Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Inside the central training ground of Konoha Village.

All participants and spectators have arrived.

Besides the names and images of various countries.

Many villagers and businessmen who came from far and wide also came to visit.

Warm atmosphere.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the daimyo, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire nodded.

"The final Chunin Exams have officially begun. Whether you can become a Chunin is not just about winning or losing, but also about your performance in battle. So, I hope all the ninjas who participate will give it their all."

After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down immediately.

Orochimaru, still the examiner, walked into the central training ground and announced in a hoarse voice, "Match 1: Konoha Village's Nara Shikatoki versus Kumogakure's Nagoi. Both shall enter the arena."

The two walked into the training field.

Naghyi gripped his longsword tightly.

You could clearly see his nervousness.

Deer, on the other hand, remained as relaxed as ever.

"start!"

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, he vanished from the training ground in a flash.

Nagi took a deep breath. "When I was in Nara, Lord Ai said you were very strong. I will do my best. Please take care of me!"

Lu Shi nodded. "Okay."

Naghie drew his longsword, which was crackling with lightning, and swiftly approached to attack.

When the deer is in deity mode, it will use a kunai to block.

The immense force nearly caused Nagui to lose his grip on the longsword. After regaining his balance, he quickly formed hand seals: "Lightning Release: Web Spider!"

A spiderweb-like barrier formed by electric currents appeared on the ground.

Seeing that the deer was trapped, Nagi attacked again, "Lightning Release: Lightning Ball".

"From the very beginning, you probed with your longsword and then created distance, all to prevent me from touching you?" Lu Shi waved his hand, directly blasting away the incoming lightning ball.

Nagi's lips twitched slightly as he watched the deer so violently break through his ninjutsu.

"That's right. According to intelligence, both the Shadow Imitation Technique and the Sealing Technique require physical contact to take effect, so ranged attacks are the best option!"

"A good idea, but the gap in our strength is still too large."

After Lu finished speaking, he vanished from the spot before Nagi's horrified gaze.

The ground where the deer had just been standing shattered, and the web spider broke apart inch by inch.

Naghyi almost instinctively held his longsword horizontally to try and block, but the immense force had already struck.

He was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily to the ground, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could even get up, Lu Shi was already beside him with a kunai.

Orochimaru appeared at the opportune moment, announcing, "The winner is Nara Shikatoki."

The medical ninja came on stage and carried Nagui away, while Shika went back to the rest room.

"Hahaha! See that? These are the ninjas of my Land of Fire. Your Land of Lightning has no chance to fight back." The daimyo of the Land of Fire was very happy.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had already been warned, so his expression remained unchanged, though he did show some emotion.

"Konoha is truly teeming with talent."

The audience was just there for the excitement.

As a ninja, you can see more.

"Hokage, Nara Shikatoki's physical strength is truly impressive." The Third Raikage looked at Nara Shikatoki with some surprise.

It had only been about a month since I last saw him.

The physical strength of the Nara deer is greatly enhanced.

"Why is that?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "Raikage, you flatter me. Shikatoki still needs to grow."

In the audience, Nara Shikaomi was dancing wildly.

"See that? That's my nephew!"

Lu Jiu quickly grabbed his father, "Dad! Calm down, look how many people are watching us!"

Lu Chen shook off Lu Jiu's hand and said with exasperation, "Look at you! You're so useless, yet you won't even let me enjoy myself because of my nephew?"

Upon seeing this, Nara Shikaku immediately shut up.

It is foreseeable that if I say one more word, what follows will be sharp, parental-style education.

On the other side, Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade, and Jiraiya sat together.

"So, you finally decided to come back?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya. "I heard you took on a disciple in Amegakure, why didn't you bring him back?"

"They have their own choices." After Jiraiya pointed out the White Zetsu in Shikamaru, he did indeed want to bring the three of them back to Konoha.

But the three children refused; they wanted to change Amegakure!

"Never mind that, I came back specifically to cheer on Minato!"

"Father, are those two older brothers really about the same age as you?" Sitting next to Sakumo Hatake was an adorable little boy, Sakumo Hatake's son, Kakashi Hatake.

"When I first met them, their strength was still somewhat inferior to mine. After so many years, I can no longer say that I can win with certainty." Hatake Sakumo looked at Shikatoki and Minato on the sidelines and said with some emotion.

Kakashi Hatake looked at the two of them with a blank expression.

All he knew was that his father was the renowned White Fang of Konoha, and anyone who could rival his father must be incredibly strong.

The Chunin Exams continue.

Rasa, Minato, and Yoshikura all defeated their opponents with great success.

The fact that the remaining two members of Sunagakure had both advanced made the Daimyo of the Land of Wind look much better.

"Match 5: Konoha Village's Kushina Uzumaki versus Iwagakure Village's Akatsuchi. Both players enter the arena."

"start!"

The loess was the first to rush up.

"I'm sorry, young lady, but we, the Hidden Stone Village, cannot be completely eliminated here." Huang Tu said seriously, "Earth Release: Fist Rock."

The right side of the loess is covered by rocks.

Kushina didn't dodge at all, exclaiming, "Monstrous Strength!"

