Chapter 176 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Shock: Isn't this my ninjutsu? Even the Kusanagi Sword was
Chapter 176 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Shock: Isn't this my ninjutsu? Even the Kusanagi Sword was useless.
Sasuke discovered that he was being pressed down by the Xuanzhong Ruler and had no way to break free.
The weight of this Xuanzhong Ruler is terrifying beyond description.
At this moment, the eyelids of the surrounding examinees twitched violently at the sight.
What a joke.
The other members of the squad went to get the weapon, but they got pinned down by it and couldn't get away.
"My god, what on earth is that weapon? Even Kiba Inuzuka was knocked away, and Sasuke Uchiha couldn't withstand it?"
"It's unbelievable that Naruto can wield such a heavy weapon so easily?"
"We absolutely cannot let Naruto's metal shard hit us in the next match."
One after another, the examinees from Konoha Village watched this scene with solemn expressions.
As candidates for Konoha, some were even in the same year as Uchiha Sasuke.
Even though they weren't in the same class, they had heard of Uchiha Sasuke's reputation as a genius.
But now this genius is being suppressed by a weapon and unable to break free.
If it were them, they would definitely do the same thing as Uchiha Sasuke.
"Isn't it dangerous to carry that thing?"
Rock Lee looked at Naruto's direction with a conflicted expression: "And he's using the Eight Gates. In the Eight Gates state, speed will increase dramatically. If you get hit by that thing, even Neji will end up like Kiba Inuzuka."
"I should be able to dodge it."
Upon hearing Rock Lee's words, Neji Hyuga spoke in a low voice.
If it were the old him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to avoid it.
But once he unleashed the Lingbo Weibu technique, he felt confident that he could dodge it.
The premise is that Naruto's Eight Gates Formation doesn't open many gates, unlike Rock Lee's.
"Don't worry, Li."
Matt Kai patted Rock Lee on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That kid has only opened two of the eight gates. If you opened three, you could still keep up."
While the ninjas or test takers from Konoha were discussing and exchanging ideas.
Naruto Uzumaki had already helped the Xuanzhong Ruler up, and hurriedly said to Sasuke, "This is a piece of iron that I forged. I didn't expect it to be so heavy."
"Was that just my imagination?"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha frowned as Sakura Haruno helped him up, his face filled with suspicion as he examined the heavy ruler in Naruto's hand.
He had just been thinking of using his chakra, but the flow of chakra became completely uncoordinated, as if it had been suppressed.
"In the third round, Kankuro faced off against Kenshin Misumi."
At this moment, Moonlight Gale spoke up, announcing the contestants for the third round.
"Very good."
Upon hearing this, Kankuro breathed a sigh of relief.
It's pretty good that we didn't run into any Konoha brats.
He wasn't really confident if he encountered those brats from Konoha.
With that thought in mind, Kankuro stepped onto the stage and, witnessed by everyone, easily defeated Kenmi.
"this one?"
"The strength of the Sand Village seems to be really not that great."
"Although they have puppets, their fighting style is far inferior to those two from before."
As Kankuro defeated Tsurugi Misumi and walked down the steps, he heard the discussions among the people present, and his eyelids twitched violently.
Those bastards.
"In the fourth round, Choji Akimichi faces Tos."
The sound of moonlight and swift wind rang out once again.
Then, battle after battle began; some succeeded, and some failed.
The match didn't end until noon.
Of the forty-two, only twenty-one remained.
"Because there is one extra person, one person will have to advance by a bye."
On the field, Moonlight Gale looked at the list of those who advanced and said, "Next, we will draw the names of those who received a bye, and then the remaining twenty people will start their matches."
"A bye!?"
"As expected, I guessed it from the beginning. There is someone who only needs to pass one round to advance."
"It has to be me. I don't want to fight anymore. Fighting will only make me more injured. If I were to face those monsters from Konoha, I would be finished."
Upon hearing Moonlight Gale's words, everyone present began to breathe rapidly.
