As Toneri completes the construction of the final arena for the Chunin Exams.
The third stage of the Chunin Exams has also officially begun.
As the Hokage, the Mizukage, the Kazekage, Toneri, Goju Yagura, and Rasa sat at the top of the viewing platform, watching the battle of the genin participating in the Chunin Exam below.
It's just that now, many people don't have much thought to focus on the battle of the genin below.
Regardless of whether anyone has seen Sheren Mudun before, his heart is not at peace at this moment.
Namikaze Minato, who was standing behind Toneri, quietly gave a thumbs up to Toneri.
This is what they, the top brass of Konoha, had discussed from the very beginning, to give the representatives from various countries who came to take part in the Chuunin Exams this time with various thoughts a slap in the face.
Winning the first place in the Chunin Exam can only be regarded as the outstanding talent of Konoha's younger generation, and there will be more strong ones in the future.
But this is only in the future, not now. Although it will have a certain impact on the negotiations after the Chunin Exam, it will only have a small impact, and the impact will not be great.
At least, it becomes the key to changing other people's minds.
But the skill shown by Toneri is different. This is an arena that covers a huge area and can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators to watch at the same time. However, Toneri's wooden escape was completed in minutes.
This is not only a visual impact and a pressure on strength, but also illustrates one thing. As long as Konoha does not suffer a devastating blow, as long as he is willing, the entire Konoha Village can fully recover within a few minutes.
Otherwise, if you really want to build it in advance, even without Toneri's Wood Release, wouldn't Konoha as a whole be able to complete the construction of such a site with such a long preparation time?
Isn't it just to show his ability and strength to the rest of the hidden village for the last time before the negotiation, so as to create a large enough deterrent?
Now it seems that the results achieved at this time are quite good. The ninjas from the outer village who were responsible for the final negotiations were more or less touched in their hearts.
Especially the person in charge of Yunyin Village, Tutai, who just escaped from death.
At this time, he was sitting in his seat, his breathing had not completely calmed down, and more than half of the chakra in his body had been absorbed.
At Toneri's signal, the genin below finally began the third stage of the assessment.
Nara Shikaku, as the person in charge, is also the chief examiner of this final round of assessment.
Behind Gotachibana Yagura were Ao, Mei Terumi, and Sasaki who were disguised as Toneri's Wood Release clones. They were sitting at the front of the stands, watching the genin from various hidden villages in the middle fight.
In addition to analyzing the abilities of these genin and giving certain hints before the ninjas from Kirigakure Village appear, they also save the genin who may be defeated on their side at critical moments.
"Sasaki-kun, what do you think of the Wood Release of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha just now?"
When he was bored, Terumi Mei had not yet fully recovered from the shock that Toneri had given him just now.
Toneri glanced at her lightly, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said expressionlessly:
"Very strong, very strong! Not only the amount of chakra, but also the quality of chakra and even the control of chakra, it almost surpasses some people present.
Not only that, Mu Dun's ability is also very powerful. If you look at the earth platform in Yunyin Village, it has not fully recovered at this time. It must have consumed a lot of chakra, and a lot of chakra was absorbed by Mu Dun."
Hearing this, Terumi Mei's eyes lit up and she gently smoothed her long brown hair from her temples.
"I didn't expect you, Sasaki-kun, to be so observant."
First he sighed and then continued to ask: "Then what do you think your chances of winning are if you face him?"
Toneri turned his head slightly and looked into her eyes. After making sure that she was not joking, he asked helplessly: "Then what do you think my chances of winning are? In other words, what are your chances of winning?"
Terumi Mei didn't understand the meaning of Toneri's words, so she looked like she was thinking, and finally said dejectedly:
"If it were me...I'm afraid...there's no chance of winning, right?"
No matter which aspect she thought about, she felt that she probably had no chance of winning. This was due to the gap in overall strength.
But then, Terumi Mei's eyes lit up again, and she looked at Toneri hopefully.
"But if it's Sasaki-kun..."
"Ahem, don't just see his Wood Release. You also need to see the eye in his left eye. If you guessed correctly, it should be the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, which can shine in the dark.
The eyes that emit scarlet light are undoubtedly the Sharingan.
Although it is unclear why the one inside is not magatama but is shaped like a pinwheel, but with his current strength, this Sharingan must not be weaker than the three Magatama Sharingan.
You have to analyze this kind of strength carefully." Sheren added immediately.
When I analyze my own strength, I barely reveal my family background.
Hearing what he said, Terumi Mei nodded thoughtfully. After a slight hesitation, she stretched out her hand and gave a number.
Hold up your index and middle fingers in a "yeah" gesture.
"Twenty percent, no more. I think Sasaki-kun should have 20%. If it's Mizukage-sama, he should have a 40% chance of winning. After all, they are all Kage from the same village. Even if there is a difference in strength, there shouldn't be anything special.
big."
Toneri patted his forehead lightly.
Well, no matter what, you are better than yourself, and the chances of winning are almost the same.
