Chapter 388 - Summon Tag

After demonstrating the Lightning Tag, Orochimaru immediately took out another earth-yellow scroll.

Orochimaru didn't immediately use it; instead, he gave a brief introduction: "Earth-Rise Tag, capable of erecting a solid Earth Wall."

After the introduction, Orochimaru activated the Tag's power. A thick Earth Wall was swiftly erected from the ground.

"Isn't this just Earth Style Wall?" An Iwa Genin said.

"If you can summon an Earth Style Wall without consuming Chakra and without having to use hand seals in a battle, it's not a bad technique," another Iwagakure Genin argued.

While Earth Style Wall is generally used for defense, it had other applications, such as blocking the opponent's escape route.

Orochimaru ignored the discussion among the participants and presented a blue scroll.

"Water Prison Tag, capable of summoning a round water prison to trap your opponent."

After the explanation, Orochimaru activated the Tag, and a big spherical water prison appeared in front of Orochimaru.

This time, there was no discussion. Everyone was focused on Orochimaru.

Having introduced three types of Tags, the next one could only be the Medical Tag.

At first, everyone had their doubts, thinking this Medical Tag's effectiveness might be mediocre and the name was likely meant to be a bluff. Otherwise, why would Konoha provide it for them in this Chunin Exam?

But according to the previous three Tags, it was safe to say that the Tags' power was not to be underestimated.

The power of the Lightning Tag was no less powerful than that of the Explosive Tag. The Earth-Rise Tag was quite useful, too, considering you didn't have to use hand seals to use it.

Based on this, the Medical Tags should not be too shabby.

Orochimaru didn't care what the participants think. Like before, he didn't waste any time because this was the last Tag.

If this wasn't Nagasawa's request, he wouldn't have come to do such a boring thing.

Orochimaru took out a light green Tag and said, "Medical Tag, which can treat injuries, and the effect is about half of that of Medic-nin's Mystical Palm Technique."

Orochimaru then took out a kunai from his pouch and calmly stabbed his arm with the Kunai, and some of his blood was dripping as a result. Tsunade didn't like what she saw, but because he knew that many people were watching, she forced herself to remain calm.

Orochimaru covered the wound with the Tag and used it.

Green light was exuded from the Tag, and the wound quickly began to heal, leaving only a faint scar in the end.

"Wha... It actually treats the injuries." All the participants stared at Orochimaru's arm in shock.

They were certain that Orochimaru did not perform Medical Ninjutsu just now. He simply covered the wound with the Medical Tag, and then channeled a little bit of his Chakra to complete the treatment.

When people mentioned Tag, the first thing that came to a Shinobi's mind would be Explosive Tag, because this was the most used type of Tag.

But in fact, there are many types of Tags. The basic mechanism for Tags was Sealing Technique, so as long as you were proficient in Sealing Technique, you could create various types of Tag.

There are definitely other people who have thought about such things as Medical Tags. Having this was equivalent to bringing a Medical-nin with you. It was really convenient, and it could definitely effectively reduce Shinobi's death rate.

But they all failed, and no one would waste time, energy, and money to study this.

Of course, there may also be people who hadn't given up hope and were secretly researching.

Therefore, even Konoha Shinobi were shocked by the effect of the Medical Tag. When did their village become so amazing? Why did they not know? They were very confused.

The other villages were even more shocked when they realized that Konoha Shinobi were as clueless as them.

"You haven't seen it before?" Someone asked curiously.

"No." Konoha Shinobi shook his head, indicating that it was the first time he had seen this thing.

"How many Medical Tag reserve do you have in Konoha?" The Daimyo immediately asked the Anbu beside him when he saw Orochimaru's wound immediately healed the moment he applied the Medical Tag.

The Anbu was speechless. How could he know such a confidential matter?

Although he felt that Daimyo was not very smart, the Anbu answered patiently:

"Medical Tags are Konoha's secrets. I don't know much about it, but Assistant Nagasawa did say that Medical Tags are purchasable, and there should be some reserves. You can ask Hokage or Assistant Nagasawa after the end of the Chunin Exam if you want to buy the Medical Tag."

