Chapter 21 Reincarnation of the Dirty Land

After Naruto's match, the next match was supposed to be Sasuke vs. Gaara, but since Sasuke hadn't arrived yet, the other matches started first. Unexpectedly, Kankuro gave up in the match between Kankuro and Shino, leaving only Shikamaru and Temari.

"Why, after finally getting to this point, the puppeteer from the Sand Village just gave up?" Sakura didn't understand why Kankuro just gave up after finally getting to this point.

"Shikamaru may not necessarily give up after seeing such words." At this time, a fat ninja said while eating potato chips. It turned out to be Ino's team member Akimichi Choji.

"Chouji, are you cured?" Ino had visited him in the hospital before. Choji had an upset stomach from something he ate and had been in the hospital for several days.

"It's okay now." Shikamaru chewed potato chips in big mouthfuls, finishing one bag and opening another.

"Why do you say that, Shikamaru? He has also undergone special training, so he may not be unable to beat Temari." Sakura asked curiously.

"You guys really don't understand Shikamaru at all. That guy never has any motivation."

After hearing what Choji said, Sakura and Ino looked at Shikamaru in the field and found that he was saying something unknown.

"I'm afraid that guy is now saying things like 'It's just a lot of trouble'."

Ye Lan has good hearing and Shikamaru has been complaining just as Choji said. On the contrary, Temari is very motivated. She started attacking as soon as the referee announced the start. She used her three-star fan to continuously release wind jutsu to attack Shikamaru. At the same time, she also paid attention to Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique. She had already learned this technique during the preliminaries. As long as she was not caught by Shikamaru's shadow, she would win.

However, Shikamaru's IQ amazed everyone present. He cleverly forced Temari to the hole left by Naruto in the previous game, and caught Temari through the hole with shadow imitation technique. Just when everyone thought Shikamaru was going to win, he raised his hand and announced his resignation, saying that he had no chakra left and had tried many ways to defeat his opponent but failed, so he had to give up.

"This kid has a good chance of becoming a Chunin." Ye Lan said after watching the game.

"Eh? Didn't Shikamaru lose?" Ino still complained when she saw Shikamaru give up.

"Didn't Lord Hokage say that winning or losing would not affect the jury's judgment of the contestants? Shikamaru now has a judgment that other Genin do not have. His combat IQ also adds a lot of points to him. This is stronger than Naruto and Neji before. Although his hard power is lacking, it is enough to become a Chunin." Ye Lan analyzed.

"No way a guy like Shikamaru could become a Chunin?" Ino still couldn't believe it.

"Everyone is here!" At this time, Kai brought Xiao Li, who was on crutches, to the crowd.

"Teacher Kai! Xiao Li! You are here too. The first round of the competition is about to end." Sakura said in surprise when she saw the two of them.

"Is Sasuke on the court? We came here just to watch his match!" Kai showed his shining front teeth. After all, Sasuke was the student of his lifelong rival Kakashi.

"No, I don't know why Sasuke hasn't arrived yet, but Naruto defeated Neci. I never thought Naruto would win!" Sakura told them about Naruto's victory.

Did Naruto beat Neci? I didn't expect Naruto to grow to this point. Lee was shocked. As Neci's teammate, he deeply understood how strong Neci was. He couldn't imagine how Naruto could beat Neci.

Just when there was a commotion in the venue because Sasuke had not arrived yet, a whirlwind passed through the venue, and Sasuke and Kakashi, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived at the venue.

"Sasuke-kun!" Ino saw Sasuke stand up from his seat and shouted loudly.

"Just as Brother Ye Lan said, Teacher Kakashi will arrive at the most critical moment." Sakura was relieved. Although Ye Lan had explained it, she was still worried about whether Sasuke could arrive in time.

"It seems that Kakashi came in a hurry. Sasuke's hair has grown a lot longer after not seeing him for a month." Ye Lan couldn't help but frowned as he looked at Sasuke's slightly long hair. This hairstyle lowered Sasuke's appearance a bit.

"Hey, sorry for being late everyone." Kakashi came to Ye Lan and the others and said with a smile.

"Teacher Kakashi, you always make people wait. You really need to change this habit." Sakura complained a little.

"Sorry, sorry. Actually, there is a reason why we are late. We have rushed here as fast as we can."

"What's the reason?" Sakura thought to herself, this couldn't be another question about whether I'm lost in life.

"You will know if you watch the game. Sasuke will definitely surprise you." Kakashi said mysteriously.

At this time, the last game of the first round began. At the beginning, Sasuke attacked Gaara with fast physical skills. Sasuke's speed made Gaara's sand have no time to defend. What was even more surprising was that his physical skills were exactly the same as the ones that Rock Lee used against Gaara.

"It only takes one month for Sasuke to master physical skills. Kakashi is indeed a genius like you." Kai was also surprised. He knew how much hardship Lee had gone through and how many years he had practiced to reach this speed, while Sasuke only took one month. This gap was really unacceptable.

"No, I admit that Sasuke has some talent, but it is impossible to reach this level just by physical training for a month." Ye Lan has trained Sasuke and knows what his talent is like. "Kakashi, you should give Sasuke the method of using lightning chakra to stimulate the body."

