Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

As the shadows on the ground faded away, Kagura revealed a sly smile.

The advice he just gave was actually false; it was just to intimidate his opponent.

As a secret technique of the famous Nara clan, how could it be so weak?

The difficulty of this secret technique lies in how to successfully connect to the enemy's shadow.

After all, this ninjutsu is not fast to activate, and it is not difficult to dodge if you are prepared.

But once you're connected, breaking free isn't so easy.

It's worth noting that in the original storyline, Shikamaru, who had just become a Chunin, used this technique to hold off nine enemies all by himself.

In fact, those actions were made subconsciously by Kagura after she secretly used Kotoamatsukami on the pineapple-headed boy.

However, coupled with Kagura's deceptive words, he thought he was being controlled by Kagura instead.

After seeing his two companions inexplicably defeated by Kagura, the fat man from the Akimichi clan finally stopped waiting.

To him, those ninjutsu techniques seemed a bit flashy; only strength was the most direct way to fight.

With a muffled groan, his enormous right hand grew even larger.

At this moment, he had used the limit he could reach, a 20x multiplication technique!

Looking at those arms that seemed like those of a giant, a hint of envy flashed in Kagura's eyes.

If you were to ask him which ninjutsu he most wanted to draw from the system, it wouldn't be the Rasengan or the Flying Thunder God Technique, but rather this Expansion Technique right in front of him!

(By the way, Kagura's second favorite technique is the Harem Technique, after all, it's a divine technique that even Kaguya Otsutsuki fell for.)

Okay, yes. That's really all.

This is the ninjutsu that every man dreams of!

Only fools like the Akimichi clan would only use it to multiply their arms or the whole body. This kind of ninjutsu should be used in a much greater direction!

To Kagura's disappointment, even though the opponent used the Expansion Technique directly in front of him, he was unable to copy it using his Sharingan, as it was a secret technique of the Akimichi clan.

Kagura's face showed only a look of desolation as she watched the fat man rushing towards her with the giant's hand raised high.

Although he didn't understand why his opponent had suddenly become so dejected, the fat man didn't think too much about it.

The giant's hand, like a pillar descending from the sky, seemingly slow but actually incredibly fast, smashed towards Kagura.

The massive impact shattered a quarter of the arena, sending countless fragments of rock flying, some even reaching the distant high-platform audience seats.

The examinees on the platform panicked and frantically dodged the flying stones.

After the stones scattered, a huge cloud of dust began to fill the entire space.

"Boom."

With a soft sound, the enormous arm returned to its normal size.

The fat man looked nervously at the completely destroyed arena, as if trying to see a figure through the fog.

However, before the dust and mist could dissipate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

That figure was none other than Kagura!

Kagura came up to him, suddenly bent down, and kicked him in the chin with her right foot.

With his kick, the seemingly heavy fat man was sent flying into the air.

Kagura's figure flashed again, quickly moving behind the fat man in mid-air.

Bandages had somehow appeared from the cuffs of his long sleeves. With a slight wave of his hands, the bandages tightly bound his opponent, and his hands also embraced his opponent's body.

With a twist of his waist, the two of them suddenly plummeted toward the ground in a high-speed spinning motion.

This is one of the two B-rank skills that Kagura has extracted from the system in recent years—the Lotus Flower.

(In fact, according to the official description, the Lotus Flower is a forbidden technique.)

However, I find it difficult to rank this ninjutsu alongside the A-rank Chidori, so I've classified it as B-rank.

Given Kagura's current strength, there are many simple ways to deal with such an opponent.

Why would he use such flashy but impractical moves?

That's because—he's handsome!

For men, this reason is sufficient.

As the whirlwind plummeted downwards, despair filled the eyes of the remaining two on the stage.

Judging from the force of that impact, that fat man would probably be crippled if not killed.

Just as the whirlwind was about to land, they couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.

However, the expected impact sound did not come. A second later, they opened their eyes in confusion.

At this moment, Kagura stood straddling the arena, while the fat man was wrapped up like a dumpling by the bandages on his hands.

The fat man's head was less than 10 centimeters from the ground, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead and onto the floor.

Kagura chuckled, unwrapped the bandages, and placed the fat man on the ground.

He just wanted to show off; after all, these were his own people from Konoha, so there was no need to go too far.

Feeling like he had just escaped death, the fat man sat on the ground, panting heavily.

The three of them exchanged glances, then said helplessly:

"We concede defeat..."

Chapter 63 The Mysterious Uchiha Shizuka

It's fair to say that Kagura unleashed enough water to fill the ocean during this battle.

The three people involved would naturally notice this.

Since others have already shown you so much respect, it would be rather unreasonable to resist stubbornly.

So even though they still had the ability to continue fighting, they decisively admitted defeat.

With the end of this battle, the fourth assessment has finally come to a close.

Led by the long-haired examiner, the failed candidate left the venue with him.

Tsuchishiro and Uchiha Shizuka came down from the high platform and walked to Kagura's side.

Tsuchishiro smiled and said to Kagura:

"Hmm, it seems I made the right choice."

I really have to thank you for helping me advance this time.

Looking at the smiling Tsuchishiro, Kagura replied dismissively:

"I don't think you can't advance without me. The only reason I rushed down was to protect those people."

after all......"

He stared at the only eye that was visible on Toshiro's face and continued meaningfully:

"After all, your abilities might harm them."

Upon hearing this, Tsuchishiro's eyes narrowed slightly.

In these numerous assessments, in order to conceal his strength, he firmly believed that he had never revealed his abilities to anyone.

But judging from Kagura's words, it seems he knows my background?

Seeing Tsuchishiro's suddenly serious expression, Kagura smiled with satisfaction.

Who are you trying to play the deep thinker with, you half-grown boy?

As a time traveler, how could I not know your background?

Tsuchishiro is the future examiner for the "Absolute Thunder Plough Hot Blade" ability test, which will be used by the fourth Raikage Abby.

Although he doesn't appear much in the story, the two ninjutsu he does use are both defensive.

However, Kagura clearly remembered that this guy possessed the Lava Release bloodline limit.

In the original story, another bloodline limit holder with the Lava Release was Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

The ninjutsu created by his chakra are all related to magma, and are extremely powerful with outstanding attack effects.

Therefore, Kagura has reason to believe that this seemingly honest and calm Tsuchishiro must also possess powerful offensive ninjutsu that should not be underestimated.

His statement that "your abilities could harm them" was no joke.

The two exchanged a glance, then tacitly and with ulterior motives, shifted their gaze.

Uchiha Shizuka, seemingly oblivious to their subtle exchange, nervously clasped her hands together and whispered her thanks:

"Thank you, Kagura-nii. I will do my best in the upcoming matches."

Kagura didn't give much of a response to this clansman who seemed to have his own secrets; she simply nodded politely.

With the elimination of the eliminated contestants, all the advancing contestants gathered on the ring.

Looking at the fifteen candidates who had overcome numerous challenges and remained, the bald examiner finally revealed a gentle smile.

He clapped as he spoke:

First of all, congratulations on overcoming so many difficulties to get this far.

As you might have guessed, the Chunin Exams are not completely over yet; you still have one final test to face.

The good news is that your exams are now over.

As he spoke, he pointed to another door in the opposite direction from where the recently eliminated candidate had left, and said:

"You will come out of here with me later. We will leave here by boat and head to Kirigakure."

Your final exam will be held in Kirigakure in three days.

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the door, with all the candidates following closely behind.

Tsunade and the other two returned to Kagura's side and began to whisper among themselves.

"Hiss, we still have to go into Kirigakure?"
