Seeing this, everyone's eyes were fixed on this kunai.
Could it be that Tenten had actually learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Even Ryun looked at Tenten with surprise; was she already able to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Based on Ryun's prediction, Tenten had probably succeeded, otherwise she couldn't have created such a distinctive kunai.
But if she was going to use it now... well, never mind, as long as Tenten was happy, he would bear any subsequent consequences.
This time, however, Ryun was overthinking it.
Tenten could indeed barely use the Flying Thunder God Technique now, but the activation process took over ten seconds, making it utterly impossible to use in battle, and the transmission distance didn't exceed five hundred meters, so it was essentially worthless.
As for this kunai she had made, it was actually a gift she planned to give to Ryun, to express her gratitude towards him.
After all, Ryun was the truly proficient user of the Flying Thunder God Technique, wasn't he?
To ensure Ryun could use this kunai effectively, Tenten had even secretly taken some of her father's珍藏 and incorporated chakra metal into it.
As Tenten infused it with chakra, a faint halo formed on the kunai's surface, nearly doubling its sharpness.
However, neither Tenten nor Ryun currently possessed Wind or Lightning Release chakra nature transformation, so they couldn't unleash the kunai's maximum potential; Tenten could only use it in its basic state.
But against merely a Genin opponent, it was enough.
Tenten channeled her chakra, gripping the kunai with the strength of her Strange Power, and just as the tornado was about to engulf her, she threw it heavily towards Temari.
With a bang, different from the tornado's roar, the Flying Thunder God kunai transformed into a streak of light, instantly piercing through the tornado and flying straight towards Temari's abdomen.
Temari only saw a flash of light before a cold gleam appeared before her.
She quickly raised the fan in her hand to block; her fan was also made of fine steel, thick enough to crush an ordinary person, so blocking a normal thrown kunai should be no problem.
This time, however, she was up against Tenten, who was using a chakra-infused kunai and Strange Power.
A teeth-grinding screech of metal echoed, followed by sparks flying everywhere.
Tenten's kunai had directly pierced through the fine steel fan in Temari's hand, and then, its momentum undiminished, plunged straight into Temari's stomach, leaving only half of the handle exposed.
This scene was so sudden that many present didn't react in time.
Although Tenten had dominated everyone's perception with her extravagant style, few were truly worried about her fighting method, as her offensive ceiling was limited by her explosive tags and her arm strength.
Clearly, these two things posed little threat to the Jōnin and Tokubetsu Jōnin elites present.
But this attack just now, its speed nearly supersonic, and its power enough to pierce a steel plate.
No one present dared to claim they could withstand such an attack; being hit by a kunai of that shape and size would surely shred their internal organs.
In other words, this single move of Tenten's had the power to take the lives of most people here, even though it was still a thrown weapon and a one-time use.
If it could kill the opponent, it was a good technique.
Temari looked at her stomach in disbelief, bright red blood staining her clothes.
She struggled to do something but collapsed weakly to her knees and slowly lay down, the powerful iron fan in her hand falling onto her body.
"Big sister!"
Kankuro's eyes reddened as he immediately tried to rush forward, but was pinned to the ground by Gekkō Hayate the next second.
Before he could say anything, sand began to dance around him; Gaara had made his move.
The暴戾 Gaara, though not acknowledging Temari and Kankuro as family at this moment, still considered them重要战力 that shouldn't be lost here, so he had to act.
"I suggest you stop right there."
Guy appeared in front of Gaara like a gust of wind, his calm face showing unwavering determination: "Konoha has the best medical ninjas in the ninja world. Your sister will be fine."
"On the contrary, causing trouble now will only make you lose your exam资格 and delay your sister's treatment."
Gaara didn't answer immediately, but watched as Yūhi Kurenai picked up the unconscious Temari, nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then walked out of the exam arena, clearly taking her for treatment.
"We don't need your Konoha's fake kindness! We—"
Just as Kankuro was about to speak recklessly, Gaara said coldly, "Shut up. I will avenge her."
