Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

Chapter 43 The beginning of collapse

After the first match, Qi Fei carried the unconscious Naruto to the player lounge.

"Is Naruto okay?" Shikamaru asked worriedly after seeing the unconscious Naruto.

"It's okay, he just fell into a coma due to excessive physical exertion. According to his physique, he will wake up later." Qi Fei gently let Naruto lean against the nearby wall where there was no one around.

Zhi Nao at the side also silently stared at Qi Fei through the sunglasses.The cold itself can defeat bugs, and his parasites are probably helpless when they encounter Qi Fei's frost.

Farther away, Gaara and his team watched Qi Fei vigilantly. They all felt that this plan Qi Fei would be the biggest variable.

After hearing that Naruto was fine, Shikamaru stopped talking.To be honest, he didn't know what to say. Qi Fei's display of strength was too terrifying. He was thinking about whether to give up or not. If he met him after winning, he would be ashamed to be frozen into a popsicle.

The audience and Jonin who watched the battle had the same idea as Shikamaru.The general ninja, especially the ninja who has experienced the chaos of the nine tails, knows that Naruto used the power of the nine tails at the end of the first game.

They were all amazed that Naruto could use that power sensibly.But even more amazed that even with that power, Naruto still couldn't defeat Qi Fei.

After Qi Fei left the arena, the frost that had frozen everything began to melt and sublimate rapidly.After the ice on the field had almost melted, Genma went on stage again to announce the start of the second match.

However, Sasuke Uchiha, the player in the second game, has not shown up for a long time.

Until the audience began to complain that the third Hokage was about to disqualify Uchiha Sasuke from the competition, the fourth Kazekage pleaded for Sasuke.

The reason is that the duel between two geniuses, Sasuke and Gaara, has attracted the attention of countless people, including daimyo politicians, so it would be too boring to cancel it directly.

Therefore, the third Hokage finally decided to postpone the match between Sasuke and Gaara.Advance to the next game.

However, when it was Kankuro's turn to play, Kankuro abstained directly for the purpose of preserving and hiding his strength.It annoyed Zhi Nao who had already prepared to play, he felt that he was underestimated.

The audience who finally waited until the start of the game was completely blown away.Theoretically, after spending the money to watch seven games, two games disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he lost money immediately.

Seeing the audience's dissatisfaction, Temari also felt that this was not going to work, so she waved her fan and flew to the field with the fan, waiting for her opponent with great interest.

"Alas~" Shikamaru had already seen Temari's strength in the qualifiers, and recalling the terrifying storm attack, he really didn't want to go on stage and get beaten.

But thinking about how he has been lying all the way up to now, as well as the training for the past month, and Teacher Asma's expectations, he felt that he couldn't just abstain.

Seeing that the audience started to complain again, Shikamaru finally entered the stage reluctantly, standing opposite Temari.

"Then, the third round, Temari vs. Shikamaru, begins!"

Hearing Genma's announcement, Temari waved his fan and was alert to Shikamaru's movements.Shikamaru immediately formed a seal: "Shadow imitation technique!"

The shadow at his feet suddenly turned into a tentacle, and quickly reached out to Temari's feet.

In his mind, shadow mimicry with limited length relies on surprise, and Temari is good at long-range attacks.If you keep the distance, not only will the shadow imitation technique be restricted, but you will also be unilaterally bombarded by Temari.

Therefore, it is a good strategy to attack by surprise while the two are not far away.

"Shadow?!" Temari, who had been vigilant all the time, instantly realized that something was wrong with the shadow at Shikamaru's feet.Although I don't know what effect this shadow has, but it is definitely right to avoid it.

Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish - Temari backed away in a panic under the constant pursuit of the shadow imitation technique.

"So fast!" The two exclaimed inwardly.

Although he had expected it, Shikamaru was still amazed at how vigilant the opponent was, and how he could dodge so quickly at such a short distance.

Temari didn't expect this shadow to be so flexible, biting her so hard that she couldn't take the time to fan Shikamaru.She speculated that if Shikamaru was attacked, the attack would be invalid.

Swish!Suddenly, the shadow that was approaching Temari suddenly stopped, and then quickly retracted to Shikamaru's feet.

"I see, this ninjutsu has a distance limit." Seeing this, Temari picked up his fan and drew a line on the ground, then slammed a storm towards Shikamaru: "Fudun Kamaitachi!"

"Not good!" Seeing this, Shikamaru immediately retreated to the tree trunk not far behind him to avoid the attack of the storm.

boom!A violent storm filled the entire arena.The wall that was originally fragile because of the previous battle collapsed and shattered.

