Overwhelming Victory

Sarutobi Hiruzen:???

Uchiha Fugaku:???

The two people next to Shiraha looked rather unpleasant, as Shiraha had already said everything.

If we win, it means Konoha is inferior to the Uzumaki Clan; if we lose, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, right?

If that's the case, why did they initially have Kimimaro, Haku, and Meteor snipe Itachi?

Despite feeling some disdain, neither of them said anything to Bai Yu's face, only feeling that Shiraha was a sore loser.

"The second match begins!"

As Haku and Itachi left, the giant electronic screen on the wall started scrolling again, and everyone's attention was drawn to Oshima Shuichi's voice.

Unfortunately, neither of the two combatants in the second battle were any well-known clan juniors. Compared to the battle between Haku and Itachi, it seemed rather childish. The battle between the two sides was basically limited to Taijutsu and Ninja Tool Throwing. The Ninjutsu they occasionally used were the most basic and relatively weak.

This is the level of Genin is close to Chunin strength.

The competition continued, and the battles between Genin of similar skill levels were the slowest, as both sides were trying to deplete each other's Chakra and win by virtue of their physical strength.

However, there aren't many such Genin. Those who remain to participate in the Preliminary Selection are mostly Genin from the Ninja Clan who have undergone intensive training, except for a few who are just trying their Genin.

Soon, the battle was halfway through, and the names of the two sides in the tenth match stopped scrolling on the electronic screen.

—Akimichi Yuto VS Meteor—

"Youren! Keep it up!"

"A beautiful win!"

When Akimichi Yuto took the stage, his two teammates cheered him on from the second floor, seemingly very confident in his abilities.

"The tenth match begins!" Oshima Shuichi gave the order, then stepped back again.

Akimichi Yuto is tall and strong with a handsome face, but his slightly overweight figure ruins his overall image.

Members of this family are generally large in size because this is related to a secret technique passed down through generations. The Akimichi Clan has the special ability to convert fat into a large amount of Chakra, so they must store a large amount of fat in their bodies.

In terms of destructive power of Taijutsu alone, the Akimichi Clan is the strongest among all the clans in Konoha.

Compared to Akimichi Yuto, Meteor appeared rather short and thin. After all, he was a newcomer in the Star Hidden Village who had mastered the Mysterious Peacock Method to a relatively advanced level. Despite Shiraha's treatment, the radiation from "Star" still had some effect on his body, causing him to look rather emaciated.

Meteor has a rather ordinary appearance and a somewhat dull expression. He's the kind of person who would be hard to spot in a crowd. The only thing that stands out is his short, dark green hair.

"Please take good care of me," Akimichi Yuto said seriously, appearing very polite.

"Yes, please guide me." Meteor nodded, her expression remaining largely unchanged.

' Partial Multi-Size Technique!'

Akimichi Yuto did not underestimate Meteor in the slightest, so he did not intend to test it from the start, but instead went all out.

He quickly Hand Seals, then clenched his right fist and punched towards the Meteor. His right fist expanded rapidly as if inflated, and in an instant, the diameter of his fist exceeded two meters.

Boom!

Meteor leaped into the air, seemingly narrowly dodging Akimichi Yuto's attack, but the arena was left in ruins, with a large crater blasted into the ground by Akimichi Yuto's fist.

At this moment, seeing that Meteor's body was in mid-air and had lost its footing, Akimichi Yuto seized the opportunity to continue his attack, throwing a punch upwards.

'Secret Technique: Mysterious Peacock Method - Beast Transformation: Sparrow Feather!'

Seeing this, Meteor Hand Seals as he fell, and a large amount of Chakra surged out from his body. Unlike the Chakra of a normal ninja, his Chakra was a light purple color that seemed to be tangible, completely enveloping his entire body.

Immediately afterward, under the control of Meteor, the pale purple Chakra on his body surface rapidly solidified, transforming into the form of a ferocious beast, opening its blood-red maw and biting down at Akimichi Yuto below.

"This is?!"

"Can Chakra actually be materialized?"

"What kind of secret technique is this? Or is it Kekkei Genkai?"

The Konoha Ninja watching the battle all looked surprised, especially Uchiha Fugaku. He felt that the secret technique used by the Star Hidden Village Genin looked very similar to Susanoo. If it weren't for the fact that the quality of this Chakra was far inferior to that of Susanoo, he would have even thought that there was a way to use Susanoo through secret techniques.

At this moment, Akimichi Yuto was attacking from below, changed his expression. However, he didn't have time to think of any other ways to deal with it. He could only consume more fat to convert Chakra, causing his right fist and entire right arm to swell up again and strike upwards.

Boom--!

With a deafening roar, Akimichi Yuto Yuto's fist collided with the Chakra beast controlled by Meteor.

Akimichi Yuto's body crashed to the ground, creating an even larger crater in which his body became embedded.

Meteor was propelled even higher by the recoil, and the Chakra beast on his body had its head flattened, losing its original fierce form.

