Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 91
On the highest spectator stage, from this position, you can have an unobstructed view of the situation on the field.
But even on the highest stage of the audience, everyone here is sitting in distinct layers.
The most conspicuous place in the audience, sitting here is naturally Shion, the shrine maiden who represents the supreme divine authority of the land of ghosts.
On the two sides behind her, stood a priestess, protecting Shion’s safety. On the lower left side of it, there is Fenghua Xiaoxue, the famous name of the country of snow, to participate in such a feast as a famous name of a country, and naturally must be respected. Next to them were Satafu, an assistant minister of the Snow Country, and a Junin from the Snow Country, wearing a set of heavy and precise heavy armor, only showing his eyes, giving people a sense of oppressive power. 3
After that, the number of people increased. .
Shiraishi, Ruri, and Ayane are the top military and government officials of the country of Oni, as well as the four generations of Kazekage Luosha who came to offer condolences as representatives of the Kingdom of Sand and Kaze, as well as representatives of Kazuki and Kazuki. Terumi Mizukage, the agent of the country of water, attended. Behind the two of them, they all followed the powerful Jōnin as a **** to protect them. 1
The messengers from other countries are also gathered here and distributed in an orderly manner.
There are also more special characters, such as the Hinata Hana, who represented the Konoha Hinata clan, which is also located here. With the support of Konoha Anbu and the branch ninja, they sat down here.
Although it is a good scene to see the Hinata clan of Konoha and the Hinata clan of the land of ghosts fighting each other here, but the people here will not ignorantly mention such embarrassing things at this time.
Some words can only be said in secret, and cannot be declared in such a public place, otherwise it is very likely to attract double pressure and targeting from the country of ghosts and Konoha.
While the scene was still warming up, Liu Li’s eyes inadvertently glanced at Fengying Luosha’s body, revealing a little surprise in her eyes.
Although I heard from Shiraishi yesterday that Luo Sha will represent Sha Yin and Kaze no Kuni to attend the finals of the Joint Chunin Examination, but seeing the other party coming in person, I still can’t believe it.
As a personal participant in the Wind Nation War four years ago, and one of the main culprits that led to the serious decline of Shayin’s military power in recent years, Liuli is quite aware that in the almost one-sided massacre, Luo Sha How depressing it was.
It can be said that as one of the Five Shadows, even his self-esteem as Fengying was severely beaten. At that time, Sha Yin even began to consider removing Luo Sha’s position of Fengying and selecting other strong Shangnin to serve as the Five Dynasties. shadow positions. 1
At that time, when everyone was not optimistic about Luo Sha, the other party actually survived such a desperate situation and came to the country of ghosts as a messenger. Liuli couldn’t help but glance at the other party.
I just didn’t know that after regaining her faith, Lord Kazekage could now take a few swords from her without being defeated. 6
Liuli couldn’t help but look forward to it.
In the lively atmosphere of the scene, time also passed every minute and every second.
“Then, it’s almost time to announce the start of the game.”
Seeing that it was almost time, Shiraishi stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the platform.
His every move has attracted the attention of most people. Although his reputation is still not as popular as the so-called five shadows, he is not inferior to the five shadows in terms of status, but the degree of dissemination is not so broad, and it will take time. accumulation.
This joint Chunin exam is a good opportunity to promote myself and the country of ghosts.
Although gaining great fame will expose himself to certain dangers, countless assassins who want to make a name for themselves are staring at his head. But in today’s country of ghosts, there is indeed no need for covert actions.
With his current strength, he is not afraid of any assassination. 6
When the eyes of most people in the venue were concentrated, the lively sound of the scene began to weaken, and the voices of the audience only spread in a small range, whispering.
It was also the first time for Shiraishi to host such a scene, but compared to the more tense and exciting war scenes, this kind of scene could not cause any turbulence in Shiraishi’s heart.
With an indifferent smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, he picked up the microphone handed over by the person next to him. Under the circumstance of all the attention, the voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present:
“Dear viewers, first of all, I would like to thank you all for traveling thousands of miles to participate in the third test of the joint Chunin Exam held by our country of ghosts. Fourteen Shimonin candidates who advanced from the qualifiers will compete in pairs. Now I announce—”2
“The final has officially started!”
After Shiraishi said these words, the audience at the scene was quiet for a while, and then burst out with enthusiastic shouts like a mountain torrent.
The atmosphere at the scene was once again dominated by the enthusiasm of the audience.
The fourteenth Genin, who was located in the center of the competition stage, was also slightly frightened by the fierce enthusiasm of the audience.
Although some Jinnin don’t like to show their abilities in front of everyone’s eyes, they also know that now is not the time to hesitate. Bearing the honor of the village and the country, they can only keep fighting all the way in this final.
