Chapter 197 Finals "Is he the instant mirror? He's so strong!"
"So handsome!"
"I heard that he is a disciple of Master Tsunade and Master Dan, and he has defeated the fourth Kazekage on the stage before on the battlefield!"
"Then Tsunade-sama and Dange-sama aren't even more powerful!"
"Mr. Mirror, compete with others!"
……
Ignoring the once again noisy crowd below, Ming Jing stood on the stage and began to explain the process of this Chunin Exam.
There were five teams that advanced to the third round, each with three people, for a total of 15 people.
These people will be drawn according to the principle of avoidance by the same team and divided into seven groups to compete in pairs. The extra person will advance to the quarterfinals with a bye, and then eight will advance to four, and four will advance to two for the finals.
The person responsible for drawing lots was none other than the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage standing on the stage.
Soon, the battle list will be released.
Ming Jing knew that there must be something fishy about this draw just after a brief glance.
Because this is basically a combination of one strong and one weak, it ensures that the battles after the top eight will be more exciting dialogues between the strong and the strong.
Seeing that the opponents Shiranui Genma and Ebisu encountered were not strong, Ming Jing no longer paid much attention to the battle in the field. Even if an unexpected situation occurred, there were Uchiha Yosuke and Uchiha who were specially deployed as deputies by his side. If the wave is really there, it can be stopped at the first opportunity.
These two are the only Uchihas under Ming Jing who can use the three Magatama Sharingan.
As for Metkai, he obviously believes that unless he meets Kakashi, he will basically not encounter any strong opponents before the finals.
The subsequent development was indeed not what Mingjing expected.
"Based on the results of the quarter-finals, the final list of the top eight teams is Hatake Kakashi vs. Yura, Shiranui Genma vs. Sarutobi Asuma, Maki vs. Yuhi Kurenai, and Metkai... vs. Ebi. life."
Ming Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, in the quarterfinals, the students of his own team would stage a civil war.
However, three of the top eight are his students, so the probability of a civil war is indeed not small.
At this moment, Luo Sha's expression didn't look very good.
Among the fifteen players who participated in the third round, there were only six from Sunagakure Village, and now in the quarterfinals, there were only two.
The proportion of promotions dropped further.
In the eyes of outsiders, does that mean that Sunagakure's strength is not as good as Konoha's, or even less than half of Konoha's? Even if this may be true, Sunagakure, who is one of the five great ninja villages, definitely doesn't want to admit it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a good mood at the moment.
In the top [-], his youngest son defeated Sunagakure's Maki with a wonderful performance, which made him very satisfied.
The results of the top eight have already met Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations, and he is even looking forward to the top four position.
Because he prepared a trump card for Sarutobi Asuma that could greatly enhance his strength.
As for a higher champion, Sarutobi Hiruzen had thought about it, but he also knew that Kakashi Hatake was an almost insurmountable mountain among his peers.
In the next game, Kakashi's performance was not as expected. He used only a few moves to cleanly defeat Yura.
As one of the two top swordsman masters in the ninja world, Konoha White Fang and Shun Shen Mingjing, he also has an absolute restraint on these puppet masters.
Luo Sha's face turned darker.
Because Sunagakure was the only one left with Maki still on the field.
But fortunately, Markey's performance was quite satisfactory, and he successfully defeated Yuhi Hong and advanced to the semi-finals.
The battle between Metkai and Ebisu was faster than that between Kakashi and Yura.
As teammates, the two were naturally aware of the strength gap between them. Before the fight began, Ebisu decisively chose to surrender.
The only strong dialogue that can be called exciting enough is the battle between Shiranui Genma and Sarutobi Asuma.
Both are ninjas who are better at wind escape and fire escape, and the other has no advantage in ninjutsu.
But what was surprising was Sarutobi Asuma's weapon.
Chakra Knife - Feiyan.
This is a pair of short swords used with both hands. After Sarutobi Asma injects wind escape into it, it can form a huge wind blade, strengthening his mid-to-close range combat capabilities.
Chakra weapons! This is a rare thing that many powerful people in the ninja world have spent a lot of money and time to get.
