Konoha's Hidden World

Hearing the whispers from the side, the Sandaime's face gradually became serious. As the organizer of this chuunin exam, the genius genin of Konohagakure's generation was actually late, which really made the Sandaime feel a little embarrassed.

"According to the previous handling method, it is disqualification. You see..."

Namizu Raido continued to suggest to the Sandaime. It is not surprising that Namiashi Raido suggested this. As the organizer, if there is a problem with the players on his side, he must take a strict attitude, not only towards Sasuke and Kakashi. Punishment was also done to these famous people who came to watch the battle.

The Sandaime looked at the increasingly noisy auditorium and sighed...

"Then take..."

"No need, just move the match between Sasuke and Gaara back."

Just when the Sandaime was about to announce that Sasuke would be disqualified, the Kazekage on the side interrupted.

"I know what you are worried about, but you have to understand that the people who came to watch the game, including me, are here just for this game. Moreover, this is also to show the strength of our Sand Hidden Village..."

When the Sandaime heard the Kazekage's explanation, he smiled and waved his hand, asking Namizu Rai to do the same.

When the audience heard Genma Shiranui, as the referee, announce that the match between Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara would be temporarily postponed and the subsequent competition would proceed first, various expressions appeared on their faces.

There were ordinary spectators who were quiet because the competition finally started again, and those daimyo who were most looking forward to the contest between the Uchiha clan and Gaara and were slightly disappointed.

As well as the ninjas of Sunagakure Village who have evil intentions, but their plans have changed and they are in a bit of trouble.

"Then, in the next match, Kankuro will face Aburame Shino."

"I abstain..."

Before he finished speaking, Kankuro immediately raised his hand to signal the referee that his side would abstain.

"Very decisive..."

Xuanye put his hands on the fence and casually glanced at Kankuro who had given up. What was different from the strange glances around him was that there was a trace of panic on Kankuro's face as he gave up.

It can be clearly seen that Kankuro's abstention had a hidden reason.

"Then Aburame Shino wins without a fight. In the next match, Temari will face Nara Shikamaru."

The original plan was disrupted, Temari showed a hint of irritation on her pretty face, pulled out a giant fan from behind and waved towards the field.

Under Temari's unique mastery of wind escape, the wind blown out by the giant fan was like a gentle but thick palm, supporting Temari who jumped off the fence and gently placed her on the ground.

"Where is my opponent? Come down quickly."

Seeing Temari showing off her skills and her aggressive look, Shikamaru, who was the opponent in this battle, felt quite complicated at the moment.

"How come it's me all of a sudden? Is there any mistake? Moreover, my opponent looks so scary. Why is it like this as soon as I'm here? Otherwise, I might as well give up..."

Just when Shikamaru was still ranting in his head and almost ready to give up and run away...

"Come on, Shikamaru, come on."

Naruto directly pushed Shikamaru off the stands and fell headfirst. Fortunately, this was the magical world of Naruto. He fell headfirst from a height of about 6 stories. What happened? None, and even said dejected words with a helpless look.

Shikamaru's somewhat decadent look made Temari, his opponent in this battle, furious. She angrily pulled out her fan and rushed towards Shikamaru.

"It's really troublesome..."

Looking at Temari who was approaching him quickly, Shikamaru sighed and took out two kunai from his ninja bag. Just when Temari's powerful and heavy blow was about to hit Shikamaru, Shikamaru instantly jumped from his place. He disappeared, inserted the two kunai into the wall, and stepped firmly on the two kunai, looking down at Temari who missed the hit in a condescending manner.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Shikamaru, this guy is pretty good at pretending. It's my favorite part of domestic violence again."

Xuanye watched the fight between the two people off the field with relish. After getting used to the operation of reducing ten with one force, watching Konoha's tactics with IQ still had a different flavor.

Moreover, this was the beginning of Shikamaru and Temari's admiration for each other.

One is afraid of trouble and hides when possible, while the other is willing to take on responsibility and full of desire for control. They are really complementary personalities. What's more, the tracheitis passed down from generation to generation in the Nara clan is getting more and more interesting.

Although the Nara clan has never been good at one-on-one combat due to their secret skills, they are the best choice for field control and command.

But the current duel surprised all the ninjas.

Shikamaru's terrifying calculation ability of taking one step and seeing dozens of steps was fully reflected in this game. First, he used the shadow imitation technique to make Temari misjudge the limit distance of the shadow, catching Temari off guard.

Then he took advantage of the chaos and used smoke bombs to send a landing mountain made of his own clothes and kunai into the sky, pretending to fall when Temari was most relaxed, in order to increase the shadow area and force Temari to the position he finally calculated.

Finally, using the passage formed during the last duel between Naruto and Neji, he successfully controlled Temari's actions using the shadow imitation technique.

These few steps of operation really amaze everyone. With such powerful tactical arrangements and execution ability, he is fully capable of assuming the position of chuunin.

"I abstain."

"what?"

With the success of the strategy, everyone thought that Shikamaru had won the game firmly. However, he suddenly raised his hand to indicate that he would abstain, which also stunned the audience.

The one who reacted most violently was not the audience, but Temari who was being controlled. It was obvious that her movements had been restricted. It could be said that her tactics were completely defeated by her opponent in the competition.

"Regarding this, although my shadow imitation technique was successful, I have very little chakra left. I can only hold on for a few more minutes. After the technique is released, I really have no countermeasures."

After simply stating his situation, he unlocked the shadow imitation technique and waited for the referee's announcement.

"Then this competition will be won by Temari from Sunagakure Village."

When Shikamaru heard the referee's announcement, he shrugged and packed his things, then put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the stands without looking back, completely unaware of Temari's face which was a little bloodshot due to anger at this time.

"You really lost the game but won your life. Shikamaru is a good flirt."

Regardless of whether others have noticed it or not, Xuanye has discovered that Temari has already set her sights on Shikamaru at this moment. That strong competitive spirit will cause Temari to keep paying attention to Shikamaru. Hatred leads to love, which is interesting...

Not long after Shikamaru and Temari left the field, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the center of the field. Countless green leaves gradually gathered with the flow of the wind, forming a small whirlwind decorated with green leaves.

"Shadow Wuye? You two have tricked me again..."
