Escape From Konoha

Seeing this scene in front of them, not only Hinata who was fighting on the stage was visually stimulated, but everyone on the observation deck was also stunned.

Is this kind of shape that can't be distinguished as a human or a monster, is it also a kind of ninjutsu?

Everyone is thinking about this problem.

No matter how you look at it, the moves used by this maiden costume girl are too incredible.

"Animal-like Ninja Technique?"

Kiba was quite aware of this, and he thought that among the Inuzuka clan, there was a secret technique in which a human turned into a giant wolf dog, and merged with his own ninja dog to attack.

In his opinion, the opponent Hinata faced seemed to be in the same situation.

"No, it's not just the imitation animal ninja. From that situation, it seems more like being parasitized by something."

Shino pushed his sunglasses and started from another angle.

This is like the insect manipulating technique of the Younv clan, which parasitizes the insects in one's own body, and can summon the insects to fight when necessary.

However, from a parasitic point of view, the other party's body seems to be fused with the creatures inside it... It is more like the fusion of the secret arts of the Aburame clan and the Inuzuka clan.

It can not only parasitize, but also fuse with the contracted creatures in the body to enhance its own fighting ability.

"Hinata's situation is a bit dangerous now."

Shino sighed.

His worm told him that Hinata's opponent had become very dangerous at this moment.

That ominous dark aura, no matter how you look at the parasitic creatures, they don't look like benevolent creatures, but more like monsters and other creatures.

After all, in the Kingdom of Demons, the most common ones are the legends about shrine maidens, followed by various secrets about monsters.

In ancient times, witches in this country killed countless evil spirits and sealed them away. The various stories left behind are still popular in the country today.

"What, that's disgusting. Kakashi-sensei, is that considered a ninjutsu?"

Naruto asked, pointing to the miko below.

"Strictly speaking, it should be the witchcraft used by shrine maidens. It is said that it is different from the ninja system, but it is also a system of spells developed based on chakra. Just like the monks in some areas, they can also use the talents of immortals The magic of control.”

Kakashi said in an uncertain tone.

He has seen magic before, but witchcraft is a magic system unique to the Kingdom of Ghosts. He has never fought a witch with witchcraft in the past, so he is not too sure about it and can only make vague guesses.

"It's really interesting to see an existence that even the Sharingan can't see through."

Sasuke became very excited. It seemed that there were still many strong guys in this Chunin Exam.

On the stage, Hinata stared vigilantly at the dark tentacles around the body of the miko Kirie, secreting mucus from the suckers. Not only that, a thin black mist shrouded the area, blocking the sunlight from reaching it. in.

Seeing that Hinata didn't seem to be planning to attack, Wuzhi thought for a moment, raised his arm, and pointed at Hinata from a distance.

The tentacles extending from the lower skirt and long sleeves immediately became restless, and the whistling sound that broke through the air was like a black tide rushing towards Hinata.

Seeing the large number of tentacles coming in like a tidal wave, Hinata gritted her teeth and rotated her body with her footsteps and waist. Her soft fists, which were originally gentle, quickly swung out at lightning speed, constantly beating these tentacles. Tentacles coming.

The slime was splashing, and the tentacles were dancing around and attacking tirelessly. Seeing Hinata, it was like seeing an extremely delicious cake, so manic and excited.

As she turned her body and punched softly, Hinata's hair also swayed.

It wasn't long before Hinata began to pant slightly after such a vigorously consuming attack.

But Hinata had no way to get rid of the entanglement of these tentacles, so she could only keep defending and repel the tentacles that attacked again and again.

Chakra...is absorbed! Hinata discovered a more serious problem than physical exhaustion.

That is, not only is her physical strength rapidly decreasing at this time, but the chakra in her body is also rapidly decreasing as her palms come into contact with the tentacles again and again.

And the direction of the flow is exactly those tentacles.

Thinking of the tentacles that originally wrapped around her wrists and sucked the chakra from her body, Hinata felt a haze in her heart.

"It's strange, Neji, why doesn't that member of your race use acupuncture? If you use acupuncture, you can quickly fight back."

