"Old man, you've really got a clever plan!"
Looking at the match list that appeared, Lin Nian also sensed something.
Naruto Uzumaki, who possesses the most chakra, was able to kill a powerful enemy, the Red Copper Armor, who posed a significant threat to both genin and chunin. Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, who was also a member of the Uchiha clan, was forced to remove a sinister creature capable of using sonic genjutsu.
It's highly likely that Lin Nian's second opponent will be a certain little panda, right? After all, compared to the other tailed beasts, the other Kage aren't really afraid of the One-Tailed Beast, and Hiruzen Sarutobi also has plenty of confidence in Wood Release.
Time passed in a daze of daydreaming. When he turned his attention back to the battlefield, Nara Shikamaru had left a very deep impression on a princess from Sunagakure before forfeiting the match, citing insufficient chakra.
"Nobody would believe that the three tribes of pig, deer, and butterfly haven't expanded their markets outside the village."
Seeing that they would get married and be a harmonious and happy couple in the eyes of normal people, Lin Nian was very suspicious that if they were to actually get married, it must be because the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had exchanged enough benefits with Sunagakure.
The subsequent battles were even more baffling.
Neji Hyuga VS Kankuro.
Using a wallhack to fight a puppeteer, and having a wallhack that makes you good at both ranged and melee combat, how could you possibly lose in this situation?
A few chakra arrows were fired from a distance to harass him, and after getting close, a few Gentle Fists almost shattered Kankuro's puppet. Even Kankuro, who was secretly hiding in the puppet box, was shocked and spat out a mouthful of blood, and finally admitted defeat in a sorry state.
Misumi Kenjiro vs. Ino Yamanaka.
Looking at the new match schedule, Lin Nian knew that the current genin didn't really have much killing power. When he sent his girlfriend off the field, he directly added a layer of mental suggestion to Yamanaka Ino during their contact.
Then, after the start of the match, during a probing attack using the Mind-Body Confusion Technique, Kenmei, a contestant who had undergone software modifications and was almost immune to most physical damage, lost consciousness under the control of Mind-Body Confusion and mental suggestion, and walked off the stage alone.
Time flies by, and perhaps the previous contestants set the tone for the upcoming competition, allowing the subsequent contestants to compete as quickly as possible.
The battle ended in an instant, prompting a chorus of discontent from the nobles. After all, they had come to watch a good show, and now that the show was over, how could they be content?
Perhaps hearing their complaints, after Tenten and Shino Aburame fought for a while and Tenten conceded defeat, the subsequent battles finally became a bit more intense.
Kiba Inuzuka vs. Kin.Tsuchi.
Originally, Kin was supposed to face off against Nara Shikamaru, but in the end, he ended up facing the pitiful Kiba.
Through six years of love-hate relationship with Naruto Uzumaki, he developed a highly acute intuition for the Shadow Clone Technique.
In their first encounter, Jin suffered a great loss.
Faced with the incredibly smooth and fluid sonic genjutsu of the Sound Village, Kiba Inuzuka, whose temper was already volatile, was still put on the defensive even with Akamaru's reminder.
After repeatedly missing his target by a hair's breadth and pulling out handfuls of books from his body several times, Ya, already weakened by excessive blood loss and repeated mental disturbances, no longer held back.
After exposing an opening and paying the price of being essentially riddled with thorns, his keen intuition allowed him to seize Jin Zhen's tooth, and within the final time limit of his human-beast form, he delivered a desperate blow.
Although Kiba Inuzuka's fiery temper, lack of ranged ninjutsu, and unfamiliarity with his clan's ninjutsu meant that from beginning to end, the battle was basically a series of trades, even risking his life, until he was covered in senbon needles and collapsed from exhaustion.
Jin, who was on edge due to his previous minor losses, was transformed into his ninja beast form the moment he relaxed. Kiba, covered in blood, was severely injured by Kiba's Fang Over Fang, resulting in a draw and both being eliminated.
The extreme visual impact of the bloody and cruel scene caused the nobles and merchants to erupt in thunderous cheers from their seats, and it also strengthened Lin Nian and Uchiha Sasuke's determination to eliminate them.
Lin Nian watched the arena with a cold eye until the next round's opponents were announced. Knowing that he would be fighting a guy named Zac, he didn't think much of it. Lin Nian, who was also angry, jumped down. As for who would deal with Gaara, who should still be called a beast at this moment, after he was gone?
Do you really think Wood Release can't be used for remote casting?
And at worst, he can just unleash his own super-powerful punch later. After all, Orochimaru is already here. If Hiruzen Sarutobi really pushes him too far, he can take matters into his own hands. Anyway, the scapegoat has already been found.
The moment the Seal of Opposition was lowered, the incredibly proud Sak immediately launched a relentless attack with his signature Sky-Slicing Wave. In addition, the sonic waves, infused with a hint of Yin Release, continuously attempted to shake Lin Nian's will.
But what awaited him was only a fist that appeared in the instant before his death.
"You are not worthy of pride in front of me."
Before his death, only these faint words reached his ears, and after that? In any case, he was a chosen reanimated body, destined to die! He was just sending him on his way early, since Orochimaru had quite a few subordinates anyway.
In this world where everyone is trying to be the worst, even someone who isn't too bad can't save everyone.
After Lin Nian swiftly and decisively resolved the battle, the final showdown before his departure, Gaara vs. Rock Lee, an epic battle between a commoner ninja and a tailed beast jinchūriki, officially began.
"How ironic! You old man, you rely on commoner ninjas to restrain the ninja clans, yet you are the one who cares least about the lives of commoner ninjas. Is it because the Daimyo of the Land of Fire hasn't arrived yet that you don't intend to make me take action?"
Having asked herself this question and made ample preparations, Lin Nian awaited the blooming of the lotus flower.
Along with him were Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who were also prepared.
Meanwhile, Neji Hyuga, who had no idea about the future but vaguely sensed something about his best friend Rock Lee, secretly hid in a certain place to assemble the bow he had nurtured for several years and an arrow strong enough to withstand his violent chakra, all in order to prevent Rock Lee from actually getting into trouble.
All that's left is to wait for the moment when this arrow is released.
