Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 88
The dazzling sunlight shone through the gaps in the shade on the forest clearing.
Asuka and Aya both bent down and put their palms on their knees, panting there.
On the clothes of the two of them, a large amount of dust can be seen vaguely, and their postures are quite embarrassed.
The surrounding trees were covered with scratches that resembled the sharp claws of beasts, as well as shocking, bowl-sized holes.
The ground was also full of potholes, as if it had been bombed by explosives one after another, and it was shattered.
“Let’s be here today.”
Looking at the two panting in front of him, Kazuhime also lowered her arms, her tone softened, and the originally fierce aura on her body immediately dissipated.
After hearing these words, Asuka and Cai fell to the ground in relief.
A few days have passed since the qualifiers. In the past few days, the two of them have been receiving special training from Yiji to improve their strength as much as possible before the final of the third game.
Compared with the qualifiers, Jinnin, who entered the finals, is basically not a strong enemy who can easily win.
In addition, the final system is a tournament. It is not easy to play one game, but to fight continuously until a ranking is obtained. .
This is a test of the ninja’s own tactical application and willpower.
Because in this tournament, what is needed is not a short-term victory, but a final victory.
If you can’t even see through this, or even make an unintentional move, then you will obviously be excluded from the game at the beginning of the game.
Although the evaluation of the Chunin has nothing to do with the ranking, the more games you play, the more you can show your ability. This is undoubtedly giving yourself extra points, and the higher the probability of advancing to the Chunin.
Because they were too tired, Asuka and Cai didn’t want to talk now, they just sat there eating ration pills and began to recover chakra and physical strength.
Because the special training method was too severe, the two of them couldn’t even draw out a bit of strength before the effects of the Bingbao Pills were exerted. It could be said that they were forced to the limit.
Only in this way, they can only break through their own limits and gain strength in a short period of time.
Even if they got to this point, even if they broke the limit, it was impossible to get any improvement in quality within a few days. even so,
Being able to strengthen a little means that the winning rate in the game will be relatively higher.
If it is really according to what Shiraishi said at the beginning, even if it is a few days of leisure, it is estimated that he will be eliminated soon and become an abandoned child.
“By the way, for the next time, you can arrange it yourself.”
Seeing that the faces of the two of them were slowly turning rosy, Kazuki said.
“Is there no need for special training next?”
Asuka and Cai were slightly taken aback.
Yiji smiled helplessly: “You guys don’t even forget the time, right now, there is only one day left until the final.”
“that is to say”
Hearing Yiji’s words, the two Asuka immediately realized that time had passed so quickly.
Four days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, there was only one day left before the finals began.
But it’s no wonder they didn’t notice this. These days, they have been in the wild for special training. Whether it is day or night, as long as they have rested, they basically spend it in training, and they don’t notice the passage of time at all.
If it wasn’t for Kazuhime’s reminder, they even thought that today was the second day of the preliminaries.
“That’s right, tomorrow morning at nine o’clock is the time for the official start of the finals. There is not much time left for you.”
Kazuhime took out her pocket watch, and the time displayed on it was 11:30 noon. In less than 24 hours, it was the start time of the finals.
In addition to the time for eating and sleeping afterward, the time available for the two of them is estimated to be only about 11 or 12 hours.
At this time, Yiji didn’t plan to use it for special training, but let Asuka and the two arrange freely.
Whether it is used to relax the body or summarize the training results of the past few days, it is up to them to make their own decisions.
“The final… The opponent in the first round is the wind escape ninja. I feel that luck is really bad.”
Asuka thought that the opponent he was going to meet in the first round was Temari from the Kingdom of the Wind, and it was a tricky situation.
Although he had thought about training Huo Dun fiercely these days, no matter how hard he tried to make up for it, Huo Dun could not be accomplished overnight.
Temari’s wind escape technique is very powerful, and ordinary fire escape techniques may not be able to suppress it.
Attributes are mutually restrained, which is also a result that occurs when the power of the spells is the same, and the obtained strength is not much different.
But if the power of Feng Dun is too much stronger than that of Huo Dun, then the restraint relationship of Huo Dun restraining Feng Dun may not be suitable for reality.
Temari, like himself, concentrated all his attacks on one kind of escape technique.
Human energy is limited.
Research work, training with Lei Dun, and practice of writing round eyes have all taken up a lot of energy… In this case, when encountering ninjas who are proficient in ventilation, Asuka feels helpless.
Although Lei Dun is restrained, he also has the confidence to win, but in that case… he may expose more things,
Not good for subsequent games.
After all, the tournament is not the end of a victory, but a protracted battle. In a protracted war, it is inevitable that all the cards will not be exposed at the beginning.
