Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique!
Sharingan, activate!
Fugaku and Juzo Biwa both opened with conventional moves.
Fugaku directly activated his Sharingan, while Juzo Biwa used Kirigakure's common "Hidden Mist Technique."
"This is bad. Akaseki, can you see through it?" Ranwu immediately realized something was wrong.
An ordinary "Hidden Mist Technique" could only affect the viewing range of the most basic One-Tomoe Sharingan. However, if someone possessed stronger mastery over Water Style Chakra or specifically over the "Hidden Mist Technique," its effects would be far more pronounced.
"I can't see through it. Visibility is only about a dozen meters." As Akaseki spoke, he had already deactivated his Sharingan.
This was already the third arena. Akaseki still needed to prepare afterward, restore his Dojutsu Power, and take the field in his best condition.
"Fugaku is only a quasi Two-Tomoe, right? His vision is much worse than yours, so he probably can't see much either." Ranwu had sensed from the start that the mist before them had been enhanced. It was nothing like an ordinary "Hidden Mist Technique."
The spectators below naturally began discussing it among themselves—now they could not see anything at all!
"What are we supposed to watch like this?" a wealthy merchant complained with a frown.
Someone beside him said, "It doesn't matter. Missions never care about the process anyway. Knowing the outcome is enough."
Naturally, ordinary spectators had no small complaints about staring at this faint mist.
But just then—
"This goes against the original purpose of holding the joint Chunin Exams. As the host, let me provide everyone with a little broadcast."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, rose to his feet and stepped forward a few paces, forming hand seals.
