Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 212 The Final Battle

"I knew you wouldn't be so honest. After all, the reputation of you Iwagakure ninjas isn't even good enough to qualify for deposit-free services at underground exchange shops." Sasuke said calmly, looking at the gathering mud.

“That’s true, but what are you going to do now, bro?” Kurotsuchi didn’t care about Sasuke’s words. Instead, she looked at Sasuke, who was now only able to stand on his own two feet, with a smile. “You are fast, but in this environment, you can only be slaughtered by others.”

"Hehe, Hokage, it seems my granddaughter won this match." In the VIP room, Onoki said with a smile.

"That's hard to say, Lord Tsuchikage." Uchiha Touko smiled as he looked at Sasuke, who was calm and unhurried in the scene. Based on his understanding of his disciple, Sasuke knew from the beginning that Kurotsuchi had ill intentions, so if he dared to jump into this trap, then he must have been prepared.

"Hmph, two despicable bastards, do you really want to argue about who's better?" Ai sneered from the side. In this Chunin Exam, the ninjas of Kumogakure were arguably the most disgraceful among the major ninja villages. Not to mention the infighting they displayed in front of the leaders of the major ninja forces in the ninja world, even in a clash of high-level combat power, their village's strongest ninja of this generation, Omoi, was completely defeated by Uchiha Sasuke. What's even more unacceptable is that Sasuke defeated them in Kumogakure's proud Lightning Release and swordsmanship.

At that moment, Kurotsuchi released a signal flare, and the Iwagakure team, who had been lying in ambush, emerged from the dense forest and unleashed a large-scale Earth Release ninjutsu, targeting Sasuke in the field.

"Bye-bye, Uchiha's little brother?" Kurotsuchi waved to Sasuke with a wicked grin.

At this moment, Sasuke, whose feet were stuck to the cement of the Lava Release, smiled. Facing the whistling Earth Dragon Bullet, he twisted his body and threw the long sword in his hand behind him. Then, with a bang, he turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared from the spot.

"What? A shadow clone?" After the giant earth dragon landed in the air, Kurotsuchi looked at everything that had happened in disbelief. So the one who had fought so hard with the genius genin from Kumogakure was just a shadow clone?

boom!
Colorful flares exploded in the air, and Sasuke's real body appeared together with Neji and Naruto who had arrived from the other side. He caught the ninja sword that his shadow clone had just thrown. The hidden Konoha genin squad also appeared and came behind Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji.

"As expected, you never intended to cooperate with us properly from the beginning." Upon seeing this, Kurotsuchi took a deep breath and said.

“Likewise,” Sasuke said.

"Looks like we'll have to see who's the real deal when it comes down to it," Heitu said, as a layer of black rock appeared on his hands.

"The Will of Stone belongs to Iwagakure and is with us!"

At that moment, Sasuke also drew his sword and pointed it at the enemy's battle formation, declaring, "The Will of Fire will never be extinguished!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, everyone in the arena shouted and charged towards the enemy formation.

"Watch out! Something's moving underground!" Hinata shouted.

As soon as Hinata finished speaking, a wave of earth suddenly rose from the ground, black soil leaped high, and a black rock fist slammed down onto the ground.

Behind her, the Iwagakure ninja simultaneously formed hand seals, and eighteen rock pillars burst forth from the ground, forming a ferocious wolf head totem in the air.

"Earth Release: Rock Iron Wolf Fang Formation!"

"Scatter!" Lightning flashed and chirps rang out around Sasuke. Thick purple electric light clung to the long sword in his hand, and with a single strike, he cleaved through the first wave of rock spikes.

"Neji! Hinata!" Shikamaru shouted from among the Konoha members who were forced to scatter by the rock spikes that burst from the ground.

Neji and Hinata reunited amidst the chaos of battle. Using the Bagua stance, they struck the rock wall with punches and palms. Where their hands landed, the chakra injected through their Gentle Fist technique created spiderweb-like cracks in the rock.

"Konosuke, prepare your Sarutobi clan's combined Fire Release technique. Goro, prepare your Water Release ninjutsu as well!" Shikamaru's voice rang in everyone's ears through Ino's secret technique.

"Naruto, the most troublesome one is yours. Be careful not to get stuck in his Lava Release: Limestone!"

"Understood!" A golden figure burst out from the formation and went straight for Black Soil.

"Kurotsuchi, your opponent is me!" Naruto's body was moving at high speed, and sharp wind-style chakra was constantly cutting into his body, but in return, he achieved a speed that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Before Heitu could react, a fist the size of a sandbag was already upon him.

"So fast?" Kurotsuchi gritted her teeth and raised her arms to block, the black rock blocking Naruto's fist.

boom!
The two were knocked back by the impact of the collision. After regaining her balance, Heitu shook her slightly sore and numb arm. The essence rock attached to her arm had been completely shattered by the attack.

