Red sand dust

When the lottery results came out, Sarutobi Asuma also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the last chuunin exam, none of the three students made it to the third trial, which really made the bearded teacher who was leading the team lose face.

Recommending a new genin to take the chuunin exam is a very serious matter, and it can easily be regarded as a sign of hostility among the jounin.

Several leading teachers at the same time were all playmates and classmates who had grown up together. If the students they recommended did not perform well, although there would be no substantial impact, it would still affect their reputation.

Fortunately, the Chunin Examination two years ago came to nothing due to the "Konoha Collapse Plan". "Monsters" are rampant in the Death Forest. In the early stage of the third trial that has not appeared for several years, there are lurking "venomous snakes" and life-threatening masters. There are really too many, and it is understandable that newcomers who are not strong enough will be frustrated.

Now that two years have passed, if everyone fails to enter the third test, I am afraid that the older generation of "Zigludie" will also come to "talk about their hearts."

Although I have confidence in the student's ability, looking at the other candidates, none of them are easy to deal with.

In a duel between companions, although there is less possibility of simultaneous advancement, at least the qualifications are guaranteed.

The competition between Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino was quite intense. On the surface, no one seemed to be suspected of cheating, and the fierce fighting did not look like a fake match with a tacit understanding.

Compared with the weakness of the Nara family's shadow secret technique, which is insufficient in explosive power, the Yamanaka family's mind secret technique is not good at direct combat, which is more obvious.

As long as the difference in strength is not too big, Nara Shikamaru is undoubtedly more likely to win.

The result was indeed as expected. Nara Shikamaru, who was no longer what he used to be, was much more skilled. Yamanaka Ino also performed very tenaciously and did not disgrace the family's reputation.

"Shadow Summoning Technique, Shadow Tentacles and Shadow Gathering Technique are basically shadow manipulation techniques. They are different fighting styles from Shadow Head Neck Binding Technique, Shadow Seam and Shadow Imitation Shuriken. Nara Shikamaru finally chose The former?"

That’s not to say that you can’t have both fighting styles, but when you’re not too strong, you have to focus on something, so as not to lose your uniqueness and appear mediocre.

The bearded man glanced at the confused Daimaru and said angrily:

"Back when Uchiha was rampant in the ninja world, all the fire escape ninjas were proud of learning their unique fire escape. This is why the 'Go Fireball Technique' is spread everywhere today; Konoha White Fang traveled across the battlefield, learning sword skills The number of young ninjas ushered in an explosion; Master Tsunade used medical ninjutsu to save countless compatriots, and there was an endless stream of graduates lining up to go to the hospital for internship..."

"Is this the trend brought about by celebrity ninjas?"

Daimaru nodded understandingly.

"You may be too busy recently and don't have time to be down-to-earth! Shunshen Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and copy ninja are already seniors. At less than seventeen years old, they repelled the assault force led by Onoki and Huangtu, the third generation of Tsuchikage. , and single-handedly captured the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki who had made great achievements in the Ninja War. You have to realize that you are the rising star with the most outstanding performance in the Ninja World. Even the Kazekage Fifth Generation Gaara's momentum is... A little worse..."

"So, are they all more or less imitating my fighting style? No wonder..."

The Shadow Summoning Technique and the Shadow Tentacle are just fine. The Shadow Concentration Technique is almost the Yin Escape version of Chakra Lines. It is natural for Daimaru to have a feeling of déjà vu.

"Why not learn the tactics that have been proven to be effective? Ninjas are not stereotyped samurai who are obsessed with the school and do not change the past! If the Wind Release Ninja Taijutsu shines in the third trial a month later, there must be a group of young ninjas ready to take action. …”

Inheritance is not available all the time. Even in Konoha Village, there are many people who have only learned a superficial knowledge from the professors in the ninja school, and then rely on their own wild paths to explore. If they can't copy existing successful cases, how can they be ninjas?

"So, I can be regarded as the idol of many young people?"

Daimaru asked with a smile.

"Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed very popular among civilian ninjas. You were born in poverty, but you succeeded in counterattacking through hard work! Even in Konoha Village, there are still people who are still thinking about what you did in the past, but it is obviously not the case now. My opponent may seek revenge from you in the future..."

"It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. It's been so long, why are you talking about it..."

Daimaru spread his hands helplessly. Speaking of grievances, when he escaped from Konoha Village during the "Konoha Collapse Plan", he did do some rude things to some genin and a certain ninja dog, but he still hasn't done it to this day. The guy who never forgets you must be too petty.

"Young people are very angry! However, with you as a target that makes people want to defeat them, many Konoha genin are more motivated, which can be considered a good thing!"

A motivated young man, after losing, tries hard to win back. His spirit is commendable, but when the target is himself, it is a bit unsatisfactory.

Suppressing the urge to complain, Daimaru watched Yamanaka Ino being carried away after being strangled unconscious by the shadow tentacles. Nara Shikamaru tightened the bandage on his arm and dragged his heavy body onto the stand.

After a few minutes of intermission, the final showdown between Konoha ninja and Suna ninja began between Shana and Rock Lee.

In terms of absolute strength, Locke Li, who has activated the Eight Gate Dunjia Formation, has an advantage, but whether he can display it smoothly is hard to say.

Just like now, facing the delicate and frail female ninja, Rock Lee, who didn't have much experience in dealing with strangers of the opposite sex, could not help but soften his fists and feet.

Shanai's left arm is holding a thick sand shield, and his right hand is wielding a heavy sand fist. He doesn't look like a real guy at first glance. If he gets hit, it's no joke.

Previously, the careless Tiantian was succeeded by this sneak attack.

After having learned his lesson, Locke Li would naturally not take this pretty girl with a bit of a fierce look lightly.

It's just that the sand shield condensed by the earth escape chakra has amazing defensive power. Without restraint of the thunder escape, it is really difficult to break it with brute force.

It's very strong, and a seven-point effect is pretty good. It also has to bear the damage from the heavy Earth Escape's counter-shock.

After a few minutes of testing, Rock Lee, whose fists were shaking with pain, untied the slightly bleeding bandage, and looked with a headache at Shanai, who was holding up the sand shield to protect himself with ease.

"Is it a battle between offense and defense? It seems that it will take some time to determine the winner, but..."

Gaara, who had watched several exciting battles, looked in the direction of Daimaru, wondering if he had done something else.

"Is Shanai that strong?"

Saya, Shana and Murasaki's team leader, Sugaru, was still on a business trip to Konoha Village and had no time to come back to take care of his subordinates' Chuunin exams. All arrangements were made by Miss Saya herself.