"No wonder Ye Lan easily saw through my training methods. It's true that Sasuke is the same type of ninja as me in some aspects. I taught him to use Lightning Release to stimulate his muscles, which greatly improved his physical skills." Kakashi didn't expect Ye Lan to analyze Sasuke's training methods at a glance.

"So...you taught him that technique as well?" Ye Lan saw that in addition to the Uchiha clan's fire escape technique, Sasuke also had a good talent for lightning escape technique.

"Yes, I taught him that technique." Kakashi and Ye Lan started playing guessing games.

Ino looked left and right, not knowing what they were talking about, and asked curiously, "What kind of jutsu is that?"

"Chidori." Ye Lan pointed it out directly, "I'm right, Kakashi, that's the ninjutsu you became famous for after becoming a jonin. But after you teach it to Sasuke, it will probably take some time for him to master it."

"Kakashi, you actually taught Sasuke the Chidori! How could you do such a dangerous thing!" Kaiko is the person who knows Kakashi best. He knows very well the danger of Chidori. He didn't expect Kakashi's special training to be so dangerous.

"You can't criticize me in this regard, right, Xiao Li?" Kakashi bent down and said to Xiao Li. Kakashi taught Xiao Li the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, so no one should criticize anyone else.

Ye Lan did not express his opinion. The advantages and disadvantages of Chidori were obviously not as good as the Raikiri perfected by Kakashi. Chidori attacked the opponent by sprinting at an extremely high speed and could not change direction in the middle. It was not easy to hit the target against some ninjas with good reactions. Although it was powerful, the way of attack was too rigid.

"Teacher Kakashi! Stop Sasuke's game quickly! Gaara is a dangerous guy who kills without blinking an eye!" At this time, Naruto and Shikamaru, who had passed the first round, rushed over.

"Don't worry, Naruto. With us, the jonin, here, Sasuke will be fine." Kakashi comforted Naruto.

While everyone was talking, Gaara had wrapped himself in a sand ball, thus completely blocking Sasuke's attack. Seeing Gaara lying motionless, Sasuke took the initiative to distance himself from him, and with his fingers forming seals, a ball of shining lightning appeared in his hands.

Chirp-

It was as if a thousand birds were chirping. Sasuke's quick sprint left traces of damage by the Chidori on the ground. Finally, he stabbed the Chidori directly into the sand ball. The sand ball that had made Sasuke helpless was successfully broken by him. Sasuke smiled as he felt the Chidori piercing his flesh.

Before he could be happy for long, a miserable cry came from the sand ball, and then Sasuke felt a huge force grabbing his hand that was using Chidori. Sasuke screamed and hurriedly pulled his hand out.

"Kakashi!" Ye Lan stood up. He had already opened his Sharingan. The perception he had just had could not be wrong about the chakra of the tailed beast.

Kakashi looked serious and knew that Ye Lan's mission was to keep an eye on the Sand Village's Jinchuriki, and he also felt the evil chakra. The tailed beasts were something that most jonin could not deal with, so the only way at this time was to interrupt the exam.

Just when Kakashi was about to step out to stop the exam, an unusually large number of feathers seemed to fall from the sky. All the audience members who saw the feathers fell asleep. Kakashi reacted instantly and it was an illusion. All the Jonin and Anbu present broke free of the illusion. At this time, the Sound Ninja who had transformed into the audience appeared in the auditorium, and the stands of the Hokage and the Kazekage suddenly exploded violently.

When Ye Lan looked again, the Hokage and the Kazekage were already in a square purple barrier.

"Have the Otonin and Sunagakure joined forces? It seems that the other party is well prepared this time." Kakashi picked up the kunai, while Ye Lan and Kai gathered around the unconscious Genin.

"Kakashi, Sasuke seems to be chasing Gaara. Genma blocked that Sunagakure jonin. Sasuke doesn't know the danger of the Jinchuriki, so he can't solve it. Orochimaru hasn't appeared yet. I'm afraid he will target Sasuke by then." Ye Lan said beside Kakashi.

"What are you going to do?" Kakashi looked at the busy Sound Ninjas at the venue. All the Anbu had just gone to support the Hokage, leaving only the three of them.

"Cover me, I will take Sakura and Naruto to break out and find Sasuke and subdue the Sand Village's Jinchuriki. If the Jinchuriki completely explodes in the village, many people will die." Ye Lan expressed his opinion.

Kakashi and Kai nodded, they knew the dangers of the Jinchūriki. Kakashi asked Sakura, who had resolved the illusion, to wake up Naruto and they would deal with some of the Sound Ninja first.

"Orochimaru!" Just when Ye Lan and the others were dealing with the Sound Ninja, they discovered that the person trapped in the barrier with Sarutobi Hiruzen was the fake Kazekage Orochimaru. When the master and the apprentice met, they started with B-level ninjutsu. After being bombarded by several strong ninjutsu of the Hokage, Orochimaru quickly formed a seal and finally shouted: "Summoning, Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

Ye Lan had been observing the fight between Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen. After Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation, two coffins emerged, and the people who walked out of the two coffins were actually the First and Second Hokage. They also greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen, as if they had a trace of their own consciousness.

There is actually a technique that can revive the dead! Ye Lan's eyes lit up. He had never heard of this kind of ninjutsu.
