Chapter 153 Uchiha Huoyu vs Yeyuekai

The next morning, Ye Shan woke up early, looked at Tsunade who was sleeping, got up quietly and washed, trying not to make loud noises so as not to disturb her.

Today was the last Chunin Exam. As one of the examiners, he naturally had to arrive early to arrange some complicated matters, even though the main person in charge of this exam was the unreliable guy Jiraiya.

The exam venue was chosen to be the newly built arena in Konoha. Not only would the Hokage himself be there, but the Fire Country Daimyo and other dignitaries would also come to watch the game. The intention behind this was not only to support the development and construction of Konoha Village, but also to include the desire of those people to watch the fun.

You have to know that there are very few entertainment activities in the world of Naruto. On weekdays, those nobles just hunt, drink, and watch dance. It’s okay for one or two years, but they would be tired of playing like this for decades, and they definitely don’t want to miss such exciting entertainment activities as fighting between ninjas.

Of course, there are quite a lot of Genin who passed the second exam, nearly 200 people, but there are only ten duels today, otherwise there will not be enough time. Therefore, most of the ninja fights will be held in private, not in public.

The twenty most outstanding Genin had been selected long before the exam, with four major countries occupying eighteen of the places, six from Konoha, four each from the Sand Village, the Iwagakure Village, and the Kumogakure Village, one from the Longgakure Village, and one from the Raingakure Village. It was very reasonable and legal.

This exam was held by Konoha alone, so it was understandable that they took up two more places. Other countries had nothing to say, after all, Konoha paid for the money and the venue, and Konoha Village was the strongest in the ninja world, so it was reasonable for them to have two more places. As for the Hidden Rain Village having one place, it was also easy to understand. The ninja leader of the Rain Country was named Hanzo, and he also had a title called Demigod. His fists were strong enough, and the village was outstanding among many small ninja villages. It even once clamored to become the sixth major country, but it just didn't succeed. Speaking of Hanzo's title of Demigod, Yeshan was very confused, because according to the literature records, the strength of the ninja god Senju Hashirama, Hanzo was at most one-fifth of a god, and I don't know where the title of Demigod came from. Anyway, Yeshan was the first to express his dissatisfaction. Isn't this just a case of a monkey claiming to be the king when there is no tiger in the mountain?

The fact that Longyin Village was able to occupy a quota did not cause any dissatisfaction. Although it is now in decline, after all, their ancestors were once wealthy, and there is also a seven-tailed beast in the village, which is enough for self-protection.

The duel will be conducted by drawing lots to ensure fairness. The winner will definitely be promoted to Chunin, and the loser will be assessed on whether to advance based on his or her performance. Jiraiya will also act as the referee during the exam to ensure that no deaths occur. After all, those who are sent by the ninja village to participate in the competition are the treasures of each village, and they would never bear to be beaten to death on the spot in public.

Ye Shan's task today was very simple, which was to arrive early to set up the competition venue. Once the exam began, he would have nothing to do and could sit leisurely on the podium and watch the noobs fight each other.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the originally quiet arena was filled with noise. Nearly ten thousand Konoha villagers came to watch the game. The Hokage and other high-ranking officials were also present, chatting and laughing while waiting for the exam to begin.

The names of twenty ninjas kept flashing on the huge electronic screen, and finally only two names appeared on the screen, which could be clearly seen throughout the arena.

"Uchiha Huoyu vs Yeyue Kai"

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows and smiled at Uchiha Fugaku who was sitting next to him: "I didn't expect that there would be a ninja from the Uchiha clan in the first game. I remember that the third Raikage's last name was Yeyue, right? Could this Yeyue Kai be a member of his clan?"

Uchiha Fugaku's face darkened: "The Yeyue clan is extremely good at ninjutsu. Their taijutsu, speed, and explosive power are among the best in the ninja world. Huoyu has met a strong enemy."

Yeshan had witnessed Uchiha Huoyu's battle with his own eyes and had a general understanding of his fighting style. He also knew which type of ninja the Uchiha clan was most afraid of, so he agreed with Uchiha Fugaku's words.

