⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Chapter 210 : Chapter 210 The Competition? An Ordinary Student Accidentally Enters a Celestial's Garment! [1/3]
Chapter 210: A Competition? Ordinary Students Accidentally Enter the God Tier Server! [1/3]
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer immediately, instead falling into a brief memory.
Kurenai Yuhi had indeed been on many missions lately.
Among them, many were B-rank or higher missions involving enemy Ninjas, and this month she had even unintentionally intervened in an S-rank mission while leading three Chunin.
Her recent performance was indeed worthy of promotion to Jonin.
Only—
Judging by the abilities Kurenai Yuhi had shown before, it was hard to say whether it was a stroke of luck or if her true abilities had actually improved.
Between a Jonin and a Special Jonin, although there is only one prefix difference, the status and ability are worlds apart.
Removing "Special" means being able to hold one's own and participating in the Village's upper-level decision-making to a certain extent.
Furthermore.
After becoming a Jonin, the missions one participates in will only get harder and harder.
At that point—
It won't be a matter of accidental participation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Masahiko and said, "You are also a Jonin of Konoha, and you have the power to make decisions and recommendations in this regard. What do you think?"
"I have a good relationship with Kurenai-senpai, so I should recuse myself. If I had to say, I think it's better to conduct an assessment."
Masahiko replied.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't too surprised by his answer; instead, he smiled and sighed, "That's just like something you would say."
He looked forward.
Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed as he said, "Yakumo is also participating in the Ninja Tools throwing?"
"Hmm?"
Masahiko looked over.
Indeed.
Kurama Yakumo stood at the end of the line, holding a shuriken in her hand.
Everyone's goal was "first place," because only the first place could get the qualification for one-on-one instruction.
This was true for Sasuke and Neji, and it was the same for her.
But—
No one took her as a rival.
Kurama Yakumo didn't care, her gaze fixed on the targets ahead—their targets were three dummies.
This was only the first round.
The next second, everyone threw at once, and Kurama Yakumo's Kunai flew out—
Thud, thud, thud!
Sasuke glanced over, a look of deep surprise appearing on his face.
All hits?
And.
Every single one was a bullseye!
If it were Neji, or even Ino Yamanaka, he might not have been so surprised, but it was Kurama Yakumo—the Kurama Yakumo who was so physically weak she couldn't even attend taijutsu class normally.
Her shuriken were this accurate?
After his initial surprise, Sasuke quickly shifted his gaze back and casually threw the shuriken in his hand.
Also all hits on vital points!
Thud, thud, thud!
Sound after sound rang out in the arena.
The second round, the third round—
When the number of dummies reached nine, everyone felt the pressure. This pressure came not only from the difficulty of the throw but also from Kurama Yakumo.
They couldn't possibly be worse than Yakumo, right?
However.
Up above, Mitokado Homura couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Kurama Yakumo is this good at Ninja Tools throwing? Did she use puppet Ninja Toolss?"
"No, and the puppet skeletons only enhance her strength and reduce her exercise intensity; they can't increase accuracy."
Masahiko had observed carefully just now and vaguely guessed the reason.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "She used Chakra Threads. Because they are so thin, the average teacher can't see them."
"The trajectory of the shuriken indeed changed a bit; it doesn't look like a normal throw."
Masahiko nodded.
He thought for a moment and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Hokage-sama, does this count as cheating?"
Mitokado Homura nodded and said, "This isn't an ability taught in school."
"But it's not too difficult a technique either. The difficulty lies in developing it to the point where teachers can't detect it. For a Ninja—this is ability."
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, "If they can do it, they can as well."
In the Ninja World's Chunin Exams, as long as you aren't caught, it's considered a success. Undetected means compliant.
"The Lord is wise!"
Masahiko nodded in agreement.
Mitokado Homura was speechless.
Most of the children below, of course, couldn't beat Kurama Yakumo.
However.
Sasuke observed that the shuriken trajectories were wrong.
