The audience was all shocked, looking terrified and awestruck.
The Daimyos were also shocked, their faces turning pale at the thought of being attacked by such Ninjutsu!
Some newly promoted Ninja were also very shocked, but those who had participated in the Third Shinobi World War were not surprised by this Ninjutsu. However, what did shock them was that a 10-year-old Genin could actually perform such Ninjutsu.
Yumi and several Genin from Hidden Mist Village in the waiting room were also stunned! They looked at the Arena, their faces filled with horror!
They quickly thanked the gods they believed in for not becoming targets of this Ninjutsu!
Feng Zheng noticed the damage and thought.
“Uh, things don't seem as bad as I thought. Those electrified kunai did scare me a bit. I thought they would pierce deep into the ground, making even the underground unsafe.”
“This must be someone who charged kunai with Lightning Release and sealed them. And Mieko just summoned and used them. Sigh, the Uchiha Clan is truly rich! They spent over three hundred thousand ryo for a meaningless Chunin Exams match!”
As the attack ended, he left the underground and returned to the surface.
Mieko was breathing very heavily! This Ninjutsu had reduced her Chakra to below 20%.
She saw Feng Zheng leave the underground and laughed.
“Let's see where you can hide now!”
She used Body Flicker Technique under the cover of dust and performed Fireball Technique.
Feng Zheng sensed her arrival, his figure flashed, and he dodged the Ninjutsu.
The crowd, who had been in shock, was startled again by an explosion.
Soon, the sound of kunai colliding echoed in the Arena.
But due to too much dust, the audience couldn't see what was happening. Only those with Sharingan and Byakugan could see what was happening.
Inoichi Yamanaka was also worried because he couldn't see the specific situation either.
In the Arena, after dodging her Fireball Technique, Feng Zheng created a Shadow Clone to fight Mieko.
His Shadow Clone engaged her first, while Feng Zheng provided support. Mieko was breathing heavily as her Chakra was about to run out.
Feng Zheng's Shadow Clone sighed and said, while fighting Mieko with kunai.
“You only have ten percent of your Chakra left, surrender. Even if you win, you won't be able to participate in the finals.”
Mieko frowned and shouted.
“How can I surrender without fighting your main body!”
Although she shouted arrogantly, she thought to herself.
“With just one look, I can turn the tide!”
Feng Zheng knew she was still relying on her Sharingan Genjutsu.
The Shadow Clone said.
“Don't even think about using Sharingan Jutsu on me, I will never fall for it, not to mention I haven't drawn my sword yet. If I did, you wouldn't last a second.”
Mieko frowned at his words. The scene of Feng Zheng swinging his sword to cut down two waves of bandits was still vivid in her mind! However, she concluded.
“He won't use his sword here, it's too lethal, otherwise he would have used it already.”
She snorted and continued to attack. Feng Zheng and his Shadow Clone both sighed, realizing she hadn't fallen for it.
Her analysis was accurate. Feng Zheng couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't die if he used his sword.
Then he looked at Mieko and decided.
“Alright, it's time to get serious.”
He immediately increased his Chakra. Unlike Mieko, Feng Zheng still had more than half of his Chakra left.
When Mieko saw Feng Zheng accumulate Chakra, she immediately became alert.
She wanted to attack him but was blocked by his Shadow Clone.
Suddenly, after blocking her, Feng Zheng's Shadow Clone grabbed her right arm.
Mieko wanted to break free, but all her attacks were perfectly blocked by Feng Zheng's Shadow Clone.
Just then, Feng Zheng appeared behind his Shadow Clone and performed Great Breakthrough Technique.
Mieko's eyes widened, she realized Feng Zheng was attacking both his Shadow Clone and her.
Unfortunately, she had no time and not enough Chakra to react.
Feng Zheng's Shadow Clone was immediately dispelled. The Ninjutsu hit Mieko with full force. She was sent flying into the Arena wall!
She hit the wall and lost consciousness.
Feng Zheng's Ninjutsu also cleared the dust in the Arena.
Unfortunately for the audience, a large amount of dust was carried into the stands. Many people immediately started coughing and covered their eyes, noses, and mouths.
Several Ninja who could use Wind Release Ninjutsu stood up and began to clear the dust from the stands.
While the dust was being cleared, medical personnel also appeared in the Arena and took Mieko away.
Once the dust settled, Inoichi Yamanaka announced.
“The winner of the second semi-final is Suzuki Kazemasa!”
The crowd cheered slightly. The cheers were weak for several reasons this time.
Firstly, the audience was still very annoyed by the dust storm they had just experienced, and most people had bet on Mieko.
Feng Zheng left the Arena and walked into the waiting room. When he entered, Sakai Yumi looked at him with a complex expression. She thought to herself.
“His opponent was so strong, yet he won so easily! Even I would probably lose to that Uchiha girl. Even fighting Rintaro and Shinichi would be a big challenge for me.”
“But, not only did he win all three matches, he also wasn't injured, and he still had enough Chakra to fight me at full strength.”
She sighed, realizing that the finals were hopeless.
Unlike the other Genin fighting there, Sakai Yumi was trained to be a capable team leader.
Although she still had her honor and pride, compared to her peers, she was able to calmly analyze situations and draw correct conclusions.
Like Sakai Yumi, experienced Ninja in the crowd also noticed Feng Zheng.
Hiruzen laughed.
“Very good. Renjiro was not wrong. And he hasn't even used his sword or Senju Taijutsu in battle.”
“Ignoring these two skills and Chakra reserves, he is not much stronger than Mieko. But the results of the tactics he devised are very significant. If he becomes an Elite Jonin, Konoha will gain another capable Ninja.”
The judges were also impressed. Genma commented.
“Despite the destruction, Feng Zheng still won easily. He knows when to retreat and when to attack. His use of clones is also excellent.”
Raidō nodded and said.
“In all three matches, Feng Zheng completely outmaneuvered his opponents tactically. Mieko is strong, but she is lacking in this aspect.”
Ibiki added.
“Yes. However, many of the things Mieko said were likely just to make herself feel better. After all, for someone with Sharingan, one look is enough to decide the outcome.”
“Unfortunately, Feng Zheng has excellent self-control and doesn't react to any taunts, nor does he let his guard down even after winning. So despite her Lightning Blast Rain Barrage, she never had a chance to suppress Feng Zheng.”
The judges continued to discuss the match further.
The finals would be held in half an hour. So some spectators began to pack up and squeeze into the public restrooms.
The break was originally an opportunity for vendors to sell goods or food. Unfortunately, these items were now covered in dust. So many goods and food were soiled.
Only packaged items or items in sealed containers were safe. So Mieko and Feng Zheng were secretly cursed by all the vendors!
During the break, several Ninja used Earth Release Ninjutsu to repair the ground.
Allowing Genin to fight in a completely destroyed Arena would damage Konoha's image. More importantly, considering Feng Zheng's Great Breakthrough Technique, they expected him to blow soil directly into the stands.
Half an hour later, Feng Zheng and Sakai Yumi were called to the Arena.
