The third round of the Chunin Ninja Exams, the elimination rounds, has finally ended. Those who successfully advanced this time can be considered to have one foot in the finals.
These candidates will need another month to recover so they can be in the best possible condition for the upcoming exams.
The winners for this victory are: Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, Temari, Gaara, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, Dosu, Ino Yamanaka, and Kiba Inuzuka.
Why didn't Ino and Sakura Haruno fight to a draw?
The reason is that the two have different crushes. Sakura Haruno still likes Sasuke, while Ino likes Naruto now. In the end, Sakura Haruno didn't successfully unleash her full power, so how could she be a match for Ino, a scion of a powerful clan?
He was ultimately defeated by Ino and lost his chance to advance.
On the training field, Kakashi calmly looked at the three people in front of him and sighed helplessly.
The reason was simple: aside from Hinata, he really didn't know what to teach the other two little ones.
Naruto already taught Sasuke Chidori, so what, was he going to teach Sasuke how to use the Sharingan? That would be no different from reversing the Heavenly Principles.
As for Naruto? That kid gave Kakashi a terrifying feeling, not only because of his strength, but also because of his outrageously ridiculous talent.
Naruto can learn some Ninjutsu just by looking at them, and some of them are even much stronger than the Ninjutsu he uses.
After teaching Naruto a few times, Kakashi fell silent. He had nothing more to teach Naruto; it was too discouraging.
"Sigh, whatever, you guys do what you want, just don't bother me while I'm watching 'Icha Icha Paradise '."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he found a shady spot, lay down, and started looking at his "Icha Icha Paradise.
As expected, "Icha Icha Paradise" is still the most comfortable to look at.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata looked at each other, then at each other, and then at each other's faces.
The scene fell silent for a moment, but Naruto couldn't stand it any longer.
"Alright, you two get ready, let's go together."
As Naruto said this, he cracked his joints, making a popping sound.
Sasuke and Hinata exchanged a glance and nodded. Without needing many words, after so much time working together, teammates could convey their thoughts with just a look.
Sasuke quickly approached Naruto, Hinata behind him pulled out a coin, and the Railgun provided cover.
Naruto smiled as he watched the Railgun flying towards him, and then imbued his palm with Chakra.
" Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists "
Two golden lion heads appeared in Naruto's hands, colliding with the coin carrying the Railgun cannon, making a series of loud bangs.
" The Chakra density is still insufficient."
Naruto casually commented, "I've sent another coin flying."
Sasuke, on the other side, also arrived in front of Naruto. Chidori suddenly appeared in his hand and was aimed directly at Naruto's throat, a killing move from the start.
Naruto removed the lion's head from his hands, Sharingan Naruto appeared in his eyes.
Sasuke's movements appeared extremely slow in his field of vision.
He seized Sasuke's wrist and applied slight pressure, causing Sasuke to release his grip in pain, and the Chidori in his hand dissipated.
" Uchiha Sasuke, unless you're absolutely certain, you shouldn't get close. Your Chidori has too many openings."
Sasuke, forced back, wasn't angry. He just breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. Luckily, Naruto wasn't serious. Otherwise, if Naruto had suddenly attacked, Sasuke would have been unable to fight.
It seems like today is the day of the Education Bureau.
"Damn it, want to try that move?"
Sasuke was still hesitant because he hadn't fully mastered this technique yet.
Sasuke has also developed a unique understanding of lightning-style Chakra transformations, but he is still somewhat lacking in the development of certain Ninjutsu.
Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear
Lightning, sharp as a knife, slashed down fiercely towards Naruto's location.
Naruto was somewhat surprised to see this; he hadn't expected Sasuke to develop this Ninjutsu so early. Although the Ninjutsu still had some flaws, his spirit was commendable.
There is no end to learning Ninjutsu. If you keep learning, you will be a student for life. But if you can develop your own techniques, you will no longer be a student, and your status will change.
It is the transformation from student to master.
Clearly, Sasuke already possesses the basic form of this, which makes Naruto very pleased. However, this Chidori Sharp Spear is simply too weak.
Just then, Naruto, still with his Sharingan activated, was seized by a mischievous impulse. He copied Sasuke's Chidori Sharp Spear and slowly slashed down at Sasuke's location.
Naruto was worried that his attack speed was too fast and he'd be wiped out by Sasuke; he couldn't just speedrun through Hokage, could he?
Naruto now believes he might not be able to achieve invincibility in the Shinobi World. What about external enemies?
Therefore, Naruto always maintained a calm mindset and didn't get carried away. His system wasn't a cultivation system, so he needed to be a little timid.
Although Naruto's attack speed wasn't fast, it didn't mean its power was weak. With a loud bang, Naruto's attack struck the ground directly.
It kicked up clouds of dust.
"Cough cough, what a terrifying attack."
Sasuke looked at the spot where he had just been standing; it had been blasted open with a large hole.
But the fighting will not stop there.
Hinata had already gone to meet her.
With her Gentle Fist combined with her Byakugan, Hinata swiftly struck Naruto's pressure points, and just when Hinata thought she was about to succeed...
Suddenly, Naruto exploded into a cloud of white smoke.
"It's Shadow Clone."
Hinata Byakugan to quickly survey her surroundings, searching for Naruto.
"Watch out, behind you."
Sasuke spoke up to remind him.
"Hehe, it's late."
Naruto's tone carried a hint of slyness that was barely perceptible.
" Our Love Stronger Than Gold Seven-Day Lock."
After this remark was made, Hinata's face turned completely red, and she just stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move.
Seeing that Hinata had lost her ability to fight, another Shadow Clone appeared, rushing towards Sasuke with an unfriendly expression.
Upon seeing this, Sasuke quickly ran away; Naruto, that guy, clearly had ill intentions.
"Damn it, don't come any closer!"
But how could Sasuke possibly escape?
" Our Love Stronger Than Gold Seven-Day Lock."
The same technique, different target, different treatment— Sasuke felt like he couldn't breathe.
He was being choked by Naruto, but what about Hinata? Naruto was just holding Hinata from behind, and Hinata wasn't moving at all?
"No? Dude, is this right?"
Sasuke felt like something was off; he felt like he was being treated differently.
Kakashi watched from the sidelines, speechless. Why did the battles always end in such a joking manner?
But the Genin these days are terrifying; even Kakashi is starting to doubt whether letting them participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams was the right thing to do.
The training ground was riddled with craters of all sizes. The sheer destructive power was such that, without him saying anything, who would know it was the work of Genin?
