"The result has been decided, Uchiha Shintaro wins."
Shikaku stepped forward and announced the match's outcome.
Shintaro stepped forward and made a gesture of friendship with Genma.
Genma took the opportunity to thank him, "Thank you very much."
Shintaro gave a faint smile and said nothing.
Even though he won this battle, Genma also showed great strength.
"Uchiha Shintaro might be as strong as a Jonin. Shikaku indeed has a good student." Hiruzen sighed.
Minato smiled and said, "Yes, Shintaro is extraordinary, the best I've seen in my life."
Hiruzen continued, "But Shiranui Genma is also a good kid, and he's a talent worth developing."
"Sandaime-sama, do you also think so? I believe Genma's agility is quite impressive too. His reactions are quick, he's proficient in ninjutsu, and his strength is already at the Chunin level." Minato gave a high evaluation.
Hiruzen nodded slightly and said, "He is a good man."
"Then let them both be promoted."
With just a word from Hiruzen, Shintaro and Genma were promoted.
However, the competition still continued.
The next match was between Obito and Guy.
"Both are Uchiha, Obito and Shintaro seem like very different types." Hiruzen sighed.
Minato scratched his cheek awkwardly and said, "Obito is actually a good kid."
Hiruzen nodded slightly.
On the field, this time Obito walked in confidently.
He felt that his hard training for the past month had been very effective, and he thought he was just careless last time.
This time, he wanted to avenge his past humiliation.
Both stepped onto the field, and Shikaku was ready to announce the start of the game.
This time, Rin cheered for Obito from the second floor.
Obito's attention was immediately diverted from the field, and he looked at Rin foolishly.
So much so that he didn't hear Shikaku's announcement.
"Battle start!"
Obito was still giggling absentmindedly when Guy rushed forward and kicked Obito in the face with [Konoha Senpu].
Obito immediately flew in a circle. "You attacked sneakily!"
He lay on the ground, his head buzzing, and he lost his combat ability.
Shikaku declared Guy the winner.
Guy explained innocently, "The battle had started."
On the second floor, Rin sighed helplessly.
Kakashi mocked again, "As expected of Obito."
Due to this humiliation, it was naturally impossible for Obito to be promoted to Chunin.
Even Minato, looking at his face and said, "This kid sometimes really can't be relied on."
Hiruzen smiled and nodded, indicating he didn't mind.
After that, everyone began to fight in pairs.
In the end, those who advanced were Kurenai, Asuma, Rin, Kakashi, Guy, and Shintaro, a total of six people.
The first match of the second round was between Kakashi and Guy.
Kakashi and Guy first engaged in a fierce physical fight.
Neither of them used ninja tools and fought with their own hands and feet.
It was clear Kakashi was deliberately matching Guy.
Otherwise, every time Kakashi drew his father's relic, the White Fang dagger, Guy wouldn't be able to get close.
To counter Kakashi, Guy opened [Hachimon], but only opened the second gate and then closed it. The effect included exerting 100% of the body's strength and not feeling fatigue.
Even so, he also put a lot of pressure on Kakashi.
The two of them moved around the examination room, as if the entire training ground wasn't enough for them.
This outstanding physical contest fascinated everyone.
And it made the little girl, Kakashi's fan, Nohara Rin, show a look of admiration.
This made the injured Obito, whose eyes were just bandaged, very unhappy, and he lay low on the second-floor railing.
He decided to pass the Chunin exam next year in one go, which would make Rin admire him.
The fight between Kakashi and Guy continued for some time.
At this point, the side effects of [Hachimon] started to appear.
Guy was panting like a bull at this moment. Although he didn't feel tired, the burden on his body hadn't disappeared.
Therefore, his speed had to drop slightly, and Kakashi noticed his shortcoming. He concentrated chakra in his palm, and then took the opportunity to hit Guy's chest.
Guy knelt on the ground weakly.
[Hachimon] had to be lifted, and its side effects caused him to lose his combat effectiveness instantly.
Shintaro's Six Eyes flickered, as if he could see some clues.
When Kakashi went upstairs, Shintaro walked over and asked, "Was that move just now a Lightning Element? Newly developed?"
Kakashi nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not fully developed yet. Originally, I hoped to use lightning element and fast running to pierce the enemy, but now it only has a paralyzing effect."
Shintaro couldn't help but applaud, "Gathering lightning in your palm, you are very creative."
Kakashi looked at him and said, "After I finish developing it, I'll teach you this move, just in time to fulfill our previous agreement."
Shintaro had once taught him [Rasengan], and Kakashi decided to return the favor to Shintaro with another technique that could rival it.
Kakashi believed that if he completed this technique, he would be able to rival [Rasengan].
The developer of [Rasengan] was the Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato, which showed that Kakashi had great confidence in himself and his new technique.
The two didn't chat for long because the next match was about to take place.
Kurenai Yuhi Vs. Nohara Rin.
'I can't lose, Shintaro is watching from above,' Kurenai thought in her heart.
She didn't know that Rin's heart was the same, 'Kakashi is watching me from above, I must win.'
Both girls just developed the desire to win.
Following Shikaku's order, both girls rushed to the opposite sides simultaneously, using kunai to compete with their taijutsu.
Kurenai was a genjutsu-type ninja, and Rin was a medical ninja, so both regarded each other's taijutsu as a weakness.
However, the result surprised both of them. Only then did they realize that their opponent was stronger than they had imagined.
Initially, Kurenai's taijutsu was indeed a weakness, but with Shintaro's help, she managed to make up for it and reach the Chunin passing level.
In fact, Rin's strength wasn't weak initially, and her chakra control was excellent. This was not only useful for medical ninjutsu but also for frontal combat.
Although Rin was usually well-protected by Kakashi and Obito, she wasn't a useless vase.
Of course, the same went for Kurenai.
After the fight, neither of them could determine a winner, then they retreated from each other and threw their kunai.
However, Kurenai noticed something was wrong with the kunai Rin threw and quickly hid behind it.
With a bang, the explosion tag on the kunai exploded.
This wasn't over yet; Rin used wind element, although not very strong, it could spread the high-temperature fire generated by the explosion.
Fortunately, Kurenai mastered the [Shunshin no Jutsu] technique, and she retreated, avoiding the fire attack.
She quickly completed her seal.
[Magen: Jubaku Satsu].
Since Rin didn't expect the other party to avoid the sudden attack just now, she was negligent, and the illusion effect successfully hit her.
Seeing this, Kurenai immediately stepped forward with a kunai in her hand, ready to go behind Rin, so she would be considered the winner.
However, at this moment, Rin struggled and stabbed the kunai in her hand into her thigh, releasing the genjutsu control.
She then placed her kunai to Kurenai's abdomen, and Kurenai placed her kunai to Rin's neck.
Both were stunned and looked at Shikaku.
Shikaku was also stunned and looked at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen touched his beard and said, "Let's call it a draw. Both are great kunoichi."
Just like that, the girls' battle ended.
