I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 57 Yagyu: I've Ended Boruto

After Might Guy carried Rock Lee away and Kankuro came to take Gaara away, the large screen, which had escaped death twice due to its high position, began to flash its name again.

The list of contestants for the tenth and final round will be announced soon.

Temari vs. Tenten!

"Huh... Shikamaru, I think I got a bye."

"Yes, congratulations."

"Okay, I'll ask Dad to reward me when we get back."

"I suggest it's better not to."

Nara Shikamaru complained, "Besides our Team 10, Team 8 also passed. There's a high chance we'll run into them in the official third exam. The three of us are no match for them, and we might embarrass ourselves."

"Then we should definitely ask Dad for a reward, and then bribe Yagyu and the others."

"Choji, you bastard..."

Nara Shikamaru was suddenly taken aback by Akimichi Choji's seemingly foolish wisdom.

Meanwhile, the battle between Temari and Tenten had already begun.

Watching Tenten unleash a large number of ninja tools using her storage scroll to launch a ranged attack on Temari, Yagyu suddenly felt a pang of pity.

This compassion is directed at both Tian Tian and Matt Keban.

If it's a 3v3 match and everyone goes all out, then Might Guy's team is definitely the strongest team in this year's Chunin Exams.

Yagyu is not afraid of Gaara because his water-style techniques and genjutsu can counter Gaara.

Lee's speed and Eight Gates technique also countered Yagyu's genjutsu and most ninjutsu.

In team battles, Might Guy is definitely aiming for second place and striving for first.

But unfortunately, this is an individual competition, and Might Guy drew the worst possible draw.

Neji Hyuga was instantly defeated by Yagyu, Rock Lee almost had his arm and leg destroyed by Gaara, and Tenten encountered Temari, who was skilled in Wind Release.

Despite being the strongest team overall, they became the only team among the four to have all its members eliminated.

Such bad luck is like bad luck itself opening the door to even worse luck—it's the worst kind of bad luck ever!

The outcome of the battle was no surprise; Temari defeated Tenten with just three wave of her fan.

Despite the astonishing number of ninja tools and her superb throwing skills, Tenten not only failed to injure Temari, but was almost injured by the ninja tools that were blown back.

This was one of the few games where the score was completely dominated!

With Temari's victory, the knockout stage has officially come to an end.

After ten rounds of competition, plus one bye, a total of eleven candidates have advanced to the third and official examination. They are as follows:

Uchiha Sasuke, Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata, Kankuro, Nara Shikamaru, Yagyu, Yamanaka Ino, Uzumaki Naruto, Gaara, Temari, Akimichi Choji.

Of the eleven candidates, eight were Konoha genin and the other three were Sunagakure genin.

The official third exam was not only an internal war within Konoha, but also a clash between the new generation of Konoha and Sunagakure.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by the examiner for the second exam, Mitarashi Anko, came down with a box in his hands. He had the examinees draw lots to determine their opponents in the main exam and also told them the start time of the main exam.

Because it's the official third exam, Konoha will invite a large number of wealthy people and nobles to watch, and many commoners from the Land of Fire and neighboring countries will also come to watch.

Therefore, this exam requires a long preparation time.

In order to give candidates time to improve themselves, the third official exam will start at 10:30 a.m. one month later.

So, the candidates began to draw lots.

Uchiha Sasuke is still lying in his hospital bed. He was supposed to be the first to draw lots, but he automatically received the last lot.

Shino Aburame walked up to Anko Mitarashi and took a folded piece of paper from the box.

After opening it, it says number 9 on it.

Hinata drew number 5.

When it was Yagyu's turn, he drew number 3.

After all the candidates had finished drawing lots, Mitarashi Anko quickly compiled the match list for the third official exam.

Similar to the elimination rounds, there will be one lucky contestant who receives a bye in the main competition because there is one more candidate.

The match rosters are as follows:

[Number 1] Naruto Uzumaki VS [Number 2] Choji Akimichi.

[No. 3] Yagyu VS [No. 4] Nara Shikamaru.

[No. 5] Hinata Hyuga VS [No. 6] Ino Yamanaka.

[Number 7] Gaara VS [Number 8] Uchiha Sasuke.

[No. 9] Aburame Shino VS [No. 10] Kankuro.

[By the Bye] Temari.

Upon seeing the match list, Yagyu looked astonished.

"Our opponent is actually Yagyu. This is troublesome." Nara Shikamaru scratched his head, looking troubled.

Yagyu was not far from Nara Shikamaru and happened to hear those words. Then, when he looked at Nara Shikamaru, a fleeting look of pity crossed his eyes.

Meeting me isn't so bad; what's truly terrible is losing your future wife!

"Holy crap..."

Suddenly, Yagyu's lips twitched slightly, and he involuntarily uttered two words that only Hinata could hear but did not understand.

Yagyu discovered that he seemed to have achieved something incredible!

He... ended Boruto!

Hinata doesn't like Naruto, Sakura doesn't like Sasuke, Ino has absolutely nothing to do with Sai, and now... Shikamaru Nara has missed his only chance to make Temari look at him with new eyes.

In other words, in the future of this world, there will be no more Boruto Uzumaki, Himawari Uzumaki, Sarada Uchiha, Shikadai Nara, or Inojin Yamanaka?

Similarly, there are no non-flammable materials left!

After announcing the match-up list and start time for the official tournament, Hiruzen Sarutobi announced the disbandment of the team and left the Central Tower together with the Jonin team.

Yagyu and the others also left with their respective Jonin instructors.

At that moment, it was dusk.

After leaving the Forest of Death, Kurenai Yuhi kept her promise and took Class 8 out for a big meal.

"Hinata, Shino, see you in a month."

After dinner, Class 8 parted ways at an intersection.

They wouldn't see each other for a long time afterward.

After all, the official matches are the ones that matter most to the family's honor. Hyuga Hiashi, who is not disappointed in Hinata, and Aburame Shii will definitely be there to watch.

To prevent them from bringing shame to the family, this month of training was truly hellish.

During this month, Yagyu also had many things to do, and even if he had time to meet, he would not go to see Hinata and the other two girls.

The fighting prowess displayed by Xiao Li made Liu Sheng feel pressured, something he rarely did.

When he read comics and watched anime in his previous life, Yagyu was already incredibly impressed.

Witnessing this scene in person now, Yagyu was far more shocked than when he read the manga or watched the anime.

The sheer speed and power of an attack that can strike in an instant, where you can sense it and see it, but your body can't react in time, is terrifying just to think about.

Xiao Li's performance perfectly illustrates what it means to be invincible and unbreakable by speed!

What's even more terrifying is that there are many stronger ninjas in this ninja world who are even faster than Rock Lee.

There's no rush to fix the weakness in defense; Yagyu must first increase his speed to its current maximum.

Or, to put it another way, as long as he increases his speed, it doesn't matter if his defense is a little weak. As long as he doesn't encounter a fatal AOE ultimate move, he can basically survive.
