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

Chapter 376 Uchiha Sasuke's Second Victory (5 chapters combined)
"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki's team!"

Kitazawa came out and announced the results.

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee immediately stopped spinning, and the two giant green dragons disappeared.

Normally, Konoha Dragon God is blue, but because they are wearing green bodysuits, the color has changed.

Are any of you injured?

Kitazawa looked at Hinata Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, and Haku.

"No."

The three of them shook their heads and said in unison.

"Then you can go and rest first."

Kitazawa watched the whole thing up close and knew they were indeed fine, so he didn't check.

Because he had one more thing to do, which was to make the barren, dead forest grow dense trees.

Wood Escape·The Tree Realm is born!

Kitazawa forms a hand seal.

Centered on him, the ground rose up, and one giant tree after another sprouted up.

In the blink of an eye, the area that Naruto had blown clean was once again covered by forest.

Luckily, he was a Wood Release ninja; anyone else would have been helpless.

If the Death Forest were to grow naturally, it would take at least several decades to recover to its original state.

Kitazawa did not leave immediately.

Under his control, the forest came to life and dragged back the trees that had been blown away.

These trees will decompose and eventually become nutrients.

Unlike other esoteric techniques, Wood Release is not made of inanimate objects.

The trees created by Wood Release are no different from trees in nature.

Even without chakra, it can continue to live.

After settling things off at the venue, Kitazawa turned and walked away.

Before long, he arrived in front of the students in the gifted class.

"The first round of the team battle has ended. The teams advancing to the second round are Naruto Uzumaki's team, Sasuke Uchiha's team, and Neji Hyuga's team."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Since there are three teams, one team will have a bye, which will be decided by the teachers through a vote."

Although the vote hasn't been held yet, he can already roughly guess which team will get a bye.

Most likely it's Naruto's team.

Because their team has the strongest overall strength.

"The second round will begin in half an hour."

Kitazawa continued, "You all should take this time to rest and recover your chakra."

"Yes, Mr. Kitazawa!"

Naruto and the others said in unison.

Kitazawa nodded and returned to the observation deck atop the wooden dragon.

"Kitazawa, did you devise the tactics for Naruto's team?"

Maruhoshi Kosuke asked curiously.

"Their team consists entirely of taijutsu ninjas, giving Hinata a huge advantage over them, especially since Jugo and Rock Lee are both pure taijutsu ninjas."

Kitazawa smiled and replied, "If Naruto doesn't do this, it will be very difficult for him to win."

Naruto Uzumaki's strength is indeed enough to withstand it.

But that would be too time-consuming. It's better to just use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique combined with Wind Release to solve it directly and simply.

Moreover, delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances, as Hinata Hyuga's team also includes Shikamaru Nara, who possesses exceptionally high intelligence.

What if he comes up with some idea that could cause Naruto's team to fail?

Then Kitazawa's system tasks could no longer be completed.

"The first round is over, let's not talk about that. Let's vote first. The team with the most votes will get a bye in the second round."

Kitazawa took out a stack of blank cards and handed them to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, and the others.

"There is a possibility that the six of you will get the same number of votes."

Tsunade held out her hand and said, "I'll vote too."

Kitazawa nodded and placed a small card in her palm.

After all the cards were distributed, everyone wrote down the names of the teams that would be skipped on the cards.

Kitazawa had already thought it through, so he wrote about Naruto's Uzumaki team.

He took out a lottery box and put the small cards inside.

After the others finished writing, they also put their answers into the lottery box.

“I’ll have Iruka count the votes.”

Kitazawa grabbed the ballot box and jumped down.

To ensure fairness, he gave the ballot box to Iruka Umino and asked him to announce the results.

"Naruto's team gets five votes, Sasuke's team gets one vote, Neji's team gets one vote, and Naruto's team gets a bye in the second round."

Iruka Umino announced.

Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.

They considered this result to be very good.

The most difficult opponent, Naruto's team, was saved for last.

They first decide the winner, then compete with the Vortex team for first place. Regardless of who wins or loses, there's nothing more to say.

Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head.

He didn't actually want to be left out.

After all, they played one less game.

But there was no other way now that things had come to this, and they could only wait for the Hyuga Neji team and the Uchiha Sasuke team to decide the outcome.

