Killer Bee's almost seamless attacks with his seven ninja swords made it difficult for Sarutobi Higashi to defend himself. He could barely withstand the first few rounds of attacks, but he was clearly struggling to keep up later on.

After several rounds of attacks, Sarutobi Toushi's ninja armor had several cuts, and he was also stabbed on the shoulder by Killer Bee's ninja sword, which caused blood to flow.

However, the injury was not serious, just a superficial wound, so it didn't have much of an impact on him.

In terms of the overall battle situation, Sarutobi Tosho was clearly at a disadvantage, and he was entangled by Killer Bee's slack, making it difficult for him to launch ninjutsu attacks.

On the surrounding viewing platforms, the Konoha members looked somewhat worried. Although Konoha had secured three qualifying spots in the previous five matches of the Jonin group, the more spots the better, and they naturally hoped that Sarutobi Tosho could also achieve victory.

Of course, many Konoha ninjas were not optimistic about Sarutobi Tosho at first, not because they had any prejudice against him, but because his opponent was too strong, namely Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

"This is not good. Sarutobi Tosho seems to be completely suppressed!"

"Killer Bee's strength is indeed extraordinary, and he hasn't even used the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki yet. If he does use the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, his strength should be further enhanced."

"Killer Bee will likely be the ultimate winner of this battle."

……

While watching the game, many people were also discussing it privately. In terms of the situation, most of them had obviously sided with Killer Bee.

The seating area for the Konoha ninja representatives.

Uzumaki Hanamichi glanced at Uchiha Shisui beside him and said, "Shisui, Killer Bee is quite strong. He has already suppressed Sarutobi Tousho from the very beginning."

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "To wield seven ninja swords so easily by one person, he'd be very difficult to deal with in close combat. Fighting him probably wouldn't be much better. Captain, if you were to face Killer Bee, would you have a chance of winning?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi thought for a moment and replied, "I can't really answer that. Killer Bee hasn't fully shown his strength yet. He's the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. If he uses the power of the Eight-Tails, his combat power should increase significantly. I don't have absolute confidence in defeating him."

Uchiha Shisui's expression shifted slightly: "Yes, Captain, at least one of us will be fighting him."

Whirlpool Flower: "Yes, no matter who it is, we'll give it our all."

Uchiha Shisui: "Understood, Captain!"

In the central battle zone, Killer Bee and Higashi Sarutobi are locked in fierce combat.

After a fierce close-quarters battle, Sarutobi Tousho, who had been suppressed, quickly seized an opportunity, forcibly creating distance between himself and Killer Bee, and swiftly unleashed a powerful Fire Release technique.

Killer Bee immediately used combat ninjutsu to defend himself.

Killer Bee certainly has a great advantage in close combat, but he doesn't have that advantage when it comes to ninjutsu.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

After a fierce exchange of ninjutsu, neither side gained any significant advantage.

Killer Bee quickly approached Sarutobi Toushi again. His goal was simple: to use his close-combat advantage to suppress Sarutobi Toushi as much as possible.

In the blink of an eye, the two had been fighting fiercely for nearly twenty minutes.

Sarutobi Tosho's situation is getting worse and worse. Although his ninjutsu is on par with Killer Bee's, the continuous use of powerful ninjutsu consumes a lot of chakra, and he has very little chakra left. In addition, in close combat, he is almost completely suppressed by Killer Bee's Seven Swords Style.

"Oh wow, you're not bad, but too bad you're no match for me!"

Killer Bee was very confident. He hadn't even used his eighth-rank power yet, and he already had a significant advantage. Therefore, he felt he could easily win this battle.

Sarutobi Tosho realized that he could not defeat Killer Bee, but he did not give up. He then launched several powerful ninjutsu attacks on Killer Bee.

Unfortunately, all of his ninjutsu were neutralized by Killer Bee.

Ultimately, Killer Bee defeated Higashi Sarutobi without using the power of the Eight-Tails.

Higashi Sarutobi was unfortunately eliminated.

The battle between Killer Bee and Higashi Sarutobi ended at dusk, marking the conclusion of the first day of the Ninjutsu Exchange Conference.

Konoha's performance on the first day was quite good. The genin group occupied three promotion spots, the chunin group occupied two promotion spots, and the jonin group occupied three promotion spots. Among the three groups, Konoha was undoubtedly the best.

The situation for Kirigakure's ninja representatives is relatively the least optimistic, with one position in the Genin group, two positions in the Chunin group, and one position in the Jonin group.

After the battle between Killer Bee and Higashi Sarutobi, the Konoha high-ranking representative in charge of hosting the event announced the list of those who advanced from the Jonin, Chunin, and Genin groups, and introduced the details of the Ten Ninjutsu Exchange Meeting.

Subsequently, the audience at the Konoha Arena began to leave one after another.

Uzumaki Hanamichi and Uchiha Shisui quickly left their seating area and then left the arena together. However, before leaving, Mitokado Homura, a high-ranking member of Konoha, gave everyone some instructions.

The instructions were about tomorrow's match.

As soon as Uzumaki Hanamichi and Uchiha Shisui left the Konoha Arena, Hyuga Himaru and Akimichi Fat Thorn, along with several members of the Anbu First Squad, gathered around.

Hyuga Mai: "Captain, Shisui, congratulations on your successful advancement."

Might Guy gave Uzumaki Hanamichi and Uchiha Shisui a thumbs-up: "You guys are the best!"

After exchanging a brief conversation with the members of the Dark Side squad, Uzumaki Hanamichi left.

Soon after, he removed his wolf fang disguise, reverted to his true identity as the gourmet Hanamichi, and headed towards the Midnight Diner.

Before long, Whirlpool Flower Path arrived at Midnight Diner.

Inside the small shop, Tamako was carefully preparing the ingredients. Actually, she really wanted to go to the Konoha Arena today to watch the ninjutsu exchange meeting. When she was a child, her favorite thing was ninja games.

Whirlpool Flower Path entered the shop and quickly began processing the ingredients together.

The master and apprentice chatted as they prepared the ingredients.

During this time, Tamako curiously inquired about the ninja exchange meeting.

Whirlpool Flower Path's expression shifted slightly: "Little Jade, don't you also want to go and see it?"

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Whirlpool Flower Path reached out and patted Little Jade's head, saying with a smile, "Then Master will take you to see it tomorrow."

Xiaoyuzi showed a hint of surprise, but quickly remembered something: "Master, that shop?"

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Take two days off!"

The Midnight Diner has been open for six consecutive days recently, so it's about time for Tamako to take a break. Although there's no five-day work week in this ninja world, as the boss and mentor, he still needs to show some humane care.
