric light to form the seal, then now...
"boom!!"
Another huge palm blocked Boruto, and the next moment he retreated.
Another raid failed, Boruto said helplessly: "It's really like a turtle shell..."
Xinxi: "No, it will be over soon. When you have just come into close contact with my iron sand, it already means it is almost over."
Boruto frowned: "What are you talking about that I can't understand? Are you bragging again?"
