Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

"This brat's Body Flicker Technique, like the Wood Release user's, is it a space-time ninjutsu?"

Rasa, who was watching the battle, noticed Minato Namikaze's terrifying speed and keenly realized that the key was his kunai.

This reminded him of the astonishing speed that Shiki showed during the battle when the Third Kazekage fell.

Post-war analysis revealed that it was a technique of teleportation in space and time.

"To have mastered such a teleportation technique at such a young age, I'm afraid that as he grows up..."

Rasa saw Minato Namikaze's potential and his expression turned serious.

It wasn't just Rasa who noticed Minato Namikaze's astonishing speed; everyone else did too.

Although Minato Namikaze had demonstrated the Flying Thunder God Technique during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he had not yet made a name for himself, and the only people who knew him were the Iwa ninja who had suffered losses as a result.

However, the onlookers were quickly distracted by the battle.

In the arena, Kushina Uzumaki, behind her, used the Adamantine Chains to attack Sasori, but she was not yet very skilled at using the Adamantine Chains, and Sasori repeatedly dodged them.

Kushina Uzumaki simply dispelled the Adamantine Sealing Barrier, raised her hands, and condensed a Wind Release: Rasengan in each palm before lunging out.

Minato Namikaze, who was fighting the puppet, noticed Kushina Uzumaki rushing up. His original intention to deal with the puppet immediately changed. He moved nimbly, intersecting with Kushina Uzumaki's figure, while also blocking Sasori's view.

"Go to hell!"

Kushina Uzumaki shouted, and under Minato Namikaze's feint attack, she first shattered one of the puppet's arms with a Rasengan, then leaped down and unleashed a Wind Release: Rasengan that pierced straight through the puppet's head.

Bang!

The entire puppet shattered into pieces. The residual force of the Wind Release: Rasengan slammed into the ground, causing a deafening explosion that cracked the earth inch by inch before it sank and exploded, creating a shockwave.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, after exchanging a few blows with the puppet, suddenly retreated, put away his kunai, and rapidly formed hand seals.

The puppet opened its mouth, and thousands of books shot out with a whooshing sound.

After Sarutobi Shinnosuke completed the hand seals, his skin immediately turned dark brown, and he covered his face with one hand.

One by one, the sages fell on him, piercing his clothes before tinkling and falling to the ground.

Immediately afterward, Sarutobi Shinnosuke drew the short sword he was carrying and swiftly charged forward to meet the puppet's attack. After three strikes, the puppet exploded.

"Be careful!"

Minato Namikaze shouted.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke also saw that some of the shattered puppet fragments had explosive tags stuck to them, and they were now spontaneously combusting.

Boom boom boom!

Explosive tags exploded, engulfing Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Even Mimura Yomi, the examiner, was too late to stop it.

However, the billowing smoke and dust following the explosion were suddenly torn apart, and balls of earth flew out.

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!

The scorpion leaped and dodged, but as soon as it landed, its body was locked by the Vajra Chains, and it could no longer move.

Mimura Yomi immediately announced, "Number 1 wins!"

Kushina Uzumaki released the Adamantine Sealing Chains, and Minato Namikaze approached Shinnosuke Sarutobi: "Are you alright?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke did look rather disheveled at that moment.

Starry Night Show's indestructible body can't let his clothes harden too.

"fine."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head. Although he hadn't hardened his entire body yet, it was enough for him to block the puppet's attacks.

At this moment, Sasori looked at Minato Namikaze and the other two and said, "You guys are strong. I'll remember you."

After saying that, Scorpion turned and left.

Kushina Uzumaki pouted, "This guy is so arrogant. He lost, but he acts like we lost."

Minato Namikaze laughed, "Don't worry about that. We've already won, let's go!"

The three withdrew from the battlefield and returned to Xingxia Xiu's side.

Xingxia Xiu said, "You did a good job, but there's one more thing to be careful about when dealing with puppeteers."

"That's highly poisonous."

Kushina Uzumaki said, "Don't worry, Ms. Xiu. We were very careful and didn't let the puppet's weapons and hidden weapons hit us."

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Poison can be applied not only to weapons, but also to attacks such as poisonous smoke."

"This is something we must be constantly vigilant about."

