Chapter 41
Anyway, when the patience of the candidates was about to run out, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally finished his speech, and then Gekko Hayate announced the rules of the competition.
The rules are very simple. The draw will start for the 1V1 elimination match. Before that, if anyone does not want to participate, they can declare their withdrawal in advance.
Moreover, in the next battle, I hope everyone can stop at a certain point and not kill each other, otherwise Konoha's jonin will forcibly intervene in the fight between the two sides.
Listening to these rules, several people looked bitter, especially those who knew a little about the strength of Naruto and Sasuke. Thinking that they are very likely to draw one of them, they are worried about how to fight. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
However, there were also some who were excited, among them was Gaara, who stared at Uzumaki Naruto with murderous intent and said viciously:"Uzumaki Naruto, I hope you don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will tear you into pieces!"
Facing Gaara's provocation, Naruto didn't care:"I think you lack the beatings of society."
And Rock Lee, he really wanted to match Sasuke and truly experience Sasuke's strength, because the simple fight in the school hall before could not test Sasuke's depth at all. He was eager to prove himself and prove that hard-working geniuses are stronger than talented geniuses.
After a short wait, no one applied to withdraw, so Moonlight Gale raised his hand to signal, and on the wide wall behind him, the upper left mechanism slid, revealing a large electronic screen
"Ahem... the next match list will be announced in real time on this electronic display, so let's take a look at the players for the first match!"
As the names on the electronic display jumped rapidly, three seconds later, two names appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, Naruto and Sasuke were slightly surprised and looked at each other. In addition to Naruto and Sasuke, there were many other people who were shocked. Among them, Kakashi was the most speechless.
Because the two names on the display were Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing on a high platform not far away, showed displeasure on his face, and whispered to the shadow guard beside him:"What's going on?"
Because the Third Hokage had privately explained that he was very optimistic about the strength of Naruto and Sasuke. If they appeared at the final competition, it would be a good thing for the Daimyo and other ninja villages to see the strength of their new generation. It would also show the strength of Konoha.
Therefore, he also asked people to do a little trick to avoid Naruto and Sasuke from meeting in this round of tests. He didn't care about other people, but Naruto and Sasuke must not fight at this time. The shadow guard beside him didn't know what was going on. He hesitated and couldn't say anything. He could only use the excuse that the machine had not been replaced for a long time, so there was a little malfunction..
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened. Besides, the matter was already done in public. He absolutely could not lose the prestige and reputation of Konoha at this moment. Helplessly, he could only remain silent.
The moment Naruto saw his and Sasuke's names, he felt that something was wrong. He wondered if there was a deviation from the plot of the original work, which led to him having to fight with Sasuke here, or was there another reason?
So, Naruto subconsciously glanced around, and suddenly found a male ninja wearing a Konoha ninja uniform, with an evil look between his eyebrows.
Naruto's gaze did not linger on that man, but that did not prevent him from grasping the details.
"If I saw it right, that person's pupils seemed to be a little bit vertical, right? Damn, I remember, in the original work, Orochimaru disguised himself as an ordinary Konoha ninja and watched Sasuke being beaten here. It seems that he also secretly met Kakashi afterwards. Could it be that he was the one who rigged the match between Sasuke and I?"While Naruto was thinking secretly, he was a little worried about how much strength he should show to fight Sasuke next.
The fact was just as Naruto expected. It was indeed Orochimaru who tampered with the monitor in private. He just wanted to see how strong the yellow-haired kid who was foul-mouthed when he fought Sasuke was.
"cough cough……"Moonlight Gale shouted again with a weak face,"Please move to the spectator stand to make room for Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke."
Kakashi said to them with a bitter look,"You two can handle it. Anyway, stop when it's enough."
Teammate Sakura also stepped forward to show concern,"Sasuke-kun, Naruto, I know you two are both very powerful, and I don't know how to comfort you. Anyway, I hope you two won't hurt the harmony."
"Don't worry, we have been training together for many years, how can our relationship be broken because of a small competition?"Naruto responded calmly.
As for Hinata, who knew the strength of Naruto and Sasuke the best, she also stepped forward and said:"Naruto-kun, do you and Sasuke really want to fight?……"
What Hinata wanted to ask was whether it would be too early to expose the strength of the two. After all, when the three of them were training together, Naruto often reminded them to hide their own trump cards and never show them unless it was absolutely necessary.
"It's okay, Sasuke and I know our limits, don't worry, I want to see who Hinata-chan can fight with later."
At the urging of Moonlight Gale, everyone walked to the viewing platform with their own thoughts, waiting for the fight between Naruto and Sasuke.
"How much is that?"Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Naruto with a slightly puzzled look.
Naruto smiled carefreely:"Just warm up!"
After hearing this, Sasuke nodded slightly, and then his body suddenly disappeared from the spot in the next moment.
Similarly, Naruto's body also disappeared
"Bang——"
The two men threw straight punches at the same time, and the two fists collided, causing shocking aftermath.
""So fast!" This was the first reaction of everyone except Kakashi and Hinata.
Then, the two men who collided with their fists immediately changed their moves. Naruto used a violent high sweep kick, and Sasuke used a reverse high whip kick. The moves of the two were offset by each other, and with the help of the reaction force of the force, the two each threw punches faster than the naked eye could see.