If Naruto Uzumaki had to choose, he would definitely choose Sasuke Uchiha's team.

Because it allows for close-quarters combat.

Neji Hyuga's squad is almost entirely composed of ranged attackers, making them quite troublesome to fight.

Unless we use the tactics taught by Kitazawa again.

But Naruto Uzumaki felt that wasn't satisfying enough; he preferred the more visceral, hand-to-hand combat.

"You all continue to rest."

Kitazawa returned to the observation deck atop the wooden dragon.

Time passes slowly.

Half an hour later, Maruboshi Kosuke and Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and entered the Forest of Death.

Accompanying them were the Uchiha Sasuke squad and the Hyuga Neji squad, whom they had been training.

"I feel that Neji's squad has a greater advantage."

Kiba Inuzuka watched them disappear into the Forest of Death and then asked, "What do you think?"

"I feel so too."

Choji Akimichi nodded and said.

In the first round of team battles, Hyuga Neji's team's performance left a very deep impression on them.

"Sasuke doesn't have Naruto's chakra, so he can't destroy the field."

Yamanaka Ino pondered for a moment and said, "I can't think of any way he could win."

"Sasuke may not be as strong as Yakumo, but he is more well-rounded and can use more tactics."

Nara Shikamaru pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, Neji's squad's tactics have already been exposed."

"Neji's squad's tactics are definitely centered around the Byakugan and the Life Feather Bow, so it's difficult to change them."

Aburame Shino echoed.

"From what you're saying, it sounds like Neji's team is going to lose?"

Kiba Inuzuka looked surprised and asked.

"That's not the case."

Nara Shikamaru casually remarked, "It's about even."

While they were discussing, Sasuke Uchiha's team was also having their own discussion.

"Sasuke-kun."

Sakura Haruno looked worried and asked, "How are we going to deal with Neji?"

The long-range attacks of the White Eye and Feathered Bow left her feeling helpless.

There is no other way but to react passively and retaliate.

"We definitely can't just sit and wait to die like the Yakumo squad."

Kaguya Kimimaro couldn't help but say.

He didn't want to be passively attacked.

"good."

Sasuke Uchiha paused for a moment and said, "Neji's archery techniques aren't powerful enough. We just need to rush in front of them."

"But during this process, Neji can use archery techniques to interfere with us."

Sakura Haruno paused for a moment, then said.

"This is unavoidable; in this area, he can lock onto us."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said, "It's not so dangerous once we start running."

Moving targets are definitely harder to hit than stationary targets.

"Yes!"

Sakura Haruno suddenly thought of something and said, "We can choose the path with the most obstacles!"

"Ah."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded and said, "I'll leave the decision of which path to take to you."

"can!"

Sakura Haruno immediately took out a map.

This is a drawing she made from memory after surveying the site yesterday.

The right side of the Death Forest.

"Hurry up and set up the trap."

Hyuga Neji used his Byakugan to see Sakura Haruno's actions.

Given Sasuke Uchiha's strength and personality, it was easy for him to guess what they were planning to do.

There's actually another reason why Kurama Yakumo's squad didn't do that.

They're not fast enough.

Kurama Yakumo was born weak, while Yamanaka Ino and Karin were somewhat weaker.

If they don't stay put and defend, they will most likely be exhausted by Hyuga Neji's archery techniques halfway through their journey.

But Sasuke Uchiha's team is different.

Besides Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Kimimaro Kaguya are both very fast, and they are not afraid of bow-based secret techniques.

Shouldn't we take the initiative to approach them this time?

Tayuya asked with some doubt.

"Because they intend to approach us proactively."

Neji Hyuga replied, "This team battle will be a defensive one for us."

"As expected of Sasuke."

I wasn't surprised to hear that every day.

"It's okay, we still have a significant advantage in defense."

Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice, "I'll use ranged attacks, you use mid-range attacks, and Tayuya will use close-range attacks. This will allow us to wear them down to the maximum extent."

"It looks like it's going to be a protracted battle."

Tenten nodded and said, "Tayuya, let's go set up the trap."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely get first place!"

Tayuya clenched her fist and said.

She has never been first in the gifted class since she entered it.

This team battle is undoubtedly the most promising.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Kitazawa's voice rang out.

