Face Swollen from Slaps

Madara Uchiha: Trash, Tobirama! You're full of shit!

Tobirama Senju: Heh heh! I can't be bothered arguing with you! Makoto, charge in and beat the hell out of him! If it makes me happy, I'll give you something good later!

Madara Uchiha: You're full of shit! What good thing could you possibly have? Makoto, don't listen to him! Go beat up someone from the Senju Clan! I'll give you something good too!

Izuna Uchiha: Big Brother, have you forgotten that there's no one left in the Uchiha Clan now?!

Madara Uchiha: That's right! There's no one left in the Senju Clan! Hahahahahahaha, that's fucking hilarious!!! How could there be no one left? Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Tobirama Senju: Bastard, Madara Uchiha, shut the hell up!!!!

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Iruka spoke to Sasuke Uchiha and Makoto Ito.

"Alright, since you've chosen to challenge each other, please form the Confrontation Seal..."

"Hmph!"

Sasuke Uchiha reluctantly held out his hand and formed a seal in front of his chest.

On the other side, Makoto Ito even more unwillingly made a casual gesture...

Iruka could only grimace at the sight...

These two were really half-assing it...

Iruka could not be bothered to dwell on such details and directly announced the start of the match!

At that moment, Makoto Ito repeated the same move he had used against Naruto earlier.

He placed one hand behind his back, then stretched out the other and crooked a finger at Sasuke.

"Come at me!!!"

Sasuke was completely dumbfounded when he saw that!

"Bastard, how dare you look down on me!!! Do you think I'm like Naruto, that Dead Last?"

Seeing Sasuke gritting his teeth, Makoto Ito shook his head...

"I'm just letting you make the first move. Otherwise, if I move first, you probably won't get much of a chance to attack!"

?????????????

Upon hearing Makoto Ito's words, rows of question marks appeared over everyone's heads!

Had Makoto Ito not woken up yet? He was actually letting Sasuke attack first! Had they all fallen under a genjutsu just now?

Damn it, was it a genjutsu? When had it happened?

Sasuke, meanwhile, also wore an expression of utter disbelief!

Shouldn't that have been my line just now?

Once Sasuke came back to his senses, he gritted his teeth furiously!

"Arrogant!!!! Since you're asking to die, then I'll grant your wish!!!! Let's see if you can still be this cocky later!!!"

Before Sasuke had even finished speaking, he charged straight at Makoto Ito!

Sasuke was far faster than Naruto, but in Makoto Ito's eyes, that speed was still slow! It was practically painfully slow!

Sasuke raised his fist and swung it toward Makoto Ito's head!

Minato Namikaze: This speed does look much better than Naruto's!

Tobirama Senju: Beat him, beat him, beat him hard! Hurry up, Makoto! Beat him hard!

Fugaku Uchiha: Second Hokage, are you sick? Why do you insist on having the Group Leader beat up my son?

Tobirama Senju: I don't like the look of him. So what? Not convinced? Want to have a one-on-one?

Madara Uchiha: I don't like the look of you either. Want to have a one-on-one?

Hashirama Senju: How about it, Madara! Let's have a one-on-one!

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Madara Uchiha immediately stopped sending messages...

Facing Sasuke's hook, Makoto Ito merely shifted slightly to the side and dodged it. The movement was utterly effortless, smooth as flowing water...

Sasuke was shocked to see his hook dodged so easily by Makoto Ito!

But Sasuke did not think too much about it. He turned and was about to strike Makoto Ito's stomach with an elbow...

Makoto Ito spun again, easily evading Sasuke Uchiha's attack once more!

Iruka, who was watching the match, found it unbelievable!

It seemed Makoto Ito's footwork was quite good too? He could dodge Sasuke's attacks so easily! He had already made considerable progress in strength before, and now he had improved so much in movement as well. It looked like Makoto Ito worked very hard normally!

Iruka could not help praising him inwardly...

Tobirama Senju: Hey, hey, hey! Don't just dodge! Counterattack! Hit him! Hit his face! Make sure you slap his whole face swollen! Knock out all his teeth! Hurry up and make your move!

Makoto Ito: "Alright, alright... Why does it feel like you're more anxious than I am to fight?"

Sasuke threw a side kick at Makoto Ito, but this time, Makoto Ito did not dodge. Instead, he grabbed Sasuke by the ankle and yanked him over...

At that moment, Sasuke could no longer maintain his balance, because he could feel that Makoto Ito was far stronger than him!

Sasuke was completely unable to control his balance and fell straight toward Makoto Ito...

Makoto Ito clenched his fist and smashed it straight into Sasuke's face...

Makoto Ito had not held back at all. The instant his fist landed, half of Sasuke's face immediately swelled and turned red...

At that moment, all the other students watching were stunned!

Especially Sasuke's fangirls—they simply could not believe what they were seeing!

"Oh my god!!"

"Huh????"

"How is that possible?!!!"

No one could believe that Sasuke had been the first to suffer a loss!

Even Iruka was slow to react. He had originally thought Sasuke would defeat Makoto Ito cleanly and decisively, but to his surprise, Sasuke was the first one to take a hit! He had actually taken a solid punch from Makoto Ito!

Fugaku Uchiha: "!!!! Damn! Makoto! That was way too heavy-handed, wasn't it?"

Mikoto Uchiha: "Exactly, that was far too harsh! Look at Sasuke's face—it's all swollen! Couldn't you have gone a little easier on him?"

Tobirama Senju: "Yes, yes, that's exactly how it should be done! This feels so good to watch! Evil Uchiha, arrogant Uchiha! Let's see if he still dares to act so smug now?!"

Sasuke was a little dazed after taking Makoto Ito's punch...

Because he had never imagined that he would actually be hit by the Dead Last!

He simply could not accept that reality!

Sasuke had originally planned to take Makoto Ito down cleanly and decisively, but what happened? He had been toyed with right from the start! And now he had taken a solid punch straight to the face!

Most importantly, it was his face!!! You weren't supposed to hit someone in the face, okay? His face was swollen now!!!
