Red Dust

Probably realized that this is the last game to decide the promotion places.

Chi, who has a seal on both hands, performs ninjutsu with a fairly ample chakra.

"Separation technique!"

Against experienced ninjas, the avatar technique is not very useful, but for Nara Shikamaru, who does not have the blood and limit Hitomitsu, he can only judge which is the main body and which is the avatar based on combat experience.

What's more, Qian is still an illusion ninja, not only an insubstantial clone, but also the illusions brought by the secret medicine illusion from time to time, all interfering with Nara Shikamaru's decision.

"Aren't you close!"

Nara Shikamaru kept throwing kunai, testing the possible existence of Sen's body, but found nothing.

"It's going to happen like this."

No matter how high the IQ is, there is no room for exertion, and there is nothing to do.

The shadow secret technique of the Nara family is about a surprise, who has seen it more than once, so it is natural to take precautions.

The smell of chakra, which exudes a strange fragrance in the air, is getting stronger and stronger. Not surprisingly, as time goes by, the influence of illusion on oneself will become greater and greater. If it goes on like this, the odds of winning will become smaller and smaller.

The most terrible thing is that it is night. In order to ensure sufficient light in the room, the lights illuminate almost every corner of the room, and there is no shadow that can be used.

"Since there is none, you can only find a way and take the initiative to attack."

Nara Shikamaru, who had drawn out a bunch of hidden weapons, kept moving and threw Kunai with a detonating talisman.

It can not only clean up the illusion clone, but also open up a safe passage for oneself.

"What a rich kid!"

Chi, who was constantly dodging attacks and explosions with hidden weapons, had a smaller space for movement. Some of the scattered hidden weapons were still tied with thin steel wires. With Nara Shikamaru's manipulation, they occasionally changed directions.

But unfortunately, Nara Shikamaru's hidden weapon throwing doesn't seem to be so precise, and remote control with a wire rope is far from being proficient.

Looking at the dazzling lights overhead, Nara Shikamaru was slightly refreshed.

"The sense of direction is a bit inaccurate. This is the first time that the illusion has been released? 』

If you don't lay the foundation for victory while your five senses are still reliable, there is no chance.

Nara Shikamaru, who could roughly determine the position of the opponent's body, used his last strength to rush forward, shooting his shuriken in all directions, not trying to hurt the enemy, just limited his actions.

The vigilant Chi evaded away, and suddenly stepped on the shadow of a wire connecting the shuriken and Nara Shikamaru's fingers, and suddenly couldn't move.

The demagogic hallucinations and avatars disappeared before his eyes, and a successful smile appeared on Nara Shikamaru's face.

"Under such light conditions, how can there be shadows on the steel wire? You are too careless!"

The slender shadows change, connecting between Chi and Nara Shikamaru,

"Shadow imitation, success."

"Have you been recruited?"

Qian, who originally thought that he had a good chance of winning, did not expect that he would be caught by the shadow secret technique.

Nara Shikamaru, who was half-kneeling tiredly, made a seal on his hands, gathered chakra, and suppressed Chien's resistance.

"Shadow binding is not impossible to break free, but with your strength, it should be impossible."

"Get out? You think too much!"

A wry smile appeared on Qian's face,

"I'm just thinking about how to end up gracefully!"

As Qian said, the white velvet iron fan held by both hands suddenly burst into a white flame, which quickly burned until only a black fan bone remained.

Accompanied by the flames, an unpleasant smell wafts in the air.

"Did you know? In fact, including pollen, many aroma components are flammable and explosive. You have used so many detonators, but none of them react, just because an important catalyst is missing."

"What did you say?"

Nara Shikamaru, whose face changed greatly, didn't have time to react, and a mass of orange flames rose up, covering everything off the field with the roar of the explosion.

Even Daimaru was stunned by the sudden development of such a calm battle.

The explosion that swept over half of the arena dissipated after a few seconds, the dust settled, and Qian, who was at the center of the explosion, fell to the ground in pitch black, motionless.

Nara Shikamaru, who was blown away by the shock wave, seemed to be a little conscious. He lay down on his back and struggled with his hands and feet for a while, but in the end, his injuries were so severe that he fainted.

Under the coverage of such an explosion, it is strange that Chiwa Nara Shikamaru can escape.

Moonlight Gale stepped forward, checked the injuries of the two, coughed twice and announced:

"Because both of them were in a coma and couldn't fight, in this round, there was no winner, and both of them were eliminated."

In theory, Nara Shikamaru still has a chance to challenge, but looking at him like this, there is no need to ask for anything more.

