Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 455: The exam continues

"The winner is Kirigakure's Guren!"

Amid the waves of cheers, Mitarashi Anko, with a gloomy face, slowly got up from the ground.

'If I can be with Orochimaru-sensei'

The moment this thought flashed through her mind, it was immediately thrown out by Mitarashi Anko.

The word 'Orochimaru' had been permanently sealed by Mitarashi Anko since the moment he defected and before he took her away.

Not only did Mitarashi Anko not want to think about it after hearing it from other people, but she also didn't want to think about it even in her own mind.

But the battle just now was indeed a pity.

Originally, on the island where the second exam took place, there was a battle between Mitarashi Anko and Guren.

However, at that time, Mitarashi Anko was followed by two funny guys, Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu.

On Guren's side, although Miru's strength is not strong either, she still has a powerful teammate Fūshin, the owner of Bloodline Limit Typhoon Style.

Even so, the two teams still ended up in a draw.

So she went through another month of hard special training.

Mitarashi Anko believes that with her strength she should be able to easily defeat Guren.

At the beginning of the battle, the situation was indeed not much different from what Mitarashi Anko had expected.

Although the giant crystal dragon created by Guren's 'Crystal Style: Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon' and the Ryūchi Cave snake summoned by Mitarashi Anko are almost the same in strength.

But after all, one is a ninjutsu creation, which requires the releaser to concentrate on controlling it.

The other is a summoned beast with its own will, and does not need to be controlled by Mitarashi Anko personally.

After several rounds of fighting, Guren quickly fell into a disadvantage.

However, what Mitarashi Anko didn't expect was.

From the beginning of the battle, Guren had been actively avoiding close combat with her. Even in the second exam, she did not show much close combat ability.

After Anko finally found an opportunity to get close to Guren, Guren beat her so badly.

The pair of crystalline double blades condensed on Guren's arms flew up and down.

She used a set of strange physical skills that were neither like sword skills nor like boxing skills. It was like an endless torrent of water, making it impossible for her to defend herself.

After just a few rounds of fighting.

Although the summoning snake was seriously injured, it successfully defeated the "Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon".

But on her side, the double crystal blades were already placed on her neck.

As a last resort, she could only choose to surrender and admit defeat.

Of course, what Mitarashi Anko didn't know was.

Some time ago, after Kaito acquired the 'Water Flowing Technique', he had no time to find someone to practice with.

He simply taught it directly to the little guys who were undergoing special training.

Kaito's current vision is supported by the systematic knowledge he has been taught.

With just a little guidance, the physical skills of these little Genin guys improved rapidly.

Ringo Ameyuri and Hozuki Mangetsu, the two little kids who are proficient in swords, are second to none.

Nakamura Kabuto is a guy with balanced talents in all aspects. With the support of "super strength", his progress in learning physical skills is also rapid.

As for Guren, she has her own family bloodline ninjutsu, 'Crystal Style: Crystal Blade', which is similar to a fist blade, to increase melee damage.

As a ninja who does not need to pursue attack power, but only needs to focus on the consistency and hit rate of her moves.

After learning the physical skills called "Water Flowing Style" which was actually "Combo Style", her close combat strength increased rapidly like a rocket.

Avoiding battle at the beginning of the battle was just a strategy to show weakness to the enemy and lure Anko Mitarashi to get close.

In the end, due to the disadvantage in intelligence, Mitarashi Anko had no choice but to accept the defeat.

But even so, all the spectators who came to watch the game still gave the two of them huge cheers.

After all, most of the audience are just ordinary people.

They don't understand things like timing in battle, the dangers of fighting, and the game of strategy.

The extremely exciting scene of the crystal dragon fighting against the summoning snake is what they really like.

Especially since the two fighting parties are young girls.

Anyone who can perform ninjutsu of this magnitude has already been labeled a genius in their minds.

Not to mention the battle that is already over.

After Mitarashi Anko left sadly.

Harusame, the chief examiner, waited until the cheering audience calmed down a little before he spoke again.

"Chūnin Exam, third match, Konohagakure's Uchiha Shisui vs Sunagakure's Maki!"

After hearing Harusame announce the combatants of this match below, Kazekage Rasa showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He was well aware of Maki's strength. Even among the Chunins, she was not considered a weakling.

Even the order to temporarily demote Maki to a Genin to take part in this exam was given by him personally.

Now seeing Maki appear, although her opponent is a talented young man from the famous Uchiha clan in the ninja world, he still has full confidence in Maki.

Of course, when he was arguing with Kaito before, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze on the side acted like a good guy and tried to mediate.

So this time, Rasa did not take the initiative to provoke Minato Namikaze, but just watched the battle quietly.

That's all.

After thinking about Maki's victory over the Uchiha genius, perhaps the daimyo and nobles watching the battle would change their perception of Sunagakure and give them more mission shares.

If the Daimyo of the Land of Wind increased its military spending on the Sunagakure Village, the Fourth Kazekage himself would no longer need to work hard digging sand every day.

The smile on Rasa's face became even more intense at this moment.

However, it was different from what Rasa in the stands thought.

Maki, who was already standing in the center of the ring, looked extremely ugly.

If she were to say which opponent she least wanted to face in today's exam, Hozuki Mangetsu would definitely be ranked first.

Maki had basically no means to cause any substantial harm to the Hydrification Jutsu passed down from the Hozuki Clan.

But apart from that Hozuki Mangetsu.

The Uchiha boy in front of her was also an opponent that gave her a lot of headaches.

Maki believed that among her peers, her attainments in wind-style ninjutsu were definitely among the best.

Moreover, her age and combat experience far exceed that of most of the candidates in this year.

But in the previous extra test, she knew that she would never be able to create the giant tornado that Fūshin had unleashed.

However, even a guy with that kind of strength was ultimately defeated by this ordinary young man in front of her.

This is enough to show how strong his strength is.

However, now that the list of opponents has been finalized, Maki has no choice but to accept the challenge.

While Maki was still racking her brains to think of a battle strategy.

Seeing that both of them were ready, Harusame directly announced the start of the game.

The next moment, the two of them threw shurikens at each other at the same time.
