Chapter 79 Wind Shadow
Seeing that there were no other questions, Genma Shiranui said, "Listen up, you lot. Although the venue is different this time, it's still the same as the preliminaries. There are no rules. The winner will be decided when one side is eliminated or concedes defeat."
"However, if I believe the outcome is decided, I will stop the match, and no one is allowed to resist."
Then Genma Shiranui announced the lineup for this round: "So the first round is Kankuro vs. Shino Aburame. These two will stay, and the rest of you will return to the rest room."
On the contestant's platform, Kankuro gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, "My match doesn't matter at all, and I don't want to reveal the secrets of the crow before the plan is executed."
This operation is crucial to the entire plan; exposing the secrets of Ravencliff too early could pose a huge risk to subsequent operations.
Temari, standing to the side, gestured to Kankuro with her eyes. After some thought, Kankuro finally raised his hand and loudly declared, "Examiner, I abstain!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in commotion. Genma Shiranui looked at Kankuro and asked with some doubt, "Are you sure you want to forfeit?"
Kankuro nodded firmly and replied, "I have decided to forfeit this Chunin Exam. Please continue the competition."
Shino Aburame, who had just arrived in the center of the arena, exclaimed in surprise, "What...?"
He had been looking forward to showing his strength in the Chunin Exams, but he never expected to get such an unexpected result.
Genma Shiranui sighed helplessly, then announced loudly: "In the first Chunin Exam selection match, due to Kankuro's forfeit, Shino Aburame won without a fight."
The Third Hokage, sitting on the highest platform, frowned slightly and glanced at the Kazekage.
He hadn't expected that the opponent would choose to forfeit in the first match. What would the daimyo think? But since things had come to this, he could only accept reality.
The Third Hokage looked at the Kazekage with a forced smile: "What's going on, Kazekage-sama? You're not going to forfeit the second match either, are you?"
The Kazekage did not respond to the Third Hokage's words, but simply looked quietly at the scene.
As expected, the audience in the stands expressed their dissatisfaction when they saw that the Chunin Exams had been abandoned before the first round even began.
"What the hell is going on? They forfeited in the very first match. Could it be a fixed match?"
"What's going on?! Get your game straight! I didn't come all this way just to see you guys forfeit!"
Boruto felt that although the audience was very enthusiastic, they were just looking forward to the next match they wanted to see.
Unable to bear it any longer, Temari, standing on the platform, stepped onto the field using her Samsung Fan.
Genma Shiranui looked at Temari and asked, "Who are you?"
Temari said indifferently, "Now it should be my turn, right?"
"You seem to have a lot of fighting spirit, unlike the last match." Then Genma Shiranui nodded and said, "Next match: Temari vs. Shikamaru Nara."
"Hey, the last one, come down quickly," Genma Shiranui said to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru complained, "Ugh, why are you so interested? Damn it, if this happens..." He immediately considered abstaining as well.
"Great, Shikamaru! Go for it!" Naruto pushed Shikamaru off the stage.
Boruto's lips twitched. Could it be that Naruto pushed Shikamaru off the field because he realized Shikamaru didn't want to play?
Shikamaru felt helpless after being pushed off the stage by Naruto.
Shikamaru initially lost his fighting spirit at the thought of his opponent being a woman, but under Temari's relentless attacks, he finally began to fight back.
However, the limit of the Shadow Imitation Technique is that it cannot change the total area of the shadow, and Temari has been attacking from a distance, so the length of the shadow cannot reach her.
However, just when Temari had the victory in the first game, Shikamaru used the shadow left by Temari when she cut the tree stump with "Kamaitachi" as a medium to successfully control Temari.
In the end, Shikamaru voluntarily conceded defeat, explaining that his Shadow Imitation Technique was about to expire and he couldn't think of a way to win, thus Temari won the match.
When Boruto noticed the strange look in Temari's eyes as she looked at Shikamaru, he knew that Temari had become curious about Shikamaru from that moment on.
Unexpectedly, Shikamaru, who always disliked troublesome things, married a wife with such a strong fighting spirit in the future.
......
The Kazekage in the stands turned to the Third Hokage and said, "I didn't expect that it would be Konoha that forfeited this time."
Unexpectedly, in just the first two games, dramatic forfeit scenes occurred in each one.
"When weighing danger and mission, survival must be the priority, otherwise one is not qualified to become a Chunin. But I still think Shikamaru gave up too early."
However, Shikamaru received unanimous praise from the examiners, who all felt that he was very suitable to be promoted to Chunin.
At this moment, the audience's emotions were ignited, and what was about to unfold was a highly anticipated showdown: Uchiha Sasuke's match.
"The Uchiha match is almost here! But he's going to face Naruto instead."
"No matter what, Naruto is definitely no match for the Uchiha."
"Hey, did you guys hear? The Uchiha clan is going to forfeit this match."
"It seems he suffered a serious injury during training before the competition."
"Really? I took time off work specifically to watch this game."
"Could it be that the Uchiha are afraid of Naruto, so they deliberately didn't show up?"
"No way? Even though the Uchiha clan has declined, he's still an Uchiha."
The audience members expressed their dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan's absence.
......
At this moment, a daimyo looked at the information in his hand and said, "As expected, the Uchiha clan won the final match, after all, they have always been the focus of attention."
Once this name was mentioned, it was immediately echoed by the other daimyo, who all felt that the outcome of the match was already decided.
Naruto was now standing in the center of the arena, his fists clenched, waiting for Sasuke to appear.
Just as the Third Hokage was about to announce Sasuke's forfeit, the Kazekage spoke up: "Let's wait... let's wait another 10 minutes. The guests are looking forward to this match more than anyone else. It would be too cruel to end the match."
"We've already waited this long, so waiting another 10 minutes won't hurt."
......
While waiting for Sasuke to arrive, Boruto felt a strange sensation, as if a pair of eyes were constantly watching him.
Boruto looked up and found that the gaze came from the Kazekage.
Boruto couldn't help but ask Shikamaru beside him, "Which generation of Kazekage is this one?"
Shikamaru frowned, but still replied, "Here comes the Fourth Kazekage."
