Using small rapid bursts to deal with super-fast physical ninjas is somewhat similar to the battle between Kaguya Kimimaro and Rock Lee in the mission to recover the defected Uchiha Sasuke in the original work. The difference is that the Corpse Vein becomes Byakugan plus Gentle Fist, and Rock Lee is replaced by the stronger Uchiha Sasuke.
Unlike Rock Lee, Sasuke is not only good at taijutsu, but also very good at ninjutsu. However, his ninjutsu is too weak to be effective against Neji. The characteristics of soft fists determine that they are the nemesis of chakra. There is no better way to disrupt chakra and interfere with the operation of ninjutsu than byakugan combined with soft fists.
Using a large-scale fire escape or Chidori thrust, the soft fist is still difficult to resist. The Chidori Senbon and Chidori Style with too dispersed power are difficult to hurt Neji. As for the Chidori Sharp Lance, it is too difficult to hit the opponent in front of the Byakugan's observation ability. The three-magatama Sharingan is not necessarily much stronger than the Byakugan.
From the current perspective, the competition is worthy of the first place. Sasuke running all over the field and the non-stop sound of lightning and thunder are indeed pleasing to the audience.
Neji's brilliant performance lived up to his reputation as a Hyuga genius. It was also quite rare that he did not reveal any flaws under Sasuke's sharp attack.
In Mizuki's opinion, the outcome of this game is actually not very important, because Konoha Village wins anyway. The problem is that different people may have different plans.
After witnessing the scene where Uzumaki Naruto used summoning techniques to fight the One-Tail Shukaku, as well as the ninja battles that were equally intense, Susanoo, Wood Release, Sage Mode and so on, all these legendary powers were displayed before his eyes, and Sasuke could no longer accept the fact that he had been defeated on a stage as big as the Chunin Exam.
After knowing the power of the real strong and understanding the gap in strength, Sasuke dispelled some unrealistic fantasies. But his thirst for power became stronger, and his tolerance for failure also decreased. It was natural that he was not as strong as Kakashi and Mizuki; although losing to some powerful Chunin would make him unhappy, it was not unacceptable. If he could not ensure the first place as a Genin, how could he expect to defeat the genius ninja who became famous at a young age, his brother Uchiha Itachi?
"It's unlikely that a winner will be determined in the short term."
The two were too close in strength and too cautious, so they rarely exposed any weaknesses.
In comparison, Sasuke undoubtedly has more cards up his sleeve, and his chances of winning will increase as time goes by.
During the game, the two losers in the top four, Haruno Sakura and Aburame Shino, were no longer seriously injured after treatment. After a short rest, they went to the stands to see who would win the final victory.
"Master, I disappoint you!"
Sakura felt a little ashamed. Although she was defeated, it was Sasuke who defeated her. So she was not too sad. It just seemed that her goal was still a long way off.
"Disappointment? You think too much! Only when you have hope will you feel disappointed."
"Huh?" Sakura was stunned.
Mizuki waved his hands and found it somewhat amusing. He really thought of himself as one of those old-fashioned people in the ninja world. If a disciple loses, it will bring shame to the master. Mizuki doesn't care about such things.
"I know your wish. If you haven't forgotten your original intention, you must work harder in the future. If you are not careful, Sasuke will completely leave you behind and you won't even be able to see your back!"
"I see."
Sakura was speechless. Indeed, Master Mizuki seldom cared about what his disciple was thinking. He just taught him ninjutsu and knowledge step by step and never interfered with his disciple's choice of path.
Shino Aburame standing by obviously knew Mizuki better than Sakura. After arriving, she just greeted everyone and didn't say anything more.
It’s not that Shino doesn’t care about winning or losing, it’s just that he lacks the strength. He won’t complain about the defeat, and Mizuki really appreciates this kind of excellent quality.
At this moment, a chakra wave came along with Shuimu's perception, and a moment later, a familiar figure appeared in front of Shuimu.
"Why are you here?"
Mizuki was a little surprised that Xiaochun came here alone. If he hadn't sensed the chakra of his clone not far away, Mizuki would have suspected that something big had happened.
"I'll bring you some food!"
As Xiaochun spoke, he took out the small bamboo basket in his hand and removed the napkin covering it, revealing a basket full of dim sum and some appetite-stimulating assorted sushi.
"Why not just ask your clone to bring it over? There's no need to come in person. There are too many strangers here. It's not safe!"
Although I have been pregnant for nearly four months and have passed the initial dangerous period, it would be nice to go out more often, but it seems not very convenient at this time.
Xiao Chun smiled and said, "It's a bit boring to stay at home all the time. I want to go out and get some fresh air!"
Mizuki took a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he swallowed it and a feeling of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
"I haven't eaten for most of the day. I'm really starving."
He didn't even drink a sip of water and did some exercise. He almost had a fight with Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame. If he hadn't been unable to leave, he would have wanted to go back and rest.
"Come over and eat something, you must be hungry too."
The four Genin around him not only hadn't eaten yet, but the intense battle had also consumed a lot of their energy.
"Then I'll be welcome."
Inuzuka Kiba not only ate it himself, but also brought a piece for Akamaru. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.
After exchanging some polite words, Shino, Hinata, and Sakura also picked up some food and started eating, slowly replenishing their energy.
"Xiaochun, please sit down and watch the game first!"
Shuimu took the bamboo basket which still contained a lot of food, and then settled Xiaochun down.
"You came at the right time. The last and most exciting one. It's been many years since we've seen such a powerful Genin taking part in the Chunin Exam at the same time."
Although he was still a little worried, Xiaochun was a ninja after all, and he didn't need to be as cautious as ordinary people.
Shuimu was paying attention to the movements around him while observing the game below, and from time to time he put food in the bamboo basket into his mouth.
Suddenly, a wave of inspiration came to Shuimu's mind. He seemed to know what to write, but was a little confused.
He looked down at the small bamboo basket in his hand and saw that the food that had been neatly arranged had become a little messy.
"Shino, can you use the Parasite now?"
“Not yet!”
Mizuki had already asked this question during the last S-rank mission to protect Gaara.
"This technique consumes too much chakra and is difficult to control!"
Although he didn't know why Mizuki was concerned about this family secret again, Shino still answered Mizuki's question.
