Naruto: Damn!!! I am OP

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 : [30] : Too Reckless?



"..."

Kisame appeared a dozen meters away from Shin.

His right arm was severed from the shoulder, and he was now clutching the wound with his left hand, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he endured the pain. His initial composure was long gone.

Too young.

Shin sighed inwardly, looking at Kisame's appearance.

At this time, Kisame, though outstanding in chakra, didn't have the Samehada sword, so his prominence wasn't as exaggerated. His combat experience was also far inferior to that of the grown Kisame who killed Fuguki Suikazan and joined the Akatsuki.

The ninjutsu Kisame used earlier, including the Water Clone he used to lure him and the subsequent Water Prison Jutsu, would likely have trapped someone else.

But Shin had anticipated all of it from the start.

Information asymmetry.

If both sides had equal knowledge, perhaps Kisame at this stage could have contended with him. But with an information imbalance, it was a one-sided crushing defeat.

"Hmm?!"

Just as Shin was about to continue his attack and finish off Kisame, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he turned to look in a certain direction.

In that direction, three figures were rapidly approaching.

"More people coming..."

Shin glanced at Kisame, formed a hand seal with one hand, and with a whoosh, disappeared.

Rushing towards them were three Genin from the Cloud Village.

These three Cloud Village Genin didn't deliberately hunt down other Genin teams like Kisame's group, but they had still defeated two teams.

For teams from other villages, having obtained enough scrolls and being close to the finish line, most would choose to pass the exam first. But Cloud Village ninja were always hot-tempered. Sensing the commotion here, all three almost unanimously decided to head towards the source of the disturbance.

After all, they'd have to fight in the third stage anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to eliminate some people in the second stage.

"It's Water Style ninjutsu... must be someone from the Mist Village."

"Didn't expect to run into Mist ninja. Might as well take them out here."

Kamoi's dark-skinned right arm faintly shimmered with an arc of lightning. He spoke while rubbing his fist, a slight grin on his face.

They, the Cloud Village, were arguably the least afraid of Mist ninja. On one hand, Lightning Style countered Water Style. On the other hand, Cloud Village's style was almost exclusively direct and brutal, while Mist Village's was almost entirely assassination-based, which was also a significant counter in fighting styles.

However.

Just as the three approached the battlefield, one of them suddenly changed his expression, sensing something, and roared,

"Watch out!"

Kamoi's face changed. His entire body was instantly covered in a layer of lightning arcs as he moved sideways to his right, narrowly avoiding a blade that cut up from the mud below.

Whoosh!!

Missing his attack, Shin retreated two steps and looked at Kamoi.

"As expected of Cloud Village ninja, their speed and reaction time are indeed very fast..."

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The other two Cloud Village ninja instantly surrounded Shin, while Kamoi coldly stared at Shin, a sneer on his face.

"I thought it was a Mist ninja, but it's a Leaf one."

The moment his words fell, Kamoi formed a hand seal and slammed it onto the ground. A flash of lightning instantly spread along the ground towards Shin.

Whoosh!

Shin leapt back, retreating.

The two Cloud Village Genin attacked from left and right. Shin, in the tight space, displayed uncanny speed, narrowly weaving and escaping between their attacks.

"Didn't expect a Leaf Genin to have such speed... But with just that, I'm afraid you won't escape."

Kamoi's eyes were cold as he charged towards Shin.

The other two also showed sharp gazes, closing in from left and right again, intending to defeat Shin together.

In the Central Watchtower.

Hiruzen frowned slightly, looking at the screen, and couldn't help but say:

"Too much."

Having taken out two Mist ninja and heavily injured Kisame was already enough for Shin. There was no need to go attack the Cloud Village team.

Shin's displayed speed now was noticeably a bit slower than when he fought the Mist ninja earlier. His condition seemed to have deteriorated, not at his peak.

And one of the Cloud Village ninja clearly had speed not inferior to Shin's, with the other two barely able to keep up.

In this situation, let alone taking out the Cloud ninja, even escaping would be difficult.

"..."

The other Leaf Village examiners also looked a bit nervous.

Kisame's arm was severed. Although Shin didn't kill him, his scrolls were destroyed, so he was eliminated. If Shin messed up here, then the third stage of the Chunin Exam would effectively be canceled, and the three Cloud Village ninja could directly pass.

"He shouldn't have been so reckless."

"As long as he normally entered the third stage, in a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't lose to any of the Cloud ninja."

Hiruzen spoke in a deep voice, looking at the screen.

Beside him, Hiruzen also frowned slightly.

He had just praised Shin's judgment of the situation, unlike a naive nine-year-old. Yet now, things had changed. After killing two Mist ninja and heavily injuring Kisame, Shin seemed to have become overconfident, abandoning the most stable option.

Indeed, no matter how much he can think like an adult, he's still only nine years old. He got some achievements and got a bit carried away... Hiruzen shook his head inwardly.

"...At this distance, there should be a chance to rush to the finish line."

Inoichi Yamanaka looked at the screen, pondering his judgment.

As long as he could rush to the finish line, there wouldn't be much of a problem. The third stage after passing would be one-on-one battles. In a solo duel, Shin's chances of winning would be very high no matter who he encountered.

Hiruzen also nodded slightly.

This mistake for Shin still had a chance to be remedied. Moreover, Shin's ability to defeat the Mist ninja team and the strength he displayed were impressive enough, having already completed his mission.

However, at this moment, a completely different opinion was voiced.

"No."

"It shouldn't be as simple as rushing to the finish line, Hiruzen-sensei."

Orochimaru's arms were crossed over his chest, his snake-like eyes gleaming as he stared at the screen.

"I think you might be underestimating that child."

Despite being separated by a monitor, not observing in person, Orochimaru still felt that Shin wouldn't be so reckless and lacking in confidence as to go looking for trouble with the Cloud ninja after fighting the Mist ninja.

Especially since Shin, even while being attacked by three Cloud ninja, hadn't shown even the slightest trace of panic!

To him.

It was more like... he was observing his opponents.
