Chapter 289: 289

Early in the morning, the sun shined through the gaps in the leaves, leaving little spots on the stage of the sacred tree.

Tsunade's disciples gathered here early and prepared for battle.

"Hey, tell me which three of us will Tsunade-sama send on the field, after all, we have one, two, three, four, five, six or seven people."

Suigetsu stretched out his finger and counted the number of people on his side, and then said excitedly, "Anyway, I will definitely be selected, I am the genius of the No. 1 wealthy Hozuki clan in Kirigakure, Tsunade-sama must have seen my excellence and efforts this time."

"This narcissistic guy, stand there and let me hit you first."Follow current novels at novelhall.comari let out a sneer, took off the tall fan behind her, and slammed it on the ground, making a dull sound.

"Damn woman, don't be too arrogant."

Facing the cold water splashed by Temari, Suigetsu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Obviously, during the three months when the two became partners, some small frictions occurred between them.

"I don't know if Kimimaro's strength has improved or not, but I can't wait to blow him up and let him have a good look at my latest art, hahaha."

Deidara, who was on the side, laughed to himself, and his mind was full of scenes where he blows up Kimimaro.

Although he is not a direct disciple of Tsunade, his strength is recognized as the strongest among them. He will definitely have his place in the battle later, and he will most likely be the last to play.

In Deidara's eyes, Haku and Karin are not worth mentioning, and only Kimimaro is his opponent.

The others, although did not clearly express their thoughts, but judging from their eyes and expressions, everyone is eager to fight in their hearts.

After all, this is a good opportunity to prove themselves to Tsunade.

And Tsunade said that whoever wins the competition will receive a very generous reward.

"By the way, where is Hinata? I haven't seen her for the past three months. Where did she go? Could it be that Tsunade made her undergo some kind of secret special training?"

At this time, Kankuro looked around and asked curiously.

As soon as he said that, Tsunade appeared out of thin air with Hinata and Toneri, on the stage of the sacred tree and came to them.

"This is Toneri from the moon, and he will be your teammate from today."

Tsunade patted Toneri's shoulder and introduced him, "Toneri is born without eyes and can't see, so you guys should take care of him a little more and don't bully him ,do you understand?"

'From the moon?'

When everyone heard this, they all opened their eyes wide, showing a surprised look.

"My name is Toneri Otsutsuki. I am honored to be your teammates. I will be with you all in the future. Please take care of me."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to them, showing humility and courtesy.

Everyone came back to their senses and enthusiastically gathered around Toneri, curious about this young man with white skin and blue and white hair.

"What is it like on the moon, and is life there any different from the ninja world?"

"You don't have eyes, so life must be very inconvenient, right?"

They immediately surrounded Toneri, and left Hinata in the cold and left her aside.

"You can question him later."

Seeing this, Tsunade interrupted them, and said to Toneri, "There will be a few fight later, you can stay and observe."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Toneri nodded, then walked silently to Hinata's side, bent down slightly, like a loyal little follower, and whispered to Hinata, "Miss Hinata-sama, all the best!"

Hinata blushed when she heard his encouragement, and stammered in response: "I, I may not be able to fight, after all, everyone is very good, and there are only three places"

'What?'

Toneri questioned in surprise: "Is there someone more powerful than Hinata-sama among these people?"

In his opinion, Hinata, who has the pure bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, is definitely a genius far above her peers by virtue of her noble blood and the power of her Byakugan.

At this moment, with a wave of space fluctuations appeared and four figures appeared out of thin air and landed in the center of the Divine Tree stage.

It was Kisame and his three disciples.

"I thought you got stage fright and didn't dare to come."

As soon as Tsunade saw Kisame, she immediately turned on the mocking mode. At the same time, her eyes swept over the three behind Kisame.

At first glance, the three of them did not change much compared to three months ago, but Tsunade was keenly aware that their eyes and temperament were completely different.

After discovering this, Tsunade became suspicious and turned her head to look in another direction. Pakura too came to the big stage at some point, standing not far away, watching silently.

