Chapter 73 The Awareness of Death



Many times, strength is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat. There are too many accidental situations in battle. A single underestimation of the enemy and negligence put Doss in a very unfavorable situation.

If he had handled it well, he would have had a good chance of winning. Unfortunately, the injury affected Doss's performance. When the strength gap was not big, it was extremely fatal. Moreover, Haruno Sakura was the most troublesome medical ninja. If the sonic attack didn't work, he could only fall into a war of attrition and defeat the opponent by relying on his physical strength advantage. Unfortunately, the serious injury at the beginning made everything empty talk. If he continued, Doss himself would be the first to give up.

In the stands, beside Mizuki who was observing the battle situation, a burst of chakra smoke suddenly erupted, and the figures of Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi appeared.

"Why are you here? Aren't you here to look after the big shots up there?" Mizuki was not unfamiliar with these two people. With Asuma's experience as a guardian ninja and the fact that he was the son of the Hokage, it was perfect for him to deal with the big shots.

Asuma lit up a cigarette, took a long puff, and then said, "We are short of manpower here, let's take care of it first. Most of the nobles up there have their own guards, so there is no need to worry too much for now."

"Oh, I thought you were coming down to cheer Shikamaru on."

"No need. Shikamaru is a smart man. If he wants to win, he will find a way. The Chunin Exam is not difficult for him." Asuma has great confidence in Nara Shikamaru's strength. "But when did Haruno Sakura become so powerful? She completely suppressed Doss, who beat Choji without any chance to fight back. The strength of Kakashi's team is really good. They are so powerful even when they lead a Genin team for the first time. They made the other Jonins lose face."

"The method and timing of casting the illusion at the beginning were just right." As an illusion ninja, Yuhi Kurenai has a more delicate perception and a keener observation of details. "And what is that exciting chakra that wraps the whole body? It can actually flexibly resist the penetrating damage of sonic attacks?"

Chakra attaching to the whole body is not difficult for ninjas with excellent control, but the rare thing is the continuous supply of chakra and the flexible changes. Even a jonin can do it, but it is very difficult to be so flexible and exert combat power.

Seeing that Sakura was able to suppress Doss steadily, Mizuki was relieved. Sakura's success proved that his idea was feasible. In fact, Mizuki could come up with more than one or two ways to deal with Doss's sonic attack. This level of sonic attack is not worth mentioning in front of a real strong man, but many of the coping methods are not available to ordinary Genin.

With Sakura's foundation in learning, the only things she can use in the Chunin Exam are the Breath Concealing Technique and the Chakra Shield. Considering the characteristics of these two ninjutsu, Sakura can actually do quite a lot.

The Breathing Technique is a chakra source that spreads throughout the body, and the Chakra Shield is a chakra control technique combined with the Sealing Technique. The characteristics of the Breathing Technique make it possible for the unmarked ninjutsu, such as the Chakra Shield, to be used without the use of hands. It is not difficult for Sakura to make a temporary shield similar to Gaara's Sand Armor. Limited by the fact that both techniques were newly learned not long ago, the ability to protect is still very fragile. Moreover, Sakura's chakra properties are not as hard as Gaara's compacted sand, and perhaps a heavy punch can penetrate it.

However, it is perfect for dealing with this kind of wave attack. No matter how powerful the sound wave attack is, it is just an air vibration. It is a very troublesome countermeasure. Sakura cannot use it now with her ability. It is too simple to use the form change of water attribute chakra and the principle of noise reduction to greatly weaken the power of the sound wave attack. Vacuum noise reduction, porous noise reduction, resonance noise reduction and the like can be used to guide the chakra according to the direction of attack. The power of the sound penetration will pass through the chakra shield and hit the body, so it will not have much damage ability. As long as Sakura can react and adjust the chakra in time, Dos will not have any chance.

People without eyesight only think the fight is fierce, but people who can see clearly naturally know Sakura's strength. If nothing unexpected happens, victory is only a matter of time.

"Hey, that's not right. Doss is going to fight hard." Shuimu could naturally see the changes on the court clearly.

Slight changes always foreshadow changes in the situation. Doss, who kept attacking, seemed to be running out of energy and gradually fell into a defensive position.

"Luring the enemy deep into our territory, it seems we have to make a desperate attempt."

Sakura, who became more and more courageous as the battle went on, gradually pushed Doss into a desperate situation.

Finally, Doss, who seemed to be seriously injured, was no longer able to resist, and his left shoulder was directly pierced by the chakra scalpel. The bandaged wound opened again, and the injury was more serious than before.

"I won." Seeing this situation, Sakura said confidently.

"Win?" Doss smiled strangely, and suddenly stretched out his left hand, which seemed to be unable to move due to injury, and tightly grasped Xiaoying's right arm, "You can't run away this time."

Before he finished speaking, he swung his right fist, directly penetrating the layer of chakra defense on Sakura's body and hitting her in the stomach. He no longer relied on sonic attacks, but instead used a real hand-to-hand combat without any tricks. As the shield was broken, the ringing piercing came into play again. The force of this punch was so great that Doss's left hand could not hold back, and Sakura was directly knocked back.

Doss, who took the initiative for the first time in such a long time, refused to give up and quickly followed again, preparing to take advantage of Sakura's unstable footing before landing to deliver another heavy blow to completely secure the victory.

The sudden change caught Sakura off guard, but fortunately she did not panic. She used her left palm magic to quickly heal the wound on her abdomen. With a wave of her right hand, a chakra thread quickly formed in the palm of her hand and floated out, directly connecting to the branch of a large tree not far away. Then she pulled it hard, and took advantage of the momentum to fly sideways, avoiding the attack from Doss below. Then she fell heavily to the ground and slid several meters away.

The series of combined attacks just now had exhausted Doss's remaining strength, and for the time being he had no way to pursue forcefully.

The rapid changes on the field stunned the audience in the stands, especially the lukewarm battle, which suddenly became more intense and bloody, which seemed to ignite the enthusiasm of the audience and made the scene more lively.

Listening to the cheers from a bunch of ignorant people who didn't know what was going on, Mizuki watched Haruno Sakura, who had just suffered a great loss, struggling to get up.

"Alas, this is the last lesson that I, as a teacher, cannot teach you! If you pick up a weapon to fight, be prepared to be killed!"