Hearing that Anbu said it was a secret, the Daimyo was a little angry. Did he give Konoha so much money every year for naught? But when he heard that the Medical Tag is purchasable, the Daimyo's frown disappeared.

After all, he has never been short of money.

Compared with a little money, the Medical Tag that could save lives was more important for the Daimyo.

Although the Daimyo had Chunin-level Medical-nin serving him, the Medical Tag was more convenient.

The merchants next to him were also baffled and asked if they could buy Medical Tag.

Like the bigwigs, the nobles were also coveting the Medical Tag. They cherished their lives, and they don't have much else, just a lot of money.

The money to improve people's livelihood can be saved a little, but the money to save lives must be spent heavily.

Not only the nobles, everyone in the venue was also mesmerized by the amazing effect of the Medical Tag.

"So this is Konoha's Medical Tag… It's truly amazing. If this is on the battlefield, and they each carry a few, it doesn't mean that each person has a Medical-nin? That's insane!" The discussion about Medical Tag immediately became a wildfire.

The current Konoha was already strong, and if they had this amazing Medical Tag, wouldn't Konoha become stronger?

"No, such a strong spell should be difficult to make. Otherwise, why haven't other villages invented it for so long?" Some people think that even though the Medical Tag was effective, it should be hard to make.

"If it's hard to make, why would Konoha randomly place it in this Chunin Exam?" A Sunagakure Genin immediately threw a critical analysis.

Everyone was silent.

Indeed, if it was hard to make and very valuable, why would they place it here for Chunin Exam participants to use freely.

Compared with the fear and jealousy of Shinobi from other villages, Konoha Shinobi were excited and happy.

"Instead of buying the Explosive Tag, I think I should buy the Medical Tag. Depends on the situation, it may be life-saving." A Konoha Shinobi with a scar on his face said.

"Yeah, it's okay if it's less fun. I must buy this Medical Tag. If I die, I can't go have fun." A Konoha Shinobi sighed.

The surrounding Konoha Shinobi all agreed.

"Assistant Nagasawa, are the Medical Tags for sale?" Onoki immediately asked Nagasawa after seeing the amazing effect of the Medical Tags.

"Be it is the manufacturing method, or the Medical Tag itself, Iwagakure is very interested."

Although he didn't think Nagasawa would sell the production method, Onoki still tried his luck.

After all, he had nothing to lose from asking anyway. If Nagasawa did sell the production method, then he would make a lot of money.

"I'm sorry, those four Tags are Konoha's secret. I'm not going to sell the production method, but the Tag itself is discussable after the Chunin Exam." Nagasawa replied with a smile. .

"Well, that's fine." Onoki said with a smile even though he secretly complained in his heart. Konoha Shinobi are indeed cunning. Nagasawa earlier said before that those Tags were no big deal, but it has become Konoha's secret all of a sudden now.

Raikage was also shocked when he saw Orochimaru's arm.

If he had a Medical Tag, he would be able to use the Lightning Nintaijutsu without fear of injury.

But those Tags were made by Nagasawa, and the Fourth Raikage did not want to do anything with Nagasawa.

Encountering Nagasawa was a trauma for him. Because of Nagasawa, he was severely injured, and his right hand was cut off. Half of Kumogakure elite Shinobi he led were killed and half were captured. Even he and Killer B were captured. Kumogakure had to pay a huge price to bring him and Kumogakure Shinobi back.

The Fourth Raikage will never forget the scene of that day.

As a prisoner of d war, he was humiliated as he was dragged around Konoha with ragged clothes.

The Fourth Raikage regarded that as his lifelong shame, and it inspired him to develop Kumogakure to surpass Konoha, and then take revenge.

The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist, then let go, and asked in a deep voice, "Assistant Nagasawa, can you sell those Tags to Kumogakure as well? We're also very interested in them."

