Although Shisui immediately jumped a few times to create distance, he still inhaled some of the poisonous gas, and instantly felt dizzy, with everything appearing in double vision.
His body was also extremely weak, cold sweat poured down, and his Chakra circulation was somewhat obstructed. He immediately pulled out an antidote and took it, but unfortunately, it could only temporarily suppress the spread of the poison and not cure it.
"Shisui seems to have a connection with poison mist. In the original work, Danzo also nearly killed Shisui with poison. Now, how will Shisui break through without Susanoo?"
Ling looked at the battle arena, which was sealed off by a barrier to contain the poison mist, and was somewhat worried about Shisui's safety. However, since Shisui had neither surrendered nor fainted, she found it inconvenient to intervene.
In this enclosed space, Shisui had nowhere to escape. He tried his best to hold his breath, then used the Great Fireball Technique to try and burn away the poisonous gas.
Even in his weakened state, the Great Fireball Technique Shisui unleashed still had a diameter of over four meters, burning away the poisonous gas as it went, plowing a trench in the ground towards the Special Jonin from Root who was using the Forbidden Technique.
Although the Root Special Jonin was somewhat weakened from losing a lot of blood due to using the Forbidden Technique, he still easily dodged the burning Great Fireball Technique.
The Root Special Jonin showed a cruel smile, the ruthlessness in his eyes sending shivers down one's spine. He moved through the poison mist, constantly dodging Shisui's various Fire Release Ninjutsu.
Although most of the poison mist had been burned away, Shisui was now at his limit. The extensive use of Chakra for Ninjutsu caused the unchecked poison within him to spread continuously.
At this point, his blood vessels had become even more purplish-blue, and the bloodshot in his eyes could rival the crimson of the Sharingan. Even though several double images were appearing before his eyes, Shisui still persisted.
Just then, the Root Special Jonin used Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Shisui, who was about to collapse, preparing to deliver the finishing blow. At this moment, Ling had already prepared the Flying Thunder God Jutsu formula, and Minato also had his fingers clasped, ready to act.
"Brat! Die! This is the interest collected from the Uchiha!" The Root Ninja swung his Ninjato down, but he could no longer move.
The instant he swung his Ninjato down, Shisui looked up and used almost all of his Sharingan Doujutsu to cast the Genjutsu: Binding, freezing him in place.
Then, Shisui, trembling, slowly, inch by inch, plunged his Ninjato into the Root Ninja's heart while he was still conscious. As blood splattered onto Shisui's face, both fell to the ground simultaneously.
Minato Namikaze was faster, bringing Shisui back. Ling immediately used Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to extract the toxins, while simultaneously using Enka's Reversal Technique to repair his cells damaged by the poison mist.
Ling discovered that the positive Curse Power of Reversal Technique was also very fast at decomposing toxins. That made sense, after all, Jujutsu Kaisen relied entirely on Reversal Technique for healing, since they didn't have anything like Delicate Illness Extraction Technique.
Fortunately, Shisui had not been poisoned for long, and it had not penetrated deep into his vital organs. Coupled with Enka's Reversal Technique, Shisui quickly recovered his health, though he was still unconscious due to excessive use of Doujutsu and Chakra.
Ling injected a tube of Chakra-restoring nutrient solution into Shisui's bloodstream, and he would soon recover his Chakra and wake up.
Ling was somewhat relieved that her invented high-energy nutrient solution could be injected; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to administer it mouth-to-mouth.
"Ling, how is Shisui?" Obito was quite concerned about his clan younger brother, so he immediately ran over to ask.
Ling wiped away non-existent sweat, looked at Rin, Kakashi, and Might Guy, who had gathered around, and smiled gently.
"He's fine now, he'll wake up soon. With me acting, what is there to worry about?"
Shisui killed that Root Special Jonin at the cost of severe injuries. The other two Root Ninja gave Ling a fierce look before leaving.
Soon, it was Ling's turn to enter the arena. Her opponent was a young Ninja from Takigakure Village. Judging by his Chakra volume, he should be an elite Chunin or Special Jonin.
Facing Ling, he didn't make much of a ripple. Before he could even use Ninjutsu, a single Body Flicker Technique slash cut through his blocking Kunai, and his body was sent flying by the immense force, his wrist directly dislocated. Before Ling could deliver a second blow, he surrendered directly.
Ling's violent fighting style stunned the Ninja from various villages who were observing. They wondered if they themselves faced such heavy blows, they would at most be able to block a few more.
The reason for such a quick end to the fight was also that Ling didn't want to play around anymore. She needed to quickly finish the Chunin Exams to find a place to create her Ling.
So, with five-tenths of her strength, Ling finished her opponent in just two slashes. She had no grudge with that Takigakure Village Ninja; otherwise, one slash would have cut him and his Kunai in half.
Due to the small number of participants, the second round of battles was completed by noon. The finals would be in the afternoon, with only six participants remaining. From Konoha, Ling, Shisui, and that Jonin uncle had all advanced.
There were three from Konoha, and one each from Sand Ninja, Cloud Ninja, and Stone Ninja. Except for Shisui and Ling, all of them were Jonin-level strength, which showed how unlucky the Genin were in this Chunin Exams.
After eating the rice balls provided by Amegakure, lunch ended hastily. There was no need for a lunch break; the third round began immediately.
Ling against the Stone Ninja Jonin, Shisui against the Cloud Ninja Jonin, and the Konoha Jonin against the Sand Ninja Jonin.
This was clearly a direct targeting. They thought Ling specialized in Taijutsu, so they assigned her a Stone Ninja who specialized in Earth Release defensive Ninjutsu. They thought Shisui specialized in Fire Release, so they assigned him a Cloud Ninja who could use Water Release. And they assigned the Konoha Jonin, who specialized in Lightning Release, a Wind Release Jonin who countered Lightning Release.
Unfortunately, they underestimated Ling. Who said she was only good at swordsmanship? Soon, she would let that Stone Ninja witness the Lightning Release Ninjutsu Ling had copied in the past few days.
The first to enter the arena were Shisui and the Cloud Ninja Jonin. This Cloud Ninja Jonin was very strong, proficient in Taijutsu, swordsmanship, and both Lightning Release and Water Release. Shisui was indeed heavily suppressed.
In the end, after Shisui used all his abilities, he was knocked out by a Lightning and Water Release composite Ninjutsu. Shisui suffered continuous injuries; if not for Ling, he would probably have died long ago.
The Konoha Jonin, facing the Wind Release Jonin who countered him, also had an extremely difficult fight. He couldn't use Lightning Release Chakra Mode, so he was forced to concede after receiving numerous cuts.
Under Ling's treatment, he quickly recovered. Now, only Ling remained from Konoha. If Ling lost, it would achieve their first goal, which was to damage Konoha's reputation.
When Ling entered the arena, she was somewhat speechless at her opponent's fully armored appearance. This Stone Ninja Jonin was covered in a layer of black, solid Earth Release: Earth Spear defense, and also wore extremely durable metal plate armor.
Such caution, if Ling were truly just a Ninja skilled in Wind Release swordsmanship, she would definitely be severely countered, even harder to defeat than a turtle shell.
Ling felt annoyed and decided to use a full-power Body Flicker Technique Super Strength Fist burst. If one punch couldn't kill her opponent, Ling would simply surrender.
"Brat! Come on! Earth Release: Golem Technique!" As the match began, this Stone Ninja Jonin shamelessly used the Golem Technique to create a five-meter-tall rock giant to block in front of him.
"I'll only throw one punch. If it doesn't kill you, I lose!" Ling's body surged with Chakra, forming a visible Chakra pressure.
