The show's starting, don't rush!~

As Tōka predicted, Kai's stamina gradually declined, while Kisame's injuries and chakra gradually recovered.

With this shift in power, the gap between the two sides becomes apparent.

In just a few minutes, Kai kept dodging while Kisame kept closing in, and the two quickly reached the edge of the arena.

"I must say, your Taijutsu is the strongest I've ever seen among your peers!" Kisame stretched out his arm, raising his Kisame's Greatsword and pointing it straight at Gai.

"However, it seems you can no longer use that terrifying power you were just using!"

Kai squatted on the edge, panting heavily, sweat beading on his forehead.

After the Front Lotus, Kai clearly felt the depletion of his body, while his opponent had recovered seventy or eighty percent of his strength after fully withstanding the attack of the Front Lotus.

This resilience is terrifying!

Kai stared at Kisame expressionlessly, silently thinking to himself, "Dad, please let me prove myself once."

If you miss your next attack, run five hundred laps around Konoha!

If you can't do that, kick your legs a thousand times!

If it fails, then...

A silence, a sense of oppression, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the air.

Kisame squinted; he could sense a dangerous aura emanating from Kai.

"Fourth Gate, Gate of Pain open!" Kai clasped his hands together at his waist, his terrifying chakra breaking through the restrictions of the Fourth Gate.

A terrifying shockwave erupted like a storm, and Kisame instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.

It can actually unleash such terrifying power?

Kisame squinted his piercing Sharks eyes, gripped the greatsword Samehada, and gathered chakra in the soles of his feet.

Bang!

His stomp shook the entire arena.

Kisame knew that Guy's next move would be extraordinary, so he decided... to strike first!

Previously, seeing Kai helplessly forced to the edge of the ring by Kisame, the dignitaries in the Viewing Stand all thought Kai's defeat was inevitable.

Gradually, they lost faith in him and their attention shifted to other arenas.

At that moment, terrifying chakra erupted from the D-section, and everyone turned around in surprise to look at the green shadow that was boiling again.

"Is that S-Rank Ninjutsu? It looks really powerful." A prince from a certain country squinted his eyes and said with an air of great expertise.

"It doesn't seem to Ninjutsu, just Taijutsu!" another fat minister with a large belly replied.

"Oh?! This is Taijutsu?" The prince was itching to learn it, seemingly planning to ask Minato for it after the Chunin Ninja Exams...

Boom!

A loud bang completely drew everyone's attention back.

On the D-zone stage, Kai's body blurred into a streak as he rushed towards Kisame, his movements completely out of his sight.

Kisame's attacks were like the movements of a tortoise in front of Gai, so slow that it was somewhat frustrating.

In the time it takes to breathe, Kai moved erratically more than ten times on the ring.

With a deep lunge, a terrifying shockwave swept towards Kisame.

"It's here!" A chill swept over him, and Kisame felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He was greatly alarmed and quickly sheathed his sword to parry.

Thump!

Kai landed heavily, his foot shattering the stone slab as he came to a stop.

He crouched down in front of Kisame, bracing himself with his hands on the ground, and delivered a powerful side kick to Kisame's jaw.

The same kick can have vastly different speeds and power.

As Kai kicked his leg, the dust clinging to his trousers was shaken off, forming a visible gray streak.

Bang!

Kisame felt a tightness in his jaw, as if his neck was about to be torn apart. His body was instantly lifted into the air, shooting into the sky like a cannonball.

"It's not over yet!"

Kai's voice came from all directions, but he was nowhere to be seen on the stage.

Kakashi, I've always considered you my destined rival. I'm not some useless bum who just talks big!

Kai glanced at Kakashi in Area A, Kakashi, who was surrounded by an aura of genius.

This moment will prove my ninja way!

"The lotus blooms again!"

Bang bang bang!!

The crowd was dazzled; on the arena, Kai's figure transformed into a green afterimage, moving at a speed that was completely impossible for a human to perform.

Each strike was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.

The agonizing sounds of bone marrow splattering sent chills down the spines of those in the Viewing Stand, subconsciously telling them not to watch such a bloody scene.

But people's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the arena in Zone D.

That Kappa with the Watermelon -shaped haircut Green Skin...

That's really strong!!

Kisame's body hovered in mid-air, with only a green blur rushing towards him from all directions.

Each heavy blow caused Kisame's body to twist in a strange, unsettling way.

Sudden!

Kai's continuous attacks suddenly stopped, and then an even more exaggerated force gathered in his left leg.

Bang!

Kai delivered a merciless kick to Kisame's chest.

With a crisp snap, Kisame realized that three of his ribs had broken.

"Ugh!~" He opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood.

