I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Chapter 157 Two-Tomoe Sharingan (First and Second Update)

The second round came to a quick end.

Apart from Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, Kitazawa did not engage in any underhanded dealings.

Because it is not necessary.

The practical exam is not like the Chunin Exams where losing means elimination; instead, students with high scores advance to the next round.

As long as you have enough strength, you will advance to the third round regardless of winning or losing.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

The list for this third round is basically the same as the one from the last monthly exam.

Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Aburame Shino, Kurama Yakumo, Hyuga Hinata, Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Inuzuka Kiba.

Yamanaka Ino and Inuzuka Kiba are new additions.

After a month of intensive training, although they did not learn any new ninjutsu, their skills improved significantly, and they therefore received high scores.

Only Sakura Haruno and Choji Akimichi did not advance to the third round.

The former is because medical ninjas are not good at fighting.

The latter is because they haven't mastered the family's secret techniques yet.

"Those who have advanced to the third round, please come up and draw lots."

After the break, Kitazawa took out the lottery box again.

"I definitely won't draw Sasuke this round!"

Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fist and said.

He couldn't believe he was so unlucky as to draw Uchiha Sasuke twice.

"So, who do you want to draw?"

"I asked Shino Aburame in a calm tone."

"I want to smoke..."

Inuzuka suddenly got stuck.

Of the eight students in the third round, he was the weakest.

His best chances of winning are against Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino.

He couldn't beat any of the others.

"Making it to the third round is a victory."

Kiba Inuzuka immediately felt relieved, "It doesn't matter who I draw."

"It's okay, maybe you'll be the one to draw my name."

Nara Shikamaru said reassuringly.

To be honest, he also wanted to get Kiba Inuzuka.

There's no way around it; apart from Kiba Inuzuka and Ino Yamanaka, none of them are human—they're all freaks with cheat codes.

Uchiha Sasuke did not participate in the discussion and walked straight forward.

He wanted to draw Naruto Uzumaki.

Although he had lost to him before, he was not convinced.

In his view, if Naruto hadn't inexplicably broken the genjutsu, he would have been the victor.

Number One?

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the number on the note and thought to himself that there was hope.

Since Naruto was number one in the first and second rounds, he might be number one in the third round as well.

That way, they can have another match.

He wanted to see if Naruto Uzumaki could break his genjutsu again.

"Sasuke, what's your number?"

Naruto stepped forward, extending his hand to draw a lot while asking a question.

"Number one."

"That's what Uchiha Sasuke replied."

"Huh? I'm number two."

Naruto looked at the small note in his hand and said with some regret.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly felt somewhat bored.

"I'm number one."

Kurama Yakumo suddenly spoke.

Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously raised his head.

Although Naruto Uzumaki was his formidable rival, Yakumo Kurama was no less formidable, and arguably even more troublesome.

Because he couldn't gain the upper hand in illusions.

Uchiha Sasuke instinctively gripped the small note tightly.

Are we going to lose another game?
No, if Naruto Uzumaki could defeat Yakumo Kurama, so can he.

Kurama Yakumo only possesses genjutsu, while he, in addition to genjutsu, also has taijutsu and fire jutsu.

"Hahaha! I'm number three!"

Kiba Inuzuka immediately burst into laughter.

He managed to avoid three formidable enemies—Uchiha Sasuke, Kurama Yakumo, and Uzumaki Naruto—in one fell swoop, which is truly commendable.

Who is number three?

After Kiba Inuzuka finished laughing, he couldn't wait to ask again.

"Yes... it's me."

Hinata Hyuga's soft voice rang out.

"alright."

Kiba Inuzuka's lips twitched, feeling that he had just laughed for nothing; his luck hadn't changed.

"I'm going to fight Naruto? Really?"

Nara Shikamaru stared in astonishment at the number two in his hand.

"So my opponent is Shino?"

Yamanaka Ino decisively said, "I'll admit defeat then."

Even if she managed to control Shino Aburame with her Mind Transfer Technique, it wouldn't help, because he still had a large number of parasitic insects.

"The draw is over."

Kitazawa put away the lottery box and said, "Please come up, the two students who drew number one."

Uchiha Sasuke and Kurama Yakumo slowly walked into the arena.