In this exchange, Meteor seemed to have a slight advantage, but the Akimichi Clan's ninjas all possessed very strong physiques, so this amount of damage was nothing to Akimichi Yuto.

"Yu-ren! Get up!"

Akimichi Yuto's teammates shouted from the second floor, but Oshima Shuichi quickly raised his hand to stop them, signaling them to be quiet and not interfere with the game.

When the Meteor fell to the ground, Akimichi Yuto also climbed out of the crater. He was covered in dust and his clothes were tattered, but he did not appear to be injured.

The Akimichi Clan is also known for its thick skin and tough flesh, and that's certainly true.

"Partial Multi-Size Technique, that's quite interesting." Shiraha was watching from the second floor, looked thoughtful. Although ninjas' research on the body is somewhat biased, some of their studies are very closely integrated with Chakra. He was quite interested in the Akimichi Clan's secret technique. Being able to make any part of the body bigger than desired is a more precise body control ability than "Colossus Skill." It's very novel, but he doesn't know how effective it is in practice.

Of course, Shiraha didn't really like the method of converting fat into Chakra. After all, top-tier training methods shouldn't cause irreversible and obvious changes in the body; controllable methods are the best.

"You're strong! But I won't give up so easily!" Akimichi Yuto said seriously. At the same time, his entire body rapidly expanded, and then he shrank his head and limbs into his body, making him look like a giant ball of flesh.

' Human Boulder!'

The giant ball of flesh that Akimichi Yuto transformed into rolled rapidly toward the Meteor, leaving clear marks on the hard cement ground wherever it passed.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Facing Akimichi Yuto's attacks, Meteor kept dodging in the arena, while Akimichi Yuto spun at high speed in the arena, constantly crashing into the surrounding walls, leaving one large hole after another, and soon destroying the entire arena beyond recognition.

Fortunately, the entire building was reinforced by a special barrier, so it wouldn't collapse due to Akimichi Yuto's attack.

Each time she dodged, Meteor would touch Akimichi Yuto's body with the pale purple Chakra released by the Mysterious Peacock Method. It seemed to be slowing down Akimichi Yuto's attack, but in fact, she was using the Mysterious Peacock Method to absorb Akimichi Yuto's Chakra.

"Keep up the good work, Youren!"

Akimichi Yuto launched a series of high-frequency attacks for more than two minutes, prompting his teammates to speak up again.

However, when Meteor used the Mysterious Peacock Method to transform into a ferocious beast and clashed head-on with Akimichi Yuto, striking the fleshy ball that Akimichi Yuto's entire body was thrown away and finally crashed into the wall. His body, like a deflated balloon, returned to its original shape, looking much thinner than before the battle. He lay on the ground with an expression of utter exhaustion.

"So dizzy! So hungry!" Akimichi Yuto murmured. The huge consumption of Chakra made him feel dizzy and weak, and his limbs were sore that he couldn't even get up.

After checking the situation, Oshima Shuichi announced loudly, "The match is over. The winner Meteor."

Seeing this, Meteor nodded expressionlessly, then bowed slightly to Shiraha on the second floor and walked towards the stairwell.

The Konoha members fell into a brief silence. Akimichi Yuto was probably the strongest among the Konoha Genin this time. Although he was much weaker than Itachi, some Chunin teachers believed that they were not much stronger than him. However, he was defeated by Meteor in a way that was almost like a joke.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Meteor was holding back and hardly taking anything seriously.

It's truly unexpected that Star Hidden Village possesses such a miraculous Chakra control technique.

Soon, the competition was nearing its end, and it was finally Kimimaro's turn to enter the arena.

Kimimaro VS Hyuga Takashi —

"The seventeenth match, Kimimaro versus Hyuga Takashi," Oshima Shuichi read out the name on the electronic screen.

Upon hearing Kimimaro bowed slightly to Shiraha beside him, and then walked towards the stairwell.

On the other side, Hyuga Takashi climbed over the second-floor railing, leaped, and landed gracefully.

As a descendant of Hyūga Main Family Elder, Hyuga Takashi received excellent education and guidance from a young age. In the future, he will serve as the bodyguard of Hinata Hyuga Main Family, and will always be by Hinata's side. He will most likely become Hinata's husband. Therefore, even though he is a member of the Main Family, he should try his best to undergo training. The Chunin Selection Exam are a good training ground.

Hyuga Takashi's team was also a relatively strong team. He, along with Aburame Ryoma and Inuzuka Hana, passed the test, second only to Kimimaro, Haku, and Meteor.

Of course, as a member of the Main Family, after becoming Chunin, he does not need to carry out dangerous missions. He only needs to return to the Hyuga clan to perform clan missions and then gradually accumulate merits to become Jōnin.

This is the treatment of members of the Hyuga Main Family. In the Third Great Ninja War, the number of the Hyuga Main Family Main Family who died was very small. They mostly died during the most intense battles due to unexpected circumstances.

