Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 612 Several Rounds

"You! Are you pitying me?!"

After Shikamaru conceded defeat, Obito appeared from the Kamui dimension, confirmed Shikamaru's defeat, and declared that the match would be won by Temari of Sunagakure.

Temari, however, was unimpressed and glared angrily at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru took a deep breath, then clutched his arm and looked speechlessly at Temari: "Do you think there's any point in continuing to fight after you've beaten me up like this?"

Temari glared at Shikamaru: "You! But you've successfully subdued me!"

Shikamaru was even more speechless: "Is it useful? My Shadow Imitation Technique does control enemies to make the same movements as me, but that also means that if I attack the enemy, the enemy will attack me. Although I can also use Shadow Binding Technique to control you or make my shadow touch your neck, but..."

Shikamaru limped towards the losers' bracket room, leaving only his soft murmur in the air: "I don't hate you, so why did I use that technique on you?"

Temari stared blankly at Shikamaru's retreating figure, then gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked towards the winners' bracket.

She knew what Shikamaru meant. If this were a battlefield, Shikamaru would definitely use Shadow Binding Technique to control her and then cut her neck. But this was the Chunin Exams, and killing was not allowed.

Furthermore, Shikamaru was already injured by Temari's attack, so what reason would Shikamaru have to continue attacking?

Since killing is forbidden and Shikamaru himself doesn't want to kill, it's perfectly normal for him to admit defeat.

However, the fact that it ended so abruptly made Temari feel that her victory was somewhat unfair.

Upon arriving backstage at the winners' bracket, Naruto greeted her very familiarly: "Hey, hello there, lady with the fan."

Temari kept a cold face, curled her lip, and couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Naruto.

Naruto didn't mind; he was used to this attitude anyway.

My enthusiasm has always been met with indifference from others.

In the next match, Haku from Kirigakure was matched against a ninja from Iwagakure.

Haku's unique Ice Release technique completely countered the Earth Release ninja from Iwagakure, ultimately forcing him to admit defeat.

After all, they don't even know where the other person's true form is on the ice. Earth Release is very strong defensively, but offensively...

You can't expect a pile of mud to cause much damage to ice.

Moreover, even if the ice is broken, it will immediately form new ice blocks after it comes into contact with the ground or soil.

How do we fight this?

It's better to just be direct and admit defeat.

Onoki from Iwagakure sighed, but he could understand the choices made by the ninjas on the field.

He also understood that there was no need to continue this battle.

As a result, Bai also entered the winners' bracket.

Next, Sasuke and Shino Aburame will fight.

Sakura withdrew from the competition in Shino Aburame's group because she is a medical ninja, and passing the first two rounds was enough to prove her excellence. She didn't need to prove her fighting ability at all.

As for ranking rewards...

Why would a medical ninja need to learn B-rank ninjutsu...?

In short, Sakura's swift and decisive withdrawal from the competition made things much easier.

Because of the Hidden Mist Village team, apart from Haku, the other two members also failed to advance to the third round.

The two were fighting amongst themselves. Bai wasn't the type to stop infighting, so he just watched quietly, which helped him avoid being eliminated.

Therefore, Haku can be considered the only remaining member of Kirigakure.

In fact, it's already quite impressive that Mei Terumi was able to field a team for this year's Ninja Exams.

Who could have imagined this would generate so much buzz...

If I had known this would happen, I should have brought more people with me.

As for Bai's teammates...

One is a little guy named Hozuki Suigetsu, and the other is a guy named Chojuro.

Chojuro was born in Konoha in 48. This year is Konoha in 64. Theoretically, Chojuro is already 16 years old, but in reality, he is still a few days away from his birthday. Therefore, Chojuro entered the village just in time.

Oh, by the way, Temari is also a condition for scoring at the perfect moment.

Hozuki Suigetsu and Chojuro always start fighting whenever they meet, and the second round happened to be a test of teamwork. Without even needing the proctor to egg them on, the two of them started arguing on their own.

All I can say is that these ignorant brats are really annoying.

Fortunately, Bai did not disappoint him.

The fifth match between Sasuke and Shino Aburame was not very interesting. Without Six Paths Chakra, Shino Aburame's insects had no chance of breaking through Sasuke's Fire Release defense.

If Sasuke hadn't been a bit more cautious, the battle would have ended much sooner.

Shino Aburame wasn't too discouraged by his defeat; he knew that making it to the third round was already a stroke of luck for someone of his ability.

Asking for too much...

It seems I don't have that ability myself.

Sasuke took a deep breath as he watched Shino Aburame's retreating figure.

With my own abilities, I am confident that I can win first place in this exam!

Brother, Father, Mother!

Just you wait and see!

I will definitely become the strongest one!

Then in the sixth match, Kiba faced a ninja from Kumogakure.

Because this exam requires summoning a summoning beast, Kiba and Akamaru are two fixed partners and cannot be switched.

But it's okay, Kiba believes that his Akamaru is enough to fight alongside him and win this victory!

Then, the lightning ninja on the other side summoned a female dog.

Well, to be honest, this was really an accident.

This female dog has a strong sense of smell and detection ability, and her combat strength is not weak either. The lightning chakra in her body can resonate with her master. Once activated, her body will be covered in sparks and lightning. Whether she looks cool or not is not important. The key point is that she is strong.

Imagine a female dog with electric shocks charging at you; how could you possibly withstand that?

Kiba Inuzuka held firm, but Akamaru did not.

Akamaru fell in love immediately.

As a result, Akainu was directly rammed head-on.

Later, encouraged by Kiba, Akamaru abandoned his romantic thoughts and used the Ninja Dog Transformation Technique to grow larger, transforming from a puppy a few months old into a large dog several years old.

then……

The mother dog was stunned.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen such a distinctive dog! Handsome, wanna hook up?

Akamaru also had feelings for the other person, and this battle almost turned into the two dogs staging a dog-making exercise in front of everyone in the entire ninja world.

Startled, Yuya immediately ordered the match to be suspended and then announced that summoned beasts were not allowed to participate in the battle.

What else is there to say? Without Akamaru, Kiba's fighting power was reduced by half, and he lost the match without any surprise.

But Ya wasn't disappointed.

The other party indicated that they were willing to place his summoned beast with the Inuzuka clan.