"Damn it, I can't move at all." Kisame gritted his teeth. His body was so weak that he could barely move, let alone lift a finger.

Kisame felt as if his entire body was falling apart. If it weren't for his powerful physique and Samehada's regenerative abilities, he would probably be dead by now...

"Five Gates, Gate of Limit Open!"

A loud shout rang in his ears, and Kai, who had turned into a blur, suddenly appeared in front of Kisame.

The two of them plummeted from the sky at an incredible speed, one above the other.

Kai's body turned completely crimson, blood splattered across his skin, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.

A pain that was hard for ordinary people to understand stimulated Kai's nerves, and even this tough man couldn't help but straighten his body.

Dad, it really hurts!

"The final blow!"

Kai gritted his teeth and channeled all his strength into his right elbow and right knee.

"Reverse Lotus!"

A flash of Green Light, and then a whoosh!

When speed is pushed to its limit, it can break through spatial barriers.

Kai's body suddenly sank, and then vanished without a trace right before everyone's eyes.

In less than a breath, Kai reappeared, this time rushing headfirst into Kisame's arms...

Bang!!!

The two men's bodies disappeared into the arena, a huge Mushroom Cloud shot into the sky, and the flying dust obscured their vision.

Everyone craned their necks and stared wide-eyed...

A deathly silence reigned; everything seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and not even a whisper of wind could be heard in the air.

Time seemed to freeze, and the crowd in the Viewing Stand remained craning their necks, as if they had been frozen in place.

A thought popped into everyone's mind...

Is this really an action a human could perform?

Success or failure is no longer important; what matters is this moment: the first Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha Year 46.

That boy with Watermelon hair, wearing a Green Skin, and looking like a Kappa.

It will be remembered by the Great Nations Daimyō, the Great Nations, Nobles wealthy merchants of the Great Nations.

His name is Might Guy!

Mei Terumī stared intently at the D-zone arena, she suddenly felt Tōka's presence fade away.

Mei Terumī subconsciously turned her head and saw Tōka walk to the bottom of the stairs, his body sinking down step by step.

"Hey? Where are you going?"

"This match is over, the next one has begun." Tōka replied coldly without turning her head.

"Is it really over?" Mei Terumī paused slightly, turning to look at the dusty field.

Even though it's over, why are you so sure it'll be your turn to play next?

Just as Mei Terumī was puzzled, the crowd in the D-zone arena, who had been waiting for a long time without any movement, started shouting impatiently.

Is he dead?

"Keep fighting if he's not dead!"

"Exactly, we've only just gotten into it!"

"Where's the proctor? What's he doing? Go check it out!"

In an instant, the spectators in the Viewing Stand began to shout and yell in dissatisfaction, and the scene became extremely noisy.

Furuya Daisuke frowned slightly, thoroughly disgusted by these fools who were always looking for trouble. Despite his disdain, he didn't slow down his actions.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A whirlwind was exhaled from Furuya Daisuke's mouth, instantly dispersing the large cloud of dust in the D-zone arena.

The cracked earth gradually became clearer, with dark fissures spreading out in all directions like a spider web.

The dilapidated ground made it impossible to tell what the arena originally looked like.

"Such terrifying destructive power, is this guy really Kai?" Furuya Daisuke clearly remembered the day Kai entered school.

Back then, Kai couldn't even get through the gates of the Ninja Academy. It was only because of his perseverance that he was allowed to enter the Ninja Academy.

Has it grown to this point now?

Heaven truly does not fail those who work hard!

Furuya Daisuke slowly walked into the arena, where a huge, dark crater came into view.

He glanced at the two people less than five steps apart, and from their rising and falling chests, he could clearly see that they were still breathing.

"Medical team? Come quick!" Furuya Daisuke glanced at Kai's injuries and immediately waved and called out.

Soon, four Medical Ninja carrying a stretcher quickly entered the scene.

After receiving basic treatment, Guy and Kisame were placed on stretchers, and the four Medical Ninja quickly withdrew.

After watching the Medical Ninja's figure disappear into the dark passage, Furuya Daisuke finally turned his gaze back to the high platform.

"Since both players have fallen into a coma, the match is a draw!"

A powerful voice echoed from the Viewing Stand.

Wow!!

Immediately, a commotion erupted outside the arena.

Some might have thought Kai would win, others might have thought that shark-faced Sharks would win, but no one expected that they would both fall into a coma.

Draw?

In other words, both of them failed.

With both sides severely injured, neither Guy nor Kisame could continue participating in the next battle.

Therefore, of the Six People in Zone D, Kai and Kisame were eliminated!

After a brief period of commotion and discontent, everyone composed themselves and turned their attention to the huge electronic billboard.

The next one is coming soon!

Tōka VS Pakura!