Xiao Li on the observation deck said this.

He has countless battle experience with Neji, and he knows the horror of the soft fist of the Hyuga clan.

Not only can it directly destroy the internal organs of the human body, but it can also block the flow of the enemy's chakra through acupuncture.

It can be said that as long as you are hit by a soft fist, you will not only face the risk of internal organs being attacked, but in the gradual battle process, chakra will gradually fall into a state where it cannot circulate. At that time, no matter whether it is body art, ninjutsu, or illusion, it cannot be used.

Although the attack strength and speed of the tentacle are very powerful, it is still tireless after such a long time, the attack strength has not decreased, and it does not look like it has been tapped.

Ning Ci shook his head and said, "No, those tentacles are not flesh and blood creatures at all, and Master Hinata's acupuncture points are useless to them."

"What?"

Xiao Li was surprised.

"Literally, those tentacles are different from the creatures we are familiar with, and more like some kind of chakra aggregate."

The soft fist can cut off the meridians of the human body and interrupt the circulation of chakra. But facing this kind of pure chakra aggregate creature, there is absolutely no way.

In this situation, Neji knew that even if he was on the field, it would take some trouble to defeat such a monster, and he would not be able to escape unscathed.

The reason why Hinata fell into passivity was because her soft fist attack was too light, and her use of Kaiten was also very jerky, with incoherent movements.

Otherwise, at least when defending, you can carry out appropriate counterattacks so that you will not be suppressed by the monster throughout the process.

"She didn't use that kind of witchcraft to manipulate water flow. Does she disdain to use it, or is she unable to use it?"

Temari watched the battle carefully, her eyes uncertain.

Although this kind of move that is fused with monsters is very powerful, compared to the kind of witchcraft that manipulates water flow, the power and speed of the attack have obviously declined.

After all, water flow witchcraft can easily cut the ground, and can also squeeze water into the enemy's body to attack from the inside.

Just a scratch can cause fatal injuries.

"Kankuro, what do you think?"

Temari looked at Kankuro.

Kankuro spread his hands helplessly and said: "Please, I have never fought with her, how do I know what she is thinking? But the more powerful the move, the more certain restrictions there are, probably for this reason."

Temari frowned, she always felt that something was not quite right.

Because the attack power and speed of this tentacle monster were far inferior to the previous water flow witchcraft, but it gave her the feeling that it was far more dangerous than the water flow witchcraft.

It was as if he was born to be unable to deal with this kind of monster.

Maybe he encountered a so-called natural enemy?

Temari shook her head.

Natural enemies and the like really don’t stand up to scrutiny.

She and this monster are not animals in nature, so there is no such thing as natural enemies or not.

This must be an illusion.

In any case, the witches of this ghost country are formidable enemies.

At this moment, there were obvious changes in the venue.

With Hinata's face covered in cold sweat and panting posture, the state of the tentacles has remained in its heyday without any weakening.

Seemingly realizing that the opportunity was almost over, a large number of tentacles rushed up like a black tide again, Hinata paled and began to punch softly.

"Thirty-two Bagua Palms!"

He swung out with sharp and swift palm strikes, and although the incoming tentacles were repulsed, they returned even more excitedly, and despite Hinata's attack, he did not retreat even an inch.

My attacks were ineffective, could it be that... Looking at the tentacles that had been attacked countless times by her soft fists, but still uninjured, Hinata also noticed a strange fact.

That was his own attack, which might have been nullified by the tentacles.

Physical immunity?

Hinata was thinking about this matter. The tentacles that wrapped around her again no longer attacked as before. Instead, the suction cups on the tentacles began to shrink and expand. Balls of black mist spewed out from the suction cups at lightning speed. It completely surrounded the stage, forming a dark barrier.

"This is going to be difficult."

Onigashima Ninja, who was also standing on the stage, scratched his head in distress when he saw himself being excluded by the black mist barrier.

He, who was supposed to be enveloped by the black mist barrier, was suddenly excluded... It felt like he was rejected by the black mist.

"Has the eating ritual begun?"