After the storm, Shikamaru, who was safe and sound, looked at the sun leisurely and began to calculate the area of ​​the wall shadow.

"Do you think it's okay to hide?" Temari picked up the fan again, and kept waving it towards Shikamaru's position, releasing a storm attack.

"It's almost there." Dodging a gust of wind, Shikamaru picked up Kunai and threw it towards Temari.

"Don't you know that long-range weapons are ineffective against me?" Temari slapped Kunai away with a backhand.

Swish Swish Swish - Just as Temari swung his fan backhand, Shikamaru's shadow stretched out again.

"It has already opened such a long distance, your shadow... isn't it?!"

Seeing the shadow approaching quickly, Temari had a bad premonition, subconsciously retreated, only to see the shadow pass through the line drawn by her unimpeded, and continue to stretch towards her.

"What's going on... By the way, the wall!" Temari quickly thought of Shikamaru's intention to hide in the backlit corner of the wall, "Can it be combined with the length of the shadow extension technique in other places?"

Being closely followed by the shadow again, Temari could only keep retreating to avoid it.In her mind, she just needs to confirm the length of the shadow this time.

Swish!The extension of the shadow stopped again, and slowly retracted.

"That's it."

Knowing the length of the shadow, and at the same time discovering Shikamaru's location along the shadow.Temari is going to use the avatar technique to pretend Nakashikamaru's postoperative surgery, and directly injure his body severely.

"Next...huh?!"

Temari, who just wanted to implement the plan, found that his body could not move, as if he had lost control.

"Hey! It worked." Shikamaru smiled and let go of Jieyin's hands, and slowly walked out of the shadows.

"Is this the effect of the surgery? But what's going on..." Temari was a little puzzled, obviously she dodged Shikamaru's shadow, and the length of the shadow couldn't reach her.

Temari and Shikamaru moved in sync due to the shadow imitation technique.The distance between the two keeps getting closer.

"Are you confused? Look around you." Shikamaru turned his head.

Temari also turned her head, and then she saw a shadow like a spider web behind her: "This is..."

"The wall that was blown down by you just now. The shadow of the wall and the broken stones can provide a lot of length."

"Damn it!" Temari didn't expect that he would be tricked by such a small character, and Temari felt a little reconciled.

Shikamaru raised his hand, looked at Temari with a sad and unwilling face, and announced: "I lost...I give up."

"……Ugh?!"

"what?!"

The audience who had been absorbed in it didn't react for a while, and then they exclaimed with excitement.

"Although you can use the shadows in other places to extend the length, it will consume too much chakra, and you may not be able to hold on for ten seconds. No matter what strategy, there is not enough time, so I give up."

"Really." Seeing this, Xuanma could only announce: "The third match, the winner, Temari."

However, although Shikamaru lost, all the audience and Jonin present felt that Shikamaru's defeat was an honor.From the performance point of view, he has more qualities as a Chunin than Qi Fei.Qi Fei is crushed by pure strength, compared with Shikamaru's lack of strategy.

[Let him pretend again. 】

Looking at Shikamaru's performance in the players' lounge, Qi Fei couldn't help feeling that smart people are popular everywhere.Even without the holes Naruto dug, he can control opponents according to local conditions.

With the end of the third game, the time to test the audience came again.Sasuke still released everyone.

Finally, at Kazekage's request, he waited for 10 minutes before Sasuke arrived late.

Sasuke and Kakashi back to back, appeared on the field with a whirlwind, and the way of appearance was extremely fashionable.At this time, Sasuke also changed his look: the original blue shirt was replaced by black, and his hair was also long.

Seeing Sasuke appear on the stage, Qi Fei turned around and came to Naruto who was still sleeping, patted his cheek, and said: "Wake up, your Sasuke is here, if you don't wake up, you will miss it."

"Sasuke...Sasuke!" Naruto who was originally dazed suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's Sasuke's turn to compete." Qi Fei said.

"Ah! Uh... Sasuke is here?" Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and Qi Fei as his opponent, Naruto's mind wandered countless times, and finally stopped at the key words.

Thinking of this, Naruto ran towards the fence, saw Sasuke on the field at a glance, and shouted: "Sasuke! I thought you were afraid of the competition and dared not come here."

"Did you win the first match?" Sasuke looked at the excited Naruto and asked.

"..." As if cold water had been poured on him, Naruto's expression sank visibly to the naked eye.

"Really, sure enough." Sasuke had expected this, besides Gaara, Sasuke was most afraid of Qi Fei.With that kind of unreasonable ability and strength, it is not particularly surprising that Naruto will lose.

