"how."
The clean and concise words came directly from Aburame Shino's mouth.
As for this last inquiry, he did not use the insect as a bridge of communication between the two, because it didn't matter even if it was heard by someone who was interested.
Instead, always using small means to communicate silently will make others wary.
After hearing the other party's voice again, a helpless smile suddenly appeared on Nara Shikamaru's face.
"Whatever."
"Anyway, there is no loss for me."
"It's not me who wants to die."
He tried his best to appear nonchalant, and at the same time mentioned the word [death] for the third time.
This is an implicit reminder to the other party not to take the matter of winning respect for the teachers too seriously.
Otherwise, once the opponent is really angered, even if a senior ninja from the village is present as the examiner, his life may not be saved.
"Yeah, I understand."
"Thanks."
Hearing this, Shino Aburame took out her right hand from her pocket and gently lifted the frame of the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
Although the other party's answer was not direct, he finally got the answer he wanted.
All that's left to do is race against time.
Whether his bugs can successfully evolve and mutate into drought- and frost-tolerant properties before the battle, or whether the clan next to him, known as the brain of Konoha, can find the opponent's weaknesses in the next battle, it will become The key to winning.
The opportunity only lasts for a short period of time.
Because it is conceivable that no matter whether the contestants who are successfully promoted from the first section are Uchiha Haizumi or Kurama Yakumo, they will not compete with the former for the final winning spot in a real sense.
Therefore, apart from this first game, which is almost finalized, only when competing for the winner of the second interval can we have the opportunity to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
Between Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara, Aburame Shino is naturally more inclined to the latter to win the competition.
It's not that he has any bad negative impression of Sasuke, his classmate at the same time, but he simply believes that the latter's [Sand Absolute Defense] can withstand that person's offensive for a longer period of time.
This will naturally buy Nara Shikamaru more analysis time.
What's more, they had already witnessed the battle between Sasuke and that man before.
The result was a complete defeat! !
All the offensive intentions created by Uchiha Sasuke were seen through by the opponent.
[So hurry up, hurry up a little faster. 】
One after another, tiny insects emerged from the wide trousers and moved one after another towards the boundary sealed by ice and snow.
But until now, no parasite has been able to withstand the cold ice and mutate. This result is obviously not what he expected.
"Now, I said."
"Did you forget something?"
And just when Shino Aburame was trying to suppress the restlessness in her heart and carefully dispatching insects continuously, Nara Shikamaru's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
He did not answer, but looked directly at the other party, indicating that the other party should directly ask his question.
Because at this time, his mind was completely focused on the insects, and he basically had no brain capacity to think about other things.
And I have to admit that Nara Shikamaru's mind is indeed better than his own.
Seeing this, the latter did not show any pretense, but directly pointed at the shadow clones that kept disappearing in the ice because they could not withstand the cold and said:
"The reason why Uchiha Ara can use such a wide range of ice escape ninjutsu is because Naruto has enough shadow clones, right?"
"Last time, in front of the No. 44 Proving Ground, the reason why he also chose to use ice escape ninjutsu to attack Hyuga Neji was because there was a distance between the two, right?"
After a pause, Nara Shikamaru, who received no response, continued to add.
Such words began to make Shino Aburame frown slightly, and he seemed to have found something fishy in them.
"you mean........"
"I mean, are your bugs fire resistant?"
When the other party subconsciously asked a hesitant question, Nara Shikamaru had already answered.
After all, in the final analysis, Ice Release, a chakra energy that does not exist in the five basic attributes, is a special blood inheritance limit, not a universal ninjutsu or secret technique.
What you need to know is that the Uchiha clan is recognized as the strongest fire-controlling family! !
It's just that such a name has been suppressed by the blood successor of this clan, the Sharingan.
Hearing this rhetorical question, Aburame Shino suddenly became speechless, and her movements to control the parasitic insects to adapt to the cold also slowed down a bit.
However, this pause was only for a moment. Soon he was withdrawn from this state and continued to guide the parasites towards the cold ice to carry out analysis and mutation tasks.
Do your best and obey destiny.
This is his attitude at the moment.
What's more, the Aburame clan is not something that can be solved simply.
"Well, you naturally have advantages."
"At least, in the state of the insect clone, his physical attacks will have no effect on you."
"Of course, that's while your bugs and chakra are still strong."
After several unintentional verbal blows from himself, Nara Shikamaru also thought of boosting the morale of those around him at the same time.
However, after thinking hard, this is all he can find for the time being.
The rest depends on what kind of power Uchiha Ara will use to fight in the next duel, so that further analysis can be carried out.
"Um."
"I see."
Shino Aburame nodded slightly to show her understanding.
At the same time, Huang, who stood in the center of the field, also showed a hint of impatience.
"You haven't announced it yet?"
"Examiner."
His opponent had been completely sealed in the ice, and the shadow clones that covered the field all collapsed in a few breaths.
The game should have ended here.
'hiss. '
Hearing this, his whole body went stiff, and the blood flowing in his body was completely blocked before Shiranui Genma could remember his duty!
This is not because he is lazy and does not strictly perform his responsibilities.
But except for Uzumaki Naruto, a contestant who also stands on this land, no one can empathize with him and appreciate the horror and power of this secret technique! !
"The winner, the winner is Uchiha Ara."
"Please quickly, quickly release the support of this ninjutsu."
He announced with a trembling voice.
His body was trembling, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear for the former.
If the other party hadn't deliberately controlled the release of this secret technique, then he might have turned into a lifelike ice sculpture in the first place.