Shiraishi, who was sitting in the audience, saw this scene and knew something.

"Eating ritual?"

Ayane tilted her head.

Although she knew about the existence of combat witches, she rarely dealt with such witches.

I don’t know much about the so-called divine art. I only know that it is a summoning ritual that is very similar to necromancy.

"It is a special contract between a witch and a monster. Although a witch can gain the power of a monster through a divine ritual, in many cases, the relationship between them is equal. The monster fights for the witch, but When the time comes, the miko must also consider the obsession of the monster itself. Otherwise, the power of the monster may come back to bite the miko."

Shiraishi explained.

Shiraishi, who was once almost invited to become a miko by Maitreya Miko, still knows this type of knowledge quite clearly.

Miko is not only good at slaying monsters, she also has a mature and complete training method on how to manipulate monsters, and knows how to meet the needs of monsters.

The monsters born from the various desires of the human heart, combined with chakra, have very different abilities, personalities, and degrees of friendliness and hostility towards humans.

Witches exorcise demons and only kill monsters that are harmful to humans.

On the contrary, they will choose to turn a blind eye to those monsters that are harmless to humans and rarely interact with humans.

According to different monsters, different obsessions and needs, the ways to meet the monsters' needs are also strange and do not stick to conventional forms.

"Then this situation is..."

"Absorb the enemy's chakra and retain it. This is the source of the eating ritual. When the stored chakra reaches a certain limit, a further 'exorcism' ritual will be performed to return the absorbed chakra to the enemy. Miko. By the way, the monster used by Wu Zhi at this time is a bit special. This monster is said to be able to ignore the attacks of women. And the target of hunting is also women. "

"?"

Ayane and Liuli looked at Shiraishi, with a big question mark on their faces.

Ignoring female attacks? Hunting women?

"Monsters are the embodiment of human obsession..."

Shiraishi coughed and explained.

In other words, since it is the obsession of the human heart, then the demand for that aspect and the monsters born from it also exist.

"Well, I want to ask, how did the witches subdue this monster in the first place?"

Ayane hesitated for a moment and then asked.

How can the witches defeat such a monster that is ineffective against women and targets women for hunting?

"It's not surrender, but this monster came to the door on its own initiative, wanting to make a contract with the miko and fight for the miko. However, the main miko at the time refused and gave it to the other branch mikos. This monster has always been under the control of the miko. Their worship continues to this day.”

"..."

Liuli and Ayane nodded slightly. It seemed that it was not they who had a problem, but the monster itself.

From this point of view, the 'exorcism' ritual of transferring chakra to the miko after the eating ritual is probably not a serious ritual.

The black mist barrier created by the eating ritual lasted less than three minutes before disappearing.

Let everyone staring at the stage stare subconsciously.

Previously, the black mist barrier covered the stage, preventing them from knowing the fighting situation inside.

Even the Byakugan lost its function of perspective in front of the black mist barrier, and could only see endless darkness and nothingness, as if everything 'inside' and 'outside' were cut off.

If it is forcibly opened from the outside, it may require an extremely powerful attack to destroy it. Otherwise, you can only wait for the black mist barrier to disappear by itself.

"It seems the outcome has been decided."

Seeing the scene on the stage, everyone acquiesced to this result, and even Naruto calmed down.

On the stage, only Wu Zhi was still standing.

All the dark tentacles around her disappeared, and her face returned to calm. She stood there calmly, as if the monster before had never appeared, leaving no trace.

Not far away from her, Hinata's thin figure fell to the ground.

There were no signs of injury on his body, but he seemed to have suddenly lost consciousness and fell asleep.

However, there is some transparent mucus on the white and clean face and clothes, which reflects a silky luster under the sunlight.

Onijima Shinobu came up to check and found that Hinata had really lost consciousness and could no longer continue fighting, so he announced the result of the battle.

After hearing the verdict, Wuzhi walked slowly back to the observation deck without saying a word.

I don't know if I read it wrong, but Onijima felt that Wuzhi's walking speed seemed to be slower than when he came here. Nothing can be seen from the calm face on his face, but his breathing seems to be more rapid.

