First Half Ends

After hearing Nakamura's words, Shiro and the others turned to look at him, but did not interrupt him.

Nakamura continued, "He is Chiyo's grandson!"

"Wait, so you mean it's poison?"

--------Time Divider----------

As the match began, Kishikawa Yoshiyuki quickly rushed towards Sasori to avoid being outmaneuvered, given Sasori's reputation as a genius puppeteer.

However, a puppeteer who gets close is not worth mentioning, even if he is a genius!

Therefore, seeing that Scorpion stood still, he laughed and said, "Hmph, he's just a brat after all! I win!"

After saying that, he collapsed to the ground.

Clearly, Sasori's renowned reputation as a genius puppeteer completely overshadowed his considerable talent in poisons; even the people of Sunagakure were unaware of just how potent his poisons were.

After all, he's Chiyo's grandson; how could he not be skilled in poison?

--------Time Divider----------

After Nakamura's reminder, Shiro suddenly realized that in the original story, even Chiyo couldn't cure Sasori's poison, and it was only thanks to Sakura that she was able to be cured.

Otherwise, Kankuro would be one less person to collect equipment during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

However, this is not Shiro, since he has been here for several years and has long forgotten some details, leaving only some deep impressions, such as Sasori's Hundred Puppet Manipulation.

Fortunately, it's not too late to find out now, and there's still time to prepare.

"The victor is Sasori from Sunagakure." (Sasori's full name is disputed, and Chiyo Sasori doesn't sound very good either, so let's just call him Sasori.)

"Wait, we have objections."

Upon hearing this, Shiro and the others looked at the people from Iwagakure. The words they had just spoken were brought up by Kitsuchi. It wasn't that he couldn't accept defeat, but rather that he wanted to use this opportunity to ascertain Sasori's method of poisoning so that he could prepare a countermeasure.

In fact, even if Kitsuchi hadn't brought it up, Shiro would have. Opportunities to know the other party's information in advance within the rules are rare.

However, since Kitsuchi had spoken, Shiro was happy to watch the show.

"Sasori's poison was only triggered after I left. It's a little trick we Sunagakure use. Would you like me to demonstrate it for you?"

"I understand, no need for a demonstration, thank you."

The referee glanced at the Kitsuchi, said nothing, and gestured for Scorpion to leave the field.

After they left, he said, "Since Ikkyu of Yugakure forfeited, Iwagakure's Kitsuchi has advanced. The next match will be between Shinji of Konoha and Watanabe Asahi of Iwagakure. Please be prepared."

"Shinji, do your best, do your best!"

"Yes, don't worry, Minato."

After saying that, Shinji left the stands.

Although Shinji's opponent is also an ordinary ninja, not a bloodline ninja, to be honest, Shiro doesn't think much of him.

As far as Shiro knew, Watanabe Asahi was the captain of another team in Iwagakure, and his strength was not much worse than that of Kitsuchi. Although Shinji could be considered a genius, he was ultimately a commoner and still had a great lack of Ninjutsu skills.

Sure enough, after the two formed Seal of Confrontation, they began their Taijutsu combat.

Of course, this is obvious. Most ninjas rely on Taijutsu for their main attacks, Ninjutsu for support, and ninjutsu as their ultimate techniques.

After all, not everyone is like Chakra-ton, who can use Ninjutsu as freely as if it were free.

Therefore, the two engaged in a fierce battle. To be honest, this kind of match is the most exciting, and the atmosphere in the audience reached another climax after Shiro's match.

Shinji and Watanabe Asahi fought evenly, and without considering Ninjutsu, their strengths were actually quite similar, given their similar ages and physical abilities.

However, Watanabe Asahi didn't want to get entangled any longer; the longer it went on, the more information about him would be exposed.

Finally, he seized an opportunity, using Substitution Technique to dodge Shinji's attack, and then...

Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!

With a "thud," Shinji was pulled underground, Watanabe Asahi took the opportunity to throw a kunai at Shinji's shoulder.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, although the kunai pierced the ground, it hit a piece of wood.

At that moment, Shinji placed the kunai on the back of Watanabe Asahi's head and said, "I won."

"No! I won." Suddenly, Watanabe Asahi's voice came from behind Shinji.

"What? This is Earth Clone!"

As Watanabe Asahi finished speaking, the "Watanabe Asahi" in front of Shinji turned into a clump of dirt.

It turns out that the one who launched the attack earlier was Watanabe Asahi's Earth Clone; his real body had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.

"Ha, that's impressive, I've lost." With that, Shinji extended his hand and formed Seal of Reconciliation with Watanabe Asahi.

"You're not bad either."

"The victor is Iwagakure Watanabe Asahi."

"Next match: Uchiha Taichi of Konoha versus Yoshida of Takigakure. Please enter."

"Your turn, Taichi. If you lose to such a nobody, you'll really lose face."

"Hmph, this kind of nobody can be dealt with easily. You overestimate him, Shiro."

"Ha, I didn't think highly of him, I just underestimated you."

"Cut."

After saying that, Taichi walked towards the entrance. Shiro and the others didn't say anything to cheer him on. It would be too shameful for a dignified Uchiha had awakened their Sharingan to be unable to deal with an opponent like this.

Before Taichi entered the arena, Shiro carefully studied the combat experience and Ninjutsu he had gained—yes, it was Watanabe Asahi's.

In fact, Shiro had already obtained his information, but because a lot of time had passed, it was possible that he had practiced new secret techniques. In addition, there were quite a few Projection that day, so he didn't remember them clearly. At the same time, he had the system help him forget some of the experience he didn't need.

Therefore, Shiro now needs to review what Ninjutsu he possesses. Unfortunately, it's inconvenient for Shiro to explain this to others, otherwise Konoha would have won more easily.

However, it won't have a big impact, since they can win anyway. Shiro is also very confident in the Flying Thunder God, especially Minato's Flying Thunder God.

A short while later, Shiro stopped what he was doing because Taichi entered.

As usual, we'll follow the procedure; there's no need to go into details here.

"Magic Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique"

Taichi didn't give his opponent any time to react, immediately immobilizing him with his Sharingan, intending to end the battle quickly. The longer it dragged on, the more information he would reveal.

Since the Sharingan had already been exposed, Taichi simply used it to defeat the Sharingan in one blow.

After immobilizing the opponent, Taichi slowly walked up to Yoshida and held a kunai to his neck.

"I won."

"The victor is from Konoha, Uchiha Taichi."

After completing the Seal of Reconciliation, Taichi slowly walked out.

After Taichi went out, Shiro and the others were already waiting at the door. Since the morning's battle was over, Shiro and the others wanted to have a meal first.

Let's also discuss our next steps and organize the intelligence we've gathered.

Most importantly, we need to find a way to deal with the scorpion's poison; otherwise, we won't even be able to see his puppets, so how can we win?

However, this is mainly a matter for Nakamura. Shiro and the others can only offer some suggestions, and most of them are impractical. After all, regardless of strength, Jonin still Jonin.

The Projection of Shiro only brings combat experience and skill knowledge, not other memories, so in this respect Shiro is not even as good as Minato.

▄██● Still begging for recommendations! Some things, once lost, can never be regained, like integrity... So I'll continue to shamelessly ask for recommendations (^ω^)
