Naruto's Endless Pretense

"What, what on earth is this?"

Sakura swallowed unconsciously as she watched Xiang Rin murmur to herself.

Once the curse seal state covers the whole body, it will form state two.In the second state, the user's strength and speed will undergo a qualitative leap. In addition to being gradually eroded by this power, the body will also undergo changes.Like Kimimaro's tail and the horns on Sakon's head.

It's also the water chaos technique, but Xiang Rin's is much better than Sakura's.Moreover, although Xianglin's body was not completely covered by the curse seal, black and white wings grew out of her back. Sakura recognized it at a glance as the second state of the curse seal. This was not enough to make Sakura lose her composure.

What really shocked and confused Sakura was the technique used by Xianglin.There is no need for complicated seals, just the Mao seal that maintains water escape, and you can control the water flow as you like.Manipulating water flow like Gaara, the Sand user, manipulates sand, this ability should be unique to Sasuke.

"Did you give that technique to her?"

Tsunade in the stands asked eagerly, not caring about being angry with Sasuke.

In the eyes of the outside world, Sasuke's genius lies not only in his extraordinary learning ability but also in his unique ability to innovate.From the basic three body techniques to fire and water techniques, Sasuke has developed many personal techniques, which are usually more flexible and more powerful.

The top brass of Konoha once hoped that Sasuke could teach these techniques to others, which would be a major change that could enhance the overall strength of Konoha ninjas.It's a pity that Sasuke was unwilling at first, but later found that others could not learn these techniques, and the test subject at that time was Xiang Rin.Later Konoha gave up on this idea.

Now that Sasuke's subordinates have seen the water control technique that even the second generation Hokage couldn't do, it is self-evident what this means.But Tsunade is not just excited about this. As a master, the most gratifying thing is that the disciple can pass on the way of ninja.

"Well, Xianglin's curse mark is a bit special. Just look at her 'wings'."

Sasuke pointed to the black and white wings on Xiang Rin's back that broke through his clothes. They were different from the changes in the second state of other curse seal holders.Not real wings, unable to fly, but not just fleshy tissue.There is a thick layer of chakra-shaped feathers on it.

"This curse seal is fused with my cells, so in a sense, Xianglin now owns a part of me, so she can use many of my abilities. Of course, the blood inheritance limit is impossible .”

"That's it."

Tsunade sighed after hearing this.Since it is an ability obtained from a curse seal, it must not be promoted on a large scale.Not to mention whether Sasuke's curse seal has any side effects, the one-tenth survival rate of planting the curse seal is already prohibitive.

"But don't worry. Although it's only been a month, I have tried my best to teach Xianglin everything I know. What I didn't have time to teach was written on the scroll for her to study on her own."

Sasuke looked worriedly but proudly at Xianglin in the field.

"Now Xianglin can be said to be my successor."

"What? What do you mean by that?"

Tsunade instinctively felt that there was something in Sasuke's words, but the changes in the game left her no time to continue asking Sasuke.In the venue, the waterspouts gathered above Xianglin's head were getting bigger and bigger, almost covering the entire venue.

"No way, have you even learned this trick?"

Sakura looked up at the water dragon that kept roaring at her, feeling the breeze caused by the high-speed rotation of the water, and the despair in her heart kept pouring out like a tide.

Immortal method·The moisture of heaven.This is an S-level forbidden technique developed by Sasuke on the basis of Water Release and Water Heart Jutsu. Its destructive power once turned the entire Chunin Examination venue into a vast ocean.Although the water dragon created by Xianglin was much smaller in scale, its power was definitely not something that he could compete with.

[With such an opponent, there is nothing that can be done about losing. 】

Raising her right hand tremblingly, Sakura looked at Kakashi standing at the exit.Kakashi looked at him with the same helpless look, and it seemed that admitting defeat was the only option.

"Sakura, what are you doing! Didn't we agree to catch up with Sasuke together? How can we be here?

