Uchiha Sasuke vs Uzumaki Naruto
The fierce battle below has witnessed the terrifying combat ability of the genius ninja of Konoha.
Naruto, having trained under Jiraiya for years and with the additional special training, has already far surpassed the strength of an average chunin.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With a loud shout, Naruto instantly creates hundreds of clones, then begins a coordinated attack from all directions.
Sasuke, on the other hand, calmly draws the chakra metal sword given to him by his teacher from his waist.
Boom boom~
The splendid taijutsu duel has dazzled countless spectators.
Even the ninjas watching the battle show a serious expression. The physical combat between the two has exceeded the level of an average chunin.
Boom boom~
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu
After the appearance of the splendid Fire Style ninjutsu, the scene reaches a climax.
The two, in their back and forth battle, seem to be fated rivals, with neither willing to concede to the other.
…
"Wow, so many!"
"Sasuke!"
As the battle heated up, Tsunade and Terumi Mei on the spectator platform showed bored expressions.
But when the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki saw this scene, his eyes turned red with envy. He wished these were ninjas from his own village.
Although Rock Village had rapidly developed its military power in recent years, and had many jonin ninjas, none were suitable to succeed him.
This was his greatest frustration and pain.
"Heh, it seems Konoha really has many geniuses."
Out of jealousy, Ōnoki tried to sow discord, but Tsunade just laughed, "Of course, Sasuke has learned a lot of sword techniques from the Mist Village."
Terumi Mei chuckled, "I hope Rock can also host a Chunin Exam next time, so the entire ninja world can see the strength of the five great ninja villages."
These two women were more formidable with their words than the other.
Ōnoki was left speechless and internally, he was incredibly jealous. Why were all the geniuses in Konoha? He wished the Sage of the Six Paths would give even one genius to his Rock Village.
Among the Kages, Ōnoki hid his embarrassment well, but deep down, he felt awkward.
The Tsuchikage of Rock was an old man over sixty, while the other Kages were young and strong, or at least in their prime.
Damn it!
"Wow! Look, what jutsu is this?"
"That's Chidori! And Rasengan!"
As the battle intensified, Sasuke and Naruto, both panting heavily, unleashed their ultimate techniques.
Seeing them use such high-level jutsu, Kakashi, who was overseeing the third exam, also showed a grave expression.
"This is too reckless, even Genin are using A-rank jutsu now."
"Order the medical ninjas to be ready for emergency treatment."
"Yes!"
Under everyone's gaze, Sasuke, excited, charged forward with his Chidori crackling like lightning.
Meanwhile, Naruto, with fiery determination, yelled and held the Rasengan in one hand, choosing to clash head-on.
Boom~
First, there was a blinding light from the collision of the two A-rank jutsus, followed by a huge roaring sound.
Everyone held their breath, watching the duel intently. As the smoke cleared, Sasuke and Naruto lay on the ground, gasping for air, in a disheveled state.
"Save them!"
Kakashi calmly ordered, and instantly two ninjas appeared in the arena. Naruto was still struggling, trying to stand up.
However, the referee stepped in and announced loudly: "First match, Sasuke vs. Naruto, both have lost the ability to fight, it's a draw!"
As Naruto tried to protest that he could still fight, a medical ninja smiled, injected him with something, and suddenly Naruto couldn't make a sound.
"I'll have you recovered in half an hour."
The two Genin were carried out of the arena, but the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
This was not a Genin duel. The jutsu and taijutsu displayed had surpassed the normal Chunin level.
"Next match, please come to the stage!"
As the referee continued to call loudly, the audience was still savoring the excitement of the first match, and the second match's contestants had already taken the stage.
Everyone was excitedly watching, but the ninjas from enemy countries only showed solemn expressions. The depth of Konoha's strength was terrifying.
Hyuga Neji vs. Hozuki Suigetsu.
One is a veteran bloodline ninja from Konoha, and the other is from the Mist. This match-up is highly anticipated.
Countless people are excitedly cheering, looking forward to this battle not falling short of the previous one.
