Yemo vs. Mei Terumi

Inside the arena, Yemo's shouts echoed through the sky. The most excited among them were the Konoha, who made up the majority of the team. Yemo's team was not only the only team to pass the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams, Yemo was also the strongest Genin to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, carrying the hopes of the village on his shoulders.

"Finally, this guy is here!" In the stands, Shikaku, sitting in the crowd, had a bandage on his right hand. Although he was injured during the second Chunin Ninja Exams yesterday, he still came to cheer for Yemo. As for Inoichi and Choji, their injuries were too severe, and they could only watch the live broadcast from their hospital beds, unable to come to the event like him.

On the central platform, the Third Hokage saw Yemo appear and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure looked at Yemo in the arena and said calmly, "Is this the once-in-a-century genius of Konoha Yemo Uzumaki? I heard that he completed an A-Rank Mission and killed Special Jōnin Kumogakure from Kumogakure as soon as he became Genin. It seems that the selection process for Jonin Kumogakure is not very strict."

As he spoke, the Third Hokage glanced at the Third Raikage A. The Third Mizukage's words were undisguised; rather, they were clearly meant for A's ears.

Just as the Third Mizukage had predicted, the Third Raikage A, turned ashen-faced upon hearing this, while the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, revealed a rare smile. Indeed, excitement is built upon the suffering of others; this saying is true.

The Third Kazekage sat there calmly with his arms crossed, saying nothing, quietly watching the other four Kage, truly embodying the attitude of "it's none of my business."

The Third Raikage snorted coldly. He was also a hot-tempered person and retorted, "This is none of the Mizukage's concern. I think our Kumogakure Jonin selection is quite good. After all, the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist Ninja were chased Jonin to the Land of Water by our Kumogakure a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, the Mizukage, who had just been all smiles, immediately turned grim. This incident was a disgrace to Kirigakure. Seven Swordsmen of the Mist Ninja's golden brand, the Seven Elite Jonin Kirigakure Mist, had almost been wiped out by Kumogakure.

Watching the Mizukage and Raikage salivate, the Third, sitting in the middle, chuckled to himself. He had naturally heard about the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist Ninja Third.

The Raikage and Mizukage stared at each other, the atmosphere tense. The Third, seizing the opportunity, said, "Alright, everyone, the match begins!"

Using the steps provided by the Third, the two wisely stopped. As Kage, neither of them needed to waste time on such trivial matters. However, it was a matter of face for both of them, and whoever backed down first would lose face. Neither of them wanted to lose face, so neither dared to take a step back.

The scene shifts back to the sidelines, where Yemo and Mei Terumi stand ten meters apart. Orochimaru briefly explains the rules to be aware of in the middle, then waves his hand dismissively.

"Start!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Terumi raised her hand and shot out several Kunai with a whooshing sound. Seeing the Kunai radiating a chill as they approached, Yemo shifted his feet slightly and tilted his body, easily dodging the incoming Kunai.

Turning around and standing still, Yemo smiled faintly, "Even if you want revenge, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Besides, a few Kunai n't enough!"

On his way out, Yemo had figured it out. Since the hatred between him and this woman was already established, it was absolutely impossible to pretend that nothing had happened. In that case, he might as well defeat her openly and honestly under the watchful eyes of everyone, which might put an end to Mei Terumi's desire for revenge.

"Don't speak so soon. Today I will definitely defeat you and make you experience the humiliation you gave me that day." Mei Terumi Yemo is the first person who has ever angered Terumi Mei to such an extent.

As the heir to the Kirigakure clan, Mei Terumi received an excellent education from a young age and has a gentle and friendly personality. She occasionally throws a tantrum, but this is the first time she has ever been this angry. Of course, Yemo is unaware of this; he is currently thinking about how to deal with this woman in the most effective way.

His eyes lit up, and a battle plan formed in Yemo's mind. His hands moved rapidly, forming Hand Seals, and he uttered a soft shout, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Thud... Thud...

The void exploded one after another, and from the white smoke that appeared out of nowhere, one Yemo after another appeared. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen Yemo in the arena.

"So many clones!" Mei Terumi was shocked to see so many clones of Yemo. Most ninjas knew the Shadow Clone Technique, but this was the first time Mei Terumi had ever seen so many clones.

"Charge!"

Amidst shouts, more than ten Yemo warriors swarmed towards Mei Terumi.

"Trying to win by sheer numbers? That's a low-level tactic!"

Mei Terumi quickly Hand Seals, not forgetting to mock Yemo's tactical simplistic approach. The seals were completed in a flash, and she parted her red lips to utter, "Earth Release: Burial!"

Qianqian slapped the ground, and the ground trembled as if an earthquake had struck. A huge crack appeared in the ground beneath the feet of the dozen or so Yemo, and all of them fell into the crack.

"Combine!"

With a gentle shout, the ground trembled again, and the cracks instantly merged together. As for the Yemo that had fallen into the cracks, they had probably already been crushed into a pile of minced meat.

The audience members in the stands, who had full confidence in Yemo, were incredulous at the quick end of the fight, exclaiming, "No way! Yemo was defeated so quickly? Is he that weak?"

"Idiot! How could Yemo have solved this so easily? Didn't you see that Lord Orochimaru hasn't declared the match over yet?"

Knowing that Yemo couldn't be dealt with so easily, Mei Terumi raised her hand, about to search for where Yemo's physical form was hidden.

Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet cracked with a loud bang, and a small hand emerged from the ground, grabbing Mei Terumi's ankle.

"Earth Release: Terrain Beheading Technique!"

Before Mei Terumi could react, she felt a tremendous force pull her into the ground, leaving only her head sticking out.

With a whoosh, Yemo emerged from the ground. Under the horrified gazes of tens of thousands of people, Yemo raised his fist and, without hesitation, smacked Mei Terumi's beautiful, snow-white cheek.

Many people screamed in terror upon seeing this scene, covering their eyes with their hands, as if they were witnessing a fist smashing a head, with white brain matter and blood splattering out.

Many people cursed Yemo in their hearts, wondering how he could be so heartless as to treat such a beautiful girl so cruelly. They questioned whether he was even a woman.

Thud...

Yemo's fist, carrying immense force, blasted Mei Terumi's head apart without hesitation. Unfortunately, there was no scene of white brain matter and blood splattering; instead, countless specks of dirt flew everywhere.

It turns out that what was buried underground was not Mei Terumi's physical body, but Mei Terumi Earth Clone. If it were truly her physical body, how could Yemo have done something as simple as smashing Mei Terumi's head? He never intended to kill Mei Terumi.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Mei Terumi Yemo reached out his hand. Her hands remained in Hand Seals. As her voice fell, a large amount of water emerged from the air. The azure water swirled and condensed into the shape of a giant dragon, which roared to the sky, emitting a roar unlike that of an ordinary beast.

Taking advantage of the gap in her Earth Release Clone, Mei Terumi bought herself time to unleash the Water Dragon Bullet. This A-rank Ninjutsu is incredibly powerful, a strong Ninjutsu that is basically only usable by Jonin. It also requires a lot of Hand Seals, more than forty in total, and it takes quite a while to complete all of them.

Yemo turned around, he saw a giant dragon, several meters long, charging towards him with earth-shattering power.
