Chapter 64 The First Round Ends
But after discussing it for a long time, there was no result. After all, they didn't even know what kind of poison the scorpion used, so how could they break it? And who said that it only had this one kind?
In the end, they could only come up with a stupid solution, which was to take precautions against the scorpion's secret technique of poisoning in advance and end the battle with it as quickly as possible without delay.
Because the longer the time, the greater the Scorpio's advantage.
As for the secret technique of guarding against scorpion poisoning, it is relatively simple. Although this is a secret technique, it has actually appeared on the battlefield a long time ago, so each village basically has a way to deal with it.
The rest time always passes quickly, and soon the second half begins.
Next it was Lu Ming's turn to appear, and his opponent was Sumire Kusunoki of the Sand Village Scorpion Team.
It has to be said that history is always full of amazing coincidences. Decades later, Shikamaru also encountered a female ninja from Sand Village during the Chunin Exam, and Shikamaru's son also encountered a female ninja from Sand Village during the Chunin Exam.
"A fateful relationship that spans time and space~" Thinking of this, Shiro shook his head and said in a low voice.
"What bad fate? What are you talking about?" Although he didn't hear clearly, Lu Ming always felt that Silang had no good intentions.
"Nothing, you'll know later."
"It's so annoying. I'm going in first."
"come on!"
Facts have proven once again that the people of the Nara family are indeed lazy. Shiro and the others have already arrived at the audience seats, and Lu Ming has just walked out of the entrance.
“This guy is hopeless.”
"Oh, never mind. It's good enough that he didn't give up." Nakamura sighed and said to Shiro.
".Too."
Not to mention Shiro and the others' complaints about Lu Ming, over here, Nanmu Jin was already getting a little impatient waiting.
Seeing Lu Ming walking over slowly, and seeing that he didn't take the competition seriously at all, he said angrily: "You guy, why would Konoha send a guy like you to take the exam? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
Lu Ming ignored her and turned his head to the referee: "Can we start?"
"Okay, make the seal of opposition." After seeing the two people complete the seal, "The game begins."
"Hmph, you arrogant guy, prepare to face your failure!" After saying that, Nanmu Jin first quickly retreated, then took out a puppet from the scroll.
"Uh, this is probably what Shirou meant by chuunibyou, right? But since you're ready, I'm going to take action too."
"Humph, no matter how much you pretend to be a gentleman, it won't prevent your defeat!"
"Then let's try it."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming became entangled with Nanmu Jin's puppet. He rushed close to her several times but was forced back. In this way, the battle gradually became stalemate.
"This is going to be very disadvantageous to Lu Ming. The opponent's consumption is much smaller than Lu Ming's. If this continues, Lu Ming will lose."
"It's okay, Brother Minato, Lu Ming is very smart, he should have his own plans. Besides, maybe losing is not a bad thing?" At the end, Shiro smiled.
"What's the meaning?"
"Minato, don't worry about him. This kid is always like this, intermittently going crazy. I see you know Shirou quite well, how come you don't even know his personality?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Captain, don't say anything nonsense. What's wrong with my personality?"
"Well, now it seems Shiro is indeed a little different from the one I know. Is it because of Kushina?"
"Bakkanen! You're delusional! Besides, why discuss me? Lu Ming would cry if he knew."
Minato and the others shook their heads and turned their attention back to the field.
While Shiro and the others were chatting, Lu Ming had launched several attacks, but unfortunately, none of them worked.
At this moment, Lu Ming discovered a flaw and attacked without hesitation.
"Shadow Binding!"
Lu Ming's shadow rushed straight towards Nanmu Jin. Seeing this, Nanmu Jin jumped back to avoid it, and at the same time, she said, "Humph, the Nara clan is nothing but this. You lose!"
It turns out that Nanmu Jin deliberately leaked the flaw to Lu Ming in order to lure him into the trap. However, is it really that simple?
"Really? Would you mind looking around you? I'm checkmate."
"Oh, what is this! This is!"
Upon hearing this, Nanmu Jin first glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and then, as if she had seen something incredible, she opened her eyes wide and looked around in shock.
It turned out that the target of Lu Ming's shadow binding technique was not Nanmu Jin at all, but the detonating talisman that Lu Ming had placed during the previous battle!
At this time, Nanmu Jin was surrounded by a large net formed by Lu Ming's shadow, and explosive talismans were spread all over the nodes of the net. At this time, Lu Ming could kill Nanmu Jin with just a thought!
There was silence in the stands at this time. They didn't understand how Lu Ming, who was clearly at a disadvantage just now, could turn the tables in the blink of an eye?
It wasn't that no one in the stands noticed Lu Ming's placement of the detonating talismans, but there was no pattern to his placement, giving people the impression that he was just taking a chance.
No one knew he was playing such a big game.
At this time, the referee came to the field. After all, the winner was already obvious.
"The winner is Nara Shikaaki from Konoha Village."
Only then did the audience realize what was happening and cheer.
Lu Ming had put away the shadow binding spell when the referee arrived, and also retrieved the detonating talisman.
Then, after the referee announced the result, Lu Ming walked towards Nanmu Jin amid cheers, stretched out his hand, and made a seal of reconciliation with her.
Afterwards, Nanmu Jin shook her golden hair, put away the puppet and walked out of the field.
Lu Ming didn't care about her attitude and turned to leave. After all, the conflict between the two villages was still quite big. The reason why the Kazekage held this Chunin Exam was because the situation in the Sand Village was already very bad, and it urgently needed to cooperate with other villages to alleviate the crisis in the village.
Even so, it came at a great cost.
Therefore, there is no need for the two parties to get to know each other, as they might be enemies the next time they meet.
The following game was nothing interesting and there was nothing to see, so when Lu Ming walked out of the passage, Shi Lang and the others were already waiting at the entrance.
After seeing Lu Ming come out, Shi Lang patted Lu Ming's shoulder with a heavy face and said, "You won, but you also lost."
“???” Lu Ming looked at Shi Lang in confusion.
"Ignore him, he's just acting crazy."
"Oh, I see." After hearing what Nakamura said, Lu Ming understood.
After making a fuss for a while, Shiro and the others went back. Although there were still games to come, there was nothing interesting to watch anymore. The gap was too big and nothing could be seen.
And if nothing unexpected happens, only the match between Taki and Kusanagi will be fought, and one of the others will give up. After all, the gap is too big, and they can't win anyway, so they might as well do a favor.
Therefore, Shiro and the others did not waste time here. After all, the other contestants would probably not continue watching and were probably also thinking about how to deal with them.
Shiro and the others don't want to fall behind in this regard.
When the results came out in the evening, it turned out that Shiro and the others had guessed correctly. The opponents of the four people from Sunagakure and Iwagakure all gave up, and only the two rookies, Takishinobi and Kusashinobi, were fighting each other.
In the end, those who advanced to the next round included Shiro, Minato, Rasa, Koto, Sasori, Watanabe Asahi, Taichi, Shikaaki, Mibu Sukezane, Yanagihara Masamune, Captain Takinin, Midnight Omiichiro, Ogasawara, and the extras from Yunin who had a bye.
