Chapter 358 Battle Ends
"Konoha's new generation... is truly full of surprises."
This Chunin Exam not only shocked the people from other villages, but also allowed the Third Hokage to better understand the kids in his own village.
On the arena.
Chanel's face was as pale as paper.
The strain of casting the Vajra Sealing Barrier on her still-developing body was devastating. She felt as if her chakra was being ruthlessly drained by a pump, and the excruciating pain in her meridians almost made her faint.
"It's...not over yet!"
Chanel bit her lip, and blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.
She endured the excruciating pain, changed her hand seals again, and then slammed her palm onto the arena floor.
The five golden chains tightened instantly, pinning Killer Bee firmly to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"Sealing Technique: Four Symbols Sealing!"
The complex black magic spells spread rapidly along the golden chains like ink across Killer Bee's body, eventually converging into a black spiral pattern on his abdomen.
"Buzz!"
As the seal was completed, the dark red tailed beast chakra cloak on Killer Bee's body vanished without a trace!
"call……"
After doing all this, Chanel could no longer hold on.
The golden chains turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. She didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
"It worked..." Kana looked at Killer Bee, who had returned to normal and was lying on the ground panting heavily, and managed a weak smile.
"Hehe, big guy, now... your big monster is gone."
However, Killer Bee did not lose his fighting ability as Kana had imagined.
Although the tailed beast's chakra was sealed, his physical attributes were still those of a Cloud Village elite who had been tempered and refined through countless trials!
"Cough cough..."
Killer Bee got up from the ground. Although he was in a mess due to the backlash from the seal, he looked at Kana, who was slumped on the ground, and there was no longer any contempt in his eyes.
"Hey! Little girl! You've earned my respect!"
Killer Bee dusted himself off, walked up to Kana, but didn't draw his sword.
"Although you sealed my chakra, with your current strength, that seal... can only last for three to five days at most, right?"
Kirabi grinned.
"Besides, you don't even have the strength to stand up now, do you?"
"So what..." Kana stubbornly raised her little face, "At least... I wasn't scared away by you."
"That's right!"
Killer Bee raised his right fist and, without using any chakra, gently tapped Kana's forehead.
"Bang."
"Ouch!"
Kana covered her forehead and obediently fell backward, lying on the arena in a "spread-eagle" position. Although she wasn't in much pain, she really couldn't squeeze out a single drop of chakra.
"I won! Yeah!" Killer Bee raised his hands and struck a victory pose.
"Konoha, Kana Uzumaki, incapacitated!"
Sakumo Hatake appeared between the two and announced loudly, "The victor is Killer Bee from Kumogakure!"
The entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.
The applause was not only for the victor, Killer Bee, but also for the red-haired little girl who overcame the odds and displayed amazing perseverance and sealing talent.
Kana lay on the ground, listening to the cheers around her. Although she had lost, she felt inexplicably happy.
"Kushina-neechan... I didn't let you down, did I?" She closed her eyes and revealed a tired but bright smile.
In the stands.
Kushina shouted proudly, "Kana! Well done!"
Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently.
"Looks like I'll have to prepare some good food for her when we get back."
……
VIP seating.
The Fourth Raikage, A, slumped heavily onto the sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He felt like he was on a rollercoaster today, going up and down so much that even this tough guy felt his heart couldn't take it.
"That was close... this kid finally won."
Ai wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Killer Bee on the screen, who looked somewhat disheveled despite having won, and secretly felt fortunate.
If the mighty Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were to be eliminated by a mere girl from Konoha, the Raikage might as well just jump off the Hokage Rock.
"However, Konoha's foundation is indeed terrifying." Ai's eyes became somewhat complicated.
On the other side, Tsunade made no attempt to hide her satisfied smile.
"This little girl usually seems lazy, but she shows real backbone when it matters. Although she didn't make it to the finals, she dared to face the Tailed Beast head-on under that pressure and even successfully used the Adamantine Sealing Chains..."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, considering how hard she's working, I'll still give her the 100,000 taels of pocket money I promised her if she makes it to the finals."
Thinking of this, Tsunade glanced at Nishikawa Tetsu with ill intent at the commentary booth.
"Anyway, I'm taking the consulting fee from this kid, so I don't care."
In the main seat, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, still wore that same kind and smiling expression.
As he smoked his pipe, he pondered a far-reaching strategy in his mind.
"Xiangna did even better than expected."
The third generation had a profound vision; he saw not only Kana's potential but also the enormous benefits this battle would bring.
"Killer Bee's Eight-Tails chakra is locked up by the Four Symbols Seal. Although with Kana's current strength, this seal can only last for three to five days at most..."
"But that's enough."
"The quarterfinals, semifinals, and even the finals will all take place in the next few days."
"This means that in the upcoming matches, the Cloud Village's greatest trump card, the power of the Eight-Tails, will be completely unusable."
"Killer Bee, you can only rely on your physical skills to face your next opponent."
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage looked at the Fourth Raikage not far away, his eyes revealing a profound meaning.
"Without the threat of the tailed beasts, Konoha's chances of winning the next match are much greater."
