"What!"

Omoi's expression changed drastically when he saw that his spell had been blocked and returned by Sasuke.

"Lightning Release: Scattered Strike!"

Omoi gritted his teeth and unleashed a wide-range Lightning Release Ninjutsu to meet the attack head-on.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow; that wasn't a bad move.

However, Sasuke didn't want to drag this out any longer.

With his hands forming a hand seal, dazzling blue lightning began to crackle, and countless sharp, bird-like cries echoed throughout the Chunin Exam venue.

Zi--

A massive amount of Chakra condensed directly in his palm.

"What kind of technique is this?"

"That feels amazing!"

In the stands, countless villagers watching the game were filled with amazement.

Inside the arena, Omoi's expression was serious; he sensed a deadly threat from the spell in Sasuke.

"This technique cannot be accepted!"

He gritted his teeth and began to gather Chakra, with wisps of electricity crackling around his body.

Although I'm not very Proficient yet, I can at least avoid this attack to some extent.

Thinking this, he moved quickly, his feet moving rapidly, constantly darting around.

Sasuke's Sharingan remained locked on Omoi's voice, the Mitsudomoe spinning incessantly.

Seeing the arcs of electricity on Omoi, he couldn't help but grin.

That's it?

The next instant, Sasuke moved, his entire body transforming into a blue afterimage.

Unlike before, when they could only rush forward in a straight line, they caught up with Omoi, and the chirping of Chidori became the only sound in the Chunin Gathering.

Omoi's pupils contracted sharply, but it was too late to dodge; Chidori's dazzling blue arc of electricity had already appeared in front of him.

Without hesitation, he unsheathed the sword from behind his back and held it horizontally in front of his chest.

Click!

The moment Chidori made contact with the scabbard, the scabbard shattered like paper, allowing Omoi to seize that brief moment of pause.

"Ha!"

Omoi had already gathered his Lightning Release Chakra, which covered his hands, and with all his might, he lifted them upwards.

Swish--

Sasuke canceled Chidori abruptly, flipped over, and held Amatsukaku in his hand across Omoi's neck.

Omoi froze on the spot, glancing at Amatsukaku on his neck out of the corner of his eye, and swallowed hard.

"Why."

He simply couldn't understand why Sasuke's attacks, which appeared to be straight-line attacks, could change direction so easily.

Moreover, it is not only incredibly powerful, but it can also be neutralized in an instant.

This is simply not the kind of reaction one would expect at this age; at least, he didn't.

The entire venue was completely silent, because Sasuke's performance was just too outstanding, which was followed by a huge cheer.

Hagoromo appeared beside the two and announced, "In this battle, Sasuke Uchiha wins!"

Sasuke bowed to Hagoromo before turning and leaving, completely ignoring Omoi had just asked the question.

Looking at that figure's back, Omoi immediately squatted down and picked up the lollipop that had just fallen.

Ignoring the sand stuck to it, he stuffed it into his mouth, a bitter smile on his face, "To lose so completely."

"However, surviving seems pretty good."

After getting up, he headed straight for another exit; it was time to prepare to return to the village.

"Omoi's loss was not unjust."

Killer B stood beside Ai and whispered.

Ai then propped her head up with her right hand, offering no response, though she knew in her heart that this was the case.

"Konoha is truly teeming with talent."

Mei Terumi couldn't help but sigh, "If a bloodline family could obey orders, it would definitely be a good thing for the village."

It reminds me of how the Kirigakure could have been like this in the past, but now it has become like this.

Mei Terumi wanted to devour the Akatsuki whole.

"Second round contestants, get ready!"

Hagoromo immediately announced the start of the second match, with numbers three and four being from Iwagakure and Kirigakure respectively.

Suigetsu leaped directly to the center of the arena, glanced at the Iwagakure Ninja opposite her, and curled her lip in disdain.

Seeing Iwagakure's state, the Suigetsu genin Genin that they attacked without waiting for Hagoromo to announce the start.

Smack

Hagoromo raised her hand and directly pressed down Genin the Iwagakure, saying softly, "Ignoring the referee, do you want to die?"

With so many people in front of him, there's no way Hagoromo could possibly make him disregard the rules.

The Iwagakure Genin, despite using all his strength, couldn't break free and his face turned red from holding his breath.

"I'm... I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo immediately released her hands, and waited for the two of them to stand up again.

"Battle begins!"

Perhaps feeling humiliated, the Iwagakure Genin immediately unleashed a wide-range Ninjutsu.

In an instant, the entire venue floor was destroyed and left in a mess.

Hagoromo shook her head helplessly.

If your mindset is like that, then don't even think about winning.

As expected, Suigetsu played the Iwagakure Genin like a cat toying with a mouse, completely outmaneuvering him.

Chuck finally collapsed to the ground, having lost his footing.

"Hozuki Suigetsu wins this battle!"

Hagoromo announced the result of the battle directly.

A burst of applause erupted from the audience, though not as Sasuke's performance.

However, its fun aspect also makes it somewhat relaxing.

Mei Terumi covered her face in exasperation; this kid had dragged out both of his matches until his opponents were exhausted.

It seems I'll need to get some serious training once I get back to the village.

No, she came herself!

The last member of the Hozuki Clan, this is really too undignified.

Hagoromo simply pressed her hand against the ground, and the messy area was restored to its original state.

Kitsuchi, who Genin's defeat, couldn't help but stare at Hagoromo upon seeing this scene.

Has this guy's Earth Release Nature Transformation reached this level?

"Third round contestants, please take your positions!"

This time, we're coming down to Takigakure and Yugakure, both small villages.

This also caused the audience to lose interest.

The most important participants in this third assessment are the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans, as well as the major nations.

They pay almost no attention to the small ninja villages.

Even on underground exchanges, very few people place bets.

A normal duel Genin ended in this atmosphere.

Surprisingly, Yugakure won.

"Yosh, it's finally my turn!"

Inside the rest room, Naruto stood up abruptly, excitedly stretching his joints.

"Naruto-kun, do your best!"

Hinata encouraged her from the side.

"Hehe, don't worry!" Naruto nodded. As long as he could pass the exam, he would be able to become a Chunin.

"Hmm? Who's your opponent?"

Sasuke then remembered that he hadn't paid attention to who Naruto was fighting.

"Huh? I don't know, I didn't notice at the time."

Naruto scratched his head, his eyes turning into beady pupils.

Sasuke smirked. This guy, he didn't even bother to find out who his opponent was before starting the match.

"It's Sunagakure of Gaara, Naruto-kun."

Hinata then offered a reminder.

"Sunagakure? I know, that lucky guy who got a bye!"