Taking Shiraishi’s words as a signal, Kamijin Guishima, the chief examiner of the third exam, faced the fourteen Shimanin candidates with a positive image.
He took out a game chart, and Onishima Shinobi said to these men: “Then, please confirm again now, which opponents you will face next. And if you advance in the first round, who will the next opponent meet? , and then make the most of what you know to analyze the stakes and gain a higher chance of winning.”1
According to the above drawing, the first round of the fourteenth Genin will hold seven games, and the seven games will be divided into two groups, the first four games will be group A, and the last three games will be group B. In other words, due to the lack of a game in Group B, the winner of the fifth game will have a bye and go directly to the semi-finals. The winners of the sixth and seventh games, the same as the players in Group A, need to advance step by step.
Seeing the distribution map of the competition system, Asuka, a contestant in the fifth game, also showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. 7
As long as he wins, he will have a bye in one game and go directly to the semi-finals.
This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for him, who is not very well-off in Chakra. 4
The premise is to win the first round in order to qualify for the top four.
Temari, who was also a contestant in the fifth match of the first round, also showed joy and felt good luck.
As one of the three female ninjas in the final, she was supposed to be weaker than the boys in terms of endurance.
If there is a bye after the promotion, she can have enough time to recover her stamina and chakra.
The rest of the people also had different thoughts, constantly figuring out how to carry out the next tactics in their minds.
“The rules of the game should have been sent to you two days ago, and you probably won’t make any illegal actions. So, now, please invite the two players from the first game, Gaara of Sandyin, and Kiriyin. The village’s Shiro stayed for the first game. The rest of the people, please go to the observation deck during the qualifiers and wait quietly for the time being. Your guide, Joinin, is also there. Maybe in the future battles, he will provide you with some good ideas. reference.”1
Under the orders of Shinobu Onigishima, Gaara and Shiro stayed at the venue.
The rest of the people exited the arena in an orderly manner, passed the stairs, and walked to the high observation deck during the preliminaries.
It’s not just the guides from each group that gathered here, some players who were eliminated in the qualifiers, such as Shikamaru, Choji, Kankuro, and others gathered here.
Compared with the audience platform with seats, although the observation platform not only arranges the seats, but also has a larger space between each other, it will not appear crowded, and there is a better space for activities. More importantly, it is closer to the stage of the competition, and can see the whole picture of the competition venue more clearly.
Although a huge screen was erected on both sides of the field, it was able to present the scene on the competition stage in great detail. However, compared with the scenes visible to the naked eye, the battle pictures seen through the screen will inevitably lose some unique charm.
“Shukamaru, you are here too.”
Naruto came up and said hello.
“Yeah, as the contestants in the qualifiers, we are also qualified to stand here to watch the game. Compared with the audience, it is a little clearer here.”
Shikamaru nodded.
Next to him, Dingji kept eating snacks and looked at the playing field below with a smile.
At this time, Temari and Kankuro were not thinking about the game, but were looking at the highest spectator stand opposite.
There, their father Shidai Kazekage was present there.
Although his father can also take time out of his busy schedule to watch their games as children, there is also a little worry in his eyes. 2
They are very worried that the father sitting there will bring back not so good memories of the past because of some things.
After all, sitting there, there is the culprit who caused Sandyin’s weakness a few years ago.
Just thinking about it, they also knew that their father, Luo Sha, was under such great pressure and pain that he stayed there calmly.
Junin Maki was also very worried, because Luo Sha came in person, this was something that was not notified in advance. 11
It’s just that compared to Temari and Kankuro who were still immature, although he was also worried about the situation on Luo Sha’s side, he was able to take care of the emotions on his face.
As the strongest pillar of Shayin Village, he didn’t want Luo Sha to have another accident.
Especially in the land of ghosts where the gap is deep.
At this moment, there was an astonishing movement on the stage of the competition.
I saw eight Oni no Kuni ninjas distributed in the four corners of the stage, with one ninja sitting cross-legged in each corner.
These four sitting ninjas had striking red hair, biting scrolls in their mouths, and their hands were tied in intricately intricate patterns. 6
Immediately, a colorful light curtain rose into the sky, extending to a height of hundreds of meters, and then slowly stopped the upward trend and stabilized.
At the same time, a space similar to a triangle appeared at the bottom of the colored light curtain, and the ninja of Yuyin and the Jōnin beside him were enveloped in the enchantment together.
The colored light curtains are connected in pairs to tightly surround the playing field, forming a cage area similar to a square.
After the formation of this Jedi, the color of the light curtain immediately melted into the air and disappeared. On the light curtain, there are only occasional transparent ripples to distinguish the boundary between the inside and outside of the light curtain. 1
“What is that?”
Naruto pointed to the light curtain that was beginning to become transparent.
