Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 205 Sasuke VS Omoi

"The third gate, the gate of life, open!" Li's skin began to swell with blood, then he stomped the ground hard, and his figure suddenly blurred.

In the next instant, he appeared before the enemy, his whip kick carrying the weight of a thousand pounds. The Cloud Villager he had targeted tried to block with a kunai, but this scavenged, standard kunai seemed no different from paper in front of Lee's heavy, weighted kick. As the kunai shattered, the person struck was sent flying backward, crashing through several large trees before regaining his footing. At the same time, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.

However, while he was blocked by Lee, the other two simultaneously set their sights on Sakura. Two shuriken flew over and collided in mid-air before shooting towards Sakura at strange angles.

Sakura calculated the trajectory of the two shuriken almost instantly and dodged them. But the real danger came from above. A figure crackling with lightning appeared instantly and slashed down with a short sword.

Sakura quickly took two steps back, the blade grazing her nose as it fell, narrowly avoiding the attack. However, a few strands of hair on Sakura's forehead were scattered by the cold glint of the blade.

"Tch," the Cloud Village genin scoffed as he retreated after missing his target. "I'm really not used to using this saber I picked up. If it were my own saber, you'd be a corpse by now."

However, at this moment, Sakura's expression clearly darkened, and several veins bulged on her large forehead.

"Damn it, how dare they touch my hair! Do you know how much effort I put into protecting it?" Sakura roared furiously, her body now completely under the control of her second personality, which was usually suppressed by knowledge.

Boom boom boom boom boom! Sakura transformed into a pink phantom and rushed straight towards her opponent. Large cracks appeared in the ground as she passed by. The huge commotion startled the genin who had almost succeeded in his sneak attack. However, in the next instant, Sakura's figure appeared in front of him.

"Cherry blossom rush!"

With an angry roar, a fist surging with massive amounts of chakra was already upon them.

In his panic, the Cloud Village genin could only use the Substitution Jutsu to defend himself. However, Sakura's punch slammed into the ground along with his Substitution Jutsu, causing a deafening roar. After the dust settled, a huge crater in the ground was clearly visible.

Yun Yin, who had narrowly escaped, swallowed hard. He didn't even dare to think about what would have happened if that punch had landed on him.

However, Sakura didn't seem to want to give him any chance to catch his breath. After missing her first attack, she immediately attacked him again. Even with his mastery of ninjutsu, he dared not confront this terrifying power head-on.

Meanwhile, the leaders of various factions in the VIP room who were watching the battle all showed expressions of astonishment. Onoki even asked directly, "Hokage, you call this a medical ninja?"

“Yes, a medical ninja,” Uchiha Touko nodded. “Tsunade’s personal disciple. Her medical skills are already comparable to many veteran doctors who have worked in Konoha Hospital for many years.”

"So you're Tsunade's personal disciple? No wonder." Ai's face twitched, and it took him a long time to squeeze out this sentence. After all, it was not a pleasant feeling to be slapped in the face in less than 3 minutes after pretending for so long.

Their Cloud Village's prized Lightning Release ninjutsu did not gain any advantage against Konoha's taijutsu ninjas.

On the other side, the last person who was originally planning to ambush Karin also had to go to support his teammate. There was no other way; if he didn't go, that person would be severely injured and summoned by Sakura, who was enraged because of the damage to her precious hair.

Seeing this, Onoki couldn't help but shake his head. It was obvious that these young people had never witnessed the terror of the Uzumaki clan. If he were in that position, he would rather believe that his teammates could hold on a little longer than let the Uzumaki clan build the sealing technique without any hindrance.

Sure enough, in no time, many sealing techniques emerged from the ground in the area where the battlefield was located, centered on Karin. The genin who was still enduring his injuries and fighting with Lee saw that the situation was not good. He was about to jump up a tree to get away from these things, but the strange runes that emerged from the ground clung to him like maggots, attaching themselves to his body.

