The other party remained frighteningly calm, not only him, but also the girl named Uchiha Izumi.

Are you still delusional that your teammates can turn the tide?

【impossible! 】

Because that's Temari's strongest ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Slash Dance!"

With a low growl from the Sand Village princess, the fully extended three-star fan lashed out at her opponent in sight.

In an instant, the wind howled, and the space trembled.

A one-eyed weasel dragging a scythe silently materialized and pounced on the enemy, riding the whirlwind.

Chapter 523 It seems that Konoha, with its Uchiha and Kurama, will once again dominate a period of time.

As the fourth earthen wall rose from the ground, the examiner, Genma Shiranui, who was always on edge, instantly appeared on the rock wall that was closest to the entire battle circle.

All the questions were answered at this moment.

Those seemingly useless wind-style attacks were actually designed to force Yakumo Kurama to build himself an inescapable earth-style prison!

Moreover, it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that this seemingly frail young girl must have certain weaknesses in terms of physique and martial arts skills.

In addition to this deadly situation with no way to escape, once hit by the opponent's attack, it is almost certain that they will die.

After all, the Wind Release ninjutsu unleashed by this Sand Village princess was comparable in strength to some Jonin!

Furthermore, Wind Release is one of the most offensive chakra natures.

Feeling the tearing sensation that could still be experienced even outside the eye of the storm, Genma Shiranui's expression grew increasingly solemn, and his body tensed up.

He kept a close eye on the genin from the Kurama clan, waiting for her to be the first to say "I lost." This would allow him to openly interfere in the competition, because, no matter what, the chief examiner, Genma Shiranui, always showed some bias towards his own village's comrades.

However, if Yakumo Kurama hesitates to admit defeat because of his pride, then he cannot directly enter the center of the battle and thus interfere with the course of the confrontation.

Otherwise, the audience would criticize Konoha for being too protective.

Therefore, recognize your shortcomings in real combat experience and your lack of strength, and choose to admit defeat!

Your true battlefield isn't fighting alone, but cooperating with your teammates to achieve perfect control of the situation!

Genma Shiranui kept urging and growling in his heart.

How could they possibly watch one of their geniuses, a talent that only appears once every few decades, perish here?

And it wasn't just him, the chief examiner, who felt the same way; the audience members in the stands did too.

In the brief exchange, everyone had already acknowledged the strength of these two contestants.

However, it is clear that the young ninjas who come from Sunagakure have a greater ability to control, analyze, and utilize the battlefield.

After all, the terrible environment of the entire Wind Kingdom made their path to growth even more arduous.

"Admit defeat."

"Just admit defeat."

Suddenly, such murmurs rang out from the audience.

Not to mention Kurama Yakumo, who was in the 'prison,' even the spectators outside the arena could feel an immense sense of oppression.

The girl who leaped high and unleashed this surging attack was like a messenger of the wind!

There is no way to retreat.

No way to escape!

Even a ninja skilled in taijutsu would not be able to cope with such a predicament, let alone a girl named Kurama Yakumo who is a genjutsu master.

Some viewers who had just begun to feel a sense of sympathy for this seemingly fragile girl suddenly found themselves on the edge of their seats.

What will you do next?

【what will you do!】

Do you really believe your teammate can pull off an incredible comeback in this situation?

This is absolutely impossible!!

Kankuro, still carrying the strange bandages, was carefully observing Uchiha Ara beside him, trying to find some panic, some worry, or even the urge to rush in and rescue him on the latter's face.

But none of them were found.

This result left him feeling inexplicably disappointed.

That night, he did not witness firsthand the other's strength, which far surpassed that of his peers. He could only glean the true power from Temari's few words and Gaara's silent attitude after his return.

Ultimately, Yu Zhi was still somewhat resentful.

Whether it's an order given to her older sister from above, or an attempt to ingratiate herself with the other party.

Most importantly, the three of them represent the highest fighting strength of the younger generation of Sunagakure and symbolize the face of Sunagakure. It is somewhat shameful for them to admit defeat without any temper.