“It’s really tricky for you. But I advise you not to underestimate your opponent. If you only want to hide your tricks, and you are hesitant to use your trump cards, you will be accidentally knocked off the ring…”
Although Kazuhime didn’t say the result, the laughter made Asuka shudder.
really.
This is also the downside of protracted warfare.
Because you want to win the final victory too much, you need to hide your hole cards in the early stage. As a result, you are accidentally defeated because you hide your hole cards… This kind of example is not uncommon in the ninja world.
If you only play one game like in the qualifiers, you naturally have no concerns in this regard, but in the finals of the championship format, any carelessness and clumsiness may make yourself overturned in the gutter.
But in order to ensure the final victory, it is often necessary to hide the means. Therefore, this is a test of the ninja’s instant judgment ability.
“Then, the special training is here. The next time is your free time. I’ll go back first.”
After speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, a few leaves also fell, and Kazuhime’s figure disappeared from the spot.
“It’s great, if you become a Joinin, you don’t need to participate in such a troublesome competition.”
Looking at the direction where Kazuhime left, Asuka showed an envious expression.
“Compared to this, let’s think about the next tactics. However, if Asuka-san wins, then it is very likely that the two of us will face off. Next, it is better for us to practice separately.”
Obviously, Cai planned to use the remaining time to review the results of the special training in the past few days by himself.
“Anyway, they are brothers. It doesn’t matter if they continue to practice together, right?”
“No, I don’t want to be targeted by Brother Asuka. Even if it is a one in ten thousand possibility, I will put an end to it.”
Cai did not hesitate to refuse Asuka’s invitation to practice together.
For him, what Asuka is most terrifying to is not ninjutsu, but the opponent’s mind.
Fortunately, this is just an exam, not a real battlefield. There are a lot of restrictions on ninjas, and only the specified items can be used instead of unlimited use of various tools.
Seeing Cai refused without hesitation, Asuka sighed helplessly.
Although the brothers from childhood to adulthood also conspired together in a small team, but in the finals, they will also become opponents.
It can be said that this is the opponent I least want to meet, no one.
In the past few months of going out and training, most of the main force of hunting Shangnin was in charge of Cai alone, while he and Xianglin both assisted and did not dare to have direct contact with Shangnin for too long.
It would be too terrifying for a ninja with such strength to face an imaginary enemy.
“It seems that you have hidden a lot of strength before, Cai.”
“Isn’t it the same with Asuka? I’m guessing it’s already ready. It’s a trump card for me. When the time comes, I’ll experience it myself.”
The two brothers looked at each other, then smiled slightly.
Although it has not been stated, the personality of the other party is well known.
After all, although they don’t have the same mother, they have the same father.
In this kind of competition, even brothers with blood ties cannot be trusted.
After the second exam, before the third exam was over, they were enemies against each other, not comrades and brothers!
“Ice Dun… It will be Gaara’s first opponent. Although various tactics have been discussed in the past few days, if you meet tomorrow, it may still cause Gaara to fight hard.”
In another forest, Sand Hidden’s trio gathered here.
Next to the three of them, Maki Sain, who was their guide to Joinin, was also here.
Listening to Temari’s analysis, Maki also knew that Shiro Shiro, who owns Bing Dun, had a bad relationship with Gaara.
Of course, Bing Dun does not restrain Gaara’s sand, but Bing Dun’s blood and boundary are evolved from the combination of Water Dun and Wind Dun.
Proficient in Ice Dun, there is no reason not to use Water and Wind. And the water ninja is the type that Gaara is not good at dealing with.
As Sa Yin’s final ace, they naturally hope that Gaara will take the top spot in the final, rather than stop at the first round.
“The water escape will make it more difficult for Gaara to control the sand, and the speed will become slower, but on the contrary, it will also increase the weight of the sand, making the sand’s defense ability stronger.”
Markey gave his opinion.
The sand mixed with water will indeed become very heavy, which will greatly reduce the speed.
But everything has two sides, there is a bad side, but also a good side.
Temari naturally understands this, but it still makes Gaara passive.
Regarding the things Temari was worried about, Gaara had neither sadness nor joy on his face. He naturally knew his flaws in ninjutsu, but if he was afraid, it was not at all.
These days, he is not wasting it in vain. He has already thought about a variety of tactics and used them in the first round.
As Maki said, water will increase the weight of the sand, but it will also increase the weight of the sand relatively, making the sand that chakra condense to a higher level of defense.
As long as it is used reasonably, even the negative side can become the key to victory.
“It would be nice if Gaara could use my father’s gold dust, then the water escape would be completely useless.”
Temari sighed.
Although the technique of gold placer is also derived from the manipulation of sand, the weight of placer gold is far greater than that of sand.
Even if it gets wet, it will not affect the power and speed of placer gold too much.
