Naruto: The Wind Calamity Chapter 98: Pay to Win Ninja!

Mieko immediately activated her Sharingan and threw a few shurikens. However, at the same time, Kohaku threw a kunai with an explosion tag. Both Mieko and Kohaku moved backwards rapidly.

Mieko frowned. She immediately ran around the smoke and ran towards her opponent.

Having created distance, Kohaku immediately made a few hand signs. ‘Hidden Mist jutsu’

As Mieko moved forward, she noticed the Mist thickening. She immediately made a few hand signs. ‘Fireball jutsu’

A fireball headed towards Kohaku, but she used Water Wall jutsu to block it. The fire ended up evaporating a lot of the water, making the mist even denser. Soon, Kohaku disappeared from her sight.

Mieko frowned again. Her Sharingan couldn’t see through the mist at all. She moved away from the area where the mist was the thickest while thinking, ‘Tch, I could really use a combination attack here.’

The mist covered half of the ground, including the woods, while Mieko stayed away and thought about her next move.

The judges were impressed by this move. Genma remarked, “Impressive. She made all preparations needed to deal with the Sharingan. Mieko will have a tough time fighting in the mist.”

The mist continued expanding. Mieko took out a scroll from her waist bag. She opened it and made a hand sign. Dozens of kunai with exploding tags attached began appearing from the scroll. She grabbed each and threw them all in the area where the mist was.

Over a hundred exploding tags exploded inside the mist leaving everyone dumbfounded.

The two Mist jounin were shocked, ‘So wasteful!! Give us those if you are wasting a hundred on merely a chunin exam!’

Fujin was stunned, ‘Did she just use up over 75,000 Ryo? Spoilt brat!’

Mieko’s parents got weird looks as well, but they ignored it.

The explosions dispersed the mist. While it did create another smokescreen, Mieko’s Sharingan could see in it.

Kido Kohaku couldn’t see Mieko throwing the Explosion tags. She was dumbfounded when one explosion after another began happening inside the mist. Two tags exploded close to her. One of them caused a few burns to her left forearm as she wasn’t fast enough to get away. The explosions also left her ears ringing.

Mieko immediately moved through the smoke towards her opponent. Kohaku still hadn’t recovered from the shock or the pain.

On reaching her, she quickly made a few hand signs and used Fireball jutsu from around 20 meters in front of her.

Kohaku couldn’t see or hear Mieko, but she felt something coming at her. She immediately made a few hand signs. While making the hand signs, she finally saw the Fireball moving rapidly towards her.

As soon as the water wall began forming, she moved backwards. The Firewall hit the water wall and exploded. The thin film of water wasn’t enough to block the explosion. While moving backward she heard something and looked to her right. A few shurikens were flying at her.

After using Fireball jutsu, Mieko flickered to Kohaku’s right side. The only way to dodge the shurikens was to jump, and Kohaku jumped intending to get on the branch of the tree behind her.

Due to her jump, she barely managed to dodge the shuriken. However, she saw Mieko suddenly clenching her fist and pulling it back. Her eyes widened.

Some of the shurikens were tied to metal wire. When Mieko pulled her hand back, those shurikens were pulled back. Two wires wrapped around Kohaku’s left leg, stopping her jump and making her fall down suddenly.

Kohaku was about to fall on her face. She raised her hands in front of her by reflex, to soften the impact of the fall. However, at the last moment, Mieko pulled the wire towards herself. Due to this, Kohaku fell on both her hands and face and was dragged for a meter on the ground.

It took her a couple of seconds to get up. Unfortunately, that was enough time for Mieko to step on her back and hold a kunai against her throat. She said, “You have lost. Give up.”

Kohaku unwillingly said, “I surrender.”

Inoichi announced, “The Fourth match winner is Uchiha Mieko.”

The spectators cheered loudly. Mieko smirked and left. The Kiri jounins frowned. They had lost all 3 fights against Konoha genins. The only winner they had from Kiri was Yumi, who fought against another Kiri genin.

One of the jounin assured the other, “Don’t worry. Rentaro and Yumi should win the next matches. Then the Uchiha girl will have to fight them both to win the tournament.” The other jounin nodded.

Ibiki sighed, “I thought we would get to see the hidden mist assassination technique today.”

Genma chuckled, “At least she won.”

Raido nodded, “All of Renjiro’s students are strong. The chunin exam just seems to be a formality for them.”

Genma noted, “That Kiri kunoichi is good too. She came up with a good tactic to implement against the Sharingan.”

Ibiki rebuked him, “Unfortunately, she had no response to her counter. While the counter was overwhelming, such incidents often happen during missions. If she gets overwhelmed, then both she and her team will be dead.”

Neither Raido nor Genma countered him.

In the waiting room, Hoka said, “She is as overbearing as usual.” Fujin nodded, “The ground is a mess. Should be helpful for your Earth jutsus though.” Hoka grinned and nodded.

Rentaro looked at Fujin and got up. Fujin too stood up. Hoka seriously said, “Be careful, he looks strong.” Fujin smirked and replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll win just as always.”

While Fujin said it softly, it was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the waiting room. Rentaro immediately lost his cool. He yelled, “Bastard, I’ll beat you up!”

Fujin just smirked and ignored him thinking, ‘Kids, so easy to rile up.’ He jumped down to the ground. Rentaro followed him.

Seeing them heading to the ground, Genma commented, “This should be interesting. Among the nine genins, their chakra reserves are the highest.”

Raido nodded, “After hearing Tsume’s praises for him, I wonder how strong he is.”

After taking their positions, Inoichi announced, “The last quarterfinal starts now, BEGIN!”
