Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 470 Intelligence is the key to success

In the stands of the Joint Chunin Exam examination hall.

Namikaze Minato was originally looking at Uchiha Shisui who was about to enter the arena with a smile on his face, but suddenly he turned back as if he sensed something.

He saw Kaito sitting next to him, with his legs crossed and a smile on his face.

There seemed to be a few glowing green feathers around his body that were slowly dissipating.

Of course, the Mizukage's clone had been sitting there all along, and now it was just a change in sitting posture, which should not be worth surprising him.

But at this moment, the broken ice under the other person's feet seemed to prove that the person in front of him had been replaced by his original body.

'How did he do that? Could it be that he also possesses some kind of space-time ninjutsu?'

The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato is an outstanding sensory ninja.

Even if he hadn't actively activated the perception jutsu, he didn't quite believe that someone could have walked past him silently, and he only noticed it after the original clone was replaced.

The blue feathers that seemed like an illusion and the broken ice that was melting rapidly on the ground could also prove this.

The other party had indeed just returned and disbanded his signature 'Ice Clone'.

'Is it an illusion? It doesn't seem like it.'

Minato frowned and fell into deep thought.

This simple trick that Kaito came up with on a whim made him once again feel the unfathomable strength of this young Mizukage.

It was the Kazekage Rasa on the other side who only realized it at this moment and looked back.

With some doubts, Rasa followed Minato's line of sight and saw a puddle of water in front of Kaito. He immediately frowned slightly like Minato.

'What's this guy up to? A water clone?'

Kaito, who was laughing secretly, naturally would not take the initiative to tell the two guys who were in doubt.

The clone he had worked so hard to create released the 'White Mist' to block their perception, added the 'Feather Dance' to obscure their sight, and then added the 'Shadow Sneak' to move, and finally released the clone to replace his position.

He went through so much trouble just to show up suddenly and scare them.

'But Minato is a very perceptive guy.'

Even though Kaito's original intention was just to do this on a whim, he was still too close to the other party, and ultimately failed to hide his position change perfectly, which made him more or less disappointed.

Pretending to ignore the gazes of the two people, Kaito reorganized his thoughts and put away his playful intentions.

While receiving the feedback from his clone about the previous match, he looked seriously towards the ring below.

In the last battle, Ringo Ameyuri fought against Guren.

In the end, Ringo Ameyuri did not embarrass Kaito.

Although she was a little inferior to Guren in the big scene, she finally defeated the opponent with her super high speed and the 'Lightning Style: Ariel Ace' which was modified for her by Kaito based on the principle of 'Lightning Style Chakra Mode'.

Ringo Ameyuri's fighting style is to take on all opponents with her super-high speed that far exceeds that of her opponents.

It is somewhat similar to the style of Kaito when he was young (crossed out), and to the style of Kaito when his strength was relatively weak.

However, Ringo Ameyuri is still too young after all, and her talent in physical training is not that strong, so she is not yet able to directly learn the 'Lightning Style Chakra Mode'.

Otherwise, Kaito estimated that even if it was the current three-tomoe Uchiha Shisui, Ringo Ameyuri should still have a chance to fight.

Yes, in the last match of the semi-finals, it is Kaito's own disciple Hozuki Mangetsu who will go against Uchiha Shisui.

But from his point of view, Mangetsu's actual winning rate is not too high.

Even the final champion of this Chunin Exam is likely to fall into Konoha's hands.

After all, something like the Three-tomoe Sharingan is really too advanced for these little guys at the Genin stage.

Of course, if the outcome of a battle could be determined solely by strength on paper, there probably wouldn't be so many disputes in this world.

Therefore, Kaito still looked at the two young children standing opposite each other in the field with some anticipation.

'Your sensei has taught you everything he should have taught you. Now that you are facing a strong enemy, what are you going to do?'

At this time, Hozuki Mangetsu, who was in the middle of the field, looked at Uchiha Shisui opposite him with a serious expression.

Just now, Ringo Ameyuri had won the battle.

And before that was Nakamura Kabuto.

That guy said that he surrendered because his chakra was exhausted.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu was very clear that his smart teammate had placed the stakes of victory on him.

Although when he first became the sensei's disciple, he joined as the last additional member.

But now that the other two teammates have made their efforts, Hozuki Mangetsu will naturally try his best.

And!

'Sensei is looking at me!'

For some people, this tremendous pressure may overwhelm them and even make them unable to recover.

But there are always a few.

The huge pressure actually brings them endless motivation.

As Harusame announced the start of the match, Hozuki Mangetsu drew the short sword from behind without hesitation and rushed towards Uchiha Shisui in front of him.

However, how could Uchiha Shisui, who had also been observing the fights between several other candidates, not be aware of the difficulty of the young man from the Hozuki clan opposite him?

As soon as the battle started, he activated the Three-tomoe Sharingan without any hesitation.

Uchiha Shisui stood still, staring at Hozuki Mangetsu who was charging towards him.

He is watching for that subtle moment when the other person looks up and their eyes meet.

Uchiha Shisui's scarlet eyes suddenly shook.

'Demonic Illusions: Shackle Stakes Technique!'

The next moment, Hozuki Mangetsu, who was still rushing forward, suddenly seemed to be restrained in place by some invisible substance.

The body kept shaking, but he couldn't move at all.

Even the short sword that he was holding tightly in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since the beginning of the Chunin Exam, he has been trying his best to avoid using illusions against the enemies.

The purpose is to hide his most outstanding ability as a trump card.

Now it has indeed been successful with one strike.

"Intelligence is the most important piece of the ninja's puzzle to victory!"

Looking at Hozuki Mangetsu who was standing there completely unable to move, Shisui's eyes revealed a trace of indescribable pity.

And Hozuki Mangetsu, who had originally launched a fierce charge, now even dropped his weapon and stood there in a daze.

Naturally, this also caused dissatisfaction among the audience outside the venue.

"Hey! Kid!? Move!"

"What the hell is this? Is this the end?"

"Uchiha boy! Kill him!"

The audience, who were originally full of expectations for the semi-finals, certainly would not accept such a result, and many even started throwing debris into the stadium.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Shisui looked in the direction of the examiner Harusame with a little helplessness.

Hopefully he'll announce the results soon.

Unexpectedly, all he saw was Harusame's expressionless face.