Pakura nodded towards Tsunade, signaling the latter to be at ease.

'Asshole, don't get too complacent!'

Thinking of this, Tsunade became more and more angry. After glaring at Kisame, she turned her head to look at her disciples murderously, and asked in a deep voice, "Who wants to be the first?"

The kids were startled by Tsunade's murderous eyes, and when they came back to their senses and signed up one after another.

"Tsunade-sensei, let me go, I will definitely beat Karin all over the floor!" Suigetsu was the first to speak, as he couldn't wait to make a contribution.

Because everyone knows that Karin is the youngest and the weakest of all. Kisame sending her out first, basically as a gift.

"Tsunade-sama, I request to fight, and I will definitely win this match."

Temari said after thinking about it for a while.

She knows that she is not Kimimaro's opponent, and Haku's ice release is a bit tricky, but if her opponent is Karin, Temari thinks that it is impossible to lose.

If he can seize this opportunity and take a point firmly, it would be great.

Following the two, others too applied to fight, and in the end only Yamato, Gaara, Deidara and Hinata remained silent.

Yamato is kind-hearted and can't bear to bully Karin, while Gaara is simply not interested in fighting against Karin, and Deidara has only one opponent in his eyes, Karin.

As for Hinata, how could she possibly take action against her only good friend, Karin.

So Hinata pretended not to hear what Tsunade said, lowered her head, twisted her index fingers together and drew circles.

However, the more afraid of something one is, the more it happens.

After Tsunade listened to them, her eyes swept across them and finally fell on Hinata.

"Hinata, you go first!"

She thought for a moment and made this decision.

'What?'

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes turned to Hinata in surprise, because in their eyes, although Karin was the weakest on the opposite side, Hinata was also the weakest of their own.

Could it be that her strength has soared in the past three months, so she made Tsunade of confidence in her?

Hinata also looked up in surprise, feeling overwhelmed.

She didn't come back to her senses until she was reminded by Toneri beside her, and walked out of the queue nervously.

"Fight well."

Tsunade patted Hinata on the shoulder when she passed by her, and while encouraging, she warned, "I want you to go all out to defeat Uzumaki Karin, understand? Just because she is your friend, If you just lost on purpose, I will definitely not spare you."

Hinata was stunned and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Very well, go."

Tsunade said with satisfaction.

She really has confidence in Hinata, especially after Hinata has mastered the power of coercion, her strength in Tsunade's heart can already be ranked in the top three of all the disciples.

In addition, in Tsunade's subconscious, she still hoped that she could win against Kisame dignifiedly and convince the bastard.

Hinata and Karin were the youngest among all the disciples, and their strength was similar three months ago. Their test results can best prove that who is the better teacher, Tsunade or Kisame.

Therefore, Tsunade decided to send Hinata to fight against Karin.

Kisame saw through Tsunade's thoughts, so he smiled at her again and joked:

"It seems that our thoughts really coincide, and they are quite tacit. It will definitely be a very exciting battle between Karin and Hinata, what do you think?"

"I do not think so."

Tsunade said coldly, and then shouted sharply at Hinata, " Hinata, don't hesitate. Just do it!"

She was worried that Kisame had taught Karin to plead in advance, so she would pretend to be pitiful to plead with Hinata, shake Hinata's will and take the opportunity to make a sneak attack. Although this kind of thing is despicable, but with Tsunade's understanding of Kisame, he will definitely do it.

When Hinata heard that, she naturally didn't dare to talk to Karin, she even opened her gentle fist stance and opened her Byakugan without hesitation.

Karin also didn't say a word and took a stance.

Next second.

The two girls kicked on the ground at the same time and charged towards each other.

'Karin, I will end this soon. Sorry, but I have to win because I have to live up to Tsunade-sama's expectations of me.'

Hinata said in her heart, quickly attacked with gentle fist, and it went straight to Karin's chest, trying to decide the outcome with one move.

However, what Hinata did not expect was,

"Haaa!"

Karin shouted, and before Hinata's gentle fist hit her, she slammed her fist into the ground between the two.