"You win, whatever you say is the case, so be it."
It would have been fine if Toneri refuted it, but he didn't, which really surprised Terumi Mei.
Originally, there was some moisture in her words. She felt that she had no chance of winning, and even if Sasaki had a chance of winning, it would only be 10% at most.
Now that he didn't object to 20%, does that mean that Sasaki still had a large part of his strength that he didn't use when fighting her.
This still surprised her. She didn't expect that Toneri's strength was actually stronger than she imagined.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that my Kirigakure Village was not that weak.
In addition to the fourth generation Mizukage Goju Yagura, there is also a strong person like Toneri hidden in Kirigakure Village.
At the same time, she gradually "understood" that Goju Yagura might have other motives for dragging Toneri directly into the Hokage Guards.
As the captain of the escort team, Qing is not weak in strength, but if there are no special opportunities, his upper limit is only this.
Over time, the position of captain of the escort team may be changed.
So Sasaki, also known as Toneri, who is stronger than Terumi Mei, must be the first to bear the brunt.
She also knew the special meaning of the position of captain of the escort team.
Does this mean... Toneri has the potential to become the fifth generation Mizukage?
After all, Goju Yagura just looks younger, but in fact his son is almost reaching the age of marriage.
Thinking of this, Terumi Mei suddenly felt that the road to Kirigakure Village would definitely be much easier to walk in the future than before.
"Hey..." He rubbed his nose gently.
Toneri looked at her in surprise. He had been giggling there just now, and he didn't know what he was giggling about.
This is probably the self-braining ability of one person who may never understand another person.
This seemingly unrelated connection was actually figured out by her.
"Stop your saliva." Shiren said with a hint of ridicule.
Suck--
Terumi Mei immediately took a breath and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
After making an extremely shameful slurping sound, a blush immediately appeared on her face, and the blush on her face became more and more obvious.
At the same time, she also realized that Toneri was making fun of her.
She immediately rolled her eyes at him.
With such charming eyes and a touch of charm inherent in them, Toneri actually felt that his little heart was beating uncontrollably.
Sin, sin, sin, this charming little fairy is even more attractive when fully grown than when she was little.
"Ahem..." Toneri coughed again to hide his embarrassment.
At this time, Mei Terumi was not like the fifth-generation Mizukage in the future, who was troubled by marriage problems and had a bad temper. At this time, she was still an upright young girl, with an ignorant spring heart, but at the same time, her bad temper was concealed.
After all, it was her girlish heart that was ready to move.
In order to cover up her embarrassment, Terumi Mei immediately brought the topic to the venue where the competition was taking place.
"Sasaki-kun, who do you think can win between these two people?"
At this time, on the playing field in the middle of the venue, the contestants were a puppet master from Sunagakure Village, and the unknown puppet master from Kawakakure Village who had received certain attention from the beginning.
Ninja.
The puppet master of Sand Hidden Village controlled his puppets to launch attacks continuously. The man didn't seem to be feeling well at this time, and he just kept dodging in the field.
Every dodge looks like a dangerous situation, but it is just right. It is difficult to tell whether he is able to move freely because of his strength, or whether he is able to dodge in time every time because of his good luck.
"I think it should be the Kawa nin." Toneri replied after a slight hesitation.
"Hmm? That Kawa-nin? Sasaki-kun, do you think that this Kawa-nin is hiding his strength? You must know that he is a blind man."
Rubbing his chin gently, "I have this guess, but judging from his broken clothes and expression at this time, it is indeed difficult to determine his true strength.
It's just that his fighting methods and methods are not very skilled, and this can be seen.
But it is precisely this that is surprising. For a person who does not have much combat experience to reach this point, there is only one possibility. He is very strong, but is only held back by combat experience. This leads to
He hopes that every battle can last for a long time, so that he can gain more practical experience.
However, how does a person with no combat experience possess such strength?
I’m very curious about this.”
After hearing Toneri's analysis, Terumi Mei, who had been observing the opponent for a while, suddenly discovered that the Kawa-nin's movements were becoming more and more skillful, and his avoidance of puppet attacks became more and more consistent and smooth, without the awkwardness at the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, surprise appeared in her eyes, and she turned to look at Toneri, "This Kawanin...couldn't he have no combat experience before taking the chunin exam?"
Is he going to pass this chunin exam to quickly improve his combat experience?
Are there any such talented people in this world?"
Shiren slowly shook his head, "I'm afraid, it's not that he is a genius, but that his own strength is actually strong enough. This is also the guarantee that he dares to do this."
As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly towards his own body sitting in the middle on the highest platform at the back.
As if noticing his gaze, Toneri's body also looked at him, and gently lowered his eyes in a way that only he could understand, indicating that he had also discovered it.
Now that his true form has been discovered, the clone disguised as Sasaki is now relieved.
After all, he is just a clone now and can't do much.
His action was inconspicuous, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
"There are still people with such strength hidden in this Chunin Exam? What exactly does Kawakakure want to do?"
