Mushroom Cloud Above Rock Face

Invincible Scratch-off.

Wu Di had a toothpick in his mouth, sneezing continuously.

Ever since the Chunin Exam began, he noticed his sneezing frequency had suddenly increased!

"Could it be that too many people from other villages have come recently, bringing in some kind of germ?"

He muttered softly.

Just as he was wondering, Danzō walked in, his face covered with a light veil.

Looking at his seductive hip sway, it seemed he had accepted his current appearance.

Before, after he snatched the Sunflower Manual from Naruto, he thought it was a useless book.

But when he practiced according to the steps inside, he found the moves to be incredibly fierce and domineering.

This time, coming to the shop, he mainly wanted to try his luck and see if he could scratch off another astonishing work.

He curled his fingers like a lady's, and in a strained voice said, "Boss, give me a more expensive scratch-off ticket!"

As soon as Wu Di heard the voice, goosebumps covered his entire body.

This damned Danzō, after becoming a eunuch, why did his voice change too!

However, Wu Di still got him a scratch-off ticket.

In this day and age, people have genders, but money doesn't. Who would be foolish enough to go against money!

Danzō happily began scratching.

Wu Di glanced up slightly and inadvertently noticed that Danzō's almost withered fingers were covered in thick nail polish.

"Damn it, so improper!" Wu Di muttered under his breath.

But Danzō was completely unconcerned at this moment. He curled his fingers like a lady's, a confident smile on his lips.

"This old pervert is also thanks to you!"

"You, enjoy yourself slowly!"

"I'm here to support you today, which can also be considered repaying your kindness."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have experienced the current pleasure."

"Honestly, ever since I started practicing the Sunflower Manual, I feel like walking is easier, with no more obstacles!"

Wu Di's stomach churned, and he almost threw up.

"Your mother, hurry up and scratch, why so much nonsense!"

Danzō proudly swayed his old waist, his face full of disdain. In the next instant, a golden light flashed, and a lipstick floated out from the ticket.

Looking at the lipstick's effect, Wu Di felt even more nauseous.

"This lipstick is called Heart-to-Heart Lipstick. As long as you put it on and blow a kiss from afar, a giant red heart will appear..."

"Ugh!"

Looking at Danzō's old face, combined with the explanation, an image already formed in his mind.

For a moment, he couldn't help himself and directly threw up.

After a while, his breathing finally became a little more even.

He wiped his mouth and continued to explain.

"As long as you blow a kiss from afar, a giant red heart will float towards the other person."

"If the other person pierces the red heart, it will trigger a huge explosion. If they don't pierce it, they will be enveloped by the red heart and eventually suffocate inside!"

Danzō held the lipstick and clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Yay, that's great! I really like this lipstick!"

Watching him jump around, the image of the lipstick's effect reappeared in Wu Di's mind.

"Ugh!"

He once again slumped behind the counter, vomiting.

Danzō was lost in his joy and didn't rush to leave.

When Wu Di looked up again, he had already applied the lipstick.

Perhaps because he had never applied lipstick before, he smeared it all around his lips, creating a red circle.

That appearance was a thousand times more hideous than Zhu Hua's.

Looking like this, how could he even blow a kiss? It wasn't necessary; just looking at him would be disgusting enough!

"Boss, do I look pretty with this makeup?"

Danzō removed his veil and winked at Wu Di.

Wu Di couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Get out! Get out!"

Danzō twisted his shoulders and revealed a lewd smile, "Why are you talking so harshly to me, you damned little pest!"

Wu Di completely erupted.

"Send my regards to your seventh uncle's maternal grandfather's great aunt's second cousin's family's little female dog!"

In an instant, the Five Second Man effect was released.

He used all his strength to throw a heavy punch.

Danzō's figure vanished in an instant.

However, this wasn't enough; he still felt unsatisfied.

So, he returned to the back hall where he usually rested.

There sat a large chest filled with all the items he had received.

He rummaged through it and found the Tracking Bomb that Mitarashi Red Bean had scratched off.

He viciously wrote the four characters "Shimura Danzō" on it.

The bomb immediately activated, shooting out with a brilliant blue tail flame.

Konohagakure.

Above Rock Face.

"Boom!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose, accompanied by streaks of lightning, causing the entire Konohagakure to tremble.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, deep in the crater, Danzō coughed out smoke.

"Fortunately, I gave you a kiss beforehand, or you really would have blown me to smithereens!"

On the exam grounds, Hinata and Neji, who had just walked to the center of the arena, felt the tremor and nervously looked around.

Through the window, they saw a giant mushroom cloud.

They had only seen this mushroom cloud once before, a few days prior, outside the village.

Could there be another crisis?

After waiting for a while, the arena's loudspeaker remained silent.

Gekko Hayate said weakly, "Since there's nothing going on, the exam continues!"

The two nodded in unison.

Hinata took a deep breath.

Previously, she had seen the people in the preceding matches use ninjutsu or items from the scratch-off tickets, and their effects were very good.

So, without a second thought, she leaped up and shouted.

"Cute Girl Fist!"

In an instant, two red hearts shot out.

Neji, having a flash of inspiration, immediately burrowed underground and fled.

The Cute Girl Fist missed its target.

Hinata returned to the ground and looked at the empty arena, becoming anxious.

Neji had seen her ultimate move; he likely wouldn't come out easily.

But she couldn't just wait to die.

She could only sigh and gather her chakra at the base of her eyes.

"Byakugan!"

Instantly, the entire arena was laid bare under her gaze.

However, after looking around, she couldn't find any sign of Neji.

"That's not right!" she muttered softly.

Unlike the Sharingan, the Byakugan could easily distinguish others' chakra.

No matter what was in the way.

But now, she clearly couldn't find Neji on the grounds.

"Could it be..." An unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she quickly lowered her head.

As expected, Neji had unknowingly lurked beneath her feet.

She was startled and leaped up abruptly.

But Neji seemed to have activated his Byakugan below as well, capturing her every move.

Just as her toes left the ground, a hand suddenly shot out from beneath the earth.

With a slight pull, half of Hinata's body was dragged into the soil.

Hinata cried out in surprise, trying to break free but finding that the surrounding dirt bound her tightly, rendering her completely immobile.

Neji emerged from behind her, holding a kunai, and pressed it against her neck, saying.

"You lose!"
