After seeing his name on the electronic screen, Asuka knew it was his turn to play.
"Then, I'll go down first."
Feiniao didn't say much. He left these words and walked towards the stage below.
As he went down, he thought about his opponent's abilities and characteristics.
Before the qualifiers, he deliberately learned about the abilities of many players, either from their daily performance or from their last names to determine their ninjutsu style.
The Nara clan is undoubtedly a ninja clan that mainly uses the secret technique of Yin Escape. They can manipulate shadows to attack and control the opponent's body.
Just like the Uchiha clan, they are always labeled as Sharingan and Fire Release.
From this point of view, the ability is very similar to that of his sister, Shadow Dancer.
However, the shadow technique of the Nara clan is more inclined to control, while the shadows produced by shadow dancers are more inclined to defense and offense.
Although the secret arts of the Nara clan tend to be controlled, it does not mean that they do not have any offensive capabilities.
Thinking back to the information he had collected, Nara Shikamaru was the son of Konoha Jounin Squad Leader Nara Shikaku. The Konoha Jounin Squad Leader adopted a hereditary system, and all previous jounin squad leaders were held by the Nara clan leader.
Not surprisingly...Nara Shikamaru will be the next Jounin squad leader of Konoha and assistant to the Hokage.
Having shouldered such an important responsibility since childhood, there will definitely be no mistakes in tutoring.
Therefore, you cannot bet your hopes on your opponent not learning the offensive family secrets.
The prerequisite for winning the game is not to be hit by the opponent's secret skills.
Once hit by the secret technique, it is likely to lead to failure.
When fighting an intellectual guy, you can't delay it, nor give him time to react and think. You must fight quickly! A sharp light flashed in Feiniao's eyes, and he quickly formulated a battle strategy in his mind.
On the surface, Asuka remained calm and walked to the stage at a normal speed.
When he walked to the stage, Shikamaru slowly came down from the observation deck. It took him another half minute to
Walk to a stop five meters in front of Asuka.
Seeing Shikamaru so far away from him, Asuka knew that Shikamaru's seemingly lazy character was actually very cautious.
Not only that, the other party has understood the characteristics of the Sharingan and knows that the illusion of the Sharingan is a close-tactical type. It needs to be released within a range of five meters to capture the opponent and make the opponent fall into the illusion.
Beyond this distance, the illusion will not only fail, but even if it succeeds, its power will be greatly reduced, and it can be unlocked quickly, so as not to fall into passiveness at the beginning.
"Shikamaru, come on!"
From the observation deck, Naruto's loud cheering voice could be heard.
Shikamaru picked his ears, looking like he was troubled.
Sometimes he envied Naruto's carefree character, but he just envied Gui Meimu. He didn't want to be an idiot like Naruto.
Moreover, the opponent in front of him is not an opponent that can be defeated easily by just working hard.
Regarding Asuka's information, Shikamaru was basically blank.
So you can only start by guarding against the opponent's illusions, then fire escape and shuriken throwing, and finally look for opportunities to find the opponent's weaknesses.
Therefore, this battle must be delayed long enough to gain enough room for performance.
Otherwise, you will fail and there will be no chance of a comeback.
But, will this guy give me this kind of time? No matter how you look at it, he is the same type as me, he is very cautious in fighting. Shikamaru felt worried.
Among all the Oni no Kuni genin, he considered Asuka to be the most calm and collected one.
And in the first exam, he had already determined that Asuka was the 'leader' figure among the genin of the Demon Country.
Leading so many terrifying genin, even if they are genin, their opponent's judgment ability is not comparable to that of ordinary ninjas.
What you can predict, the other party can probably guess too.
Both sides know the other side's grand strategy thoroughly, and it is difficult for both sides to hide it.
is the worst opponent.
Because in this case, the person with stronger hard power has a greater probability of being the winner.
"You two, please start."
Seeing the two standing still, both sizing up each other, Onigashima Ninja announced the start of the game.
After Onigashima Ninja announced the start of the game, Asuka quickly reached into his ninja bag and took out six shurikens without saying a word. After swinging his arms, the shurikens hit Shikamaru from both sides. Body.
Shikamaru watched Asuka's every move carefully. The moment the opponent took out his shuriken, he took a dodge position, put his hands together and began to form seals.
After dodging the attacks of six shurikens, the shadow at Shikamaru's feet suddenly stretched out, like a jet of black lightning, rushing towards Asuka's feet.
There can be no communication with the extended shadow, your own shadow.
In other words, even if you jump into the sky, as long as a shadow is cast down, you still cannot avoid the fate of being controlled.
And because the shadow has no entity, physical attacks are ineffective and can only start from the practitioner.
Thinking of this, Asuka retreated backwards as originally planned, taking out a kunai from his ninja bag.
The color is the same as regular kunai, but this kunai has stronger conductive properties.