"Even so, Sasuke, I want to fight you!" Seeing Sasuke who had not seen him for a long time, Naruto responded to the challenge that Sasuke had given him before the qualifiers.He has held back this sentence for a long time.

"Ah." Sasuke also accepted Naruto's challenge.

Seeing Sasuke appear on the stage, Gaara also walked to the arena, and the two stood face to face.

"Then, round four, Sasuke and Gaara, let's begin!"

"Mom, I won't let the previous shame happen again!" Gaara, who was already on the verge of going crazy, saw the prey he had been fighting all along finally appear.The overwhelming sand was released directly from the gourd, rushing towards Sasuke.

"Oops, Gaara's state is very wrong." Seeing Gaara's hideous appearance, Kankuro and Temari became worried.The shame of frostbite and defeat made Gaara go berserk, and the appearance of Sasuke as a vent made Gaara completely lose his mind.

bang bang bang!Countless shells condensed with sand shot towards Sasuke's position.Sasuke dodged nimbly, and in the eyes of everyone in disbelief, he used the same physical skills and speed as Xiao Li, and unexpectedly punched Gaara from behind.

This punch directly hammered the sand armor on Gaara's face out of the crack.

"One after another!" Seeing that the sand armor he was proud of was smashed again, Gaara no longer tried, and directly formed a seal with both hands, controlling all the sand to condense around, slowly forming a circle. Ball, "Desert Wave!"

At the same time, Gaara also successfully displayed the "Eye of Sand", condensing an eyeball above the ball to observe the field.

Seeing Gaara put himself into the "turtle shell", Sasuke rushed up directly, trying to test the strength of the turtle shell with his fist.However, after getting close, Sasuke was almost pierced by the spikes protruding from the sand ball, and blood flowed from the fist that hammered on the sand ball.

"It's so hard." Seeing this, Sasuke immediately jumped away.After a few rounds of testing and finding that the sand ball was indestructible, Sasuke jumped directly onto the wall of the arena, began to form seals and condensed the Lightning Chakra in his hand, "Chidori!"

Zizizi—as if there were thousands of birds chirping, Sasuke condensed the constantly beating lightning in his hand, and at the same time, under the boost of the Lightning Chakra, he sprinted from the high wall all the way to Gaara's sand ball in an instant , dodged all the sharp thorns that hindered him, and directly stabbed Chidori into the sand ball.

"I stabbed." Feeling the touch from his hand, Sasuke was sure that he had successfully stabbed Gaara who was hiding in the sand ball.

"Blood! My blood!" Gaara realized that he was injured again, and instantly turned into a half-tailed beast, directly grabbing the arm extended by Sasuke.

"Ah—" Feeling the sharp pain from his hand, Sasuke hastily cast Chidori again, and forcibly pulled his arm out.It also dragged out a weird arm.

Clutching his arm, Sasuke watched the weird arm slowly retract into the sand ball, wondering what happened just now.

Swish, the maracas dispersed, Gaara clutched his bleeding shoulder, staring at Sasuke with bloodshot eyes.

Hum~ The audience who were watching the game suddenly found that feathers were falling in front of them, the whole person became drowsy, and their vision gradually turned black.

boom!The viewing platform where Hokage and Kazekage were located suddenly exploded, and the huge explosion sound and movement attracted the attention of all those who were still awake.

"Gara!" Temari and Kankuro came to the arena to check Gaara's status.

"Go away, I'm going to kill him!" Gaara said deliriously as he pushed Kankuro away.

"It's meaningless to compare with him, don't forget our mission." Kankuro and Temari persuaded.

"What are you still doing here? The plan has already begun." Maggie also came to Gaara at this time, and asked Gaara when he saw that Gaara was not in the right state.

"The previous frostbite plus the current injury, plus too much chakra consumption, Gaara can't use that right away."

Maji, who quickly understood the situation, directly ordered the three of them: "Go first, and use that immediately after Gaara recovers!"

"go!"

Following Markey's order, Teju and the three of them immediately climbed over the wall and left the arena.Seeing this, Sasuke also immediately chased after him.Markey, who wanted to stop, was held back by the referee Xuanma.

"Mr. Kakashi! Sakura!" Seeing the chaos in the entire arena, Naruto rushed directly from the players' lounge to the audience seats, and Qi Fei followed behind him.

[Finally started to make trouble. 】

Kicking the Otogakure ninja who was trying to attack him into pieces of ice, Qi Fei looked at the chaotic auditorium and thought.
