"So strong! That Kirigakure genin was completely helpless!"
"No wonder, it seems that Sarutobi Shinnosuke used up a lot of his chakra earlier."
"Unfortunately, it was just a matter of finishing touches—"
"However—when that Hidden Mist Village faced our Minato Namikaze, their ninjutsu seemed quite powerful."
'
"It's all just bluffing! It's clearly not going to be effective!"
Minato Namikaze then used a Body Flicker Technique, and his kunai was already pointed at the throat of Karatachi, who was still trying to form hand seals.
"It would be impolite to continue like this." Minato also realized that Karatachi, who had been cornered, was about to form a large water jutsu seal.
If he were to produce the fruit, not only would Minato have to put in extra effort, but the argument that "Karagi consumes a huge amount of chakra" would also be untenable.
As Yagura Karatachi fell silent, Hatake announced, "Yagura Karatachi is eliminated. The next champion is Minato Namikaze. Any genin who wants to challenge Minato Namikaze may now enter the arena."
After Kushina left the field, Minato Namikaze smiled warmly and gently on the field. He even made a point of pointing in the direction where Kushina Uzumaki was—
"What's wrong with you? You're so narcissistic—" Kushina muttered, her face turning red.
"Ah! He's looking this way!"
"You're clearly looking at me—"
"Lord Namikaze, I love you!"
"Didn't you mention Aisin-suke-sama before?"
Looking at the infatuated passersby in front of her, Kushina curled her lip even more.
Meanwhile, unlike the cheers from the stands, the arena was quiet!
After a while, the cheers had subsided, but no one had come up on stage yet.
No wonder!
The previous Yagura Karatachi had already made everyone "unwilling to fight him head-on".
Minato Namikaze now can almost be said to have completely defeated Yagura Karatachi!
They didn't believe in that nonsense about excessive chakra consumption; that was just something Minato told the ordinary villagers.
The truth is, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is very strong, but he's not as good as Yagura Karatachi, and Yagura Karatachi—is not as good as Minato.
Even more critically, on the first arena, the losers are already Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Karatachi Yagura.
Each arena's loser list includes two spots for promotion to Chunin. Tactically speaking, even if you want to advance from the loser's bracket, you need to perform at least better than Sarutobi Shinnosuke. But—
Not to mention that Sarutobi Shinnosuke is not weak in terms of strength, even if he claims to be stronger than him, you can tell from the fact that Minato Namikaze covered for Sarutobi Shinnosuke before that if he went up now, he would definitely be suppressed by him!
Before they could even show anything, they were quickly defeated by this blond-haired kid. Under these circumstances, everyone naturally hesitated to move forward.
Moreover————
This is only the first arena.
There will be even better opportunities to come!
Many people think this way —
"No one is challenging Minato Namikaze, so Minato Namikaze has become the final champion of Ring One!" Hatake announced.
Some are happy, some are sad. Minato Namikaze has secured a promotion spot, which also means—
All three players who have appeared so far have been promoted!
"Oh no, there are only twenty-one people left, and only nine spots available," Yanliu said anxiously.
"If you're so upset, why didn't you go and challenge that blond guy?" Ling said sarcastically from the side.
Although in theory they are all representatives of Kirigakure, but—
Ao, Rin, and Sushiyama were sent by the Mizukage, while Juzo, Ganryu, and Shuilian were representatives of the ninja clans. The conflict between the two sides was far more intense than any external conflict, since there had been no external conflict for more than a decade, and it had always been internal fighting and persecution.
"You—" Yanliu was annoyed by his words, and his female ninja companion, Shuilian, was about to stop him.
Just then, Gouju came over.
"Don't let outsiders watch the spectacle. If you have any strength, go and use it on the field," Yagura Goji tachibana said in a deep voice.
After hearing what Gouju said, both sides actually stopped their attacks.
Akaishi couldn't help but look this way at that moment—
This wasn't the case before the Chunin Exams started!
At the time, putting aside others, Xiguashan and his group didn't care about goji berries at all, but now—
It seems that during the previous Chunin Exams, Karatachi also impressed the other two teams of Genin from Kirigakure.
Mizukage Ina seemed to have noticed this as well, and his expression turned ugly.
Unfortunately, nobody cared.
The atmosphere was much more harmonious where the Konoha genin were gathered. Seeing Minato come down, everyone rushed forward to congratulate him. Shinnosuke, having received treatment, also returned, saying shyly, "Minato—thank you!"