"I'll walk in front, Sakura will walk in the middle, and Kimimaro will walk behind."

After saying that, Sasuke Uchiha took out the Thunder God Sword.

Sakura Haruno nodded and gripped her kunai tightly with both hands.

Kaguya Kimimaro raised her arms, and five snow-white bones emerged from her palms.

"set off!"

Uchiha Sasuke leaped up and proceeded along the route planned by Haruno Sakura.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

An arrow of Yin-escaping technique exploded above their heads.

An invisible mental shockwave spread towards them like ripples on the surface of water.

But Sasuke Uchiha was prepared.

His three-tomoe Sharingan trembled suddenly, and his pupil power surged forth.

Two invisible spiritual forces collided in mid-air.

Sakura Haruno and Kimimaro Kaguya both felt unwell.

However, this is all; there was no dizziness or lightheadedness that affected movement.

Sasuke Uchiha's gaze sharpened, and he immediately channeled his Lightning Release chakra into the Thunder God Sword in his hand.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword towards the sky, and lightning spread, instantly covering the six Yin Escape Arrows.

"That's incredible! Sasuke-kun!"

Upon seeing this, Sakura Haruno immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"Speak less, save your energy."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at her and reminded her.

Sakura Haruno immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking.

"Kimimaro, get ready, we're going to switch places in a bit."

Uchiha Sasuke needs to conserve a certain amount of chakra to cope with the final battle.

Only by having two people take turns dealing with Hyuga Neji's archery techniques can they maintain the strength of their team to the greatest extent.

"I can help too."

Sakura Haruno quickly said, "I can use medical ninjutsu to relieve your fatigue."

"You can use it during the break."

After saying that, Sasuke Uchiha immediately held up the Thunder God Sword in front of him.

A spinning arrow of Yin energy struck Thor's sword.

The immense force caused his body to involuntarily recoil backward.

Just then, another arrow of Yin Escape arrived.

Kaguya Kimimaro immediately stepped forward, crossed her arms, and used her bones to deflect the Yin Release arrow.

"Continue to go!"

After Sasuke Uchiha knocked down the Spiral Arrow, he accelerated forward again.

"I can't stop them."

As Hyuga Neji shot an arrow, he said, "Tenten, get ready."

Tenten is skilled at throwing ninja tools. Once Sasuke Uchiha and the others are within range, they can coordinate with her for a double-coverage attack.

When should I use a summoning beast?

Tayuya couldn't wait to ask.

"hold on."

Neji Hyuga explained, "My attacks and Tenten's attacks are indiscriminate; you will become our target now if you use a summoning beast."

The viewing platform atop the wooden dragon.

"This team battle has turned into an offensive and defensive battle."

"I can't help but sigh," said Kurenai Yuhi.

"Currently, Sasuke and his group have the upper hand."

Kakashi Hatake said casually.

"This is just the beginning."

Chen Baojun thought for a moment and said, "Once Tenten and Tayuya join, Sasuke and the others will be under much more pressure."

"The fact that Tenten and Tayu can attack Sasuke and the others means that they have entered Sasuke and the others' attack range."

Kitazawa reminded him.

"This is true."

Kurenai paused for a moment, then said, "In that case, it's not necessarily true that Sasuke and the others are under more pressure."

"Risk is opportunity."

Kakashi Hatake commented.

as time flows.

Uchiha Sasuke's team and others had already covered more than half the distance.

"day by day!"

Hyuga Neji calculated the distance and spoke up promptly.

Manipulation Tool - Heavenly Lock Disaster!
Tian Tian had already made preparations long ago.

After hearing Neji Hyuga's reminder, she grabbed a large scroll with both hands and threw it with all her might.

In mid-air, a large scroll unfurled, and countless ninja tools poured down, dimming the light.

"Sakura!"

Uchiha Sasuke always kept his three-tomoe Sharingan active.

He noticed the large scroll as soon as it appeared.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Sakura Haruno immediately formed hand seals.

Water appeared around her and spread rapidly, soon forming a ring of water around them.

A large number of ninja tools fell, causing the water wall to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Taking advantage of that one second, the three of them immediately ran outside.

As he ran, Sasuke Uchiha took out a shuriken from his satchel.