"This guy is so powerful, Hinata actually failed. So, after watching the battle just now, I suddenly want to eat takoyaki."

Naruto watched Wuzhi come up, folded his hands on his chest, and thought about it seriously.

"Wuzhi, don't you need to go back immediately for the second stage of the ceremony?"

Haruka Hanami, a medical ninja from the same team, asked.

As a girl, she naturally knows something about Wuzhi. The first stage is eating, and the second stage is when the monster cooperates with the witch to "exorcise evil" and transfer the power of the monster into the witch's body. The witch and the monster need to reach a state of spiritual unity, and there must be no barriers, otherwise rejection reactions will occur.

"No, it's still a little short of saturation."

Wu Zhi turned around.

"Then I'll help you. If there's time, you should be able to complete the second stage of the ceremony before the official game. After all, that process takes several days."

Hua Jianyao blushed slightly, thinking of what might happen in the future, her legs began to weaken uncontrollably.

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

The monster in her body is also very satisfied with Hanami Haruka's Chakra.

Rather, as long as it is a chakra of a young woman, she will be satisfied.

In this way, during the official match, her strength will rise to a higher level for a short time, and she will be able to win the match without any chance of failure.

The fourth round of the battle is over, and it's the fifth round.

Ghost Light Suigetsu (Fog) VS Uchiha Sasuke (Konoha)

"Hmph, is it finally my turn to play? Just in time, the water has been replenished."

Shuiyue put down the straw and water bottle in her hand, looking eager to try.

"Be careful, don't be careless, the opponent is Sharingan."

Zabuzhan glanced at Shuiyue and warned him.

He knew that before the battle even started, Shuiyue was underestimating the enemy.

Unlike her elder brother Ghost Lantern Full Moon, Shui Yue still lacks decent training.

It is probably because among the younger generation of Wuyin Village, there are not many ninjas who can fight against each other, so they have developed such an unscrupulous character.

"Understood, I just need to pay attention to the illusion."

Shuiyue giggled, took a provocative look at Sasuke, and then walked to the stage below.

"Sasuke, come on."

Sakura encouraged Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded and looked towards Naruto.

Naruto snorted lightly and turned away.

"I won't cheer you up, but if you lose to this kind of guy, I will laugh at you."

"Then I'll win this game."

Sasuke walked away simply.

The chief freshman of this class? Just let me see your strength, Uchiha Sasuke. Neji looked at Sasuke's walking back and said silently in his heart.

Like Sasuke, he also graduated from the ninja school as the top student in the previous class.

Therefore, he paid special attention to Sasuke.

"Are you Uchiha Sasuke? I have admired your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to fight you once."

Suigetsu said with a smile when he saw Sasuke coming down and standing opposite him.

"Yeah?"

Sasuke replied calmly.

"Your attitude is really arrogant, but don't worry, I am a very kind person. I will beat you up and throw you away later. I won't let you lose your life."

Suigetsu was not annoyed by Sasuke's cold attitude, but instead smiled, as if he was determined that he could win the competition.

"That guy Suigetsu has started again. But his opponent is Uchiha, can he win?"

The boy with a fair face said.

"Disaster."

Kimimaro's answer was as precious as gold.

Bu Zhan snorted coldly, he knew that Shuiyue didn't obey his orders, and instead provoked her very high profile.

He agreed with Kimimaro's words that it would be difficult for Suigetsu to win this game.

It depends on whether the opponent is also like Shuiyue, with a contemptuous attitude and gives some opportunities to counterattack.

Seeing that the two people who had not yet started fighting, there was already some smell of gunpowder between them. Onigashima Shinobi did not waste any nonsense, satisfying the two of them's desire to teach each other a lesson:

"Game start."

As soon as he finished speaking, Suigetsu stepped back, raised his arms, stretched out his two index fingers, locked his sharp eyes on Sasuke's body, and chakra quickly gathered on the two index fingers.

All actions are completed in an instant.

boom!

The two sounds blended into one sound.

Two bullets made of water droplets pierced through the layers of blocked air in front of him and shot towards Sasuke.

