Seeing him like this, the spectators were all deeply curious.

Hadn't he just stabbed someone? Why was he the one twisting around now?

Inuzuka Kiba scratched his head, revealing a wicked grin.

When Naruto had robbed the Third Hokage, Kiba had happened to be at the Hokage's Office accepting a mission. He deeply admired and sympathized with Naruto's great feat.

But the kid had brought this on himself.

Of all the people in the village, he could have robbed anyone, yet he had set his sights on the strongest person in the village.

If they did not teach him a proper lesson, wouldn't he get completely full of himself?

"The match begins!"

As Gekko Hayate's voice fell, Inuzuka Kiba charged straight at him.

He knew Naruto possessed two special techniques. When he had been matched against Naruto, he had privately sought out Shikamaru.

With Shikamaru's intelligence, it had been easy to analyze the weaknesses of Naruto's two major techniques.

The Thousand Year Impale Technique required complicated hand seals and took a long time to prepare.

As long as he attacked before Naruto completed the seals, the Thousand Year Impale Technique would be broken without even being used.

The Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique, meanwhile, was a close-range technique.

So long as he kept the distance neither too close nor too far, neither of Naruto's moves would have any room to shine.

Now, Naruto's rear end was in trouble, making his movements rather sluggish. Controlling that distance would not be difficult.

As long as he wore Naruto down for a while, given Naruto's temperament, he would definitely raise his hand and surrender.

Watching Kiba remain at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, Naruto clenched his fists tightly.

Then, he crossed his hands and shouted in a low voice, "Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, two more Narutos appeared on the field.

However, affected by Naruto's main body, the clones were also sticking out their rear ends and moving with great difficulty.

"Akamaru!" Kiba shouted, a crafty gleam flashing in his eyes.

Akamaru immediately understood what he meant. Baring his still somewhat immature puppy teeth, he bit Naruto's clone with lightning speed.

The two clones instantly dissipated.

Naruto gritted his teeth and muttered, "Damn it, there's no way to deal with this if it keeps going!"

"When I borrowed smoke bombs from Tenten, I had planned to confuse him from a distance, but he isn't giving me any chance at all!"

He reached into his ninja tool bag.

Suddenly, he touched something with a string attached to it, and his eyes lit up.

"Right! I still have this!" Naruto murmured.

Then, he pulled out his hand and crossed both hands. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Narutos appeared all at once in the arena!

"Naruto, are you so desperate to win that you've gone crazy? If you make so many clones at once, can you still use your special move?"

Naruto gave a mischievous laugh. "Whether I can or not, you'll find out soon enough!"

Immediately afterward, he threw out all his smoke bombs in one go, and the entire venue was instantly covered in smoke.

Kiba sneered. "Naruto, you messed up again. Our Inuzuka clan specializes in training our sense of smell. You can't run away."

He forcefully sniffed, and his expression could not help turning ugly.

No wonder the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu had been listed as a Forbidden Jutsu. The clones created from shadows possessed exactly the same properties as the original.

Even their scent was completely identical. His nose alone could not distinguish them at all.

He nervously watched his surroundings, guarding against Naruto's Shadow Clones that could appear at any moment.

At the same time, one hand slipped into his ninja tool bag.

"Naruto, you don't seriously think a few Shadow Clones can do anything to me, do you?"

He pulled out the clown nose prop and put it directly on his face.

The next instant, he discovered that he could detect every scent in the entire venue.

Even the physical outlines of the spectators far up in the stands appeared in his vision.

As for Naruto's many clones...

"Naruto, are you prepared to lose?"

He let out an excited growl, his body darting forward as he raised his sharp fingertips.

Very quickly, he eliminated every clone on the field from extremely tricky angles.

Not far away, there was one final Naruto-shaped outline.

He sneered inwardly. That had to be Naruto's real body!

He lightened his movements, but his speed did not decrease in the slightest as he rushed directly behind Naruto.

"Naruto, you lost!"

He shouted excitedly and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

That outline exploded as well.

"Another Shadow Clone? Where's Naruto?" He was somewhat bewildered, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

He looked around, but there really was no Naruto-shaped outline left on the field!

"Impossible. He couldn't have slipped away right under my nose!" Kiba muttered in confusion.

Just then, Naruto's smug voice came from above his head.

"Kiba, didn't expect this, did you? I'm above your head!"

Kiba abruptly looked up.

Naruto was riding his Flying broom and floating in midair. The height was just awkward enough that if Kiba jumped, Naruto could easily dodge him.

Kiba pointed at him and roared, "What kind of skill is riding a broom? If you've got guts, come down!"

Naruto stuck out his tongue cheekily. "Come up here! Can't hit me, can't hit me, so mad!"

"Come down!"

"Come up!"

The two argued for several seconds, and Kiba trembled with rage.

At that moment, Naruto suddenly yawned. "This is boring. I guess I'll come down."

He snapped his fingers, and the broom slowly descended.

Just as it was about to reach the ground, he violently shook his arms and untied a mysterious bag.

The instant the bag opened, tears came to Naruto's eyes.

"This smell... No wonder the owner wouldn't let me open it in his shop!"

With a wicked grin, he directly pulled out the Skunk Sachet Yo-yo.

"Kiba, here's a nice gift for you!"

As he spoke, he lowered the Yo-yo.

Kiba's body stiffened.

Wearing the clown nose had already made his sense of smell a hundred times sharper.

That stench, which ordinary people could barely endure, was practically a lethal poison to him.

In an instant, he felt as if more than a dozen nuclear bombs had been dropped on his head.

The blast sent tears streaming down his face, and he collapsed without even the strength to resist.

Seeing this, Naruto grinned as he put away the Yo-yo and jumped down from the broom.

"Try provoking me again. Do you submit now?"

His words were destined to receive no response.

Because Kiba was already lying unconscious on the ground, constantly blowing bubbles from his mouth.

"Cough, cough... Naruto wins this match!"

Gekko Hayate announced while covering his nose.

Outside the arena, two Medical Ninjas ran over carrying a stretcher, placed Kiba on it, and carried him away.

The ninjas from other villages watching in the stands sighed one after another.

Especially the ones leading their teams.

Nearly every one of them had led many genin before, but this was the first time they had ever seen a Chunin Exam like this.

As for the props on the field, they had never even seen anything like them before.

"Gaara, do you know what's going on?"

The Sand Ninja jonin leading the team asked beside Gaara.

Gaara's expression was extremely gloomy. He flicked the Shukaku's Tail embedded in his butt and said in a low voice.

"Isn't it all because of that damned scratch-off ticket shop!"

At the mention of the scratch-off ticket shop, Gaara's mind immediately conjured a face that looked harmless to humans and animals, yet was in fact utterly detestable.
