Meanwhile, Naruto Uzumaki pointed at the arena from the competitors' seats and exclaimed in shock, "She... she... she can actually use Lightning Release ninjutsu too?"
Beside him, Kakashi sighed helplessly and said slowly, "According to the intelligence, Ringo Yuri is one of the new-generation Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, and the successor to the Lightning Blade: Fang."
"And the Lightning Blade: Fang is a ninja sword capable of wielding lightning, providing immeasurable benefits to Lightning Release-type ninjas."
"Only Lightning Release-type ninjas can fully bring out the power of the Lightning Blade: Fang."
"Therefore, every Ninja Sword Wielder who possesses the Lightning Blade is a Lightning Release-type ninja."
"As the successor to the Lightning Blade, it isn't strange at all that Ringo Yuri can use Lightning Release ninjutsu!"
As he spoke, Kakashi shot a sidelong glance at his simple-minded student.
That guy shouted every day about becoming Hokage, yet all he knew was how to charge ahead recklessly. Kakashi had already given all three of them the information on every competitor before the matches.
Naruto definitely hadn't read it!
Meanwhile, in Kirigakure's competitors' seats, Suigetsu sighed emotionally, "Yuri is finally going all out!"
From the beginning until now, Yuri had only fought that bushy-browed fellow at close quarters with her swordsmanship. She had never used ninjutsu.
Now that her opponent had removed his weights and burst out with his full strength, gaining an overwhelming advantage, if she continued holding back, she would lose.
Beside him, Chojuro asked softly, "Do you think Yuri can beat that guy from Konoha?"
"Do you really need to ask?"
Suigetsu glanced meaningfully at the arena and continued, "No matter how fast that guy is, it means nothing under the paralysis effect of Lightning Release!"
Unless something unexpected happened, Yuri was certain to win this round.
