Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

"The Chunin Exams are in their final round. All candidates, please come forward."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice echoed throughout the central training ground.

Shikatoki and Minato appeared on the field in a flash.

Only Luo Sha came out unwillingly.

The three of them stood still.

"start!"

The gold dust around Luo Sha quickly gathered, and he rose into the sky, watching the two people below warily.

Neither the water gate nor the deer moved.

"Shikatoshi, please take a break for a while. I'll fight him alone." Minato said seriously.

Lu Shi understood the reason, nodded, and walked to the corner to sit cross-legged.

This situation, in fact, relieved Luo Sha.

But he remained defiant, declaring, "Minato Namikaze! Today I will defeat you!"

Minato Namikaze looked at Rasa coldly, the eyeshadow unique to the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku appearing beneath his eyes.

"That would be best!"

The three-pronged kunai shot out.

Seeing this, Rasa quickly formed hand seals, unleashing "Magnetic Release: Great Burial of Gold Sand!"

A large amount of gold dust propelled the kunai from the water gate toward the edge of the arena.

Before Rasa could even catch his breath, Minato had already vanished before his eyes, followed by a massive Rasengan.

"When?"

Luo Sha had no time to think; the gold dust around him quickly gathered, attempting to block the attack.

Unfortunately, Minato's Rasengan this time also came with Sage Chakra.

It is even more powerful.

It directly shattered Rasa's defenses.

boom!

After the deafening roar, Luo Sha lay on the ground, covered in blood, already unconscious.

Orochimaru entered and took Rasa away.

Seeing this, Lu Shi slowly walked over and asked, "What do you mean? Shall we still fight?"

Minato flexed his elbow. "Konoha has already won, so it seems there's really no need for this anymore."

Seeing this, Lu Shigang was about to raise his hands in surrender.

The next moment, the voice of the Fire Country Daimyo rang out, "Namikaze Minato, Nara Shikatoki, you two are indeed the best of my Fire Country. In this Chunin Exam, you two clearly did not use your full strength. If you can open our eyes, I will allocate an extra 20 billion ryo to Konoha this year."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes blazed with intense light.

Since he took office, the village has experienced the Second Shinobi World War, and the entire village is in dire need of reconstruction.

But all of this costs money!

"Ahem." Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed softly, but his voice clearly reached the arena. "Shikatoki, Minato, since the Daimyo wants to see it, do your best. I will reinforce the training ground with a barrier so that it won't affect the audience."

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi said that.

Minato and Shika looked at each other.

Minato took a deep breath. "Shikatoki! I don't know when it started, but I've never seen you go all out, and I don't know what kind of trump cards you have. To be honest with you today, I've made another breakthrough in my Rasenshuriken technique. If it's just an ordinary battle, I don't know when it will end. Let's decide the outcome in one move!"

Lu Shi forced a smile. "Okay, but you better not die!"

The two sides increased the distance between them.

Minato stretched his right hand over his head, and a spiral shuriken slowly took shape.

This time, in addition to the wind attribute, there was also a wisp of water wrapped around the Rasengan, further enhanced by Sage Chakra.

The sheer amount of energy that dissipates is terrifying.

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly gave Orochimaru a wink.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade arrived at the edge of the arena.

The three quickly formed hand seals, creating a special sealing barrier that completely separated the area inside from the outside.

As Lu Shi stood there, shadowy figures surged behind him.

It quickly formed a huge black dragon, coiled around his body, with its head facing the direction of the water gate.

"I haven't really tried it out since I got this ability. If I'm going to mix it myself, I'll just use natural energy," Lu Shi muttered to himself.

The dragon's head opened its mouth.

A green sphere slowly formed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the thing, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

"This is a Tailed Beast Ball?!" The Third Raikage couldn't help but shout.

The other shadows quickly realized what was happening.

"Nara Shikatoki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!" That was the Third Mizukage's first reaction.

Hiruzen Sarutobi denied it outright, saying, "Lord Mito is in the stands."

Onoki stared intently at Shikatoki's dragon head. "It looks a lot like the Tailed Beast Ball, but the energy composition seems to be completely different. It's possible that this kid created a ninjutsu based on the Tailed Beast Ball."

These words silenced all the shadows.

Why are the tailed beasts such a great threat?

Because the tailed beasts are very destructive, they may not be a match for many strong individuals in a one-on-one fight, but they are definitely a powerful weapon in group battles.

At this moment, it seems that a humanoid tailed beast is about to appear in Konoha.

and.

All eyes turned to Minato. If Shikatoki's Tailed Beast Ball was powerful enough, and Minato's Rasenshuriken was similarly effective, then Minato's threat level would be comparable to Shikatoki's, and he might even be classified as a Tailed Beast.

Even a tailed beast that can fly with the Thunder God technique might be more terrifying than Shika.

Inside the venue.

Minato's veins bulged as he roared, "Come on!"

Lu Shi, unusually passionate, shouted, "Fight!"

The Tailed Beast Ball and the Rasengan were unleashed simultaneously.

The moment the two collided, an unprecedented burst of light erupted.

Minato felt the shockwave and disappeared from the arena, arriving at the spectator stands.

