"Too many candidates advanced in this round of assessments, so the Konoha leadership has unanimously decided to add a preliminary round for you."
"A number of candidates must be eliminated in this preliminary round."
His words immediately sparked discussion among the candidates below.
However, Moonlight Gale interrupted it directly.
"Cough cough!!"
"Next, you can rest for half an hour. The qualifiers will begin soon."
Chapter 69 An army of insects? A 40L can of insect repellent spray, are you scared yet?
"That Naruto brat is always trying to take advantage of my daughter!!"
On the second floor of the hall, Hiashi Hyuga, disguised as an ordinary Jonin, stared intently at Naruto holding Hinata's hand.
He really wanted to go up and say a few words.
But since I sneaked in, I had to keep it to myself to avoid being exposed.
The reason he came here was actually to see just how powerful his daughter's Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist was!
But during the half-hour break before the match, he saw Naruto holding his daughter's hand the whole time, and sometimes even holding both of her hands at the same time.
What made Hiashi Hyuga's heart bleed the most was that his daughter did not resist at all, and was willingly dragged along.
Seeing this, Hiashi Hyuga kept holding his forehead, looking helpless.
They're so young, and they're already holding hands.
If we get older, who knows how far things will progress!
Just as he was thinking this, Gekko Hayate, the referee of the match, stepped forward.
"Cough cough!! Cough cough!!" He looked haggard and coughed violently a few times before saying, "Alright, half an hour has passed, so the preliminary rounds will officially begin."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the large screen on the high platform.
At that moment, the names on the big screen began to flash continuously.
A few seconds later, the two names appeared.
Moonlight Gale shouted as he looked at the name on the screen.
"Round 1 Match: Naruto Uzumaki VS Shino Aburame!"
"I'm the first one... this..."
Naruto was still planning to continue his sweet time with Hinata, but now he shook his head in exasperation.
"Naruto-kun, do your best!!"
Hinata clenched her little fists and encouraged her repeatedly.
"Ah."
Naruto nodded, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pinch Hinata's pink cheek.
As for the feel...
Not bad.
Not far away, Hiashi Hyuga's face twitched violently, and he muttered to himself.
Immediately, his gaze fell upon Shino Aburame, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"The insect-based secret techniques of the Aburame clan are extremely difficult to deal with."
"Naruto, I'd like to see how you deal with this?"
On the playing field.
Naruto and Shino stood facing each other.
Moonlight Gale stood right between the two.
"Ahem!!" He coughed a few times with his right hand covering his mouth, and then said, "The rules of the battle are very simple. Whoever beats the other to the point of surrender or loses consciousness will win."
"Okay, the game begins!"
After he finished speaking, he coughed and hunched over as he left the competition venue.
At this moment, only Naruto and Shino remained.
Neither of them made the first move; instead, they looked at each other.
"Naruto, just admit defeat."
I don't want to hurt you.
Shino pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and began to offer advice.
"I'm sorry, but since I promised Hinata I would do my best, I can't give up now."
Naruto smiled slightly.
"So this is ah."
Shino nodded after learning the reason.
"Then don't blame me."
"Okay, let's go." Naruto shrugged and nodded indifferently.
When he learned that his opponent was Shino, who played with insects, he immediately had a good plan in mind.
Shino didn't say anything when he saw Naruto's fighting stance.
He spread his arms, and hundreds of tiny black insects quickly emerged from under his skin.
Upon receiving Shino's command, the flying insects immediately rushed towards Naruto.
If someone with trypophobia were to see a swarm of flying insects, they would definitely get goosebumps!
At this moment, Naruto calmly looked at the army of insects, a smile on his face as always.
not far away.
Sasuke and Sakura Haruno saw Naruto standing still, without any sign of worry on their faces.
The two of them had personally witnessed Naruto's terrifying fighting power.
That lightning-fast flying kick is still vivid in their minds to this day!
Hinata, unaware of Naruto's true fighting strength, secretly worried for her beloved when she saw Shino's army of insects.
"Naruto-kun, do your best!!!"
Her small hands gripped everything tightly, her expression tense, as if she were facing an army of insects.
On the arena, Shino saw that Naruto was motionless, like a statue, and he nodded with great satisfaction.
"Was Naruto scared by me?"
"Ah, very good."
"That way, I can end this battle, which has no suspense, as soon as possible."
After muttering to himself, he once again commanded his army of insects to rush towards Naruto, seemingly determined to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop!
At this moment, Naruto was very satisfied to see that the army of insects had completely surrounded him.
"It seems the time is almost right."
There was no more hesitation.
He quickly pulled out a storage scroll, pretending to take something from it, but actually he was accessing the system warehouse.
With a "bang," white mist drifted out, but quickly dissipated.
At this moment, a steel cylinder as thick as a water bucket was placed in front of Naruto.
There was also a label on the surface of the cylinder.
[Super-powerful insect repellent mist (40L cylinder capacity)]
There's also a note above the label.
[Note: Aim the spray nozzle directly at the insects to repel them; the effect is immediate and effective against all insects!]
Naruto picked up the insect repellent spray gun, pointed the dark muzzle at the swarm of flying insects, and grinned.
"To deal with insects, you need professional tools."
Immediately afterwards, he quickly turned on the valve of the gas cylinder and immediately squeezed the spray switch on the spray gun with his right hand.
"Pfft!!! Pfft!!!"
The next moment, a large amount of smoke sprayed out from the nozzle of the spray gun.
Colorless and odorless smoke assaulted the army of insects.
As soon as the insect army inhaled the spray or got it on their bodies, they immediately emitted a sharp "hissing" sound.
In the blink of an eye, the insect army began to fall into chaos, wandering around aimlessly like headless flies.
Not far away, when Shino saw this scene, his pupils behind his sunglasses suddenly contracted.
His previously expressionless face instantly changed, and he was utterly shocked!
He stared in disbelief at the panicked army of insects.
As the master of the insect army, Shino could clearly sense that the insect army was uneasy and panicked!
It even felt like a mouse seeing a cat!
Without thinking much, he raised his arms.
"return!!!"
He whispered a command, and the army of insects, which had been like headless flies, seemed to have found their leader and rushed madly toward Shino, then quickly burrowed into his skin.
Naruto grinned as he watched the insect army being instantly neutralized, saying, "I just used insect repellent spray. I also have insect-killing spray here. If you don't surrender, I'll switch to a more lethal spray."
When Shino heard about the insecticide spray, his body trembled violently.
Deworming medications are so strong now.
