"Um... can I surrender?" Kankuro asked softly.
He truly didn't want any contact with that disgusting thing!
Shiranui Genma rubbed his temples and said softly, "Alright, since you surrender, according to the rules, Aburame Shino wins this match!"
Shino was a little surprised. He never thought winning a match could be this easy.
The audience in the stands couldn't help but complain one after another.
"What is this all about!"
"Can this year's Chunin Exam be a little more normal!"
"If you're not going to fight, hurry up and get down, don't waste time here!"
Facing the audience's shouts, Kankuro slowly left the arena.
Today, they had an important mission and couldn't afford to expend too much Chakra.
"Proceeding to the third match, Uzumaki Naruto of Konohagakure versus Hyuga Neji of Konohagakure!"
Shiranui Genma announced loudly in all directions.
Naruto and Neji entered the arena one after another amidst the clamor.
Arriving in the center of the field, Naruto said softly.
"You with no black eyeballs, you should just surrender. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve!"
Neji ignored him and directly assumed a fighting stance.
As Shiranui Genma's hand fell, he suddenly shot into the ground.
The people in the stands were stunned again.
This year's Chunin Exam was really something else.
The Genin from Konoha were all more abnormal than the last!
They began to look forward to what new tricks Naruto would pull out.
Seeing Neji disappear, Naruto snorted.
"You already used this move when you fought Hinata!"
"Are you really going to use it a second time?"
As he spoke, he waved his arm, and from far away, a broom flew rapidly.
"Whoosh!"
"Thwack!"
In a flash.
The broom stuck straight into the wall, and Naruto himself was stuck to the wall.
"Can't you be a little slower next time?" Naruto said, tears streaming as he broke free from the wall's grip.
Then he commanded the broom to circle him in the open space.
Outside Konohagakure, Jiraiya hummed a little tune with hearts in his eyes, his wooden clogs making "clack-clack" sounds on the forest path.
"I wonder how big the 'big-breasted' Sand Ninja the Boss mentioned are. Are they as big as Tsunade's...?"
He narrowed his eyes, a lewd smile appearing on his face.
Suddenly, he rounded a bend and saw a group of people wearing Sand Ninja clothes sitting together, doing something.
His expression immediately turned serious.
There must be a demon behind every abnormality.
With a hint of suspicion, he walked directly over.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" he shouted.
The Sand Ninja immediately became flustered.
Their current actions couldn't be easily discovered! If they were found out, they wouldn't have a good time back home!
The leader slowly walked over and said softly, "We're looking at the items in the scratch-off ticket shop."
"Our village is participating in the Chunin Exam too, so we guys came to join the fun. We'll be leaving soon!"
Jiraiya tilted his head and looked at the strangely shaped objects on the ground, and didn't suspect any further.
He let out a sigh of relief. The stern expression from the previous second instantly became much more amiable.
"So you guys also came from the scratch-off ticket shop!"
This made him even more certain that the Boss had definitely seen that big-breasted ninja.
He asked with a smile, "There should be another female ninja in your group, right!"
The leader scratched his head.
He had originally been thinking about how to get Jiraiya to leave, but he didn't expect Jiraiya to find a reason himself.
The person nodded, pointing to the woods in the distance, "She went over there to find a place to go to the bathroom, you go look over there!"
"Go to the bathroom!" Jiraiya's eyes were practically spitting sparks, and he ran into the woods without a second thought.
On the other side, Wu Di had already returned to the scratch-off shop, leaning on the counter and looking in the direction of the village outskirts.
If he knew that Jiraiya would complete the task he assigned in such a manner.
He would have to tear Jiraiya apart!
On the field, Naruto had been floating in the sky for some time.
But there was no sign of Neji at all.
He didn't dare to go down easily. If Neji dragged him into the earth, he would definitely lose!
After thinking long and hard, he took out the Skunk Ball from his ninja pouch.
Pinching his nose, he untied the strap of the ball and descended a little further.
He stopped at a height of about one meter above the ground.
Then, he dragged the Skunk Ball behind him as he continued to fly around the arena.
In the stands, the audience slapped their foreheads.
"Hey, I always feel like I'm watching a fake Chunin Exam."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"I just wonder, where did they get so many weird and wonderful things?"
"You don't know that, it's the Invincible Scratch-off!"
"After the exam is over, I'm going to try my luck too!"
On the sidelines, Shiranui Genma rubbed his head, the boring scene making him a little sleepy.
Just then, Neji couldn't help but jump out.
"Naruto, can you stop flying around with that stinky thing? I'm almost suffocating down here!"
Naruto licked his lips, "If I didn't do this, you wouldn't come out, would you!"
Neji clenched his fists, breathing heavily, "Are you brave enough to have a fair fight with me!"
"Let's fight, who's afraid of who!"
Naruto's mind was quite simple. Since Neji said fight, he really came down.
Seeing him slowly retract the Skunk Ball, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Neji's mouth.
"Next, I'll teach you what 'all's fair in war' means!"
Neji shouted and rushed forward two steps, diving directly into the earth.
Naruto was shocked.
In his impression, Neji was always a man of his word, so why did he suddenly seem like a different person today?
He was so scared that he quickly retreated.
However, after retreating only a few steps, his steps suddenly stopped.
He looked at Neji with great confusion.
At this moment, Neji's upper body was already buried in the earth, but his lower body remained outside.
And judging by his appearance, he was stiff, as if all his movements had stopped.
In less than half a second, Neji's body went limp, and he ended up with his rear end sticking out of the ground.
Naruto cautiously stepped forward and first threw a pebble at him. Seeing no reaction from Neji.
He kicked him again, and there was indeed no reaction.
He felt a bit surprised and quickly pulled Neji out.
Beneath the surface, Neji's head was perfectly fitted against a large rock.
If it weren't for his forehead protector, his head would have been splattered with blood by now!
Shiranui Genma couldn't bear to watch.
He had thought for a moment that Naruto, who believed others so easily, was still going to lose!
But he never expected that things would take such a shocking turn!
Hyuga Neji, who had the advantage in both intellect and strength, lost in such a way.
He sighed, "Alas, what the Third Hokage said was really true. Sometimes, luck is also a form of strength!"
