Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

"Alright, then we'll do as the Hokage says. We'll let this kid off the hook this time."

She clapped her hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"Dear candidates!" Hongdou's voice resounded throughout the venue.

All eyes turned to her.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused, Hongdou began to announce:

"Given the current large number of participants, we have decided to add an additional qualifying round."

"Next, you will engage in one-on-one battles to eliminate half of the teams!"

As Hongdou announced the announcement, another commotion arose among the candidates below.

"The qualifiers? Why weren't you mentioning that before?"

"Um...wasn't this added at the last minute? It's obviously aimed at Boss Youyue, right?" one examinee muttered in a low voice.

The scene descended into chaos for a moment, but everyone realized that the exam was about to become even more intense and brutal.

Red Bean shouted loudly.

"Now, teams that do not wish to participate can leave. But remember, this will be considered a voluntary withdrawal from the competition."

As soon as she finished speaking, most of the candidates did not react, and it seemed that no one intended to leave the room.

After all, now that we're here, we should give it our all, no matter what happens next.

What if the dog gets lucky?

"You're not planning to quit?"

In the crowd, Sasuke asked Kabuto in a low voice.

Kabuto was taken aback:

"Why should I quit? Oh, Sasuke-kun, do you think I'm a threat to you?"

Kabuto pushed up his glasses with his middle and ring fingers, a smile appearing on his face:

"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun, I'm very weak. Even if we faced off, I couldn't beat you."

Logically, this should have been a humble remark, but Sasuke nodded earnestly:

Kabuto almost couldn't help but laugh, thinking, "You actually believed that?"

As expected, the members of the Uchiha clan were all very proud.

When you truly understand my real strength, let's see if you can still remain so calm.

Ignoring Sasuke, Kabuto turned to a Cloud Village team that had somehow infiltrated the crowd.

Yoruichiro, Higen no Takashi, and Higen no Kyo all looked listless, a side effect of the cursed seal.

When Orochimaru saw these three strong bodies, he did not kill them immediately, but chose to keep them as subjects for his experiments.

"Boss, why are we so unlucky? There are experts everywhere we go," hope Huanchong said dejectedly.

“That’s right, even a random guy we meet is hiding such formidable strength,” hope Huanjing chimed in.

"Damn it, you chose it yourselves, why are you asking me?" Ye Yue Liuliang was speechless at these two idiots.

The three men had no idea of ​​the true identity of the person who had defeated them.

All we know is that he was a mysterious person dressed as a ninja from Kusagakure, who easily defeated them.

They didn't take their lives immediately, but simply locked them in a tree hollow, which saved them from certain death.

Chapter 202 Kang Zhu!

"The first assessment battle!"

"Yotsuki Ryoro vs. Hozuki Heigetsu!"

As the random match results were revealed on the big screen, Mitarashi Anko loudly announced the two sides for the first match.

"Boss, you went first!"

"We must perform well and demonstrate the strength of our Hidden Cloud Village!"

The hope and Huan brothers jumped around excitedly, seemingly even more nervous and excited than the person in question.

They did almost nothing in the Death Forest; they just slept soundly for five days.

Fortunately, there was a pair of scrolls nearby, otherwise they might have been obsolete long ago.

This incident was quite a blow to the three of them, so now that Yotsuki Ryūra is able to be the first to appear, it is an excellent opportunity for him.

If you can perform well, you'll definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best even if you don't tell me."

Yoruichi clenched his fists expressionlessly, his fingertips crackling with electricity, casting a bluish glow on his face.

"Please bring your players to the stage!"

Mitarashi Anko's voice rang out again, and her figure instantly appeared in the central area.

At her signal, the other examinees retreated to the sides of the field, making room for Hozuki Heitsuki and Yozuki Ryura to fight.

"The Hozuki clan? I hope you're not too weak, or I'll have a chance to laugh at you."

Yoruichiro had a faint smile on his face, seemingly not taking the other person seriously at all.

"What are you saying in your gibberish? Stay here!"

Hozuki Heigetsu didn't waste any words and immediately took action:

"Water Gun Technique - Sweeping Fire!"

He quickly condensed a few drops of clear water with his fingertips and shot them at Yoruichi Ryūrō with astonishing speed.

"Yoshi yoshi..."

Although these bullets are made of water, they should not be underestimated. Their power is enough to penetrate metal and stone, and the damage they cause should not be underestimated!

"A taijutsu ninja? Hmph, I love dealing with guys like that the most."

A disdainful smile appeared on Hozuki Heigetsu's lips.

It is well known that most people who rely on physical combat skills are adept at close-quarters fighting.

However, when facing a ranged offensive character like him, the opponent often has little chance to get close enough to launch an effective attack.

In other words, in this situation, the side with the absolute advantage is definitely the one with the ability to suppress from a distance.

—Like himself!

Just as Hozuki Heigetsu was confidently preparing to increase the intensity of his attacks, he suddenly felt his body begin to tremble uncontrollably.

I just couldn't resist!

Although it looks very strange and even a bit messy, the number of water bullets launched increases exponentially with each tremor of the body.

In the blink of an eye, the air was filled with countless water bullets hurtling toward the target!

Just when everyone thought that Yotsuki Ryūrō was out of options, he remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or attempt to escape.

Instead, it gives people a feeling of being poised to unleash something... as if some earth-shattering change is about to happen.

The moonlit night stirred something within me.

He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and for a moment it seemed as if the earth itself trembled from the force of his blow.

Then, lightning erupted around his body, enveloping him like a flowing layer of electric light, giving him an aura of fear.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode, activated!

Sizzle sizzle!

Yotsuki Ryoura transformed into a lightning-fast figure and rushed straight towards Hozuki Heigetsu.

He braved the barrage of water bullets and charged forward head-on, directly confronting the enemy's attack!

Yozuki Ryura's body was tightly covered by lightning armor that shimmered with arcs of electricity, and when it collided with the water bullets fired by Hozuki Heigetsu, it successfully withstood most of the attack!

The remaining shockwave posed little threat to this physically strong ninja.

"How is that possible!"

Upon seeing this, Hozuki Heigetsu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide with shock.

Not only was the defense incredibly strong, but the opponent's speed was also simply too fast...

He didn't have time to react before he watched helplessly as that powerful figure drew near.

Before he could even think about how to respond, the other person's strong arms had already gripped his body tightly.

With a low growl, Yoruichiro grabbed his opponent tightly, lifted him into the air, and slammed him to the ground.

"Thunderbolt Bomb!"

The four words were almost roared out of his throat.

Then an incredibly powerful energy erupted from his body, crashing down with devastating force.

"boom--"!

A dazzling bolt of lightning exploded, and the powerful current combined with the physical impact struck Hozuki Heigetsu hard, causing massive damage.

Instantly, the solid ground beneath their feet was torn apart by this force!

It left behind a huge crater and a network of cracks extending outwards in all directions.

The audience erupted in commotion, discussing how the fierce battle would end.

"Damn, did the boss use too much force?" hope Huanchong said in a panic.

"What's there to be afraid of? There will always be casualties in battle. So what if we die? Anyway, with Lord Raikage backing us up, what can Kirigakure do?"

hope Huanjing, standing next to him, responded nonchalantly.

"With that much force, those people over there might already be turned into mincemeat..." someone speculated about Hozuki Heigetsu's fate.

"That's ruthless enough," someone nearby added.