Akaishi then stepped forward: "Shin-chan, I'm both saddened by your passing and congratulatory—even though you didn't win a single match, it seems you've secured a promotion spot!"
"What you're saying—makes a lot of sense!"
"Next up, please welcome our second champion, Huang Tu from Iwagakure."
With Hatake's introduction, Huang Tu, with a round face, jumped onto the ring.
Meanwhile, Akaishi noticed that Hizashi beside him was already rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
During the preliminary test, Huang Tu had a conflict with Akaishi and Shinnosuke's team. An ambush almost killed Shinnosuke and Hiashi, but Minato arrived in time.
It's clear that Hizashi wants to get his revenge!
"Hizashi, don't be impulsive. His methods are your weakness. Hiashi couldn't do anything to him before," Shinnosuke immediately advised.
Although Riza and Huangtu have never played against each other, Riza has. The two brothers have the same style.
"Why don't you think about it the other way around?" Hizashi retorted.
"Huh?" Shinnosuke didn't understand.
"My brother can't do anything to him. If I defeat him, won't I be stronger than my brother?" Hizashi said matter-of-factly.
Shinnosuke:? ? ?
"When did you start talking so logically?" Shinnosuke looked at Hizashi strangely.
The power of the loess was not bad either. At this time, only Lanwu went on stage. Although Richa was stopped, he still went up.
"I'm sorry." After arriving, the sir apologized to Lanwu first.
"It's alright." Lan Wu didn't feel offended, but she glanced at Rizashi with concern.
"Please, Yellow Earth Genin, choose from among the challengers," Hatake said upon seeing this.
Huang Tu was all prepared to fight Lan Wu, but when he saw Hizashi come up, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Ah—the younger brother of the Hyuga family? Well, you're good then. I'm quite good at beating your older brother."
"Be careful," Lan Wu warned before walking downstairs.
Akaishi, still puzzled, asked Shinnosuke, "Earth Release—shouldn't it be more suited for physical defense?"
If it's a rigid defense, then a soft fist should be the right way to strike!
"No, his Earth Release technique is somewhat special, with a strange rhythm that even Gentle Fist cannot penetrate," Shinnosuke said solemnly.
"I didn't realize that this round-faced guy had such a short temper," Akaishi said strangely.
Shinnosuke:? ? ?
Shinnosuke didn't immediately understand Akaishi's logic.
However, Akaishi himself understood!
Because among the Earth Release chakra transformations, there is a "Vibration Extreme" which corresponds to "Urgent"—and under Akaishi's persistent immersion, "Urgent" has now become Earth Release!
The effect of "Zhenji" is "fluctuation," which will give Earth Escape, in addition to rigidity, a certain degree of fluctuation, enhancing the "softness" aspect.
For example, if someone's mastery of Earth Release is truly high, a defensive ninjutsu like "Earth Flow Wall" is not only sturdy but also possesses a certain ability to absorb and neutralize energy fluctuations, rather than simply being rigid and breaking apart if it can't withstand the force.
However, "Zhenji" is a relatively rare aspect that can be strengthened in Earth Release transformations.
Although others don't have the Sharingan and don't directly rely on emotions to stimulate chakra changes, their individual personality also plays a role in their training talent!
Therefore, Chishi suspected that this loess was actually short-tempered.
Shinnosuke didn't understand, but he didn't have time to ask, because Hizashi and Yotsuchi were already locked in battle.
Huang Tu also seemed to be a "melee monster." After casting the "Rock Fist Technique" on himself, he went up and clashed head-on with Hizashi!
At this moment, Richai used the Bagua Step, his figure as swift as a butterfly, striving to close the distance quickly.
From the Byakugan's perspective, Hizashi could also see that Huangtu's chakra meridians were not only thick, but had also been fluctuating at a high frequency since the start of the battle, flowing between his body surface and meridians. This was precisely the fluctuation and change of Earth Release chakra, which was why Huangtu was not afraid of Hiashi's pressure point strikes.
but----
Bagua Thirty-Two Palms!
Even though the Nishizashi only knew the Thirty-Two Palms of Separation, he still made his move!
Hiashi's fingertips, imbued with the subtle chakra unique to Gentle Fist, precisely targeted three vital acupoints on Hijikata's left shoulder and left arm, attempting to seal his left arm first. But—
Biu, Biu, Biu—
The chakra of the three Gentle Fists was shattered before it could penetrate the body's surface, like water droplets splashing onto a vibrating drum surface, dissipating as soon as they got close!
