Chapter 178: Chunin Exam Reopened (Part 3, Part 4)

dusk.

Aburame Shiki, who spent the afternoon studying the Yuki Onna Gu with Hinata Hinata, returned to the Senju's former residence.

He looked around and saw that the living room was empty.

Tsunade and Shizune were probably still in the Hokage building.

Aburame Shiki opened the refrigerator and took out a glass of lemonade.

After taking a sip, he fell into thought.

The Snow Girl Gu is a level three Gu.

After Hyuga Hinata transformed into a snow girl, her human body was transformed into a body of ice and snow.

The body of ice and snow, not to mention anything else, is comparable to ordinary steel in terms of defense alone.

Hyuga Hinata used Soft Fist in Yukionna's state, and her strength increased by one-third out of thin air.

After all, the fist is harder.

Facing the enemy, he seemed more calm than before.

In addition to the soft fist, it is the ability to control ice and snow.

Aburame Zhihui felt that she could compete with Bai Yu.

And this is just a Gu.

If he gets more Ice Path Gu in the future, Hinata Hinata's strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

The door opened.

Aburame Shiki looked towards the door.

A few seconds later, Tsunade appeared.

She took off her tea-green coat, stepped on the floor with her white and tender feet, and walked slowly towards him.

The calves are tight and smooth, and the thighs are covered by dark blue trousers, revealing the perfect leg curves.

"What are you looking at?"

Tsunade noticed the look in his eyes.

"Welcome home, teacher."

Aburame Shiki said with a serious look.

"Pretending."

Tsunade hummed softly and threw the tea-green jacket in her hand to him.

Aburame Zhihui subconsciously caught it.

There is residual warmth on the coat and a faint fragrance.

"Put it in my room."

Tsunade sat opposite him, glanced at him, and crossed her legs.

Aburame Zhihui was slightly startled.

He vaguely felt that Tsunade was a little different from before.

Is it because of the longevity Gu he gave me?

Aburame Shiki looked away and walked towards Tsunade's room.

"This kid has indeed reached the age of perversion."

Tsunade crossed her arms and said softly.

Aburame Shiki showed it too obviously.

Not just today, but also in the past, he would stay on her lap for a few more seconds.

As a jounin, she could still detect this kind of gaze.

She didn't care before, but now... Tsunade didn't know what she was thinking.

"trade."

These two words popped into Tsunade's mind.

She promised Aburame Zhihui in the morning that she would always protect him.

After adding so much lifespan, it might be almost the same as his lifespan.

Consider it a life-for-life.

She ignored this slight offense.

After finding the reason, Tsunade felt a lot more relaxed, without the entanglement she had before.

"Where's Sister Shizune?"

After putting away her coat, Aburame Shiki reappeared.

"She's out on a mission."

Tsunade said casually.

"Has the list of finals matches been released?"

Aburame Shiki's eyes fell on Tsunade's bare feet swaying in the air.

"No."

Tsunade paused and said, "The method is to draw lots on the spot."

She said as she put her feet away and squeezed her legs together.

Being watched by Aburame Zhihui, she felt a little itchy for no reason.

"Drawing lots is fairer."

Tsunade looked at him and said, "If you want to cheat, I can help you arrange it."

Is this a hint that I'm going through the back door?

When did you also learn to operate in the dark?

Aburame Zhihui was a little surprised and asked: "As the Hokage, is it not a good idea to do this?"

"Hokage's power is unlimited."

Tsunade laughed and said, "I can do whatever I want."

"I do not need."

Aburame Zhihui waved her hand and refused, saying, "Anyway, it doesn't matter who I am as my opponent."

"Too."

Tsunade agreed.

"Teacher, where is my reward?"

Aburame Shiki asked, blinking.

"..."

Tsunade's smile froze, she glared at him and said, "We'll wait until you win."

"Then I look forward to that day."

Aburame Shiki said in response to the question.

Tsunade pouted.

Rewards are most likely to be given, but to what?

For a moment, she was a little confused.

late at night.

Aburame Shiki woke up.

He opened the door and came to the living room.

The moonlight is nice tonight.

Although the lights were not turned on, Aburame Zhihui could clearly see what was going on in the night.

Shizune lay on the sofa quite casually, with a pair of slender white thighs on both sides.

She put the back of her hand on her forehead, her eyes closed tightly, and her face looked exhausted.

"Sister Shizune."

Aburame Zhihui stepped forward, knelt down, and shouted softly.

"Zhihui?"