Meanwhile, on the Five Kage platform, Uchiha Yoru, seeing Sasuke and Naruto nearly tie, shakes his head and says, "A draw, what a coincidence."
"Heh, it seems Sasuke's talent is just average."
The Fourth Raikage, A, also scoffs, but he's actually trying to stir up trouble between Uchiha Yoru and Jiraiya.
"You claim to be the God of the Ninja, yet your student didn't win!"
For Uchiha Yoru, a draw is a defeat.
However, Uchiha Yoru responds with a hearty laugh, "Ha ha, having too many geniuses in the village is a headache."
Onoki from the Stone Village grinds his teeth in envy, thinking, "You're just showing off. My Stone Village will also have geniuses someday, for sure."
The mutual mockery among the Kage causes the surrounding guards to awkwardly keep their distance, to avoid overhearing things they shouldn't.
Meanwhile, the second match reaches a critical point.
Hozuki Suigetsu's Water Release talent is unquestionable, captivating the audience, while Hyuga Neji also displays his talent.
The two are well-matched, fighting intensely.
Hozuki Suigetsu isn't foolish. Against the Byakugan, using the Mist Technique is pointless.
But the assassination techniques of the Mist and their twin swords are ineffective under the all-encompassing perception of the Byakugan, leaving him no openings.
But Momochi Zabuza isn't one to be trifled with. Employing his own techniques, he uses water clones to launch assassination attacks, gradually draining the opponent's chakra, waiting for fatigue to set in before seizing his opportunity.
Boom~
"Ha ha, just give up, I've definitely won."
Seeing Hyuga Neji panting and disheveled, Hozuki Suigetsu reveals a foolish grin, clearly having the upper hand despite his own chakra depletion.
However, Momochi Zabuza feels awkward watching this, cursing under his breath, "Idiot."
On the battlefield.
Hyuga Neji, gasping for breath and looking at his opponent's arrogant demeanor, sneers, "Idiot."
"Who are you calling an idiot!"
Hozuki Suigetsu reflexively retorts, then suddenly his face stiffens.
His body freezes, unable to control his chakra, and he reveals a look of disbelief.
"How is this possible! You never touched my real body!"
Thud~
Hozuki Suigetsu falls to the ground, unable to control his rigid body, and water splashes everywhere. At that moment, his pupils contract.
"It's the water!"
Hyuga Neji smiles, looking at the water splashes around him, and reflects.
"You were careless, not observing the terrain. Although you didn't touch me, the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist can be transmitted through other objects."
The immobilized Hozuki Suigetsu turns green with frustration, realizing, "It's the water on the ground. You infused a large amount of chakra into the water with your Gentle Fist, attacking me through it."
Hozuki Suigetsu now understands his defeat.
Hyuga Neji, still panting, nods, "Correct, but this technique requires a lot of chakra and is not usually used."
"Damn it!"
As Hozuki Suigetsu sulks, the referee announces the result of the second match.
"Second match, Hyuga Neji vs. Hozuki Suigetsu, Hyuga Neji wins!"
Roars~
The atmosphere intensifies even more. If the first match was a dazzling display of ninjutsu, the second was a battle of defense versus offense.
At the same time, Hozuki Suigetsu also showed countless people his talent in water release and swordsmanship. If not for his carelessness, the outcome might have been uncertain.
Meanwhile, Hyuga Neji also displayed his meticulous tactical mind and calm demeanor.
"The third match, Kimimaro vs Gaara, please come to the stage."
At this moment, the audience was enthusiastic, but they did not think the third match would be as exciting as the previous two, as it's rare to have continuous geniuses.
However, the third match began with the referee's signal and instantly dealt a heavy blow to many.
Boom!
Kimimaro, quick as lightning, teleported in front of Gaara. With a whip kick, he instantly shattered Gaara's absolute defense, sending himself flying against the wall behind, creating a huge crater.
Boom, boom~
Kimimaro's attack was like a storm, leaving the audience of ten thousand in awe of the terrifying battle.
Roar!
Gaara, in a rage, spread a massive amount of sand.
Corpse Bone Pulse: Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets
The moment Kimimaro was blown away by the sand, he quickly reacted.
