Temari, wearing a combat suit and carrying a large fan behind her back, greeted Gin proudly.
Gin was a bit surprised that the chief examiner was a woman, but he knew better than to underestimate her based on her gender.
"Ready," Gin responded confidently.
Without any warning, Temari suddenly moved, taking Gin by surprise.
Moments before, Temari was holding her fan behind her back, but Gin couldn't tell when she had drawn it and was now wielding it skillfully.
"Wind cut!" Temari suddenly moved and a violent storm erupted on the field. The storm compressed into a thin blade of air which tore apart the air in front of Gin.
Reacting quickly, Gin formed seals and used his Lightning Style·Thunder Whip to counter the attack. The Thunder Whip collided with the Wind Blade, causing a violent explosion and dissipating the wind elements.
"Asshole! I'm not prepared!" Gin exclaimed, still recovering from the attack.
Temari chuckled, "I warned you to be ready. In the ninja world, you must always be prepared for unexpected attacks."
Gin nodded, "I understand. I won't let my guard down again."
Temari smiled, "Good. Let's continue."
Temari spoke slowly, and then swiftly closed the distance between herself and Gin.
The first strike was meant to serve as a warning to the candidates, letting them know the kind of battle they were facing.
Temari then launched another attack, called "Flurry of Air Flow", which caused a lot of debris to fly around and obstruct Gin's vision.
Gin was impressed by Temari's skill and realized that this was no longer just an assessment, but a real battle for survival.
In response, Gin used his Lightning Style technique "Lightning Style·Thunder Armor!" to create a thunder and lightning coat around his body for protection.
Suddenly, Gin sensed a strong feeling of danger approaching, but he was able to use his experience from practicing in the world of "Legend of Cloud Shinobi" to react quickly.
As the battle intensified, Gin realized the importance of honing his Haki. He had been training in the world of comics and had already unlocked his Observation Haki and Armament Haki to an intermediate level.
With his Lightning Style generating thunder elements, Gin's perception was greatly enhanced. When he saw Temari's Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel Technique, he immediately recognized its power.
"That is...!!!" he exclaimed, his pupils shrinking as he focused on the turbulent flow of dust ahead.
Temari's big net was made of wind and contained strong Chakra energy. It was a perfect ultimate move, with the attack route hidden in the air and the turbulence of sand and dust making it difficult to detect.
Gin's Lightning Style allowed him to perceive the trajectory of the attack accurately, which would not have been possible without his Observation Haki. Similarly, his Lightning Style training allowed him to respond quickly to the attack, something that would have been impossible with only intermediate level Observation Haki.
In the heat of the battle, Gin realized the importance of training all aspects of his abilities, including Haki, to become a stronger ninja.
Gin realized that the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, and he knew that he had to give his all to survive this battle.
Observing Temari's movements with his Observation Haki and using his Lightning Style to enhance his perception, Gin realized the gravity of the situation. He understood that he was in a real life-and-death battle and that he had to give his all to survive.
Gin felt the weight of the situation bearing down on him. He knew that if he didn't go all out, he would surely fall to his opponent. Without hesitation, he gripped his right arm with his left hand and dropped his right arm, fingers extended like a tiger's claw.
Suddenly, a bright light illuminated Gin's palm, and thunderous energy surged forth uncontrollably. The blue lightning gathered around his right hand, creating a protective armor as he channeled his Lightning Style power.
Taking a deep breath, Gin focused his Observation Haki to track his opponent's movements. He knew that with his intermediate level of Haki, he had a chance to perceive her attacks and react accordingly.
Feeling confident in his abilities, Gin uttered a battle cry and unleashed his ultimate technique: "Raikiri!!"
The lightning energy crackled and surged, coursing through Gin's body and empowering his attack. With a swift motion, he aimed his charged right hand towards his opponent, ready to strike with all his might.