A bye means you can directly advance to the third exam, and everyone hopes to be one of them.
"etc."
Suddenly, someone seemed to realize something and exclaimed in astonishment with a strange expression, "If that's the case, then even with the ten people who advance and the one who got a bye, there will still be eleven. Doesn't that mean there will be another bye in the third Chunin Exams?"
"Possibly, but also not necessarily; it depends on the regulations for the third official match."
"Probably not. If they get a bye in the third round, then they'll automatically become Chunin."
One by one, people were whispering among themselves.
While everyone was discussing it, Tenten, Hinata, and the others stared at the screen with bright eyes.
"It has to be me."
Looking at the content on the screen, Tian Tian rubbed his hands excitedly, his face full of anticipation.
If it's your turn to leave, you can leave first.
At this point, the results of the filter appeared on the screen.
Hinata Hyuga's name and portrait were displayed.
"Oh, it wasn't me."
Seeing this, Tenten sighed and looked at Hinata not far away: "Hinata, you're really lucky."
"Huh? It's me?"
At this moment, Hinata stared blankly at the image of herself that appeared on the screen.
She never expected it would be herself.
"They've secured their advancement, that's great news."
Beside him, Shino Aburame whispered, "Kiba has already been eliminated. If you advance and I advance, it means that at least two of us will become Chunin in the third exam."
"Moreover, it's a good thing that you've now skipped the third exam."
As she spoke, Shino Aburame glanced down at Rock Lee.
"It's that child from the Hyuga clan."
"That kid is really lucky; he actually got a bye."
"The Sound Village ninja who fought her before was no match for her Gentle Fist."
One after another, the ninjas of Konoha couldn't help but glance at Hinata Hyuga standing beside Kurenai Yuhi in the distance.
"Congratulations, Hinata."
Seeing this, Kurenai Yuhi smiled and patted Hinata on the shoulder: "You can go back now. I'll let you know if there's any news."
"Then, let's begin the second round."
At this moment, Moonlight Gale looked at the information flashing on the screen again and said, "Round 2, Match 1, Tenten vs. Tos Anvil, please come up."
"Luckily, I'm the first one."
Seeing that he was the first to go on stage again, Tian Tian walked over excitedly with a look of excitement on his face.
Even if I don't get a bye, as long as I go first in the first match, I can finish the battle quickly and then leave to find Lin Mo.
"How could it be her?"
As Tos-Kane watched Tenten excitedly step onto the stage, his expression changed.
This terrifying little devil is completely unreasonable.
I've seen that kid's iron spear before; combined with its terrifying power, it could overwhelm everything.
Damn it, I didn't run into Uchiha Sasuke in the second exam, but instead ran into this guy.
"It's a real shame it's not Naruto."
Just as Tos Kinu's expression turned grim and he was about to step forward, Orochimaru, disguised behind him, let out a soft sigh.
He casually grabbed a sword and tossed it to Tos Anvil: "Here, borrow it. Without that iron spear to support its power, that brat is no match for you."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Tos's previously unpleasant expression suddenly turned into one of delight.
It's actually the Kusanagi Sword.
Orochimaru's weapon.
This is a sure thing.
With this sword, I can easily take care of that brat.
For ninjas, ninja tools can greatly amplify their power.
Especially Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword.
In an instant, Tos Anvil stepped forward, sword in hand.
"Isn't that guy supposed to use sound waves? He's using a sword too?"
"What a pity. Although he was strong before, he was no match for this brat from Konoha."
"Using a sword as a weapon puts you at a disadvantage from the start."
Seeing that Tos Anvil was carrying a sword as he entered the arena, the examinees present all had strange expressions.
The ninjas of the Sound Village actually use swords as weapons?
Even among ninjas, using a sword as a weapon is somewhat of a waste.
It's not as good as swords, spears, or clubs when it's long, and not as good as hidden weapons when it's short. This thing is completely tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.
"It's a sword."
Tian Tian looked at the Kusanagi sword in Tos Kinu's hand and immediately shook his head.