Otherwise, the members of the Hyuga Branch Family would risk their lives to protect the safety of the Main Family members.

They enjoy the privileges of the elite, possess the most resources, and learn the complete Gentle Fist and Hyūga Secret Techniques, yet they rarely have to take risks or participate in battles.

On the contrary, the Hyuga Branch Family ninjas who frequently went to the front lines, while having low status, were unable to learn the complete Gentle Fist.

Without the Caged Bird Seal, such differential treatment might have led to internal strife within the Hyuga clan long ago.

The Hyuga clan has almost taken the concept of being a bully within their own ranks to the extreme.

This is quite similar to the Konoha High-Level.

After Kimimaro took his place in the arena, he said in a calm tone, "You'd better go all out, because I'm not used to holding back in battle."

Although Haku lost to Itachi because he held back and because Itachi was strong, Kimimaro believed that no matter the reason, losing was a disgrace to Shiraha.

Although he doesn't blame Haku, he will never show mercy and cause an unexpected defeat, especially since Hyuga Takashi is a ninja from the Hyuga Main Family and doesn't seem weak.

Hyuga Takashi Kimimaro's words and immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't hold back!"

Oshima Shuichi's expression tightened; if a member of the Hyuga Main Family were seriously injured, it would also be a problem for him.

"Please instruct me!" Hyuga Takashi adopted a Gentle Fist stance, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Kimimaro walked calmly toward Hyuga Takashi, his right hand slightly raised.

' Shikotsumyaku: Camellia Dance!'

Kimimaro stretched his right hand toward his left shoulder, and a gash appeared in the skin, revealing the white bone beneath, but no blood flowed out.

Kimimaro grabbed the Root his arm bone at his shoulder with his right hand and pulled hard, pulling out the entire arm bone, which turned into a sharp Bone Sword.

"Ah!"

The horrific scene caused some of the Genin to gasp in shock.

"What kind of Kekkei Genkai is this?!"

"It's the Shikotsumyaku!"

"This child is the last surviving member of the Kaguya Clan! And he has awakened the Shikotsumyaku!"

The Main Family Elder Hyūga to watch the battle stared wide-eyed. The Hyuga clan and the Kaguya Clan were related by blood and were allies Warring States Period. Because of their bad relationship with the Uchiha Clan, the Kaguya Clan was defeated in the great war at the Late Warring States Period and was driven out of the Land of Land of Fire and went to the Land of Land of Water. This is one of the reasons why the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha Clan have a bad relationship.

After suffering heavy losses, the Kaguya Clan was reduced to less than one-tenth of its original size, and the power of the Shikotsumyaku) was almost completely severed. Unexpectedly, after the Kaguya Clan was wiped out, the Shikotsumyaku reappeared.

Kimimaro, at only eight or nine years old, had already mastered the Shikotsumyaku to such an extent; it was truly a terrifying talent.

Then everyone remembered that Haku also possessed Ice Style, so he must be a descendant of the extinct Yuki Clan. It seems that the Uzumaki Clan obtained many orphans of the Bloodline Clan from the Land of Water.

At this moment, Kimimaro wielded his Bone Sword and launched an attack on Hyuga Takashi.

Hyuga Takashi immediately noticed Kimimaro's physical changes through his Byakugan, but he didn't expect that Kimimaro would directly engage in close combat with him, who possessed the Byakugan and had mastered Gentle Fist.

With the power of Gentle Fist, as long as Kimimaro's internal organs are struck, he will win.

Despite his doubts, Hyuga Takashi still felt some disdain for Kimimaro's reckless behavior, thinking he was brainless!

' Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Palm!'

Clap clap clap!

While dodging Kimimaro's attacks, Hyuga Takashi continuously attacked Kimimaro's body with his palms, which were covered in a large amount of Chakra, infiltrating Kimimaro's body with Chakra to attack his internal organs.

However, after a series of attacks, Hyuga Takashi discovered that Kimimaro's meridians, which he had struck, were completely unaffected, so he immediately increased his Chakra output and the speed of his palm strikes.

'Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms!'

'The Eight Trigrams, number thirty-two!'

Hyuga Takashi suddenly cried out in pain and was sent flying by Kimimaro's punch.

Everyone noticed that Hyuga Takashi Takashi's hands were covered in blood, with flesh turned inside out and the wounds on his palms so deep that bone was visible.

Sharp bone spurs grew from Kimimaro's ribs and pierced his skin on his back, making him look extremely ferocious. He seemed to have turned into a human weapon.

"Stop! The match is over! The winner is Kimimaro!" Seeing Kimimaro raise his foot, seemingly about to launch another attack, Oshima Shuichi quickly blocked Kimimaro's path, announced the result of the match, and then rushed to check on Hyuga Takashi's injuries.

No one expected that the Shikotsumyaku would have such a strong restraining effect on the Gentle Fist.