He tossed them with both hands, and six shuriken flew out.

Multiple arrows!
Upon seeing this, Hyuga Neji immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

The Yin Arrow trembled slightly and split into six, perfectly intercepting the six shuriken.

"They really were there!"

Sasuke Uchiha snorted and said, "We've finally pinpointed their location!"

Double Rising Dragon!
Tian Tian threw out two scrolls.

Under her control, the two scrolls resembled two giant dragons.

They opened their mouths in mid-air and spat out a continuous stream of ninja tools.

"Come here quickly!"

Sakura Haruno quickly formed hand seals and used Water Release: Water Wall once again.

Seeing this, Kaguya Kimimaro used a Body Flicker Technique to block behind the water wall.

But he didn't just dodge, because Tenten's ninja tool attacks were too dense, and the water wall couldn't block them all.

He wielded a bone knife and knocked away any ninja tools that had slipped through his fingers.

"Sasuke-kun?"

Sakura Haruno looked puzzled when she saw Sasuke Uchiha standing still.

"I've located them, I'm going straight there!"

Uchiha Sasuke replied and immediately formed hand seals.

A piercing bird call appeared.

Lightning crackled and enveloped his entire body.

He rushed towards the location of Hyuga Neji and the others at an extremely fast speed.

Tenten's ninja tools landed on him, but were immediately blasted away by the lightning, unable to cause any damage.

This is Lightning Release: Chidori Stream.

While its defense isn't as good as Water Release: Water Wall, it's more than enough to stop ordinary ninja tools.

“Once Sasuke gets close to them, they will definitely focus on dealing with him.”

Sakura Haruno took a deep breath and said, "When the pressure on our side is greatly reduced, we can take this opportunity to rush over and help Sasuke-kun."

Kaguya Kimimaro nodded.

He could have left.

However, Sakura Haruno alone cannot withstand the ranged attacks of Neji Hyuga and Tenten, so he has to stay behind.

"Tayuya, use your summoning beast."

Hyuga Neji said with a solemn expression, "Sasuke will be here soon."

Tayuya was startled and immediately took out her bamboo flute.

She was well aware of Sasuke Uchiha's strength.

The thought of facing him made her nervous.

"Tenten, I'll use the Exploding Arrow first, then you use the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, and we'll take care of Kimimaro and Sakura."

Hyuga Neji thought for a moment and then said.

If they can defeat Kaguya Kimimaro and Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha will once again find himself in a situation where he has to fight three opponents at once.

However, compared to Shino Aburame, he has a greater advantage when facing Sasuke Uchiha.

Because he has Byakugan and Gentle Fist, you can win as long as you get close enough to hit him.

After saying that, Neji Hyuga drew back the bowstring.

Seeing this, Tian Tian also took out a shuriken.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha had come into their sights.

He was incredibly fast, and with his Lightning Release: Chidori Stream, he was like a bolt of lightning heading straight for them.

Boom!
Sasuke Uchiha triggered the explosive tag trap.

But he leaped up and used Lightning Release: Chidori Stream to defend against the attack, without slowing down in the slightest.

The Magic Flute: Phantom Martial Arts!

Tayuya blew her flute, and three angry demons charged towards Uchiha Sasuke.

Exploding Arrow!
Hyuga Neji released his grip.

Tenten then threw out a shuriken and formed hand seals.

Uchiha Sasuke noticed Hyuga Neji and Tenten's actions.

He frowned slightly and immediately decided to provide assistance.

Taking on three opponents at once might look cool, but it's also very risky.

Moreover, Hyuga Neji's team is stronger than Aburame Shino's team, so he wasn't confident.

Boom!
The angry demon wielding a wooden club slammed down.

At the critical moment, Uchiha Sasuke leaped up, stepping on the giant wooden club, and arrived in mid-air.

With a forceful flick, Thor's sword flew out of his hand and struck the exploding arrow precisely.

The explosive arrow immediately detonated.

Because the explosion occurred so early, neither Sakura Haruno nor Kimimaro Kaguya were affected.

But Sasuke Uchiha also lost his Thunder God Sword.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, another angry demon thrust its bone claws at him like three sharp blades.

