No, this must be an illusion.
"Wow, this Ōtsutsuki Kaguya has such a noble demeanor, just like a royal princess."
"Yes, compared to that boy just now, it's like heaven and earth."
"However, none of this is useful. In the Chunin Exams, only those with strong power can achieve victory."
Some of the surrounding nobles, seeing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's appearance, couldn't help but light up their eyes and said.
"You are not my opponent." Kaguya arrived at the center of the battlefield, glanced indifferently at Yao Hozuki, then pursed her lips slightly and said.
The movement was small, but her voice carried clearly, so much so that even those in the spectator stands could hear Kaguya's voice.
Seeing Kaguya's dismissive attitude towards him, Yao Hozuki, who had intended to maintain a composed demeanor, suddenly found his words stuck in his throat.
Chapter 289: If He Makes a Move
Before Yao Hozuki stepped onto the stage, he had made ample preparations: the most orthodox Ninja attire, intricately woven with gold and silver threads, classical, noble, and luxurious.
His face was gentle and refined, and he appeared graceful on the surface.
He advanced using his Ice Release, arriving at the center of the battlefield.
Then, he gently yet arrogantly requested the opponent to voluntarily withdraw from the battle.
If the opponent agreed, that would be good. If not, then he would display his skills and defeat the opponent.
All of this, at first, proceeded according to Yao Hozuki's plan.
However, Kaguya's appearance disrupted Yao Hozuki's plan.
Compared to Yao Hozuki's feigned elegance, Kaguya's natural temperament utterly crushed him.
Yao Hozuki was somewhat depressed, and a hint of gloom clouded his face.
After all, in his opinion, this should have been his personal show, but he didn't expect the opponent's temperament to be so extraordinary.
However, Yao Hozuki wasn't particularly angry; this was merely one part of his plan, and there was more to come.
Furthermore, only by ultimately defeating the opponent would everything done before have meaning.
Thinking this, Yao Hozuki intended to follow his plan, gently yet arrogantly requesting the opponent to voluntarily withdraw from the battle.
But, unexpectedly, the opponent looked at him with an extremely dismissive gaze.
Moreover, the phrase "You are not my opponent" was spoken with such certainty.
It was as if it were truly the case, so much so that even Yao Hozuki, for a moment, felt it was a fact.
But upon coming to his senses, Yao Hozuki's heart exploded with rage.
Composure, composure! Forcing back the urge to curse aloud, Yao Hozuki's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
And Kaguya also remained silent.
For Kaguya, reminding the opponent once was already a sign of good mood; did he expect her to remind him a second time?
Furthermore, for Kaguya, she didn't look down on Yao Hozuki at all.
She ignored him.
For her, this Chunin Exams was merely a requirement from her husband, Uchiha In, to win first place.
She didn't take any of the other opponents seriously.
In fact, let alone Yao Hozuki, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Mizukage, the Third Kazekage, or even Uchiha Madara stood before Kaguya, Kaguya would probably just ignore them.
Of course, Yao Hozuki, who didn't know Kaguya's power, was extremely angry.
"Chunin Exams, second round, fifth match, begin!"
With Yuhi Shin Kurenai's command, the battle instantly began.
You hateful woman, take this!
Silently cursing Kaguya, Yao Hozuki leaped high, leaned back sharply, and then forcefully spewed out from below him.
Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave.
Immediately, towering waves surged, rising continuously, and in an instant, they had reached dozens of feet high.
Then, the surging waves plunged down without hesitation.
Although most of the Hozuki clan are Ninja proficient in Ice Release, Yao Hozuki is not only proficient in Ice Release but also exceptionally skilled in Water Release.
And Water Release's greatest use is large-scale attacks that alter the terrain.
Furthermore, if a watery environment is created, it is also very advantageous for Yao Hozuki, who is skilled in Ice Release.
And Yao Hozuki's immediate use of a Water Release with an extremely wide range and vast water volume fully demonstrated his power.
Jonin!
Even a Jonin not inferior to Biwa Jūzō or Munashi Jinpachi, who wielded Ninja blades.
Only Ninja with at least such power could unleash such a massive Water Release attack.
After using this Water Release, Yao Hozuki's face also turned a little pale.
Such a vast Water Release requires a huge amount of Chakra.
But he did not stop his movements, continuing to form hand signs without hesitation.
What he wanted to do was to eliminate the opponent in the shortest possible time with the most shocking Ninjutsu.
Secret Technique: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death.
The water on the giant waves formed numerous ice senbon, looking exceptionally menacing.
Ice senbon filled the sky, attacking Kaguya.
Yao Hozuki's face grew paler, but a look of pride appeared on his face.
He believed that his combination Ninjutsu would be impossible for the opponent to dodge or defend against!
All he needed to do was accept the fruits of victory!
The opponent must be at a loss right now, right?
