Chapter 354: Sterilizing and Relieving Itching
It is very regrettable that this superb taijutsu contest, which was far beyond the level of genin, came to nothing. The process was exciting enough, but the result ended with one party abstaining from the contest.
Moreover, this was Metkay's decision as a teacher, and Xiao Li himself could not refuse.
According to the standards of these two passionate masters and apprentices, this approach is undoubtedly very, extremely un-youthful, but there is no way, the reality is like this, and hard work may not lead to victory.
The result was always sad for Xiao Li, but fortunately, there was still a little tenderness from the teacher. After the two hugged each other and cried a lot, and shared some philosophical truths together, Xiao Li finally cheered up again... It was an emotional boost, but physically he couldn't stand up at this point.
After the battle, the side effects of Eight Gate Dunjia have begun to show. After using this trick, it is a rule to rush to the street.
On the contrary, it seems that Kimimaro's condition is much better on the surface. His loss in this battle was a complete set of outer clothes... No matter how you try, you can't take off your clothes first when using the corpse veins, right? Even if you can take off your shirt, you can't take off your pants.
But although he looked like he was fine, he was actually in worse condition. After the exam, he had to go to Tsunade for a biopsy study to see if there were any deeper changes in his physical condition.
The battle seemed a bit anticlimactic, but everyone could understand it. After all, both parties fighting were Konoha ninjas, and there was no need to fight in front of people from other villages.
Why are you so excited to show off your blood?
This battle invisibly raised the high-end level of the Chunin Exam. The previous competition between the two was okay, after all, it was over, but the subsequent battle of victory would be miserable, and everyone would find it a bit boring.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
In terms of victory or defeat, although Xiao Li lost, no one would think that he was weak, but anyone with a brain would understand that this genin's taijutsu level could basically abuse most of the candidates present, even if he loses , but in fact he was just "rejected". If it comes to the end, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.
In short, in terms of results, the genin that successfully advanced to the final assessment include Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Neji, Gaara, Uchiha Sasuke, Aburame Shino, Yamanaka Ino, Temari, Nara Shikamaru, Uzumaki Mirai, and Kimimaro.
The arrangement for the subsequent competition will still be to fight in groups of two until the final winner is determined.
Judging from the list of promotions and those who passed, the initial arrangement of the competition was definitely suspected of behind-the-scenes manipulation. Konoha could probably come up with a gimmick of Uchiha Orphan vs. Son of the Fourth Kazekage to attract important people to watch the final. Maybe someone will make a black disk and start gambling because of this matter.
Well, this matter actually had little to do with Hagoromo, and he didn't care. Mainly because no one in Konoha is stupid enough to have something like the fourth generation Hokage's daughter versus the fourth generation Kazekage's son... There is nothing inherently wrong with such a contest. The only trouble is that you can't let Mirai play. It would be too crazy to compete and have a group of people watch the monkey show and then judge it.
If that kind of thing really happened, Hagoromo could take down all the people involved in the arrangements for the Chunin Exam competition in a matter of minutes. The reasons were all ready and aboveboard. What was the intention of putting the Yondaime's daughter in front of the One-Tail Jinchuuriki? Why don't you quickly explain which country you are a spy for?
There is about a month between the final selection of the Chunin Examination and the preliminaries held on this day, which means that after the first two exams are over, the ninjas from other villages who have passed will have to stay in Konoha for a long time... ...Of course, the so-called "ninjas from other villages" at this time can actually refer to Suna ninja specifically, because except for Konoha and Sunagakure, all ninjas from other villages have already rushed to the streets.
In the end, the two major ninja villages closed their doors and played this exam by themselves.
However, during the period between the two exams, although the Sunagakure ninjas were stranded in Konoha, they were very honest even with the guidance of consultant Granny Chiyo.
For Chiyo personally, she did not expect that her archenemy Tsunade had really returned to Konoha at this time. This was what she had seen with her own eyes, so her threat had dropped by more than one level.
For the entire Sunagakure, Konoha at this time has the Sandaime Hokage, Tsunade and Jiraiya among the three ninjas, and Shiroyasha who will cause trouble on his own if you don't mess with him, so consider the battle between the two sides. Due to the power gap, as long as Feng Ying's brain is not distracted, he will not take the initiative to do some messy things.
Therefore, things like Sunagakure's "Konoha Collapse Plan" never existed. Otherwise, they would only be the unlucky ones. Everyone can still see this.
In fact, Sunagakure didn't have any additional plans. Their purpose was simply to come here to take the chuunin exam, and they would leave after the exam and never look back.
It was another person who had an agenda.
…………
If Xiao Li used the Eight Gate Dungeon to prove himself in situations like the Chuunin Exam, then Kimimaro's use of the Bone Pulse was more of an "experimental" nature.
"The blood limit is harmful to users" is more of a conjecture. There is no definite evidence. Does it have such negative effects? If so, to what extent? It is still unknown and further verification is needed. Tsunade at least needs some experimental data to better prescribe the right medicine.
These data can only be obtained by Kimimaro using the corpse veins several times, so he can release it when he releases it.
In the evening just after the Chunin Examination, Hagoromo and Kimimaro appeared inside Konoha Hospital, and Tsunade was also here.
"So, have you found any traces of Orochimaru these days?" Tsunade asked Hagoromo about Orochimaru's situation while doing a detailed blood analysis for Kimimaro.
Orochimaru had offended Tsunade badly because he had brought his grandfather out. What's more, his identity as the next Hokage's successor also made him pay special attention to the activities of S-class dangerous elements like Orochimaru.
"Nothing has been discovered yet." Hagoromo said. This is the truth. It is indeed difficult to find traces of Orochimaru when he deliberately hides him.
When Yuyi said this, one of his eyes was staring in a certain direction outside the window.
What left him speechless was that the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue left by the First Hokage was really moved into Konoha. Could it be that this ninja hidden village really wanted to build an attraction to develop tourism? Well, you should be able to make a lot of money.
"I have a hunch that he is still around Konoha. Can he be found before the Chunin Exam is over?" she said again.
"All I can say is to do this as much as possible..." Hagoromo was stunned for a long time, and then he realized that he shouldn't say this nonsense. When did looking for Orochimaru become his job? He has never taken on such a task.
"In short, the faster the better. It would be too dangerous to let him move freely... Even if Orochimaru cannot be captured, he must be driven away from the village." As a former teammate of Orochimaru, Tsunade naturally understands what he is. This kind of person, and without the constraints of certain rules, he will only get worse.
"How is Kimimaro's situation?" After talking about Orochimaru, Hagoromo finally turned the topic back to Kimimaro.
Although it was Kimimaro's own business, he could only listen but not speak in front of the two bosses.
"The situation is much better than I expected," Tsunade said. After thinking for a while, she came up with a hypothesis, "Based on your description, I guess it may be related to the use of Thunder Release. It seems that when the two are used together, , Lei Dun has a certain reverse inhibitory effect, which can prevent the side effects caused by the excessive proliferation of corpse veins... You handled it well, Hagoromo."
Yuyi: "..."
This is none of his business, and it wasn't because of this that he taught Kimimaro Thunderbolt... was it a mistake?
"Where, where..."
But since Sister Tsunade praised him so much, Hagoromo still humbly admitted it.
Well, Kimimaro's bones go in and out after all, so when used together with Lei Dun, the latter can at least have a sterilizing and antipruritic effect, right? .
