Because Shiki doesn't need to make hand seals.
Ali never expected this.
In a very short period of time, he was hit by two moon blades and was seriously injured.
Shiki stepped forward.
Aoi had already lost his fighting power, so there was no need to keep pressing him.
"Well done."
Shiki's mood was better than ever.
With Shiki around, there was no need to worry about achieving great things.
The Hokage seat changes hands, and this time, it's my turn.
Shiki bent down and picked up the Thunder God Sword.
"Give it back…give it back to me!"
Aoi subconsciously reached out to grab it.
Shiki twisted the hilt of the sword, and the thunder god's sword severed Aoi's right hand.
The wrist fell to the ground, followed by his screams.
Shiki glanced at the calm Shiki and couldn't help but feel more satisfied.
This guy was born to be a ninja.
He still remembered the first time he killed someone, feeling nauseous and sick.
Shiki waved his hand.
A large number of parasites swarmed over Aoi.
He knew too much.
This child couldn't be left alive.
Because a ninja's corpse could speak.
"Nice sword."
Shiki couldn't help but remark as he looked at the Thunder God's Sword, which wasn't stained with any blood.
The only pity was that Aoi wasn't strong enough.
The sealed book wasn't stolen.
---
When he regained his senses, Aoi had turned into a skeleton.
The power of parasites was evident.
At least it was quite convenient for destroying bodies.
Shiki didn't react much.
Because in his previous life, he enjoyed watching gore films.
Although reality was more vivid and uncensored, it wasn't enough to make him foam at the mouth.
Shiki suddenly thought of Ino.
Making a corpse speak wasn't easy.
The one in charge of this in Konoha was Ino's father, who led Konoha's Analysis Team. He could control minds, explore others' thoughts, and retrieve information.
A bit like Professor X, but much weaker.
Deepening his relationship with Ino would be quite beneficial.
There's a saying: Naruto isn't just about fighting—it's about human connections and understanding the world.
"Shiki."
Shiki asked slightly, "Ibiki and I are going to report to Hokage-sama. What should we say about the Thunder God's Sword?"
According to their plan, they could easily create the illusion that Aoi had escaped successfully.
However, there was some risk involved.
But now, Shiki saw Shiki as a true adult and valued his opinion.
"It's simple."
Shiki smiled faintly and said, "I liked this sword, and my teacher gave it to me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had always wanted Tsunade to stay in Konoha.
When she took him as his disciple, she told him she admired his hard work.
Now is the time to show the results.
The Sword of Thunder God is a ninja tool of Tobirama Senju. Giving it to a student would show how close their relationship had grown.
No one understood Sarutobi Hiruzen better than him.
By the time of the final exam, if he wrote a few full-mark essays on the Will of Fire, he would live quite comfortably in Konoha Village.
Shiki was momentarily stunned but then smiled in satisfaction.
Judging by the situation, Shiki had already gained Tsunade's trust and affection.
This was undoubtedly a great achievement.
"Dad."
Shiki sheathed the Thunder God Sword and asked, "Anything else for me?"
"No."
"Go ahead and enjoy yourself."
Shiki thought for a moment and made his way to the Chunin Exam arena.
Because Aoi had been dealt with so quickly, in less than an hour, the climax of the Chunin Exam had begun.
The stands were bustling with activity.
Shiki glanced at the two Genin fighting in the arena.
Well, he don't recognize them.
He looked around and soon spotted Hinata.
She sat with Ino but looked distracted.
Hinata seemed to be lost in thought.
Most likely because of Neji.
Neji was sitting not far away.
Neji, the only member of the Konoha's 12 to die.
In the early days, he hated the main family and the concept of fate due to his father Hizashi's death.
After the Chunin Exam, he underwent a significant change. He accepted his circumstances and became independent.
The main reasons were Naruto's words and the suicide note left by Hizashi.
In the end, he died protecting Hinata.
How to describe it?
It was rather sudden.
His character development was exciting in the beginning but felt rushed at the end.
On stage and off, there was no escaping fate.
Shiki pondered as he walked towards Hinata.
"Shiki-kun!"
Ino was the first to notice him, a look of surprise lighting up her face.
"Sh-Shiki-kun."
Hinata was startled.
She turned her head, and since Shiki was standing so close, her face ended up pressing against his arm.
The sudden contact left Hinata stunned.
When she realized what had happened, her face turned red instantly.
It was all Shiki-kun's presence.
Hinata felt dizzy.
Shiki instinctively held her face.
It was soft but piping hot.
The warmth spreading from her face completely relaxed Hinata.
She closed her eyes and collapsed into his arms.
"..."
Shiki and Ino exchanged glances, both struggling to keep straight faces.
"If I told you I didn't do anything, would you believe me?"
Fortunately, she wasn't a police officer.
But in truth, Ino was envious.
She also wanted to lean on Shiki-kun.
"Hinata?"
Shiki called her name twice.
Hinata finally woke up.
Her face was red as a freshly steamed bun, her gaze avoiding Shiki as she fiddled with her fingers.
"I brought some snacks."
Shiki coughed lightly, trying to shift the focus.
He pulled out some takoyaki he'd bought earlier.
"Shiki, thanks!"
Choji instantly perked up.
Shiki smiled.
As expected, when it came to food, the Akimichi clan was unbeatable.
I wonder when Ichiraku Ramen will hold an eating competition.
That might just give him the edge he needed to shock even Hinata.
"Shiki-kun, sit here."
Ino moved one seat to the left.
Choji and Kiba also shifted, clearing a space beside Hinata.
"Thanks."
