Chapter 326 The Battle Between Shikamaru and Choji

Standing steadily on the ground, Temari looked at him and thanked him with a complicated tone.

Thank you.

Temari didn't seem to care about that; she just smiled.

"I think there's no need for this battle to continue."

Tian Tian clenched her fists upon hearing this.

She used her strongest attack, but she couldn't even touch her opponent.

She now has very little chakra left in her body, but Temari appears to have only a few scratches from where she had previously cut herself.

There was no sign of excessive chakra consumption.

Does this guy have that much chakra?

"Next time... I'll definitely win!"

Tian Tian said unwillingly.

"I am looking forward."

Temari walked up to Tenten, extended her hand, and said with a smile, "I underestimated you before. Your performance today really exceeded my expectations."

Both the initial struggle and the large iron ball later on undoubtedly put pressure on her.

If she hadn't been able to restrain her opponent, the outcome might have been very different.

I won't lose again next time!

Tian Tian gave a soft hum and took her hand, saying...

Temari smiled and said, "Then we'll have another match sometime."

This guy!

Tiantian's eyes narrowed.

Sparks seemed to fly between their eyes.

"You two... if you don't want to continue, one of you can admit defeat and leave the game."

Genma Shiranui reminded them, "Give the court to the next player."

"Oh? I'm sorry."

The flame between Temari and Tenten was extinguished.

I surrender!

Tenten decisively conceded defeat, bowed slightly, and then ran away with Temari.

"Don't you need to get some treatment?"

After leaving the field, Temari refused treatment from the medical team, looking somewhat puzzled.

Temari gave her a meaningful look and said with a smile, "I'll have Aoba treat me."

"?"

Every day, he stared wide-eyed.

Suddenly realizing something, she said incredulously, "You helped me in the end, not because you didn't want me to get hurt, and then you wouldn't let Qingye treat me, would you?"

You can understand it that way.

Temari smiled and quickened her pace, running towards Shirokumo Aoba's location.

"You bastard!"

The slight goodwill that Tian Tian had finally managed to develop towards Osaka had completely vanished.

When she returned to the audience seats.

Temari was already leaning against Shirakumo Aoba, receiving his treatment.

"Qingye, will I be left with scars?"

Sunagakure is a very cruel place, and Temari has been a genius of Sunagakure since childhood. Naturally, she has experienced all kinds of battles from childhood to adulthood.

Having scars on one's body is inevitable.

Scars were once considered a ninja's badge of honor, but Temari no longer sees it that way.

"No, with my medical ninjutsu skills, your skin might even be better than before after the treatment."

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile.

And it's not just the wounds on my hands.

If Temari is willing to let him see other wounds, Shirakumo Aoba promises to provide perfect treatment for her as well.

"That's good."

Temari has a sweet smile.

The happier she is when she smiles, the more annoyed I become every day.

Tian Tian walked over with a menacing look on her face.

"Tian Tian, ​​that move you just made was so cool!"

Baiyun Qingye noticed the other party immediately.

While treating Temari, he chatted with Tenten.

"What's the use of being handsome? You still lost in the end. You don't need to comfort me like that. I'm not that fragile."

Tenten's expression softened slightly as she walked to the side of Shirokumo Aoba, though Yakumo was still standing between them.

"I'm not just trying to comfort you, Tenten, but you were really cool when you fought Temari just now!"

Yakumo also linked arms with Tenten, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Really...really?"

I'm getting a little embarrassed by being stared at every day.

"Of course it's true."

Several people, including Baiyun and Qingye, echoed this sentiment.

Although they lost, Tian Tian's performance was undoubtedly the most outstanding so far.

Tian Tian's previously menacing expression completely softened.

The initial dissatisfaction in my heart has also dissipated considerably.

To be honest, Tian Tian's current strength is already quite good.

This is enough to show that it has improved significantly compared to the original work.

After all, in the original story, Tenten was completely suppressed by Temari, and didn't even get a chance to touch her until the very end.

Now that things are evenly matched, it's time for Temari to unleash her ultimate move.

The group then chatted about the upcoming matches.

Not long after, Sakura and Ino returned.

Ino also had a bitter face at this moment, with surprise in her eyes.

She quietly approached Bai Yunqingye, pinched his waist, and whispered, "Qingye, you knew all along, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"Then let me tell you, it's cheating, isn't it?"

Bai Yunqingye said with a hint of helplessness.

"..."

Ino opened her mouth, thought about it, and realized that it did seem to be true.

However, she was still somewhat unhappy, both towards Shirakumo Aoba and towards Sakura.

You didn't even tell her about something so important.

Sakura also said something about worrying that her mother would dislike her if she knew she had a second personality.

Are they looking down on her?

Seeing Ino's sullen expression, Shirokumo Aoba couldn't help but glance at Sakura.

Sakura blinked innocently at her.

She had already explained it to Ino properly, but Ino was still a little upset.

What could she possibly do?

Baiyun Qingye didn't know what to say either.

He simply took Ino's hand quietly and gently comforted her.

And then the site was restored again.

Genma Shiranui also announced the lineup for the next match.

The next two matches were still battles between Konoha ninjas and ninjas from other villages.

After all, Konoha was fighting on its own soil, so it had the most participants in the Chunin Exams, and naturally, the most people passed.

The next two matches are Shikamaru vs. Omoi and Choji vs. Akatsuchi.

It's worth mentioning that because Shirokumo Aoba had dealt with the Sound Ninja Team in advance, Choji did not encounter Rokudo Tosu during the preliminaries.

Instead, they encountered another minor character.

Therefore, they achieved victory.

However, in the third exam, he faced Akatsuchi, a disciple of the Earth Shadow.

Akatsuchi used Earth Release: Steel Formation to create a rock giant that then fought with Choji.

In the end, Choji was no match for Akatsuchi and suffered a regrettable defeat.

Just like in the original story, Shikamaru, after a series of calculations, used the Shadow Technique to control Omoi, but lacked a way to win.

They ultimately chose to surrender.

This caused Ino to complain, but it did divert some of her attention.

Omoi initially intended to surrender, but only went into the game after being warned by Samui. In the end, he ended up scaring himself quite a bit.

He accidentally defeated Konoha's genius.

He still thought it was a trap deliberately set by Konoha.

He thought today would be the last day he would see the sun.