For the Uchiha clan, especially those who have not yet opened the three-magatama Sharingan, the most troublesome opponents are those with extremely high explosive power and extremely fast speed. The Sharingan can certainly see through every move of the opponent and even predict the enemy's next move, but seeing and avoiding are two different things. It is not a pleasant feeling to watch the enemy's attack fall on you without being able to react. Moreover, the Uchiha clan's shuriken throwing and fire escape techniques have no advantage against fast ninjas. If you cannot break through your own limits in battle, defeat is a matter of time.

The electronic screen lottery seems fair and just, but who knows if there is human manipulation behind it. Those who understand will understand.

All the idle people in the arena returned to the lounge to wait, leaving only the referee Jiraiya and Uchiha Huoyu and Yozuki Tobi who were about to fight, making the arena seem empty.

Everyone stopped talking and stared at the three people on the field with bated breath, not wanting to blink for fear of missing out on the exciting scene.

Jiraiya stood between the two men who were facing each other. His usually cheerful face was now full of solemnity. Seeing that they were all ready, he said in a deep voice, "The exam begins!"

Uchiha Huoyu immediately exerted force on his feet and leaped backwards to create some distance. He closed his eyes, and his pupils turned scarlet in the blink of an eye, staring cautiously at the Hidden Cloud boy opposite him.

The arena was empty and there was no extra debris to hide, which forced Uchiha Huoyu to be cautious, fearing that the opponent would rush straight up.

Seeing that the other party was still standing there with his arms folded and a look of disdain, Uchiha Huoyu felt angry, thinking that the roles of both parties were reversed, and it should be him who was disdainful. However, even though he was angry, Uchiha Huoyu was not a fool, so he would not rush forward foolishly. He would make full use of the advantage of the Sharingan to test it out first.

Uchiha Huoyu threw several shurikens out with a flick of his wrist, and they flew towards Yeyuefei unhindered with the sound of wind, making the other party look even more contemptuous.

The Yeyue clan advocates close combat with fists and fists, and never bothers to throw hidden weapons such as shurikens because they think such behavior is not manly enough.

Yeyue Fei quickly leaned forward to dodge several shurikens, and quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, and the mainstream escape technique representing the Hidden Cloud Village was performed.

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

A bolt of lightning shot out from Ye Yuefei's hand and hit the ground, then used the soil as a conductor to rush towards Uchiha Huoyu at an extremely fast speed. After the spell was finished, he let out a grim grin, clenched his fists, and pounced forward like a whirlwind, his speed only slightly slower than that of the lightning.

A gleam of light flashed in Uchiha Huoyu's eyes, and he nailed a kunai in the direction of the lightning, blocking the conduction of the lightning with iron. Then he shouted in a deep voice, waved the kunai with both hands and met the oncoming Yeyuefei.

The two men collided in full view of everyone, and their hands, feet, legs, joints and other parts of their bodies became attacking weapons, using physical skills to start today's opening battle.

At the moment of collision, Uchiha Huoyu's face changed, and he felt that his right hand, which had stabbed forward, was numb as if it had touched a hard stone. He couldn't help but stare at his opponent with wide eyes. At this time, Yeyue Tobi's originally dark skin became even darker, as dark as coal, and flashed from time to time. These scenes that outsiders could see with their naked eyes were invisible to Uchiha Huoyu's eyes. As his Sharingan rotated slightly, he only saw a thin layer of chakra condensed on the opponent's body surface, and it was this layer of chakra that caused his attack to be blocked.

This is hardening???

Uchiha Huoyu's heart sank, but he swung the kunai in his hand more vigorously, and intentionally or unintentionally, all of them landed on one point, trying to break the opponent's turtle shell.

