"Konoha is indeed a place where talents emerge in great numbers."

"What should I do? I suddenly feel so panicked."

Having witnessed Yuuki's power, the examinees below began to whisper among themselves. Uchiha Shisui, however, didn't waste any time and directly announced, "Then, let's continue the exam. Number eight versus number twenty-two, please come to the stage."

Number eight represents the future. Number twenty-two, on the other hand, is a ninja from Kirigakure.

This Hidden Mist ninja was quite strong, probably around the Chunin level. However, against the exceptionally powerful Future, he was clearly no match. In fact, it only took two moves to force his opponent to surrender, immediately moving on to the next round.

The battle continues.

Following the first match against Future and the second against Yuuki, the third match was the duel between Sakura and Ino from the original story. Unsurprisingly, the battle between these two girls resulted in mutual injury, and both were disqualified from continuing the exam.

The fourth match, just like in the original story, was Rock Lee vs. Gaara. This match between these two in Chapter 737 was a truly spectacular battle. A complete taijutsu ninja against a Sand ninja who was almost immune to most taijutsu.

Having opened the fourth gate, Lee, just like in the original story, completely destroyed Gaara's Sand Armor. However, that was the end of it. Lee's ultimate fate was also similar to the original story: a fractured thighbone and severed meridians, rendering him a cripple.

However, unlike others, this world has Wuyue. With medical skills unimaginable to ordinary people, Xiao Li recovered instantly. Not only was healed, but even his previous hidden injuries were healed by Wuyue. It was as if he had been completely resurrected, reborn.

The fifth match continued.

The two sides in the battle are the main family of the Hyuga clan versus the branch family. That is, Hinata Hyuga versus Neji Hyuga. Unlike the original story, because his father was not killed in the Hinata kidnapping incident several years ago, Neji does not harbor strong hatred towards the Hyuga main family, which is represented by Hinata.

Even so, Neji didn't hold back at all in this AP battle. He completely unleashed 100% of his power.

Gentle Fist!

ぐu

Neji Hyuga was clearly quite talented in the Hyuga clan's unique Gentle Fist style. While he couldn't compare to Saori Hyuga, who was personally trained by Mugetsu, he was still superior to the younger generation of the Hyuga clan. His attacks were extremely swift. His mastery and application of pressure point techniques were also superb. He quickly cornered Hinata.

"Admit defeat, young lady." Neji looked calmly at Hinata and said softly, "The outcome of this battle is already clear. You are no match for me."

"No, I can't fall here yet, Neji-nii-san." Hinata sighed softly, "He's watching me. I don't want to disappoint him."

"Him?" Neji frowned slightly. He clearly didn't know who "him" referred to. However, it didn't matter; in his view, the outcome of the battle was already decided. "I'm sorry, young lady. If you insist on continuing, I'll have no choice but to incapacitate you."

call.

As he spoke, he gently raised his hands, and a special kind of chakra burst forth.

"Come on, Neji-nii-san." Hinata clenched her right fist, then opened her left hand into a palm, assuming a fighting stance. "From now on, I'll fight you with my true strength."

True strength?

Hyuga Neji froze for a moment. Without any hesitation, he charged forward instantly.

Soft Fist - Bagua Palm!

Hu Chi.

The palm strike was fierce, whistling through the air.

However, to everyone's surprise, this palm strike, which seemed impossible to defend against even by sight, missed its mark. Hinata's figure then appeared behind him like a ghost.

"what?"

This time, it wasn't just Hyuga Neji who was surprised. Even the crowd below the stage showed expressions of astonishment and astonishment. Apart from a few people like Mirai and Yuuki, they had no idea how Hinata had moved.

Even those who could detect Hinata's movements in the future wore expressions of disbelief. "This, this kind of taijutsu... is that Papa's Hakuda?!"

"What is 'white-hat'?" Xi Yue asked, turning her face away.