As soon as Sasuke lifted his footsteps, the figure disappeared from the spot, making the attack of the water bomb miss.

"Don't try to hide it from my eyes! Water Escape·The art of the powerful water wrist!"

Shuiyue laughed and raised his right arm, only to see his right arm twitched and twisted, and immediately swelled up.

At this moment, Shuiyue looked like a child using an adult's arms. His swollen right arm did not match his thin body at all.

But the power is first-class.

He caught the speed of Sasuke's movement and reacted ahead of time, trying to take Sasuke down in one fell swoop.

Sasuke's body flickered again, and he disappeared in front of Suigetsu even faster than before.

boom!

Under the attack of Shuiyue's inflated arm, the ground suddenly exploded.

Seeing that her attack failed again, Shuiyue cut.

There was a whistling sound and hot breath from behind. It was the Fire Release that Shuiyue was familiar with and hated.

Shuiyue rolled her body sideways without even thinking and avoided the impact of the fireball.

Even he would be in a bit of trouble if he got hit by that kind of attack.

Shuiyue, who had escaped the attack, just turned around when a figure flashed in front of him.

So fast! Shui Yue was shocked.

He barely managed to see Sasuke's movements clearly, but it was too late.

Sasuke's fist hit him ferociously in the abdomen and spun around, increasing the power of the fist.

boom!

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly.

The palms of my hands became wet, and my clothes and face were also wet by the splashing water.

His fist was seen directly penetrating Shuiyue's body, but that part of the body did not look like flesh and blood at all, but like refreshing water.

The strong binding force kept his arms fixed there, unable to move.

"Sorry, I have a strong immunity to physical attacks. Now the outcome is decided, I win, Uchiha Sasuke."

All of Suigetsu's body below his chest turned into water, tightly wrapping around Sasuke's body, making him unable to move.

Even though he was in an unfavorable situation, Sasuke's face never panicked.

Although Suigetsu's ninjutsu is indeed a bit strange, it would be difficult for an ordinary ninja to break free from his shackles.

Just when Suigetsu was about to end the battle, he suddenly saw Sasuke's pupils turning red, and a pair of magatama spinning in his pupils, which made Suigetsu subconsciously feel something bad.

But it was too late.

The chakra in Sasuke's body began to flow crazily. In an instant, countless lightnings wrapped around his body and flowed rapidly on the surface of his body, forming a three-dimensional defense.

Shuiyue let out a miserable scream, and his whole body was stimulated by thunder and lightning. In addition, his hydrated body accelerated the transmission speed of thunder and lightning, wrapping his body airtight.

boom.

The body fell to the ground, still twitching.

Although he had not lost consciousness, there was no strength left in his body, and he could only stare at Sasuke unwillingly and angrily.

"Now, the identities of hunter and prey can be reversed."

Sasuke aimed his Sharingan at Suigetsu's pupils.

The next moment, Suigetsu's face became dull and he entered the illusion field of Sharingan.

"Winner, Uchiha Sasuke."

Onigashima Shinobu announced the result.

The medical ninjas under the stage were already well prepared and very skillfully put the injured Suigetsu on a stretcher and sent him to the infirmary for treatment.

"That idiot told him to be careful."

Zabuza suddenly became dissatisfied when he saw Suigetsu's fate.

"There's no way around this. Don't kill Mr. Shuiyue. The hydration technique of Shuiyue will not be able to liquefy due to the lightning escape. It can only be said to be restrained by ninjutsu."

The fair-faced Kirigakure genin said.

"Stop making excuses for him, Bai. After I go back, I will train him again. When it's your turn next, don't be like him, do you hear me?"

Zabuza snorted.

On the other side, Kakashi said to Sasuke who came up: "I didn't expect you to develop Chidori to such an extent. It seems that you have grown very fast recently."

"It's all thanks to that guy's gift. This thing, I have found some rules about using it."

Sasuke clutched his sore neck and replied calmly.

Then, he looked at the electronic screen.

The new duel list has been presented——

Uchiha Asuka (ghost) VS Nara Shikamaru (Konoha)