At this time, the blind Kawa-nin in white clothes was already the last remaining ninja from Xiaoyin Village in the current rapid progress.
The Kawakakure Village is proud of being able to persist in the Chunin Examination that the five Hidden Villages jointly participated in.
In fact, there are many people in charge of the Small Hidden Village, and they also know that the real protagonists of this Chunin Exam are the genin of the Great Hidden Village. They are just here to accompany them. They just want to give Konoha's invitation a face. No.
Need to force it.
However, this blind Kawa-nin in white clothes was somewhat beyond most people's expectations.
And judging by his appearance, he might be able to keep going.
You know, in order to get the results of the Chuunin Exam as quickly as possible and to allow Toneri's next expected negotiations to proceed quickly, Nara Shikaku also made some moves in the drawing of lots.
Try to let the weaker ones be eliminated in the first few rounds, and then try to keep those who are relatively strong as best as possible.
"Not just him, there are also a few strong men in other hidden villages, which should not be underestimated."
"Are you talking about that brat in Konoha named Uchiha Shisui who activated the three magatama at a young age and was very fast in the teleportation technique?" Mei Terumi asked.
Toneri glanced at her, "Do you think you are very old when you call someone a brat? But he is indeed an important competitor for the top spot in this Chunin Exam."
Hearing this, Terumi Mei's eyes widened, and she straightened out her rounded chest wrapped in tight clothes, "Am I not big enough?"
Sheren: "..."
This girl is really starting to do whatever she wants.
Toneri has absolute reason to believe that it was probably his inaction last time when she got soaked that made her start to become more confident.
Where does this leave his dignity as a man?
After thinking about it, Shiren turned his head and gently rubbed his nose to avoid embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, you're bigger, okay? You're the biggest."
Seeing the embarrassment on Toneri's face at this time, and the blush she had never seen before, Terumi Mei smiled in victory even though she was also blushing.
He even clenched his fists in a gesture of victory.
"Then do you think, Zabuza from our Kirigakure Village, Bubble, or Yuri Lin, the genius lightning escape ninja who has just become a user of Thunder Blade and Fang, have any chance of defeating him?"
Withdrew the topic again.
Shiren pretended to be in deep thought and said after a moment:
"I'm afraid it's difficult. The silent assassination technique that Zabuza is best at is difficult to work in front of the Sharingan, and the speed he is proud of is slightly inferior to Uchiha Shisui's teleportation technique.
Although Bubble is a Six-Tails Jinchuuriki, his control over the Six-Tails' power is still relatively weak and cannot produce very good results in actual combat. Moreover, as long as he has greater control over the Sharingan, he can also restrain it to a certain extent.
Tailed beast.
As for Lin Yuri, although he is known as a genius lightning escape ninja, whether he can attack the opponent depends on his actual combat ability and combat experience.
I heard that this Uchiha Shisui is the disciple of the current Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and is highly regarded by him."
Hearing this, Terumi Mei rolled her eyes at him, "You are trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige."
Toneri felt that he was almost immune to Terumi Mei's charming eye roll.
Shrugging, "I'm just telling the truth."
To be honest, in fact, in this Chunin Exam, there are not many genin in Konoha who can really do well, among which Uchiha Shisui is the best.
And a long time ago, Scheren told him that he must win the first place.
And Shisui is obviously not a person who will let him down.
If we really want to talk about variables, I am afraid that the blind Kawa-nin, who seems to be from Kawakakure Village but does not know his true ability, is the biggest variable in this chuunin exam.
Time passed quickly between Toneri and Terumi Mei's banter.
The Chunin Exams are gradually coming to an end.
At this time, every remaining ninja who was taking the Chunin Exam looked exhausted and had injuries more or less on their bodies.
At this stage, it is the first break of today's Chunin Exam.
The final battle should not end in such a state. Every genin who persisted until now should be allowed to recover enough physical strength to present a more exciting battle.
The reason why the leaders from the major hidden villages did not choose to leave now is because they want to help the genin of their hidden villages collect intelligence on their opponents.
Try to get a good result in the final battle in the next few days after this break.
Just when the entire audience on the viewing platform let out a long breath and prepared to leave without finishing their thoughts, something unexpected happened.
boom--
Far away from the arena at this time, a huge explosion occurred in the center of Konoha.
Immediately afterwards, there were roars one after another.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Toneri suddenly stood up, the chakra on his body spurted out, and the wooden escape wood made of his own chakra under his feet actually shattered directly due to this powerful chakra fluctuation.
Sharp eyes scanned the whole place, especially those in charge of the Great Hidden Village.
The expressions of all the people caught by Toneri's eyes changed, and they felt their whole bodies stiffen, the hairs on their bodies stood up, and thick sweat instantly secreted on their backs and foreheads.
This kind of intimidation is even more terrifying than the initial use of wooden escape to build this arena.
The people who are under the greatest pressure at this time are undoubtedly those who are around Toneri and are affected by the chakra wave that overwhelms him, such as Namikaze Minato, and the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa.