The sound of fists and feet colliding continued, and countless moves of the two were resolved by the opponent with extremely sophisticated moves.
Even Might Guy, who was the number one in Konoha's physical skills, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Naruto and Sasuke's physical skills were really good, and they would definitely surpass him in time.
The two fought hand-to-hand for who knows how many moves, and suddenly, as if Naruto's reaction was half a beat slower, Sasuke seized the opportunity and kicked Naruto in the face. Naruto had no time to attack and immediately crossed his arms. The fork was guarding in front.
With the sound of a heavy collision, Naruto arched his body and left two five-meter marks on the ground.
At this point, the two finally pulled away from each other, but in a blink of an eye, Sasuke took advantage of the situation and pursued him. He swept a shadow with his hands, but in an instant, his cheeks bulged, and he blew hard at Naruto.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!
Looking at Naruto again, his reaction was even faster. There were also afterimages in his hands, and then his hands were spread forward.
Wind Style: Wind Wall!
A huge invisible and transparent wind barrier instantly formed in front of him.
Sasuke's Great Fireball, which was as powerful as A-level Fire Style, could not advance an inch under Naruto's wind wall. At the moment when Sasuke cut off the Great Fireball, Naruto's wind wall directly extinguished Sasuke's Fire Style.
After all, Fire Style is jokingly called the Technique of Mercy by netizens, and it is unlikely to work. It is almost impossible. At most, he can kill some shadow clones.
Regarding this, Naruto often joked with Sasuke about this in private. Sasuke thought that Naruto was too powerful, so his Fire Style could not hit or hurt him at all.
After all, with his current strength, if he used Fire Style against those ordinary Genin who suddenly attacked, those people would definitely die.
But if Fire Style doesn't work, then he would use Lightning Style.
In a flash, Sasuke quickly made a hand seal and pressed it towards the ground.
Lightning Style: Earth Walk!
In an instant, endless electric current poured from Sasuke's palm to the ground, and then surged towards Naruto along the ground.
Naruto on this side reacted the moment he saw Sasuke making a seal, and also made seals with both hands.
Wind Style: Wind Cut!
With a wave of Naruto's hand, an invisible wind blade was slashed out by Naruto with his arm. Go.
Swoosh--Crack!
The wind blade swung out by Naruto cut a half-foot deep and five-meter long gully on the ground two meters in front of him.
At the same time, the wind blade unexpectedly changed its form in the next moment, forming an invisible wind wall again.
All the electric currents from Sasuke's Lightning Release: Earth Run hit the wind wall.
In addition, the five elements restrain each other, and Wind Run is already quite restraining Lightning Release.
In just half a breath, all the electric currents were directly dissolved by the wind wall.
Seeing this scene, Sasuke's face did not show any expression.
Just at the moment when he finished the Earth Run, he began to perform the next ninjutsu.
Suddenly, a shrill cry echoed in everyone's ears.
The dazzling blue light came from Sasuke's left hand and caught the eyes of everyone present.
Seeing this scene, Kakashi couldn't help but sigh that Sasuke's Chidori was definitely more powerful than his Raikiri.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Sasuke perform Chidori, in addition to being slightly amazed at Sasuke's rapid improvement in strength, he subconsciously frowned.
Because, in his impression, Naruto has not learned any A-level or above offensive and defensive ninjutsu.
Now that he is about to face Sasuke's Chidori, which is equivalent to the power of S-level ninjutsu, what should Naruto do? So the third generation directly signaled the shadow guard beside him to stop the two people's fight at the first time to prevent Naruto from being seriously injured.
After all, Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Once seriously injured, it is very likely to stimulate the Nine-Tails in his body to run wild, and who knows what kind of chaos will happen.
The camera returns, but Sasuke is already holding the exploding Chidori and killing Naruto, and several jonins have also seen the change in Sasuke's eyes. The previous black pupils have turned into scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.
Wow!
The speed is so fast that it is hard to describe! The Konoha jonin on the stage wanted to stop Sasuke's attack but it was too late.
As the dazzling blue electric light passed through the battle site below, everyone finally saw the final aftermath.
Sasuke's left hand, which was full of lightning, had completely penetrated Naruto's body.
Seeing this, except for a few people, everyone else was shocked.
"How much is that?……"Many Konoha warriors were shocked by Sasuke's cruelty and ruthlessness.
However, before they could raise questions, the next moment, Naruto, whose body was pierced by Sasuke, suddenly began to shake violently.
Sasuke glanced at it and used the instant body technique as he wished.
Naruto's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless wind blades that exploded from his body.
Seeing this, the people on the stage realized that it was a wind clone.
At the same time, they were also surprised at Naruto's reaction and speed. Even they could not detect when Naruto used the wind shadow clone.
Then, there was another sound of fists and feet hitting each other.
After a series of close combats, the two blurred figures in the field finally showed their figures completely, and stopped in the middle of the field, panting.
For a moment, except for Naruto and Sasuke, all the other spectators held their breath, wanting to see who would be better between the two people in the audience.
Especially after seeing the performance of Naruto and Sasuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more upset.
I am worried that these Anbu are really incompetent. After this knockout round is over, I will go back and deduct their wages.
