While Aoba was calming Sakura and Hinata.
Ino and Tenten were already standing inside the white circle.
"Ino, you can't beat me," The confident smile on Tenten's face made Ino very displeased.
"Can't beat you? I don't understand, I'll knock you down in a bit," As she spoke, Ino even made a sleeve-rolling motion.
"Both sides, form the seal of confrontation!", To stop the two from continuing to argue, Iruka spoke out to interrupt them.
Both of them, full of fighting spirit, formed the seal.
"Begin the match!", After announcing the start, Iruka quickly withdrew from the circle.
Ino directly charged toward Tenten.
Because she knew Tenten specialized in long-range throwing, and in terms of close-combat taijutsu, Tenten's level was actually about the same as hers.
But Tenten's speed at throwing kunai was astonishingly fast.
Ino had just taken two steps forward.
When she heard two "whoosh! whoosh!" sounds.
Two kunai were thrown by Tenten.
One left, one right, attacking Ino.
Just starting out, Ino was forced to stop.
She also took out two kunai, clang! clang!, blocking Tenten's kunai.
Tenten, seeing this, showed no surprise on her face, and flung out two more kunai, "Hmph, this kind of move is useless against me."
Ino once again swung her kunai, directly knocking the flying ones away, "This is just an appetizer."
Upon hearing this, Tenten's lips curled into a smirk.
She put both hands fully into her ninja tool pouch.
"It's not over yet!"
When her hands came out of the pouch, both hands were already gripping over a dozen kunai and shuriken.
All fear comes from insufficient firepower.
Seeing this, Ino couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, 'Why did this girl bring so many wooden ninja tools?'
The actual combat wooden tools were provided by the school, and each person was usually given just a few, yet Tenten directly pulled out over ten.
With so many, she simply couldn't block them, it would break her.
Ino immediately turned to Iruka and voiced her complaint, "Teacher, I report her for cheating, she brought so many ninja tools!"
Tenten also looked toward Iruka.
"This…", Iruka was also a bit troubled. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of situation. Who would prepare so many wooden kunai and shuriken?
But he hadn't said they couldn't do this earlier. After all, Tenten was indeed using regulation wooden kunai and shuriken.
"Tenten is using all wooden kunai and shuriken, which complies with the battle rules."
"Ino, admit defeat, you can't win!", Upon hearing this, Tenten showed a smug expression, and Ino had already puffed her cheeks, looking unhappily at Tenten.
"Hmph, even so, I still won't admit defeat!"
"Then you better be careful," Tenten had already started throwing the kunai and shuriken in her hands toward Ino.
Ino could still block one or two, but with so many at once, she could only dodge and block at the same time.
She couldn't even use substitution techniques, because she simply had no chance to form seals.
And occasionally she would still get hit once or twice, it hurt.
After a while.
Tenten threw for quite a bit before finally stopping.
The wooden tools she had prepared were already all thrown.
Ino, who was still dodging and defending, froze.
She immediately noticed this situation.
She was instantly overjoyed, "Haha, Tenten, you've used up all your ninja tools, right?"
Tenten looked disdainful, "So what?"
"Hmph, now it's my turn."
Ino gripped her kunai and was about to charge at Tenten again.
But Tenten once again raised her hands, ten fingers spread.
On several fingers of both her hands, thin, nearly transparent threads were tied.
She suddenly flicked her hands.
The kunai and shuriken that had fallen on the ground all bounced into the air.
A burst of clanging sounds rang out.
Ino's movements and smile on her face froze simultaneously.
'What is going on?'
She instinctively scanned around and saw that a large number of kunai and shuriken had already surrounded her.
Sasuke, who was watching the fight, widened his eyes in shock.
'This is… her version of my Manipulated Tools Technique?'
He didn't expect that Tenten, without a Sharingan, could use it this proficiently.
Sakura and Hinata were also very surprised.
Aoba, however, was much calmer.
Although this was also his first time seeing Tenten use this.
But he knew that in the original Chūnin Exams, Tenten had used it before, and even a pro max version of it.
She had controlled over a hundred various ninja tools at once, though unfortunately, they were all blown away by Temari's Wind Release.
Ino, looking at the large number of tools surrounding her, instinctively gulped.
'No way to dodge!'
Next, she felt pain coming from her body. So much that her tears almost came out.
A large number of kunai and shuriken had hit her body.
Although they were wooden kunai, getting hit still hurt.
Fortunately, they were wooden, or Ino would have become a pincushion.
"Damn it!", Ino endured the pain and tears and rushed toward Tenten.
Planning to take the opponent down with her.
Not far away, seeing this, Tenten had a playful expression and suddenly tugged both hands.
Controlling the threads connected to her fingers, they twisted and instantly bound Ino into a bundle.
Ino, who had been charging forward, immediately fell face-down onto the ground. Her body squirmed and rolled like a caterpillar.
She wanted to escape, but couldn't break free no matter what.
"Let me go!"
Seeing Ino struggling hard, Tenten laughed happily.
She walked to Ino's side, squatted down, and poked her cheek with a finger.
But fortunately, she pulled her hand back quickly, or she would've gotten bitten by Ino.
"Ino, weren't you going to knock me down? Why are you the one lying down now?"
"Damn you, Tenten, all you do is cheat!"
Ino was very unwilling. She had only a few kunai, while the other had dozens. This wasn't fair.
"Hmph, just an Ino. Nothing special," Tenten stood up, hands on hips, her smug mood overflowing.
"And I always bring this many tools, it's not like you didn't know."
"Who knew you'd bring this many wooden ones too," Ino said bitterly.
"Because I knew we can't use iron ones in practical class, I've been bringing wooden ones lately. Any problem with that?", Tenten said innocently.
"You…", Ino turned her head away, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
Seeing Ino back down, Tenten smiled even more happily.
Iruka finally walked over to the two, belatedly, "Tenten, help untie Ino first."
'Truly the younger generation surpasses the old,' He, the teacher, had just been dazzled watching the whole thing.
"Okay, Iruka-sensei!", Tenten, full of pride, removed the threads binding Ino.
Ino had a completely sour face.
"Battle's over. The winner… Tenten!"
"Both of you, form the seal of reconciliation."