"A clash between two great illusionary bloodline limits?"

A burst of anticipation in Shino Aburame's eyes as she said, "It's sure to be amazing."

"It's exciting, but the battles of illusion ninjas aren't very audience-friendly."

Kiba Inuzuka shook his head and said.

"That's true."

Yamanaka Ino agreed.

Illusions mostly work on the visual senses, that is, the eyes.

As spectators, they are not drawn into the illusion and therefore cannot see the intense battle within it.

"Sasuke-kun, will you win?"

Sakura Haruno asked with a worried expression.

Although she was very confident in Uchiha Sasuke, the battle between Kurama Yakumo and Uzumaki Naruto during the last monthly exam was truly frightening.

"There is hope of winning."

After a moment's thought, Nara Shikamaru said, "Only Sasuke can break Yakumo's genjutsu like Naruto does."

"Naruto."

Kiba Inuzuka asked curiously, "How did you break Yakumo's genjutsu?"

"I...I don't know either."

Naruto scratched his head and said.

Although he knew it was a tail that had lashed him, he had no idea what that tail was.

He had been waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's answer, but a month had passed and he still hadn't come.

"You're really lucky."

Kiba Inuzuka remarked with a sigh.

Naruto Uzumaki never lies; if he says he doesn't know, then he really doesn't know.

The only explanation is good luck.

"The battle begins!"

Kitazawa's words interrupted their discussion.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Kurama Yakumo and Uchiha Sasuke on the field.

"You are very strong, so I will go all out."

Kurama Yakumo said with a serious expression.

Having been classmates for almost two semesters, she knew very well Uchiha Sasuke's strength.

He's good at genjutsu, fire jutsu, and taijutsu, making him more well-rounded than Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.

After fighting Naruto Uzumaki, Yakumo Kurama realized his weakness: his physical condition was poor.

While the illusion technique is quite good, throwing the painting takes a certain amount of time.

Sasuke Uchiha has the Sharingan, so he can easily predict her movements.

The best approach is to go all out from the start.

"That's how it should be."

Sasuke Uchiha was startled, but his expression remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly.

However, his next action revealed his true thoughts.

Illusion: Bubble!

Uchiha Sasuke immediately activated his Sharingan and formed hand seals.

If it were Naruto Uzumaki or Hinata Hyuga, he would find an opportunity to use genjutsu again.

But Yakumo Kurama doesn't need to.

Because she doesn't know any martial arts and isn't fast, she probably won't be able to dodge it.

Kurama Yakumo's body stiffened, his vision blurred, and Uchiha Sasuke instantly transformed into a sky full of crows.

The next second, the crows turned into shuriken, covering her completely.

Kurama Yakumo instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Two shuriken slashed across her legs, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

"I won! Hahaha!"

Uchiha Sasuke stepped forward, pointed his shuriken at her, and couldn't help but smile wildly.

"Sasuke-kun, what are you laughing at?"

Sakura Haruno, standing outside the arena, asked in confusion.

From her perspective, Uchiha Sasuke and Kurama Yakumo stood still after entering the arena and did not move.

Just now, Uchiha Sasuke inexplicably started laughing.

"Because he was under an illusion."

Nara Shikamaru exclaimed, "Yakumo's genjutsu is truly terrifying."

"How is that possible? When did Sasuke fall under the genjutsu? How come I didn't know?"

Sakura Haruno's eyes widened in surprise as she asked.

"It should be when Sasuke says his first words."

Aburame Shino said thoughtfully.

"It seems that Naruto's method is the most correct. He used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique as soon as he entered the field."

After Kiba Inuzuka finished speaking, he couldn't help but retort, "But we can't use this method."

Naruto Uzumaki's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique has surpassed that of an average Jonin.

They simply cannot replicate it.

"Let's just admit defeat against Yakumo."

Nara Shikamaru said nonchalantly, "At least we saved time and chakra."

Kurama Yakumo's genjutsu originates from her bloodline limit, requiring no hand seals whatsoever, making it virtually impossible to defend against.

"What should we do about Sasuke?"

Sakura Haruno's heart leaped into her throat.

"If he can still realize that he is under an illusion, there is hope for him to turn the tide."

