Chapter 153 The Game Begins
Many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen came to Konoha Village on ox carts.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire declined the invitation, citing illness as an excuse, but his three magistrates and family elders were all present.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the first match was between Ino and Temari. She couldn't be late, so she arrived at the stadium early and made final preparations.
The referee of the previous preliminaries, Gekkou Hayate, was admitted to the hospital, so the referee of the formal exam was replaced by another special jonin, Genma Shiranui, who once served as the bodyguard of the Fourth Hokage.
This special jonin is also a ninja from the same generation as Kakashi and Asuma. Compared with the brilliance of the genius Kakashi of the same period, these people seemed very ordinary back then. Now, more than ten years have passed, and each of them has accumulated strength and steadily improved their strength, and has become the backbone of the village.
Ino and Shiranui Genma were not familiar with each other and had never spoken to each other before. The game was about to begin, and there was no chance for idle chat. She ignored the noise outside the stadium and stood quietly aside waiting.
The Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage appeared in the stands at the same time. Then, before the gate of the stadium was about to close, Naruto was chased by a group of bulls from afar, and a strong bull even hit his butt hard.
Naruto was seen covering his butt and flying more than ten meters away. He then landed in a parabola, face down, and relied on inertia to plow a groove on the ground. He came in front of many contestants in a very embarrassed manner. Sasuke felt that this teammate was really embarrassing. He tilted his head to the other side and pretended not to know him. In the end, Shikamaru helped him up.
Genma Shiranui looked towards the platform and the Third Hokage nodded slightly to him, indicating that they could begin.
He stood in the center of the field, with Ino to his left and Temari to his right.
The opening scene is a contest between two blonde female ninjas.
You said this match was arranged randomly? No one believed it.
The fact that Ino was Tsunade's apprentice was gradually no longer a secret. As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Tsunade already had the title of Konoha Princess. Now, if we round it up, Ino could barely be considered the Princess of Konoha.
Due to some deliberate propaganda, the first match became a battle between the Princess of Konoha and the Princess of Sand Village.
Ino's belly-baring outfit made her look quite charming, and her exposed skin was as white as porcelain in the sun, dazzlingly white. She also changed her original flat-soled, childish high-top open-toed sandals and put on the same black thick-heeled high-heeled shoes as Tsunade and Shizune.
Temari is three years older than her, with a graceful figure, exotic eyes and eyebrows, and also has outstanding beauty.
The two of them just looked at each other and saw the vague hostility.
People of the same sex repel each other, and the hostility between them is even more obvious because the two are very similar in many aspects such as hair color, personality, appearance, figure, and background.
After Tenten shouted, "Ino, help me defeat that strongman," the hostility between the two sides reached its peak.
"Hmph, wild boar in the mountains, I've killed quite a few wild boars this month. These creatures are so rude! All they do is roll around in the mud and then rub themselves against the trees with resin. I wonder if your defense is as strong as a wild boar's?" Temari's opening remarks were extremely unkind.
Ino immediately retorted: "Old woman from the Sand Village, no one in your village wants you, right? You are so pitiful. You have no advantages at all. Ah, no, look at my mouth. I can't talk. In fact, you still have an advantage. You are strong!"
As she spoke, she raised her middle finger, made a gesture that was not seen here, and shook it twice. Temari actually understood it! Shiranui Genma felt the strong smell of gunpowder between them, subconsciously took two steps back, and whispered: "The first match begins!"
"I'm going to rip your mouth apart!"
As soon as Shiranui Genma finished speaking, Temari opened her huge ninja fan, and she looked at Ino with a very unfriendly look. Before the game, Kankuro asked her to give up the game, maybe just deal with it for a few times and it would be over. We are here to destroy Konoha, not to be promoted to Chunin, so why take it so seriously? The real thing is to save chakra for the next big battle, Temari directly refused!
The words of the "strong man" were still echoing in her ears. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She had been holding this anger in for a month, and Ino's provocative gesture aroused it again. As soon as Shiranui Genma announced the start of the competition, she exerted force with both arms and rushed forward swinging a fan.
Strongman is strongman, I admit it, I will kill you with a fan now! The first move is the extremely powerful B-level wind ninjutsu "Great Scythe Itachi"! As the ninja fan was swung vigorously, several chakra wind blades flew out in all directions, two of which had a low attack angle, and in an instant, they plowed deep trenches on the ground.
After being taught by Tsunade, Ino has abandoned her fighting style of creating two shadow clones and then throwing ninjutsu madly.
Her current tactic is to observe, test, collect intelligence on the enemy first, and then strike back.
This is the standard ninja response.
As soon as Temari swung her ninja fan, she roughly guessed the opponent's moves.
As soon as the wind blade flew out, she stomped her right foot on the ground, turned her body half a circle to avoid the wind blade, and with her left hand, following the force of her rotating body, threw a kunai with an explosive tag.
Temari held up her ninja fan to block the detonating tag, then did a backflip, using the ninja fan's floating properties and the smoke from the detonating tag as cover, and rushed to Ino's side at an extremely fast speed, ready to launch a physical attack.
"Just you? You're too slow!" Ino gathered the chakra in her feet, raised her left leg high, and smashed it hard to the side like a battle axe.
"Paintenkyuu!" The huge impact force created a large hole covered with spider-web-like cracks on the ground. Temari's plan to launch a surprise attack by moving at high speed failed, and she was slightly injured by the aftermath.
The Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage in the stands both nodded slightly. This move looked familiar.
"Super Power Fist!" Ino attacked like a tide. Temari's physical skills were similar to hers. She was not as fast as her, but her strength was higher. Tsunade's Super Power Fist could concentrate the chakra at one point. This move narrowed the power gap between the two sides.
You say I'm a wild boar? I'll show you how wild I am!
Every punch and kick has great destructive power. Temari is also desperate. If she doesn't want to marry, then she won't marry! I was born with supernatural power, but I can't beat you?
In the blink of an eye, the two female ninjas exchanged more than ten extremely violent moves.
Ino enjoyed the fight, but she also admitted that Temari was much stronger than her. She could only deal with a few moves using the Super Power Punch and the Painful Kick, but it would be troublesome if it lasted for a long time. This was just a warm-up match, and she didn't want to waste too much time.
"Forget it, I already know your background completely. I can deal with you within three moves!" she said arrogantly.
Afterwards, he formed the "Earth Escape. Earth Submersible" seal and drilled into the ground.
