🤗 Please if you find any incorrect names let me know in comments so I can fix them 

After the Chunin Exam elimination rounds began.

The matches were conducted according to the numbers drawn in the preliminary rounds. Those who made it to the elimination rounds generally possessed a certain level of strength.

So, witnessing the fights between the two sides was quite excellent. However, in Tianyuan's eyes, that was all it was. These ninjas at most possessed the strength of Chunin.

For Tianyuan, who now possessed the strength of a Jonin, they were still somewhat lacking, even if Tianyuan didn't use the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Among the earlier contestants, there were some Tianyuan recognized, such as Shizune. Both of them successfully defeated their opponents. Although the process wasn't entirely smooth, they still managed it.

In Tianyuan's estimation, Shizune fully possessed the strength of a Chunin.

If all went well, she should be able to become a true Chunin after this Chunin Exam.

Of course, besides Konoha, Tianyuan also encountered an acquaintance, Mei Terumi of the Hidden Mist Village. She easily defeated her opponent.

To Tianyuan's exasperation, Mei Terumi even provocatively glanced at Tianyuan.

In Tianyuan's estimation, or rather, Mei Terumi wanted to duel him in the final match, because Tianyuan and Mei Terumi were in two different brackets.

Mei Terumi was in the first half of the bracket, while Tianyuan was in the second half. So, if they were to meet, it could only be in the finals.

"Next, numbers 11 and 12, please come forward." The referee, Minato Namikaze, announced loudly below.

"It's my turn." Tianyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, directly leaping down from the audience stands and landing on the ground.

And Tianyuan's opponent, Yugito Nii, also came to stand opposite Tianyuan.

"Are both of you ready?" Minato Namikaze looked at Tianyuan and Yugito Nii.

"Ready." Tianyuan and Yugito Nii both nodded.

"Then, begin." Minato Namikaze announced.

After the match began, Tianyuan's figure quickly vanished from his spot, then appeared in front of Yugito Nii, his right leg sweeping out like a whirlwind.

Body Flicker Technique: Leaf Whirlwind.

"Bang." Yugito Nii put her hands in front of her chest, blocking Tianyuan's attack, but the powerful force directly sent Yugito Nii flying. Yugito Nii, unable to land, couldn't regain her composure.

Seeing Tianyuan continuing to charge, Yugito Nii touched her body, and several shuriken appeared in her hands. Then, with a wave of her right hand, the shuriken transformed into several streaks of light and directly attacked Tianyuan.

Tianyuan used a kunai to swiftly deflect the incoming shuriken. He didn't stop, continuing to rush towards Yugito Nii.

"So fast." Yugito Nii also pulled out a kunai.

"Bang." Their kunai clashed, but Yugito Nii only felt such immense power that she could barely hold onto her kunai.

"What immense power."

As the two continuously attacked each other, it was clear that Tianyuan completely suppressed Yugito Nii.

Yugito Nii had absolutely no power to resist in terms of taijutsu.

One must know that generally, as a Jinchuriki, one's close-quarters combat ability is very strong, but the current situation was very obvious.

On the spectator stands.

In the area where the Kage of the Five Great Hidden Villages were located.

When it was Tianyuan and Yugito Nii's turn to fight, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said, "Third Raikage, that's your village's Jinchuriki, isn't it? I didn't expect you to send such a person to this Chunin Exam."

"Although she's a Jinchuriki, she's still a ninja of Kumogakure. Don't you agree, Third Hokage?" The Third Raikage chuckled.

"However, I heard that Tianyuan is Konoha's genius." The Third Raikage suddenly said. After arriving in Konoha yesterday, he had heard some things from Killer B and others. The Chunin Exam itself didn't particularly interest the Third Raikage.

Rather, Killer B had mentioned that Tianyuan had previously used the power of the Eight Gates to completely suppress Killer B, who was the Eight-Tails.

This surprised the Third Raikage. Could this Konoha ninja possess some sort of Kekkei Genkai that greatly enhanced his body's recovery, allowing him to survive the after-effects of the Eight Gates?

The existence of such power in Konoha gave the Third Raikage a bit of a headache. However, he couldn't act in Konoha itself, or it would be a formal break with Konoha.

At the same time, whether they could even leave Konoha would be a problem.

"Tianyuan, you say?" The Third Hokage smiled upon hearing the Raikage's words. "Tianyuan is certainly very powerful, but against your Jinchuriki, it's hard to say."

"Haha, Third Hokage, are you being modest?" The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, laughed heartily. "You know, it's very rare for the big brute Third Raikage to say something like that."

"Is that so?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said blandly.

Soon, the intense fight between Tianyuan and Yugito Nii continued.

Watching the scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. He could see that Tianyuan's taijutsu completely suppressed Yugito Nii.

"What powerful taijutsu. To some extent, it's even comparable to a Jonin." The Third Raikage looked at the scene below and nodded. "However, the power of a Jinchuriki is not just taijutsu."

Below, in the arena.

Yugito Nii, continuously pushed back, formed hand seals. She no longer resisted Tianyuan's taijutsu, because her stamina was severely depleted from the constant confrontation. If she ran out, she wouldn't be able to defend against Tianyuan, and then she wouldn't even have a chance to use ninjutsu.

"Nekokaburi Ball."

Several chakra spheres floated in front of Yugito Nii. Under Yugito Nii's control, these chakra spheres directly rushed towards Tianyuan.

Tianyuan formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive flame erupted from Tianyuan's mouth, directly engulfing Yugito Nii's ninjutsu attack.

"Hmph." At this moment, Yugito Nii's body emitted blue chakra, and she directly used the power of the Two-Tails.

"So fast." Tianyuan was startled. He hadn't expected Yugito Nii to directly use the Two-Tails' power.

"Ghost Fire Ball." Several blue flames blazed fiercely. Yugito Nii was using the power of the Two-Tails, Matatabi.

These were known as inextinguishable flames.

"Go." Several cold flames shot towards Tianyuan, appearing silently.