The load caused by water to gold placer is not as heavy as expected.
But sand is completely different.
This is Gaara’s weakness, and encountering a water ninja will expose this weakness.
“Lord Fengying’s gold dusting technique is already a technique in the category of blood succession. Even if you inherit the blood of Lord Fengying, you may not be able to inherit this kind of power.”
Markey sighed.
It’s no secret that the bloodline limit can be passed on to future generations.
But it is a pity that none of the three children of the four generations of Fengying have inherited the gold dust.
Even the most promising Gaara has yet to demonstrate his ability to manipulate gold dust.
“And compared to Gaara, I think Temari’s side is more worth worrying about.”
Although the water escape will restrain Gaara’s sand, it is not fatal because the sand that Gaara carries with you is a special kind of sand.
The sand that will be restrained by water is just the sand made by Gaara himself, and it is difficult to limit the special sand that Gaara has.
The two cannot be confused.
In contrast, Temari, who also advanced to the final, worried Maki even more.
The opponent is the Uchiha clan of the land of ghosts… As if recalling some terrible past, Maki’s body trembled.
“I?”
“That’s right. Your opponent, Uchiha Asuka, is the child of Uchiha Ruri and Chiba Shiroishi, and is about the same age as you. Although he only shows the ability of Lei Dun at the moment, if he is proficient in Lei Dun, he is also proficient in Lei Dun. Huo Dun, it may be a hard battle for you.”
The ordinary fire escape is ineffective against Ju, but will be blown back by the violent wind. Markey knew this.
However, the fire escape used by the Uchiha clan ninja cannot be viewed with common sense.
Although Asuka has never shown the ability of fire escape, Maki assumes that the opponent is not only proficient in thunder but also proficient in fire ninjutsu.
No reason, just because the other party’s surname is Uchiha.
The relationship between Huo Dun and the Uchiha family is very deep, and it is not an exaggeration to call it one existence.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Maki, I have prepared the water escape scroll in advance. If he doesn’t use the fire escape, it will be fine. Once he uses the fire escape, it will be extinguished by my water escape scroll.”
As for Lei Dun, it is the escape technique Temari is least afraid of.
So, Temari seemed confident when facing Maki’s worries.
“In short, you can’t take it lightly. What you can think of, the other party may also think of. He fought against Konoha Shimonin before, you also understand that he is an extremely cautious person. Besides, he has a third killer – write Wheel eye. Illusion is also a part of you that you need to guard against.”
Markey’s expression was serious.
There were only two Sandy Ninjas who entered the finals.
In any case, you have to win the first round. As for the second, third or fourth round, that is something that should be considered after winning the first round.
“Yes, I understand.”
Temari nodded solemnly.
She can use a scroll of water to create an effect equivalent to that of water, and suppress the fire.
But in the face of Sharonyan, she didn’t have a good way to deal with it.
Mijutsu Ninja is one of the types she’s the worst at dealing with.
Fortunately, her ninjutsu is a long-range attack type, and she will not easily give the enemy a chance to get close. As long as she is a little careful, she is not too worried about the threat of Sharinyan, which makes herself constrained.
“Then, let’s continue training. Kankuro, you are in charge of buying the bento.”
Maki clapped his hands and continued to prepare for the special training of Temari and Gaara, and by the way also gave Kankuro a task who was doing nothing.
Kankuro, who was eliminated in the qualifiers, was naturally a little upset when he heard this: “Why me again?”
That being said, when Gaara’s eyes turned his head, Kankuro immediately fell silent, pursed his lips twice, and then ran away without saying anything.
Brother or something, it’s really scary!
“The Konoha Whirlwind!”
boom!
The two legs collided quickly, and an explosion sounded in mid-air.
“Hahaha, Li, this is youth!”
Kai-ha laughed loudly.
“Yes, Mr. Kai!”
Then Xiao Li also let out a fiery cry. After retreating to the ground, he stopped directly, then suddenly burst into flames and charged towards Kai in front of him again.
Feeling Xiao Li’s incomparable fighting will, Kai was not to be outdone, but in order to ensure that Xiao Li could see his attack clearly, he reduced the speed to a level that Xiao Li could barely see clearly, and kept feeding Xiao Li. trick.
The physical art of punching to the flesh, although it does not look as gorgeous and spectacular as Ninjutsu, but it has a very explosive fighting effect, which will make the others watching it, and they will also be enthusiastic, and they can’t wait to go up to replace one of them.
“Those two youthful idiots are really noisy, and their energy is too good.”
Watching Tiantian from a distance, sticking out his tongue, not knowing where to complain.
He had already practiced all afternoon, but after half a day, he was still there tirelessly for a physical showdown.
