Chapter 451 The Exam Begins
"Let me reiterate, the rule of this exam is that there are no rules."
"Two people will fight in the arena until one of them surrenders or dies, and then the winner will be determined. The winner will advance, and the loser will be eliminated, until the final winner is decided!"
Having said that, Harusame looked around at the eight little devils in front of him with determined eyes.
"Of course, as the examiner of this exam, I have the right to stop the duel when I think the winner has been decided."
"Do you understand?"
What Harusame said about terminating the duel at any time was actually more about saving the losing party at the critical moment when these little devils were unable to stop in time.
With so many dignitaries watching the competition and the village leaders also present, it is impossible for Kirigakure to openly favor its own candidates.
Therefore, even those Genin from other villages would not have any objection.
All eight of them nodded in agreement.
After seeing that all the candidates had made their final confirmation, Harusame did not delay any longer and directly controlled the big screen to display the contestants for the first match.
The remaining candidates also immediately retreated to the preparation area to wait.
"The first match, Kirigakure's Ringo Ameyuri VS Amegakure's Fūrin!"
The audience in the stands, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly burst into cheers.
And amidst these cheers.
Yahiko attended the battle as the leader of the Amegakure Village.
Looking down, he saw that the first match was fought by his own Amegakure Village only seedling, and asked Konan beside him with some curiosity.
"That little girl with red hair is Kaito's disciple, right?"
Konan nodded when she heard this, a smile appearing on her face.
"Yes, she's a very capable kid. I don't know if Fūrin can beat her."
Although the person fighting against her below was her own disciple.
However, whether it was because of her relationship with Kaito or that familiar red hair, the two of them had an inexplicable liking for Ringo Ameyuri.
Moreover, after talking with Kaito before, Yahiko and Konan no longer took this kind of fight between children so seriously.
In other words, the less attention the Amegakure Village will receive from the outside world, the better.
So at this moment, the two of them didn't really have any biased stance.
While the two were talking, the battle below had already begun.
"Ding ding ding ding~"
It was clearly the Origami Shuriken and the kunai thrown by Furen and Ringo Ameyuri that collided in the air, but the sound of the collision was exactly the same as that of metal.
After a brief trial, Ringo Ameyuri immediately gave up using her limited throwing ninja tools to engage in a long-range fight with the opponent's unlimited origami shuriken.
After twisting and turning, she dodged Fūrin's second attack.
Ringo Ameyuri immediately clenched the two swords behind her back and quickly took a step forward to charge towards her opponent.
Seeing this, Fūrin quickly retreated.
Just as Ringo Ameyuri's foot stepped over the place where Fūrin had just stood.
The originally ordinary floor tiles under her feet turned out to be like stickers, with the corners curling up strangely and white smoke starting to come out with a "sizzling" sound.
"Ninjutsu: Explosive Flame Formation!"
As Fūrin's clear cry rang out, the part of the ground disguised by the Mimic Origami Explosive Tags immediately turned into flying pieces of paper, covering Ringo Ameyuri's entire surroundings.
The next moment.
"Boom boom boom~"
Amid the continuous roar, smoke, dust and flames exploded in all directions.
Ringo Ameyuri's figure was completely submerged by the waves of violent explosions.
In the stands, Kaito was originally communicating quietly with the two kages.
Seeing this scene, he almost spit out a mouthful of water.
However, Rasa casually glanced at the situation on the field and said sarcastically in a cold tone.
"It seems that the disciple of Mizukage-sama lost a little too quickly, didn't she?"
However, when Kaito heard Rasa's words, he was not angry at all.
Even what almost made Kaito lose his composure just now was not what Rasa expected, because his disciple was in crisis.
But, 'Could it be that this move of Amegakure Village was taught to her by Konan?'
Kaito looked at the explosion below with a frown on his face.
In the original work, Hanzo of the Salamander used this trick to ambush and attack, which led to Konan's near death and Nagato's lifelong paralysis.
Although the principle of Fūrin's trick below seems to be slightly different from Hanzo's 'Fire Style: Exploding Flame Formation'.
However, as Konan's student, using this trick seems a bit strange.
"How filial!"
Just as Kaito was thinking about these strange things.
Seeing him remain silent, Rasa seemed to feel a little bored.
He immediately thought about whether he should continue to criticize Kaito.
It would be best if the young Mizukage gave up on rescuing the disciple below in time for the sake of his face.
Those who can participate in the final exam can be considered talented to some extent. Rasa would probably wake up laughing in his dreams if she were to die here.
However, they didn't wait for him to say the next word.
From within the smoke of the explosion below, Ringo Ameyuri's figure suddenly rushed out.
And with Rasa's eyesight, he could see even from the stands that the kid had only suffered some minor scratches.
The audience who were originally feeling sorry for Ringo Ameyuri exclaimed in unison when they saw this scene.
At the same time, seeing Ringo Ameyuri rushing out of the explosion, Fūrin on the opposite side also fixed her eyes.
'What kind of monster is this?!'
Then, without stopping, she spread out a pair of origami wings and flew into the air.
However, Ringo Ameyuri herself, who had just rushed out of the explosion, didn't care about the opinions of outsiders at this time.
The 'Iron Block' taught by her own sensei.
Well, it's a new thing that Kaito combined 'defense acupoints', 'hardening' and a little steel style technique to create.
Although the 'Iron Block' helped her to bear most of the damage, she still suffered the same amount of pain.
Now all she wanted was to end the battle quickly and go back to receive proper treatment.
Thinking of this, Ringo Ameyuri clenched the two swords behind her again.
Tiny golden arcs of electricity flickered between his palms, and then quickly flowed through his body along the blades of his two swords.
"Lightning Style: Ariel Ace!"
The words haven't finished yet.
Ringo Ameyuri turned into a stream of golden light and appeared in front of Fūrin like lightning.
Before she could react, Ringo Ameyuri kicked the ground hard with both feet.
The golden light changed direction instantly with a series of 'crackling' sounds.
At a 45-degree angle, it shot rapidly towards Fūrin in the air like a sharp arrow.
The next moment, two lightning bolts passed by.
Fūrin, unable to dodge, closed her eyes tightly.
At this moment, she seemed to feel the scythe of the god of death caressing her skin.
But the thunder was fleeting.
Then Fūrin felt a sense of emptiness behind her.
It was not until then that she realized that the pair of origami wings behind her had been chopped into pieces.
But the lightning just now just brushed past her side and did not hurt her at all.
Having lost the ability to fly, she quickly fell to the ground.
And she, lying on her back on the ground, only saw.
The red-haired figure that soared high into the sky had scratches all over her body.
But under the sunshine, her smile is particularly bright.
