Chapter 39 Destiny's Reincarnation: The Encounter of Wood Release and the Sharingan

"Please identify your opponent."

Genma Shiranui held up a list for all the examinees to see.

There were a total of eight teams in the third round of the competition. Except for Itachi Uchiha and Kagura Akihara, all the other teams had three members each.

The entire competition was divided into three rounds: eight to four, four to two, and two to one.

Unfortunately, Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi were assigned to two different halves of the Chunin Exams. This meant that if these two candidates, who were taking the exams alone, wanted to meet, they would each have to defeat two three-person teams single-handedly in the first two rounds.

"It's over..."

"We'll be facing that brat in the very first round..."

"Don't panic. We haven't wasted these past few days. Everyone has learned new ninjutsu, so there might still be a chance to turn the tide..."

The team that encountered Akihara Kagura in the first round immediately became lively.

All the teams present had witnessed Akihara Kagura's performance in the Forest of Death, and each team believed that the chances of them defeating Akihara Kagura were very low.

"We encountered that kid in the second round..."

"Damn it, we're the ones who encountered that brat in the second round!"

The second round became more exciting as the two teams that might face Akihara Kagura were drawn into the game.

"Why don't you all come at me together?"

Akihara Kagura couldn't help but reply with a sentence.

In such small matters, Akihara Kagura is quite willing to help others.

"Hello, examiner!"

"Could we let all three teams play together?"

"Any other teams that want to fight me can come at me together!"

"..."

The candidates present all looked rather grim.

"Can't."

Genma Shiranui quickly rejected the proposal.

As the chief examiner for this exam, Genma Shiranui had already learned some important information from his friends Raido Namiashi and Aoba Yamashiro: there was a brat named Kagura Akihara who was a big problem in the Chunin Exams, and they had to be especially careful.

"The point of this exam is not winning or losing."

Genma Shiranui glanced at everyone present and reiterated the significance of the third exam: "Even the winners aren't guaranteed a promotion, and even the losers might get promoted. The purpose of this exam is to assess your team's tactics..."

"clear."

The group of test takers gradually calmed down.

The first exam happened to be a contest between Akihara Kagura and others.

Just as the examiner announced the start of the exam, the three opposing ninjas swiftly threw shuriken in an attempt to stop Akihara Kagura from forming hand seals!

"As long as we stop this brat from forming hand seals..."

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

Akihara Kagura had already closed her fingers.

One by one, tree roots emerged from the ground and quickly grew into three giant trees!

The three giant trees swiftly extended countless vines and branches, chasing after the three enemy ninjas and quickly binding them all to the tree trunks!

"Why..."

"Such powerful ninjutsu..."

"All you need to do is form a hand seal..."

"There's no way to stop him unless we directly dispel his spell..."

The three opponents stared listlessly at Akihara Kagura, who hadn't moved an inch, their faces filled with frustration, unable to understand why her ninjutsu was so simple.

"The victor is Akihara Kagura!"

Genma Shiranui frowned as he announced the winner.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

No one had ever seen such a simple ninjutsu as hand seals, yet it possessed such immense power. This was especially true for those ninjas who had created ninjutsu, who felt this even more deeply!

"Is all Wood Release ninjutsu like this?"

Yamashiro Aoba, sitting in the audience, stared at Akihara Kagura below the stage, speechless: "Just by forming a hand seal, you can unleash a technique of this level?"

"Ah, actually, the power of this technique can be even greater..."

Standing beside Yamashiro Aoba, Mitarashi Anko continued nonchalantly, "When I first saw him, I was also startled by that brat's Wood Release..."

"These genin examinees..."

Raido glanced at the other examinees and continued slowly, "There shouldn't be a single one who can match him, if this ninjutsu doesn't consume much chakra..."

"Heavenly Treasury".

Kakashi Hatake looked at Tenzo standing beside him and asked, "I remember you also have a similar technique, but it seems to have a wider range?"

"No...that's not it."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Tenzang's forehead. He shook his head and said, "That technique is a simplified version of the First Hokage's [Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World], called [Wood Release: Advent of the Sea of ​​Trees]. It is far inferior in both the hand seals and its power. Because I cannot learn Advent of the Tree World, I had to reduce the power of the technique..."

"Theoretically speaking, he has already mastered this technique, and it's even stronger than mine, because Wood Release uses chakra to activate life energy. I can sense the life energy in the field, and it's far more concentrated than my Wood Release..."

This technique…

Danzo Shimura also taught Tenzo.

Unfortunately, Tenzo did not learn it. He simply restored the effects of the Tree World Advent technique by developing his Wood Release bloodline limit within his body, based on his own understanding.

Tenzo turned to look at Kakashi Hatake, his face pale: "Kakashi-senpai, this child's Wood Release talent is actually much stronger than mine. Perhaps you should consider..."

"Keep going, you can do it!"

Kakashi Hatake calmly patted Tenzo on the shoulder.

Not only were the people in the audience in uproar, but the examinees in the arena were also looking grim. After all, a powerful ninjutsu that could be released with just a hand seal was a devastating blow to these genin examinees.

After the first round, four teams remained on the field.

However, the team that had to face Akihara Kagura the next time had lost confidence.

The reason this team was able to stay was not because they performed well, but because their opponents in the previous game performed even worse.

"Perhaps this technique consumes a lot of chakra?"

"But in the Forest of Death, this brat didn't seem to have insufficient chakra at all; he even had another technique that could summon a wood dragon..."

Don't be discouraged!

Seeing his two teammates looking dejected, a genin tried his best to encourage them: "Although we're sure to lose this match, maybe our performance in the last battle will get us promoted!"

The second round, four teams advance to two.

The second opponent that Akihara Kagura encountered was the same team that had faced the same fate as their opponents in the previous round; they were easily hung from a tree.

Compared to Akihara Kagura's quick match, Uchiha Itachi's battle against another team was much more interesting, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Although Itachi Uchiha's battle with his opponent ended in a crushing defeat, he eliminated three opponents from another team by using taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu respectively. Even the Third Hokage, who had been sitting in the main stands, praised Itachi Uchiha for his excellent performance.

The third round is a two-against-one contest.

The entire stadium fell silent.

No one expected that the Chunin Exams would turn out this way, with two candidates who took the exams alone becoming the final opponents.

and…

These two little ones are exactly the same age.

Both of these little guys possess top-tier bloodline limits in the ninja world.

In the audience, someone let out a sigh, which surprisingly garnered the agreement of many others.

"The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who once possessed the power of Wood Release; Madara Uchiha, the ninja who once possessed the Sharingan..."

"These two little guys standing here somehow remind me of those two figures from historical legends, like a destined reincarnation..."

There seemed to be quite a few people in the audience who were dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan, with some even reminiscing about history: "Perhaps their fate will be the same as in history; Itachi Uchiha is unlikely to be a match for Wood Release..."

"impossible!"

"Nissan will definitely win!"

Sitting next to his mother, Uchiha Sasuke grumbled in dissatisfaction, the brat's voice booming, "That guy has absolutely no chance against you, Nii-san!"

First update!

A fateful encounter!