Even though he had witnessed the opponent's power in front of the 44th Trial Grounds of Konoha, he had never personally fought against them, and those Jonin of Konoha may have been negligent or held back for a moment.

However, just as Kankuro was staring at the man's profile, lost in his own thoughts, the man seemed to sense something and turned his gaze away.

Their eyes met for a moment, and he felt the coldness and indifference in them all with remarkable clarity.

It was as if he had been completely stripped naked, with no secrets left under that single exposed pupil!

At the same time, an inexplicable pressure was exerted on him, and this terrifying feeling made his spine go cold. He lowered his eyes and tried to escape.

This intuitive feeling is almost like staring directly into Gaara's eyes!

No, it's even more terrifying!

However, just a second ago, he was still venting his resentment.

Humility, frustration, fear, and shame intertwined and converged in his heart.

Fortunately, the eye contact lasted only a moment, and then the owner of that gaze turned and walked towards the stairwell.

Presumably, they are preparing for the next person's appearance.

And that intense pressure began to weaken as that person gradually moved further away.

That guy,

His eyes held a complex mix of emotions.

Just a glance was enough to make him instantly want to run away; such a feeling was too humiliating!

However, Temari ultimately won this battle.

[And it's precisely because you sensed this that you proactively prepared for the next round, right?]

Kankuro was certain in his heart,

This is the only thing that allows him to regain some semblance of dignity.

However, just as he was watching the person's back gradually disappear into the distance, a gasp from the stands suddenly brought him back to his senses.

"No way, really!"

"This, how is this possible!!"

"........"

Such exclamations caused Kankuro's heart to clench, and he abruptly turned his gaze back to the arena.

At first glance, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

A towering hurricane materialized from the prison and clashed with the incoming wind-style ninjutsu.

That guy can even materialize 'wind'!!

The confrontation reached a stalemate, but judging from the situation, Temari's strength seemed to have the upper hand.

After all, that was genuine ninjutsu!

Furthermore, it is empowered by the ninja tool Three-Star Fan and the summoning beast Kamaitachi, making it far superior to any fake version that has been drawn.

However, what still concerns us is...

The girl named Yakumo Kurama remained calm and composed, continuing to paint something on the canvas.

The wait didn't last long. Accompanied by two piercing shrieks, a pair of one-eyed weasels, extremely similar to the summoning beasts Temari had summoned, suddenly rushed out on the wind, wielding scythes and slashing towards the main body!

This scene left Kankuro stunned.

He could never have imagined that the so-called special bloodline limit that could control the five senses could be used in this way!

It's already astonishing enough that they've created a chakra ninjutsu, but now they've even replicated a summoning beast from another world, and its power seems to be undiminished!

What kind of terrifying bloodline limit is this?

Is it because the bloodline limit is too strong, or because its owner, Yakumo Kurama, is too exceptionally talented?

Therefore, Uchiha Ara's departure did indeed foresee the impending end of the battle, but contrary to his own certainty, it was due to the victory of his own comrades.

A sudden thought caused Kankuro's mental state to collapse.

He desperately wanted to believe that his sister would win the battle, but when that most promising attack turned into a stalemate, the scales of victory seemed to begin to tip again.

Because the girl from the Kurama clan is still drawing something on the canvas, this almost completely replicated ninjutsu is not the end at all!!

There was not a sound, not a sound.

The barrier made of rock and soil, as if it had appeared out of thin air, suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

Not only Temari, standing on the high platform, was caught off guard and lost control of her body, but even Genma Shiranui, an elite Jonin, suffered the same fate.

Because such an operation is simply too bizarre.

One second you can feel the solid, high wall, and the next second it's silently wiped away.

The disorientation of her body stirred a sense of panic within Temari.

However, before she could fully stabilize herself before landing, a wall of rock and earth resembling a prison suddenly rose up from the ground on all four sides where she had fallen. Moreover, the clear blue sky was suddenly obscured by a dark cloud that had somehow condensed.

"Boom."

Along with the light that flickered within the clouds, the roar of thunder was exceptionally clear.