Nara Shikamaru pondered for a moment before speaking.

On the field, or more accurately, in the illusion.

"You win, Sasuke."

Kurama Yakumo covered the wound on his leg and said.

"The winner is Uchiha Sasuke."

Kitazawa, who was not far away, promptly announced this.

Congratulations, Sasuke!

Sakura Haruno and the others gathered around.

As Sasuke Uchiha looked at the admiring gazes of the crowd, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

But I've already laughed hysterically, so it's not convenient for me to laugh hysterically again now.

Moreover, defeating Kurama Yakumo alone wasn't enough; he wanted to win big in one fell swoop. "Kitazawa-sensei, I want to challenge Naruto!"

Uchiha Sasuke said without hesitation.

"Naruto, will you accept his challenge?"

Kitazawa looked at Naruto Uzumaki and asked.

"I promise!"

Naruto Uzumaki walked into the center of the arena and excitedly shouted, "Come on, Sasuke!"

"I was just careless before, but you won't win this time!"

Sasuke Uchiha's face was full of confidence.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Naruto's response was simple.

Bang bang bang!
Numerous shadow clones appeared.

Uchiha Sasuke and many Uzumaki Narutos were locked in a fierce battle.

Although he was at a disadvantage, the smile on his lips remained.

Because this battle is no different from the last one.

Naruto Uzumaki is indeed a battle idiot; he hasn't improved at all.

But at that moment, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly frowned.

He sensed something was off, as if something was amiss.

While pondering, Sasuke Uchiha dodged Naruto Uzumaki's whirlwind kick.

As he dodged, he formed a hand seal and spat out a large fireball.

In an instant, many of Naruto's shadow clones were destroyed.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but catch his breath.

He had fought two battles in a row, and both battles had lasted for so long, his chakra was already on the verge of danger.

"There's only one chance left!"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naruto Uzumaki with a serious expression.

He wanted to find his true form, just like before, and control him with illusions.

and many more!

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly realized what was happening.

He knew where the problem lay.

Naruto Uzumaki never uttered those two words, "youth," from beginning to end.

Sasuke Uchiha's face stiffened at this thought.

For Naruto Uzumaki, there's only one possibility for not shouting the word 'youth': he's not real.

In other words, he was still in the illusion.

Uchiha Sasuke was immediately embarrassed, his face turning red.

As an Uchiha, he was under the influence of genjutsu for so long, and it's only now that he's realized what's happening.

How disappointed his father and brother would be if they found out.

Sasuke Uchiha immediately broke away from his battle with Naruto Uzumaki and ran towards Yakumo Kurama.

Did I give myself away somewhere?

Kurama Yakumo stood up and asked curiously.

Her previously injured legs were now fully recovered.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"It's okay if you don't answer."

Kurama Yakumo smiled and said, "You should admit defeat, Sasuke."

"The Uchiha never admit defeat."

"Uchiha Sasuke said through gritted teeth."

"So how much chakra do you have left?"

Kurama Yakumo raised her hand, and thunderclouds gathered above her head, as if countless bolts of lightning would strike at any moment.

Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed, and he accelerated forward without hesitation.

"Konoha's great whirlwind!"

But on either side of him, countless Naruto Uzumaki surged toward him like a green tide.

"No!"

Sasuke Uchiha was overwhelmed by Naruto Uzumaki and his companions.

With a thought, Yakumo Kurama dispelled the illusion.

Naruto Uzumaki and his shadow clones disappeared.

Sasuke Uchiha collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Sasuke-kun, how are you?"

Sakura Haruno immediately ran up to her and asked.

"Are you... are you real or fake?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked instinctively.

"what?"

Sakura Haruno looked completely bewildered.

“Our battle is over, she is real.”

Kurama Yakumo said in a gentle tone.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha was stunned for a moment, feeling utterly lost and disoriented.

He was beaten unconscious by Naruto Uzumaki and his shadow clones in the illusion.

But now, he has no injuries.

Then there's only one possibility: he broke free from the illusion and returned to reality.

Yes, it's over. The battle is over, and his life is over too.

He failed the monthly exam twice in a row and didn't know how to face his father and brother.

