"You should forfeit proactively."
Aburame Shino's voice came from his collar. He truly didn't want to fight this Little girl.
"No, I can't. If I lose, Chen Gege will laugh at me for ages."
Hearing Aburame Shino's words, Nis quickly shook her little head. They were all too familiar with Zhong Chen's character.
Don't think that just because she is a child, he won't laugh at her. He wouldn't just laugh himself; he would make sure the entire Academy City knew about it.
How would Nis ever fit in with the fan club then? Enju-chan and the others would laugh her to death.
"Zhong Chen?"
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, heard the name and his expression immediately changed. That guy was a taboo existence even in Konoha.
Could this Little girl have some connection to that guy?
If he caught her... Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately shook his head, throwing that terrifying thought out of his mind.
It was best not to provoke that man if possible.
"Since you don't want to forfeit, I'll have to make a move."
"Big Brother, wait a moment!"
Aburame Shino, who was about to act, heard the soft voice from across and involuntarily stopped his movements.
Nis pressed a space capsule in her hand and gently threw it on the ground. Immediately, a huge cloud of smoke enveloped the entire examination area.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, an oval transparent cocoon containing a huge skeleton appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Holy crap! A seikishi? Where did this Nis girl get that?"
Others didn't know what this thing was, but Zhong Chen did. It was a product from "Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar."
He didn't expect Nis to bring out something like this. This wasn't even the same art style as Naruto.
Kunai vs. mecha, huh? Ninjutsu vs. Apha-gun?
PS: The origin of Nis's seikishi is actually very simple. Lashara gave it to her. The two are good friends, and it was actually mentioned in the text, in the chapters about the Academy City festival.
"What is this thing? A puppet, perhaps? I've never heard of a puppeteer in Rainbow Ninja Village."
"We'll find out if we keep watching."
Nis ignored the discussions of the crowd. Her small hand rested on the cocoon, the huge cocoon and her small body creating an absolute height difference.
This made Nis's cuteness factor increase by several percentage points.
With a 'ding,' a very small magic circle appeared on the cocoon.
Originally, seikishi were driven by Apha and could only be used in the Aena Sea.
But ever since the entire world became a subordinate world of the Monster Country Federation, the tech-savvy researchers in the Monster Country Federation's scientific research department completely revamped and upgraded the seikishi.
Now, seikishi can not only be driven by magic power but also come with a magic power conversion device, and can even operate in space.
They are a super knock-off product of the Imperial Navy Fleet's combat mechs.
Buzz... Thump-thump... As a void appeared on the cocoon, Nis was suddenly enveloped by the cocoon and pulled into the cockpit.
Then the entire cocoon began to deform rapidly. In just a moment, a small pink seikishi with a cat-like head, standing six meters tall, appeared before everyone.
"This... Shino, be careful! This thing the opponent has is probably not simple!"
Inuzuka Kiba, who had initially been nonchalant, now looked shocked as he leaned over the railing and shouted to Aburame Shino upon seeing the seikishi.
Aburame Shino's mouth, hidden behind his collar, twitched slightly. He didn't need Kiba to tell him; anyone could see that this thing was not to be trifled with.
"Big Brother, I'm sorry, but I'm going to make my move!"
Accompanying Nis's voice were the seikishi's hands, holding a huge laser gun, moving into action.
"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!"
Aburame Shino now treated Nis as an opponent of equal standing. A black tornado formed by insects suddenly rushed towards the seikishi.
In just a moment, the seikishi's right leg was enveloped in black mist, but... "This... How is this possible!!!"
Aburame Shino suddenly cried out in alarm, because the parasitic insects' feedback to him was that there were no gaps they could infiltrate, and they couldn't break through the opponent's defense either.
To use Zhong Chen's current jibe... We failed to penetrate the enemy's armor.
Nis, sitting in the cockpit, looked at the big brother standing still across from her with a puzzled expression. Why wasn't he making a move yet?
Never mind, if he won't move, I'll move first.
"Not good! Secret Technique: Insect Clone!"
Whoosh... Boom!!!
As the laser gun in the seikishi's hand fired, a blue beam, half a meter thick, reached Aburame Shino in an instant.
After instantly shattering his clone, it continued to shoot towards his back.
With a loud boom, a half-meter wide hole was blasted into the wall behind Aburame Shino, and outside, the somewhat bustling streets of Konoha could vaguely be seen.
"This... What kind of weapon is this!"
"Has Rainbow Ninja Village actually developed such terrifying war weapons..."
"Shino! Are you alright!"
"That Little girl from Rainbow Ninja Village looks so cute, but she's really merciless."
Aburame Shino at this moment had no time to respond to the inquiries from the stands. He swallowed hard.
Cold sweat ran down his forehead, under his sunglasses, and to his neck. If he had been even a little slower, he would have been gone!
His parasitic insects couldn't do anything to the opponent, and the opponent could easily endanger his life with a casual move. What was the point of fighting?
Aburame Shino slowly raised his right hand and spoke, feigning calmness:
"I forfeit..."
Gekko Hayate, standing nearby, nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then announced:
"Aburame Shino forfeits. The winner is Hong Ninja, Nis!"
Hearing the referee announce the result, Nis jumped out of the cockpit, holding a Slime doll in one hand.
Then, with a press of the space capsule, the seikishi instantly vanished.
"Hehehe, I won!"
After saying that, Nis politely bowed slightly to Aburame Shino, and with a wide smile, she softly said:
"Thank you, Big Brother, for letting me win. You can come play with me anytime!"
With that, Nis skipped down the stairs and returned to Zhong Chen's side.
"She's truly a Little girl you can't bring yourself to hate..."
After muttering to himself, Aburame Shino silently walked back to the stands.
"Karin Big Sister, Kimimaro Big Brother, I won!"
"Yes, Nis, you're the best!"
Karin smiled and patted the Little girl's head, her tone full of encouragement.
Meanwhile, Kimimaro's lips curved slightly upwards.
"Oh my, someone completely doesn't care about me anymore. What a waste of how good I've been to someone..."
Zhong Chen saw Nis go talk to Karin first after coming up, and immediately spoke with a sour tone.
Nis heard him, tugged at Zhong Chen's leg with her small hand, raised her little head, and blinked her big, watery eyes.
She said in a fawning tone:
"Hehehe, Chen Gege is the best! Aren't the important people, the grand finale, always saved for last!"
"Is... is that so? Humph, Little girl, I guess you passed."
Nis looked at Zhong Chen, who had been reeled in like a fish, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Who said a little loli couldn't be cunning...