This exaggerated physical strength makes Tian Tian very envious.
In contrast, the cultivation on Neji’s side seemed very quiet.
He was just standing alone in another open space, standing there very quietly, as if observing something.
“Seven”
In Bai Yan’s field of vision, the seven birds were clearly caught by Neji’s Bai Yan.
Just when Neji was certain of this number, a bird suddenly flew into the sky from nowhere, causing Neji’s body to be startled.
“Not seven, but eight? The result was the same as before, but one was missed”
Neji turned his head and looked at the bird who didn’t know when it flew high in the sky, showing a complex emotion and a hint of desire.
“Ningji, what are you talking about? What’s missing?”
I came over every day and asked curiously.
Ningji came back to his senses, put away his complicated thoughts and replied: “No, it’s nothing, I was thinking about how to defeat the opponent in the final tomorrow.”
“I remember that your opponent tomorrow, Neji, will be Jinnin from the country of ghosts. It seems that you have white eyes just like you.”
I remembered something every day.
Neji nodded and said nothing.
“However, I believe you will win, Neji, because you are a genius!”
Tian Tian said decisively.
The words were full of confidence and worship for Neji.
Genius?
When Neji heard Tian Tian’s words, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he became firm as Tian Tian said.
Yes, you are a genius!
As a genius, I cannot fail in this game!
Only by thinking like this can some of the unease in his heart be calmed down a little.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and the other party did not hide his whereabouts.
Neiji and Tiantian turned their heads and looked at the person who came. The other party, like Neiji, had black hair, white pupils, and a Konoha ninja guard on his forehead, and came here softly.
“Long time no see, Neji.”
“Senior Tokuma?”
Neji was a little surprised to see the person coming.
The other party is of the same clan as himself, and they are all ninjas belonging to the branch of the Hinata clan.
In Hyuga Tokuma, the special jounin of the branched family is one of the few jounin of the branched family today.
Seeing that Neji’s clansmen had come, Tian Tian was a little strange, but he didn’t unknowingly insert himself into the topic of the two, but left silently and wisely.
The other party’s intention to come, obviously wants to talk to Neji alone, and does not need her outsider to be present.
For Tian Tian’s carefulness, Tokuma also nodded slightly.
Then he put his eyes on Neji, who was a little embarrassed, and said directly: “Master Hua Huo, under the **** of our branch, has arrived at Ziyuan City safely. I think, you already understand what this means, right?”
Neji’s body froze slightly.
Although Hyuga Hana is the second daughter of the current Hyuga Clan Chief, she is the most powerful successor of the clan, and has been recognized by most clans.
As the abandoned child, it is naturally the eldest daughter Hinata.
Now that the Konoha Hyuga clan, the most powerful successor of the clan, has come to Shiyuan City, the country of ghosts, the meaning is self-evident.
It’s for tomorrow’s final.
“Yes.”
Neji lowered his head and said.
Tokuma stepped forward, patted Ningji’s thin shoulder, and sighed, “Sorry, this is the collective order of the head of the family and the clan.
The branch side thought that this was just a game, even if the opponent was Hyuga Ayane’s child, there was no need to take it too seriously, just do your best. But for the Zong family, they can’t wait for the traitors living in the country of ghosts to lose face in tomorrow’s final… Tell the world that the Konoha Hyuga clan is the strongest, and it also represents the orthodoxy. ”
So, tomorrow’s battle cannot be lost.
As long as the first round is won~www.mtlnovel.com~, no matter whether he wins or loses in the following games, Neji will not be punished, but will become a major hero of the family.
But if they lose in the first round, although the people of the Zong family will not criticize anything on the surface, they will inevitably complain to Neji secretly, thinking that he has lost the face of the Konoha Orthodox Hinata clan.
He may even take his anger on Neji’s father, Niizai, to pressure and make things difficult at family meetings.
Thinking of this consequence, Neji couldn’t help clenching his fists, feeling the pressure on his body, making it hard for him to breathe.
I thought it was just a personal battle of honor and disgrace, but the people of the Zong family intervened, and the nature of the matter became completely different.
A little careless, may also involve his father. This is something Neji will not allow to happen.
“I understand, Tokuma-senpai, tomorrow I will fight to the death to win the first round!”
Seeing Neji’s incomparably determined expression, Tokuma was slightly taken aback.
Seemingly feeling Neji’s unshakable faith, Tokuma had no choice but to nod his head in silence.
As the separated family, they don’t have much choice at this time.
It is their lifelong duty to maintain the dignity and life of the clan, even if it means losing their own lives.
“Then I won’t say anything more. Neji, you have a good idea. I’ll go back and report to Master Hua Huo.”
Tokuma let out a long breath, gave Neji a deep look, and turned to leave.