This is a sure thing.
One shot is enough to send the opponent flying.
"The match begins!"
At that moment, Moonlight Gale saw the two people coming up on stage and spoke up decisively.
"boom!"
With Moonlight Gale's command, the match officially began. Tian Tian instantly raised his spear, exerted his strength, and a powerful shockwave erupted from his feet, propelling him towards Tos Anvil like a whirlwind.
The iron spear in her hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight, like a silver dragon, thrusting towards Tos Anvil with unparalleled power.
"it's over!"
Tian Tian was incredibly confident.
With this immense power, a single shot would be enough to send Tos Anvil flying.
However, just as the spear was about to strike Tos Kinu, Tos Kinu suddenly dodged to the side and swung his Kusanagi sword.
"when!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out as Tos Kinu blocked the powerful attack with his Kusanagi sword!
The impact caused Tian Tian's iron spear to break in two, with the tip flying far away before landing on the ground with a clang.
"What?!"
The sudden scene caused Tian Tian's expression to change instantly, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The iron spear that he had painstakingly crafted in his own home was easily cut in half by the other party?
The surrounding audience also widened their eyes, focusing their attention on the Kusanagi sword in Tos Kinu's hand.
"What kind of weapon is that? How can it so easily cut through an iron spear?"
"How was that sword forged? This kind of weapon is no ordinary weapon."
"The outcome is hard to say now. That child's strength is all focused on his weapon. Without that weapon, his combat power will be greatly reduced."
One of the people who advanced through the first round analyzed the situation and narrowed his eyes.
If they lose this match every day, then their third exam match will be a sure thing.
"Is this Lord Orochimaru's weapon?"
Upon seeing this, Tos the Anvil's face lit up with ecstatic joy, his heart pounding with excitement.
He couldn't have withstood that terrifying force without the sword bestowed upon him by Lord Orochimaru.
it's good now.
Seeing that Tenten was now unarmed, Tos Kinta sneered, "Kid, without a weapon, what can you use to fight me? You're doomed to lose today!"
Having said that, Tos Kinugami suddenly swung his Kusanagi sword.
Simultaneously, in conjunction with sonic ninjutsu, the blade emitted a low hum in the air, accompanied by a powerful sonic attack, heading straight for Tenten.
The sound waves spread out like invisible blades, enveloping the entire area.
Tian Tian's ears immediately started ringing, and she felt dizzy.
"Oh no!"
Tian Tian's heart tightened, and he quickly used the broken gun in his hand to defend himself.
But the opponent's sword was too sharp, and the sonic attack was also very troublesome, so she couldn't swing the broken gun with all her might.
"Clang! Clang!"
After several exchanges, Tian Tian's spear shattered one after another, and the cracks on the spear became more and more numerous.
Finally, in a violent collision, the already broken spear shattered completely into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Tos Kinu's smile grew even more arrogant. He charged at Tenten again, wielding his Kusanagi sword: "Let's see how you block this now!"
This brat is completely out of weapons.
"This is troublesome."
Kakashi and the others watched with furrowed brows as they saw Tenten retreat to the edge of the field.
Even they didn't expect that Tian Tian, who could easily pass the exam, would actually fail in the weapon aspect.
Without weapons, Tenten's combat power has been greatly weakened.
If you fight your opponent bare-handed, you have virtually no chance of winning.
Seeing Tosu Kinu wielding the Kusanagi sword and launching a fierce attack that gave Tenten no chance to catch her breath, Sarutobi Asuma and the others frowned.
"No way, that weapon broke so easily?"
On the ground, Naruto Uzumaki watched this scene with a suspicious look on his hand, looking at the Xuanzhong Ruler.
If my Xuanzhong Ruler were to be used against that sword, would it also be easily destroyed?
That's probably impossible.
He felt that the long gun in Tiantian's hand probably didn't come from Mr. Lin Mo's jar shop.
Otherwise, there's no reason why it would be cut in half by a sword.
