Konoha new hero story

Chapter 72 Blockade
Chapter 71

"Cough cough."

Referee Konoha, who was not far from where Jiraiya was standing at this time, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Ready to start the battle."

"it is good."

Jilai, who turned his back to the referee, also raised his arms and waved.

On the dueling arena, Jiraiya stood opposite Nagi Igarashi, the former with arms folded, with a confident expression on his face, and the latter with an excited expression.

Ever since I heard about Jiraiya's battle from her companions in Sand Ninja Village during the second exam, Nagi Igarashi has always wanted to fight this Konoha ninja who is much shorter than her.

All the eyes of the surrounding auditorium were on the field, because they all wanted to see whether the boy who showed extraordinary confidence just now was talking big, or really had amazing strength that didn't match his stupid appearance .

This is true in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the high-level officials of the five countries on the high seat and the ninjas from various countries who have completed the exams and gathered in the waiting area, this battle is the least suspenseful.

Especially at this time in the auditorium, some ninjas from the four countries who had been eliminated were all staring at Jiraiya with a monster-like gaze.

These are the few people who were psychologically shadowed by Jiraiya in the second test. The Kirigakure ninja whose feet were chopped off by Jiraiya has been sent back to the country of water in advance.

"The third and final exam of the Chunin exam"

"Konoha Ninja Village, Jiraiya to Sand Ninja Village, Igarashi Nagi"

"Battle. Start!"

When the Konoha referee announced the battle, on the duel field, Nagi Igarashi almost disappeared from Jiraiya's sight along with his figure.

Whoosh!

On the huge duel arena, suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing, and flying dust was raised around Jiraiya.

"It's pretty fast."

The Third Hokage looked at Nagi Igarashi's actions in the arena, and also commented a little bit. Although Sand Ninja Village was established in the Land of Wind, not many ninjas in Sand Ninja Village are good at wind escape, and the same is true for physical skills.

Therefore, there are very few ninjas like this girl in the sand ninja village, which means that in the sand ninja village, there are very few ninjas who can guide Igarashi Nagi.

There is no doubt that Nagi Igarashi is a genius.

Among the current candidates, Tsunade is the only one who can compare with Nagi Igarashi in terms of speed.

However, what the third generation wants to see more is what kind of method this little guy Jiraiya plans to use to deal with this kind of enemy who is good at speed.

Under his gaze, as Nagi Igarashi's figure disappeared into place, Jiraiya's hands also began to seal quickly.

"Earth Dungeon Yellow Spring Volcano!"

Jiraiya also completed the knot seal at an extremely fast speed, squatted down, and pressed his palms on the ground.

woohoo!

In an instant, except for the small area where Jiraiya was standing, the hard ground within a diameter of one meter around him suddenly turned into a dark mud swamp, and in the swamp, mud flows upward like squeezed water. ,Ups and downs.

At the moment when Jiraiya's ninjutsu was completed, Nagi Igarashi appeared in his direction at three o'clock.

"The little girl thinks too much. If she directly uses the advantage of speed to attack me, maybe the effect will be better." Jilai also turned his head to look at the girl who was forced to stop outside his ninjutsu, and chuckled inwardly. smiled.

If it is a battle under normal conditions, Nagi Igarashi will definitely give full play to his own speed advantage at the beginning of the battle, competing with himself for the attack rhythm.

But after Nagi Igarashi learned about him in advance, especially what happened in the second Chunin exam, out of fear of him, he chose the most cautious fighting method.

She wanted to take advantage of her speed first to observe Jiraiya's fighting style and habits.

"The printing speed is really fast."

Nagi Igarashi frowned slightly, she realized at this moment that she seemed to be too careful, but this temptation was not completely fruitless.

Using the advantage of speed to make the opponent lose its own position, and then carry out a surprise attack, this is also one of the fighting methods commonly used by ninjas who are good at speed.

Especially right now, this is not a real battle, but an exam. Before the exam starts, the distance between the opponent and himself is very close.

This in itself is a potential advantage of a ninja like Nagi Igarashi. Even if she doesn't attack Jiraiya directly, if the opponent's seal speed is a little slower or the reaction is not enough, she will be defeated by her directly.

So under normal circumstances, Jilai should also choose to use the instant body technique to slightly increase the distance between himself and himself.

But he chose to stand directly on the spot without moving a step.

"Choose to form a seal when I came up and didn't back off in the slightest. This shows that he knew from the beginning that I would do this. Why?"

Nagi Igarashi then thought of this level again. She stared at the calm boy standing in the ninjutsu center, and suddenly felt that she was seen through by those lazy eyes.
Even when Nagi Igarashi observed Jiraiya through ninjutsu, Jiraiya raised his head and glanced at the side of the high platform in the waiting area, his eyes were fixed on Tsunade here.

Although the expression on Tsunade's face was flat, there was an abyss-like depth in his eyes.

He promised Tsunade to fight this battle for her.

"Ugh."

Jiraiya sighed, then turned his gaze back, and whispered to the girl in front of him, "Sorry, this battle can't be delayed."

His palm that was pressed on the ground suddenly burst out with a strong chakra.

The moment the chakra strengthened, the ground in the direction of Nagi Igarashi turned into a large swamp instantly.

Swish!
Nagi Igarashi was also always on guard against this possibility, so the moment Jiraiya's ninjutsu range expanded instantly, she had already pushed her speed to the limit.

In the blink of an eye, Nagi Igarashi had already moved five meters to the left, but even so, the ground around her feet was still muddy, and she would fall into Jiraiya's torment in the range of surgery.

"so close."

Nagi Igarashi's forehead was sweating, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Jiraiya's ninjutsu didn't hit her, the opponent must have spent a considerable amount of chakra to turn such a large area of ​​ground into a swamp.

This is definitely a huge advantage for Nagi Igarashi in the next battle.

However, just when Nagi Igarashi was thinking this way, he subconsciously glanced at other parts of his body from the corner of his eyes.

Immediately, her pupils shrank suddenly.

It was only then that Nagi Igarashi realized that, except where she was standing, the one-meter-diameter ground around her seemed to have turned into a dark swamp.

Gududu!
In the mud, the mud flow seemed to be heated and boiled, and the next moment it rose suddenly, completely sealing Nagi Igarashi in ninjutsu.

Nagi Igarashi lowered his eyes, and then swung the dagger in his hand, quickly cutting off the gradually sharp mud flow around him.

But even with the dagger attached to the wind escape chakra, it will take a certain amount of time to clean up these mud flows.

"Tu Dun·Heart Beheading Technique!"

At this time, Jilai had also disappeared in place. When Nagi Igarashi was about to successfully cut off the mud flow in front of her and opened up a path, there was already a hand holding her ankle under the mud. , pulling Nagi Igarashi into the quagmire.

Immediately afterwards, the swamp around Nagi Igarashi disappeared in an instant and turned back to the hard ground. Her entire body was buried in the ground, leaving only her head exposed.

After doing this, Jiraiya broke through the ground in front of Nagi Igarashi and appeared.

He held his head and turned to leave.

"Sorry, but the battle is over."