The person who was hit suddenly realized that he could no longer mobilize his chakra, and the next second, Lee's whip kick landed on his face.

The psychic spell on the bracelet activated at that moment, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a pile of previously collected resources.

Meanwhile, the other two who were barely managing to hold off Sakura were also sent off the field almost instantly by Sakura's monstrous strength after their chakra was sealed. The one who came to help was alright; Sakura gave him a quick death. But the Cloud Ninja who had initially angered her was punished after triggering the summoning spell on his bracelet, and Sakura followed up with a punch.

After this guy was sent to Konoha Hospital by a summoning jutsu, the doctor who received him was also shocked by the extent of his injuries.

"This isn't right. Logically speaking, with injuries like this, the bracelet's summoning jutsu should have been triggered by now," the medical ninja who was treating the injuries said with a frown as he worked on the device.

At the same time, in the Scientific Ninja Tool Research Institute, which was also watching the match, Tono Fusuke shrank back after seeing Sakura's brutal performance, and then wrote down his improvement ideas: "It seems that we need to add some protective measures to the bracelet to ensure the user's safety before the summoning jutsu is triggered and the user is teleported away."

"Sealing Technique!" Ai looked at Karin on the monitor, who had single-handedly brought this battle to a close. His expression turned serious. Karin had demonstrated the role of a sealing technique master on the battlefield to the fullest. He finally understood why the Uzumaki clan, a single ninja clan, was able to support the defense of an entire country.

However, before Ai could even think of how to handle such a situation on the battlefield in the future, the screen in the VIP room suddenly changed its display.

At the resource-rich supply point marked on the map, the three most elite squads from Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure clashed head-on, forming a standoff.

At the center of the three squads, a ninja sword, clearly made of chakra metal, was stuck in the ground, emitting a chilling gleam.

It was obvious that Sasuke and Omoi of Kumogakure both had their eyes on this chakra ninja sword. Although the quality of this ninja sword was much worse than their usual swords, it was probably the best sword in the entire examination hall. With this ninja sword, they would be more confident in the upcoming battle.

As for the Kurotsuchi squad from Iwagakure, they didn't have any ninjas skilled in swordsmanship. They joined in purely for fun and to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

If it were only the Kumogakure team, Sasuke might have immediately attacked, as he was determined to obtain the ninja sword. However, the presence of the Kurotsuchi squad lurking nearby forced Sasuke to temporarily suppress his intentions. He hadn't seen this Kumogakure squad before and didn't know their strength, but since they dared to come to this resource-rich area marked on the map, their strength must be considerable. If he couldn't quickly eliminate them, the Kurotsuchi squad from Iwagakure would benefit. And Kurotsuchi, as the Tsuchikage's granddaughter, coupled with Deidara's strength as a reference, was likely quite powerful.

“No one else is approaching for now.” Neji surveyed the surroundings and said in a low voice, “There’s a set of high-quality alloy shuriken kits in a wooden crate 170 meters to the northwest. Should we use this information to lure this Iwagakure squad away?”

Just as Sasuke and Neji were discussing their battle plan, Naruto, who was usually carefree, waved to Kurotsuchi.

"Sister Kurotsuchi, long time no see!" Although he had only met Kurotsuchi once before, she was the junior sister of his good brother Deidara, so he naturally had to greet her now that they met.

“Oh, it’s Naruto’s little brother,” Kurotsuchi said, smiling as she looked at Naruto who was grinning and greeting her. “It has been a long time, hasn’t it?”

"Naruto, ask her if she wants to join forces?" Kurotsuchi's attitude towards Naruto gave Sasuke another option besides a direct attack, so he whispered to Naruto.

Naruto nodded, then said to Kurotsuchi, "Kurotsuchi-neechan, how about we team up and get this group of Kumogakure out of the exam hall?"

"Join forces?" Hei Tu smiled and nodded. "Sure, but could you tell me first where my idiot senior brother went?"

"Huh? You mean Deidara? I don't know him." Naruto scratched his head, pretending to be clueless.

