Chapter 65: A Surprising Opponent
"Winner - Hinata Ninji!"
While the referee read out the winner, Shino and Hinata picked up their bruised teeth, and Naruto followed behind, holding the whining Akamaru in his arms.
Yes, although this match Ya was confident that he intended to show the results of his cultivation before the start, it was obvious that the gap between him and Ning Ci was far from being bridged by self-confidence.
At the beginning of the game, Fang used the family beast ninja method, with sharp minions and [Yatongya] rotating impact.
Objectively speaking, this is indeed a very powerful ninjutsu, and with the help of Akamaru's sense of smell, he is born to restrain the more traditional ninjas of the combat type, because traditional ninjutsu such as stand-ins or clones are often impossible to hide in front of the teeth.
It's a pity that Ning Ci is obviously not in this category.
Although the beast-like ninja method is said to be a "ninja technique", it is different from Naruto's [Merry Blade], except for the transformation part, it is basically output with physical arts, and Ning Ji's soft fist is precisely the nemesis of most physical skills.
The point points are combined with the absolute defense of [Huitian], even the level of physical skills such as Xiao Li has been suppressed by it for a long time, not to mention the teeth.
And in this competition, Ning Ci didn't even take out the real hole cards, such as [Bagua Sixty-four Palms] and [Huitian], and ended the battle in less than three minutes with just his basic soft fist.
In the face of the amazing impact of [Yatongya], Ning Ci had already seen through the Ya's move while dodging and avoiding it for the first time, so he directly took advantage of the opportunity of the first Yatongya landing to go forward and first use the point to destroy the Chakra meridians, so that Akamaru showed his original form, and he could not transform again, and he cracked the beast-like ninja method at once.
What happened next was naturally obvious, although the tooth that lost the most reliance was unwilling to give up, but in fact it could only become the target of Ningji, and was beaten mercilessly, and even poor Akamaru was beaten up in the process of trying to be loyal to the Lord.
The Inuzuka family is also a famous family in Konoha, but there is still a significant gap compared to the Hyuga family, which is known as the "strongest in Konoha", which has a blood line, and this game Ning Ji also showed everyone his genius strength without dead ends, which is impressive.
Of course, this also includes Sasuke, who is also the first in his grade and is also known as a genius, and Iara, who is eager to "hunt the strong" to prove his existence.
"That guy...... Is it stronger than that watermelon head? After the game, Sasuke looked at Ninji, who returned to the second floor, and thought in his heart with a little expectation and excitement in his expression.
At the moment, he felt that this time the middle ninja exam was really right, not only Naruto, but also so many powerhouses of the same age gathered, this was undoubtedly the best time to test his strength, and now he was already looking forward to the main match opponent in a month.
And unlike Sasuke, in order to verify his strength, I Airo, who is not far away, is almost unable to suppress his murderous aura at the moment.
"Hinata...... Ning Ci, his blood mother will definitely be satisfied...... Yes! "I let out a groan of almost pain, and I put my hand over my cheek, as if trying to control something within myself," Mom ...... Wait a little longer, it's not time yet...... Hehehe......"
The appearance of my Airo at this moment made Temari beside him and their teacher Maki both feel nervous.
"Oops, I'm almost at the limit." Temari, who was covered with sweat, took two steps back and distanced himself from Iro, shouting in his heart that something was wrong.
As a sister, Temari naturally understands how dangerous Airo's state is at the moment, she subconsciously looked at Kankuro, planning to discuss, but as soon as she turned her head, she found that Kankuro had already hid on the other side, and Konoha and the gang couldn't help but feel angry.
"Can't bear it after watching such a competition, I hope it will be his turn soon, damn it." Ma Ji was also anxious to look at the big screen, he felt that if I didn't release Airo again, this guy was going to run wild.
However, this is something that he can't let happen to him no matter what, and I'm the key to this plan, and now it's exposed, I'm afraid that the previous arrangement will be all in vain, so he cares more about the outcome of the next round now than anyone else.
At the same time, Naruto's side, the medical team simply dealt with the injuries of the teeth that were punctured all over the body and were beaten clearly, and did not send them to the infirmary at the request of the tooth himself.
"Don't be reckless, the game is over, isn't it good to recuperate honestly." Naruto helped sit down against the wall with his grinning teeth in pain, and persuaded him kindly.