"No need to apologize, I don't want to lose either! Although I can't compare to Shikatoki and Minato, I at least want to keep up with them!"

Their fists made contact.

They were all knocked back by the opponent's force.

"Earth Release·Earthquake Core!"

The earth began to tremble, and the ground rose sharply.

Originally, Huang Tu wanted to catch Kushina off guard, but Kushina seemed to be prepared and stood steadily on a raised rock.

Golden chains shot out from behind.

It was the Vortex Clan's Vajra Blockade.

Huang Tu quickly dodged, but since he wasn't a ninja known for his speed, it was quite difficult for him to break free of the chains.

Having finally freed his hands, Huang Tu quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!"

Originally, I thought I could delay Kushina's attack rhythm, but to my astonishment, Kushina dodged the rock spear a step ahead and attacked again.

"What's going on? This little girl is so amazing? Why is she always one step ahead of me?! Does Kagura's Mind's Eye from the Uzumaki clan have this ability?!" Huang Tu's mind was in a mess at the moment.

boom!

While Huang Tu was stunned, Kushina's fist came flying, and Huang Tu was hit head-on.

The next moment, the loess turned into a puddle of mud, a substitute for soil.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

Two enormous hemispheres sandwiched Kushina, clearly indicating that the yellow earth was determined to prevail.

"You lost!"

However, the next moment, Kushina exploded into a cloud of smoke.

"Shadow clone?! That's the real body!" Huang Tu's pupils shrank slightly as he tried to dodge, but his Earth Release technique had consumed a large amount of chakra.

Kushina gripped the yellow earth's shoulder tightly with her left hand.

"While I don't have the same powerful sealing techniques as Shikamaru, I'm not weak either!" Kushina pressed her right hand against the yellow earth's abdomen, "Four Symbols Sealing Technique!"

Huang Tu's expression changed drastically, and he was terrified.

"The chakra is being sealed! No! I have to do something!"

"earth……"

Before the mudra was even finished, his hands were suspended by the Vajra Lock.

"it's over!"

The Four Symbols Seal is now fully formed.

Huang Tu stared blankly.

He truly didn't expect to lose.

Moreover, the defeat was so frustrating, it wasn't a loss based on skill alone.

Instead, Kushina was like she had a cheat code.

She always manages to get ahead of him, and it seems like he knows everything about her, including her ninjutsu and habits.

Orochimaru appeared, announcing, "The victor is Kushina Uzumaki!"

Cheers erupted from the stands.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire was even more smug, "It seems the Tsuchikage's son isn't all that great! He can't beat Nara Shikatoki and Namikaze Minato, and he can't even beat a little girl."

The daimyo of the Land of Earth looked rather grim at that moment.

He couldn't accept that all the ninjas sent by Iwagakure were eliminated in the first round.

Onoki's eyes were deep, and his tone was meaningful, "This little girl from the Uzumaki clan has a good ability to gather information; she's always one step ahead of Huang Tu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also somewhat surprised.

Originally, Rope Tree was chosen as the third member of the Deer Team.

In the end, Mito Uzumaki recommended Kushina, saying it would be a chance for her to gain experience.

I didn't really expect Kushina to beat Huang Tu.

I never expected to win, and win so beautifully at that.

"Haha, I guess it's Shikatoki and Minato who helped Kushina. These three kids have had a good relationship since they were little."

"Is that so?" Onoki didn't dwell on it; he was already thinking about how to fool his daimyo.

Meanwhile, the battle between Ai and Minazuki Shin has ended.

Minazuki's ice release technique is very strong, but it's really useless against a brute; all ice release techniques will be shattered by it.

Orochimaru entered the arena with a lottery box.

The results came quickly.

Kushina Uzumaki vs. Rasa.

Nara Shikatoki vs. Hakura.

Minato Namikaze vs. Isaac.

Konoha cleverly avoided civil war.

"Everyone, take a half-hour break. After half an hour, the second round will officially begin." Orochimaru said and disappeared.

Kushina is still very excited because she defeated Yotsuchi when she saw her opponent.

"Haha, once I defeat Rasa, Konoha will sweep all three of the top teams."

Minato's expression was gentle. "Kushina, Rasa is still quite restrained towards you."

Shika nodded. "If things don't look good, surrender. Sunagakure and Konoha have a feud, and Rasa is petty; he might resort to underhanded tactics."

Kushina stopped smiling and nodded seriously. "Don't worry, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll just admit defeat."

Back in Kumogakure, Ai looked excited.

He came to this Chunin Exam specifically to challenge Minato Namikaze and Shikatoki Nara.

Anyone can do it!

Perfect timing! I've already clashed with Nara Shikata last time, so this time I'll see what kind of person Minato Namikaze, who's on par with him, really is.

Sunagakure Village.

Luo Sha breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the remaining people, he couldn't even be considered a sure winner against Yekura, but fortunately he was lucky enough to draw the weakest one, Uzumaki Kushina.

Yekura, on the other hand, looked very serious.

Ever since the failure of the last mission and the deaths of Zisha and Senior Yangjie, it has been a hurdle in her heart. She feels that she is not strong enough, which led to such an outcome.

Therefore, after returning to Sunagakure, Yekura began to train like crazy.