Asuka's dark pupils turned red, and the double magatama rotated in the pupils. After wrapping lightning around his arm, he then fired the kunai in his hand towards Shikamaru's lower body.
So fast!
Shikamaru's eyelids twitched, and without any hesitation, he interrupted the ninjutsu and jumped to the side.
boom!
The ground exploded.
In the blasted earth pit, a kunai was stuck there, standing still.
Seeing this scene, cold sweat broke out on Shikamaru's face.
If one were hit by such a kunai, one would not die but would be crippled.
He didn't expect that just a small kunai could do so much.
This was completely different from what he expected.
"Did you escape? So, what about this speed?"
Asuka saw that Shikamaru had dodged his kunai, and then he took out a similar kunai from his ninja bag, attached it with thunder and lightning, and threw it out with all his strength.
"Isn't it!?"
Shikamaru's expression remained unchanged. This guy was too cautious and didn't give him any time to think about countermeasures.
Although when the kunai is thrown out, the opponent's body will be sluggish, Shikamaru knows that before his shadow has touched the opponent's body, he will be hit by the kunai first.
With such a powerful kunai, not to mention a direct hit, even a scratch would be very scary.
The speed and destructive power exceeds his secret skills.
In desperation, Shikamaru dodged again.
Because the kunai's speed increased, he dodged extremely reluctantly this time. After rolling out in a panic, he gasped for air.
Before he could stabilize his body, a shadow enveloped him. The flying bird appeared above his head at some unknown moment and struck down vertically with his heel.
Although the shadows of the two overlapped, which was a good time to use secret techniques, Shikamaru did not do that.
Because when he uses secret techniques to control the opponent, his skull will also be split by the opponent's heel.
The opponent had calculated everything before approaching him in close combat.
Damn it, I can't find a good time to release my ninjutsu! Shikamaru jumped back awkwardly, keeping his hands clasped together and not daring to let go.
This is your only chance.
You must maintain the state of sealing throughout the whole process, find flaws in the opponent's gaps, and win in one fell swoop.
Because based on the previous tactics adopted by the opponent, the opponent would not give him any time to think about countermeasures.
"it's over."
Asuka murmured softly. Seeing Shikamaru's state after jumping back, he was unable to use the force from the air to move his body. It could be said that his whole body was full of flaws, so he didn't plan to waste time. He took out two kunai, attached thunder and lightning, and headed towards Shikamaru shot away from where he landed.
boom!
The thunderous flash of the explosion immediately swept Shikamaru's figure after he landed on the ground.
Shikamaru rolled on the floor with injuries all over his body, his thighs were dripping with blood, and he couldn't stand still. After he came to his senses, he kept gasping for air, but he was stubborn and didn't make a sound.
When Asuka saw Shikamaru in this state, he didn't approach him rashly. As long as he didn't come into contact with the opponent's shadow, no matter how powerful his control was, it would be useless.
So, he took out the shuriken from his ninja bag and made a gesture to launch it.
At this time, using long-range attacks is a safe and secure way to attack, and it can also ensure complete victory.
Let the opponent find no flaws in him.
This caution was learned from his father Shiraishi.
At any time, you must ensure that you are safe enough before you think of ways to attack the enemy.
He implemented this strategy very well.
"Wait, I give up!"
Seeing Asuka's ruthless attitude, which could turn him into a hedgehog in the next moment, Shikamaru knew that he had no chance at all.
He originally wanted to rely on the flying bird to approach him carelessly, and then use the shadow imitation technique to counterattack the opponent.
Who knew that the opponent would be so cautious and use shuriken to attack when he couldn't move his legs, which made him depressed.
Where did you learn this pathological caution?
He simply pays more attention to the word stability than he does.
Therefore, Shikamaru simply gave up.
Originally, there was only one chance, and it depended on whether the other party was careless.
Since the opponent left no chance and the gap in physical strength was too large, Shikamaru knew that he would lose sooner or later.
Instead of surrendering after being shot into a hedgehog, it would be better to suffer less physical pain and just surrender and admit defeat.
Hearing Shikamaru's shout, Asuka stopped throwing his shuriken, and instead of continuing to attack Onijima, Ninja simply announced Asuka's victory, ending the game.
"call…
Asuma took the cigarette out of his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke.
"It seems that the whole army was wiped out. I didn't expect this exam to be so difficult."
Asuma has observed many Chunin exams in Konoha in the past, but the difficulty of this joint Chunin exam is much higher than that held by Konoha itself. There are also many powerful genin.
Even in times of war, these genin were outstanding.
"Yes, I feel like if this continues, I will almost lose confidence in my students."
Kurenai nodded, agreeing with Asuma's words.
And while they were talking, the list of contestants for the next competition came out.
