In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

Page 136

He completely forgot that just a moment ago he was supposed to treat his younger brother well and make himself look good.

Sure enough, women can change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Xia Mu, that was a great win. Let me see if you're hurt?"

Kurenai greeted her with a smile.

This made Xia Mu's heart skip a beat.

Oh no, I've offended my sister.

When she is out in public, Kurenai usually refers to herself as "teacher".

If she suddenly calls herself "older sister," it means she's about to teach her a lesson.

Sure enough, the older sister raised her slender hand and accurately grabbed Xia Mu's ear.

Just lift it gently.

Natsuki automatically broke free from Hinata and Ino's encirclement and fell into Kurenai Yuhi's rhythm.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! What are you doing, sister? I just won a battle!"

Xia Mu stood on tiptoe and quickly cried out in pain.

Even if it doesn't hurt, you'll still cry out in pain; this is a common tactic used to deal with elders.

"Hmph! So you do feel pain."

"Didn't you spout nonsense about being the Lord of the End? Shouldn't you be the one who is the greatest in the world?"

"You've only won one preliminary round, and you're already getting cocky. You're always so arrogant."

With her left hand on her hip and her right hand pulling her ear, Kurenai Yuhi looked every bit the strict mother.

Sure enough, disciplining younger generations is a girl's instinct, it's innate.

"Ah, I am the Lord of the End, and my sister is the Lord of the End's sister."

"How dare I be arrogant in front of you?"

Xia Mu quickly admitted his mistake.

"Hmph, battles are not child's play. We must be careful, understand?"

Seeing that Natsuki had broken away from Hinata and Ino, and having achieved her goal, Kurenai finally let go.

Then she tenderly rubbed Xia Mu's ears: "Does it hurt? I'll cook something delicious tonight to celebrate your success."

No way! If you eat your culinary disaster, will you even be able to compete in the finals?

Xia Mu muttered to herself, but said sweetly:

"It doesn't hurt."

"My sister always tells me to be humble and cautious, which is the right thing to do."

At this moment, Asuma approached again, standing next to Kurenai, seemingly trying to gain her favor by praising her:

"You two siblings have such a good relationship."

"Xia Mu won a very beautiful battle just now."

Xia Mu showed no respect whatsoever.

She darted between the two, grabbed her sister's arm, and said with an innocent smile:

"Of course, it's all thanks to my sister, who guided us day and night on how to become excellent ninjas."

This little devil.

How come you always stand in such a good position?

Watching the distance between herself and Kurenai Yuhi gradually widen.

Asma was exasperated, realizing for the first time how difficult his "brother-in-law" was.

At this moment, on the large screen on the first floor below.

The draw for the second round of the competition has begun.

Uchiha Sasuke VS Yakushi Kabuto.

The renowned Uchiha orphan immediately attracted everyone's attention.

121: After eight rounds, Gaara strangles Toss.

The anticipated scene of Sasuke Uchiha displaying his incredible power did not materialize.

People were inevitably somewhat disappointed.

Because Kabuto Yakushi, this double agent, surrendered immediately.

This led many people to boo at Kabuto Yakushi, who claimed to be Naruto's senior and a former Konoha student.

However, this had no effect on Kabuto at all; he even smiled and greeted people he knew.

He's serious about slacking off.

The thick skin of a double agent is not just for show.

It's foolish to change your plans just because you're easily provoked by ridicule.

In the third round, Kankuro faced off against Misumi Kensuke, and Kankuro won easily.

In the fourth round, Temari will face off against Tenten.

Same as the original.

Tenten's numerous ninja tools were completely countered by Temari's Wind Release. In the end, she was utterly defeated by Temari's ultimate move, Wind Release: Kamaitachi.

Round 5, Shino Aburame vs. Zaku.

Zaku is one of the Sound Ninja trio, and his signature ability is the Sky-Slicing Wave, which can destroy rocks.

It was only because of the special device on his arm that it was completely blocked by Shino Aburame's insects.

This caused Sak's air-cutting wave to explode directly, resulting in another battle where he was completely countered.

Round 6: Yamanaka Ino vs. Haruno Sakura.

This was a closely contested battle. As a support character, he could only unleash his full potential when he formed the traditional Ino-Shika-Cho trio with Shikamaru, Choji, and others.

Working alone is not Ino's forte.

Although she joined Natsuki's club and gained the ability to summon heroic spirits.

Unfortunately, the one summoned was the most aloof and proud hero-king, Gilgamesh.

Completely disregarding their Master's orders, after causing a ruckus in Konoha that nearly triggered Danzo's heart attack, they led the Uchiha clan out to conquer the world.

It is said that he has led the Uchiha clan across the sea, preparing to take over the Land of Water.

Therefore, Ino can only use her original ability, just like in the original story, and encounter Sakura Haruno's second personality.

The attempt to turn the mind around failed.

In the end, the two best friends, who had known each other since childhood, fought to a draw, just like any other girls having a fight.

Both were disqualified from the third official match.

It's worth mentioning that, despite Natsuki's presence, the two did not become enemies over Sasuke.

This time, Ino prefers Natsuki.

After all, Natsuki is even more handsome than Sasuke.

Ino, this carefree girl, fell in love at first sight.

Sakura Haruno, however, still prefers Sasuke, a cool and reserved type of guy.

The seventh round, however, deviated from the original story once again.

Rock Lee vs. Hirono Momota.

Looking at the names on the screen, Xia Mu couldn't help but feel the powerful influence of the butterfly effect.

Originally, Rock Lee was supposed to fight Gaara in the end, then forcefully open the Fifth Gate and break through Gaara's defense.

Ultimately, due to exhaustion, Gaara crippled one of his arms and one of his legs.

I never expected that I wouldn't run into them at all.

This Momota Hirono was never seen in the original work; he was a Sand Ninja.

I suspect that my presence in the Death Forest caused the second match to end prematurely.

This change occurred because more candidates were able to pass the competition.

Round 8, Gaara vs. Tos.

A boy with deep eye bags, carrying a huge gourd on his back.

Upon entering, he attracted everyone's attention.

The overwhelming murderous aura seemed to lower the temperature of the entire venue by several degrees.