The subtitles paused, revealing the names of the two contestants.

With a whoosh, a figure appeared directly beside Furuya Daisuke, so fast that even the seasoned and composed Furuya Daisuke was momentarily "startled".

"Can't wait, kid..." Furuya Daisuke said with a slight smile.

Then his hands flew, quickly Hand Seals.

Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Wall Technique!

A deafening roar erupted as the earth trembled violently!

A square crack appeared at the original edge of the arena, and then a section of the ground that had sunk beneath Furuya Daisuke's feet visibly and rapidly rose up.

The D-zone arena reappeared, but the ground was no longer as smooth.

Rustling...

The sound of soft, low footsteps rang out, and the fiery beauty Pakura slowly approached, gradually appearing in everyone's sight.

It's truly remarkable that the Land of Wind, a land of endless yellow sand, could produce such a rare beauty as Pakura.

However, everyone was more concerned about Pakura's strength.

The world of ninjas isn't about looks; it's not about who's the most handsome to defeat an opponent.

"Konoha, Tōka!" Furuya Daisuke stretched out his hand, pointed at Tōka, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Oh? So this is the Bone Release Ninja killed countless Genin and Chunin Sunagakure the Battle of Kikyo Mountain?" A nobleman dressed in gold robes said with an air of superiority.

"What Bone Release Ninja? That's called the Kekkei Genkai of All-Killing Ash Bones!" Another nobleman standing nearby, seemingly his adversary, bluntly criticized him.

"All-Killing Ash Bones? Of course I know it's All-Killing Ash Bones!"

"Pfft, you wouldn't know!"

"..."

Once the conversation in the Viewing Stand had subsided slightly, Furuya Daisuke stretched out his other hand and pointed to Pakura, "Kirigakure, Pakura!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up and they became interested.

Tōka of Konoha killed countless ninjas from Sunagakure Third Shinobi World War, and Pakura of Sunagakure also killed countless ninjas from Konoha Third Shinobi World War.

One person possesses Kekkei Genkai, All-Killing Ash Bones!

One person possesses the Kekkei Genkai, Scorch Release!

This one seems even more anticipated than the last one!

"Any questions?" Furuya Daisuke looked at the two of them.

As Tōka's teacher, although he didn't particularly like Tōka, this troublesome student, he still hoped that Tōka could win.

"No."

"Without."

They both shook their heads.

Seeing this, Furuya Daisuke raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Scatter!"

With two swift movements, Tōka and Pakura leaped backward, quickly creating distance between them in a few bounds.

"The match begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Furuya Daisuke turned into a puff of White Smoke with a bang and disappeared completely from the arena.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and a somber feeling permeated the air.

"Pakura, how would you deal with someone who betrayed you?" Tōka didn't rush to make a move, keeping his hands in his pockets and asking with a smile.

"What are you trying to say?" Pakura frowned slightly; she felt that Tōka's words had a hidden meaning.

"It doesn't mean anything special. Perhaps dying once can free me from the village's constraints."

Tōka was saying nonsensical things, but Pakura was surprisingly able to understand his emotions.

It's a very subtle feeling that can't be expressed in words.

Buzz!

Suddenly! Tōka pressed his hands together and made the first seal! Pakura felt a sense of alarm upon seeing this, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he decided to make the first move!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Three Shuriken came hurtling through the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, like three howling, ferocious beasts attacking at lightning speed.

Pakura's Shuriken throw was extremely tricky; she wasn't aiming for Tōka's vitals, but Tōka for his arm.

If Tōka forcibly Hand Seals to perform Ninjutsu, he will definitely be hit by the Shuriken.

To dodge the Shuriken, Tōka had to release his Hand Seals, then lower his body and gather his strength to dodge to the side.

"Scorch Release - Over-Steam Kill!"

As soon as Tōka landed and steadied herself, a cold voice, yet filled with a burning heat, rang in her ear.

Using your ultimate move right from the start?

"Tsk..." Tōka pouted, "She's really not cute!"

A terrifying heatwave swept over them; the Kekkei Genkai capable of instantly evaporating the moisture from a person's body made those killed by the Scorch Release look extremely gruesome.

Tōka naturally had no intention of dying like this; to be precise, he had never even considered dying.

Just as the chilling heat was about to touch Tōka, a mysterious pattern appeared, One Flash like a fleeting moment.

To everyone's astonishment, Pakura's attack passed right through Tōka's body in such a bizarre way.

"Genjutsu?!"

The information about Tōka flashed through Pakura's mind, and she reacted immediately.

Pakura quickly took a few steps back and stood still, putting his hands together as he was about to Hand Seals to break the Genjutsu, when a mocking voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"The game has only just begun, don't be so impatient!"