There are only a few chakra weapons that are relatively famous in the ninja world. One is the White Fang Short Sword used by Hatake Sakumo a few years ago and now inherited by Hatake Kakashi. The other is the accessory of the Shunjing Mirror, which is called It is the ten-fist sword of the Fire God Sword, the Tail Feather of the Sky.
In fact, there is a Thunder God sword that the Second Hokage once used, but this thing has too much symbolic meaning and no one uses it.
All I can say is that having a Hokage dad is really enviable.
Fortunately, as a student of Uchiha Mingjing, Shiranui Genma has also mastered the nine styles of Breath of Wind during this period of time.
In terms of close combat, Sarutobi Asuma, who has a chakra sword, is absolutely not afraid of him.
The final result was that Shiranui Genma narrowly defeated Sarutobi Asuma with one move.
"I didn't expect that Ming Jing is quite good at teaching students."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and looked at his silly son who didn't feel any loss after the defeat and accepted Yuhi's red bandage with a stupid smile.
Because his disciples, the Sannin of Konoha, eventually became famous in the ninja world, Hiruzen Sarutobi also has the title of ninjutsu professor, which not only shows that he has a wide range of ninjutsu, but also that he is good at it. Nurture young people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has always boasted that his teaching ability is top-notch.
However, Sarutobi Asuma, whom he taught, lost to Ming Jing's students.
Even in this Chunin Exam, all three of Ming Jing's disciples made it to the top eight, and half of the top four were occupied. He even heard Minato Namikaze say that because of Uchiha Ming Jing's swordsmanship and thunder escape, The ability is stronger, so Hatake Kakashi often visits Mingjing for advice.
"So, Ming Jing, the kid, is indeed just like me. He is good at coaching young people, and this magical ninjutsu is also the most important thing Shiranui Genma relies on to defeat Asuma."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already begun to think about whether his youngest son should also learn from Ming Jing.
He still has some selfish motives and hopes that his descendants can take over the position of Hokage in the future.
From the current point of view, although Asuma is still outstanding among his peers, he still lags behind top figures like Kakashi, and is inferior to the Sannin of the same period. He will definitely become an elite among Jonin in the future. There is no problem, but if you want to reach the level of shadow, there is really not much hope without some chance.
"Next, it's Metkai vs. Maki, and Kakashi vs. Shiranui Genma. Now, let's let Kai and Maki fight."
Ming Jing took a look to make sure that the physical condition of the contestants below had basically recovered after being treated by the medical ninja, and then waved his hand to signal Matek and Markie to come on stage.
"As long as I defeat you, I can advance to the finals, and I can be considered a perfect completion of the task assigned by the village!"
Marki glanced at the Fourth Kazekage on the high platform in the distance, turned around and looked at Metkai and his previous encounters in the Forest of Death, he had already recognized the reality and knew that he could never be Kakashi's opponent.
Therefore, Markey believes that runner-up is the best result he can pursue.
However, what he didn't know was that Metkai in front of him was already evenly matched with Kakashi in the previous sparring session.
"Although I also appreciate your fighting spirit, Kakashi and I have made an agreement to put our No. 40 triple competition on the stage of the Chunin Exam, so no matter what, I can't lose to you. !”
Metkai decided to fight quickly to prevent Kakashi from seeing too many of his trump cards.
"Eight-door Dunjia Formation, open the door first, open!"
"Second door, open!"
"The third birth gate, open!"
A surging green chakra steam burst out from Metkai's body, causing everyone in the audience to scream in surprise.
"Eight Gate Armor Formation? I remember that this is a forbidden technique that Tobirama teacher wanted to develop decades ago, but he only created the prototype and then basically lost it. I didn't expect that Metkai actually mastered this forbidden technique. !”
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly frowned, and then quickly relaxed.
He remembered that the Eight Door Dunjia Formation was recorded in the Book of Sealing.
However, it seems that there is indeed a Genin in Konoha who has been persisting in training and trying to recover this forbidden technique.
It's just that even a master of forbidden arts like Senju Tobirama couldn't develop this technique, and he didn't think that a genin who only knew taijutsu could perfect it, so he left it alone and forgot about it.
Now that I think about it, that genin does look a lot like the Metkai in front of me.
"Is it after my son became a student of Ming Jing that he finally perfected the Eight Door Dunjia Formation with the help of Ming Jing?"
