"I'll deal with you later," Sasuke said as he disappeared from Naruto's sight and blitzed Neji, who was observing everything in the back.
"What...?!!" Neji muttered as he felt a kick in his stomach. He didn't see anything coming his way until it was too late.
Even people in the audience couldn't see his movement except Might Guy.
'Sasuke's speed is comparable to 6th gate' Might Guy thought as he got worried about his student. He wasn't sure If Lee would be able to keep up with Sasuke if he opened his 5th gate.
He didn't want his student to become a cripple again, so he decided to intervene if things went wrong.
"What just happened?"
"When did Sasuke hit Neji?"
"Did he teleport in front of him?"
The audience was shocked by Sasuke's sudden attack but soon assumed that it was his Teleportation. None of them could even think that it was just pure speed because they knew that Neji would be able to see Sasuke if he attacked head-on.
"Argghh!" Neji spat out some blood and was about to fall to his knees, but Sasuke grabbed him by his collar.
"Goodbye," Sasuke said as he used Shinra Tensei and threw him out of the arena before Neji could counterattack.
"Neji Hyuuga is eliminated," The chunnin, who was also the referee, said as a couple of medical ninjas ran towards him.
"Hey, isn't that the same power as that Pain guy?"
"That means that eye gave him that power".
"Hey, you went to get that eye. Did you get that eye from that corpse?
"The corpses didn't have any eyes"
"Bullshit, you just want to keep it for yourself"
The ninjas who were present on the battlefield against Pain knew that the repulsive force was Pain's ability, which confirms the theory that his powers were given to him by his special eye.
'It's that cursed eye' Might Guy said as he looked at Sasuke's Rinnegan.
He had heard about that eye when he returned to the village since everyone was talking about it. He heard how dangerous and wicked it was, so he specifically instructed his team not to ask Sasuke about his left eye.
As for himself, even he felt weird seeing a purple eye.
'I feel bad for Neji' Sasuke said as he saw some medical ninjas attending to Neji.
Sasuke always had a soft spot for Neji because he could never escape his imprisonment and his fate of being a slave.
He hated how Naruto yapped about helping Neji and the branch family in the chunin exams and completely forgot about it after the time skip. He didn't even do anything about it when he became the Hokage.
Everything Naruto said was a lie. Sasuke considers Naruto a dumb idiot who isn't qualified to be a leader. He wouldn't have even had feelings for Hinata if the author hadn't forced it in The Last Movie.
"He had it easy. Now it's your turn," Sasuke smirked as he turned towards Naruto and Lee.
"Shadow Clones Jutsu," Naruto said as he created over 20 clones, and they all attacked Sasuke.
"Why do you not learn anything else?" Sasuke activated his E.M.S. as he realized that Naruto only spams Shadow Clones and Rasengan.
"Shinra Tensei," Sasuke said as he threw all of Naruto's clones away.
Once the strong repulsive wave stopped, Sasuke was attacked by Lee.
"Good Job, Naruto," Lee said as he kicked Sasuke with all of his might, but it got blocked by Sasuke.
"5th Gate, Open" Lee said as his body changed its color and his kick became much more powerful.
"Naruto!!! Your turn" Lee shouted as he struggled to land his kick.
"Take this, Sasuke," Naruto said as he came out from below Sasuke's feet and landed a Rasengan.
Due to the sudden attack from below, Sasuke's attention was diverted which helped Lee land his kick.
"Victory" both of them yelled as their attack hit Sasuke.
Just when they thought that they defeated Sasuke. They heard Sasuke's voice in their head.
"Wake up to reality, kids," Sasuke said as he put them out of his Genjutsu.
"Huh, what?" Naruto said as he realized that he was still standing in his place where he stood before attacking Sasuke.
"Is this Genjutsu?" Lee said in shock since it was his first time experiencing an advanced Genjutsu.
"Why are they not moving?"
"Idiot, they are trapped in Sasuke's Genjutsu"
"Uchihas are really unparallel in Genjutsu"
The audience soon realized that both Lee and Naruto were in Genjutsu.
"Those two are vulnerable to Genjutsu," Shizune said with pity as she looked at them.
"I told him not to look in his eyes," Might Guy said with disappointment.
"It's time to end this. I had fun playing with you idiots" Sasuke said as he decided to end this joke of a fight.
"Tsukuyomi" Sasuke said as he used Tsukuyomi on Rock Lee and trapped him in the nightmare where Sasuke broke his bones. Of course, he also felt the pain each time.
Since Sasuke was in a good mood, he only tortured Lee thrice until Sasuke walked up to him and threw him out of the arena with a kick.
Once Lee was out of bounds, Sasuke stopped using Tsukuyomi on Lee. If he hadn't done it, he was sure that Guy would come after him.
He didn't want to fight Guy yet. He was sure that he would win against the 8 Gates Guy by just teleporting away and playing time, but he didn't want an annoying and unnecessary fight.
"Rock Lee is eliminated" The chunnin referee shouted.
"Lee, are you all right?" Guy said as he jumped towards Lee and held him in his arms.
"Why did you go that far, Sasuke?" Naruto yelled as Guy also looked at him like he needed an answer from Sasuke.
"It's your fault for not having a countermeasure against Genjutsu. Now it's your turn" Sasuke said as he raised his hand towards Naruto.
"Shadow Clone Jut-" Before Naruto could use his signature jutsu, he felt an unstoppable force pulling him towards Sasuke.
"Bansho Tenin," Sasuke said as he pulled Naruto towards him and punched him in the stomach.
'Gluttony' Sasuke used Gluttony and tried to absorb Kurama through Naruto but it failed.
[The Host can't absorb a Bijuu while it's in its Jinchuruki]
"Argghhh" Naruto groaned as he felt extreme pain in his stomach.
'I guess I have to force Kurama out someday' Sasuke said as he threw Naruto outside the arena.
"Naruto Uzumaki is eliminated. Sasuke Uchiha is the winner" The chunnin referee announced Sasuke as the winner.
