Naruto Flower Stem

Chapter 22

I looked at the third Hokage and fourth Kazekage sitting on the top, that is Gaara's father.

Looking at Gaara again, he is a little unnatural.I lowered my head, feeling lost for a while.After yesterday, I don't know how to face him anymore.

I close my eyes.Countless images flashed through my mind.

Naruto and the others were all questioning and worried about why Sasuke didn't come.But I already know now that Sasuke will definitely come.He will definitely come, he will not give up the battle with Gaara.

The rules for the third test are the same as for the qualifiers.

"Then the first round, Huajing, Chibalan. The above two players stay, and the others go to the waiting room.

After the referee finished announcing, the others left the arena and came to the high rest platform.From above, you can just see the game clearly.

"It's finally this day." Lan stood opposite me, looking at her, she seemed to be excited about the upcoming game.

Does she really look forward to fighting me that much?

But it’s okay, before Konoha was destroyed, we had no hesitation to end the grievances of these years.

In fact, it is a bit too exaggerated to say that it is a grievance.

It's just because Gaara is completely disgusted by her.

I put my hand on the chain and channel the chakra into it.The chains that absorbed the chakra broke away from my body, flew into the air, and surrounded my body, forming a double defensive barrier of chakra and iron chains.

This is the preparation work before the close combat.In fact, my weapon was originally only used for defense, as it is now, it was its original usage, but it was later transformed into an omnipotent property that combines both attack and defense.

"Hmph, are you serious?" Lan saw that I was on the defensive, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's useless, I will let everyone see how embarrassed you were when I defeated you."

"Lan, do you really hate me that much?" I looked at her and asked word by word.

"Yes, I hate you."

I take a deep breath.

Ran pulled out two kunai from the ninja bag, and put on a fighting pose. "I hate you for choosing that monster without hesitation and abandoning all of us." After saying that, a body appeared in front of me in an instant.Kunai's attack collided with the resistance of the chain, making a crisp and piercing sound. I quickly stepped back a few steps, trying to avoid her quick attack.But she seemed to be possessed, approaching me crazily. "I hate you, and I hate that monster even more!"

"Pa..." While she was focusing on attacking, I manipulated a branch of the chain and knocked out the Kunai in her right hand.

Kunai flew out in a straight line and stuck on the wall.

We separated at this point, and stood back to the original position, facing each other.

"It's useless for you to attack like this."

"Well, I know..." Lan whispered, putting the other kunai back into the ninja bag. "Your weapon is more advantageous in melee combat. I miscalculated." She freed her hands. During this period, the smile on her face kept the same arc, which seemed very strange to me.

She seemed to have thought of a strategy long ago, with a well-thought-out plan.

"Then use ninjutsu to decide the outcome! Fire escape. Phoenix fairy fire art!"

I can hardly see her seal.

Indeed, in terms of ninjutsu, although I have Chakra with all attributes, which has never existed before, and the intensity of ninjutsu cast is also better than hers, but there is only one thing, and that is the speed of seal formation.

Almost every time I can't see the moment when she seals.She seems to be a genius at using ninjutsu and doesn't need seals.But in fact, if you have Sharingan, you can see it clearly.

Scattered fireballs spurted from her mouth.

I jumped up to dodge it, but not completely, so I had to use the water escape to cover the remaining fireballs.

"Fire escape. Flame bomb."

Is it fire again...

However, it is too weak.I waved the chain and easily scattered the fireballs flying towards me.

Lan frowned and didn't speak, but continued to use the ninjutsu "Fire escape. Dragon fire art!"

"Useless Lan, don't you understand!" Taking advantage of the gap before the flame came to me, I quickly formed a seal, and once again dissolved her technique with the water escape.

"An attack like yours that has no consideration at all is impossible to win! Your Chakra can no longer withstand the load of continuous use of ninjutsu... Lan, stop."

"Shut up! How could I lose to you! At least this time, I will definitely not lose to you!" She yelled at me hysterically, completely forgetting the purpose of the battle and winning or losing.

She has been completely immersed in the belief that she wants to win me in public, and she can't extricate herself.

Such a fight is meaningless.

Lan, when will you understand.

As long as you want, we can still be friends, but you have been hostile to me.

It was you who abandoned me, not I who abandoned you.

"Fire escape. Fire dragon flame bomb!"

"Shui Dun. Shui Qingbo." Not far away, Lan Bai's fair face was flushed red by the raging flames. "It's over." I muttered softly.

Strong currents roared and rolled forward from behind me.In just an instant, a large amount of water vapor rose, and the collision of fire and water made a crackling sound.That's the flame scorching the water, evaporating into water vapor.

The water quickly extinguished the overwhelming flames.

Immediately, the water vapor produced by the evaporation of water had nowhere to disperse and filled the entire arena.

From a distance, it looks like it is shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see.

I stood on the field filled with moisture, and stood in front of Lan, whose chakra was almost exhausted, with a calm expression. She propped her forehand on the ground, panting heavily.The chakra is consumed too much.

After all, such continuous use of ninjutsu is very difficult for any ninja.Not to mention the advanced fire escape.Fire Dragon Flame Bomb.As a ninja, it is a great burden on the reserve of Chakra.

"Hoohoo...why...why are you unscathed?"

"Once this battle starts, you are doomed to lose."

"Why! I obviously don't have to be far behind! Why can't I always beat you!"

"Don't you know? You just want to defeat me blindly. Have you considered the battle strategy? Do you think that ninjutsu is everything? The fire escape you use can be resisted by water escape. I'm not sure..."

Lan's fingers picked up the soil on the ground.

"Lan, it's not that I left you, but that you have never accepted me." Seeing her disappointed look, I finished speaking unbearably, turned and walked away.

Her chakra has almost been consumed, and now her spirit has also been hit. As a ninja of Sand Hidden, I don't want to hurt her a little bit.

The referee walked over, checked Lan's condition, and finally judged that she had lost her fighting spirit.

"Round one, winner, Pedicel."

Is this victory? It's not as happy as I imagined...

I walked towards the lounge, looking up at the clouds in the sky.It's still so beautiful, Konoha.