I don't understand! I don't get it!
Sasuke Uchiha instinctively pressed his forehead, a surge of emotions welling up inside him, making him feel as if his eyes were about to burst.

"Sasuke-kun?"

Sakura Haruno felt her breath catch in her throat.

Kurama Yakumo showed a surprised expression.

In her view, Sasuke Uchiha, who had almost used up his chakra, was now surging with Yin Release power.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

Is his Sharingan about to advance? He truly lives up to his reputation as one of the original protagonists.

Kitazawa stood aside, pondering, but the power of Yin Release did not last long and soon dissipated.

Uchiha Sasuke stood up, deactivated his one-tomoe Sharingan, and left the arena expressionlessly.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems there's still a gap.

Either the emotions weren't strong enough, or Uchiha Sasuke was too young and lacked the necessary foundation.

"The victor is Kurama Yakumo."

Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "The two students who drew number two, please prepare for the exam."

"I surrender."

Nara Shikamaru raised his hand and said nonchalantly.

His goal from the beginning has always been to reach the third round.

Besides, his opponent is Naruto Uzumaki, how can he possibly win?
Since the outcome is going to be a loss anyway, I might as well just admit defeat.

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki said regretfully, "I wanted to fight Shikamaru."

Nara Shikamaru's lips twitched.

Is that a single fight? That's a gang brawl!

"I also admit defeat."

Kiba Inuzuka thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said.

He is number three, and his opponent is Hinata Hyuga.

Everyone knows that Gentle Fist is the nemesis of Taijutsu ninjas.

He doesn't have a dog now; he's just a pure taijutsu ninja. Facing Hinata Hyuga would be pure torture for him.

"me too!"

Yamanaka Ino quickly replied.

"Today's practical test is now over."

Seeing this, Kitazawa announced, "Everyone, take a short break. The rankings will be announced soon."

"Senior Kitazawa."

Umino Iruka asked with a subtle expression, "Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to just admit defeat?"

"There's nothing wrong with it; having self-awareness is a good thing."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"How should the student who admits defeat be graded?"

Umino Iruka asked again.

"Just score them based on their performance in the first two rounds."

Kitazawa said casually.

"it is good."

Iruka Umino didn't ask any more questions, took the roster from Kitazawa, and began the overall ranking.

"Sasuke, come here for a second."

Kitazawa looked at the dazed Uchiha Sasuke and called out.

"Sasuke-kun, Kitazawa-sensei wants to see you."

Sakura Haruno quickly reminded her.

She had just tried to comfort Sasuke Uchiha, but it had no effect.

If it were Kitazawa-sensei, maybe it would work.

Sasuke Uchiha came to his senses.

He stood up and walked towards Kitazawa.

"Congratulations, Sasuke."

Kitazawa patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Congratulations?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.

He didn't know what was there to congratulate about losing two games in a row.

"Haven't you noticed that you've gotten a lot stronger?"

Kitazawa countered with a question.

"I?"

Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists instinctively.

Reminded by Kitazawa, he did indeed discover something unusual about his body.

Especially the Sharingan.

He felt at least one-fifth stronger than before.

What's happening here?
"Intense battles can make you stronger. You're not far from getting the two-tomoe Sharingan."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

Two-tomoe Sharingan?

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up immediately.

With each additional tomoe (comma-shaped mark) in the Sharingan, the user's power will experience a phased increase.

They can be roughly divided into one-tomoe genin, two-tomoe chunin, and three-tomoe jonin.

If he can't beat Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama with one tomoe, does that mean he can't even beat them with two tomoe?
"Teacher Kitazawa."

Sasuke Uchiha took a deep breath and said, "I want to become stronger and undergo more rigorous training."

His current special training focuses on practicing Fire Release chakra nature transformation.

It seems that progress has been a bit slow.

[Current Mission: Help Uchiha Sasuke awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan.]

[Mission Reward: Two-Tomoe Sharingan.]

【Whether to accept? 】

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

He had thought that Sasuke Uchiha's mission would be to defeat Yakumo Kurama or Naruto Uzumaki, but he didn't expect it to be the Sharingan with two tomoe.

However, the mission rewards are quite good.

Kitazawa naturally chose to accept.