While Sasuke Uchiha's Lightning Release: Chidori Stream offers decent defense, it's unlikely he could withstand such a large bone claw.

He immediately took cover.

"careful!"

Kaguya Kimimaro's pupils contracted, and dozens of bones immediately sprouted from her entire body.

Tenten's shuriken had now transformed into countless shuriken, covering him and Sakura Haruno.

"Kimimaro, get out!"

Seeing this, Sakura Haruno formed hand seals and spoke.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
A water dragon, twice the size of usual, appeared in front of her.

It trembled violently as it met countless shurikens.

Sakura Haruno stepped back, barely catching her breath, and formed hand seals again.

Although the water dragon was much larger, it still couldn't be stopped. In a mere second, it was pierced by the shuriken and turned into splashing water.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Sakura Haruno narrowly escaped with a miraculous rescue, raising a wall of water at just the right moment.

However, the water wall became shaky and unstable in no time under the attack of the shuriken.

Sakura Haruno sighed, thinking to herself that she had done her best.

The Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is, after all, an A-rank ninjutsu, and its power is astonishing.

She left Kaguya Kimimaro alone for this very reason.

If one of them escapes, given Sasuke Uchiha's strength, they would likely win in a two-on-three situation.

Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Tang Pine!
Without any hesitation, Kaguya Kimimaro ran outside.

All the bones in his body moved as if dozens of ninja swords had flicked the shuriken away.

Once he was out of the range of the shuriken, he turned around and saw Sakura Haruno being rescued by Kosuke Maruboshi.

This means she has been eliminated.

Kaguya Kimimaro glanced at the scene and then ran as fast as she could towards the location of Hyuga Neji and the others.

At the same time, he took out a pair of earplugs and plugged his ears.

He doesn't have the three-tomoe Sharingan, so he can't ignore Tayuya's sound illusion.

Physical isolation is the best solution.

"pity."

Neji Hyuga couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he had only managed to defeat Sakura Haruno.

But he didn't have time to think much, because Uchiha Sasuke bypassed the three slow-moving Angry Demons and came to stand in front of them.

"You go and deal with Kimimaro."

Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice, "I'll hold Sasuke off!"

Although he obtained the Feather Bow, it would still be quite difficult for him to defeat Uchiha Sasuke.

The best solution is for Tenten and Tayuya to defeat Kaguya Kimimaro and then help him.

With them holding him back, Hyuga Neji is confident he can defeat Uchiha Sasuke.

Upon hearing this, Tenten and Tayuya didn't ask any further questions and immediately got to work.

"How can it be that easy?"

Upon hearing Neji Hyuga's order, Sasuke Uchiha immediately raised his hand.

The lightning on his body quickly spread outwards.

Tian Tian reacts very quickly.

She immediately pulled with both hands.

A trap near Uchiha Sasuke was triggered.

First, there were detonating tags, then shurikens flew out from the flames.

The lightning was immediately separated into sections.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned and immediately drew a white dagger.

The Thor's Sword was given to him by Kitazawa.

But the white short sword was a gift from Kakashi Hatake.

His Thor's sword had been temporarily lost while he was blocking the exploding arrow.

The current situation doesn't allow him to get back at it, so he switched to a ninja sword.

Sasuke Uchiha cleaved the shuriken and took a step forward.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

Six Yin-style arrows sealed off his surroundings.

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha had no choice but to use his white short sword to knock down the Yin Release arrows one by one.

Tenten and Tayuya left the area formed by lightning and encountered Kaguya Kimimaro, whose body was covered in bones.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at it, then looked away and met Hyuga Neji's gaze.

The two stared at each other for two seconds.

Spiral Arrow!
Neji Hyuga fired an arrow without hesitation.

Uchiha Sasuke immediately sprang into action.

He struck the spiral arrow with his sword.

The spiraling force caused his right hand to tremble slightly.

Sasuke Uchiha braced his feet against the ground and with a sudden burst of strength in his right arm, he deflected the spiral arrow.

Multiple arrows!
Hyuga Neji didn't stop for a moment before drawing his bow and nocking an arrow again.

Six Yin Release arrows enveloped Uchiha Sasuke.

Hatake sword technique!
Uchiha Sasuke unleashed a burst of speed.

He turned his entire body to the side, passing through the six Yin-style arrows.

