The Konoha Ninja guarding the monitoring screen also felt very uncomfortable hearing the words of these Cloud Ninja, and immediately retorted.

"Don't underestimate us Konoha Ninja. I think that Killer B you speak of is nothing special. Don't cry when you lose later."

"Exactly, you Cloud Ninja only know how to brag."

Although it was a Peaceful Era, past grudges were not so easily erased.

In just a few words, the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

However, neither side's ninja were inexperienced rookies. Although angry, they would not lose their reason and do anything out of line because of it.

Moreover, there were Sunagakure ninja present, and they did not want to be laughed at.

"It's just a war of words. Killer B will make you shut up obediently later."

"Likewise. Kushina is not to be trifled with either."

The Konoha Ninja present were betting on Kushina, as they all knew she had grown up alongside Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade.

Furthermore, the name "Crimson Pepper" was known to ninja with some experience.

As for Qingshui, only a few people currently knew his strength, so it was normal for him to have no fame.

The perspective shifted back to Qingshui.

Facing Motoi's provocation, Qingshui directly ignored him and looked at Killer B, asking the question that concerned him the most.

"What scroll do you have in your hands?"

Completing the mission first was the most important thing.

This reaction made Motoi extremely angry.

He was considered one of the top ninja in Kumogakure, yet he was ignored by an elderly Konoha Genin participating in a Joint Chunin Exam.

He trembled with rage!

Originally, Motoi had wanted to say that there wasn't much of a grudge between him and Qingshui.

If Qingshui voluntarily surrendered, he could give him some face and let him off the hook.

But now, he couldn't hold back. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and shot towards Qingshui, who was looking at Killer B, like an arrow released from a bow.

Today, he was determined to teach this ignorant old man a lesson right here.

Bang!

The next moment, Motoi, who had charged at Qingshui, was sent flying back with a single punch.

Because the event happened too suddenly, he didn't even know what had just happened, leaving him completely bewildered.

How did he suddenly get hit by someone?

Could it be that the uncle did it?

Many doubts flashed through Motoi's mind. It wasn't until Killer B caught him and stabilized him that he realized the person who had attacked him was Kushina.

Knowing that Qingshui hadn't made the move, Motoi felt much better.

He couldn't accept the fact that he would be punched flying by a high-ranking Genin.

That would be too humiliating!

At least Kushina was the mission target for their arrival in Konoha.

That punch just now also proved that the opponent's strength was indeed not weak, worthy of the village going to such great lengths.

But how could Motoi have known that among the five people present, Qingshui was actually the strongest one.

His belief that he could teach Qingshui a lesson was purely his own delusion.

Kushina naturally knew that Motoi couldn't possibly harm Qingshui.

The reason she made a move was because she had already decided to perform well in the second exam and carry Qingshui.

This scene also made the Konoha Ninja watching from the monitoring room cheer.

"See? As long as Kushina makes a move, you Cloud Ninja are no match!"

"Tch, just punching Motoi flying. The strongest, Killer B, hasn't made a move yet. Don't get cocky."

Killer B naturally didn't know what was happening in the monitoring room.

At this moment, he looked at Kushina with an expression of interest.

"Your strength is good. I hope you can give me a good, satisfying fight."

Just as Qingshui had ignored Motoi earlier, Killer B ignored Qingshui's question.

They didn't come here to steal the scroll.

Of course, if they could obtain the Heaven Scroll they needed, it would be the best of both worlds.

Before his voice even fell, Killer B had already drawn his Ninja Sword and charged forward.

His strength was much greater than Motoi's. In terms of speed alone, the two were not comparable.

In almost the blink of an eye, Killer B had already reached Kushina.

The Ninja Sword in his hand turned into a white light, slashing out with lightning speed.

This speed startled Kushina.

Without daring to be careless, she immediately used Shunshin to dodge the opponent's attack.

Next, she appeared behind Killer B, kunai already in hand, thrusting down.

Clang!

Killer B turned and blocked the kunai with his Ninja Sword.

In their initial exchange, the two were evenly matched.

Kushina was even more surprised.

Among peers, she rarely encountered ninjas who could match her.

Even Namikaze Minato, who was always called a Commoner Genius, she looked down on him.

Yet, this Cloud ninja before her had done it, and judging by his age, he seemed even younger than her.

Clearly, the opponent was also a complete young genius.

But this did not make Kushina afraid; instead, it further ignited her competitive spirit.

Killer B felt the same way.

Within Kumogakure, he couldn't find any opponents his age either.

If not for still being in his physical development period, his strength would have long surpassed ordinary Jonin.

Next, Kushina and Killer B engaged in a fierce battle.

Though they were just two children, the destruction they caused in combat made many adult Chunin feel inferior.

In just a few rounds, the surrounding ground and large trees were already heavily scarred.

At the same time, Motoi looked at Qingshui again.

"Uncle, no one is here to help you now. Let's see what you can do!"

After speaking, he once again charged towards Qingshui, launching an attack.

Looking at him, Qingshui's expression was blank. He simply extended one hand and grabbed, halting Motoi's offensive.

This sudden scene made Motoi's expression change drastically.

"What?"

Immediately, before he could react, Qingshui kicked him in the abdomen.

Instantly, Motoi felt as if he had been hit by a ferocious beast. The terrifying force brought him unbearable agony.

His eyes snapped wide open, his face contorted.

Not only that, the power of this kick sent him flying backward.

His speed was even faster than when he charged forward.

Shiko, who had been silent, was so shocked by the scene unfolding before her that she forgot to intervene. It wasn't until Motoi crashed into and broke a large tree before finally hitting the ground that she reacted.

After landing, blood at the corner of his mouth, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Before passing out, Motoi could never have imagined that the uncle he always looked down on would defeat him with just one kick.

He wasn't some Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, after all.

"Motoi!"

Only then did Shiko rush to Motoi's side in great alarm.