Then Gaara looked at the big screen, but unfortunately, the next match wasn't his, but Akimichi Chōji vs. Inuzuka Kiba. Moreover, before this match, the ninjas needed to clean up Tenten's tools and repair the arena, as it was now full of potholes and nearly unusable.
Tenten was feeling a bit uneasy, but after Guy stopped Gaara, he returned to her side and comforted her, saying, "Nice fight, Tenten."
Tenten let out a long breath, then looked towards Ryun. He gave her a thumbs up, and only then did Tenten show a proud smile; her hard work hadn't been in vain.
Seeing that Tenten was safe, Ryun stepped back a few paces to the back of the stands, then left the arena and found the hospital room where Yūhi Kurenai was treating Temari's injuries.
Although Temari wasn't his woman yet, she was already his designated Wind Release provider.
Plus, his specially made kunai was still stuck in her, so Ryun naturally came to check.
Yūhi Kurenai had already torn open Temari's clothes and was observing her wound.
She knew medical ninjutsu but wasn't as professional as a dedicated medical-nin, and was deciding whether to treat first or remove the kunai first.
Because of the kunai's unique shape, heavy and large, her past experience was insufficient.
"Let me do it."
Ryun shook his head slightly and walked over.
Yūhi Kurenai looked at Ryun in surprise but didn't refuse, knowing his proficiency in medical ninjutsu.
"Don't forget you already have the True Spirit Seal, Sister Kurenai. Saving her is still very simple."
Ryun's reminder, however, drew a tease from Kurenai: "Going to use your vitality on her? I haven't even considered that yet. Ryun-kun is so kind."
Ryun wasn't embarrassed and said matter-of-factly, "After all, Tenten hurt her. It's only right that I heal her."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Ryun was much more direct. He pulled out the kunai in one go, causing Temari's eyes to widen in pain.
She didn't wake up, though; it was just a reflex.
Then Ryun mixed a trace of his vitality with the Mystical Palm Technique and infused it into Temari's body.
Although Temari's internal abdominal injuries were severe, they weren't fatal, and coupled with Ryun's精湛 medical ninjutsu, within minutes, Temari's wound had stopped bleeding and begun to heal.
After ten minutes, the wound's surface had completely returned to normal, though the skin and flesh still showed a bit of scarring.
Temari finally frowned and opened her eyes.
Then she saw a face she disliked, with his hand placed on her stomach.
She shuddered, raised her hand to slap Ryun's face, and said, "Bastard, where are you touching?"
Ryun didn't dodge or evade because Yūhi Kurenai blocked her.
Kurenai pressed Temari's hand down, holding a kunai to her neck, and said, "Don't move. Ryun-kun is treating your wound. Haven't you noticed you're already healed?"
"Huh?"
Temari then looked down at her stomach. If not for the torn clothes and the bloodstains on the kunai beside her, she would have almost forgotten she had been injured just moments ago.
She looked at it all in disbelief; Konoha's medical ninjutsu was this terrifying?
Ryun then looked at Temari teasingly and said, "Not going to say thank you?"
"Hmph, a Konoha ninja injured me. Why should I say thank you?"
"When I injure someone from Konoha in the future, I won't say sorry either. Then we'll be even."
Seeing Temari had no intention of fighting, Kurenai released her, took a step back, leaned against the wall, and watched Ryun work his charm with a smile.
She had a feeling this woman wouldn't escape Ryun's grasp.
But now that she was Ryun's woman, and like Anko would be by his side for years, plus she herself could retain her youth forever, she wasn't too angry about Ryun's current actions.
Besides, what use was anger?
She couldn't win verbally, and she couldn't win in bed either, so she had to let Ryun continue.
"Is that so..."
Ryun said regretfully, "If you had said thank you, I could have worked a little longer to make sure you didn't scar."
"But now, you're left with a five-centimeter scar like a centipede... so ugly."
Temari's expression immediately froze.
