Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 329 8 Cloud's Illusionary Techniques

Not long after.

Soon it was Yakumo and Karin's turn to play.

Yakumo's opponent is Karui.

Their match was arguably the most uneventful match of the entire Chunin Exams period.

Karui jumped off the field with great enthusiasm, ready to prove the strength of the Cloud Village ninja.

As a result, after leaving the field, he rushed to Yakumo's side and stood still without moving.

Karui only surrendered after Yakumo finished painting a picture.

This led many viewers to believe they had witnessed a fixed match.

They all shouted for their money back.

Even Samui suspected that Karui had chosen to surrender voluntarily out of fear of punishment.

After hearing the explanation, I understood the reason.

This also reminded me of information related to the Kurama clan.

He didn't say anything more.

"Qingye, this painting is for you. What do you think of it?"

Yakumo held the painting in his hand in front of Shirokumo Aoba.

The painting depicts white clouds, green leaves, and her tender moments with him.

This prompted Bai Yunqingye to tap her on the head.

"The Chunin Exams are a proper venue. Don't do this again!"

"Oh."

Yakumo covered his head and nodded sullenly.

"However, this painting is quite good, so I'll keep it."

Baiyun Qingye then put the painting away.

A smile returned to Yakumo's face. He secretly cast an illusion and whispered in Shirokumo Aoba's ear.

"Actually, I have a lot of even sexier paintings at home. If you're interested, Aoba, you can come to my house to take a look."

"Moreover, my illusion magic can turn the contents of a painting into reality."

As he spoke, Yakumo mischievously poked Shirokumo Aoba's foot with his toe.

Looking at Tenten and the others who seemed oblivious, Shirokumo Aoba couldn't help but marvel at how Yakumo's genjutsu skills were becoming increasingly formidable.

He didn't say much, but directly silenced Yakumo with his actions.

After a moment of suffocation.

This made Yakumo feel a little smug, and he completely forgot what he had just said.

"Quickly adjust your mindset and focus on the game."

Baiyun Qingye wiped the corner of the other person's mouth.

Because Karin's match is coming up soon, if Karin says anything then, it's easy for her to give herself away.

"Oh~"

Yakumo answered in a daze.

After adjusting my state, I dispelled the illusion.

"Brother Qingye, it's my turn to go on stage! Cheer me on!"

Sure enough, as soon as the illusion was dispelled, Karin ran up to Shirakumo Aoba and leaned her head close.

He didn't say much, but reached out and patted her head, smiling as he said, "Keep it up."

Then Karin jumped onto the field with a happy expression.

Completely unaware of Yakumo's unusual behavior beside him.

Her opponent was an unknown genin from Kirigakure.

It seems that passing the second exam was more due to luck.

It didn't even last ten rounds against Karin.

He was bound and secured by the Vajra Lock.

Mei Terumi in the stands could only grit her teeth and mutter under her breath.

Karin really showed no respect.

This puts her, as the acting Mizukage, in a very difficult position.

After several rounds of competition, the first round of the third exam finally came to an end.

"As expected of Konoha, it truly produces a wealth of talented individuals."

Chiyo, who had watched the entire performance, couldn't help but sigh.

Mei Terumi didn't deny it this time either; that's an obvious fact.

Although Konoha had the home advantage and had the most participants in the exam.

But it is also a fact that Konoha's geniuses defeated the geniuses from other villages.

The only one from Sunagakure to pass the first round.

She is Temari, who already has one foot in Konoha.

"The geniuses from Sunagakure and Kirigakure are not bad either, they just lack luck."

Tsunade understood simple pleasantries; she was referring to Chojuro and Gaara.

Chiyo and Terumi Mei didn't say anything.

"Lady Tsunade."

At that moment, Shizune walked over and whispered something in Tsunade's ear.

"Naruto and Sasuke are still asleep. Kakashi and Guy have already forfeited the rest of the matches for them."

"Well, let them get some rest."

Tsunade nodded.

Both of them have already proven their abilities.

"Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha forfeited their subsequent matches."

"Neji Hyuga, Sakura Haruno, Temari, Akatsuchi, Omoi, Hinata Hyuga, Yakumo Kurama, Karin... Advance to the next round."

Genma Shiranui received the news that Naruto and Sasuke had withdrawn from the competition and announced it loudly.

"Naruto and Sasuke actually forfeited?"

Choji asked, puzzled, while eating potato chips.

"Those two were fighting so intensely before, they're probably still in the hospital now."

Shikamaru said listlessly.

He also felt like going back to sleep.

After a half-hour rest.

The second round of the competition has officially begun.

"Break time is over, now the second round of the competition begins."

Genma Shiranui walked onto the field carrying a lottery box. He stood in the center of the field and explained to the audience and examinees.

"The second round of the competition will be conducted through a live draw."

As he spoke, he casually took out a slip of paper and loudly read out the name on it.

"Temari".

Temari was slightly surprised, not expecting her to be the first.

The people in this second round are quite a few who are stronger than her.

"Haruno Sakura".

Genma Shiranui then drew out a second slip of paper.

Temari was slightly taken aback.

She subconsciously looked at Sakura, who was also looking at her.

I never expected it to be another civil war.

"I really didn't expect that."

Temari smiled slightly at Sakura.

Sakura returned the smile.

"Sakura, you'd better teach this guy a good beating later!"

Every day, he leaned close to Sakura's ear and whispered something.

Although the voice was soft, everyone present heard it.

Temari looked speechless, inwardly complaining.

That's really petty.

"Ha ha……"

Sakura could only laugh awkwardly.

He neither refused nor objected, but spoke earnestly.

"I will do my best."

Me too.

Temari's expression was serious; Sakura's fighting style was completely different from Tenten's.

That incredible strength was terrifying.

Moreover, she is a medical ninja.

This will likely be a protracted battle.

"Don't get hurt, but it's okay if you do, I can heal you."

Bai Yun Qingye said to the two of them.

This time he was smarter and didn't say anything about going easy on him like before.

Otherwise, there will always be a feeling that the treatment is unfair.

"Ah."

The two had no conflict and nodded.

For Sakura, the idea of ​​a fiancée is a bit outdated.

She had already held a wedding ceremony with Aoba and almost consummated their marriage.

Although it was in a dream, the process was something the two of them experienced together.

The two landed on the field together.

"Alright, both sides, get ready!"

Genma Shiranui stood between the two.

Temari and Sakura form opposing hand seals.

"The competition begins!"

After announcing the start of the match, Genma Shiranui quickly left the arena.

Temari activated her Samsung Fan directly this time, no longer underestimating her opponent as she had in her previous match against Tenten.
