Konoha Tatsuno

Half an hour after Tatsuno arrived at the assessment location, all the ninjas who came to participate in the assessment had basically arrived one after another.

With the appearance of the third generation, it marks the official beginning of the selection and assessment of special jounin.

The rules of the assessment are very simple, that is, one-on-one competition through drawing lots. Those who advance to the third round can be promoted to special jounin.

However, although the assessment is mainly based on the school's combat prowess, it is not absolute. If a certain ninja shows in the exam that he has strengths in a certain aspect that others cannot match, he can also pass the assessment.

Under normal circumstances, in each special Jonin promotion assessment, two or three promotion places will be added to the prescribed assessment places.

Therefore, for blood ninjas and secret ninjas, it is easier to be promoted to special jounin than to civilian ninjas.

There are a total of 10 playing fields in the entire examination room, which can accommodate 20 people at a time.

After the notary drew lots, Tatsuno's first round of battle ninja was a middle-aged ninja in his 30s.

This middle-aged ninja is a civilian ninja. Although he has rich combat experience, his relatively poor chakra amount and ordinary physical fitness limit his strength.

In both physical and ninjutsu competitions, Tatsuno had the absolute upper hand. After a fight, the two were finally defeated by Tatsuno's B-level water escape ninjutsu, Water Fang Bullet.

After Tatsuno advanced to the first round, Metkai, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Mitarashi Anko, Shiranui Genma, and Moonlight Hayate also advanced through competitions. Among the students in the same period, only Iruka made it in the first round. He was defeated, defeated by a young ninja who was good at swordsmanship.

After more than an hour of competition, the first round of competition was over.

In the second round, Tatsuno's opponent was actually Asuma, the best student in his generation.

Looking at the names displayed on the battle list, Long Ye couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling a little surprised.

Is there really no secret operation in this particular Jonin selection draw?

Is the third generation so confident in his son's strength?

Thinking of this, Tatsuno couldn't help but look in the direction of the third generation on the main stand.

At this time, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in the main seat looking down. He seemed to have sensed Tatsuno's gaze, and his eyes moved in Tatsuno's direction.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then looked away.

Walking onto the competition stage, Asuma on the other side looked at Tatsuno with a sullen face and said, "Tyuye, summon your psychic beast, otherwise you have no chance to beat me."

During this period, Asuma was still in his youthful and rebellious stage, and his thoughts were far less mature than when he was Shikamaru's mentor.

Tch~

Hearing this, Tatsuno grinned slightly, turned his right hand, and a kunai appeared in his hand.

Then, he rushed towards Asuma in a blink of an eye.

He would not tolerate rebellious teenagers or anything like that.

No matter who his opponent is, he will win the special jounin spot.

With this identity, it will be much easier to do many things in the future, such as asking the village to exchange merits for forbidden techniques such as multiple shadow clone techniques.

choke!choke!choke!

On the opposite side, looking at Tatsuno rushing towards him, Asuma was unequivocal. He took out two chakra knives from the ninja tool bag on his back and started fighting with Tatsuno.

The two men moved very quickly, like two black shadows flashing back and forth on the ring, and the sound of weapons clashing on the ring was endless.

After the indiscriminate improvement of the disease-sealing seal and the secret technique of physical activation, Tatsuno's physical fitness has reached the limit for this age, and has even surpassed the vast majority of special jounin.

He has excellent physical fitness, and under the constant training of a shadow clone, Tatsuno's physical skills have already improved dramatically.

As the son of the third generation, Asuma has received a good elite education since he was a child. If he had not been suppressed by the super genius Kakashi during the same period, he would definitely be the strongest among his peers, and he is especially good at taijutsu and Knife skills.

"This guy Akimichi Tatsuno is actually able to match Asuma in terms of physical skills. How did he do it? When he was in the ninja school, he was always the last person!"

In the audience, watching the two people fighting fiercely, Mitarashi Anko's face was filled with shock.

Everyone knows Asuma's strength, and he is definitely the best among his peers. In terms of physical skills alone, only Kakashi and Metkai among them are probably able to compare with Asuma.

But now, Long Ye suddenly showed such strength in front of everyone, how could he not surprise them!

On the side, Yuhi Kurenai, Shiranui Genma, Iruka, and Moonlight Hayate all opened their mouths.

Among the few people, only Metkai's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at the two people competing in the ring with passion, and said: "Ryuye's physical skills are already very strong, I really want to compete with them!"

Although Metkai had only a short time in contact with Tatsuno, he, who specializes in physical arts, had long noticed that Tatsuno's physical fitness was far superior to ordinary people.

In his opinion, a person with such good physical fitness would naturally have good physical skills.

It is precisely based on this understanding that Metkai pestered Tatsuno and wanted to have a youthful and passionate game with him.

Hearing this, several people curled their lips and ignored Metkai. They all focused on watching the game on the stage.

On the stage, after a fierce physical battle, the look on Asma's face had already changed from relaxed to solemn.

At the beginning of the fight, Asuma could clearly feel that his sword skills were superior to Tatsuno's.

But after a fight, Asuma discovered that the kunai in Tatsuno's hand had some shadow of his own sword skills, and he could fight with him with ease.

What kind of monster is this guy?

He actually learned his sword skills during the competition and then used them!