However, Naruto's next attack arrived just then. Suddenly, the ground in front of Kurotsuchi turned into mud, and from within the mud, a hand reached out, trying to grab Naruto's ankle. But as the hand approached Naruto's body, the sharp wind-style chakra left several fine cuts on his palm. This was already the result of the attacker withdrawing his hand extremely quickly; if it had been delayed even a moment longer, the man's palm would probably have been finely sliced ​​into minced meat by the wind-style chakra.

"Don't worry about me! Go support the combination ninjutsu!" Kurotsuchi said to her companions who wanted to come to her aid, while forming hand seals to summon an earthen wall in front of her.

The makeshift earthen wall in front of them didn't last long before Naruto shattered it. Kurotsuchi, looking at the raging wind-style chakra surrounding the blond-haired guy, couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Are there really people in this ninja world who can develop wind-style ninjutsu? What kind of beast is Deidara's little brother?!"

Both sides' combined ninjutsu was already in the preparation stage, but it was clear that neither Iwagakure nor Konoha wanted to see the other side's combined ninjutsu successfully released. The assault teams and the squads left behind to defend were engaged in close combat next to their respective artillery ninjas.

"Third Gate - Gate of Life Open! Inner Lotus!" Li Yi, his body radiating green steam, charged into the enemy ranks first. The Iwagakure garrison immediately surrounded him, intending to teach this reckless fellow a lesson.

A giant rock burst forth from the ground, forming a cage that enveloped Xiao Li. Trapped within, Xiao Li didn't think twice and punched the wall in front of him.

No matter what situation he faces, he has a pair of iron fists to break through.

However, before Xiao Li's fist could land on the rock wall, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned into mud, and without support, Xiao Li instantly lost his balance.

From the mud beneath his feet, a murderous intent also emerged. Several hands holding kunai reached out from beside Xiao Li and stabbed at his vital points.

At this critical moment, a swarm of insects, darkening the sky, rushed towards the rock cage, gnawing a small hole in the rock wall that trapped Xiao Li. From behind, a golden chain entered through the gap bitten by the insects, wrapped around the already injured Xiao Li, and dragged him out of the encirclement.

"Don't be so reckless!" Karin complained as she tossed Lee to Sakura using the Kongo Lock chains.

After Sakura took Lee's hand, green light emanated from her palm, and she immediately began treating Lee's injuries.

Such conspicuous behavior naturally attracted the attention of Iwagakure. After all, it was rather disrespectful for a medical ninja to heal her teammates in the midst of the enemy's ranks. It was rumored that only Tsunade, the medical saint of the ninja world, had the ability to do such a thing. Did this woman really think she was Tsunade?

A member of the Iwagakure gang roared and charged at Sakura, his kunai aimed straight for her back.

"Shut up!" Sakura turned around and punched the attacker's head into the ground. The attacker's summoning bracelet was instantly activated, and supplies were scattered all over the ground.

Oh no, this woman really does look a bit like the legendary Tsunade!
The remaining Iwagakure members were startled, but at that moment, Neji, wielding a long staff, descended from the sky and filled the gap behind Sakura.

Sarutobi Konosuke and two other clansmen were rapidly forming complex hand seals, while a squad led by a genin named Yamagami Goro was preparing a combination water-style ninjutsu.

At this moment, two Iwagakure (hidden rock ninja) emerged from underground, intending to interrupt the process. However, as soon as they appeared, two dark figures clung to their bodies like maggots.

"Partial Multiplication Technique!" Two enormous hands descended from the sky, striking the attacker who was restrained by the Shadow Binding Technique from the left and right.

Seeing this, the other Iwagakure members stopped hiding and emerged from the ground to help their bound teammates escape danger. However, when they all appeared, many strange runes suddenly appeared under their feet, and in no time, their chakra was completely out of their control.

"Miss Kurotsuchi! We can't hold on much longer!" At this moment, the Iwagakure, who was guarding the group that was charging up a combination of ninjutsu, was finally unable to hold back and shouted to Kurotsuchi after being pushed back by the Konoha's assault team.

"Release it directly!" Kurotsuchi was completely overwhelmed by Naruto's relentless attacks and couldn't even lift her head.

"But, if we release it now, in terms of power..."

"I said, release it directly!" Kurotsuchi said through gritted teeth after struggling to withstand Naruto's barrage of attacks.

"Yes! Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!" Upon receiving the order, the turret team released the ninjutsu, which was not even half-charged. A several-meter-high earth dragon rose up and spewed out a huge chakra rock ball towards the gathering place of Konoha ninjas.

"Konosuke!" Shikamaru turned to look at Sarutobi Konosuke beside him upon seeing this.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique".

The three Sarutobi clan ninjas, their chakra linked together, opened their mouths simultaneously and spewed out blazing flames. The flames surged and converged, coalescing into a giant fire dragon that roared towards the opponent's Earth Dragon Bullet.
