After admitting defeat, Kimimaro decisively turned around and walked out.
Both of them have extremely strong physiques. One is an immortal body that is fused with the first-generation cells, and the other is an immortal body with 'corpse bone veins'. Therefore, although they made a lot of noise in the forest, neither of them lost their ability to move. .
Actually.
Kimimaro still has many trump cards hidden in him, but he has not revealed them yet.
For example, in the competition, he did not use his Corpse Veins to the extreme, and he did not use many of the Corpse Veins' ultimate killing moves.
In addition, because the secret technique scroll of the 'Eight Gate Dungeon' that he also practiced was obtained from Orochimaru, he did not use the 'Eight Gate Dungeon' in this competition.
But even so, his performance in the competition was enough to match his character as one of the four geniuses in the Ninja School, so he gave up easily.
...
Not far away in the treetops.
Kakashi shook his head: "I didn't expect that even Kimimaro would be defeated!"
Jiraiya smiled and said: "That boy from the Kaguya clan must have some tricks up his sleeve."
Tsunade crossed her arms and said casually: "So what, don't forget, Yakumo didn't use all his strength either!"
Jiraiya was silent.
Yakumo's use of red longan and the first-generation cells are still at the most basic stage, so Yakumo actually has many trump cards to use.
For example, as long as she relaxes some of the constraints on the first-generation cells in her body, she can immediately use the power of the first-generation cells to activate the 'Wood Release'.
So just as Tsunade said, no matter what trump cards Kimimaro had hidden, he would not have lost unfairly.
...
Outside the grove.
Seeing that Kimimaro was the first to walk out of the forest, Sasuke and Neji both thought that Kimimaro had won this time, and their expressions were a little complicated.
Then, Zuosuke stepped forward and confirmed: "You won?"
Kimimaro shook his head, and then walked past Sasuke and Neji without saying a word.
"Wha...what!?" Neji was startled, and then murmured: "The only one left is Shinji!"
Zuosuke's face turned livid: "All three of us have been defeated. I'm afraid Shinji is no match for her! Damn it, the four of us are so embarrassed now!"
The other Konoha ninjas watching the battle around the grove had different expressions.
"The eldest lady of the Kurama family has become so strong?"
"What happened to her eyes?"
"Are all the brats in Ninja School so outrageous now?"
Doubts and sighs arose in their hearts.
In an inconspicuous corner, two root ninjas stared at Yakumo in the forest.
One of them said: "It is suspected that Kurama Yakumo's surgery was successful, and there are unknown mutations in his eyes. We must report to Danzo-sama immediately!"
Another root ninja nodded and said: "You go ahead, I will continue to watch here!"
at the same time.
In the Hokage's office, the third Hokage looked away from the crystal ball.
There is no doubt that even the Third Hokage is secretly paying attention to Yakumo's series of challenges to the four geniuses of the Ninja School.
In less than half a day, the news of Kimimaro's defeat spread throughout the village.
If Yakumo's previous challenge to Sasuke only attracted attention within the scope of the ninja school, then as Yakumo challenged and defeated Neji again, and defeated Uchiha one after another, Hyuga's two great children's skills succeeded the giants. , the impact of the whole thing began to ferment rapidly.
And today, when Yakumo once again challenged and defeated Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan, the scope of the impact of this incident has become larger and wider.
Almost the entire village began to pay attention to this challenge among the Ninja School students.
Uchiha, Hinata, and Kaguya, these wealthy families inherited from the Warring States Period, suddenly became the focus of discussion among the villagers.
And the Kurama clan, which has long since declined, has become the center of this focus!
"Tomorrow, the eldest daughter of the Kurama family will challenge Uchiha Shinji, right?"
"Uchiha Shinji is the last face of our village's rich family with child arts and blood. If he loses, the Kurama clan will be really proud!"
"Shinji Uchiha can't win, but the Kurama clan has Tsunade Hime as her master!"
"Hey, are the geniuses from the old days of the ninja school coming to an end at the hands of Kurama Zongmei?"
Streets, alleys, pubs, tea shops.
Almost everyone in the place where people gathered was talking about this competition between the geniuses of the rich and powerful families.
Kurama Yakumo, who rose up with a disabled body, worshiped Princess Konoha as his teacher, and defeated the three geniuses of Uchiha, Hinata, and Kaguya in succession. In a short period of time, Kurama Yakumo became the rising star of the village!
at night.
In a practice field.
Zuosuke stopped practicing out of breath.
Sakura quickly handed over a towel and asked, "Sasuke, what's wrong with you?"
Naruto also came closer: "Why do you seem a little absent-minded?"
Sasuke took the towel and wiped his sweat and said, "What do you know! If Shinji loses tomorrow, our Uchiha clan will lose to the Kurama clan!"
Then he looked into the distance and whispered: "Shinji..."
The mansion of the Hyuga clan.
Neji bowed deeply to the head of the family, Hiashi: "I'm sorry, I have brought shame on the family."
"Why!"
Hizu sighed.
He really couldn't blame Ningji harshly, because his daughter, Hinata, the eldest daughter of the clan, was weaker.
Fortunately, Sasuke and Kimimaro also lost. Although the Hyuga clan lost face, at least they had Uchiha and Kaguya as companions.
After a moment, he asked: "Do you think Uchiha Shinji can stop Kurama Yakumo tomorrow?"
Neji instinctively wanted to shake his head.
In his opinion, Yakumo's strength was obviously a level higher than the four of them, but when he thought about Shinji's past performance, he felt that Shinji had no chance at all.
So he said, "It's hard to say."
"Then let's wait and see!" After a pause, Rizu sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Kumama Congyun has given birth to a good daughter!"
A secluded place in the woods.
Orochimaru, who was wearing a cloak, stared at Kimimaro with interest: "Did you lose?"
"I disappoint you!"
Kimimaro's cold face showed a rare look of panic.
Orochimaru licked his tongue: "Is that child very strong?"
"Very strong! And..." Recalling the scene during the day's competition, Kimimaro said: "There seems to be some kind of mutation in her eyes!"
"No wonder Tsunade suddenly accepted her as her disciple!"
Orochimaru became thoughtful.
He rushed to Konoha in a hurry this time. On the one hand, he heard that the spy Mizuki he had placed in the village was confirmed to be an undercover agent of the Akatsuki organization. On the other hand, he learned through special channels that Tsunade would risk big money. Bu Wei personally presided over the first-generation cell transplantation surgery.
Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be interested in Yakumo, Kimimaro hurriedly said: "Yakumo may challenge Shinji tomorrow!"
Orochimaru grinned: "Uchiha Shinji..."
