The moment Onigashima Shinobu announced the winner, warm applause came from the audience one after another.

In such an atmosphere, Cai just glanced at him lightly, not shaken by these victories, showing an attitude of being unfazed.

However, in his own territory, he finally managed to maintain his position as the champion, which is not a bad feeling.

"You can block even that level of chakra, what a powerful kid."

Hong sighed.

"It's more terrifying than powerful. His overall strength is basically comparable to that of a Jonin."

Asuma was speechless.

Even he didn't have much confidence that he could block the last move unless he got intelligence in advance and took preventive measures in advance.

But ninja battles often involve a time lag in obtaining information. In a real battlefield, there is rarely time to obtain sufficient information and then make arrangements slowly.

Otherwise, the sacrifice rate of ninjas would not remain high every year.

The comprehensive strength of a twelve-year-old can be compared with that of a Jonin. This is already a quite terrifying evaluation.

There are only a few geniuses of this kind in the history of Konoha. If they don't break through, they are all powerful ninjas with reputations, such as Uchiha Ruri and Hyuga Ayane, who have left Konoha.

He is a ninja who became famous at a young age.

When he was still studying in the ninja school, he was already the leading genius jounin in Konoha at that time. At that time, he was often used as a positive teaching material by the teachers of the ninja school to encourage those who came after him.

Although there were some deviations later, it could not hide the fact that they were talented.

Of course, people like the late Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Itachi who had defected to Konoha, and Kakashi who is now the Minister of ANBU also showed great strength as a jounin when they were still young.

"It is indeed unique to make every part of the body into a weapon that can kill people."

Kai was simply shocked by Aya's physical skills.

Although his physical skills are very strong, his utilization rate of many parts of the body is not very high, and he cannot control something as inconspicuous as his hair to this level of detail.

But in terms of utilization rate of the body's 'weapon', Aya has surpassed him as a jounin.

Perhaps this is the uniqueness of the Hyuga clan in the land of ghosts.

Compared with traditional soft boxing, they are obviously advancing with the times and do not stick to traditional methods. Instead, they are based on the Hyuga clan's most basic ability to fully utilize chakra and embark on a completely different path from tradition.

And this path, so far, is brilliant and brilliant, which has benefited him a lot as a Jonin and greatly broadened his horizons.

"If he is that strong, no one at our age can defeat him, right?

Shikamaru held his head in his hands, looking distressed.

Unlike other peers who only lament that the other person is awesome, he sees more things, and the things he considers are naturally not limited to the surface.

What's more important is that the younger generation in the Kingdom of Ghosts is not just the one in front of you.

Each of the several genin from the Demon Country military who participated in the finals can be said to be a unique figure.

Moreover, he believed that the rule that the opponent could not be killed in the game may even have greatly restricted the performance of the genin of the Demon Country.

He could feel that these Genin of the Demon Country were all combatants who had experienced many bloody battles.

Not only does he have a solid foundation, but his comprehensive abilities in all aspects are far beyond the genin level.

This is not a good thing for Konoha, which has an extremely unharmonious relationship with the Kingdom of Demons.

Under the influence of his father over the years, he naturally knew what kind of extremely terrifying behemoth he would face if he took over the position of Konoha's Jonin squad leader in the future.

In contrast, although Konoha has many talents, overall, it is still a bit behind.

The most crucial point…

Shikamaru looked at Chiba Shiraishi on the high platform and sighed in his heart.

Too young.

The Hokage of their village is already old. According to his father, the health of the Third Hokage has been declining day by day in recent years, and it is not surprising that he would collapse from exhaustion at work.

It is common for elderly people of this age group to experience a direct physical collapse whenever they receive some strong stimulation.

This kind of pressure is extremely heavy even for a young man, let alone what kind of terrible pressure it is for an old man to bear.

Asuma seemed to see what Shikamaru was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Shikamaru, you don't need to think so much, we jonins are still here. Sometimes, don't bear the responsibility that you shouldn't

To take responsibility."

Shikamaru turned his head and glanced at Asuma, who was smiling faintly at him. He always felt that there was something in the other person's words, but he didn't know what he was going to say specifically.

But he still nodded.

