Having dealt with his immediate opponent, Kimimaro immediately turned his attention to another person.
" Bone Pull!"
Before he could even make a move, Suigetsu had already unleashed several attacks from the Hiramekarei in her hand, using the Bone Pull to pierce through the remaining two, turning them into sieves.
Seeing this, Kimimaro said nothing and silently returned to Haku's side.
Suigetsu found the pair of scrolls on them, discarded the Earth Scroll, and kept the Heaven Scroll.
"You're becoming more and more adept at using Hiramekarei."
Bai looked at him and said.
"Of course."
Of the seven Ninja Blade, Suigetsu could use any of them except for Raiga. However, in the end, he chose Hiramekarei, just like Hozuki Mangetsu, since the Hozuki Clan knew Hiramekarei very well.
Kimimaro looked at his Ninja Blade, then at his own, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"I'd like to request a new knife; the Kabutowari isn't really suitable for me."
"Well, currently, apart from the Exploding Blade Shibuki which doesn't have a suitable owner yet, all the other blades already have new owners."
Bai looked at him and said.
"Explosive blade?"
Kimimaro thought about it and decided against it.
It's not that the Kabutowari is bad; on the contrary, Kabutowari power is quite good. Kabutowari can easily break through defenses that bones can't handle. It's just too clumsy.
"Fine, let's leave it at that."
Thinking about it that way, Kimimaro couldn't say anything more. After all, getting the Ninja Blade already said a lot, and it would be inappropriate to be picky anymore.
"Let's go, we've got the scroll, it's time to head to the meeting point."
The three left quickly, heading straight for the assessment meeting point, leaving behind three Cloud Ninja corpses lying quietly on the ground, turning into nourishment for the forest.
Soon, upon arriving at the meeting point, they saw that quite a few people had already arrived.
They weren't early.
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest first."
At that moment, they saw Zabuza standing on the stands and immediately went over to him.
"Sit down and rest; there's probably more to come."
"Oh? This assessment isn't over yet?"
"Yeah, there are too many people."
Zabuza nodded.
"Where is Ameyuri- senpai?"
"Sleep."
white:...
He asked unnecessary questions.
The group said nothing more and sat down to rest next to Zabuza.
After a while, Ameyuri woke up and came here, bringing all sorts of snacks.
"You've all arrived! Come on, have something to eat and rest for a bit."
" Ameyuri, we're in the middle of an assessment. Aren't you just causing trouble?"
Bai couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"Really? Oh, don't worry about it. We're just killing time anyway. Look, people are still coming in over there."
Ameyuri pointed to the gate, then suddenly looked towards Sunagakure, her expression turning serious.
Zabuza.
"I know."
"I didn't expect Sunagakure would actually send him. Aren't they afraid something might happen?"
Ameyuri spoke, she put some potato chips in her mouth.
"Who knows? Anyway, we just need to be careful."
"Bai, keep an eye on that guy from now on..."
"I see."
After a while, the assessment ended, and everyone except those who had already arrived was eliminated.
However, due to the large number of participants, an additional round had to be held to reduce the number of participants.
"Don't reveal too much of your strength; make more use of Scientific Ninja Tool."
Suddenly, Yuzuru's voice rang in their ears.
After nodding impassively, the three of them completely stopped taking it seriously.
"Well, it's already like this, eat up, you're just killing time anyway."
Ameyuri shared the snacks she had just bought at the opportune moment.
Seeing this, the three of them said nothing more, took the snacks, and started showing off.
Zabuza remained silent, standing there like a pole.
Soon, a man who looked like he had tuberculosis came to the sidelines. Before he could even speak, he coughed twice, which made everyone on the scene feel uneasy.
The key point is that he's a Jonin, wearing Jonin's disguise.
"Has Konoha really fallen so low? This tuberculosis-ridden bastard can Jonin?"
Immediately, some people from the small ninja villages jumped out.
Moreover, many people have this question in their minds, but it is quickly nipped in the bud.
Although Hayate coughed twice, the murderous aura he exuded when his hand touched the Ninja Blade was unmistakable.
"As expected, I knew that someone who could become Jonin such a powerful ninja village must be incredibly capable."
In an instant, the person who had just asked the question completely changed their expression.
The crowd in the stands:...
"That's interesting."
Ameyuri looked at Hayate, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Suigetsu asked curiously.
"It's nothing, this person is quite interesting."
Is it very strong?
"Not really, but their momentum is pretty good. If it really comes down to a fight, they should waste a minute or two of my time."
Ameyuri smile.
Don't underestimate your enemy.
Zabuza help but offer a reminder.
"Hmm, don't always look so serious. This mission is mainly about relaxing."
Ameyuri looked at him and said.
"Besides, Lord Yuzuru is here too, so don't be nervous."
That's precisely why we need to be serious.
Zabuza's face Zabuza seriousness.
"Okay, good luck then, I'll try this flavor."
Soon, Hayate rattled off a whole bunch of things and then started the second round of the competition.
It's basically an elimination tournament; only sixteen people will remain to advance to the final Chunin Exams.
Bai and his team went to draw lots one after another, and then waited to go on stage.
Unexpectedly, the first round was Suigetsu's match, and his opponent was a ninja from Iwagakure.
"Oh? From Iwagakure? Hmm, looks like this is going to be fun."
Suigetsu jumped down without hesitation.
The opposing team arrived at the stadium shortly afterward.
"It's you. You don't look very good."
Suigetsu looked at her opponent and said.
"You!"
Hearing the other party's disdainful attitude, he became somewhat angry. "I'll show you the strength of the Iwagakure ninja."
"Oh."
"Then, let the competition begin!"
Before the two could utter any more threats, Hayate had already announced the start of the attack.
Suigetsu didn't bother with any more words and directly took out the Hiramekarei.
"My Hiramekarei is incredibly thirsty."
"That's... Hiramekarei! You're the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"
"You answered correctly, but there's no reward! Eat my Bone Pull!"
Suigetsu immediately starts with a control skill.
The opponent immediately raised an earthen wall, but it wasn't very effective, because the earthen wall didn't hold out for long before it was riddled with holes by the Bone Pull, and he himself had to dodge.
Suigetsu didn't bother with any more delaying tactics and used her Hydrification Technique to quickly approach her opponent.
"Too weak, I'll take you home!"
In an instant, the Hiramekarei that had merged into one slashed at his waist.
Even though he used Earth Release to harden his body in time, he was still almost killed. If Suigetsu hadn't stopped, he would have been cut in half at the waist.