Hearing this answer, Uchiha Ara's eyes slightly lowered, and after scanning the Uzumaki Naruto who was still frozen and still maintaining the original seal state, he turned sideways towards the direction of the lounge.
And just when he took the first step, the whole environment that was like the coming of winter suddenly turned like the coming of the blazing sun, and the ice lines on all sides began to melt away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, there is one exception, which is the wall located in the contestants' lounge.
The cold and clear ice not only showed no sign of receding, but actually launched a radical counterattack!
Even the final condensed ice edge pointed directly at one of the contestants.
But the target was not Uchiha Sasuke, who was rumored to have irreconcilable conflicts with him.
It was one of the Konoha genin who looked very mysterious wearing sunglasses and a stand-up collared windbreaker.
"Who is that guy?"
"Why did Uchiha Ara do such a thing?"
"Provocation, intimidation, or fear?"
Such an undisguised action immediately attracted the attention of some people who were always paying attention to the dynamics of the battlefield.
And the message from the Konoha genin holding the bag with both hands was immediately passed on to many gamblers and ninja leaders.
After all, the guy who can make the seeded player Uchiha Ara show some depth must not be an ordinary person.
"Tsk, it seems your little trick has been discovered."
"So, do you want to give up?"
As a participant, Nara Shikamaru instantly understood the meaning of this ice edge.
Obviously the other party has noticed that there are some little things in the edge area that are snooping and analyzing their own power.
This ice edge pointed directly at the side of the same period is the most basic warning.
As for the parasites along the way, they have all turned into dead objects frozen in ice.
"of course not,"
"If you want to ask why, then there is only one reason,"
"The Aburame clan is never afraid of challenges."
The expression on Aburame Shino's face didn't change at all, with her hands in her bags, and even her gaze under her sunglasses didn't deviate at all.
"Yes Yes."
"Then I wish you..."
Just when Nara Shikamaru wanted to say some blessings, a low roar suddenly sounded from the arena.
"I,"
"I didn't lose!!"
Following the sound, I saw Uzumaki Naruto, who was supposed to be sealed in the ice, actually breaking free from it.
What he could feel was that powerful and uncontrollable chakra energy surged out of his body, and the color of that chakra turned out to be red, not blue in the traditional sense! !
【What's happening here. 】
[How could that crane tail still possess such power? 】
Nara Shikamaru's eyes suddenly became confused and solemn.
That guy is indeed the most amazing guy!
"oh?"
"It seems that this little guy named Uzumaki Naruto also has some secrets hidden in him."
"To be able to forcefully break free from such a terrifying ninjutsu, and still maintain a certain, no, increasingly stronger fighting power."
Looking at the little guy who was gradually withdrawing his entire body from the ice, the Yondaime Kazekage spoke without any hesitation.
And the person he was talking about was undoubtedly the Sandaime Hokage beside him.
In response to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen just chuckled and continued, seemingly very naturally:
"That little guy always brings unexpected results."
"In the second qualifier, I won my game in a way that others could hardly imagine."
"The leading teachers of the same class all privately call him the most surprising ninja."
"This competition should have just begun."
"Lord Luo Sha, please continue reading with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes fell on Uzumaki Naruto, and substantial desire arose from his eyes.
As for the voice-over hidden in the former's mouth, it has no intention of answering.
"Ah."
In response, the Yondaime Kazekage just chuckled and had no intention of continuing to expose it.
Because he also wanted to see the showdown between Uchiha Ara and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
If the real Nine-Tailed Natural Disaster could be found, today would be even more interesting.
"I haven't lost yet,"
"shortage!!"
Looking at the man's back, for some reason, there was an inexplicable resentment filling Naruto Uzumaki's heart.
It was as if there was a nameless temptation, urging him to tear the guy in his sight to pieces! !
At the same time, the surging chakra energy was like an open flood. Under the influence of this energy, the surrounding ice and crystals gradually collapsed and turned into powder! !
Hearing the sound, Huang turned around.
What caught my eye was Uzumaki Naruto's bowed figure, ready to go.
Apart from the special red chakora energy, the most unfamiliar and heart-stopping thing is the increasingly distorted face and the fierce eyes.
"Then just keep trying."
Regarding the former's provocation, Huang showed no concern, and his indifferent expression was the same as before.
However, this was exactly the answer that Uzumaki Naruto wanted to get at this moment. Before he could even finish his words, the little Kyuubi who had escaped from the ice was already running towards him without any plan.
Such a posture is simply like a beast with brute strength but no intelligence.
Of course, this attack turned into a complete joke!
Facing the Uzumaki Naruto who was attacking madly, what Ara did was to wait for him to approach and intend to launch an attack, then gently move his position, and then raise his foot to kick his back as he stumbled past.
There was nothing clumsy about this response.
The little Kyuubi that was hit was like a cannonball in an instant, smashing into the walls of the stands on all sides.
"Tum!"
The dull sound of collision was accompanied by clear cracks in the wall and spider patterns spreading in all directions.
However, for ordinary ninjas, this blow would definitely lose most of their combat power, but for Uzumaki Naruto, it did not seem to be a too serious injury.
Before the exclamations from the audience ended, the guy had already slowly climbed up from the gravel.
Moreover, the fierce light flowing in Yu Zhi's eyes became stronger, and the expression on his face became more distorted. Without much hesitation or introspection of his injuries, he rushed towards the opponent in his field of vision again.
The whole situation is like a bull that is gradually losing its mind!
【kill,】
【killed,】
[Kill him, damn Uchiha! ! 】
It seems that deep in his soul, there is a crazy roar that begins to overlap and resonate with his thoughts! !