Shizune turned her head and met his eyes.

The distance between the two people was very close, and she couldn't help but feel shocked.

"You...why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shizune looked to the other side.

"I heard movement, so I woke up."

Shiki Aburame explained.

"Sorry, I woke you up."

Shizune said a little embarrassed.

"nothing."

Aburame Shiki stood up and said, "I'll cook you a bowl of ramen."

Shizune looked at his figure and couldn't help but be fascinated.

She subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ears, feeling a little panicked.

Soon, a bowl of steaming hot ramen was placed in front of her.

"Thanks."

Shizune took the ramen and said, "Go to bed."

"Good night."

Aburame Shiki waved to her and returned to the room.

Shizune didn't look back until the door was closed.

She looked down at the fragrant ramen.

Sure enough, things are different when you grow up.

She used to take care of Aburame Zhihui, but now it's the other way around.

But pretty good.

…

Time flies by.

The day of the Chunin Exams soon came.

In the past month, Team 7 has not gone out and is training in Konoha Village.

Aburame Shiki practices freely.

Uchiha Sasuke and Karin were clearly arranged by Hatake Kakashi.

From morning to night, there is no rest.

In order to advance to the Three Magatama Sharingan, Uchiha Sasuke took the initiative to practice more.

When Xiang Ling couldn't stand it anymore, she ran to Aburame Zhihui.

After some education, she went back to training.

The venue for the Chunin Examination.

The auditorium is full.

Like last time, in addition to the villagers of Konoha, there were also many ninjas.

For example, Hatake Kakashi, Matt Kai, Yuhi Kurenai, etc.

Aburame Shiki arrived last.

Because he and Tsunade went to the Hokage Building.

"Zhihui-kun!"

Yamanaka Ino greeted him from afar.

Hinata raised her head and looked at him.

But suddenly, the pupils of the two people shrank, and strange emotions appeared on their faces uncontrollably.

Xiang Ling ran forward and grabbed Aburame Zhihui's arm.

"How terrible."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said with unclear meaning.

"Meaningless."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

"If Sakura can do this to me, my youth will definitely be more brilliant."

Rock Lee looked at the surrounded Aburame Shiki and remembered the day he was rejected by Haruno Sakura.

Under the sunset is his lost youth.

Hinata Neji frowned slightly.

He is partial to Hinata Hinata.

But right now, competition is huge.

But he couldn't help with this kind of thing.

"Stand still."

Aburame Zhihui took out her arm and glared at Xianglan.

Xiang Ling was not afraid at all, but looked at him with a smile on his face.

But she didn't move any more.

Aburame Zhihui stopped paying attention to her and looked around.

All participants in the finals have arrived.

Sunagakure Village is Murasaki, Chi, and Yami.

The rest all came from the Leaf Village.

Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Hinata, Rock Lee, Hyuga Neji, Yamanaka Ino, Aburame Tori, Kurama Yakumo and Aburame Shino.

There is also Xiang Phosphorus who was forced in by relying on Aburame Zhihui's connections.

Logically speaking, she failed the first and second tests and should not directly participate in the third one.

But Tsunade agreed to her request after considering the situation of Murasaki, Chi and Yami.

The difference from the last Chunin Exam is that this time it was the new Kazekage Gaara who gave the opening speech.

Compared to Tsunade, he spoke at length.

Almost fifteen minutes.

The theme is closely related to love and peace.

"Is he really Gaara?"

Yamanaka Ino asked with a look of disbelief.

The rest of the people were also surprised, including Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Neji.

They felt that Gaara was disguised by someone, that he was a substitute, not his real body.

"Wasn't he like this before?"

Xiang Phosphorus asked curiously.

"People change."

Zi Luo coughed lightly and said, "Gaara-sama now is no longer the same person he was before."

"How come there is such a big change?"

Yamanaka Ino looked at him.

"This is the Kazekage's duty."

Zi Luo said with a serious look.

"Everyone."

Shiranui Genma interrupted their chat, "Needless to say the rules, this competition will be drawn by lots."

He waved his hand not far away.

Konoha's two door gods, Gang Zitie and Shenyue Izumo, brought up a lottery box.

Shiranui Genma stretched out his hand and shook the lottery box for more than ten seconds, then stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of paper.

He faced everyone and slowly pulled away.

The name above is Hinata Hinata.

Shiranui Genma reached into the lottery box again.

Hinata Hinata couldn't help but become nervous.

She clasped her hands together and prayed secretly, it must not be Zhihui-kun!

