Two best friends who have been hurting each other since Ninja Academy broke up due to Sasuke, and now they are fighting because of Chunin Ninja Exams.
When the battle started, the Taijutsu gap between the two was about the same. Seven or eight minutes later, Ino was forced to the corner of the field by a backhand throw from Sakura, with his back pressed against the wall.
Ino did not forcefully break through, but formed a Mind Body Switch Technique seal with his hands facing Sakura.
The moment the mind-changing technique hit, Sakura's movements froze, and Ino's spirit entered Sakura's body, trying to control Sakura's body to make it voluntarily admit defeat.
Sakura's hand holding Kunai was raised in the air, veins popped up on his forehead, and his lips were bleeding from biting them.
Then she used her willpower to blast Ino's spirit out of her body.
The reaction force of the two mental forces colliding head-on at the level of consciousness knocked them both to the ground at the same time. Ino's body slid down along the wall, and Sakura fell directly on his back in the center of the field.
The two fell to the ground at the same time, and neither of them could stand up again after the Gekko Hayate countdown as the referee ended.
Gekko Hayate can only announce, "In the fourth duel, both sides lost the qualification for the third exam."
Next up is Tenten versus Temari.
From the first second, this battle entered into a crushing rhythm of Feng Ke Ninja Tools.
Tenten threw out all the throwing ninja tools in her ninja tool bag.
Temari just opened the iron fan that was wider than her whole body, and with a slight blow, a hurricane poured out from the fan, and all the ninja tools were blown away in front of the wall of wind as if the reverse button was pressed.
Tenten fell to the wall, his back hit the wall, the ball on top of his head fell apart, and the broken hair stuck to the sweat stains on his forehead.
Temari gathered the fan and put it back on his shoulder, turned around and walked back to the rest area.
Then it's Shikamaru versus Kin Tsuchi.
While Shikamaru pretended to use Shuriken to contain him, he mentally calculated the position of each opponent's jump, the angle of the surrounding walls, and the length of the shadow produced by the light on the ground.
When he felt that the solution to the equation was almost ready, he let his shadow peek out from the side of the opponent's legs, where the outline of the oil lamp was elongated by the sun, and grabbed Kin Tsuchi's legs.
Shadow Imitation Technique succeeded.
Kin Tsuchi was directly controlled by Shikamaru and rushed towards the wall. His forehead hit the stone wall with a muffled sound before he slid down and passed out.
The bulletin board scrolls again.
Naruto vs. Kiba Inuzuka.
The moment the battle list was revealed, Naruto's mouth curved slightly and he turned to look at Soldier Pills who was standing not far away and was feeding Soldier Pills to Akamaru.
"Ya, I didn't expect that we would actually meet."
"Hmph, you guy, just wait, I will definitely beat you to pieces!"
Ya put Akamaru on his head, folded his hands on his chest, and raised his chin to the sky with a confident smile on his face.
He can now use Beast Mimicry Ninja Technique and Beast-Man Clone in conjunction with Akamaru. The Ninjutsu system of the Inuzuka Clan has a very strong suppression power against ninjas of the same level in melee combat.
"Naruto-kun, come on..."
Hinata stood behind Ya and said timidly.
"Hey, Hinata, you only cheer for Naruto and not me?"
"Ah... no... no, come on, Yaya!"
Hinata's hands were swinging in front of his chest, and his face was as red as if it had just been cooked.
Naruto nodded towards Hinata.
The red color on Hinata's face spread from the tips of her ears to her neck. She twisted her fingers together and spoke so softly that only Akamaru next to her could hear her clearly:
"Naruto-kun, come on... I will watch it carefully."
Naruto smiled, jumped over the fence, and landed firmly on the side of the circular field.
Ya jumped down immediately after him, and Akamaru jumped from his head to the ground before he landed. He got down on all fours and barked twice at Naruto.
At this moment when the two men stood facing each other at opposite ends of the field, all eyes in the stands were focused on the two men.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting in the highest viewing seat. His old fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair twice, and his eyes fell on Naruto through the swirling smoke.
Kakashi is suppressing Cursed Seal in the seal room for Sasuke, so now there is no team leader Jōnin standing on the sidelines to back up Naruto, but Hiruzen Sarutobi is not worried.
He also wanted to know how much this kid who looked more and more like Minato could show off in a real battle.
Yuhi Kurenai stood by the fence on the second floor with his arms folded, his eyes moving from Naruto to Hinata and back again.
As Hinata's leader Jōnin, she could clearly see the tone of the conversation between Naruto and Hinata just now.
This blond boy's attitude towards Hinata is obviously different from others. That kind of concern is not a courtesy between teammates.
Kakashi told her before that Naruto has changed a lot recently, and now it seems that it has become more than just strength.
Gaara stood in a dimly lit corner on the second floor, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, and the sand in the gourd was stirring slightly without anyone noticing.
He stared at Naruto in the center of the field, remembering the brief encounter with Konoha on the street.
Naruto said to him, "We may be the same kind of people."
"A type of person..."
Gaara repeated these three words in his mind several times.
Now he wants to see how much strength this Konoha Genin, who claims to be the same as him, actually has.
The sand surged in the gourd and made a friction sound.
Shikamaru took his hands out of his pockets, put them on the railing and muttered, "These two guys actually got together, it's so troublesome!"
But his lazy eyes were a little more energetic than before.
Chōji moved the potato chip bag to the side, poked half of his head out of the gap in the railing, looked down, and said vaguely, "Naruto That guy shouldn't lose, right?"
At this time, Ino's figure appeared, and then she took two steps forward, her eyes shining with excitement:
"Naruto I haven't seen him do anything since graduation. Today I want to see how much this guy has changed."
"Why are you back and recovered?" Shikamaru asked.
"Okay, okay..."
Ino waved his hands and focused on the field.
Shino stood in the back row of the crowd, his sunglasses reflecting the white light of the bulletin board. Kikaichū flapped his wings silently on the edge of his collar:
"The density of Naruto and Chakra is much higher than the last time we met. This battle should be concluded soon!"
The sporadic words in the stands were gently brushed away by a figure passing through the crowd.
Hinata twisted his fingers together in front of his chest. "Naruto-kun... come on."
In the field
Ya folded his hands on his chest, his chin pointed upward, and his canine teeth showed at the corners of his mouth.
"Naruto, now I will let you know how hard Master Kiba Inuzuka's fist is."
"Akamaru, let's go!"
"Come on!"
Naruto swung the hem of his white windbreaker behind him and walked towards the center of the field.
"The eighth matchup, Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka."
"Start!"
The moment Hayate finished speaking, Ya's body began to change.
Kaka...
His Chakra exploded from his body, rushing along the meridians of his limbs at high speed, and the bones of his fingers and toes made sounds under the stimulation of Chakra.
Teeth's nails became longer and harder, leaving a few light white scratches on the ground when lightly scraped.
His posture changed from upright to four feet on the ground, his back arched, like a wild dog ready to pounce on food.
"Beast Mimicry Ninja Technique: Four Legs Technique!"
