"The winner, Uchiha Sasuke."
Gekko Hayate announced, shocked to the point of forgetting that he was a sickly person who would cough when speaking.
...
"Sasuke, was it necessary to use that technique at the start? This is just the preliminary round!" Ino watched as the purple Susanoo gradually disappeared, and couldn't help but frown and complain.
"Perhaps, this is not his full strength. In the historical records of Konoha, Susanoo is not just a skeleton." Naruto said.
"What do you mean?"
"Susanoo is divided into several stages. The first stage is a partial skeleton, defensive ribs, or offensive and defensive hand bones are possible. The second stage is the full upper body skeleton, which has stronger defense and attack power, which is the stage Sasuke is using now."
Naruto squinted his eyes and continued, "But this is not the end of Susanoo. Above this, there is a third stage where Susanoo grows muscles, and a fourth stage where armor is covered on the muscles, the complete body Susanoo, and even a higher level War God form, the complete body Susanoo."
"Judging from his relaxed expression at the moment, I don't think the second stage of Susanoo is his full strength, he may have even stronger power."
"There are so many stages, is Susanoo that strong?" Ino said incredulously.
"Of course, throughout the history of the Uchiha clan, there haven't been many who have activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if there are..." Naruto glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen on the other side and didn't continue.
"Also?" Ino asked.
"It's okay, you just need to know that this power is very rare." Naruto said.
Hinata, who was nearby, quietly listened to their conversation and thought to herself: There's so much to it, should I also learn to simulate using the power of the Byakugan?
According to her experience, some of the abilities of the Byakugan and Sharingan are common. After Sasuke used the power that made Asuma fly out, she tried to develop in that direction, and last night she actually developed the ability to control gravity and repulsion, but she can't control it perfectly yet.
"Is that so?" Ino nodded.
"But compared to these, I think there's a greater probability that Sasuke thinks using Susano'o is cool, and Karin praised him before, he was floating, in a good mood, so he just used it directly." Naruto thought for a while and continued.
"Ah this?" Ino was puzzled.
...
"Crow, crow, without you, how can I live, crow."
Kankuro looked at his puppet that had been blown up all over the place in a daze, as if Sasuke's Susano'o punch had not only shattered the puppet, but also his heart to become the strongest puppet master, and his self-confidence as a ninja.
"You who fight relying on external things, losing external things is equivalent to losing everything, your purity is too low, you should practice your own strength more." Sasuke left with his hands in his pockets, and when he walked by Kankuro, he said softly.
In his view, only the power of the ninja himself is the most reliable. Ninja tools can be lost, can be damaged, and puppet masters will lose most of their strength after the puppet is gone... But the power gained through constant tempering of oneself is different, it will not disappear, it will not be damaged, and it can continue to become stronger through subsequent efforts, this is what ninjas should really focus on.
Then, under the shocked or fearful eyes of countless people, Sasuke walked upstairs step by step.
"Sasuke, you're really strong!"
Karin praised simply and directly.
"Hmph, of course, I barely made a move, and it was already the ultimate of a Genin." Sasuke answered with satisfaction, and at the same time put his hands in his pockets, as if he didn't know what an opponent was.
...
The second match, Temari vs Tenten, Temari wins.
The third match, Kin Tsuchi vs Shikamaru, Shikamaru wins.
...
The names on the electronic board continue to change, and then quickly freeze.
"The fourth match, Naruto vs Dosu Kinuta."
Gekko Hayate shouted.
"Wait, I admit defeat."
Dosu Kinuta directly raised his hand on the second floor.
If it were other people, he would still fight a bit afterwards, but his opponent is Naruto, Orochimaru and they said that Naruto's strength is very strong, if encountered, must admit defeat at the first time, and this is also their mission for this trip.
Orochimaru doesn't want the Sunagakure Ninja to see Naruto's strength in advance. If he finds out that Naruto can use Flying Thunder God combined with Nine-Tails transformation, Sunagakure probably won't have the desire to fight, and will directly shrink back into the village and not move.
However, what is unexpected to Orochimaru now is the performance of Hinata and Sasuke, especially Sasuke. He never dreamed that Sasuke would directly open Susano'o in the preliminary competition of the Chunin exam. It seems that the follow-up plan may need to be adjusted.
"Do you know how much extra effort I have to put in to persuade the Sunagakure ninjas because of your use of Susanoo?
Do you know?!
Look at the Sunagakure Jonin Makiba next to me, his face is full of shock and trembling, he's almost becoming the noun of the last two words in the previous sentence!
Forget it, I'll just say that Konohagakure probably has already found the information, so Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately said to show strength, and then let Sasuke use Mangekyou, which will consume vision once used, so that we no longer execute the Konohagakure collapse plan.
Then I'll explain to them the side effects of Mangekyou Sharingan, if they don't believe it, I'll just say directly that Sasuke is here to bluff, how could he show flaws on the surface, the stronger he appears, the better, and he only opened it for a short time, so there won't be particularly large side effects, so he can still pretend.
So troublesome!
...
"Are you sure you want to admit defeat?"
Gekko Hayate confirmed again.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Dosu Kinuta replied.
"Then, the fourth round, Uzumaki Naruto advances."
Gekko Hayate said.
The audience on the stage was somewhat surprised. Although Dosu Kinuta came from the Otogakure village, which is just a small village with no fame, their team advanced very quickly, and their overall strength should be quite good, why would they want to admit defeat at this time?
...
The names on the electronic board continued to change, and the new round of battle list appeared.
"Fifth round, Hinata vs. Zaku Abumi."
Gekko Hayate shouted.
On the second floor, Zaku Abumi, like Dosu Kinuta, raised his hand for the first time and said, "I admit defeat."
"You're admitting defeat too?" Gekko Hayate was puzzled, why did all the Otogakure village admit defeat?
Your village custom?
"I got a little hurt in the Forest of Death before, so, I just admit defeat directly." Zaku Abumi said.
Their task is to randomly match Naruto and then admit defeat, and now Naruto has advanced, they don't need to continue to participate in the next stage of the Chunin exam, so directly admitting defeat is the correct choice, so as not to cause trouble for Orochimaru later.
"Well, the fifth round, Hinata advances."
Gekko Hayate said.
