Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Luo Sha frowned.

Chojuro breathed a sigh of relief.

She continuously absorbs the oily water.

This is different from what we agreed.

Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!

Neji instantly appeared next to Tenten, then formed hand seals and pressed them into the water.

Then——

next moment.

The art of oiling!

Instantly, a raging torrent carrying mud and sand rushed toward the Konoha team, but the next second, Tenten quickly jumped to the front and then opened the sealing scroll.

Chojuro discussed the matter with the people from Kumogakure and finally decided to first test their teamwork with Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu to see how well they coordinated and to gauge Konoha's level.

"it is good."

At the same time, she threw out several kunai and talismans.

Lightning Array Lightning Guiding Barrier, activated!

Maki remained silent, unsure how to explain.

but.

"it is good."

then.

The three villages have come together in a very short time, and it seems they are about to engage in a major battle.

Neji is skilled in Water Release techniques.

"sorry!"

Atsui immediately apologized, then drew his sword and glared fiercely at Chojuro and the others.

"clear."

however.

Fortunately.

Utakata and Chojuro joined forces to launch a large-scale water escape technique in the desert.

If these Cloud Village lunatics are really determined to eliminate them first, then the only option is to unleash the power of the Tailed Beasts and see if they can hold out until they can carve out a path.

"Tian Tian, ​​I'll cooperate with you."

The current outcome isn't the worst-case scenario. At least the Hidden Cloud Village is willing to cooperate with them. Three teams against three—it can't be said that we have the advantage, but at least it's a close match.

"The two sides encountered each other faster than expected. What happened?"

but.

……

He clearly stated that the teams from these villages should be separated to try and get them all into the third exam, making the third exam even more exciting.

Try and die.

"enough!"

Before he could make a decision, Omoi said, "Let's join forces."

As soon as the floodwaters entered the area, they were quickly guided and pushed back. Kiba Inuzuka then managed to erect earthen walls to block the impact of the flood.

The exam rooms were indeed arranged in this way, but in reality, after entering the exam rooms, these people seemed to quickly discover each other's whereabouts.

After that, the group quickly assembled.

Forget about Kirigakure.

They must have been able to quickly locate the Konoha team thanks to their Byakugan, and their subsequent retreat was also very efficient and accurate, which also proves the value of the Byakugan.

but.

What gives Hidden Cloud Village the advantage?

"The Hidden Cloud Village hasn't been idle lately either; they've developed some new reconnaissance techniques to work with the Ninja Hawks."

Ebizo walked in from outside.

They were observing from a high vantage point and only just returned.

The situation in each village was indeed unexpected for them.

but.

Upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

"Konoha is indeed too strong. This time, Kumogakure and Kirigakure came for Konoha. They hope to use the Chunin Exams to test Konoha's strength and find out what Konoha's current strength is."

Ebizo said slowly.

Luo Sha nodded: "That's right. I want them to enter the third round so that I can see their individual strengths more clearly."

“No, Rasa, you’ve overlooked one thing.”

Ebizo sighed, "There's no one-on-one on the battlefield anymore. Konoha's teamwork is much stronger now; it's no longer the one-on-one cooperation of the past."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Sha was taken aback.

"Combination ninjutsu. Konoha is exploring more combination ninjutsu. I watched for a while, and their teamwork is developing entirely in the direction of military units."

Ebizo said, "You should know more about Konoha, instead of just guessing its strength and direction based on information from the Anbu. Chiba isn't one to follow the rules step by step..."

He was about to say a few words when suddenly—

boom!

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the distant Demon Desert.

The three of them widened their eyes instantly.

"what happened?"

"No, I don't know!"

"I gonna go see."

Luo Sha vanished in an instant.

He then arrived at the site of the great battle, where he saw a large, conspicuous crater in the desert where the battle had taken place, with flames still burning inside.

He sniffed it.

It's oil!

"Lord Kazekage, I didn't expect you to come and inspect the examination venue."

"It's you."

Luo Sha looked into the distance.

Chiba stood up from the desert and waved to him.

Luo Sha remained silent for a few seconds.

He hadn't sensed Chiba's presence at all. Just a moment ago, he almost manipulated the gold sand to unleash a ninjutsu. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound.

but.

Then came a moment of tension.

The other party could bypass his senses silently; what if they killed him here...?

"If you're worried I'll take action, there's absolutely no need. I just sensed a serious battle going on here, so I came to help with the treatment and arrest a lurker."

Chiba said as he put away the scroll.

White Zetsu did come after all, but instead of lurking underground, it lurked inside a ninja from Kumogakure. He hadn't noticed it before, but he quickly discovered it while treating the ninja.

White Zetsu clone +1.

Rasa naturally didn't believe it, but seeing the Cloud Village ninjas who had been badly blown up, he felt a chill run down his spine.

How large is the range of this spell?

How did Konoha manage to do that?!

If Chiba had participated and successfully guided and released the ninjutsu, he could understand, but Chiba didn't participate at all; he just watched from the sidelines.

How can this be?

Is Konoha really that strong now?

Luo Sha was very flustered.

The Chunin Exams represent a contest of strength between ninja villages, and there's a reason for that. For example, Sunagakure doesn't dare send too many ninjas to compete with other villages because they know they can't win.

The same applies to Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

The Hidden Cloud Village was stronger, so they sent out two small teams.

but.

Konoha has four teams!

What gives them such confidence?

The fighting prowess displayed this time also forced Rasa to admit that Sunagakure would probably never be able to surpass Konoha in his lifetime.

not only that.

He also needs to be careful about Konoha's attitude.

What if Konoha wants to settle scores about what happened in the past few years...

"Lord Kazekage, if you wish to continue reading, please do so. I will take these wounded soldiers and evacuate now. See you later."