The second piece of paper unfolded, it was Nighteye from Sunagakure Village.

Hinata Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah! It's over!"

Nighteye said with a sigh.

She is a sentient ninja and is not good at fighting.

In the original work, her eyes are extremely special and she can clearly see scenes dozens of kilometers away.

But facing Hinata Hinata's eyes, it was meaningless.

The battle between the two men ended in less than three minutes.

But Yemu didn't feel depressed.

She came here just to make up the numbers.

The real hope of Sunagakure Village is Murasaki.

"Aburame Shiki."

Shiranui Genma looked at the note and said.

"It's Zhihui-kun."

Yamanaka Inochi was shocked.

"I don't know which lucky guy it is."

Aburame Shino shook her head and said.

"It must be me!"

Locke Li's blood was boiling, and he was eager to try.

He craves strong opponents, especially those who are talented.

Because this is how you live up to your youth.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Rock Lee, but said nothing.

He tightened his grip on the Thunder Fire Sword.

If nothing else, his final opponent will be Aburame Shiki.

After a month of training, his swordsmanship improved to a higher level.

At the same time, he finally opened the three magatama sharingan.

But facing Aburame Zhihui, he still wasn't sure of victory.

"What a brave man!"

Zi Luo praised.

Aburame Shiki defeated Gaara.

It is no exaggeration to say that none of the participants present will be his opponent.

"Are you Rock Lee?"

Zi Luo looked at him and asked.

"I am."

Locke Li looked at him doubtfully.

When did I become so famous?

Even the ninjas from other villages know it.

"My name is Murasaki, a taijutsu ninja."

Zi Luo stretched out her hand and said, "I hope we can fight if there is a chance."

"It turns out there are taijutsu ninjas like me!"

Rock Li's eyes lit up. He held Zi Luo and said excitedly, "Then let's have a vigorous youth showdown!"

At this moment, he forgot about Aburame Shiki and Hinata Neji.

Because physical education is his belief.

"Aburame takes the root."

Shiranui Genma quickly announced Aburame Shiki's opponent.

Everyone's eyes turned to Aburame Takegen.

Basically they don't think highly of him.

In fact, Aburame Takegen doesn't think she can defeat Aburame Shiki.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hands and said, "I admit defeat."

Shiranui Genma nodded slightly.

He could understand Aburame's idea of ​​taking the root, and admitting defeat was in line with the rules.

"The third match, Uchiha Sasuke versus Kurama Yakumo."

Shiranui Genma looked at the note and said loudly, "You two, please come out."

"This time I will use illusion to defeat you."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

The first high-level mission of Team 7 is to help Kurama Yakumo seal Ido.

In that illusion battle, he was completely defeated.

But today is different from the past.

Kurama Yakumo had a solemn expression.

She had seen the previous battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

She has no advantages other than illusions.

"start!"

Shiranui Genma shouted.

Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes, and three magatama appeared on the left and right.

Seeing this, Aburame Shiki finally understood where his confidence came from.

But the limits of Kurama Yakumo's genjutsu are not that simple.

"What are they doing?"

Locke Li asked doubtfully.

It had been fifteen minutes since Shiranui Genma called out, but the two of them stood still, motionless.

"This is the battle of genjutsu ninjas, a confrontation in terms of spiritual power."

Yamanaka Ino explained, "We are not the targets of their illusions, so we cannot see the specific situation."

"Taijutsu ninja is more simple and straightforward."

Rock Lee shuddered.

What he hates the most is genjutsu ninjas.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke moved, white light flashed, and the Thunder Fire Sword was already placed on Kurama Yakumo's neck.

In the illusion competition, Kurama Yakumo is slightly better.

Although Uchiha Sasuke's three magatama sharingan cannot break her genjutsu, it will not fall into it.

Therefore, he seized the opportunity and achieved victory with swordsmanship.

But there was no joy on Uchiha Sasuke's face.

The promised illusion showdown ended up being slapped in the face.

He couldn't stand it.

It's just that he can't lose to Kurama Yakumo because his target is Aburame Shiki.

"The fourth game, Xianglan versus Yamanaka Ino."

After Shiranui Genma announced that Uchiha Sasuke was the winner, he pulled out two more notes.

Aburame Zhihui’s lips twitched.

Looking at the looks from Xiang Lu and Yamanaka Ino, he wondered if there was someone behind this.

Two in one. I feel like I'm in normal condition today, so I won't update at midnight until tomorrow.
