"Sasuke Uchiha, I will definitely defeat you and prove my worth."
Sasuke Uchiha had just come down when he heard Zaku Abumi on the opposite side say this to him.
"Huh?"
Sasuke Uchiha was puzzled, but seeing a guy from a small ninja village being so arrogant, he immediately sneered and said, "Save the dreaming for when you're actually asleep."
"Hmph, you'll see."
Recalling the information Orochimaru had given him, Zaku Abumi smiled confidently.
"Are you ready? Then let's begin." Hayate Gekko took a few steps back and announced the start of the second round of the duel.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
Sasuke Uchiha immediately took out three Shuriken from his ninja pouch and threw them at Zaku Abumi, first to test the guy's strength.
"Air Slash Wave!"
Faced with the flying Shuriken, Zaku Abumi neither dodged nor took out Shuriken to intercept, but opened his right hand, revealing the hole in the palm of his hand, his fingers formed an Unformed Seal, mobilizing Chakra to convert it into air pressure through a special device, and then gushing out from the wind tunnel.
These air pressures, like Wind Release, instantly rebounded the flying Shuriken, and still with undiminished power, roared towards Sasuke Uchiha.
Looking at the sound wave attack different from Tosu's, the contempt in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes disappeared, and his black pupils turned into scarlet double-tomoe Sharingan, and then his body disappeared into thin air.
"So fast!"
Many of the examinees on the platform exclaimed.
Some Jonin, however, had a glint in their eyes, seeing a bit of something wrong.
However, Zaku Abumi was not surprised but delighted, and shouted, "I've been waiting for you!"
After saying that, Zaku Abumi squatted down and slapped his hands on the ground: "Air Slash Extreme Wave!"
The Chakra in his body was all converted into sound waves, surging out from the wind tunnel, turning into an invisible wave of distorted air, instantly engulfing the entire hall.
Being in the domain, even Hayate Gekko, who was a Special Jonin, felt a burst of discomfort, and could not help but Shunshin to the second floor of the platform, while his body tensed, ready to take action to save people.
And Sasuke Uchiha's figure appeared not far behind Zaku Abumi out of thin air, covering his ears with both hands, with a look of pain on his face.
Capturing Sasuke Uchiha's aura, Zaku Abumi immediately turned around, facing Sasuke Uchiha with both hands, and the still gushing air pressure instantly blasted Sasuke Uchiha away.
Fortunately, most of the power of this move was used on the floor, otherwise Sasuke Uchiha would probably feel very uncomfortable if he ate this blow head-on.
Even so, Sasuke Uchiha also felt a surge in his body and dizziness in his head.
Just like the way Tosu defeated Choji Akimichi in seconds, the sound waves were causing internal attacks on him through the moisture in his body.
Looking at Zaku Abumi with a smug smile, Sasuke Uchiha gathered Chakra on his feet, sucked on the wall, and resisted the final air pressure.
After the air pressure disappeared, Sasuke Uchiha formed hand seals: "Shadow Clone Technique!"
With two loud sounds, two Shadow Clones appeared on both sides of Sasuke Uchiha.
The next second, three Sasuke Uchiha disappeared into thin air.
Seeing this scene, Zaku Abumi instantly showed a look of panic, and then wanted to repeat the previous tactics, preparing to use Air Slash Extreme Wave on the ground to create a sound wave domain to trap Sasuke Uchiha.
But he forgot that a ninja's battle is a battle of information.
Having just seized the advantage of information, he failed to kill Sasuke Uchiha in a flash, and had already completely lost his chance of winning.
"Air Slash Extreme Wave!"
Zaku Abumi repeated his old trick, once again placing both hands on the ground, fully releasing air pressure and sound waves.
The invisible waves distorting the air once again submerged the hall.
Sasuke Uchiha's two Shadow Clones, moving at high speed and invisible to the naked eye, were immediately exposed, covering their ears with their hands, their faces showing pain.
Then, with two "peng peng" sounds, they turned into white smoke and dissipated.
Seeing that there were only two Sasuke Uchiha, Zaku Abumi's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, a shout rang out from above.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
The hot air current submerged down, Zaku Abumi looked up, and a huge fireball instantly occupied his vision.
Before he could raise his hand to block, the fireball submerged him.
During this period, no one came to his rescue, including Orochimaru, who had encouraged him earlier.
As for Hayate Gekko, who was ready to take action, it was to protect Sasuke Uchiha.
Since the one in danger was not a ninja from his own village, he naturally would not take action.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
The fireball exploded a small pit on the ground, burning Zaku Abumi and causing him to scream repeatedly.
Just as he was about to be burned to death, a stream of water extinguished the flames.
"Medical Team, please come over."
Hayate Gekko, who used Water Release to save Zaku Abumi, took out a walkie-talkie and said.
Soon, two medical ninjas in white uniforms came over with a stretcher and carried Zaku Abumi away.
From beginning to end, Orochimaru, Tosu, and Kin Tsuchi showed no emotion, as if they didn't care about their companion's life or death.
This scene made many examinees feel a chill in their hearts.
As for the Jonin, they had a certain understanding of the Sound Ninja Village.
This was a small ninja village with fierce competition and survival of the fittest.
At this time, names flashed on the screen again.
Soon, the list of the third round of duels was finalized.
Hinata Hyuga VS Kin Tsuchi.
"Hinata, good luck." Kurenai Yuhi encouraged Hinata, "If you win, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Izayoi didn't speak, but rolled up his sleeves, revealing a Storage Scroll the size of a wristband, then formed a seal and took out the camera stored inside, smiling at Hinata: "Hinata, show off your cool side, I want to take pictures for Hanabi to see."
"Yes." Hinata nodded with a smile, then slowly walked towards the stairs.
Along the way, the Konoha 12 were all cheering Hinata on.
Sasuke Uchiha, who was going upstairs, also opened his mouth to remind her, "Be careful of their weapons and devices, they use those things to create sound waves."
"Yes."
Hinata nodded again, but the smile on her face was full of confidence.
Arriving in the hall, Kin Tsuchi, who had jumped down from the stands, was already standing on Hayate Gekko's left hand side, waiting for a long time.
Looking at Hinata opposite her, Kin Tsuchi, like Karin, subconsciously felt inferior.
Only, unlike Karin's envy, Kin Tsuchi's eyes were full of jealousy towards Hinata.
Both had long black hair, but Hinata's hair was more lustrous than her own, and she was wearing an expensive kimono that she might never be able to afford in her life, as well as a figure that was extremely unfair despite their similar ages, and the aura of a young lady that made people feel unattainable just by standing there.
Whether it was appearance, inner self, or even origin, Kin Tsuchi was absolutely crushed, not even on the same level.
To be precise, they were not in the same world.
Because of this, Kin Tsuchi's heart was going crazy with jealousy.
Why was she just an orphan, while the other was born into a wealthy family with a Kekkei Genkai?
Why did she have to fight to the death to grab this spot to participate in the Chunin Exams, while the other stood here so easily?
I want to cut her hair, slash her face, and make her feel inferior too.
Thinking of this, a grim smile appeared on Kin Tsuchi's face.
No one knew what Kin Tsuchi was thinking.
However, seeing her opponent show such an uncomfortable smile, Hinata's eyes gradually changed from gentle to sharp, and the veins on both temples bulged.