"Wang~" At this moment, Akamaru in his arms also seemed to agree.
"Don't be verbose." Ya replied unhappily: "This injury is nothing at all, if it weren't for my carelessness...... Ouch, I won't lose to that guy so quickly, but you, hehe, how could I miss this one. ”
Ya is still that kind of character, when he speaks, he pulls the wound and screams in pain, Naruto was about to taunt him two more words, but when he saw this guy laughing inexplicably, he couldn't help but look back at Ya's gaze, and saw his name on the big screen.
[Naruto Uzumaki VS Rock Lee]
Dingji: "It's actually Naruto, this time there's a good show." ”
Shikamaru: "But his opponent seems to be a troublesome guy too." ”
Ino: "Don't worry, that guy can come back to life if he dies anyway." ”
The name that appeared on the screen immediately made the enthusiasm of the people in the entire hall soar, as the top of the actual combat class in the same grade, Naruto's competition naturally attracted a lot of attention, especially after the recent incident.
"It's finally here, don't let me down, Naruto." Sasuke was also excited to see this result, and although he wouldn't admit it, the main reason why he stayed here after the victory was this competition.
The most uncomfortable thing for him now is that because of the curse seal, Kakashi has not allowed him to open the Sharingan, and it is difficult for him to observe this competition more comprehensively.
The most hateful thing was that he looked back at Kakashi and saw that the man himself had lifted his forehead, revealing the chakra in his left eye.
"Resurrection from the dead...... Naruto, how many other secrets do you have that no one else knows? Not noticing Sasuke's resentful gaze in front of him, Kakashi's attention was all on Naruto at this time.
Naruto may not know what kind of ripples the matter of his resurrection has played in the upper echelons of Konoha, and all the shinobi who have come into contact with Naruto, including Kakashi, in the past two days have been questioned by the shadows, and even used illusion polygraphs.
And as far as he could hear, the upper-level commotion caused by this incident was even more terrible, and almost every minute in the Hokage's office, there could be a quarrel between Hokage-sama and Danzou or the two advisors, and it seemed that there was an irreconcilable conflict over how to deal with Naruto's problem.
Now Kakashi's best fortune is that at present, it seems that illusion probing is useless to Naruto, and what happened to Kaichi Yamanaka, the core of the illusion army, proves this, otherwise Naruto will inevitably have to be invited to tea by the dark department and even the torture class, and he from the dark department would not want Naruto, who is still a child, to enter that place in such a background.
"Come on! Naruto-kun. Here, Hinata, who took Akamaru from Naruto, was nervously cheering for Naruto.
In the end, it stands to reason that no one here knows Naruto's strength better than her, but she still has some unbearable worries.
"Rest assured, I don't think it will be too long." Naruto smiled, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Hinata's head, but he immediately reacted, feeling that it was not good to be in such a large audience, so he could only withdraw his hand slightly embarrassed and make a stupid appearance of a fist.
With that, he propped up the railing and fell directly down the hall, and at the same time, Xiao Li couldn't wait for him here.
"I didn't expect the opponent to be you, Naruto-kun." Xiao Li waved his hands and feet excitedly to warm up, and continued to say to him: "That's right, let's continue the previous competition, I will prove that hard work can also defeat geniuses!" ”
"This ......" Naruto could only respond with a smile in the face of Xiao Li's words that he didn't know whether to praise him or the pre-war declaration.
However, he actually felt quite embarrassed in his heart, after all, he didn't know what was going on, he seemed to be equated with the genius of Ning Ci and Sasuke in Xiao Li's eyes, which made him very embarrassed.
"No, no, you really think highly of me......" Naruto couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that Xiao Li only saw the surface, probably because he heard someone talk about his achievements in school.
What kind of genius is he counting, who has ever seen that it takes five months to climb a tree and tread water, not to mention the embarrassment that it takes four years to practice the spiral pill later, if he can be considered a genius, that genius is too worthless.
Naruto really wanted to tell Xiao Li that he had survived until now because he was thick-skinned and broken, otherwise he would have been ashamed of being a traverser a long time ago to thank Jiangdong's father.
"But, hehe, even so, I can only say sorry for this game, after all, although it is a salted fish, I have no intention of admitting defeat on my side."
