Naruto: Starting by Teaching Tsunade Modernization

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Shinku



Perhaps no one expected that the first written test of the Alliance Chunin Exams would turn into a fierce covert confrontation.

Such a scene had never occurred in the past.

At least in the first round, everyone tacitly cheated on their own.

It was the first time the atmosphere was so tense.

After suffering a setback, Xi got angrier the more he thought about it.

Even Tarui, who usually hates trouble, had to step in again.

From the current situation, the performance of the Cloud Hidden Village was a bit embarrassing.

Although he didn't care much, he couldn't ignore the face of the Raikage and the Cloud Hidden Village.

However, Kakashi and Obito were no worse than them.

Due to the presence of the invigilating teachers, ordinary ninjutsu couldn't be used, and excessive chakra fluctuations were easy to detect. So genjutsu and super - strong chakra control became the focus of the competition.

Coincidentally, these two were Kakashi and Obito's strong suits.

Obito's Sharingan makes him one of the best genjutsu ninjas in the Uchiha Clan.

Kakashi's Kendo gives him extraordinary chakra control.

But the combination of Tarui, Xi, and Samui was also not weak.

As the saying goes, "When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer."

Halfway through the written test, one - third of the genin had been eliminated.

Most of them were from small ninja villages.

Except for the Cloud Hidden Village, which didn't participate in the exams.

Currently, Hanzo was busy dealing with the elusive The Akatsuki Organization and had no time or energy to participate in the Chunin Exams.

After learning the secret techniques from Haruki, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan no longer engaged in frontal confrontation as they did in the original story. Instead, they maximized their single - combat abilities. With the help of the Oshima Chamber of Commerce, they were well - hidden among the people.

Hanzo was extremely annoyed.

Even when walking on the road, he was afraid that an assassin from The Akatsuki Organization would pop out from a grove, a riverside, or a street.

The written test ended.

The invigilating teachers collected the test papers.

Haruki didn't prepare the so - called final question as in the original story.

After all, there was no Naruto Uzumaki with a blank paper, so there was no need to test their determination.

"Gentlemen."

One of the invigilating teachers stepped onto the grandstand and announced, "Currently, a total of 48 squads, 144 people, have passed. Please take a look at the specific list."

Haruki took the list and flashed a slight smile.

Sunagakure didn't suffer much. It originally had seven squads, and with Sasori's protection, it only lost one squad.

But it was different for the Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha Village.

These two ninja villages were the most powerful.

The Cloud Hidden Village sent twenty squads with some bad intentions, but now only half of them remained.

However, two - thirds of Konoha's squads, fifteen in total, still remained.

It was obvious who had the upper hand in the first written test.

The Third Raikage said a few polite words and then left in a hurry.

Seeing this, the others also went back to Konoha to rest, waiting for the highlight of tomorrow.

"How do you feel?"

Haruki walked up to Tsunade and gently patted her on the back. It felt firm and made a soft sound.

Tsunade was startled.

She quickly looked around, and everyone had already left.

"What are you doing?"

Tsunade moved Haruki's hand away, stared at him, and asked, "What do you mean by 'how do you feel'?"

Haruki reached out and touched her cheek, smiling. "Other than the Chunin Exams, what else do you think it could be?"

"..."

Tsunade knew she had misunderstood. After thinking for a while, she said, "The first round was quite good. Kakashi and Obito really lived up to being your apprentices."

"Of course. After all, I've put in a lot of effort for the two of them."

Haruki blinked and grinned mischievously. "Hokage - sama, shouldn't you reward me?"

"Let's talk about it when we get home!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "Haruki, can you tell the right occasion... Ah... Um..."

The scene before her eyes changed.

She instantly appeared at home.

Her mouth was blocked.

After a long time, Haruki bit her tongue and then they separated.

Just as Tsunade was about to speak, Haruki picked her up around the waist.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Haruki sat on the sofa, buried his head in her chest, sniffed the faint fragrance, and couldn't help but tease, "Do you want to drink milk?"

Tsunade punched the back of his head.

"Do you want to taste my fist?"

"Ouch."

Haruki gasped. Fortunately, he had the Sage Body; otherwise, he really couldn't have taken this punch.

He raised his head, grabbed her hand, and licked it.

"..."

Tsunade quickly pulled back her hand, sighed, and said, "I think you don't want lunch. You'd rather... Um."

Clothes were flying everywhere in the living room.

While the two were getting intimate, the atmosphere in the room of the Cloud Hidden Village seemed rather solemn.

"Raikage - sama, I failed to do my job well."

Facing the Raikage and many eliminated teams from the Cloud Hidden Village, the usually care - free Tarui looked extremely apologetic.

As the strongest team in the Cloud Hidden Village, they were supposed to protect their own team and reduce the number of competitors.