Ichiburame Shino (Konoha) VS Sakuchumi (sound)
"Otogakure Village?"
Red frowned.
Otogakure is the only ninja village from a small country that has made it into the preliminaries. It is said that the village was established less than ten years ago. It is an unusually inconspicuous small country village.
But to be able to break into this place, you should have some strength.
As long as he doesn't run into genin from the Kingdom of Demons, that's fine.
Shino walked down the stairs silently, his eyes covered by sunglasses, making it unclear what he was thinking. It was very mysterious.
"It's your turn, Sac."
Toss glanced sideways at his teammate Sark.
"I know, this guy only needs one hit."
Sack sneered and walked into the stage from the other side.
"Is that guy Sac okay?"
Qin, the only female ninja in the sound ninja team, asked worriedly.
"Although this guy is a little arrogant, he never disappoints in terms of strength."
Toth said.
Because they participated in this joint chunin exam as representatives of the Oto Ninja Village, and they themselves possess the strength of chunin. Moreover, under the training of Orochimaru, they have experienced many life and death battles, which are completely different from the flowers cultivated in the greenhouses of Konoha.
They are real ninjas.
Thinking of this, Toss looked at a certain position in the auditorium. A Jonin from Otogakure Village was sitting there alone, smiling and staring at the battle on the stage, watching carefully.
We will let you see our value clearly, Orochimaru-sama! Toss thought to himself.
For a ninja in the Sound Ninja Village, the most terrifying thing is not death, but being abandoned and becoming a useless outcast.
That feeling is simply more despairing than being an experimental subject.
Only when you are given value can you stand higher and follow the figure you have longed for in your life.
Therefore, for them taking the Chunin Exam, failure is not allowed.
Just after he went through such a complicated and changeable mental process, a sudden violent explosion on the stage startled him.
Along with the explosion, there was also Sark's extremely painful scream, and then it stopped.
Toss quickly recovered his mind and looked at the stage with wide eyes.
I saw his teammate Sac slumped to the ground like a dead corpse, his arms bursting from the middle and flying to the side.
The severe pain caused him to faint on the spot and lose consciousness.
The blasted arm wound was still bleeding.
"What, what's going on?"
Toss looked at this scene in surprise.
Qin pointed to the location of Sack's broken arm and said, "Look there."
A black mass slowly crawled out from the pipe of the severed arm.
It was a small black insect, returning towards Shino's body.
"insect?"
"He used bugs to block the vents in Sak's arms that released the ninjutsu."
Qin said with a solemn face.
"I see, it's really a terrible ninjutsu."
Toss frowned and turned his gaze to the Otogakure Murjonin, and found that the smile on the other person's face had faded a little at some point, and seemed to reveal a bit of dissatisfaction. Toss couldn't help but feel panic and fear in his heart.
They can't lose anymore. If they continue to lose, Toss can't imagine what will happen if they continue to lose the game. They will be abandoned and become abandoned children even worse than the experimental subjects.
Seeing Sak's fate, Shino remained silent. Since he was an opponent, necessary kindness should not exist.
He pushed his glasses down to the bridge of his nose, kept his hands in his jacket pockets, and silently returned to the observation deck without saying a word, as if he had done a very boring little thing.
"Shino, the way you walk is still as unpleasant as ever."
Kiba watched Shino come back and complained.
"No, I'm just fighting according to the style of our clan. You are the only one left."
After Shino finished speaking, he stood aside silently, passively beginning to reduce his sense of presence.
"Don't worry, it's not just mine, I will also win back Hinata's share."
Ya said confidently.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Wuzhi.
If you want to fight her, you must pass the preliminary round to avenge Hinata's defeat.
"With all due respect, Ya, you are not hers..."
Before Shino finished speaking, Ya had already started muttering about who the next competition would be. He didn't pay attention to what Shino said next.
Just when everyone was nervous and looking forward to the next competition, the fluorescence on the electronic screen suddenly went out and fell into a black screen.
"Hey, examiner over there, what's going on? Is it a power leak?"
Naruto was still looking forward to whether he would be the next one, but when he saw this, he couldn't stand and asked loudly what happened.
Jonin Onigashima, who was in charge of refereeing, said: "Idiot, it's lunch time at halftime. You don't want to fight hungry next, right?"
Hearing what Onigashima Shinobu said, not only Naruto, but the others also felt a little hungry.
At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and it was indeed time for lunch.
"It was a really exciting game. I'm looking forward to the official battle."
Ayane stood up from her seat, stretched and said with a smile.
With her eyes, she can naturally see what the purpose of this qualifying match is.
The elites who have passed the second exam will continue to undergo a round of screening, and those who remain must be the absolute elite among genin.
"Then, I'll go there first."
Ayane said.
"Don't go too far, he's just a kid."
Shiraishi warned.
Ayane waved her hand with her back to Shiraishi, which meant that she understood.