Lu Shi also swapped places with the shadow that had been prepared long ago.

Although he is immortal, don't force yourself to suffer if you can't bear it.

"Nara Shikatoki can also use space-time ninjutsu?!" The Third Kazekage exclaimed in disbelief as he watched Shikatoki disappear almost simultaneously with Minato.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also somewhat surprised.

I never expected that Lu Shi would also have the talent of time travel.

boom!

The dissipated energy continuously impacted the barrier.

Orochimaru and the other two had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"Those two brats! What are they trying to do? If the energy inside leaks out, Konoha will be destroyed!" Tsunade gritted her teeth.

Jiraiya nodded in deep agreement.

"These two kids are too honest. They want to see your real name, so why not give us a little performance? Using so much force is just making things difficult for us!"

Only Orochimaru's eyes were full of excitement. "Minato's Rasenshuriken and Shikatoshi's ability to use the Tailed Beast Ball despite not having a Tailed Beast are both excellent research topics. It seems that after this is over, I will have to get to know them better."

The three of them tried their best to maintain it, but the barrier continued to expand outwards.

When Tsunade saw Shikatoki and Minato still watching the show on stage, she was furious and yelled, "You two brats! You got yourself into this mess, why aren't you helping us?!"

Shikatoki and Minato quickly arrived at Tsunade's side.

With the help of the two, the three felt much less pressure.

"Minato! Can you teach your teacher about that Rasengan and Rasenshuriken?" Jiraiya said shamelessly.

Minato smiled gently and said, "Of course."

Tsunade and Orochimaru rolled their eyes.

That idiot, he barely taught Minato any ninjutsu, yet he still asked his disciple for it. He's shameless.

However, Jiraiya did make a good start.

Tsunade's anger dissipated, and she looked at Shikatoki in a flattering manner, "Shikatoki, your Tailed Beast Ball didn't use Tailed Beast chakra. Could you teach your older sister? Your older sister is missing a wide-range attack ninjutsu."

"You have to learn Sage Mode." Lu Shi didn't hide anything.

Tsunade was somewhat disappointed, then suddenly seemed to remember something, "Shikatoki, didn't you have a Sage Mode custom-made for yourself? Could you make one for your older sister too?!"

These words made Lu Shi ponder for a moment.

As natural energy replaced chakra, Shikatoki gained a deeper understanding of Sage Mode, which was unique to humans.

Perhaps it would be really possible to make a set specifically for Tsunade.

"I need to look into this!"

Tsunade was overjoyed, "Haha! Then I'll leave it to you!"

Orochimaru, watching from the side, was scratching his head in frustration.

Jiraiya was able to learn the Rasenshuriken from Minato because the two were master and student.

Not only can Tsunade learn the Tailed Beast Ball, but she can also obtain a Sage Mode tailor-made for her, because the two are very likely to be husband and wife in the future.

What about him?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru thought of his apprentice, Nawaki.

Can't you be a little more assertive?!

I tried so hard to teach you every day, but you can't learn as well as Minato in self-study, and you can't be as innovative as Shika.

Now you're making me suffer here! Rope Tree! You bear the main responsibility!

Nawaki, sitting next to Mito Uzumaki in the stands, suddenly felt a chill.

He looked around suspiciously, but there seemed to be no danger.

"Grandma Mito, shouldn't we go down and help?"

Mito Uzumaki looked at Minato and Shika with satisfaction.

These are all good outcomes! I knew my judgment was right. "No need, the energy inside the barrier is gradually dissipating; it will be over soon."

Another twenty minutes or so passed.

The area within the barrier fell silent.

The five people removed the barrier, and the area inside could no longer be described as a ruin.

The surrounding fences have completely disappeared.

The ground looked like it had been hit by a nuclear bomb, with a huge crater.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire stood up excitedly and applauded!

"Great! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

The other daimyo also stood up; this Chunin Exam was truly a feast for their eyes.

Even the daimyo of the Land of Wind, who was initially somewhat depressed, felt much less resentful towards Rasa after seeing this move.

This loss is not unjust!

As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.

The Daimyo were all excited, while the Kage of the other ninja villages had ugly expressions.

Shika and Minato's destructive power is truly terrifying.

If any of those attacks were to occur in their own village, it would be devastating.

Looking at their ages, they were only twelve years old.

They hadn't even reached the peak of their ninja careers.

For some reason, Onoki seemed to see Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

This terrifying thought lingered in his mind and wouldn't go away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was practically grinning from ear to ear.

"Thank you to all the Daimyo for participating in the Chunin Exams held in Konoha. I hereby announce that Nara Shikatoki and Namikaze Minato are tied for first place in the Chunin Exams. The Chunin Exams are now over! Further evaluations by professionals will be conducted for the remaining participants to determine their promotion to Chunin."

The Chunin Exams have concluded.

The people from the other ninja villages hurriedly left.

This battle directly shattered the backbone of his peers.

Even a confident brute like A became withdrawn, let alone the other ninjas.

When Luo Sha heard Ye Cang talk about this afterward, he was just glad that the two of them hadn't killed him!