But obviously, they did a poor job in the first written - test round.

Xi and Samui behind him also lowered their heads.

"Humph, I should have been allowed to participate in the first place."

Yugito Nii raised her chin, looking a bit arrogant.

Third Raikage waved his hand, not caring about Yugito's personality.

This young girl was a bit proud.

She was young and had been raised as a hero, so it was natural for her to have such a personality.

Yes, the Jinchuriki in the Cloud Hidden Village were quite different from those in other ninja villages and had not been discriminated against much.

On the one hand, the Raikage had done a good job; on the other hand, the people of the Cloud Hidden Village were tough - minded.

"Tarui, there's no need for this."

Third Raikage patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although the Cloud Hidden Village didn't perform well in the first written - test, it's not your fault."

He hadn't anticipated such a situation beforehand.

But after watching the whole process, he really thought Tarui shouldn't be blamed.

First of all, large - scale and noisy Ninjutsu couldn't be used in the written - test, so Tarui's greatest advantage couldn't be brought into play.

Secondly, there were really many geniuses in Konoha.

In his observation, Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha were as talented as Tarui.

In addition, there were many guys who hadn't even shown their hands, and judging from their auras, they were not easy to deal with.

However, the Third Raikage didn't lose confidence.

"The restrictions in the first round are too great. The second and third rounds are when you can show your true strength."

The next day.

At the starting point in the northeast direction of the Death Forest.

All the remaining teams from yesterday gathered here.

Haruki stood at the front, announcing the rules.

It was completely different from the original story.

"Going straight west from where you're standing, you'll see a tall tower. It's both your destination and the venue for the third individual match.

The test in the second round is to pass through the Death Forest, but the spots are limited. Only the first 12 teams to arrive can pass.

In other words, 108 of you will be eliminated. So, show your strength along the way and send the other teams off happily.

At the same time, I must remind you that there are countless traps on this road. You need to avoid them, but you can also use them. If you get injured and want to give up, just light a signal flare."

After a pause, Haruki raised his hand and then put it down, saying, "Go!"

Streaks of figures immediately flashed past him and disappeared into the Death Forest.

"Everyone, please go to the grandstand."

Haruki turned around and looked at the ninjas from the three major villages and Nobuaki Oda, the Fire Daimyo.

"The big screen on the grandstand will show all the images. Don't worry about missing the exciting parts."

Thanks to the development of the internet in Konoha, a series of internet industries have been driven.

Live - broadcasting is one of them.

In combination with the Aburame clan, they modified the bugs to make them function as cameras.

And the chakra they contain is extremely small.

Ordinary ninjas will only think they are ordinary bugs and won't think that they are actually being monitored.

That's right, live - broadcasting is just a basic function. Its real use is for monitoring.

The Death Forest is full of monitoring bugs.

Any ninja who steps into the Death Forest will be detected, and the images will be sent to Konoha.

The Third Raikage and others were not surprised.

Because there was similar technology in the original story. Before the Fourth Great Ninja War, there had been remote video call operations.

But they will never think that it actually comes from the biology that combines technology and ninjutsu.

If they knew, they would definitely be on guard.

The application of this technology on the battlefield undoubtedly holds broad prospects.

The image on the big screen was divided into more than a dozen parts, corresponding to most of the teams.

They soon encountered the first trap set by Haruki.

Suddenly, the flat ground exploded.

As the dirt flew, a huge black dog rushed out, opening its mouth and biting at the ninjas who disturbed it.

With a muffled groan, the genin who couldn't react in time sprayed several streams of blood from their arms and bodies.

The smell of blood filled the air.

The black dog became even more excited.

For a moment, the barks of the dog and the screams of the people mixed together, making it very lively.

On the live - broadcast screen, many people had four or five big black dogs hanging on them and pulled the signal flares with a humiliated look on their faces.

This was their first time, but they hoped it would be the last time to experience being bitten by a dog.

Tsunade turned to glance at Haruki. Though she knew about the general traps, seeing them in person, she still thought it was a bit... doggy.

Haruki looked at her innocently.

Tsunade rolled her eyes, then turned her head and secretly grinned. She seemed to be in a great mood.

The obstacles set by Haruki mainly consisted of ninja beasts and various booby traps.

Dogs, cats, crows, snakes, frogs, etc.

Among them, snakes posed the greatest threat.

After all, they were the summoned beasts of Orochimaru.

He was pulled in by Haruki to help, and he was quite unhappy about it. But since he couldn't beat Haruki, he could only take out his anger on these genin.

Haruki estimated that almost half of the teams had been eliminated by the ninja snakes.

He couldn't help but give Orochimaru a mental thumbs - up.

It was a pity that Orochimaru was in the Death Forest, controlling his summoned beasts and couldn't see his gesture.

