"Yikes..."
Was Shika really this strong now?
Ye Ning fell into thought.
Shika had always been quite strong, but he'd still been a ways off Kage Level. But now... he seemed to be every bit as strong as a Kage!
He could hold his own against Hozuki Mangetsu, Yuki Hishi, and Kisame Hoshigaki all at once?
There was no need to elaborate on Kisame's strength. He hadn't reached his peak yet, but he'd earned the title of Tailless Tailed Beast for a reason; he was already exceptionally powerful. And Hozuki Mangetsu... Though the original story never made his strength clear, anyone who could use every Ninja Blade with ease was surely a top-tier fighter.
Even Yuki Hishi—the cool, aloof-looking woman—had impressive skill with Ice Release.
And Shika could take on all three of them at once?
Yikes...
Even with some guidance from Orochimaru, his strength shouldn't have improved this quickly, right?
Or... were the two of them actually... cultivating together every night?
Realizing her thoughts had taken a wrong turn, Ye Ning shook her head and glanced around at the Kage as though nothing had happened.
Tsunade was still smiling, but the other four Kage looked as if they'd just watched their horses die.
One Kakashi being strong was one thing, but now this Kekkei Genkai user was just as strong?
Damn it!
Were the other villages even supposed to have a chance?
Two contestants with Kage-level strength were taking the Jonin Exam?
Yagura wanted nothing more than to grab Tsunade by the collar and ask why she didn't just take the exam herself.
That would make three Kage-level contestants.
If Tsunade could hear Yagura's thoughts, she'd probably tell him quite seriously: Actually, if you count the Three-Tails inside Rin, she could probably be considered a Kage-level fighter too.