Neji, through his Byakugan, saw the trajectories of the Chakra.
Then, Sasuke and Neji started using them too.
Steel wires, Chakra Threads—the proper competition grounds had turned into a battle on a god tier server.
The dummies increased to over a dozen, yet the shuriken could still hit the targets through collisions and turns.
"Is... is this right?"
Sakura Haruno's established logic short-circuited at this moment, and she looked toward the referee, Mizuki-sensei.
They're cheating!
Did the referee not see it?
The others participating in the throwing were also dazed.
Goodfellas!
It turns out they're all gods; only they were honestly being ordinary contestants?
In this round—
Sasuke followed suit, but looking closely, he found that one of his shuriken had deflected and lost its accuracy, failing to hit the mark.
As for Neji—
"You used Genjutsu?"
Neji looked at Yakumo.
Kurama Yakumo smiled without saying a word.
Everyone looked toward Mizuki.
"Teacher, this isn't right, is it?"
"It is indeed unusual. Neji is out, the winner is Kurama Yakumo."
Mizuki replied with a beaming smile.
"Ah? Why?"
Sakura Haruno was puzzled, but it was purely a lack of understanding.
Mizuki smiled and said, "Steel wires are still within the scope of Ninja Toolss, but Neji's Chakra Threads were too crude. As for Yakumo, I couldn't detect her Chakra Threads or Genjutsu, so she passes."
He explained.
The crowd was speechless, learning for the first time that a Ninja competition could be like this—
The other side was even wilder.
Naruto was on all fours, like he had regressed into some kind of beast, sprinting all the way on the track.
He seemed to have something he absolutely had to do, but he couldn't give up on the race.
Under his wild sprint, he had pulled nearly half a lap ahead of most people in his grade.
Behind him, Rock Lee and Kiba Inuzuka followed one after another, struggling to keep up.
This was a long-distance race, and he had persisted for a long time. Seeing that there was only one lap left—
Kiba gradually caught a rather unpleasant scent.
Damn it!
Naruto is farting!
The Inuzuka clan's sense of smell, even without Chakra enhancement, is higher than that of ordinary people, an ability that has repeatedly proven useful in Ninja scouting.
But now—
"Naruto!"
Kiba's grief-stricken roar echoed across the playground, but Naruto didn't care, just burying his head and sprinting all the way toward the finish line.
Rock Lee also exploded with speed.
His sprinting speed kicked up a cloud of dust on the playground, leaving everyone dumbfounded and in disbelief.
However.
Naruto's despair brought even greater motivation.
After crossing the finish line, Naruto didn't stop, sprinting all the way toward the toilet, shouting strangely, "Move, get out of the way!!"
He didn't even pay attention to whether he was first.
Rock Lee was almost neck-and-neck with him. After running past the finish line, he ran for another stretch before finally stopping in place.
He lost.
By a hair's breadth, he lost to that guy named Naruto.
But—
Why was that guy running so urgently and working so hard?
Rock Lee didn't quite understand.
On the stage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Mitokado Homura were both speechless for a moment.
Masahiko smiled and said, "Naruto is always full of unpredictability. Although the reasons are all sorts of strange, the results do indeed develop in a good direction."
"Hahaha, that's true—"
Cheerful laughter rang out from the stage.
Masahiko stood up, whispered a word to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then walked toward the toilet Naruto had gone to.
A moment later, Naruto came out listlessly, clutching his rumbling stomach, his mood unable to lift.
"Did you drink expired milk again this morning?"
"No, I specifically checked."
Naruto said with a long face, "But thinking about it carefully just now, the instant noodles and sausage might have expired."
"This life really is—full of calamities."
Masahiko reached out his hand, Medical Chakra poured into the other's body, flowing along the blood and body fluids to the stomach and intestines.
A minute later.
"That's about it, but it's only a relief. You'd better clear out the expired things in your house."
"Yes, Teacher—"
Naruto was listless.