Minato and the other two nodded immediately, while Yahiko and the other two listened attentively.

Hoshinobu looked at Shinnosuke Yuan Fei and said, "In battle, sometimes you can indeed rely on your hardened body to charge around recklessly, but no ninjutsu is perfect."

"Neither the art of earthen spears nor the indestructible body can defend against attacks like poisonous smoke."

"If the puppet had activated poison gas instead of explosive tags after it was destroyed, you would be finished too."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression changed, and he quickly nodded in apology: "What the teacher said is right, I was wrong."

Then the third match began.

It was the Konoha Ino-Shika-Cho trio, facing off against another Konoha genin team.

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza worked together seamlessly, providing control, tanking, and strong offense, easily defeating their opponents.

One battle after another, and soon it was Nagato's turn.

The three of them went down to the field, facing a small team from Konoha.

This includes the Inuzuka clan, the Aburame clan, and the Hyuga clan.

Looking at Hoshino Shizuka, he's practically a carbon copy of Hinata and Shino Aburame.

But it must be said that this team is quite strong.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon seeing the team Nagato and his group were facing, Kushina Uzumaki immediately said, "I bet they're going to lose."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed and said, "Then you have too little faith in Mr. Hide."

Mimura Yomaki announced from below, "Begin!"

Yahiko formed hand seals, Konan threw her shuriken, and Nagato charged forward.

A very standard offensive and defensive formation.

Meanwhile, the Konoha squad scattered instantly, avoiding all the shuriken attacks.

The Inuzuka clan's genin fused with his ninja dog, leaped into the air, and unleashed Fang Over Fang, charging straight at Nagato from the side.

But then, columns of water rose up, one of which collided with the tooth-shaped tooth and blocked the attack.

At the same time, the Hyuga ninja rushing towards Konan was also forced back by the water pillar.

Only the Aburame clan's insect swarm bypassed the water column and headed straight for Nagato, who was at the forefront.

But Nagato was prepared. He formed a hand seal and brought his hands together, and a gust of wind burst forth from his palms, enveloping his entire body. As he spun rapidly, sharp wind blades formed and swirled around him.

The swarm of insects that had just descended were either blown away by the wind or cut in two by the wind blades.

As Nagato broke free from the insect swarm's blockade, he formed hand seals and unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Konan completed the hand seals for the Great Breakthrough of Wind Release. She opened her mouth and blew, and a whirlwind swept out, turning Nagato's flames into a rolling sea of ​​fire that swept towards Aburame and Inuzuka.

Inuzuka genin used Fang Over Fang again, tearing the sea of ​​fire apart and preventing Aburame genin from being attacked.

However, just as Inuzuka's attack ended, he was paralyzed by the electric current that swept across the ground and collapsed to the ground.

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

Behind him, Yahiko controlled the six water columns to move back and forth, preventing the Hinata ninja from breaking through.

Seeing that one of her comrades had fallen, the genin Aburame stopped paying attention to Nagato and instead split the swarm in two to attack Nagato and Konan with all her might.

Even if he falls, as long as these two people are dealt with, he can still survive.

So in the final one-on-one, they also have a chance to win.

Seeing the swarm of insects sweeping towards her, Konan knew she couldn't avoid it. She immediately threw shuriken with both hands, calling out softly, "Yahiko!"

As Yahiko saw the paper shuriken flying towards him, he immediately understood Konan's intention. He immediately withdrew his previous Water Ripple Technique and instead let the water flow around his entire body.

Just then, as Xiao Nan was about to be surrounded by the swarm of insects, she raised one hand.

The paper shuriken he threw immediately burst into flames and then exploded one after another.

Rumble!

A series of explosions scattered the swarm of insects attacking Yahiko.

Meanwhile, Nagato had already knocked out the Aburame genin.

Having avoided the explosion of the detonation tags, the Hyuga Shinobi looked at his remaining two opponents and had no choice but to admit defeat.

He was no match for two opponents.

The match ended quickly, and Nagato undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.

Because he used three different properties in total.

Let alone a genin who is not even ten years old, even a chunin would be shocking to have one like this.

It can be said that the shock that Nagato brought to the spectators at this moment was no less than that of Minato Namikaze, who had previously displayed amazing speed.
