Chapter 96: The First Battle

Before long, Chouji and Shikamaru arrived here under Ino's leadership. Chouji was still quietly eating snacks, not caring about what would happen next. In his view, they could leave the thinking to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, sighed with a troubled face. He had already heard about Asuma being hospitalized by Sasuke, and knew that the overall strength of Team 7 was outrageous. But for this very reason, he felt it might be troublesome.

Next, he might witness many things that make him question life.

"Chouji and I both agree with this alliance," .

Shikamaru said

Although the alliance could also be troublesome, it was less troublesome than the potential problems they might encounter if the three of them went alone. Comparatively, it was better to form an alliance.

Chouji: Crunch! Crunch! (Eating chips)

...

Half an hour quickly passed, and with a call to assemble, all the students were called over. Anko explained the rules of this competition in detail.

The general content was that twenty-four Heaven and Earth scrolls were randomly distributed to twenty-four teams. If you get both Heaven and Earth scrolls and reach the tower within five days, you have passed the exam.

"...Next, after signing this death responsibility statement, you can start the exam," Anko said coldly after explaining the rules, taking out a string of responsibility statements.

At the same time, her eyes were always inadvertently staring at Sasuke on the other side, silently chanting in her heart:

Die! Die! Die!

On the other side, Sasuke had a nonchalant look on his face, hands in his pockets, completely ignoring her thoughts.

"The exam... begins!"

With Anko's command, the gate of the Forest of Death was opened, and a large number of genin rushed into the Forest of Death at the fastest speed, and then dispersed at the fastest speed.

...

Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata walked in front, Sasuke was playfully handling the scroll in his hand, with no intention of hiding it at all, while Ino and the others followed them.

"Shouldn't we... walk faster?"

Ino couldn't help but ask.

"No problem, this exam is actually much simpler than you think," Naruto said with a smile.

Shikamaru glanced at Naruto, didn't say anything, and subconsciously observed Sasuke on the other side. He had noticed earlier that Sasuke's attitude seemed a bit strange. Since entering the Forest of Death, his mood seemed particularly good.

Was there a reason for this?

"Do you have any specific plans?" 

Shikamaru asked.

"Go straight ahead, then wait for someone to attack. If we can't collect enough scrolls, we can just block the tower," Sasuke said naturally.

It's really simple and crude...

Shikamaru couldn't help but think to himself. However, if the strength is sufficient, this method is actually the most convenient. But considering that they might be attacked and injured, it's better to be ready for battle at all times.

...

After a while

"Here they come, in the northwest direction, three genin are approaching together, be careful," Naruto said naturally as he walked.

"I need to protect the scroll, I can't spare my hands,"

Sasuke said casually while juggling the scroll with one hand.

In an instant, Hinata's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help thinking: Could it be that he wants me to show myself in front of Naruto and Ino, so that Naruto can re-examine my strength and recognize me? But, is this really useful?

"Okay, I will solve it as soon as possible," 

Hinata nodded and said.

'Did they let Hinata go first?'

On the other side, Chouji and Shikamaru were a little confused. In their view, although Hinata was a ninja of the Hyuga clan, her talent and strength were actually average. Could she really handle three enemies by herself? Sasuke and Naruto, those two guys, seemed to have no desire to make a move at all.

"Is this... really okay?" 

Shikamaru asked with a slight frown.

"It's okay, she's very strong, you guys just watch."

Sasuke casually said a sentence, then continued: "Our scroll is heaven, your scroll is also heaven, I hope to just meet two teams holding the scroll of earth."

Before long, a large group of identical ninjas emerged from various parts of the forest. These people had Amegakure Village's forehead protectors tied to their heads, and their outfits were like white divers, staring gloomily at Naruto and the other six.

"Is it a combination of clone technique and Genjutsu? It's really scary." Naruto casually commented.

"We've met a troublesome guy."

Shikamaru quickly took out a Kunai, staring at the enemies in all directions, feeling very unsure, and couldn't help but look at Sasuke and say: "Hey, Sasuke, can you see where the enemy's real body is?"

"Ha, do you need to ask?"

Sasuke raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "This level of garbage Genjutsu, my Sharingan can see through it in an instant, it's just some Yin Dun clones, too weak, too weak."

"That..."

Shikamaru still wanted to say something, but before he could say it, Hinata on the other side directly burst out with a very amazing power fluctuation.

"Divine Air Strike!"

Hinata's eyes instantly turned into white eyes, and at the same time, a large amount of chakra burst out from her body, condensing into four huge chakra fists behind her, and directly bombarded the clones in all directions in a simple and brutal way.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The continuous explosions sounded, Hinata just stood in place, the four huge chakra fists directly blasted all the clones at a very fast speed, the repair speed was completely not as fast as her destruction speed.

Then, three Amegakure ninjas who turned around and fled were stared at by Hinata's white eyes. The range of the Divine Air Strike's chakra fists was very long, and they could smash over at the fastest speed even across tens of meters, completely knocking these people to the ground.

Hinata is not unable to distinguish the real body, nor is she unable to break the Genjutsu, she just wants to show her strength in front of Naruto. When she started, she also had a sense of measure, otherwise these three rain ninjas would have been beaten into meat sauce by her.

"Hinata is so powerful."

Sasuke came to Naruto's side, poked Naruto with his elbow, and said with a smile.

"Her strength has improved a lot recently."

Naruto praised without stinginess.

On the other side, Chouji, Shikamaru, and Ino were directly dumbfounded, and their thinking was stagnant.

What is that chakra fist? Divine Air Strike? Does the Hyuga clan have this kind of secret technique? Don't all the people of the Hyuga clan use white eyes to see acupoints, and then fight close combat? What's the situation with this chakra fist?

That power is simply too terrifying!

Just got the blessing of the three tails, and slightly mastered the power of the water element, Ino was originally very happy, feeling that the distance between her and Naruto had been shortened a lot, but Hinata's battle this time completely let her see herself clearly and understand how weak she is.

Under such a huge gap, she began to doubt herself...