"It's a special attack method that combines multiple taijutsu techniques such as body-flipping, punches, elbow strikes, and kicks. It's a bit like Gentle Fist, but it also has the speed and power of Hard Fist." Mirai looked intently at Hinata and explained softly, "This kind of taijutsu is very difficult to learn. Even I only know a little bit about it."

"If that's the case, how did Hinata learn it?" Sakura asked in astonishment.

"Perhaps it was Aunt Hong who taught it." The future was uncertain. Because in her memory, even Hong didn't know this special physical skill.

"It's over." Suddenly, Yuuki said, "Even with the Byakugan's superhuman perception, it probably couldn't withstand such a physical attack. Even if you've calculated a way to deal with it in your head, your body can't keep up."

In fact it is.

After activating her "white-hat mode," Hinata's speed and strength far surpassed those of ordinary people. While Hyuga Neji was undoubtedly strong, at this stage, facing such a monstrous ability, he was clearly outmatched. Defeat was only a matter of time.

Chapter 0434 Mental Suggestion

"Reporting to the Hokage."

Inside the Hokage's office, Uchiha Shisui said with a serious expression, "The third round of the Chunin Exams has completely ended, and a total of twelve people have qualified for the finals."

Well?

Because Mugetsu left the arena after Hinata's match, she didn't have detailed knowledge of the battles of the subsequent participants. "Twelve people? Aside from Ino and Sakura, who drew, there should be fourteen others, right? Why are there only twelve?"

"Two of the winning ninjas have been confirmed to be imposters," Uchiha Shisui said calmly. "Therefore, they were dealt with by my subordinates before the exam ended."

"Impersonation, huh?" Wuyue stroked her chin and said softly, "Is it a grass ninja or a hot spring ninja?"

“It’s the Hot Spring Ninja.” Uchiha Shisui narrowed his eyes and said seriously, “It’s been confirmed. The ones who replaced them are ninjas from Iwagakure. And they’re not low-ranking.”

"A clown." With a light snort, Wuyue waved her hand. "That's all, I understand. Keep a close eye on the actions of the Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja, and report any developments immediately."

"Yes." Shisui nodded respectfully, accepted the order, and left.

“Now, it’s time to get down to business.” Wuyue stood up, turning her gaze to Yecang beside her. “Are you ready for the revenge?”

“Of course, my master.” Ye Cang grinned, revealing a meaningful smile.

……

……

The land of wind, where sandstorms rage.

Standing before the gates of Sunagakure, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, dressed in full formal attire, calmly asked, "Have all our people been arranged?"

“Yes, Lord Kazekage.” Beside him, a Sand Ninja with bandages wrapped around his head knelt on one knee. “Four hundred Jonin and three thousand Chunin are ready. You can infiltrate Konoha in an instant with just one order.”

“Very good.” Rasa nodded, glancing at the swirling sandstorm. “Inform Maki to keep Gaara ready to attack at any moment. As a weapon, it’s time to make its contribution.”

"Yes, Lord Kazekage. I will go and deliver the message immediately." The Sand Ninja nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

"You really are a strict father, Kazekage-sama." Just then, the air suddenly distorted, and Obito Uchiha, shrouded in a black robe, appeared. "If your child knew the orders you gave, he would be very sad."

"His existence was for this moment." Rasa wasn't surprised by the other's actions, saying casually, "As long as we can complete our plan, even sacrificing his own life for it is his honor. Besides, have the other ninja village forces completed their deployments?"

"Hmm." Obito nodded and said, "Five hundred men from Iwagakure, seven hundred from Kumogakure, four hundred from Kirigakure, plus Orochimaru's Dead Men Force. That's enough to strike Konoha."

"What?!" Luo Sha was stunned, his expression suddenly turning furious. "You bastard! Are you trying to fool me?!"

Keep in mind, that ninja village mobilized a full third of its forces! Almost its entire Jonin army was staked on it. And these other ninja villages only had a few hundred people? Are they using their own villages as cannon fodder? How can anyone tolerate this?

"Well, well, don't get so worked up." Obito shrugged and said, "The Kazekage should know very well that Konoha's intelligence department is not easy to fool. If we make too big of a move and get discovered, it may cause our plan to fail."

