Chapter 33: Chapter 33: First match.
A few minutes later of talking, Hiruzen finally decided to start the exam, and he called down the first two participants, with one of them Being Yoroi, and... Shinju.
"What the hell?... Even a pinky is enough for this guy"
Shinju muttered as he looked at Yoroi in front of him, the match was not making him excited, he would rather fight Gaara since he wanted to teach him a lesson to respect the ones better than him.
"both of you ready?"
Hayate Gekko asked, trying hard to hold back his laughter. Shinju is a shinobi with a bounty of 25 million. Every Jonin knows this by now.
And Yoroi is just a nobody, everyone knows the results of the match already, so they are not really worried.
Both replied with a confident Yes.
Shinju and Yoroi answer, and Hayate starts the match as he pushes his hand down, Yoroi takes the first attack, and he throws 3 Shurikens at Shinju.
The three shuriken cut through the air toward Shinju. Everyone held their breath, thinking they would hit him, but they watched in shock as Shinju caught each shuriken in his hand.
"Should I play with you a little bit?"
Yoroi, enraged by the obvious provocation, even knowing it was just to make him mad, dashed at Shinju in anger, leaving behind an afterimage from his speed.
"I will show you what I got, you cocky brat!"
Yoroi screamed as his right hand lit up in a blue light, Shinju smirked as he waited until Yoroi was right in front of him, and he jumped up, his feet leaving the ground.
Then he started spinning in the air, making a small cyclone at the speed he was spinning, then when Yoroi arrived in front of him, his leg lashed out, hitting him in the side of the chest.
Boom!
Yoroi was launched into the air, his body spinning uncontrollably as his eyes went white, a few seconds later he struck the ground and he passed out fully.
The arena was silent for a few seconds before Hayate ended the match with a small smirk on his face.
"Winner: Shinju Ichida!"
Hinata and Shino smiled as they watched Shinju jump back on the rail, they were not really surprised since Shinju is stronger than even Kurenai, something they knew since he surpassed her in Genjutsu.
"Congrats Shinju, but I guess I shouldn't need to say that since it was not a challenge"
With a smile, Kurenai said while trying to hold back from showing disdain at Yoroi.
"DC-Congratulations Shnju..."
Hinata shyly said, and Shino nodded as he looked at Shinju, with a smile Shinju nodded.
"Thanks, guys, I appreciate it"
Shinju smiled as a minute passed, and Yoroi was carried out on a stretcher. Shinju hadn't truly killed him; it was just an exam. In a real mission, the outcome would have been different, but Shinju is not a killer.
"Now, the next match is Zaku Abumi and Shino Aburame"
Shino was surprised, but Shinju patted him on the back, and he jumped down with confidence, the opponent did the same, and they walked in front of each other.
"Ready?"
Hayate asked, and Shino nodded, Zaku did the same with an arrogant smirk.
Shino suddenly became illusory, like he was turning invisible, and Zaku stared in shock as he felt even the chakra of Shino vanish from in front of him.
"What?"
Kakashi and Asuma said with surprise as even though they barely felt the chakra of Shino, it was still there, but they could only sense it if they gave their everything.
Kakashi opened his sharingan, and even then he could only see a mass of chakra in front of him, and it was being eaten by Shino's bugs?...
Shinju smirked as he saw this, this was a technique that he taught Shino based on his chakra disguise technique, obviously, his chakra disguise is an ability of his clan, so he couldn't teach it.
But he could do something familiar as Shino could do a slightly different technique.
Using a common transformation technique known to every genin, Shino made his bugs invisible and let them fly around him before they adhered to his skin like a second layer of clothing.
Those bugs start sucking his chakra, making it much less detectable since if there is nothing to sense, it is nothing to be sensed.
"Where is that bastard?..."
Zaku looked around, and not being able to sense or see him, he decided to just take the risk and attack the place where Shino stood a second ago.
Shino dodged the attack of sound waves, and with speed that is much higher than a genin, he ran to his side, before he enhanced his hand with chakra.
This caused his fist to become visible, but only for a split second as he struck Zaku in the neck, knocking him out from the force of his chakra-enhanced punch.
Shinju taught Shino that too.
Finally revealing himself, Shino put his bugs back inside his body, and Hayate declared Shino the winner of the match, with the medics coming and taking Zaku away.
The next match was between Kankuro and Misumi, but that match was kind of irrelevant, so Shinju did not bother to pay attention to it, the winner was Kankuro.
"The next match is Sakura and Ino!"
Shinju felt his excitement plummet, and he sighed as he went and sat down against the wall, Hinata looked at him in worry, and Shino looked at him in confusion.
"Wake me up when an interesting match is finally starting"
Shinju said, and he closed his eyes with disdain, he could not bear to watch that meaningless fight, it's like watching 2 babies fight, entertaining for a few seconds, before you are bored.
Shinju made the right choice as Sakura and Ino knocked each other out with a punch, making it so that neither of them would move on to the next round.
The next match was Temari and Ten Ten, and that was almost as brutal as Shinju and Yoroi, it was kind of embarrassing how Temari beat Ten Ten, even putting her on her fan, disrespect was immaculate.
The next match was between Shikamaru and Kin, the fight was interesting, but it was boring as neither of them showed anything impressive outside of Shikamaru's IQ.
Interestingly, the next match was actually between Sasuke and Naruto, both of them were not at full power, and Sasuke had a curse mark on him, making him weaker than usual.
Shinju who was napping, felt a budge as Shino woke him up, and he looked at the arena in surprise seeing Naruto and Sasuke stand face to face, but with Kiba not here, it made sense.
"This is interesting"
Shinju smiled with interest as he got up to watch the fight, Naruto and Sasuke jumped down, and stood in front of each other, both of them looking at one another.
"Ready?"
