Shiga's plan b

Chapter 98: Shiga's Plan B

"Here... this place looks a

bit like the first indoor practice field. The statue of the hand seal is

exactly the same, except the ground is made of brick and stone," Shiga

Taketake thought as he walked into the Tower of Death. The doors were wide

open, and he easily found his way.

The room was exactly like the

first indoor practice field. If Kiba were here, he'd probably think, "I really traveled to

the world of Naruto." This was the place where Naruto's

Chunin exam took place.

Under the hand seal statue, a

small table held a scroll labeled "Secret."

This is the key match point!

Shiga Taketake stopped, carefully

looking around. He recalled the posture of the three when he found Kiba and the

others.

Judging by their appearance, they shouldn't have

entered the Tower of Death. Although I don't know how they went so far in

advance, judging by the extent to which their bonfire was extinguished, they

didn't have time to enter.

In other words, there should be no traps here.

Shiga deduced, but still had an

ominous premonition. He shook his head, thinking, Impossible, they can't

have entered. I must be frightened by their previous layout.

But... still, let's make sure!

Thinking this, Shiga took out some

shurikens and stones from his ninja bag and threw them around the stone

platform and his path. After confirming no traps, he sighed in relief and

walked forward.

At this time, all of Shiga's

actions were reflected in the crystal ball in Hokage's office, watched by the

Third Hokage and the Sannin.

"Hehehe... Taketake is a

cautious kid. Even with victory in sight, he remains vigilant. Not bad! Very

good!" the Third Hokage said, obviously pleased.

Even the Sannin couldn't help but

nod. Jiraiya scratched his head with a depressed expression. "What's up

with this year's Chunin exam? Why do all these ninjas have weird plans? This

Shiga Taketake, with such a backup plan, what are their heads made of?"

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya

silently, then shook his head invisibly.

This guy... is truly an idiot!

"Indeed, this double

insurance shows Shiga's thoughtfulness," Tsunade nodded.

"I didn't expect... it turned

out to be Taketake's victory in the end, and Kiba capsized in the gutter."

The Third Hokage was obviously very happy. When talking about Shiga Taketake

and Kiba, a kind smile flashed in his eyes.

For him, nothing was more pleasant

than seeing the new shoots of these leaves growing vigorously.

This is really a counterattack!

The Sannin thought so.

Since Kiba lit a bonfire to expose

their position, they had used crystal balls to observe Shiga Taketake's

movements. Seeing everything, they knew Kiba would undoubtedly win.

Kiuchi Taketo and Hyuga Yutaka had

lost their basic calmness, rushing forward blindly, their rhythm disrupted by

anger and anxiety. Shiga Taketake was weak in control, lacking leadership

experience. The cooperation of Shiga's team was much worse than Kiba's team.

They were amazed by Kiba's team's

cooperation. At that time, the Sannin exchanged glances in disbelief. Although

these children usually didn't talk much and seemed gloomy, their cooperation

was seamless, shocking them.

If it were the three of us, our ten-year tacit

understanding wouldn't match Kiba's team.

Kiba's team seemed almost

connected.

The level of cooperation and

team's perfect joint attacks played a wave of dizzying moves that completely

defeated Shiga's group.

They all thought Kiba's team would

win without a doubt but didn't expect Shiga's tactics to be well-prepared.

In the end, this precaution led

him to victory.

This kid is really amazing.

The Third Hokage picked up his

pipe with a smile, thinking, Maybe, this is good. Shiga's victory just frustrates

Kiba's spirit. A failure can teach him a lesson, preventing him from growing

restless and underestimating others.

Well, that's good too!

The Third Hokage smiled, biting

his pipe.

At this time, Shiga had already

reached the stone platform, slowly stretching his hand. A relieved smile

appeared on his face.

As long as you get this scroll, you will win.

Shiga thought so.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

No, no, how can you think you've won! To bring out

this Tower of Death, Kiba may have seen through my plan. The possibility of

being intercepted by him is high when I return. I can't take it lightly!

However, after this match, I... defeated the genius!

Still a brilliant genius!

Thinking this, Shiga touched the

secret scroll and held it gently.

At that moment, his expression

changed again.

This touch... this feeling!

Wrong!

His heart tightened suddenly.

At that moment, the secret scroll

exploded into a cloud of white mist.

Snap!

His outstretched hand was grabbed

violently!

Shiga looked down in amazement,

holding a hand in his hand. As the white mist dissipated, Kiba's body appeared

in front of him.

His eyes widened suddenly, and his

face was horrified.

Kiba's fist struck.

His hand was grabbed, and he

couldn't avoid it!

Boom!

Strange power exploded!

Boom!

Shiga only felt pain on his face

as he flew out and hit the wall opposite the hand seal sculpture.

The wall cracked, gravel flew.

Shiga coughed blood, creating a human-shaped pothole on the wall, then slid to

the ground. Stones rolled down at his feet, some even from the top of his head.

"What!"

The Third Hokage's pipe fell to

the ground with a "clank." Almost simultaneously, he and the Sannin

widened their eyes, watching Shiga in the crystal ball being blown away by

Kiba's sudden punch.

This is... a transformation technique?

When?

When did Kiba enter the Tower of Death?