The next moment, Huang Tu's rocky fist slammed towards Hizashi. Hizashi noticed the shift in the opponent's center of gravity and immediately used his Bagua Step to retreat to the side, barely managing to avoid it.
boom-
The punch from the loess left a large crater in the ground.
"Such strong defense, such strong attack—" Hizashi realized that the opponent's rock fist also had the characteristics of earth pulsation. When attacking, it vibrated at a high frequency, which is why it was so destructive, and it was not purely based on strength.
At this moment, Hizashi once again adopted a Gentle Fist stance—
"Hmm?" Hiashi, sitting in the audience, uttered a slight sound of doubt.
It's definitely a soft-style stance, but—
Hijikata always felt that his younger brother's current move was somewhat different from "Gentle Fist," but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Young Master, you don't need to worry. You are certainly stronger than Ri Cha now," the clan elder from the branch family said hurriedly.
"What I'm worried about is the difference in daily temperature!" Hiashi emphasized.
Another elder from a branch family nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, we should be worried. Richi actually challenged Huang Tu—is he really just trying to avenge the young master, or does he have some ulterior motive? We should be very careful!"
Rizu:——
"Oh no! It's not working!" Shinnosuke cried anxiously from the sidelines.
-
"It's still early! Don't underestimate Hizashi." Akaishi had sparred with Hizashi many times in the past few days, and he knew his strength, and also knew that he had a secret weapon!
On the stage, Huang Tu launched a fierce attack, but Ri Cha countered with his soft fists.
The loud thuds of impact seemed to indicate that the physical clash between the two was not to be underestimated, however—
Gradually, Hiashi went from worry to shock, and at this point, he couldn't help but stand up in the stands.
As the daily changes seemed to be on the verge of collapse time and time again, yet each time they miraculously turned the tide, more and more people became aware of the strangeness of the situation.
Soon everyone discovered—
The attack of the loess soil seemed fierce, causing immense damage to the surrounding area, but—
The ground around the sun was still flat and unaffected!
Upon closer inspection, one will find that————
"Has that glaring kid been standing still the whole time?"
"That's right, it looks like they're moving around nimbly, but they've actually been staying in the same place the whole time!"
Why does the loess soil circle around him?
"It's not the loess soil spinning around, it's the Hyuga kid using rotation to deflect the force."
More and more powerful ninjas have discovered this.
"Youth, this is youth! See?!" Might Guy shouted from the audience.
It was precisely because Richa had already grasped the essence of "overcoming the strong with the soft and deflecting force with the twisting motion"!
"Could this be—" Hiashi thought of what he had learned in the past few days.
But----
It should be noted that even with his father's special training, the Japanese player still hadn't learned it.
Could it be that the daily difference has already reached ————
Rizu's expression became complicated.
Huang Tu was getting increasingly anxious, after all, his constant "vibration" was consuming more energy than the daily fluctuations!
Fortunately, he was on the offensive, and although he was a bit flustered, he could retreat whenever he wanted.
He not only retreated, but also roared and began pounding his chest with both hands—
"Despicable!" Akaishi immediately realized something was wrong.
This guy was pounding his chest with his massive rock fist, seemingly intending to harm himself, but in reality—
His hands had actually come out of the shell of "Rock Fist". The apparent chest-pounding was just a trick to hide the hand seals he was forming!
Because of the outer shell of the Rock Fist and the flow of chakra, Hizashi was momentarily confused by the Byakugan's perspective, wondering why there were four arms.
Fortunately, upon discovering the boiling chakra in the yellow earth, he immediately realized that the other party was using ninjutsu!
"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"
Huang Tu slapped the ground with both hands, and instantly two huge hemispherical earthen rocks rose up around the sun.
This move already has a large range, and with the addition of the yellow earth's connection to Earth Release chakra, the range is also amplified. In an instant, half of the arena was covered, and Hizashi was caught in the trap before he could dodge!
As the "Mountain and Soil Technique" slammed shut, Hiashi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him.
"Heh, just as I thought." The elder from the clan sneered.
For some reason, Jazz felt a strange sense of relief amidst his anger.
ended?
The next moment, the sphere of "Mountain and Earth Technique" suddenly emitted cracking sounds—
Click—click-click—
boom--
The "Mountain and Earth Technique" suddenly exploded, sending sand and stones flying, revealing a sphere of surging chakra within, at the center of which was the rapidly spinning Hizashi.
"How is this possible? Stealing—stealing knowledge, he stole knowledge!" the elder of the Hyuga clan shouted shrilly.
However, his voice was drowned out by the cheers of the audience.