At the same time, the white dagger pierced towards Hyuga Neji like lightning.

So fast!

Hyuga Neji immediately felt the pressure.

He turned his right hand and commanded the feather bow to block the white dagger.

A bang!
Hyuga Neji smoothly struck out with his left hand.

Sasuke Uchiha reacted quickly, kicking out and striking his wrist squarely.

With a swift turn, the white dagger in his hand thrust out.

Hyuga Neji immediately stepped back, creating distance between them.

Bagua Empty Palm!

He slapped his right hand at Uchiha Sasuke.

An air shockwave struck.

Nowadays, at short distances, most people simply can't react in time.

Fortunately, Uchiha Sasuke had the three-tomoe Sharingan.

He sensed the chakra and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique.

After he dodged, Hyuga Neji drew his bow and nocked an arrow once more.

Exploding Arrow!
An arrow of Yin Escape flew out and immediately exploded in mid-air.

Sasuke Uchiha's body trembled, and he quickly used his three-tomoe Sharingan to defend himself.

He gave a soft hum, and a large amount of ocular power suddenly surged from his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Genjutsu·Shiranui!
Because they were so close, Hyuga Neji was immediately caught in the genjutsu and stood frozen in place.

Hatake sword technique!
Seeing that the genjutsu had taken effect, Sasuke Uchiha swung his sword without hesitation.

At the critical moment of life and death, Hyuga Neji broke free of the genjutsu.

But in the end, it was too late.

Blood sprayed.

Neji Hyuga's sleeve was cut open, leaving a deep wound on his right arm.

He endured the pain and quickly raised his Feather Bow to block Uchiha Sasuke's white dagger.

A bang!
Using the recoil, Hyuga Neji retreated, creating distance between them.

"Neji!"

Tian Tian smelled the blood, turned around, and her expression changed drastically.

Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow!

Taking advantage of Tenten's momentary lapse in concentration, Kaguya Kimimaro broke free from the three angry demons' entanglement and drifted towards Tenten like a willow catkin.

"day by day!"

Tayuya quickly called out.

Because Kaguya Kimimaro wore earplugs, her sound illusion technique lost its effectiveness.

She can only control her three angry demons using sound illusions.

Seeing that Tian Tian was in danger, she quickly changed the tune of her flute.

The Magic Flute: Chaos in the Demon Realm!

The three angry demons stopped in their tracks and immediately spat out three monsters composed of spiritual energy.

They have long bodies and huge teeth, and look like three strange worms.

The three monsters, without physical form, seemed to be alive as they chased after Kaguya Kimimaro in the air.

"what is this?"

Kaguya Kimimaro glanced at it subconsciously and was startled.

But he gritted his teeth and still attacked Tian Tian.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

An arrow of Yin-style magic struck him.

Kaguya Kimimaro frowned and instinctively dodged.

Delayed by this Yin-escaping arrow, the three monsters caught up.

They opened their mouths and bit at his limbs.

Kaguya Kimimaro felt a chill run down her spine and dared not take the attack head-on. She quickly accelerated and tried to dodge.

But the three monsters were just as fast as him and kept chasing him.

"Neji!"

Tian Tian immediately threw out a scroll.

A bunch of ninja tools flew towards Uchiha Sasuke.

Hyuga Neji quickly turned his bow around and nocked an arrow again.

Uchiha Sasuke leaped backward, formed hand seals, and spat out a huge fireball.

Tenten sees Hyuga Neji temporarily safe and joins forces with Tayuya to fight Kaguya Kimimaro.

She knew very well that she could only help Hyuga Neji after defeating Kaguya Kimimaro.

At this moment, Kaguya Kimimaro was being chased by three monsters and was in a rather disheveled state.

Fortunately, he was always a bit faster.

He rushed towards Tayuya without hesitation.

Only by defeating her can the three monsters be made to lose control.

But then Tenten's ninja tools arrived.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Kimimaro Kaguya.

He, Tayuya, and Tenten are once again caught in a chase.

Sasuke Uchiha felt somewhat relieved.

At least this situation is not bad for their team.

Hyuga Neji looked at Uchiha Sasuke with a serious expression.

Tenten and Tayuya couldn't leave.