So far, the third trial preselection has officially ended, and a total of nine people have advanced.

Konoha Ninja: Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Pharmacist Pocket, Oil Girl Shino, Hyuga Neji.

Sand Shinobi: Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and Daimaru.

If you don't count the out-of-specification spy pharmacist in the Ninja Village, Daimaru is the oldest of all the candidates, followed by Temari, who is slightly younger, and Kankuro.

The others are little brothers who have graduated from ninja school no more than two years ago.

The medical team began to enter the field to deal with the injuries for Chiwa Nara Shikamaru.

"It's over, I'll go see Qian..."

As a teammate, it's hard to ignore at this time.

The level of the Konoha medical class is indeed much higher than the level of Sha Yincun. The medical ninjas of Sha Ren have a so-so level of detoxification, so don't expect too much from others.

When the injury was urgently treated, Qianji Yoyo woke up.

"Damaru?"

When I opened my eyes, I saw Daimaru looking at me beside me,

"I... lost again?"

"The other side didn't win either."

"Well, in the end, it's still this shameful appearance, which made you laugh!"

"Fortunately, I looked at it, and I didn't look broken, but my head looked a little burnt..."

"Then...you're really lucky!"

For girls, taking care of their hair is as important as taking care of their face.

"It will be back to normal in a few months."

The only friend who knew each other and grew up together was injured, Temari also stepped forward, stroked the charred black hair in front of Qian Qian's forehead, and wiped the black ashes on his face.

"Your battle is over, rest in peace."

"Well! You two, come on!"

After speaking, the girl who seemed unwilling was carried away on a stretcher.

Chapter 0081 Dazhiruoyu?

The third trial preselection, which was much longer than expected, finally came to an end.The moonlight blast gathered the remaining candidates and lined them up.

Only about one-third of the original 24 candidates were left. Such an elimination rate is already relatively high.

Next, Hokage III introduced the basic situation of the third test, and gave a month for all candidates to make targeted preparations.

Unlike the first two exams, the third exam did not have too many chances. It was an arena where the Genin candidates needed to show their full strength in order to win.

At the same time, one month is also a buffer period for notifying the leaders of various countries, daimyo and other nobles to watch the Chunin Exam.

After a few words of encouragement, it was the group draw for the third trial.

In the end, the candidates' numbers and matchups still did not exceed Daimaru's expectations.

From No. [-] to No. [-], they are Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, Gaara, Sasuke Uchiha, Kankuro, Shino Oil Girl, Temari, Pharmacist Pocket, and Daimaru.

"I'm the last one, really..."

Against the situation, it was only the pharmacist pocket that replaced the number of Dossan, and the Daimaru replaced the position of Nara Shikamaru.

The first is the internal struggle between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga's Konoha Village, the next is Gaara and Sasuke Uchiha, Kankuro and Shino, and as for Daimaru, nominally, they have to fight Yakushi Tou one more time. , the winner will compete with Temari for the top four.

But Yakushidou, the spy of the sound ninja village, obviously won't waste energy in the chunin exam anymore.

In this way, if Sasuke Uchiha can't arrive on time according to his memory, and the game with Gaara is postponed, the game between Temari and Daimaru will definitely be played ahead of schedule.

After the explanation, the three generations of Naruto Sarutobi announced the disbandment, and Hatake Kakashi immediately left with Uchiha Sasuke.

The rest are also taken away by their respective teachers.

Only Daimaru silently went to the medical class in Konoha Village and hurried to receive treatment.

At least half of the month will be spent in a hospital bed or wheelchair.

That night, Daimaru, who was given anesthesia, did not know what surgery the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital performed on him. Anyway, when he woke up the next day, it was already bright.

On the window sill, stood a familiar figure, the captain of the sound wind, whom he had not seen for several days.

Sensing Daimaru's movement, Tokaze turned around.

"The Konoha Ninja is really powerful. It's not wrong to say that you will probably wake up at this time!"

Daimaru struggled to sit up, his arms and legs seemed to be immobilized by plasterboards, bandages all over his body, and a brace to protect his neck.

"Am I alright? It looks very serious, will I miss the Chunin exam in a month's time?"

"Relax, you can reluctantly exercise after ten days, but whether you can return to your peak state after a month depends on your physique, no one can say for sure, but..."

"I'm also a puppet master anyway. Even if I don't have a good body, I still have a good fighting ability. The influence is there, but it's not decisive!"

In ten days, Daimaru can still afford to wait, which is much better than expected.

"It's fine if you understand, and besides..."

Tono wind took out a huge scroll and handed it over.

"This……"