“That is a spirit formation. In order to ensure that the attacks of you contestants will not affect the audience, it is specially prepared. As long as you are in this formation, your attacks cannot be extended to the outside, which ensures that the spectators will not be attacked. safety of life.”1
Kakashi looked away from “Intimacy Paradise” and glanced at the transparent light curtain.
After all, no matter how much they perform, the skills of ninjas are ultimately used to kill people.
The aftermath of the battle will cause ordinary people to lose their lives quickly.
In order to avoid such a thing from happening, it is natural to regulate the aftermath of the ninja battles within a controllable range.
“It’s too much.”
On the competition stage, Gaara also noticed this, frowned, and seemed to be very disgusted by such careful behavior.
He also disliked this kind of chunin exam in which he couldn’t kill the enemy and showed his abilities to a group of ants.
For him, a battle without death is not a battle.
Therefore, he doesn’t care about the rules or not. If you can’t kill people, it will make the opponent more painful than death, and the organizer will feel sincere regret. 8
I regret designing such a game that can’t kill people.
“I think this is pretty good. I personally don’t like seeing blood. Let’s dedicate a wonderful game.”1
Bai smiled slightly.
Gaara just gave Bai a cold look and didn’t speak.
The formation of the barrier was completed, and the Jōnin colleagues in the triangular barrier made a gesture to Onishima Shinobi, indicating that the game could officially start.
Onishima Shinobu nodded slightly, seeing that Gaara and Shiro were also ready to fight, raised their palms, and then quickly dropped their arms under the eyes of all the people.
Valley
“Then, the first round begins!”
Kaka!
As soon as the game started, Gaara started to form marks, and the floor under his feet suddenly shattered, the cracked stones turned into sand, and condensed into the form of shuriken, hitting Shiro’s position. .
Bai’s eyes fluctuated for a while, the water splashed out from under his feet, and the figure also disappeared from the spot.
By the time the figure appeared, Shiro was already at Gaara’s side, holding a slender book in his hand, and stabbed Gaara’s neck with one end.
scoff!
Almost in an instant, sand poured out of the gourd behind Gaara, forming a sand wall that was harder than steel on the side of Gaara.
Qianben only submerged a little in the sand, so he couldn’t go any further.
Bai was slightly startled, hurriedly grabbed the thousand books in his hand, and stepped back, so that the sand surrounding his body from the side was thrown into the air.
Looking at the sand floating beside Gaara like a living body, his white eyes narrowed.
I didn’t see Gaara Jieyin, and the group of sand suddenly flew out of the gourd. Could it be the sand control technique of Shayin Village, or the technique of Muyin? 2
No, not possible.
From the information he knew, the sand control technique of Shayin Village, although the process of forming the seal was very simple, it was not used directly, and it also needed the cooperation of the seal.
If it wasn’t for the sand in the gourd to spoil the situation, his attack would have already worked.
“What a formidable sand, actually caught up with Bai Shui’s instant body technique.”
On the observation deck, Shuiyue was taken aback when she saw that Shiro’s instant attack was directly blocked.
Although he is also proficient in water ninjutsu, he is not good at the special telekinesis that requires fine chakra manipulation such as water telekinesis.
In terms of Shiro’s Shuishan, even a Chunin is hard to guard against.
“Of course, Gaara is invincible.”
Kankuro smiled coldly when he heard Shuiyue’s surprise. 1
He knew very well what happened to the sand in the Gaara gourd. 5
The sand in the gourd has nothing to do with Gaara’s own consciousness, but the consciousness of the late mother Galuro, which will automatically protect Gaara’s life and safety, and so far, few people have been able to cross this special sand. , directly attacking Gaara’s body. 3
“The guy who was eliminated in the preliminaries, really dare to say it. Bai’s strength is more than that.”
Shuiyue sneered.
“Aren’t you the same, Mist?”
Not to be outdone, Kankuro replied.
“…”
Shuiyue felt like she wanted to go up and beat Kankuro madly.
“Do you have the sand of life? It seems that your son has a good defense.”
Shiraishi turned his head to Luo Sha and said with a smile.
He could feel that the sand in the Gaara gourd has a very strong fluctuation of soul and vitality. 1
This is like the clone made by Shiraishi, able to recover chakra by himself, able to fight by himself, without the need for deliberate manipulation by the practitioner, and able to act autonomously according to his own consciousness.
Although Gaara’s sand has not yet reached this level, it is very close to the clone created by Shiraishi.
In addition to self-disciplined actions, there are certain restrictions, such as not being able to actively attack, only passively protecting Gaara. If the enemy does not attack, the sand will also be silent and will not attack the enemy.
However, Chakra is self-sufficient and does not require the practitioner to provide this, which can be said to be quite impressive.
In other words, protracted battles are bad for White.
Not to mention, in terms of chakra volume, Gaara can be said to be the top group in the genin.
In addition to the Shou crane in his body, except for Naruto, there is no second-placed Genin who can match him in terms of chakra.
