Chapter 38 Obeying the rules can also be infuriating
Tatsuma suspects that Orochimaru is playing him, but he has no evidence.
He could only look at Orochimaru with some incredulity, and Orochimaru continued to show a seemingly elegant, but actually somewhat sinister smile, his Orochimaru's life, what he loved most was to play with these "geniuses" who thought they were smart.
And if it's directly aimed at Jiu Sinai, it's easy to be seen, rather than this, it's better to target Tatsuma, so that Jiu Sinai feels that he is a lucky one.
After all, she had a break in the middle, and after the break, she faced the water gate that had just finished the battle, as for whether Jiu Sinai would win because of this?
Although it is not what Sarutobi wants to let Kushina survive the first round, but... Orochimaru doesn't care, as long as Kushina can't graduate in the end, isn't it?
Tatsuma narrowed his eyes and looked at him smiling very... Orochimaru, who was oozing, then let go of Kushina, allowing her to return to the side to rest.
"Any questions?"
Orochimaru tilted his head slightly, looking at Tatsuma, Tatsuma shook his head, took the initiative to form the seal of opposites, looked at the water gate, and said, "The water gate, you can start at any time." ”
Shuimen originally wanted to let Chenma buy some more time and recover some physical strength, but seeing that Chenma didn't have the slightest intention of procrastinating, he had no choice but to step forward and form a seal of opposites.
But Watergate always felt that there was something strange, it seemed... Tatsuma didn't praise him today?!
It's not that Mizumon won't fight without hearing Tatsuma's praise, but two and a half years of getting along has made Mizumon understand that Tatsuma will never forget to praise his opponent, so there is only one reason.
The two of them formed a seal of opposition, and then put down their hands, and Orochimaru also concentrated some attention at this time, wanting to see how Tatsuma could conduct this game with his physical strength and chakra completely at a disadvantage.
It's just that after the two of them finished forming the seal of opposites, they didn't do it immediately, which made Orochimaru frown a little puzzled, and at this moment, Tatsuma raised his head and showed a bright smile.
"Orochimaru-sama, I admit defeat."
"Huh?"
Chenma's words made Orochimaru a little unexpected, after all, in the information he collected about Chenma, Chenma's competitiveness was extremely strong, so strong that he wanted to compete in every trivial matter of life.
But now Tatsuma suddenly gave up... Orochimaru glanced at Mizumon with a face that said "That's really so", then his eyes returned to Tatsuma, who had formed the seal of reconciliation, and asked, "Can you tell me why?" ”
"Because I've already qualified for the next round of testing, haven't I?"
Tatsuma's smile is still bright, he is indeed very competitive, but that is based on the premise that he has a chance to win and pick up the opponent's talent.
And in his current state, it is impossible to beat the water gate, he is just competitive, and he does not like to be abused.
Tatsuma's rhetorical question made Orochimaru's face stiffen, and in the rules he just made, it was clearly stated that everyone should win at least once in order to advance to the next round of assessment.
But Orochimaru never expected that Tatsuma would use a rule he casually said to "trick" him in turn, especially since Tatsuma also gave another problem.
That is, the current scene is Chenma's one win and one loss, Jiu Sinai's one loss, and Watergate's victory, if in the third round, Watergate also plays with the rules like Chenma, then all three of them can get at least one win and qualify for promotion.
"Aren't you afraid that I will deprive you of your qualification to continue the assessment on the grounds that you will be defeated without a fight?"
Orochimaru looked at Tatsuma to see what he would decide, but Tatsuma shrugged his shoulders and said, "You forgot, you didn't say anything about the other rules, I also specifically asked." ”
That's true, Orochimaru recalled the previous conversation, and he secretly praised Tatsuma in his heart for being serious and thoughtful, but he didn't expect that this was to prevent him from doing things, and he actually stepped on the trap set by Tatsuma.
No, this trap, in a sense, was set by himself, and if he didn't deliberately embarrass Tatsuma, then Tatsuma wouldn't be able to take advantage of it.
"Okay, let's start the third round, Watergate vs. Kushina."
Orochimaru retracted his gaze and looked at Kushina, who was still shocked and unable to fully understand the sudden change in direction, and after Kushina came back to his senses, he glared at Tatsuma dissatisfiedly and said:
"It's going to be a little trick!"
"Don't forget, you're the only one left who needs to pursue victory now, come on."
Chenma is also a counterattack of yin and yang, the two of them staggered, Jiu Sinai wanted to deliberately hit Chen Ma with his shoulder, but Chen Ma seemed to have a premonition in advance, one wiped over, and Jiu Sinai staggered two steps instead.
"Abominable !!"
Jiu Sinai, who stole the chicken and didn't lose the rice, transferred his anger to Shuimen with a helpless smile in front of him, looking at Shuimen's smile that seemed to be a little embarrassed and apologetic, Jiu Sinai said irritablely:
"Sissy, what are you laughing at, do you think you've won?!"
The water gate froze suddenly, and the strange smile he had just now was just a feeling at Tatsuma's bizarre operation, as well as the obvious incompatibility between Tatsuma and Kushina.
But Mizumon didn't expect to be misunderstood by Jiu Sinai again because of his smile, and he didn't remember how many times Jiu Sinai misunderstood his smile.
But Mizumon didn't justify anything, he was born with this kind of character, and he was often said to be a bun by Tatsuma, to be honest, Mizumon didn't know why Tatsuma would use buns to describe his character.
Shuimen shook his head, threw his thoughts out, raised the hand that he had just put down, formed the seal of opposites, and said, "Jiu Sinai-san, do you need to take a break?" ”
"Humph! Your seals of opposition have been formed, are you still going to put it down and give me time to rest? And, I don't need to! ”
Jiu Sinai moved the shoulder joint of his left hand, which was still very tingling, and his right hand had already formed a sign of opposition, and the moment the two put down their hands, Mizumon's eyes changed.
Suddenly, six shurikens appeared in his hand, shooting towards Kushina, who had not yet reacted.
When the shuriken was out of his hand, Mizumon frowned, regretting that he shouldn't have used the mentality of racing against time with Tatsuma to fight against Jiushina, after all, he and Jiushina had not experienced several actual combat drills, and they were not familiar with each other.
Therefore, his way of fighting, it is very likely that he accidentally injured Jiu Sinai, but now he can't regret it, and when Jiu Sinai reacts and dodges, it is already too late, and two shuriken slash past her, splashing blood.
From the beginning, the outcome of the battle was already predestined, Kushina was defeated faster than when she fought with Tatsuma, Tatsuma was not in good shape, and she was not in good shape.
After a while, Mizumon, who won two victories, looked at Kushina, who was puffing up after two losses, stretched out his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, but I promise you, I will take your determination and become a ninja first." ”
"Who wants you to take it?! Woo~"
As he spoke, Kushina suddenly began to cry, and the water gate was a little at a loss, and Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hepu, as well as Tatsuma, all tacitly looked at the meaningless distance, allowing Kushina to continue crying.
They knew that Kushina needed a pain to vent her emotions.