"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"

The sound of iron colliding with hard objects stimulated the nerves of the spectators, increasing their secretion of adrenaline, and they were all fascinated by the sight.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. When Ye Shan was still a Chunin, the most satisfactory ninjutsu was the Earth Release Hardening Technique. He clearly knew the advantages and disadvantages of this technique. The advantage of the Hardening Technique is that it can make the skin of the caster strong for defense. It is no exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that if you practice to the top, you can split mountains and rocks with your bare hands. It is an excellent way to save your life on a chaotic battlefield. The disadvantages are also obvious. The Hardening Technique protects the skin. The eyes and anus of the caster are weak points, and it cannot defend against heavy blows. Once hit by gravity, it is easy to cause the caster to die from the vibration of internal organs.

After all, Uchiha Huoyu is young and does not have much combat experience. Although his attack landed on the right spot with the help of the Sharingan, if he cannot break the opponent's hardening technique in one fell swoop, defeat is inevitable after a long time.

Sure enough, under Ye Shan's gaze, the man called Ye Yuekai seized the opportunity when Uchiha Huoyu was changing his strength and kicked him in the chest. Uchiha Huoyu had no time to dodge and was kicked away helplessly, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Uchiha Huoyu slowly stood up, staring at the Cloud Ninja opposite him, thought for a moment, threw away the kunai in his hand, and took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag.

"I didn't intend to use this trick in the Chunin Exam, but now it seems that I have no choice. After all, you are not one of those weaklings."

Uchiha Huoyu's voice was cold, and there was a strong murderous look on his face, and he was obviously very angry.

"Oh!"

A cloud of smoke exploded from the scroll, and a ninja sword with a black blade appeared in Uchiha Huoyu's hand. No one knew what kind of mineral it was made of, but it looked completely different from ordinary ninja swords.

Uchiha Huoyu carefully stroked the blade, as if he was caressing a precious person. Then his eyes focused, and he gripped the handle without hesitation, making several beautiful knife flowers in the air.

"Uchiha Style: Triple Slash!"

Instantly, three Uchiha Huoyu figures appeared on the field, slashing at Yeyue Kai from three different angles. Of course, it was not caused by the Shadow Clone Technique or the Clone Technique, but his speed was too fast, resulting in afterimages, but the number of attacks was a real three-hit combo.

Ye Yuefei sneered. The opponent was full of confidence in the ninja sword in his hand, thinking that he could break his hardening technique with one strike. He was also a conceited person. He immediately pushed the chakra in his body to the extreme without fear. His dark skin was faintly flashing with metallic light as he went forward.

"Ding, ding, poof."

Two completely different voices came out almost at the same time. Ye Yuefei looked at the thin knife wound on his chest with a cold face, and was horrified in his heart.

You have to know that he has spent most of his time practicing hardening techniques in order to strengthen his body. He usually relies on physical skills and hardening techniques to defeat ninjas of the same level. Even the jonin in the village admit that his hardening techniques are well practiced and ordinary ninja tools can hardly hurt him. Unexpectedly, the opponent used a ninja sword to cut through his hardening techniques, leaving him with a wound.

In fact, Yeyue Fei overestimated the sharpness of the ninja sword in Uchiha Huoyu's hand. When fighting the enemy, the ninja will subconsciously concentrate the chakra on his hands, which will lead to a decrease in the body's defense. Otherwise, even if the ninja sword is sharp, it will not be able to easily break his hardening technique. This is why his fists were not injured.

All of this could not be hidden from the scarlet eyes of Uchiha Huoyu, who was in a dilemma. Continuing to launch such attacks would undoubtedly cause certain damage to the enemy, but this damage would not affect the outcome of the duel. If his chakra was exhausted after a long time, he would definitely lose.

Moreover, the opponent's surname is Yeyue, and Uchiha Huoyu doesn't think that the opponent only knows a kind of hardening technique. The kind of hard-to-defend-against-the-Ninja Body Technique is still to come. He must maintain sufficient chakra to have a hope of winning.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Huoyu tightened his right hand holding the ninja sword, and his left hand brushed across the blade, and instantly a ball of flame appeared on the dark blade.

"Uchiha Style: Fire Blade!"