"That's no excuse!" Luo Sha gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "You bunch of guys have absolutely no sincerity in forming an alliance!"

"Sincerity?" Obito pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this? If our plan succeeds, I will help you persuade the other ninja villages. I will let your Sunagakure village obtain most of the Land of Fire's land and allow you to relocate to Konoha's original territory. What do you say?"

It has to be said that this is a very strong temptation.

The Land of Wind is a barren place, with extremely scarce resources. Just look at the endless yellow sand and the few water sources in Sunagakure to understand this.

Relocating the village to Konoha would be a huge boost to their development. It might even make Sunagakure the strongest ninja village in the world.

However, Rasa, as the Kage of the village, was clearly not stupid. Ideals are good, but they must at least be achievable. Leaving aside Konoha's other military forces, the mere title of "Konoha Celestial Dragon" was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, making his ideas seem like mere fantasies. "Do you think I'm an idiot? With this kind of military strength, you think you can conquer the entire Land of Fire?"

“Well, Kazekage-sama, that's not quite right.” Shaking his head, Obito tempted, “Don't forget, besides these regular ninja units, Orochimaru's Corps of the Dead is also a formidable force. Infinite chakra, completely immortal bodies. Even the Konoha Heavenly Dragons would have to expend considerable effort to eliminate them. Moreover, our Akatsuki organization will cooperate with us.” As he spoke, a crimson light emanated from his right eye, and he secretly activated the Sharingan's genjutsu.

Under these circumstances, Luo Sha was also influenced by this mental suggestion, unconsciously letting go of his inner doubts and confusion.

Chapter 0435 Ambush!

"Lord Kazekage, we have entered the territory of the Land of Fire." In a field of green grass, a Sand Ninja, serving as the Kazekage's bodyguard, knelt on one knee. "Twenty miles ahead is the Konoha headquarters."

"Okay." Luo Sha nodded and said, "Continue on. Pay close attention to the surroundings, and report back immediately if you find anything."

"Yes." The guard accepted the order and disappeared from the spot.

"Lord Kazekage, are you worried about us being attacked?" another guard asked.

"We must be careful in everything we do," Fengying said calmly. "Especially since we have that kind of plan. If the guys from Konoha find out, there's no guarantee they won't take some countermeasures. Besides, the guys we're cooperating with aren't exactly good people either."

At this point, he felt a sudden, inexplicable unease. He had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

Indeed, that was the case. Just after they had continued on their way, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from ahead.

"It's Mizukawa's voice!" a guard exclaimed.

"Oh no! Enemy attack!"

"Protect Lord Kazekage!"

Despite their panic, the guards remained calm and quickly formed a swastika-shaped formation to protect Feng Ying.

call out.

Just then, a fireball of moderate size suddenly appeared. It hurtled towards the group of Sand Ninja from afar.

"That is..." Luo Sha's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly shouted. "Quick, scatter!" At the same time, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The two ninjas beside him reacted quickly, dodging the attack the instant he spoke. The two guards in front, however, were a step too slow. The fireball exploded beneath their feet, instantly turning them into dried corpses.

"The water in my body has evaporated?!"

"This technique, could it be..."

The remaining two Wind Shadow Guards were shocked and stared in astonishment into the depths of the dense forest.

Tapping.

Light footsteps sounded, and a woman dressed in a black and white maid outfit appeared in everyone's sight. "It's been a long time, Lord Kazekage."

"Ye Cang, it really is you!" Luo Sha narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "As a traitor to the village, how dare you show your face in front of me?!"

"Heh, you're still as self-righteous as ever." Ye Cang shook his head and chuckled, "However, since you're about to die, I'll forgive you this time." Before he could finish the last word, he suddenly vanished.

"what?"

"not good!"

The two Wind Shadow Guards instinctively sensed something was wrong, but before they could make any move, Ye Cang's palm had already covered their foreheads.

buzzing.

A crimson chakra sphere appeared and instantly entered their bodies.
