Red sand dust

The secret technique brought a surge of power to the body, which seemed to give Inuzuka Kiba a lot of confidence.

With Akamaru transforming into a clone of himself, and with their tacit cooperation, their combat effectiveness more than doubled.

Inuzuka Kiba, who habitually concentrated chakra in his nose, enhanced his already outstanding sense of smell tens of thousands of times.

With such preparation, you can also prevent yourself from being affected by illusions and be able to use your sense of smell to identify the enemy's location.

Unfortunately, some things are not as beautiful as imagined.

Inuzuka Kiba himself and Akamaru rushed towards Chi, who was waiting for him. As soon as they got close, they noticed the rich chakra permeating the surroundings.

Is it an illusion? 』

His thoughts moved slightly, and Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but smell it a few times with his nose. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable feeling rising from the bottom of his heart.

what happened? 』

Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru, who sensed something was wrong, had almost the same reaction. They slowed down and lost their direction dizzily. The genjutsu reaction was so serious that it was surprising.

idiot!

Daimaru restrained himself from spitting.

A ninja's greatest strength, if it happens to be countered, becomes its greatest weakness.

Outstanding sense of smell is the innate ability of Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru, but if they rely too much on it, serious problems will arise in such situations.

If being knocked down by Uzumaki Naruto's stinky fart was very embarrassing, being knocked down by Chi's olfactory illusion actually barely saved some face.

Smell can be subjectively divided into fragrance and odor, but in essence, there is no difference.

A smell that is too strong, whether fragrant or smelly, will make people feel uncomfortable.

Qian's illusion chakra follows the secret medicine and invades the opponent's body through the smell. The sharper the olfactory perception, the better the effect.

Even Chito was stunned by the performance of Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru, and thought that the other party was using some trick. When he found out that it was really pie in the sky, he was overjoyed, quickly stepped forward, and covered it with a kunai. Mouth and nose, eyes trance-like, and throat of Inuzuka Kiba moaning in pain.

Winner, Qian!

So far, there have been nine rounds of preliminaries. Some were evenly matched and fought to the point of bloodshed, and some were evenly matched and the winner was determined in an instant by a huge disparity in strength. However, he was the first to lose inexplicably like Inuzuka Kiba.

If you look at the overall strength, Inuzuka Kiba and Chi are actually about the same, and even have a slight advantage, but they lost in such an inexplicable way.

The fifth Suna ninja wins! 』

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was quietly watching the battle below, looked in the direction of Maki. The nominal leader of the Suna Ninja did not seem to be happy because of the Suna Ninja's outstanding performance.

What a calm guy. 』

Inside, Orochimaru and his spies were causing trouble in Konoha Village, and outside, there was the sudden rise of the Suna Ninja, who was aggressive. If it weren't for the performance of the Konoha Genin, the sad Sandaime Hokage would have almost pulled out his beard.

Qian didn't even shed a drop of sweat after winning the chance, and returned upstairs overjoyed. Temari, who was familiar with him, greeted him warmly, and Daimaru still had an awkward smile that looked extremely fake, and congratulated him on his victory.

Why, is it too lucky for me to win and not worthy of my reputation?

What's the matter!

Daimaru looked absently at the tenth match below, which pitted the eldest lady of the Hyuga family against Akimichi Choji.

Although Hyuga Hinata is a bit cowardly, she is still much stronger than her opponent. The fat Akimichi Choji, who is injured and out of shape, cannot defeat Hinata Hinata who has been resting for four or five days.

Speaking of which, there is also a draw for the winner group. Even if you win one game, you may not be able to advance to the third test. There is really nothing to be happy about!

It's better to win than to lose. Don't think too much.

Daimaru said perfunctorily.

Some things are not suitable to be said here too much. Marky is watching not far away. It would be bad if he is suspected of something.

However, it seems that I heard that your luck has always been bad, and I might be able to draw you later!

No matter what, Qian was in a good mood after winning and said with a smile.

Even if I don't win, the defeated guy might think of challenging me after seeing my injuries...

So, no matter what, you have to fight at least one more time?

It's very possible!

Daimaru replied helplessly,

This is the rule. Although luck will bring you an advantage, if you are not strong enough, you will still be targeted by guys who are eager to see you.

Not only Daimaru, but Uzumaki Naruto, Sen, and even Kankuro who won unconvincingly may be underestimated and face challenges.

From now on, successful candidates should start paying attention to the opponents they may encounter next and make some preparations.

Below, Akimichi Chouji didn't last long before he was beaten to the ground by Hinata Hinata and was disqualified.

The same surname is Hinata, and she also uses Byakugan and Soft Fist. Hyuga Hinata is a lot worse than Hyuga Neji, but compared to her classmates who are also new genin, she is really powerful.

The calm tenth game ended quickly. In the eleventh game, the spy with ulterior motives used a skillful and exquisite performance to hardly deal with the enemy for a long time before narrowly defeating the spy who used wind escape and sand manipulation ninjutsu. Shanai once again saved some face for Konoha Village.

The last scene was a little interesting.

Haruno Sakura, who was seriously injured, and Nara Shikamaru, who was also in bad shape, had a battle of wits.

In addition to knowing one more shadow secret technique than Haruno Sakura, Nara Shikamaru, who has similar basic abilities, is even inferior in chakra manipulation ability.

Just relying on the Three Body Technique and Kunai, Haruno Sakura forced Nara Shikamaru into a panic.

Maybe Nara Shikamaru has a slight advantage in terms of IQ, but Haruno Sakura's fighting intelligence is not bad after many hard battles. She almost defeated Nara Shikamaru at the cost of aggravating injuries to her limbs.

If the shadow imitation technique hadn't been beyond the understanding of Haruno Sakura, who had little experience, and the surprise attack was successful, Team 10 might have been completely wiped out.

Nara Shikamaru!

The other eleven members of the winning group all looked at the last lucky person who had won so hard.

This seems to be an easier opponent to bully than the seriously injured Daimaru. If unfortunately he is drawn and defeated, challenging this guy is also a good choice.

All the disqualified candidates had left. Moonlight Gale called the twelve remaining candidates together and announced:

The winner group will be randomly matched next. Both sides will rest for ten minutes in the first match, and then it will officially begin. Now...

Everyone looked at the electronic screen that determined the trend.

Hinata VS Daimaru.

Daimaru smiled and looked at Hinata Hinata who was a little surprised.

No Hinata Neji, is this to give me a glimmer of hope to prevent me from giving in and challenging Nara Shikamaru? 』
