Chapter 172 Chunin Exam Team Battle
No wonder it's called the inner barrier. It's easy to get in but hard to get out.
Kakugi couldn't help but ask: "But how can the barrier technique still open the door? Is this also a characteristic of this technique?"
"No." Orochimaru shook his head and said: "This approach of almost breaking the barrier structure is not the original intention of the barrier technique. Only those who have a deep knowledge of the barrier technique can do it."
As he said that, Orochimaru looked at Kakugi with interest and said, "Kakumu-kun, it seems you don't know your mother well enough, haha!"
Nani?
Kakugi was stunned for a moment, then looked at his mother who was maintaining the barrier technique.
Umino Xiaozhen closed his eyes and formed the seal, concentrating on maintaining the barrier technique, seemingly with ease.
Is my mother so powerful?
No wonder the village invited Mom to come back.
Then Kazuoki wanted to slap himself on the head.
I was studying the barrier sealing technique from the third generation behind closed doors at home, and it turned out that I had a ready-made teacher right next to me!
In fact, it’s not the fault of Kazuoki’s negligence, as Umino-chan is usually very discreet.
When Kakuzu became a genin, his mother, due to the rules of the barrier class, could only give him the binding circle to get started.
Usually at home, he just cooks and watches his children take care of the housework. He doesn't look like a jounin.
Thinking about it this way, Umino-ko's dedication and sacrifice to his family are really great.
The look in Kadomu's eyes when he looked at his mother became extraordinarily soft, mixed with an indescribable meaning.
........
The first competition ended quickly. There were not many gorgeous ninjutsu battles, but more intense physical combat.
This is the normal state of ninja combat. Most ninjas do not have the means to learn more ninjutsu, and their chakra is insufficient. Combat is still dominated by physical skills.
It's just that this scene seems a bit lackluster in Kakugi's opinion.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, watched intently and occasionally licked the corners of his mouth, seemingly interested.
The same was true for the next few matches, and Kadaki had to question whether he had made the right decision to come here to watch the match.
When Kazuoki yawned for the third time, something finally interesting happened.
To be precise, people who are interested.
I saw Moonlight Hayate, Morino Ihiki and another young ninja teaming up to enter the arena.
I also know the young ninja Kakugi. He is one grade above Kakugi in the ninja school. His name seems to be Shuta.
It should be a temporary team formed to participate in team battles.
The three of them are all around 11 or 12 years old. On the opposite side, there is a team with an average of 17 or 8 years old.
Don't look at the difference in just a few years, but also in height and body shape.
The average of Ibixi and the others is 1.5 meters, and the average of the other side is 1.7 meters...
"start!"
Geng Niu shouted to start and quickly left the central area. Moonlight Gale was the first to draw his sword, and did not rush directly, but gradually disappeared.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
Morino Ihiki was the first to use fire escape, and the three people on the opposite side immediately dispersed.
Shuuta held the kunai in both hands and quickly approached the enemy while taking advantage of the cover.
Kakugi saw that he was enjoying it, and Orochimaru came closer and spoke.
"The following is the same period as Kakugi-kun. I remember you saved Ibiki once, haha..."
"Yes, we are friends." Kazuoki nodded without denying it.
"Friends? Haha..." Orochimaru shook his head imperceptibly and said, "Speaking of which, I almost became the instructor of Ibiki and Hayate, but unfortunately, their abilities were a bit lacking..."
Kakugi frowned when he heard this, but did not refute, but he did not agree with Orochimaru's judgment.
But Orochimaru was still a little unfinished, and after a moment he said: "In my opinion, the ninja opposite is more talented, haha..."
The ninja that Orochimaru was talking about, Kakugi also noticed.
Just now, a ninja on the opposite side encountered the sudden face of Moonlight Hayate in the invisible state. The knife was already placed on his neck. The ninja Orochimaru mentioned rushed over and stabbed Moonlight Hayate in the waist with a kunai.
He didn't even consider the issue of his companions being held hostage.
If Moonlight Gale hadn't dodged in time and looked at Geng Niu's posture, the game would have been almost stopped.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Kazuoki was speechless.
This is probably the difference in ninja philosophy.
Although Kazuoki didn't speak, Kazuoki's reaction was still seen in Orochimaru's eyes.
Orochimaru sighed slightly, seeming quite regretful.
Soon, the game came to an end, and Moonlight Blast and his team finally won.
Next, Kakugi met the team composed of Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, and Yamashiro Aoba, and they also won easily.
Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin also formed a lone ninja to participate in team battles.
Obito was lucky. The opponent was an unrecognizable supporting team, and Obito and the others easily won.
"Okay!" Obito shouted excitedly, raising his arms and only left after Gengniu warned him repeatedly.
Although winning a team battle may not necessarily result in being rated as a chuunin, the chance is always much greater.
"idiot."
Kakugi had long noticed a Kakashi squatting on a big tree in the distance, but it was a little far away and he didn't go to say hello.
When Obito shouted "Yes", Kakugi saw that Kakashi's mouth seemed to be moving and he couldn't hear what he was saying.
But Kakugi felt that he must be calling Obito an idiot.
This is probably the tacit understanding of companions in a small team.
After watching for a while, the next competition returned to the previous rhythm.
An ordinary genin battle, a fist-to-physical taijutsu duel.
Aside from Xia Ji's eight hits and being a bit dull, the competition was quite interesting.
Orochimaru still watched every game with relish, and Kakugi knew that Orochimaru's focus was particularly different from his.
After glancing around, Guo Ying did not come.
Perhaps Orochimaru's appearance here is also to select suitable reserve talents for the roots.
Or, choose good seedlings for himself.
You don’t necessarily need to get in touch now, but you can pay attention first.
Kakugi knew the name of Orochimaru's human trafficker very well.
Orochimaru can't really come to watch the children fight in his free time. Should the experiment be done?
Another competition is over and two new teams take the field.
Kakugi's spirit perked up, and he couldn't help but lean forward in his crouched position.
Orochimaru saw it and gave a rare smile.
"How about it, Kadomu-kun also met someone he was interested in? Haha..."
Kakugi turned his head and saw Orochimaru's teasing gaze, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Hehehe...it's so good to be young." Orochimaru licked his lips and said meaningfully.
When did Orochimaru tease others like this?
It was a bit of an eye-opener for Kakugi.
Among the two teams that were competing off the field, there was an impressive figure of Anko Mitarashi.
In Anko's team, besides Shanfeng, whom Kakugi had met once, there was also a strange figure.
Kakugi blurted out and asked: "Lord Orochimaru, who is the person who formed Anko's team?"
