Naruto's Endless Pretense

With Temari abstaining, Sakura won the second match and successfully advanced to the next round.As Temari said, this time Sakura won.

But in their hearts, the victory or defeat of Zheng Zhen probably has nothing to do with the victory or defeat of the Chunin Exam.I’m afraid only the person involved knows who lost and who won...

Although the audience present did not see clearly, at least they knew one thing.That is, Kakashi's seventh team has been promoted to two people, and they are not from the most powerful Uchiha clan.

This further increased everyone's expectations for Sasuke.It's just that Sasuke hasn't appeared so far, which makes the place feel inexplicably anxious.

In the first game of the second group, the match between Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shino started under such circumstances.

"It's really troublesome, and it's the type I'm least good at."

Shikamaru looked at Shino who was wearing sunglasses and was wrapped tightly around his body, and scratched his head in pain.

Shikamaru is an intellectual ninja, and he did a lot of research in the past month.The Aburame clan is not unknown in Konoha, and the reputation of the insect warriors is still very high.It's just that Shino is a relatively mysterious person. Even through Hinata and Kiba, who are in the same class, Shikamaru didn't get much valuable information.

Being able to control parasites is a huge threat to Shikamaru.The Nara clan's shadow secret technique can control the enemy's actions, but even if it controls Shino's body, it cannot stop the insect's attack.

There is no technique to restrain the opponent, nor does he know the opponent's weakness.To be honest, with Shikamaru's lazy personality, he almost wanted to give up.

"But I'm sorry, Shino, I can't just admit defeat. I have to at least hold on until Sasuke arrives at the scene."

After Shikamaru and Shino, it's Sasuke's match.If Sasuke doesn't show up by the time of the competition, he will be disqualified according to the rules.

"And how to say it."

Shikamaru formed a seal with his hands, and the shadow under his feet quickly deformed and extended to Shino's feet.

"I kind of want that guy to see my growth in the past few years."

As Shikamaru, who was the first to discover that Sasuke was different, he actually had an inexplicable friendship with Sasuke.It was only the subsequent division of classes that gradually alienated the two.

"I agree with you, and I will do my best."

Shino, who was restrained by the shadow, did not panic, and his body dissipated little by little.It is the secret technique of the Aburame clan, the insect clone.Shino's true form had arrived behind Shikamaru at some point.

Shikamaru also noticed and started fighting Shino at close range.Weakness in physical skills is probably the biggest weakness of the Aburame clan.But he forgot about the insect that formed the insect clone before.

After these bugs dissipated, they re-condensed into a bug clone near Shikamaru, and collided with the original Shino to crash into Shikamaru at the same time.Iron Mountain Kick, this is Shino's only taijutsu move.

"Seize the opportunity."

Shikamaru, who was flanked, instantly used the Substitute Technique to transfer himself into the air, and then concentrated chakra on the soles of his feet to stand on the wall.Condescendingly, Shikamaru took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his ninja bag and swayed it into the air, then quickly formed a seal.

Si-chen-mao-yin, Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!

The fire dragon, which was originally just a straight line, immediately burned violently when it encountered the liquid in the air.Shikamaru further increased the output of chakra, and the flames expanded and directly covered half of the field, wrapping Shino inside.

"Although the area of ​​the technique has become larger, the corresponding power has also become weaker."

Shino used the Insect Wall Technique, causing parasitic insects to hover around his body at high speed, easily blocking the impact of the flames.A row of kunai flew out of the smoke in the shape of a zodiac sign, and Shino also dodged it as a bug substitute.

"Shikamaru, there's nothing you can do against my bugs. Although your flames had a wide range and burned many bugs to death."

Shino gently raised his hand, and sporadic bugs suddenly flew out of the wall, which continued to gather on Shikamaru's body and began to erode Shikamaru's chakra.

"But you took too long. I've already planted bugs all over the place. Give up."

Shino is the same type of ninja as Shikamaru, and he has judged his strengths very early.As long as the bug can catch Shikamaru, he wins.

Shikamaru's chakra was eroded by parasitic insects and he could no longer maintain the stability of chakra under his feet. He fell directly from the wall before the smoke dissipated.

But after a while, Shikamaru stood up again, shaking, and the parasites on his body fell off one after another.

"How could it be possible? The bugs can't be controlled!"

