Chapter 111 Sunagakure's Baki, So Terrifying

In the first group, the candidates who are ready to compete went to the ring area delineated in the center of the square, stood at some distance from each other, and looked at a certain direction with fearful eyes.

"She is Nii Yugito, the monster who cleared the Forest of Death with the fastest record?"

"She's obviously just eight years old, how can she be so strong!"

"Kumogakure only has three people in this group. Maybe we still have a chance!"

Although Yugito has never really taken action so far, her record of clearing the Forest of Death in ninety-one minutes has made her fame second only to Sōseki.

At this moment, the other two Kumogakure's Shinobi are surrounding her.

"Yugito, we will try our best to help you stop the enemy later!"

"Don't worry about us, you need to try your best to preserve your strength!"

The two didn't know anything about Jinchūriki, but they both knew that the effect of Yugito was definitely greater than the two of them.

However, Yugito waved her hand confidently, "You just need to discuss who will enter the next round of exams."

"Huh? What?"

The ring matches does not leave them too much time to prepare. Seeing everyone are standing in their positions, Sandaime directly announced the start of the match.

Before the two Kumogakure's Shinobi could react from Yugito's words, they saw her turn into a blur and rush out.

"Huh? So fast!" A Hoshigakure's Shinobi only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes before he was knocked out of the ring by an irresistible force.

At this time, the others on the ring finally reacted.

"Be careful of her Taijutsu!"

"Everyone get together, don't give her a chance to defeat us separately!"

For Yugito, the worries that the ring is too small to have time to form hand seal basically doesn't exist. Not to mention Taijutsu, with Bijū on her body, a lot of her technique didn't require hand seals.

Seeing the others gathered together, she jumped into the air and spit out rat-like flames from her mouth.

"What is this? Non-hand-seal Ninjutsu?"

"Where are the people from Kirigakure? Get to the front and use Water Release!"

However, these struggles were all in vain. After Yugito manipulates the flame to explode, the others had no choice but to admit defeat.

In just a few dozens of seconds, the first ring match is over.

"It's not a battle on the same level at all!" Sōseki shook his head slightly, not surprised by this.

Fake Genin usually only have Three Bodies Technique, and at most some D-Rank ninjutsu, while the real Genin can use Ninjutsu instantly, and also A-Rank and S-Rank Ninjutsu will be used casually.

Asuma's eyes widened, "The strength of that brat seems to be really strong. Even if it's me, it won't be easy to defeat her!"

Sōseki gave him a rather amused look, "You'd better hope not to meet her in the official match."

Hearing this, Asuma said dissatisfiedly, "Sōseki, you look down on me too much. Even if there may be such a small gap in strength, my actual combat experience is definitely not comparable to this kind of brat who graduated early!"

Sōseki then said quietly, "Then, what if she is the same as Kushina-nee, she has a monster sealed within her body?"

Hearing this, Asuma shuddered as if he had returned to the moment when he saw that terrifying scene four years ago, and asked with a difficult tone, "Is she that one too?"

Sōseki nodded slightly and said, "When she takes action just now, I sensed a similar aura."

"It's too despicable, too shameless, Kumogakure actually even..." Asuma said indignantly and then suddenly looked towards Sōseki, "I seem to understand how the other Shinobi Villages feel about us."

This ring match also made those careful thoughts arising from the format of the match gradually fade.

The real experts still have an overwhelming advantage over the others.

It was the same in the next two matches. Although it is not as easy as Yugito, but with the help of the Shinobi from the same village, the winner has won relatively easily.

Only in the fourth match, under the deliberate arrangement of a certain Hokage, Murakado was in extremely difficult situation, and only after the bloody outbreak did Murakado win.

He didn't dare not to hold back anything. If the dignified Iwagakure is wiped out in the qualifiers, he will have to be careful in the future that Tsuchikage will wipe him away with Dust Release someday.

Seeing that Murakado passed the exam, Sandaime shook his head slightly, 'What a pity. It seems that the battle with Iwagakure is inevitable.' Of course, he doesn't want to let go of the chance of damaging the morale of the opponent.

Seeing this situation, Inoichi, who was watching the match from a distance, couldn't help but feel sweat dropping from his forehead, 'Hokage-sama must have known from somewhere that when I gave them a lesson last time, Asuma said he was worse than Tsuchikage, so he deliberately targeted and suppressed Iwagakure, right? Wait, then I'm also in trouble...'

Thinking of this, Inoichi quickly shook his head, 'No, Hokage-sama is far-sighted and open-minded. How could he target Iwagakure for such a trivial matter? Well, it must be revenge for Iwagakure's actions in the Land of Grass!'

Next is the fifth match, which is also the one that attracted the most attention.

Not only those candidates, but even the Jōnin leader from other villages also have their attention completely in this match.

They also want to know how strong Shimizu Sōseki who killed Zabuza and even the entire Iwagakure would be!

Sōseki is indifferent. He has long been accustomed to being the center of attention and this attention would not affect his state at all.

"Fifth match, start!"

As soon as the words fell, the five Kumogakure's Shinobi assigned to this group suddenly rushed forward.

With the previous stages as a reference, they naturally wouldn't think that they could defeat Sōseki.

All they want to do is to force the opponent to show part of his strength, so that Shinobi, who passed the exam, can have the advantage in the official match.

"Everyone, work with us!"

"It's for the candidates from your village who passed the match, try to force Shimizu Sōseki to show his strength as much as possible!"

However, the situation on the field was not as they imagined. Except for the only one Kirigakure who responded to the call, the Shinobi from the other Shinobi Villages not only did not attack Sōseki, but instead rushed towards them in the most ferocious manner.

Seeing this, Kumogakure's Shinobi was so angry that they almost vomited blood, 'It's fine if only those small Shinobi Villages made a move, but why are you Sunagakure also attack us?'

"Idiot! Your enemy is not our Kumogakure!"

"Think about your Sunagakure's Baki. What if he meets Shimizu Sōseki in the official match?"

However, the three Sunagakure's Shinobi are extremely determined.

"Fool, you think that the Baki-senpai can fight him even with the information...Cough cough, I mean Baki-senpai doesn't need that kind of thing!"

"That's right, with Baki-senpai's, no information is needed at all!"

Hearing this, the Kumogakure's Shinobi couldn't help but be shocked, 'How strong is Sunagakure's Baki? Even now, he still thinks that he can defeat Konoha's Shimizu Sōseki without any information!

'Sunagakure's Baki, so terrifying!'

Outside the ring, the Shinobi from the other villages looked at him with admiration... Baki started to panic!