However, at that moment, Omoi's team, who had overheard Naruto's conversation with Kurotsuchi, decided to strike first.

Omoi's figure suddenly vanished from his spot, transforming into a streak of lightning as he charged straight toward the ninja sword.

Sasuke opened and closed his eyes, revealing his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan, and almost instantly caught the opponent's movements.

Sasuke snorted and threw three shuriken, simultaneously manipulating their trajectories with a wire to block all of Omoi's angles, forcing him to abandon his attempt to draw his sword and turn to parry the shuriken with a kunai.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" After three crisp clashes, Omoi took a few steps back, reassessing his opponent. "As expected of the Uchiha clan, their shurikenjutsu is as precise as a work of art. But..."

Omoi's expression turned melancholy again. "For the sake of the battle ahead, I have to get this knife no matter what."

Sasuke didn't give his opponent any more time to think. He quickly charged forward and threw a straight punch at Omoi's face.

Omoi dodged to the side, and at the same time slashed his kunai at Sasuke's waist. Sasuke blocked with his kunai, and sparks flew as the metal clashed.

The two exchanged blows with lightning speed, and more than ten moves had already been made in the blink of an eye.

Sasuke discovered that this seemingly lazy Cloud Village ninja was not to be underestimated. The opponent could keep up with his speed, and in terms of strength, given that the opponent was also proficient in Lightning Release ninjutsu, his attacks could not forcefully break through the opponent's defense.

As for genjutsu, being a fellow practitioner of ninjutsu and taijutsu, Sasuke naturally understood that the opponent's chakra was surging violently, just like his own. Ordinary genjutsu wouldn't be able to do much to him. As for Sharingan genjutsu, the opponent was consciously avoiding his gaze while they were exchanging taijutsu. So, for the time being, Sasuke really couldn't find a way to quickly defeat his opponent.

However, under the threat of the Sharingan's genjutsu, Omoi, unable to unleash his full power, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in his taijutsu clash with Sasuke. Realizing he could no longer delay, he changed his move and created some distance between himself and Sasuke, putting away his kunai and rapidly forming hand seals.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!" Azure lightning surged from Omoi's feet toward Sasuke's location.

At that moment, Sasuke suddenly revealed a confident smile, "Want to test your ninjutsu against me? Then come on."

Sasuke bit the kunai with his mouth and rapidly formed hand seals.

"Thunder Release: Thunder Ball!"

The first Lightning Release ninjutsu Sasuke learned instantly created four deep purple lightning balls in front of him the moment he completed the hand seals. At the moment these four lightning balls appeared, both Omoi and the other two who were supporting him showed a look of surprise.

As the easiest introductory ninjutsu to learn among the lightning release techniques, this ninjutsu is practically commonplace in the ninja world. Those born in countries named after lightning are naturally familiar with this ninjutsu, and it was also this ninjutsu that they used to learn the basics of lightning release.

However, these four solid purple spheres in front of me, with plasma flowing on their surfaces, exude terrifying power just by standing in front of them. Is this really something a C-rank ninjutsu can do?

What Omoi didn't expect was that the four lightning orbs Sasuke summoned seemed to have a life of their own. Two of them sank directly after they were formed, blocking the path that Sasuke would inevitably take when he used Lightning Release: Earth Walk on the ground. The lightning generated by Lightning Release: Earth Walk was almost instantly absorbed when it came into contact with the two lightning orbs.

However, Omoi didn't even have time to be surprised, because the remaining two lightning balls had already rushed towards him.

Omoi retreated rapidly, but the two lightning balls relentlessly pursued him. The two lightning balls that had absorbed Lightning Release: Earth Walk also caught up and completely blocked Omoi's retreat.

"Such exquisite control over Lightning Release... It seems that among the Hokage's three disciples, this child from your clan is the one who truly inherited your skills." In the VIP room, Onoki couldn't help but admire Sasuke's mastery of a mere C-rank ninjutsu.
