Chapter 76 Adapting to Adaptations
There is a hidden benefit in the winner group showdown, that is, after realizing that you are not your opponent, you can surrender directly and continue to challenge other genin candidates who have a high chance of winning.
For example, Nara Shikamaru, who is seriously injured and almost exhausted of chakra, and Chi, who is much inferior in strength; Uchiha Sasuke, who cannot use chakra, is also a good choice.
Daimaru glanced at the faces of these Konoha newcomers with smiling eyes, and expressed his malice unabashedly.
Of course, Uzumaki Naruto can also give it a try.
Daimaru had known for a long time that his chakra properties were abnormal and had weak "sealing-breaking" properties, but he never had the chance to see the effect.
A long time ago, Daimaru seemed to want to try what would happen to the Jinchuuriki.
"Hey, you, a mummy-like guy, do you want to compete with me? If you can't compete, just admit defeat..."
"Shut up, Naruto, be careful of being spotted!"
Haruno Sakura was not around, and Uchiha Sasuke looked at the malicious Daimaru and the many pairs of eyes nearby that targeted Team 7.
"If you provoke me at this time, you will be in trouble!"
With very few exceptions, most of the less powerful genin candidates have been eliminated, and the rest are guys who are difficult to deal with.
"Hmph! Coward!"
Uzumaki Naruto pouted dissatisfiedly, but his stomach suddenly growled.
"hungry!"
"You big idiot, don't do anything conspicuous at this time."
"You can't blame me. I haven't eaten since last night. It's getting dark now..."
The second audition in the Forest of Death officially ended at 2:30 in the afternoon, and the first early selection started at 3 o'clock. It has been more than three hours now.
It’s no wonder that the number of candidates must be limited in the third test. If it’s too late to watch the game on the VIP stand on a hot day, those VIPs won’t want to watch.
After just ten minutes, the competition began again.
This time is not like before, the chance of victory or defeat will be greatly reduced.
After all, they are just genin and don't have many cards. In order to win, most of their methods have been exposed.
After Moonlight Hayate announced the start, Daimaru leaned on crutches and looked at the hesitant Hinata Hinata with interest.
"Um...your injury seems to be very serious. Is it better to admit defeat?"
"Seeing me like this, are you embarrassed to do something?"
Daimaru said noncommittally,
"She is really a kind-hearted and innocent young lady!"
Even the opponent Suna Ninja is not willing to take advantage of others' danger to hurt the opponent.
Hyuga Neji said that she was not suitable to be a ninja, which was not wrong.
"If you have mercy on me, you don't have to."
He pinched off the wooden crutches casually, then untied the bandage, took off the splint, and moved his less sensitive limbs a little. Daimaru once again sacrificed two puppets, one large and one small, and disappeared into the air together with the main body.
Seeing that Daimaru didn't want to admit defeat, Hinata also gave up the idea of persuading him.
"Roll your eyes!"
Under the blood inheritance limit of seeing through chakra, no amount of optical illusions are useless.
As the sky darkens, the indoor lights become brighter.
Hinata Hinata, who opened her Byakugan, instantly saw the chakra fluctuations flowing nearby, the position of Daimaru's body and the two puppets.
but……
Except for the chakra and the blurry human figure, everything in sight was pitch black.
Even with a pair of blank eyes, you can't see anything without chakra flowing.
If it weren't for the feeling of being grounded, Hinata would even feel like she was in a void.
Outside the small fierce battle arena, Hinata Hinata could even see the chakra flowing in the bodies of the ninjas watching the battle, and could vaguely feel that they were looking at her in surprise...
"What's wrong with my eyes?"
"It's simple, I made you invisible!"
Daimaru's playful words came through.
"Invisible? You mean..."
Hinata Hinata had an ominous feeling.
"In the eyes of others, you are now in a state of optical invisibility just like me!"
"Is that why I can't see the light?"
Being able to answer the first test questions independently, Hinata Hinata's IQ is definitely higher than most of her classmates.
Daimaru's carefully prepared polarized killing array can cause visual displacement or even complete invisibility of himself and the objects around him.
When dealing with Rock Lee before, Daimaru had always used it on himself to hide the position of his body, so people deliberately forgot that light would not deflect anything.
Of course, the Polarized Killing Formation can also be used in the direction of the opponent, thereby making it invisible or even completely avoiding the light.
Human vision is because the retina in the eye receives and reflects external light, and transmits the signal to the brain for processing through the nerves. Most living creatures, including humans, can see the outside clearly.
However, Daimaru manipulated the light to bypass Hinata Hinata by changing the density of the nearby air. Like Daimaru himself and the two puppets, he was naturally in an optically invisible state.
There was no surrounding light entering Hinata Hinata's eyes, so naturally she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only rely on the characteristics of the Byakugan to observe the flow of chakra.
"Then why can you see it?"
"In the sand ninjutsu, there is a secret technique called the 'third eye', which can control the sand eye to observe from a distance! Of course, I don't know this technique... I'm just kidding, don't mind. Everything is mine. Chakra, every move you make is basically within my perception."
In fact, as long as Daimaru is not too dangerous, he will not make his body completely invisible, because at that time, he has completely lost his visual ability.
As he spoke, Daimaru slowly appeared not far from where he was just now, in full view of everyone.
"It's much better now. I'm not used to just relying on chakra sensing!"
As Daimaru spoke, he moved his hands and fingers together, and there was a low tremor of the puppet's machine spring. Several Senbon suddenly appeared, fired toward nothing, and then disappeared suddenly.
The sound of piercing the body was accompanied by a painful groan.
"Looks like I hit the target! An attack with chakra fluctuations cannot escape the observation of Byakugan. This simple and pure physical attack is very effective because you can't see it now..."
As he spoke, the shrill wind of the fist swept past, and the light was distorted. It seemed that a vague struggling figure appeared, but in an instant, under the control of Daimaru, it disappeared again.
"useless!"
Hinata Hinata endured the pain and slapped the surroundings with soft fists. It could indeed temporarily interfere with Daimaru's ability to control the air flow and light, but with a slight adjustment, she could blind her vision again.