The third generation has now completely thought wrong.
Because Uchiha Mirror has indeed developed a lot of new things so far.
Not only did he develop a swordsmanship system, but he also helped Minato Namikaze develop a powerful ninjutsu called the Rasengan.
Coupled with the outstanding medical ninjutsu inherited from Tsunade, it seems possible.
Just as the third generation was silently commenting on Uchiha Mingjing's ninjutsu and teaching abilities, the battle on the field had also ended.
Metkai was lucky enough to have a bye at the beginning, but later met his teammate Ebisu who surrendered and entered the semi-finals directly.
While some people had to suspect that he was a related person, it also allowed Metkai to successfully hide his strength and intelligence in front of everyone.
Even with his strength and unique move names, there is no need to hide the information, but it will undoubtedly allow him to resolve the battle faster.
After Sanmen Kai used the one form of Breath of the Rock, Serpentinite and Bipolar, he quickly severely injured Maki. If it weren't for Uchiha Yosuke and Uchiha Shinsada who were standing by, they kept opening their eyes. The three Magatama Sharingan, watching the situation on the field, took action in time to stop the game, fearing that Maki's life would be in danger.
But even so, the young man could not avoid going to bed for a fortnight.
"Si Guoyi! What kind of ninjutsu is this!"
"What a mighty power!"
"I thought this guy was a relative! I didn't expect him to be so strong. He is worthy of being Master Ming Jing's student!"
"Speaking of which, there will also be Master Ming Jing's students in the next competition! It's the guy with a thousand books in his mouth!"
"Will the finals turn into a civil war in the Mirror class?"
……
Amid the discussion among the audience, Shiranui Genma and Kakashi also entered the ring.
"Tsk, although I have seen the fight between You and Kai and know your strength, I heard that you and Kai recently learned new trump cards from Mr. Ming Jing? It seems that as a teammate, all I can do now is force you. More information has been revealed."
Shiranui Genma held a senbon in his mouth and a ninja sword in his hand, his eyes a little excited.
He wanted to know how far behind he was from the top figures among his peers after half a month of training.
"Breath of the Wind · One Shape · Dust Whirlwind · Slash!"
Shiranui Genma waved his ninja sword and rushed towards Kakashi, leaving a long whirlwind behind him.
"Breath of Thunder·One Type·Thunderbolt Flash!"
Kakashi also transformed into a bolt of lightning, marking Shiranui Genma.
As soon as the two sides fought, Shiranui Genma felt tremendous pressure.
Kakashi's speed is so fast!
Not only does it move fast, but it also swings its sword faster!
"This is exactly...the same as Lord White Fang back then!"
An older, middle-aged ninja stood in the audience, looking at Kakashi's sword-wielding figure on the field, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Hatake Sakumo's characteristics in fighting back then were exactly the same as Kakashi's, including astonishing speed, unstoppable sword edge, and superb lightning escape.
Seeing this scene, he was not the only one who remembered the former White Fang of Konoha.
There are more Konoha ninjas, as well as some Sunagakure ninjas who followed Rasa and others to Konoha.
Even the Third Hokage stopped talking to Rasa at this time and sat in silence.
"you lose."
After Shiranui Genma fought with Kakashi for dozens of rounds with all his strength, Kakashi was finally put to the neck with the White Fang dagger.
"As expected of you, Kakashi. Ever since you entered the ninja school, you have been far ahead of those of us at the same time!"
Shiranui Genma said with a somewhat relaxed tone.
Kakashi had already graduated early when he was in the first grade, and when he was in the second grade, he was directly promoted to chuunin, making it difficult for them to look back.
But at least now, Shiranui Genma thinks that although he is still not as good as Kakashi, he is at least closer than before.
In the past, he wouldn't have been able to fight Kakashi for so long.
The only pity was that he couldn't force out Kakashi's trump card.
Just when Kakashi had recovered his strength and faced Metkai's challenge.
A piece of news that is about to change the situation in the ninja world was received by Mito Kaden and Ebizo at the same time.
This chapter can be regarded as a transitional and foreshadowing chapter. I will try to write it as quickly as possible. I will end this branch tomorrow.