Give up!Give me your usual training! "

Naruto's sudden cry made Sakura stunned for a moment.At the same time, Temari suddenly shouted while holding on to the fence.

"Sakura! Don't lose to other women before you lose to me!"

Yes, why have you been working silently for so long?To become stronger?

Yes, I just want to become stronger, I just want Sasuke to see me and be able to stand by his side with my own abilities.

However, this is not the case.The self that kept working hard just wanted to defeat the self that was always slacking off in the past, the self that was just thinking about the useless date when Naruto could grit his teeth and chase Sasuke, and the self that slowly faded out of Sasuke's life after returning from the Land of Snow.Maybe this is a kind of cowardice, temporarily letting go of one's emotions, but if you give in here, will everything you have done before be in vain?

Wouldn't that be more cowardly than just shying away from Sasuke with low self-esteem?

The raised right hand no longer trembled, but gave Naruto a thumbs up.This handsome gesture made Naruto and Sasuke in the central stand smile with relief at the same time.

"This is right, this is what you are like, Sakura. Now let me see your growth in the past six months!"

Once I corrected my beliefs, I was just mentally refreshed.This is not the era of Shippuden where all output depends on roaring. Fighting with just one breath will be like Hinata fighting Neji. Even if he lives up to his expectations, he will inevitably lose.If you want to survive the crisis, you must have corresponding strengths and countermeasures.

Sakura put her right fist back into her abdomen and began to concentrate.There is no flaw in the Heavenly Water Technique yet, so she can only do her best.But what Sakura doesn't know is that her chances are actually quite good.

Sasuke's curse seal is much more effective than Orochimaru's curse seal.There are gains and losses. Xianglin obtained the qualification to become a pretender, and at the same time, the curse seal also placed a great burden on her.The rejection reactions of different tissues will explode in the second state, and using the incomplete curse seal to use the wet bone forest magic that can only be used with the immortal body is actually a kind of damage to her body.To overcome this, the only way is to adapt to it by using curse seals regularly.

A month is really too little time. Before Xianglin exercises and adapts to a strong enough fairy body, 5 minutes is already her current limit.This is the result of Xiang Lin's hard training.You must know that Xianglin's weakness was not just an act when entering the arena.

That was a severe side effect of using the curse seal.

Sakura didn't know that victory could be achieved by stalling for time.In Sakura's eyes, the seemingly invincible Kaoru is no longer an opponent in the Chunin Exam, which is a test of her long-term training.

Concentrate, recall Tsunade's usual instructions in your mind, and simulate the jutsu you once imagined.Wrapping chakra around her hands to form a thin film, Sakura rushed towards Xiang Rin at a speed barely visible with her dynamic vision.

"It's ridiculous. I already told you that this is a magic technique I learned from Sasuke-sama!"

Xiang Lin sneered and moved slightly, and part of the water in the waterspout surrounded Xiang Lin, forming a transparent cover.This is the original form of the Water Heart Jutsu, and it can be done even without the use of senjutsu chakra.Before the water in the sky is ready, Xianglin plans to use this to defend against Sakura's attack.

Putting aside the excessive consumption of chakra, if there is a weakness in Immortal Magic: Water of the Sky, it is the caster himself.This technique requires a lot of changes in the form of chakra, and the caster must maintain his energy to control the ninjutsu.

For Sasuke, who is proficient in the flying thunder god technique, this is not a weakness, but for Xianglin, this is a flaw.Sakura caught this flaw, and Kaoru also discovered this, so she used the Demi-Water Jutsu to build a layer of water to protect herself.

Even if Senjutsu Chakra is not used, the water layer of Suiyin no Jutsu is still a B-level defensive ninjutsu, which cannot be broken by a mere fist.But Xianglin didn't know that what Sakura waved was not a simple fist.

"Mysterious Sakura Chong!"

Sakura simply landed a straight punch on the layer of water created by Kaoru.The water layer dented and twisted like a squeezed balloon. The next moment, with a loud sound like an explosion, the water layer burst.

The water splashes in all directions, like flying petals.