"This guy's sonic attacks are really troublesome."
"And this sword, if you touch it, you'll definitely get hurt."
At this moment, Tian Tian, who was on the field, frowned as she faced Tos Anvil, who was wielding a longsword.
Because she never imagined that the iron spear she had crafted in her home would be broken so easily.
However, she wasn't flustered.
Marksmanship is just one of his methods.
Since the spear is unusable, we'll have to resort to another method.
"If you don't want to die, just admit defeat, kid."
At this moment, Tos Anvil suddenly swung his sword, and a sharp sonic wave struck again, the powerful airflow almost pushing Tenten to the brink of despair.
Seeing that Tos Anvil's sonic attack was approaching again, Tian Tian quickly retreated.
At the same time, he quickly inserted his hands into the sealing scroll at his waist, and then suddenly unfolded the sealing scroll in his hands.
"Splash!"
The scroll rotates and unfolds, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Then she quickly formed hand seals.
In an instant, countless kunai and shuriken roared out of the scroll, turning into a silver light that filled the entire arena.
"What is this?"
In the audience, many people stared wide-eyed in shock at the sudden burst of countless ninja tools.
"The hand seals are forming so fast, I can't see them at all."
"Look, it seems like they're still adding more ninja tools!"
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
"Sword Shadow Clone Technique!"
Tian Tian let out a low shout and sent one of his shuriken flying toward Tos Anvil.
The moment the shuriken flew out, it instantly split into hundreds of pieces in mid-air.
"Splash!"
Immediately afterwards, these shuriken continued to split, transforming into tens of thousands of darts that swept densely toward Tos Anvil.
"This is impossible!"
Witnessing the surging tide of shuriken, a look of fear flashed in Tos Anvil's eyes, and his breathing became rapid.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood in the audience, his brow furrowed, his pupils suddenly contracting: "That's... a shadow clone of a shuriken?"
"Is it an advanced ninjutsu that combines sealing techniques with ninja tools?"
"Has this child already developed ninjutsu that combines ninja tools?"
In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Tenten's message.
A child with talents in space-time manipulation and ninjutsu.
But it is truly incredible that such ninjutsu could be developed.
And why does this ninjutsu have elements of its own ninjutsu?
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Tenten, who was performing this ninjutsu.
If he wasn't mistaken, the child's hand seal speed was also frighteningly fast.
Keep in mind, this is a high-difficulty A-rank ninjutsu.
At this moment, the audience held their breath and watched the battle on the field intently.
None of them expected that this seemingly weak Tian Tian would possess such powerful destructive force.
Compared to the previous spear, this ninja tool's burst of power is more dazzling and direct!
The pride and confidence in Tos Kinu, who was carrying the Kusanagi sword, were instantly swallowed up by the barrage of shuriken.
Even with the Kusanagi sword in hand, and struggling to parry, every time he blocked a shuriken, more shadow clones followed closely behind.
These shuriken attacks are incredibly swift!
It was even more threatening than Tian Tian's spear, as if it would completely surround and devour him.
"hateful!"
Tos Kinu roared and swung his Kusanagi sword to desperately defend, but his movements had become noticeably slower, and his arms gradually became weak and exhausted from the high-speed blocking.
He simply didn't have the extra time to use ninjutsu.
Even if sound waves affect these shuriken, it won't have much of an impact.
The shadow clones before him seemed to wield endless swords, as if they were about to completely trap him.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Several shuriken suddenly attacked from different angles, and Tos Anvil's sonic defense was finally breached.
Several shuriken pierced his shoulder and leg, causing him to lose his balance and stagger to the ground.
"what!"
Tosu Kinu let out a painful scream as his sonic ninjutsu completely collapsed, exposing him entirely to Tenten's attack range.
Tenten didn't relax, continuing to manipulate the sealing scroll in her hand, launching more kunai and shuriken, instantly and completely blocking Tos-Kane's escape route.
Tos the Anvil's expression changed from horror to terror.