How did he do that!

Asuma was shocked by this.

It can't go on like this!

Immediately, Asma decisively chose to change tactics.

Bang!

In the sound of fierce fist fights, Tatsuno and Asuma quickly separated.

With his body flying in the air, Asuma began to form seals with his hands.

After his feet landed on the ground, Asma completed the seal, and a ball of high-temperature soot was spit out from his mouth and dispersed in the direction of Tatsuno.

rumbling~

Immediately afterwards, a series of rumbling explosions sounded, and the smoke and dust completely engulfed Long Ye's entire body.

In order to win the battle as quickly as possible, Asuma used his strongest ninjutsu, Fire Release and Ash Sekiyaki, as soon as he took action.

This is a medium-range fire attack ninjutsu. The user spits out a ball of high-temperature soot in front of him. When the soot falls to the ground, it will cause high-temperature damage to the enemy. It will explode after a period of time. It is extremely aggressive and belongs to the jounin level. Ninjutsu.

However, Asuma was still young at this time, and the amount of chakra in his body was far less abundant than it would be a few years later, so it was still a bit reluctant to perform this ninjutsu.

After the ninjutsu was performed, almost half of the chakara in Asuma's body was taken away, and he stood there panting.

Kacha~

After the explosion, a series of clicking sounds continued to sound in the smoke.

what happened?

Hearing the sound, Asuma held the chakra knife in front of him and looked ahead with a wary expression.

The smoke cleared, and a semicircular stone ball appeared on the ring.

Dense cracks have appeared on the surface of the stone ball, and the clicking sound came from these cracks.

Earth Release Barrier. Earth Release Barrier, a B-level earth release ninjutsu, can be used to trap opponents and also for defense.

The stone ball cracked open, countless gravels scattered on the ground, and Long Ye's figure appeared in the middle of the stone ball.

hateful!

Looking at Tatsuno standing in the middle of the gravel, his breath intact, Asuma's face completely darkened.

Obviously, in this round of competition just now, he was already at a disadvantage.

Seeing Asuma in poor condition, Tatsuno did not hold back. He quickly formed seals with both hands and quickly used the Earth Release and Earth Dragon Spear.

At the foot of Asma's position, countless sharp rocks suddenly appeared and stabbed Asma densely.

Asuma, who realized something was wrong when he formed the Seal in Tatsuno, kept leaping and dodging, avoiding the attack of Tulong Spear.

However, Tatsuno did not give him a chance to breathe.

Wind Escape. Wind Cut Technique

Asma had just escaped the attack of the Turon gun, and countless wind blades in the air were already attacking him again.

"No! When did Tatsuno become so strong? Even Asuma is no match for him!"

In the audience, looking at Asuma who was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of status comparison, Iruka couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's so annoying! They haven't announced the results yet!"

Mitarai Anko, who was next to her, heard Iruka's exclamation and couldn't help but said with an impatient face.

Mitarashi Anko couldn't be happier with this guy who stole the teacher's attention from her!

On the side, the red-haired Yuhi said: "Asuma has no chance!"

Kurenai Yuhi has good perception skills, and she can clearly feel that there is a huge gap between the amount of chakra in Asuma's body and that of Tatsuno.

Asuma, who also realized that he was completely at a disadvantage, no longer just dodged, but began to dodge the wind blade's attack while rushing towards Tatsuno.

He prepared to use the remaining chakra in his body for a last ditch effort.

Chakra Knife. Shinichimonji

The two chakra knives in Asuma's hands emitted blue light and shot out quickly from his hands, attacking in the direction of Tatsuno.

Water escape. Water chaos

Water Escape.Shui Yi Na Yuan

On the opposite side, looking at the two blue chakra knives coming at him, a smile appeared on the corner of Tatsuno's mouth, and he quickly made seals with his hands. He used two water escape ninjutsus in quick succession, and a waterfall-like water flow spurted out from his mouth. Rushing towards Asuma.

However, Tatsuno himself, who had finished performing two water escape ninjutsu, had no time to dodge the Chakara Sword's attack.

Is he going to die with me?

Asuma, who had just escaped the wind blade attack, also had no time to dodge. He was directly hit by the gushing water, and his body was carried by the water and rushed backward.

At the same time, Asuma also felt a restraining force coming from below the water flow, making him unable to move his feet.

Looking at Tatsuno who was unable to dodge in front of him, Asuma's face was full of shock and intolerance.

Asuma was very aware of the power of the ninjutsu he had just performed, and he did not avoid Tatsuno's vital point. If he had really hit it, he would probably be disabled but not dead.

This was not the result Asuma wanted.

In panic, Asuma couldn't help but turn his eyes to his father in the stands, hoping that he could save Tatsuno.

However, the scene Asuma expected did not appear.

Bang!

Two chakra knives hit Tatsuno, a white smoke flashed, and Tatsuno's figure disappeared from the place.

Shadow Clone Technique!

This guy used the Shadow Clone Technique when he was avoiding Hui Jiyaki.

Seeing this scene, Asuma immediately guessed the whole story.

Sure enough, just when Asuma was rushed to the edge of the ring and unable to move his feet, Tatsuno's figure appeared next to the gravel about 1 meter high.

Looking at Tatsuno walking out from the gravel, Asuma couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I lost!"
