You've Lost

"The Three Sannin of 'gambling, women, and drugs'" wasn't just an empty boast! Sasuke had already started to enjoy the feeling of Orochimaru's power. He craved strength. He wanted to find Itachi and take his revenge!

At this moment, all he wanted was to let loose and savor the might of this power!

Watching the terrifying Sasuke, Dosu shuddered. Was this terrifying guy the target Orochimaru had ordered him to kill? What kind of joke was Orochimaru playing?

Sasuke erupted again. The Cursed Seal spread across most of his skin, and his Chakra surged once more.

"Zaku, fall back!"

Dosu shouted in terror. Sasuke, covered in the Cursed Seal, was more than they could handle. Their mission was doomed to fail.

But rage had clouded Zaku's judgment. He raised both hands and shouted,

"What are you afraid of? Then we'll kill both of them! And we won't leave anyone else alive!"

"Vacuum Wave!"

Zaku roared and unleashed his most powerful Vacuum Wave attack. The sound waves that spilled out made the onlookers nearby wince in pain, while the waves aimed straight ahead plowed a deep trench through the ground. The Vacuum Wave struck its target and exploded with a roar.

A beam of light shot out through the explosion and slammed into Zaku, sending him flying into a tree and smashing it apart. His body was covered in wounds, his clothes scorched. He was unable to get back up!

Sasuke, who had rushed over to Zaku to finish him off, stared blankly as Zaku was blasted away right in front of him.

It was like building up to a triumphant moment, only for the target to disappear. Like reaching the most exciting part of a novel, only to run into a giant shit-colored button.

Sasuke couldn't have felt more frustrated!

He glanced coolly at Qinglong. Ever heard that people who show off without giving others a chance get struck by lightning?

At that moment, Sasuke really wanted to fight Qinglong. He remembered what Lee had said: Qinglong was a master even stronger than Lee!

But now wasn't the time. There was still one person left to deal with. He turned his gaze to the trembling Dosu and grinned cruelly.

"Then let's have some fun, shall we?"

As he spoke, Sasuke had already charged forward, forming Hand Seals.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Several fireballs shot from Sasuke's mouth and hurtled toward Dosu.

Dosu swung his fist, and a sound wave extinguished the flames. But Sasuke was already on him. Dosu struck his modified arm, unleashing a wide-range sound-wave attack that spread outward like a sphere. Sasuke had vanished from sight.

"What?"

Dosu's pupils shrank as he searched for Sasuke!

"Above you!"

Dosu looked up, but Sasuke was faster. He planted a foot on Dosu and, when Dosu tried to unleash another sound-wave attack, seized both his hands and twisted them cruelly behind his back.

"I... I surrender! Yamete!"

Dosu's face twisted in pain as he hurriedly surrendered to Sasuke.

But a demonic smile tugged at Sasuke's lips. A terrifying, evil aura radiated from his whole body. There was no way he'd just let Dosu go.

At that moment, Ino, Choji, and the others were all terrified by the fearsome Chakra radiating from Sasuke. Even Sakura found this Sasuke unfamiliar.

"Is that modified arm of yours really so powerful?"

Sasuke grinned viciously, then suddenly wrenched Dosu's modified arm out of its socket without mercy!

"Argh!"

A scream rang out, as if echoing in everyone's hearts. Shikamaru and Ino watched in horror as Sasuke slowly, bit by bit, twisted Dosu's arm until it broke. Kindhearted Choji was too scared to look.

"Tsk! Looks like someone really had to get their arm broken!"

Qinglong sighed. This scene was indeed a little cruel for kids just starting out.

On the other side, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and the others were witnessing something even more brutal.

Gaara of the Sand had wrapped a Rain ninja in sand and lifted him into the air. Holding an umbrella, he clenched one hand and used Sand Burial to crush the Rain ninja to pieces. A terrifying rain of blood mixed with sand fell from the sky.

Kiba, Hinata, and Shino were so frightened that they turned and ran. Akamaru trembled in fear, hiding in Kiba's arms and not daring to come out for a long time.

Only after Gaara left did the three of them collapse to the ground and gasp for breath.

A ninja grew through hardship. Only by enduring such things could they mature. How many floors could you carry a bag of rice up?

These young Konoha ninja had witnessed the cruelty of the ninja world for the first time!

Dosu screamed as Sasuke kicked him away. His entire arm had been broken, and he lay on the ground, trembling in pain. He didn't dare make a sound, afraid it would provoke an even more brutal attack from Sasuke.

Still, Dosu ought to thank Sasuke. This way, he might not go challenge Gaara and get himself killed.

That way, Dosu might even become a legend in Six Paths.

"Tch! Not a single one of you can put up a fight!"

Sasuke sneered and looked at Qinglong. After instantly defeating the Otogakure ninja, Uchiha Sasuke—who had just been psychologically crushed by Orochimaru—felt like he was back in form!

"Qinglong, I've wanted to fight you for ages! Now's the perfect chance."

"This isn't the right time. We should hurry and finish the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

Qinglong shook his head and refused. Shikamaru and the others nearby tried to talk Sasuke down too. "Yeah! The exam comes first. Our main goal right now is to get to the central tower."