Shino couldn't believe what he was seeing and tried to use the insect again, but he was horrified to find that except

After removing the bugs still in the body, other bugs became disobedient.

"Don't waste your efforts. Judging from the situation, all your bugs should have gone into shock and passed out."

Shikamaru let out a big breath, looking like he was sure of victory.

"My bottle is filled with strong liquor. Although it looks similar, it is not actually used to expand the range of fire escape."

"In that bottle of wine, I added a lot of poison to deal with insects. Once the flames evaporated, it spread throughout the venue." Shikamaru said and waved his hand.

"I didn't know if your parasites were resistant to antibiotics, so I just did it with the idea of ​​giving it a try. Unexpectedly, it actually worked."

"Humph, don't be so proud. You haven't won yet!"

Shino tried to wave his hand to release all the bugs in his body and surround Shikamaru, but he couldn't make any move.

"Shadow binding technique, when!"

Shino glanced at the surroundings with his peripheral vision and discovered that the kunai that Shikamaru had shot in the smoke was actually connected to the medical bandage that was set on fire. The other end of the bandage was also tied with a kunai and inserted into the wall.

The Nara clan can let their shadows move freely among other shadows. Shikamaru's shadow caught him from the shadows of these bandages.It's close to noon, and the shadow of even a slender bandage is very clear under the direct sunlight.

"Did you fall off the wall just to divert my attention? I was careless." Shino said with admiration.

"But just because I can't move doesn't mean my bugs can't move, right? It was your miscalculation that you didn't consider the bugs in my body, Shikamaru."

"I told you, dealing with your bugs is just a try."

Faced with the insects controlled by Shino, Shikamaru did not panic.Just by changing the seal in his hand, a black arm appeared in the shadow that originally restrained Shino and strangled Shino's neck.

Secret Technique·Shadow Strangulation Technique, this is an advanced secret technique that took Shikamaru a month to learn from his father.

"And just in case, I added the detonating talisman to the kunai I threw before. It's not far away from you now. Do you want to test its power?"

The first match of the second group, Shikamaru Nara VS Shino Aburame, ended with Shikamaru winning.However, he also paid a heavy price as Shino's bug absorbed too much chakra.It is estimated that he will not be able to cope with the second round of competition.

If there is a second round.

"Then for the next game, please invite Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Neji to the venue."

Summoned by the examiner holding a toothpick in his mouth, Neji quickly arrived at the field, but there was no one on the opposite side.

"Why aren't you here, Sasuke? Otherwise, why would I have to work so hard?" Shikamaru complained without interest.

"Don't worry." Naruto said firmly. "He will definitely come."

In the center of the stands, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage were discussing this matter.Although the Third Generation wanted to disqualify Sasuke in accordance with the regulations, under the strong request of the Kazekage, he decided to wait for Sasuke and postpone his competition to a later date.

It was originally the second round of the second group's competition, and there was only one choice after that: let Hyuga Neji and Gaara compete first, and the winner would then face off against Sasuke.

It directly changed the ranking of Sasuke's disadvantages into the optimal ranking.If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not be willing to do so. This is no longer changing the order of the game, but an act that is close to cheating.

But Gaara is not an ordinary person, he doesn't care about this.

"Okay, maybe it would make more sense for me to kill you before defeating Uchiha Sasuke."

Gaara stared at Neji without restraining the bloody murderous aura on his body.Neji was not frightened either. The veins around his eyes were exposed and he performed the Bagua Fist moves.

"Really? Then let me see the power of Sandstorm Gaara."

The genius of Hinata, the most powerful clan in Konoha, faced off against the son of Suna Ninja Kazekage, which made the atmosphere lively.

As the fighting spirit surged, Gaara was the first to lose control and controlled the quicksand to surround Neji.Neji did not dodge, but raised his right hand, and a large amount of chakra spurted out from the acupuncture points in his palm.

Seeing that the dense chakra shock wave of Bagua Kongzhang and Gaara's sand were about to collide, an ice wall suddenly rose up between Neji and Gaara, blocking the attacks from both sides.

Then a trident kunai flew from a distance and was inserted into the ice wall. A Konoha ninja wearing a white cloak appeared out of thin air and held the kunai.

"I'm so sorry, I've lost my way on the road of life."

Uchiha Sasuke, enter!