“Everywhere, it’s all things that can’t be on the table. He still has a long way to go in the future.”
Luo Sha said modestly, while looking at Gaara, her eyes were full of complexity.
On the stage of the competition, through previous trials, Bai had already determined the speed of Gaara’s sand control and the level of hardness the sand had when condensed.
The speed of sand is almost the same as that of his water body, and its hardness exceeds that of steel.
This means that if he wants to attack Gaara himself, he needs a faster speed and a more powerful attack.
“It’s really a tough guy. If Mr. Bu Zhan is still looking at me, he can’t give up the fight at will.” 5
Said, Bai condensed an ice mirror beside him, and walked into the ice mirror without hesitation.
Gaara sensed something, and I saw a piece of ice mirror above his head. I don’t know when an ice mirror appeared. Bai’s figure suddenly flew out of the ice mirror above, and went straight to Gaara below.
The sand condensed on the top of Gaara’s head to form a sand wall that exceeded the hardness of steel, and once again blocked Chiben in Shiro’s right hand. 1
It’s just that this time, because Shiro’s speed surpassed before, the sand wall just barely blocked the thousand attacks.
Just as Gaara raised his hand and was about to attack Shiro, Shiro’s left hand turned into an afterimage and made a seal.
“Thousand Killing Shuixiang!”
In Gaara’s wide eyes, and in the surrounding air, a large amount of Mizumoto appeared directly, and concentratedly flew towards Gaara’s body.
The 360-degree attack has no dead ends. If he can’t resist this move, there is no doubt that Gaara will be shot into a hedgehog by countless Mizumoto, and the game will end with serious injuries.
boom!
Sand and water splashed around and scattered around.
However, unlike the scattered water, the sand was scattered under the attack of Mizuenmoto, but quickly reconvened, turning into a sand hand and grabbing Shiro’s body.
Bai’s eyes flashed, then disappeared from Gaara’s eyes, flashed to a safe position and stopped.
Gaara stretched out his hand and touched his face, and could clearly feel the wetness between his fingers.
Although he successfully blocked Bai’s sneak attack, the water traces that Shui Qianben scattered still splashed on his face.
So, Gaara had a very hideous smile on his face, as if he was excited about the opponent in front of him and could touch his body, giving people a terrifying sense of oppression.
“Is it still not possible?”
Bai murmured.
However, the next attack should be effective.
Because although the sand blocked his attack, it also successfully got on the water.
The sand that is wet with water will decrease its speed. As long as it continues to maintain the same speed as before, Gaara’s sand will not be able to defend against his next attack.
Do what you want. Bai repeats his old tricks, condensing an ice mirror in a safe place, and his body disappears into it.
Then this time, instead of condensing an ice mirror over Gaara, an ice mirror was condensed behind Gaara.
The moment the ice mirror appeared behind him, the sand that came out of the gourd behind Gaara also reacted instantly.
Bai walked out of the ice mirror, leaving obvious water marks in the air. While holding a part of the sand with Qianben in his hand, the other hand was simultaneously forming a seal.
Countless Mizusenbon appeared again from the air and shot at Gaara’s body at high speed.
The sand and water were attacking each other and scattered around.
Shiro retreated, fixed his eyes on Gaara who was still unharmed under the attack just now, and frowned slightly.
“Hey, what’s the matter? Why is the sand wetted with water still the same speed? And this gourd boy has no knots or gestures from the beginning, right? How did he control the sand?”
On the observation deck, Shuiyue couldn’t believe it.
“His sand is a bit strange, it doesn’t feel like he is controlling it. To break through his defense, the only way to break through his defense is to expand the attack range of ninjutsu.”
Junmarou stared at the two fighting on the field and expressed her opinion.
“A psychic beast in the form of sand? It’s quite rare. For Shiro, the situation may be a bit unfavorable.”
No longer touched his chin~www.mtlnovel.com~ Looking at the sand surrounding Gaara’s body like clouds and mist, his tone was full of surprise.
“Why, are you exhausted? Well, now it’s my turn!”
On the field, looking at Shiro who was in a deadlock state, Gaara said with cold eyes and no emotional fluctuations.
After all, Gaara squatted down slightly, and slammed her hands on the ground.
Boom!
The terrifying shaking started to spread in all directions with Gaara at the center. 2
There were invisible ripples visible to the naked eye in the air, and Bai’s body trembled along with the ground.
“This is……”
Bai suddenly raised his head and looked forward.
The stage under my feet has changed beyond recognition, and countless sands have gathered behind Gaara.
Layer after layer of sand, like a high-rise building, rose from the ground.
The obscuring scene made the field dark, and the shadow swallowed Bai’s body. 1
The light curtain barrier protecting the surroundings of the field also trembled slightly, setting off waves of ripples on the light curtain.