Shikamaru also knew that he was a little too worried for thinking this way.

No matter what, what I need is to grow, not to take on responsibilities that I cannot bear.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru felt that he felt much more relaxed, and the pressure was suddenly relieved a lot.

Kurenai heard Asuma's words from the side and felt that such words should not be said to a genin. It would only increase the pressure on the Sunenian, but he hesitated and did not speak.

Asuma is not a random person. Maybe Shikamaru's existence is not ordinary. After all, the direct successor of the Nara clan cannot think with ordinary thinking.

"Kakashi, what do you think?"

Asuma asked.

Kakashi scratched his head and replied: "Let's talk about it then. The answer to this kind of matter can only be known after a high-level meeting. The most important thing now is to arrange these genin well to avoid any accidents."

“That’s all we can do.”

Asuma nodded and said nothing more.

Sakura had no interest in the riddles between the jounin, but felt sorry for Naruto losing the game.

Seeing Naruto being carried away by the medical ninja and sent to the infirmary for recuperation, Sakura had the intention of leaving.

"Don't leave yet, there will be an award ceremony next. Although Naruto did not win the championship, the reward for the runner-up is still quite generous, and there is also a consolation prize for Sasuke. When the time comes, help them two get it.

"

Seeing that Sakura was about to leave, Kakashi spoke.

"Eh?"

Just as Sakura was about to leave, when she heard what Kakashi said, she suddenly remembered that there was an award ceremony to be held next.

All contestants participating in the finals will receive a consolation prize, and the top contestants will also be encouraged with more generous prizes.

Although it is not anything related to ninjas, just items used in daily life, it also proves the organizer's intention.

"That's it, then I'll wait a little longer."

Sakura thought for a moment and felt that Sasuke and Naruto had specialized medical staff to take care of them and did not need her medical ninjutsu. It would not be a big deal even if they went a little late, so she simply stayed.

"But, Kakashi-sensei can do this kind of thing, right?"

Sakura asked.

Kakashi touched his chin and said: "Sorry, I have something to do next, so I will leave for now. I will pack and bring dinner over. Please take care of the two of us, Sakura."

Before Sakura could say anything, Kakashi formed a seal with his hands and disappeared from the place into a sheet of white smoke.

"What, you leave the mess to me to deal with again, Kakashi-sensei is just too lazy."

Sakura had seen Kakashi's irresponsible behavior so many times that she didn't bother to complain.

This kind of attitude of coming and leaving as soon as she said it made her not know what to say.

"Speaking of which, today is the day of the finals of the Joint Chuunin Examination."

In the hollow area of ​​​​the woods, there was no shade in the sky. The shark-faced man looked at the sweltering sun above his head and opened his mouth, feeling that his skin was a little dry.

Kisame was wondering if he should find a hot spring hotel and take a dip in the hot springs to cool down a bit at night.

If this kind of weather continues to come out, it's just asking for trouble.

Itachi, who was walking in front, was wearing the same black and red cloud coat as Kisame. He looked back at Kisame, not knowing what he meant.

"Hehe, it's nothing interesting. I just thought Itachi that you might care about this kind of thing. From what Bai Jue said, it seems that your brother is also a contestant.

Kisame's smile looked a bit naive.

But Itachi knew that beneath Kisame's honest and honest appearance was an extremely cold and delicate heart.

Coupled with his high strength, even in the Akatsuki organization, he is able to get along like a fish in water, which is completely different from himself as the subject of surveillance.

However, it is not difficult to change this status. That is to surrender to the upper management of the organization, completely draw a clear line with Konoha, and concentrate on working for the organization. Then, with Nagato's courage, he will not mind his past.

of.

But...do you really want to do this?

The dreams of his youth, the expectations of his parents, the attention of the Hokage, the hatred of his younger brother, the heavy responsibility given to him by the village... everything weighed him down and he couldn't breathe.

Although several years have passed, his perspective on thinking about things is no longer as extreme as before. The dispute behind the genocide of the Uchiha clan may not be manipulated by Danzo alone... But Itachi really can't imagine that the man who trusts him and Shisui

The Hokage would be such a miserable person.

What exactly went wrong back then?
To be continued...
