Final Battle 2

With a "bang!", Taichi dodged Yanagihara Masamune's Wind Release once again, and at the same time, took advantage of the opening to rush towards Yanagihara Masamune!

"Ha, still haven't given up? It's no use."

Just as Yanagihara Masamune was about to stop Taichi, he suddenly smelled a fragrance and was momentarily dazed. Although it was only for a moment, when he came back to his senses...

Taichi's kunai was already pressed against his neck, and he whispered, "It's over."

"."

Yanagihara Masamune silently looked down at the kunai pressed against his neck, and asked bitterly, "Is this also... Genjutsu?"

"Yes, Genjutsu aren't that simple."

Genjutsu isn't limited to Dōjutsu Genjutsu; there are other types, including those involving sound and movement. There are many kinds, but the Uchiha's Sharingan is so powerful that others easily overlook this.

Since Taichi specializes in Genjutsu, he naturally wouldn't only practice Dōjutsu. Taichi knows a little about other Genjutsu, but the Sharingan doesn't enhance them much.

"I lost this time, but I'll definitely win next time!"

"Ha, that's not necessarily true. In the future, cough cough." Taichi wanted to show off properly, but unfortunately his body just wouldn't cooperate.

Therefore, after he and Yanagihara Masamune Seal of Reconciliation, he went back. He had no choice but to go back, as his left hand was still trembling.

Shiro and the others were already waiting for him at the entrance, ready to take him to get treatment as soon as possible.

Furthermore, the top 7 teams for this exam have been determined: Minato, Shiro, and Taichi from Konoha; Sunagakure and Rasa from Sunagakure; and Iwagakure and Kitsuchi from Watanabe Asahi.

The draw for the top seven to top three will take place tomorrow. Tomorrow's draw is crucial because one person will have to play against two opponents in a row, and at this point, it is virtually impossible to do so.

Therefore, this means that it's a death sentence.

Of course, conversely, the one he drew was the lucky one, well, I mean the second one.

Meanwhile, there's also a lucky draw in this round, which is the one that corresponds to Taichi.

They had all witnessed the battle just now; those injuries wouldn't heal in a short time. Unless he wanted to give up his future and forcibly used some Medical Ninjutsu with severe side effects, he wouldn't have a chance to participate.

However, it's obvious that this is impossible. Putting aside the fact that Taichi isn't stupid, even if he wanted to do it, Konoha would never allow it. Therefore, Taichi has become a hot commodity.

Everyone wants to take a bite.

"He's alright now, but he won't be able to take tomorrow's exam." After returning to his residence, the accompanying medical-nin quickly treated Taichi and gave him instructions.

"No, Taichi wants to participate." At this moment, Shiro raised a different opinion.

"Why? Taichi should be recuperating right now, not fighting," Nakamura said, frowning.

"I know, but have you forgotten? Tomorrow's format has a huge element of luck. If Taichi draws that particular group, then he'll have a very good chance of advancing."

"Besides, if we don't draw the winning number or the situation is unfavorable, we can just let Taichi admit defeat. He's injured anyway, so it's not shameful."

"Oh, right, the rules for the third round are different from the previous ones. I was so focused on Taichi's injuries that I forgot about that. Hmm, wait a minute, I might forget, but Shikaki shouldn't. Why didn't you remind me?"

"Anyway, Shiro will tell you, so it'll save us the trouble."

"."

"Alright, now that Taichi is alright, I'll go upstairs to rest. I'm exhausted today."

"Ha, Shikaki, alright, everyone go back and rest, and try to get good results tomorrow." Nakamura smiled helplessly as he looked at Shikaki's lazy back.

Currently, the assessment team is led by Nakamura and Mitokado Homura, but Mitokado Homura has more things to do, so Nakamura is in charge of the management more.

Currently, only Jonin a Nakamura in Sunagakure; the other Jonin have all been ordered to leave.

Of course, he wasn't the only one; he was just the one in the open. There were several other Anbu protecting him from the shadows.

It's important to know that those who can join the Anbu are all elites; the worst are Special Jonin, and that's only a minority. The vast majority of Anbu possess the strength of Jonin.

Furthermore, their abilities are relatively balanced, with no obvious weaknesses.

After all, it's a unit directly under the Hokage, and not just any freak can get in. It's nothing like the Shiro read in his previous life, where the Anbu were either brainless or infatuated.

Furthermore, although there are Special Jonin within the Anbu, not all Special Jonin can join the Anbu. Only those Hokage deems trustworthy and whose talent is worth cultivating can enter.

Therefore, Mitokado Homura felt comfortable letting the other Jonin carry out the mission.

Back in his room, Shiro didn't rush to rest. Although he was exhausted, he forced himself to continue and used Projection Magecraft to verify their information one by one.

Then he formulates a corresponding plan, because he is unsure who his opponent will be tomorrow; therefore, he basically needs to formulate a plan for each person.

Fortunately, Shiro had been preparing for this from the beginning, and now it's just a matter of making some changes, but the workload is still considerable.

Shiro not only had to analyze their Ninjutsu, but also had to find a suitable C-rank Noble Phantasm from the vast sea of Noble Phantasm, which was no easy task.

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. That's how combat skills are gradually developed.

However, in the end, Shiro only found the corresponding Noble Phantasm to deal with Sasori, Rasa, and Watanabe Asahi, but he couldn't find Noble Phantasm to deal with Kitsuchi.

Of course, it's not that there aren't any, but rather that there aren't any suitable ones. Those Noble Phantasm are either too dangerous or require the release of Noble Phantasm true names. (Releasing the true name of Noble Phantasm can unleash Noble Phantasm maximum power.)

Although Shiro can now barely unleash the true name of a C-rank Noble Phantasm, Shiro won't have much Chakra left after that. Shiro can't unleash his ultimate skill as soon as he enters the battle, because if the opponent doesn't lose their fighting ability, then Shiro will be the one to lose.

Therefore, Shiro really had no way to deal with Kitsuchi, but he was not discouraged. After all, there was a big age gap between the two, and it was normal for Shiro to be unable to beat him.

He could only pray that he wouldn't encounter Kitsuchi tomorrow, and that he would rather run into Taichi, so that Shiro could also experience the feeling of winning without a fight.

The next day, all seven players in the third round stood on the field, waiting for the draw.

A moment later, the referee carried over a box with Sealing Jutsu set up on it. The technique on the box could block the detection of Sensory Ninjutsu to a certain extent.

"There are four colors of balls in the box: red, yellow, black, and white. The person who draws the black ball must first battle someone else who also drew a black ball. The winner then battles the person holding the white ball. Let's begin."

Because of their positions, Rasa drew first and got a red ball, Minato second and got a yellow ball, and Sasori drew a black ball.

Shiro clearly saw that the referee's face darkened after seeing that Scorpion had the black ball.

However, due to his duty, he quickly adjusted his mindset. After that, Shiro drew the red ball, Taichi the yellow ball, Kitsuchi drew the white ball, and Watanabe Asahi drew the black ball.

Therefore, the final result of the match is as follows:

Rasa vs. Shiro

Minato vs. Taichi

Scorpion fought against Watanabe Asahi, and then the winner of the match faced off against Kitsuchi.

That's right, Minato successfully "skipped the ticket" again. It has to be said that the spirit of Minato's son in heaven is truly powerful, comparable to the aura of the lucky color Haki.

Look at Minato's life, how glamorous it was! It's a pity that he chose the most dangerous profession in the end, which led to his untimely death. I don't need to tell you what profession it was.

Sorry, I was confused. I thought I had scheduled this chapter for a specific time... No wonder it hadn't updated for so long...
