I rely on myself

Chapter 720 The Fourth Round

On the other side, after the competition, Xin and Chiyomi also returned to the contestants' waiting area and reunited with Lie and the others.

"Thank you for your hard work, you two played a great game."

As soon as they met, Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward and asked gently, and when Chiyomi heard this, she proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head, and replied with a proud look on her face.

"That's right. With my Moon Phase players on the field, this match won't be too bad no matter what."

"boom!"

"pain!"

Looking at Chiyomi's smug look, Xin, who was following behind her, was suddenly speechless. He took a few steps forward and knocked her on the head lightly.

Looking at Chiyomi who was squatting with her head in her hands, Shin said with a headache, "So what are you so proud of? To be honest, although this competition looks exciting, anyone with a discerning eye can see that your strength is almost entirely in the three puppets of the Moon Phase Clan, and you did almost nothing throughout the game. If I hadn't wanted to make the Snow Country famous, do you believe that I would have used the Lightning Chakra Mode to launch a surprise attack when the game just started?"

Faced with Xin's words, Chiyomi was speechless. Just like Xin said, compared to her own strength, she focused more of her energy on the three dolls of the Moon Phase People. Perhaps because of this, with Chiyomi's efforts, the Moon Phase People were able to develop self-awareness.

"Well, although Chiyomi's performance was indeed a little poor, there is nothing we can do about it, right? After all, the puppet manipulation technique she is learning is like this, and now we have already seen the problem, so we just need to practice more when we go back."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Jun on the side hurried forward to smooth things over. After hearing this, Xin and Chiyomi stopped talking. Chiyomi's face showed a look of trying hard. After all, she was not an ungrateful person and could tell whether the other person's words were for her own good or not.

At this time, Xin suddenly spoke again: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the next game. If I remember correctly, the next game is between you and Lie, right?"

This sudden remark drew everyone's attention to Jun and Lie. Jun was slightly stunned for a moment before quickly replying with a smile, "The next match is indeed between the two of us, but to be honest, I'm still hesitating whether to play this match or not. After all, both of our identities are a bit sensitive, especially Lie."

The others agreed with Jun's words and found it difficult to judge. However, Lie, the person involved, did not care and said directly, "Why should we care? It's not our problem anyway. Besides, if something really happens, with Teacher Jie here, are we afraid that we can't get away? Not to mention that Master Lin Yuan is here too."

Lie's words highlighted his fearlessness. At first, others were surprised by his words, but after thinking about it more deeply, they quickly agreed. At this time, a somewhat helpless voice suddenly sounded beside them.

"I'm glad you have such confidence in me, but you've really had enough of me being burdened with more work for no reason."

Lie and the others turned their heads to look, only to see that it was their team leader, Jonin Jie, who was looking at them helplessly, and from his tone it seemed that he had some complaints about what they wanted to do.

"Teacher Jie!" x5
Seeing the real master coming, no matter if they believed them or Lie who proposed it, they all bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. After all, from Jie's words, they could tell that the other party had arrived a long time ago. After listening to what they just said, they had no way to deny it. Naturally, Lie and the others could only admit their mistakes. "You guys are really enough. How dare you become so bold? Don't you know your own limitations?"

If he hadn't arrived early, he would never have thought that Lie and the others seemed so rational at ordinary times, but suddenly came up with such suicidal ideas. Is it true that you can't judge a person by his appearance?
Thinking of this, the helpless look on Jie's face deepened, and Lie and the others looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed. Finally, Lie mustered up the courage to speak to Jie.

"So, teacher, in the next match between Jun and I, will one of us just give up and forfeit?"

“…It’s not that bad.”

"Huh?" x5
"Just like what you discussed before, don't worry too much. If you want to play, play. If you want to give up, give up. Don't worry too much. After all, if it's just this kind of thing, I can still cover you. So don't worry, just do what you want."

Although he scolded Lie and the others, Jie still gave his support in the end. After all, as Lie and the others had said before, their Snow Country was confident enough and not afraid of causing trouble. This simple reason was enough.

Hearing this, Lie and Jun naturally no longer had any reservations and immediately decided to participate in the next game. They both walked towards the venue below.

After watching the two figures disappear from his sight, Xin belatedly asked Jie, "By the way, Teacher Jie, where is Shuise now? In the audience seats? Isn't it a bit bad to leave him alone?"

After hearing this, Jie was speechless for a moment, and then he replied: "How could I leave him alone? I brought Shuise and met up with the people in my country a long time ago, and then came to find you. Otherwise, why would I come so late?"

"People from this country?"

"They are the other guards who came with Lord Lin Yuan. You don't think that Lord Lin Yuan only brought the two guards with him when he came to Konoha this time. That's impossible, right? In addition to the personal guards, there is another team that came to Konoha with Lord Lin Yuan. I'll entrust Mizuiro to them to watch over him. He's safe, don't worry too much."

"That's it, that's good."

After hearing this, Xin was completely relieved and looked towards the fourth round of the game which was about to begin.

As Lie and Jun took their positions, Shiranui Genjian's originally uneasy heart calmed down. After all, he was really worried that one of the two would suddenly admit defeat. Then it went without saying that the atmosphere that had been heated up again would cool down again.

That would undoubtedly have a huge negative impact on the Chunin Exam, and Konoha, as the venue for the Chunin Exam, would naturally be implicated, but fortunately such a thing did not happen.

In order to avoid any accidents, Shiranui Genma did not dare to delay any longer. Seeing that both sides had just taken their positions, he immediately announced: "Both sides are in place, so the fourth round of the game will officially begin."