But Shiraishi felt that she didn't listen at all to her attitude.
Then, he looked at another part of the auditorium. The Otogakure Jounin who was still there had disappeared at some point.
"Do you want to take advantage of lunch time to kill him? One of the three ninjas, I have always wanted to fight him. It just so happens that I want to change to a better-quality Kusanagi sword."
Yi Ji smiled and said very cruel words.
"What's coming is just a clone, there's no point in killing him. It's impossible for a ninja like him to take the risk in person.
Shiraishi shook his head, indicating that there was no need to do this.
For now, there is no need to attack Orochimaru so soon.
Lunch time is almost an hour, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the second half of the qualifiers starts on time.
Seven players have already passed in the morning to participate in the third official match.
Of the original thirty candidates, two abstained, so a total of twenty-eight people participated in the preliminaries, and fourteen games were played. Even though seven contestants have already passed, seven games will still be arranged in the afternoon to select seven winners. A total of fourteen candidates will participate in the official competition.
After lunch, there was still half an hour left before the second half of qualifying began.
Before that, Naruto and others first went to visit their companions who were receiving treatment in the infirmary.
"Naruto-kun, brother Neji, why are you here?"
Lying on the hospital bed, Hinata immediately panicked when she saw Naruto and others coming in, and lowered her head shyly.
"Of course I came to visit you. How are you? Are you feeling well?"
Naruto walked in carelessly.
Neji glanced at Naruto with dissatisfaction, then at Hinata who was wringing her fingers with her head down, and frowned.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Hinata looks at this yellow guy a little differently.
No matter how you look at it, this guy is just a careless idiot.
"Hinata-sama, do you still feel uncomfortable in any way?"
Unlike Naruto's careless attitude, Neji's voice was much gentler.
"Well, it's okay. It's just that the chakra consumption is a bit serious. It'll be fine if you rest for a while."
Hinata nodded, indicating that she was fine.
"So, how did you fall? I always feel that the dark barrier is a bit weird."
Naruto looked at Hinata's fair face and asked this question curiously.
Neji also looked at Hinata, confused about what happened in the barrier.
Regarding the two people's doubts, Hinata also said in a daze: "I don't know what happened. I just felt that my body could not reach the east tower, and the chakra in my body was rapidly decreasing. When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed. On the hospital bed."
"Is that so?"
When Neji saw Hinata's confused expression, he knew that if he continued to ask, there would be no results.
"However, her chakra is a bit strange..."
Hinata said in a soft voice.
"Chakra... strange?"
"Hmm. It feels like her chakra has its own consciousness."
Hinata said.
"What's that?"
Naruto looked confused.
Neji also couldn't understand that chakra has life. Does that kind of pure chakra aggregate have its own life?
If this is the case, it is indeed a very strange technique.
The two of them didn't stay for long. Hinata needed to rest now, so after asking for a while, she left the ward.
In the corridor, Naruto took the first step. He also wanted to check on the rest of the people.
Neji also planned to visit Tiantian who was in the same team, but Xiao Li and Kai had already gone there one step ahead.
When he raised his feet to visit the ward where Tiantian was, he suddenly noticed a strange smell spreading in the air.
"Who is there?"
Neji turned around cautiously, his pupils fixed on the corner, where there was a person hiding.
The other party had no intention of covering up, so Neji immediately captured the other party's hiding place.
Then, there was a crisp round of applause.
"What a great reflex. You must be Hizashi-senpai's child."
The sound came from behind.
Neji was suddenly startled and turned around again. At some point, about three or four meters in front of him, there was a figure standing, as if he had been standing there a long time ago, blending into the surrounding air.
"Who are you…"
Neji saw the other person's long black hair and beautiful smiling face, and the other person's name, Ayane Ichika, suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was once a member of the Hyuga branch, but he betrayed the clan more than ten years ago, resulting in the deaths of many clan and branch ninjas. He was the most treacherous traitor of the Hyuga clan.
Neji took a step back. Although he didn't think that the other party would attack him at this time, he was careful not to make a big mistake.
The other party was looking for him at this time, and it was obvious that he had a different purpose and a plan.
"Judging from your appearance, my family should know something about me. So, you don't have to be so nervous. You and I are both separated from each other.
From beginning to end, we are all on the same page. How about it, there's still half an hour until the second half of the qualifiers, do you want to come over and talk to me? "
Although the words were full of tenderness and kindness, Neji felt the will in the words that would never allow him to refuse.
"Follow me, it's not appropriate to talk here. You don't want to be noticed by other people in Konoha, you are a young bird who yearns for freedom."
Ayane smiled, and her figure appeared behind Neji and disappeared around the corner.
Neji turned around belatedly, and there was no one there.
After a moment of silence, Neji raised his feet and chose to follow.
