Two hours later,
Konoha Chuunin Examination Arena.
"There's no need to work too hard in the finals, just be safe." Uchiha Tatsu stood in the genin rest room and said to the two girls.
"Yeah." Mikoto nodded seriously.
Speaking of which, she was under much greater pressure than Kushina.
She watched the battle between Minato and Kushina from beginning to end. Even if the tailed beast was only the most incomplete version, it was not something she could resist.
"I have no choice but to try to play fast attack. We can't let Kushina have the opportunity to use such moves..."
Mikoto made up her mind and glanced back at Kushina, only to find that the other party was in an uneasy state.
As for the reason... it's very simple.
The Five Elements Seal that Minato used before he fell to the ground caused the Kyuubi, who had always been very closely connected with the little fox, to fall into a state of poor signal. He could even speak intermittently, let alone conduct chakra with such high difficulty. things.
In other words...she can't use cheats in this battle.
"I can do it on my own, and I don't need the big fox's help in this battle!" Kushina patted her cheek hard, then showed a big smile to Uchiha Tatsu before walking straight onto the field.
The young man did not follow them out, but stood in the players' rest area and watched the two people walking further and further away.
"Hey, don't you have to follow me?" Minato, who was drinking lemon tea lying on the other side, raised his head and asked.
"No need, since Brother Sakumo is here, I'll leave it to him."
"You are really lazy," Minato shook his head, "Forget it if you don't help, why don't you even unlock the five elements seal on Kushina's body?"
"Minato, are you injured and confused? I've been so busy, I don't have time to study the Five Elements Seal, so I can't."
"What if it really happens?" Minato chuckled and asked a very pointed question.
"You really know how to interpret the Five Elements... Let me think about it." The young man closed his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Unfortunately... your hypothesis does not exist."
"Coward!" Minato curled his lips and showed contempt.
Uchiha Tatsu helplessly spread his hands and sighed: "You should ask me, if you and the rope tree fall into the manure pit at the same time, who should I save first?"
"Hey, wasn't it still in the water before?!"
"Water can't drown you, but a cesspool can!"
"Tch." Minato's disdainful expression became even more serious, but his expression suddenly changed because the movement was too big and the wound was pulled.
"Okay, I'd better call the medical ninja for you." The boy sighed and walked out of the players' rest area where there were only two people.
Before leaving, he glanced at the arena from a distance, and then slowly turned around.
Uchiha Tatsumi didn't tell Minato that Kushina's sealing skills were actually much higher than the two of them.
The little fox can break the seal by herself, but... she doesn't want to.
… …
"So, are you both ready for the final battle?" Sakumo, as the examiner and referee, stood between the two.
After getting accurate answers from the two girls, he nodded and announced loudly:
"The last round of the Chunin Exam begins now!"
"Kushina, please give me some advice."
"Mikoto, please give me some advice."
After bowing separately, the two people did not continue to communicate, but quickly collided and started fighting.
This situation shocked the ninjas who were familiar with them.
Although the two have different personalities, they are best friends. Everyone knows this... Therefore, it was unexpected for everyone to have such a fierce fight.
Then, what surprised everyone even more was that Kushina, who had always been very strong before, was slowly suppressed by Mikoto.
In fact, this is also foreseeable. There is a complete difference between the Uchiha tribesmen who have opened their Sharingan eyes and the Uchiha who have not opened their eyes.
You must know that the Sharingan of the double magatama not only has further improved insight, but also has the ability to "see through" and copy.
Kushina, who has lost Kyuubi, her every move has now been exposed to the eyes of Mikoto, who has opened her Sharingan.
Punch, kunai, elbow, knee, foot!
Every move Kushina made was seen through by Mikoto's Sharingan, and she intercepted it easily.
"What's wrong, that red chakra, why don't you use it?"
Mikoto had been on guard against that move, but found that Kushina had not used it yet.
"Do you think you can defeat me in this state?"
Kushina shook her head, but did not say anything about the sealing technique that cut off the connection with Kyuubi.
From the little fox's point of view, this battle is between the two of them and has nothing to do with anyone else.
She wanted to have a fair fight and achieve this victory with only her own strength.
That’s all…
Of course, Kushina also has her own confidence in doing this. She may be much weaker in combat experience, but the hard conditions are undoubtedly her biggest advantage.
The so-called hard conditions are mainly reflected in a ninja's physical fitness, total amount of chakra, physical recovery and chakra recovery speed.
To put it bluntly, I may not be able to beat you, but I can definitely wear you to death.
Therefore, when the battle between the two continued for a while, although Mikoto's offensive was stronger and stronger, Kushina was always like a small boat in the waves. Although she had a lot of new injuries, she was still the same after all. He barely managed to hold on.
"Admit defeat, I don't want to cause you too much harm." Another thunderbolt hit Kushina, Mikoto advised while fighting.
Kushina staggered, but shook her head firmly, "I will not give up, I must get the championship this time.
I don't know why you are so persistent in winning, but I also have reasons why I have to win. "
The little fox was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a hard defense but did not admit defeat, just looking for a chance to make a comeback.
Mikoto's speed was very fast, and her attack was indeed very fierce, but... it was not continuous after all.
Sooner or later there will be a moment of slacking off.
After a while, Mikoto, who had been unable to attack for a long time, gradually became anxious. A pair of Magatama Sharingan turned wildly, and the speed was getting faster and faster, showing a strong tendency to evolve.
But what followed... was an inexplicable irritability that slowly came over her.
Speaking of which, she and Kushina were good friends who grew up together. Their relationship was more important than friends, just like a pair of sisters.
Mikoto also knew that the little fox liked Chen, and even if she occasionally felt a little jealous, she would not overthink it because of her age.
But for some reason, this thought became clearer and clearer today, making her feel extremely irritable and even vaguely uncontrollable.
"I must win this game!"
Mikoto took a deep breath, and at some point another magatama appeared in the Sharingan in her left eye. While predicting Kushina's next attack, she quickly formed seals with her hands!
"Thunder Escape!"
Dazzling lightning rushed out from her hands that were pressed to the ground, roaring and roaring towards Kushina on the opposite side.
Not to be outdone, Kushina raised her hand and used her best wind escape, and then rushed over.
… …
Uchiha Tatsu, who appeared on the sidelines at some unknown time, became increasingly silent as he watched the battle.
Behind him is the sun that has turned to the west. The long oblique shadow cast by the orange light divided the ground into two parts: light and shadow.
The place where the boy stood was their boundary, the side close to the shadow.
At this time, for some unknown reason, a long-circulated saying suddenly appeared in his mind:
"If you win, become Hokage, if you lose, marry Sakura."
… …
(ps. I won’t talk about the results. Anyway, I am not a 400-point expert (?˙ー˙?). Anyway, I passed the retest and my score was not too bad. Thank you for your concern.) (To be continued)