The Medical Tag was of great importance. If Konoha didn't sell it, it didn't matter, but if Konoha did sell it and Kumogakure didn't buy it, they would definitely be at a disadvantage against other Great Shinobi Countries in case a war emerged.

Therefore, even if he was embarrassed and reluctant, Raikage cast away his pride so that Kumogakure wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the upcoming war.

"Oh, but judging from your attitude, it's as if you want to snatch it more than you want to buy it." Nagasawa smiled and looked at the Fourth Raikage.

Raikage's face darkened all of a sudden. Of course, he knew what Nagasawa meant. He did not seem sincere and his expression seemed stern.

"Ahem." Raikage took a deep breath and forced a smile with that serious and vicious face and repeated:

"Assistant Nagasawa, can you sell those Tags to Kumogakure as well? We're also very interested in them."

"Is that so? If we're talking about cooperation, of course we have to laugh together, right? I would've mistaken that you're preparing a robbery plan considering the look on his face." Nagasawa nodded with satisfaction.

To make the arrogant Raikage bow his head and smile… There was only a few people who could do this, right?

Defeating him didn't necessarily make him bow his head. It could only be done by involving Kumogakure.

"About the Tags purchase..."

"Let's discuss it after the Chunin Exam is over." Seeing Raikage bowing his head, Nagasawa lost interest in teasing him, so he replied with the same answer he gave Onoki.

"Assistant Nagasawa, Sunagakure is also..." Seeing that The Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage had shown their intention to buy Nagasawa's Tags, Rasa, who was still hesitating, also spoke up.

"After Chunin Exam." Nagasawa's reply remained unchanged.

"Thank you." Seeing that Nagasawa didn't embarrass him, Rasa breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his face became sad again.

He didn't ask before, not because he didn't want the Medical Tag.

How could Rasa not want the Medical Tag? If he could, he would love to equip each Sunagakure Shinobi with ten Medical Tags.

But Sunagakure was poor. The Daimyo cut their funding, and Sunagakure itself was not rich.

Rasa didn't have to think that hard to figure out that the Medical Tag was expensive.

He was afraid that he could not afford it, so he kept thinking about whether to buy it or not.

It was not that Sunagakure had no money at all, but that money was needed elsewhere.

Rasa thought for a while, and instructed Maki: "Inform the Daimyo about those Tags, and ask for some funding."

Although many foreign wealthy businessmen and noblees came to this Chunin Exam, only the Daimyo of the Land of Fire came among all Daimyo.

Rasa felt that the Land of Wind would definitely be interested in those Tags, especially the Medical Tag.

In this case, if he squeezed a bit money from other projects, he should be able to buy some.

Maki nodded and left the venue with a few leaps.

Rasa turned his eyes to the screen again, which still showed Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took out something again, but this time it was not a Tag, but a piece of iron similar to a Tag paper.

The candidates all looked at Orochimaru with puzzled eyes. Didn't the introduction of the four Tags have been completed? Why didn't he signal them to start? Instead, they took out a rather mysterious looking piece of iron.

"In addition to the four Tags, there is actually another special Tag, which is called the Summon Steel Tag.

Unlike ordinary Tag, you can't find Summon Steel Tag randomly. They will only be dropped from the air on the second day of this stage, and only one will be released a day. The Summon Steel Tag is so powerful that ordinary Tags seem like toys. "

After speaking, Orochimaru picked up the Summon Steel Tag. He gestured the participants to back away and then activated the Summon Steel Tag! A ten-meter-high flame slash suddenly appeared and was directed into the open space.

Boom boom boom! ! !

A huge explosion sounded, and thick smoke was stirred up.

Orochimaru used a Wind Release to blow away the dust and smoke, and a slashing mark more than ten meters deep entered everyone's eyes. It appeared on the four large screens in the venue. The ravine left by the slash was not only more than ten meters deep, but also spreading. The land within the range was also scorched black by the flames.

"This thing is a Tag?" A Shinobi said.
