Chapter 789: I Give Up

Chapter 789: I Give Up

In the center of arena, the ‘stalemate' and ‘intense' battle, continued.

Despite the Aburame Clan’s Genin’s anger and shame, under Temari's ‘guidance’, he had no choice but to tough it out.

At this moment, in the front row of the left-side stands, the leader of Sunagakure’s group, Baki and the group of Sunagakure’s Shinobi, are standing by the guardrail, staring at the ongoing battle below with a serious expression.

“Baki-sama, what's wrong with Temari?”

“Yeah, why has she been using low-level Wind Release Ninjutsu continuously?”

“With her strength, she should be able to defeat the opponent quickly!”

“Could it be that her injuries haven't healed yet?”

The Sunagakure’s Shinobi chattered continuously.

“Shut up!”

Baki interrupted them with a sullen face. His deep voice steadily entered the Sunagakure’s Shinobi’s ears amidst the noisy shouts from the surrounding, “Temari is deliberately holding back. She is intentionally putting herself in a disadvantageous position to showcase her excellent defensive abilities to all the spectators! When the time is right, she will defeat her opponent in a single decisive strike, demonstrating her outstanding intelligence-gathering abilities and unwavering fighting spirit! In this way, Temari's promotion to Chunin will be a certain thing! At the same time, it will showcase the excellent qualities of Sunagakure’s Shinobi to all the audiences present!”

‘As expected of the disciple I trained!’

‘I am so proud of you!’

Baki showed a satisfied and proud expression.

The other Sunagakure’s Shinobi, after hearing his explanation, also praised Temari one after another.

But what happened next left them all dumbfounded.

On the center of the arena.

The Aburame Clan’s Genin controlled two streams of ‘black smoke’ to surround Temari. In the eyes of onlookers, it seemed like he had the upper hand, giving the illusion that he could defeat Temari at any moment.

‘It’s almost time.’ Temari waved her huge fan, preparing to ‘turn the tables' with a surprising ‘counterattack’, deeply imprinting the tenacious and resilient image of the Sunagakure’s Shinobi in the hearts of the thousands of spectators!

However, at this moment, the two streams of ‘black smoke' besieging her suddenly dissipated, turning into scattered Kikaichu and flying back into the Aburame Clan’s Genin’s sleeves.

‘Huh?’

Temari looked at the Aburame Clan’s Genin, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in her heart.

“I...”

The Aburame Clan’s Genin looked Temari, feeling resentful and indignant, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then, said loudly, “I give up!!!”

His voice, aided by Chakra, quickly spread to the five stands. The shouts of thousands of spectators abruptly stopped, followed by a burst of chaotic discussions.

“Plot! This is a shady plot!”

“He obviously had the upper hand, why would he suddenly give up?”

“Is it because your opponent is a girl, you, you...You are still a child!!!”

At this moment, the excellent head examiner, Gekko Kanpū, appeared between the two with a flicker, and a powerful pressure descended like an invisible mountain, suppressing all the spectators on the five stands, and the chaotic discussions instantly ceased!

‘Wow...so powerful!!’

‘Isn’t the pressure of this Konoha’s head examiner too terrifying?’

‘He’s definitely above Elite Jonin!’

On the stands, the knowledgeable ministers, celebrities, wealthy merchants and the other rich people from various small countries are all filled with awe and fear, deepening their admiration for the mighty Konoha!

On the main stand.

The four Daimyo beside Minato were also shaken by this powerful pressure.

Feeling the mountain-like pressure, Land of Fire’s Daimyo looked at the quiet thousands of spectators around and felt a mix of shock and joy. He couldn't help but want to speak, but when he tried, it felt like his throat was being pressed by a mountain, and he couldn't utter a word.

“What a mess.”

Minato smiled bitterly while shaking his head. Then, the powerful pressure surrounding the five of them instantly dissipated.

Land of Fire’s Daimyo finally felt that he could speak again: “Yondaime, this head examiner is really strong. He feels no weaker than the legendary Sannin. Oh, hehehehe, it’s really amazing, and he is still so young, just like you, Yondaime.”

The sissy Daimyo spoke while covering his mouth with a folding fan, looking around left and right, full of pride.

The other three Daimyo noticed, but did not dare to beep at all.

Because what the Land of Fire’s Daimyo said was the absolute truth, and they couldn't refute it nor they dare to.

The three Daimyo looked at each other and decided to entrust more missions to Konoha in the future, to deepen the alliance and friendship between the two sides!

Ignoring the reactions of the people on the stands...

On the center of the arena.

Temari, who was closest to Kanpū, only felt the pressure around her as if it were squeezing her, causing her to breathe rapidly, her endocrine system in disarray, and her duodenum on the verge of breaking into thirteen pieces.

‘This guy... guy, who is so much younger than Baki-sensei... is actually so terrifying?’

This kind of terrifying pressure... Temari had not even felt it on her brother, Gaara!

“Gek... Gekko-sama!”

The Aburame Clan’s Genin also felt he was unable to lift his head, but since he knew Kanpū, although he felt uncomfortable, he wasn’t shocked. Therefore, his face remained indifferent like usual.

Kanpū looked at this unfamiliar Aburame Clan’s Genin with slight surprise. Looking at his indifferent expression of ‘Gekkou Kanpū should naturally be this strong’, at this moment, Kanpū was deeply shocked!

Retracting the pressure coming from his body, Kanpū wore a harmless smile and announced the result loudly: “The first match, Sunagakure’s Temari wins!”

Temari heavily gasped for breath, her face devoid of any joy!

Because she was in a ‘disadvantage’, she won with the dominant party’s initiative to give up. Winning in such a way almost meant zero hope of promoting to Chunin!

‘Damn it!!’
