Naruto: My setting is above yours.

This is outrageous!

Coming to his senses, Yamashiro Aoba adjusted his sunglasses: "I must learn from this."

Shizune looked at his sunglasses: "Qingye, do you want to take off your sunglasses?"

Yamashiro Aoba hesitated.

Xuanma laughed and said, "Sunglasses are indeed not suitable for nighttime combat, unless they are specially made."

"Sunglasses do have some use in daytime combat, such as blocking out light."

Yamashiro Aoba nodded: "I'll try to get the custom sunglasses made. If it doesn't work, I'll take them off tonight."

Nodding, Xuanma glanced at the battle that was about to end and said, "Let's go, the final match is in three days."

The three turned and left.

Meanwhile, in the examination room monitoring room.

Watching Obito Uchiha's awkward situation on the screen, Minato Namikaze felt extremely embarrassed.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the child: "This child..."

Minato Namikaze quickly replied, "I will do my best to guide you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, took a puff of his cigarette, and asked, "Do you know anything about the Wind-Riding Genma?"

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment: "Eh, well... I don't really know much about it."

"I've only heard Kakashi mention it, saying that Genma's strength is unfathomable."

"Moreover, he possesses extraordinary talent unlike anyone else, enabling him to develop ordinary ninjutsu in incredible ways."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered, "Since Kakashi said that, it seems the two of them will put on a very exciting showdown in this assessment."

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Sakumo-senpai also has a very high opinion of Genma, and as far as I know, Genma and Lady Tsunade have a very good relationship."

"It is said that he has an amazing talent for medical ninjutsu."

He did know that Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Genma's medical skills have already surpassed those of his mother, Ritsuka.

That's truly amazing for someone that age.

"Let's take a look at the assessment in three days!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Yes!"

……

After parting ways with Shizune and the others, Genma went to the forest to train again.

To completely transform from Wood Release Chakra Mode to Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, one must never stop training and absorb the power of plant cells every day to change one's physique.

Fortunately, he possessed a chakra level comparable to the One-Tailed Fox, which greatly enhanced his endurance. Otherwise, with his initial chakra level, such a gradual change would have taken ten years.

After eating and drinking his fill, Genma pondered to himself, "First, I need to modify the summoning technique, summon Nawaki's soul from the Pure Land, and overcome Tsunade's hemophobia."

"I'll definitely have a significant amount of setting points coming in then. Once I master Wood Release, my next step is to accumulate setting points and modify the Chakra Refining Technique again."

"The vast, ubiquitous natural energy is the next version."

Xuanma had thought about the future path many times and had several plans.

But no matter what, chakra is the core of the core.

……

Time passed day by day, and soon the third round of the Chunin Exams began.

This time it's in a huge indoor training arena.

All the genin who participated in the third assessment gathered here, standing in the stands around the training ground.

Beneath the giant ninja statue, a special Jonin serves as the examiner.

The names of the opponents will be displayed on an electronic screen.

Xuanma was already used to this.

The technology in the Naruto world will always remain a mystery.

Take air conditioning and electricity, for example. They were already commonplace even in Tobirama Senju's time, let alone now.

Computers are used extensively at Konoha Hospital.

There are also many advanced medical devices.

At this moment, Genma knew that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was definitely watching this scene on the monitor.

Once everyone was present, two names immediately appeared on the electronic display screen.

"Shizune, Rin Nohara!"

The examiner shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, the first match was a battle between two medical ninjas.

Xuanma seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems this isn't necessarily a random matchup.

"Then I'll go."

Silent opening.

Xuanma smiled and said, "Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Yamashiro Aoba said, "Go for it!"

Shizune nodded, then leaped from the stands and landed in the stadium.

Not far away, Rin Nohara made her entrance amidst cheers from Obito Uchiha.

The examiner, Hisakatsu Yuto, glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you ready?"

Shizune and Rin Nohara exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison: "Ready!"

Hisakatsu Yuto immediately raised his hand and waved: "Begin!"

Whoosh~

Shuriken flew out as the two almost simultaneously chose to test each other with ninja tools.

The shuriken clashed and fell to the ground.

Shizune raised her hand, launched a hidden arrow, and immediately charged towards Nohara Rin.

Rin Nohara was startled and dodged the hidden arrow, but Shizune seized the opportunity to rush forward, wielding a kunai and launching a fierce attack, drawing Rin Nohara into her own offensive rhythm.

In the stands, Obito Uchiha watched nervously, repeatedly shouting "Go for it!"

Kakashi snapped, "Shut up, you idiot!"

Just as Obito Uchiha was about to retort, Kakashi added, "You're only distracting Rin."

He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, finally giving up unhappily, and then said worriedly, "Kakashi, Rin seems to be at a disadvantage!"

Will we lose if we continue like this?

Kakashi calmly analyzed, "Not that fast."

"Although Lin has fallen into the opponent's rhythm, Shizune does not have an absolute advantage."

"There isn't a significant difference between the two in terms of physical skills."

Obito Uchiha let out a long sigh: "That's good."

"As long as Lin holds on, we'll definitely win!"

Kakashi, however, was not so optimistic and couldn't help but glance at Genma not far away.

With such a companion around, silence probably won't be that simple, right?

Chapter 44, Scene 1 (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On!)

The battle continues.

After realizing that she couldn't defeat Nohara Rin with taijutsu, Shizune immediately retreated a distance and took out a smoke bomb from her ninja tool pouch.

Bang!

The smoke bomb exploded in front of Nohara Rin, and the smoke rose up, obscuring the surroundings.

Nohara Rin held a kunai and watched her surroundings warily.

Shizune quickly formed hand seals, and her right palm was immediately covered with blue chakra, with a faint sound of air vibration emanating from it.

Chakra Scalpel!

After completing the spell, Shizune immediately rushed into the smoke.

Seeing this, Genma smiled.

He knew that Silent was going to win.

Sure enough, after the smoke cleared, Nohara Rin was found kneeling on one knee, unable to move.

After glancing at the examiner, Hisakatsu Yuto, he announced, "Shizune wins!"

In the stands, Obito Uchiha's eyes widened: "Rin just lost like that?"

"What kind of ninjutsu was that just now?"

Kakashi said, "It should be Chakra Scalpel, an A-rank medical ninjutsu."

Obito Uchiha exclaimed in surprise: "Rank A difficulty, Shizune is that amazing!"

"Is Lin alright?"

Obito Uchiha was worried.

Kakashi didn't answer, but instead said, "Worry about yourself first!"
