Matsuzaki Wins

At this moment, another intense battle began.

Just as his lightning-covered right hand was about to make contact with the puppet's waist, the puppet instantly sidestepped, grazing past and leaving behind a black scorched mark.

The puppet clenched its fist and threw a punch toward the exposed opening at Uchiha Matsuzaki's waist.

Uchiha Matsuzaki was sent flying on the spot, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

While in mid-air, Uchiha Matsuzaki instantly twisted his body, found his center of gravity, and landed safely on the ground.

However, his waist had suffered a heavy blow, and it felt as if two of his ribs had broken.

"Damn it, I was careless... It hurts!"

At this time, the students watching the duel from the sidelines were dumbfounded; they had never seen such a battle scene before.

The difference between fighting an examiner and fighting a puppet is that the examiner has humanity, while the puppet does not.

Before Uchiha Matsuzaki could recover, the puppet rushed forward once again.

"Not good!"

He pulled out a kunai to block the attack.

Blade and fist clashed back and forth, emitting booming sounds.

This can't go on.

While fighting, Uchiha Matsuzaki kept searching for the puppet's weakness.

Hard work always pays off.

When the puppet launched an attack with both hands, Uchiha Matsuzaki seized the opportunity.

Swish!

A horizontal slash with the kunai.

The puppet's left eye shattered, leaving a scar and revealing the wires inside.

The puppet's attack came to a halt.

Seeing this, Uchiha Matsuzaki immediately retreated to the side, gasping for air.

So strong. Last time was luck; I don't know the outcome this time.

Uchiha Matsuzaki stood to the side, clutching the place where his ribs were broken, thinking to himself.

"Rasengan..."

Enduring the sharp pain, Uchiha Matsuzaki extended his right hand, and chakra gathered to form a blue Rasengan.

But just at this moment, he injected his lightning-attribute chakra into the Rasengan.

Sure enough, just as the system had explained, the Rasengan in his hand was now surrounded by a ring of lightning, becoming the brand-new Lightning Rasengan.

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at the unresponsive puppet and instantly accelerated, rushing toward it.

The puppet turned quickly and extended its hands, attempting to block.

The Lightning Rasengan struck exactly on the puppet's blocking arms.

After holding on for a few seconds, Uchiha Matsuzaki discovered that the puppet's body was too rigid, and he couldn't break through.

"Damn it, just... break!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki shouted loudly, then gathered chakra and transmitted it into the Rasengan in his hand once more.

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion, Uchiha Matsuzaki was knocked back.

But when he looked at the puppet again, he saw that its arm had been severed and had vanished without a trace.

The armless puppet stood in place, no longer moving.

But it still had power.

Uchiha Matsuzaki revealed a faint smile.

"Sharingan, Big Ball Rasengan..."

Ignoring the pain, Uchiha Matsuzaki seized this opportunity to activate his Three-Tomoe Sharingan once again, unleashing the Big Ball Rasengan as he charged at the puppet.

At this moment, everyone in the arena was incredibly excited.

They all understood that if he hit the puppet this time, it would mean winning the match.

"Go for it!"

"Go! Brother, I'm rooting for you!"

"Come on, brother!"

Off the field, all the onlookers were now fired up.

"Die!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki pushed the Big Ball Rasengan between his hands toward the puppet, which was standing motionless in place.

The Rasengan made contact with the puppet's body, tearing it to shreds piece by piece.

"Bang..."

Following a thunderous boom, all the dust on the field was sent swirling into the air.

As the dust slowly settled, Uchiha Matsuzaki stood in the arena, tilted his head to look at the sun in the sky, and began to laugh.

At this moment, his arm had also suffered heavy damage, and he had already deactivated his Sharingan, with two trails of blood streaming down from the corners of his eyes.

His legs gave out.

His eyes closed.

He collapsed on cue.

He fell into a coma.