"Corpse Bone Pulse!"
However, experienced ninjas in the audience were shocked by this scene, with many exclaiming in surprise.
It's the Corpse Bone Pulse!
Sand Waterfall Funeral
Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Clematis Vine
In this splendid duel, the brilliance of their fight was beyond the understanding of ordinary people in the audience seats, but some ninjas were utterly astonished.
"This! Is this really the combat power of a Genin?"
The one who spoke in shock was a veteran Chunin who clearly knew that the level of battle between the two had already surpassed that of a Chunin.
Special Jonin?
"These two kids are already at the level of a Jonin."
Watching this exciting duel, Kakashi couldn't help but frown and comment gravely.
And beside him, Momochi Zabuza also nodded seriously, acknowledging that at least Kimimaro posed a lethal threat to him.
"Damn, he's so strong."
Hozuki Suigetsu, who was receiving treatment from medical ninjas to recover chakra, couldn't help but grumble.
Hearing this, Momochi Zabuza immediately got angry, turned his head, and glared, saying, "You fool, you actually lost because of your brains! Idiot!"
"Teacher No-eyebrows, how was I supposed to know the opponent would be so cunning."
"What did you say?"
As the master and disciple argued with wide eyes, eventually Hozuki Suigetsu had to submit under Momochi Zabuza's might, only able to endure the 'affection' from the demon.
Meanwhile, a one-sided situation was unfolding on the battlefield.
Kimimaro was clearly not yet going all out, but he was already beating Gaara, who was on the verge of going berserk.
And just then, hidden among the crowd of the Konoha, three Jonin of the Sarutobi clan, who had been concealed there without anyone noticing, suddenly formed hand seals and released a ninjutsu.
Temple of Nirvana Technique
Instantly, white feathers floated in the sky. Just as countless people present were about to be hypnotized, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.
"Genjutsu! Release!"
The voice of Kurenai Yuhi, known as the strongest female Genjutsu ninja, echoed throughout the venue, instantly breaking the illusion.
"Lord Yoru!"
At the same time, a cry of surprise came from the venue. Unbeknownst to them, the Fourth Kazekage appeared behind Uchiha Yoru, with Kunai already positioned at Yoru's neck.
As the audience gasped in shock, the other four Kages remained extremely calm.
Seeing this scene, Onoki showed a very fake expression of surprise, "Fourth Kazekage, what are you doing!"
"Fourth Kazekage, you are disrupting peace!" the Fourth Raikage, A, yelled angrily, and if it weren't for the schadenfreude in his eyes, one might think he was genuinely concerned.
The Tsuchikage and Raikage were putting on a show, but their bodies remained calmly seated, enjoying the spectacle.
Tsunade and Terumi Mei, meanwhile, looked grave, both on guard against the Tsuchikage and Raikage.
"Fourth Kazekage, you've got some nerve!"
In an instant, a signal resounded through the sky, and a large number of Sand ninja suddenly appeared outside the Konoha, madly attacking the village.
This sudden turn of events caused panic among the audience.
However, thankfully, due to prior arrangements, the chaos was perfectly contained by a pre-set barrier.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yoru was calmly taken hostage by the Fourth Kazekage to the rooftop. On the golden tiles, four figures, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly appeared.
Barrier Technique: Four Violet Flames Formation
Suddenly, a four-sided purple barrier appeared on the rooftop, clearly visible to everyone.
Uchiha Yoru, being held hostage, calmly watched this scene.
"I didn't expect you to be so bold, Fourth. Was it Sarutobi's idea?"
At this moment, the masked Fourth Kazekage revealed a smile.
"This is just a blindfold to catch you off guard, Uchiha Yoru!"
At the last sentence, the voice changed, revealing a familiar, hoarse voice.
"So it's you!"
At this, even Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, "Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
Following Yoru's words, the figure behind him, now revealed to be the Fourth Kazekage, also let out a hoarse laugh, clearly seen by the other Kages.
Ripping off the mask, the Fourth Kazekage's royal robe was thrown up high, revealing the true face of the Third Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, clad in armor, appeared before the world once again.
