This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 350 The Lost Silence

"Konoha, Uzumaki Kana wins!"

As the chief examiner, Sakumo Hatake, announced the news, the entire room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Kana jumped up excitedly and waved to Kushina and Shizune in the stands.

"Yay! I won!"

After the cheers subsided, Kana looked at Nozomi, who was lying on the ground unable to get up, and a hint of pity flashed in her big eyes.

Although she fought fiercely just now, she is, after all, a kind-hearted child.

She jogged over and squatted down beside Xi, her hands emitting a soft green light.

"Are you alright? Did I hit you too hard? Let me heal you. Tsunade taught me medical ninjutsu."

He opened his eyes with great effort and looked at the girl who had just punched him and sent him flying, but was now healing him like a little angel. A complex sense of frustration welled up in his heart.

"No...no need."

hope waved his hand with a wry smile, refusing Kana's help.

He stretched out his still slightly trembling hands, which glowed with a green medical chakra light, and covered his injured chest and right leg.

"I also know medical ninjutsu."

"Huh? You can do that too?"

Kana looked at the green light in hope's hand with some surprise, then nodded in sudden understanding.

"No wonder you were so tough earlier, you're really amazing!"

Hearing these words, which were neither a compliment nor a sarcastic remark, hope helplessly closed her eyes and continued to silently heal herself.

Soon, medical staff arrived at the ring and carried hope off.

With the conclusion of the final playoff match, all sixteen qualifying spots have now been determined.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a brutal elimination process, we have finally selected eight elite genin from each of the major ninja villages!"

"To ensure they are in top condition for the upcoming match, and also to give all the guests a good rest."

"I hereby announce that the first round of the third official exam—the round of 16 to 8—will be held in three days!"

"The quarterfinals, semifinals, and final will be held consecutively in one week!"

"See you in three days!"

As Nishikawa Tetsu announced, thunderous cheers erupted once again inside the Konoha Dome, marking the successful conclusion of today's event.

The audience began to leave in an orderly manner, while the athletes' rest area was bustling with activity.

"Kushina-neechan! Tsunade-neechan!"

As soon as Kana stepped off the stage, she rushed towards the two people who were waiting at the entrance of the passage. She buried her face in Kushina's arms, her little face flushed with excitement.

"I won! I've advanced to the next round!" Kana proudly raised her chin, as if waiting for praise.

"Well done, Kana!" Kushina generously ruffled her signature twin tails, her eyes brimming with pride. "As expected of a child of our Uzumaki clan, that punch was truly powerful; you've completely learned my techniques!"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'your true teachings'? I taught Kana's taijutsu too!" Tsunade stood to the side with her arms crossed, her words full of disdain, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

She reached out and gently brushed Chanel's nose. "You little brat, you didn't embarrass me."

"Hehe." Kana scratched her head and smiled foolishly.

Just as the three of them were enjoying themselves, Kana suddenly realized something.

She turned her head and saw Shizune standing silently to the side.

Although a smile graced her face, a hint of undisguised disappointment lingered deep within her clear eyes.

In the previous match, Shizune encountered Rin Nohara.

Although she gave it her all, she was clearly inferior to Rin, who had been through the baptism of war, in terms of both combat experience and chakra control. In the end, she was defeated and failed to make it to the top eight.

"Shizune..." Kana's smile faded as she walked to Shizune's side and took her hand.

Kushina and Tsunade also noticed Shizune's emotions.

"Shizune." Tsunade stepped forward and, contrary to her usual behavior, patted Shizune's shoulder gently in an extremely mild tone.

"You don't need to feel disappointed. You've only been out of school for a short time. To be able to fight those genin who have been on the battlefield to that extent, your performance is already outstanding."

"The most important duty of a medical ninja is to heal the wounded on the battlefield, not to compete in the arena. This exam is just an opportunity for you to gain experience."

"Yes, Shizune." Kushina leaned in and hugged her tenderly. "You've done amazingly well. Rin has a wealth of practical experience, and you've managed to hold your own against her for so long. Even Minato praised your rapid progress!"

"Lady Tsunade... Sister Kushina..." Shizune listened to their comforting words, her eyes reddened, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.

She wasn't jealous of Kana; she just felt she had let down Tsunade and Kushina.

"Okay, okay, stop crying!"

Upon seeing this, Kana suddenly made an extremely exaggerated face, pulled at the corners of her eyes with both hands, stuck out her tongue, and made a strange "lè lè lè" sound.

"Look, Shizune, if I hadn't won, I'd be crying even more than you right now! I might be rolling around on the floor! Like this—"

As she spoke, Kana actually lay down on the ground and started rolling around on the corridor floor like a rogue, even mimicking the sound of a ton-ton, making two "plop plop" noises.

"Pfft—"

Seeing Kana's ridiculous and unladylike appearance, Shizune finally couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears.

"Kana, get up quickly, the ground is dirty!" Shizune quickly reached out to pull her up.

"I won't get up! Unless you laugh out loud!" Kana lay on the ground, refusing to get up.

"I've already laughed!"

Seeing the two little girls resume their usual noisy antics, Tsunade and Kushina exchanged a smile.

"Let's go! To celebrate Kana's advancement and to reward Shizune for her hard work, it's my treat today. Let's go eat barbecue!" Tsunade said generously.

"Yay! I want to eat snowflake beef!" Chanel jumped up from the ground instantly.

"Tsunade-neechan, are you treating? But you don't have all your money..." Shizune weakly reminded her.

"Ahem... Let's not talk about that today!" Tsunade blushed slightly and forcibly changed the subject. "Didn't that kid Nishikawa Tetsu just pay my research advisor salary? That's enough! Let's go!"

The corridor echoed with the joyful laughter of the crowd.
