At Hagoromo's command, Shizune cleared her mind of distractions and began to regulate her breathing.
"Huh?"
Hinata asked with a puzzled look, glancing at Shizune on the field.
"What's wrong, Hinata?"
Naruto, standing beside him, turned his head and asked with a curious expression.
"Dead Last, don't ask any questions yet! Let Hinata take a good look!"
Sasuke slowly activated his Sharingan, his eyes fixed intently on Shizune.
"What?!" Naruto scoffed, but didn't say anything more.
"It's alright, Naruto-kun, it's just that Shizune- senpai's breathing technique seems a little different from ours."
Hinata shook her head, saying that her Byakugan could detect how Shizune adjusted her breathing and the flow of Chakra changed.
"No the same?"
Ino blinked; she couldn't tell at all.
"Hmm, it's strange. Although it's different, it's also similar to what the teacher taught."
Hinata nodded, her gaze fixed on Shizune.
"However, the fluidity of her movements feels even more natural and fitting for her."
Karin on the field became somewhat more reserved, looking at Shizune with a serious expression.
Although her perception is not yet up to the standard she will reach as an adult, it is not bad either.
"He's gotten stronger, and his Chakra seems to be much more abundant as well."
Whoosh--
Without further hesitation, Karin took the initiative.
After all, her current advantage lies in her weakness, as her opponent is a senior who is several years older than her.
Shizune, she went to meet them without any haste.
Both used the same moves at the same time, and the clash of their fists allowed them to gauge each other's condition.
"Huh?"
Karin also noticed something was wrong. The breathing technique her teacher had taught her didn't seem to be like this, did it?
Hagoromo Yi smiled, for the medical knowledge Shizune provided her with valuable training opportunities during this period.
From the perspective of medical-nin, he made his own corrections to the Inch Power Eight Gates.
Then, by adjusting their breathing and Chakra manipulation to better suit themselves, the resulting effects are also different.
"Bong Sau!"
Instead of retreating, Shizune advanced directly towards Karin, her hands swirling with Chakra like a vortex.
Having just come to her senses, Karin had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the challenge.
The next instant, the Shizune flow of Chakra carried him backward, sending him several meters back.
"Does Bong Sau with that much Chakra possess such power?"
Naruto scratched his head. In his understanding, Shizune's Chakra release just now shouldn't have been that powerful.
Hinata watched carefully for a while before letting out a sigh of relief.
"It's different. Senior Shizune uses different Uzumaki airflows with her two hands, so the impact she causes is much greater than ours."
Sasuke suddenly realized what was happening, but the next moment he couldn't sit still anymore.
"How is this possible? He's only been cultivating for such a short time!"
After all, he had only seen this move used by Neji and his own teacher.
"Sasuke-kun, it's different." Hinata slowly closed her Byakugan and shook her head at her friends.
"Senior Sister Shizune's method is only suitable for herself."
"Not bad, Hinata."
Hagoromo clapped his hands and addressed Hinata, then looked at his disciple.
"Neji is able to use different air currents purely because he has his own understanding of combining the Inch Power Eight Gates Punch with Gentle Fist."
"As for your Shizune- senpai, it's highly likely that she has a significant deficiency in Chakra, and her understanding of the human body is arguably superior to yours."
"Therefore, she used breathing techniques to adjust her Chakra output and flow."
Hearing this, Sasuke finally gave up.
This method isn't suitable for him, so it's better not to dwell on it too much.
Naruto scratched his head, thinking that instead of worrying about this, he should just use his superior Chakra.
After all, the teacher once said, "Strength can overcome all methods."
As long as one's Chakra are greater than everyone else's, then no matter how fancy the techniques are, they can be broken.
"Phew~"
Karin also clearly realized that the Shizune was due to her own modifications.
Since that's the case, then let's overwhelm her with Chakra!
Thinking of this, Karin unleashed a massive Chakra, her entire body radiating powerful Chakra fluctuations.
Sasuke's lips twitched at the sight; it felt so familiar.
"Haha, that's it! Well done, Karin!"
Naruto had an excited expression on his face; Karin had actually chosen to do the same thing as him.
Hagoromo Yi gave a helpless, bitter smile. (Uzumaki Clan)
What an overbearing physique! Karin at her age displays an incredible amount of Chakra.
It's almost as good as Shizune mode.
Facing Karin directly, Shizune felt even more acutely the terror emanating from the little girl before her.
Lady Tsunade! Hagoromo's disciple is a monster!
Without further thought, Shizune, with a solemn expression, adjusted her breathing once more.
We absolutely cannot lose, or Lady Tsunade will laugh at us to death when we get back!
Boom--
Two streams of air moved in response, and Karin and Shizune chose to attack from directly opposite directions.
The two Chakra surges collided directly, and the ground, unable to withstand the force, began to explode.
Sasuke immediately deactivated his Sharingan; the outcome was already decided, and there was no need to observe any further.
As the dust settled, Karin was seen slumped on the ground with a helpless expression.
"Damn it! It was so close!"
Shizune, standing to the side, twitched her lips; she felt as if her right hand was slightly fractured.
"This little girl is already so amazing at such a young age?"
Looking at Karin in front of her, Shizune couldn't help but sigh to herself, "No wonder Lady Tsunade cares so much that Karin didn't become her disciple."
"Alright, the outcome is decided!"
Hagoromo then slowly walked to his side and announced the result.
Upon hearing this, Shizune quickly walked to Karin's side, extended her hand, and said, "Junior Sister Karin, you're amazing!"
Shizune spoke very sincerely.
At least, at Karin's age, it would be impossible for me to achieve that level.
"Hehe, no, you're the amazing one, Senior Sister Shizune."
Hearing Shizune say that, Karin looked embarrassed, after all, she had Entry the Inch Power Eight Gates Shizune much earlier than Shizune.
Unfortunately, I still lost.
"Sasuke, I feel like we might have another competitor coming up."
Naruto then put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and began to speak.
Sasuke didn't respond. He knew perfectly well that if Karin continued down this path, she could become the next Naruto.
It's not that Shikamaru and his friends are incapable, but rather that they each have different development paths.
But looking at Karin, she seems to be in the same team as Naruto and him in the future.
He will likely be the main attacker.
"Ah, Dead Last, get ready."
Sasuke snapped out of his daze, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Naruto.
They haven't been playing at their full strength in recent matches, as they are both improving.
It's better to leave it until the end and let the truth be revealed.