Otherwise, he might have accidentally sent a few more snakes after Haruki.

The various booby traps also had quite good results.

There were cross - beams dropping from the sky, needle spikes suddenly emerging from the ground, and kunai and shuriken popping out of the forest.

But there were no life - threatening things like explosive tags.

All in all, the duty Haruki assigned to the Anbu was to hunt and capture the students taking the exam, treating them like large wild beasts.

In addition, there was also a lot of in - fighting among the students.

It was a pity that the strongest teams from several major villages hadn't encountered each other yet.

The main reason was that the Death Forest was extremely large, and with the incessant booby traps, they didn't dare to act rashly. Moreover, the essence of this round was not to defeat other teams, but to reach the finish line in the shortest time.

If they really wanted to decide the winner, the third round would undoubtedly be a better choice.

In the original story, Orochimaru's meddling caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But now, Orochimaru had become an invigilating teacher.

The goal of the Cloud Hidden Village was Tsunade, and everything in the exam was going according to the normal process.

When would they make their move?

Haruki stroked his chin and stared at the screen, thinking about this matter.

Although the Cloud Hidden Village had reached an agreement with the Sunagakure, the Third Raikage didn't tell the Third Kazekage the specific timing for the sake of confidentiality.

He only said to act when the opportunity arose.

Naturally, Haruki also couldn't know.

It must be said that the Third Raikage was highly vigilant.

Haruki's eyes fell on Nobuaki Oda, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked the Fire Daimyo.

Although the Third Raikage was from the Land of Lightning, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't make a move against a daimyo.

No matter how they fought, there was an established rule that the daimyo wouldn't be affected.

Haruki guessed that the reason the Third Raikage had remained quiet in the first two rounds was because of the daimyo and the nobles.

But the third round was different. It was a one - on - one competition, and it might take a very long time.

This meant that the daimyo couldn't watch the competition all the time and would definitely need some rest.

Maybe the Cloud Hidden Village's hunting time would come at night.

The second round of the competition lasted until noon and then came to an end.

All twelve teams had arrived.

Haruki and the others moved to the high tower.

The first floor of the spacious interior was a building similar to the Roman Colosseum.

There was a huge arena in the middle.

And there were high platforms and seats built around it.

The twelve teams stood in the center.

Those looking at them had complex expressions.

By the final round, apart from the teams from the three major ninja villages, there were no other teams from other ninja villages.

However, the Third Raikage was not happy.

There were six teams from Konoha Village, three teams from Sunagakure, and three teams from Cloud Hidden Village.

Although his village had sent the most teams, they were now on par with Sunagakure. This situation made him so frustrated that he felt like spitting blood.

This would leave a not - so - good impression on the Daimyo and the nobles watching.

In the past, Cloud Hidden Village always had an edge over Sunagakure, but now it seemed that was just so - so.

If such an impression was left, it wouldn't be easy to change it.

"The rules for the third round are also very simple."

Haruki asked someone to bring a transparent lottery box. "The three Kages will draw lots respectively. The pairs will compete, and the winners will advance to the next round."

"Raikage, you're a guest from afar. You can start first."

After Haruki finished speaking, Tsunade raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation to the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage nodded without being polite. He stepped forward and randomly picked two paper balls from the many.

"The first one is Sasori from Sunagakure."

He frowned slightly. He never thought he'd be so lucky to draw one of the strongest students right away.

He hoped the other one wasn't from Cloud Hidden Village.

The Third Raikage opened the second paper ball, and his expression instantly froze.

"Sasori's opponent is Hayata from Cloud Hidden Village."

After hearing his name, Sasori came to the center of the arena. When he learned his opponent, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The Jonin in the grandstand made the same gesture.

But Hayata didn't think he would lose.

Puppeteers were strong because of their puppets, not themselves.

As long as he could control Sasori with genjutsu or ninjutsu before the puppet attacked, he could win.

The match began.

The two formed the Opposite Seal.

"Shinku."

Sasori said indifferently.

After a puff of smoke, a cute loli appeared in front of him.

Shinku used to be the same height as Sasori, but now Sasori was a head taller than her, looking like an older brother.

However, Shinku's appearance made those who hadn't seen her before stunned.

Was this really a puppet? Or was it a human?

But the next moment, Shinku raised her hand.

Her slender arm instantly overheated, producing puffs of steam.

A muzzle appeared in her palm.

Along with a loud roar, a bright passage appeared in the air.

It was a combination of gunpowder and chakra.

People only saw the exhaust trail left by the extreme speed.

Hayata only felt a Iaido's Flash before his eyes. His body was thrown high into the air and he lost consciousness.

He didn't even have time to react.

The burnt skin on his chest was exposed through his ninja uniform.
