Chapter 592

The sword light formed a bright crescent arc.

The five-second fire-resistant insects were cleared away.

Sasuke Uchiha took this opportunity to retreat and simultaneously withdrew his ninja sword and performed hand seals with both hands.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!

The huge fireball reappeared.

The black Kikaichu touched the fireball and were immediately melted, emitting bursts of meat fragrance.

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but let out a breath when he saw this.

He guessed right!

Only the red Kikaichu had the ability to ignore Fire Release.

The black Kikaichu were still the original Kikaichu.

Shino Aburame couldn't help but frown.

He had lost the best opportunity.

Sasuke Uchiha was now prepared for the fire-resistant insects, and the subsequent attacks would be difficult to be effective.

Even so, the fire-resistant insects gave the surrounding crowd a huge shock upon their debut.

"Kikaichu that don't fear Fire Release?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was full of astonishment.

As Hokage, he knew the secret techniques of the Aburame clan very well.

This was his first time seeing these fire-resistant insects.

Did the Aburame clan hide their methods before?

But if they had hidden them, they shouldn't have been used by Shino Aburame in the monthly exam.

Then only one possibility remained: this was a mutated Kikaichu that Shino Aburame had newly created.

No, this was mostly related to Kitazawa.

"Is this the secret weapon given by Kitazawa-sensei?"

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened and he asked.

"If Sasuke's strength had been a little worse, he probably would have lost to Shino by now."

Shikamaru Nara said with amazement.

Although Kitazawa made it impossible for him to slack off, he had to admit that Kitazawa had indeed helped them a lot.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had improved the strength of every one of them.

"Besides Kikaichu that don't fear Fire Release, are there any other Kikaichu?"

Ino Yamanaka shuddered and said, "I hope there are no Kikaichu that ignore Yin Release!"

Whether it was the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan or the two new ninjutsu she had learned, they were all related to Yin Release.

If none of them worked on the Kikaichu, just thinking about it felt scary.

"But the final winner will definitely be Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura Haruno said very firmly.

Neji Hyuga nodded upon hearing this.

Because the situation on the field was that Sasuke Uchiha had the upper hand.

When Shino Aburame used fire-resistant insects, he used Konoha-style swordsmanship.

If he used ordinary Kikaichu, he switched back to Fire Release.

Back and forth, Shino Aburame was miserable.

If it were someone else, they couldn't use Konoha-style swordsmanship to deal with fire-resistant insects, because they flew fast and were small.

But Sasuke Uchiha happened to have the two-tomoe Sharingan, which could see their flight trajectory clearly.

Shino Aburame took the initiative to admit defeat after a stalemate of two minutes.

Because the fire-resistant insects he had accumulated were already mostly consumed, and continuing to fight would lead to the same result.

Sasuke Uchiha stopped his attack and put away his ninja sword upon hearing this.

He glanced at Kitazawa, thinking to himself that he had to be very careful with anything related to him.

Almost losing to Shino Aburame in the first round of confrontation just now had really left him with lingering fears.

"Winner, Sasuke Uchiha."

Kitazawa nodded slightly and said.

Shino Aburame had already performed very well.

The reason he lost was purely because Sasuke Uchiha was too strong.

"First round, third match, Ino Yamanaka vs. Shikamaru Nara."

Kitazawa announced after drawing lots.

"Trouble is still unavoidable."

Shikamaru Nara's eyelids twitched wildly after hearing his opponent was Ino Yamanaka.

"Let Itachi try the ninjutsu Kitazawa-sensei taught me."

Ino Yamanaka smiled and said.

Shikamaru Nara felt his face go bitter upon hearing this.

After all, the performances of Neji Hyuga and Shino Aburame just now had already proven the effect of Kitazawa's special training, which was visibly significant.

He definitely wouldn't have an easy time against Ino Yamanaka's new ninjutsu.

Although he had learned a new secret technique, he still had no confidence.

"Good luck to both of Itachi."

Choji Akimichi bit into a potato chip and said.

"Shikamaru, Itachi have to persist longer, let us all see what the new ninjutsu Kitazawa-sensei taught Ino really is."

Kiba Inuzuka patted Shikamaru Nara's shoulder and said.

Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and others also showed interested expressions.

"..."

Shikamaru Nara's mouth twitched, and he walked onto the field dejectedly.

"Come on!"

Ino Yamanaka said seriously.

Shadow Imitation Shuriken!

Shikamaru Nara's expression became extremely serious, and he directly used the secret technique he had just learned.

Compared to the Shadow Imitation Jutsu and Shadow Tentacles, the conditions for the Shadow Imitation Shuriken to take effect were very simple.

He threw two shuriken with both hands.

But the next second, Ino Yamanaka disappeared from her original spot.

"What?"

Shikamaru Nara's heart was shaken, and he subconsciously searched for Ino Yamanaka's figure.

Beautiful flower petals appeared out of thin air, circling and rotating around him.

Shikamaru Nara reacted quickly and retreated.

But the expected attack didn't appear.

These flowers seemed to be atmosphere props, floating around in the air.

"Feint?"

Shikamaru Nara was stunned for a moment.

Just then, the sound of wind breaking rang out.

He subconsciously looked up, saw Ino Yamanaka, and then was kicked in the head by a foot descending from the sky.

Shikamaru Nara sat on the ground, feeling dizzy.

"Itachi lost, Shikamaru."

Ino Yamanaka held a kunai at him and said proudly, "This is the Ninja Art: Moonlit Beauty taught to me by Kitazawa-sensei."

"Winner, Ino Yamanaka."

Kitazawa announced in time.

"Another new ninjutsu?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi showed surprise on his face.

This Ninja Art: Moonlit Beauty was clearly not a secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, and not even a ninjutsu of the ninja world.

He was a professor of ninjutsu and knew almost all the ninjutsu in the ninja world.

This Ninja Art: Moonlit Beauty was definitely not among them.

Could it be that it was created by Kitazawa again?

Besides Ino Yamanaka's excellent performance, Shikamaru Nara wasn't bad either.

At his age, mastering three secret techniques of the Nara clan was truly a genius.

Watching these three sparring matches, besides Naruto Uzumaki, the other five all had progress.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked forward to the subsequent practical exams even more.