Because they couldn't defeat Kaguya Kimimaro alone, they had to help each other.

Neji Hyuga not only failed to receive their support, but was also injured.

His right arm was bleeding continuously, and at the same time, he felt increasingly weak.

What's even more deadly is that his right arm also has to bend a bow and nock an arrow.

This worsened his injury.

Neji Hyuga gritted his teeth and gave up the Feathered Bow.

He looked at Uchiha Sasuke and adopted the Gentle Fist stance.

"Your right arm is injured, how long can you hold on?"

Sasuke Uchiha raised his white dagger and asked calmly.

Neji Hyuga didn't answer; he just looked at him.

A piercing bird call appeared.

A layer of lightning immediately covered Uchiha Sasuke's body.

Neji Hyuga felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

The appearance of lightning was undoubtedly a restraint on his Soft Fist.

Without saying a word, Uchiha Sasuke rushed in front of Hyuga Neji.

His white dagger pierced out like a crescent moon.

Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!

Hyuga Neji unleashed both palms simultaneously.

He struck Sasuke's white short sword with his left palm and his arm with his right.

"Your right palm is too slow!"

Uchiha Sasuke kicked out, sending his right palm flying.

At the same time, he twisted his right wrist, and the white short sword slashed horizontally towards Hyuga Neji's left palm.

Despite the protection of chakra, he was still injured.

A faint bloodstain appeared on the palm of Hyuga Neji's left hand.

He ignored it and immediately changed his strategy, no longer trying to use pressure points on Uchiha Sasuke, but focusing on entanglement and evasion.

Despite being glared at and embarrassed, he managed to persevere.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Hyuga Neji's bleeding right arm.

As his condition worsened, he immediately stopped using the Hatake sword technique.

Konoha Style: Willow!

The white dagger in his hand trembled suddenly.

Hyuga Neji suddenly found himself bound to the spot.

At the same time, all he could see were afterimages of the white dagger.

Hyuga Neji immediately realized what was happening and quickly dispelled the genjutsu.

But Sasuke Uchiha's white short sword was faster than his.

The afterimage stopped, and the white dagger was now resting on his neck.

As soon as Hyuga Neji broke free of the genjutsu, he saw the white short sword.

He opened his mouth, but finally said helplessly, "I admit defeat."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly and turned to help Kimimaro Kaguya.

"I'll go down for a bit."

Kitazawa, who was atop the wooden dragon, disappeared from the spot.

He appeared in front of Hyuga Neji in the next second.

The magic of palm!
Kitazawa placed his hands on his right arm.

Hyuga Neji subconsciously glanced at Tenten and Tayuya.

After Sasuke Uchiha joined the battle, they were quickly defeated.

Hyuga Neji sighed, but he knew he couldn't blame them.

Their team gave it their all, but Sasuke Uchiha's team was simply stronger in terms of raw power.

"Okay, just rest for a couple of days."

Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said.

"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."

Hyuga Neji shook hands, feeling that his right arm was completely fine.

Kitazawa then walked towards Tayuya and Tenten.

The battle was over, and both Uchiha Sasuke and Kaguya Kimimaro stopped.

"The winner is Team Uchiha Sasuke."

Kitazawa announced the results while treating Tayuya.

She was relentlessly pursued by Kaguya Kimimaro, and her body was cut by bones several times.

Nothing's wrong with me every day.

As soon as Sasuke Uchiha appeared, he used his Sharingan to control her, and she was defeated without any chance to resist.

Without Tenten's restraint, Kaguya Kimimaro immediately subdued Tayuya.

The battle ended at lightning speed.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Tayu hesitated for two seconds before saying, "I want to learn illusion magic."

"Haven't you been studying illusion magic all this time?"

Kitazawa countered with a question.

"I mean normal illusions."

Tayuya bit her lip and said, "They easily broke my sound illusion with earplugs, so it didn't work at all."

"I'll teach you after the holiday."

Kitazawa chuckled softly and said.

This saved him some trouble.

He had previously considered creating two sound illusions to teach Tayuya, but he was too busy to research them.

It's fine to teach ready-made illusions.

After all, sound illusions do have certain limitations.

"Let's go out first."

Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said.

The group left the venue.

The members of the genius class already knew the outcome of the battle through Iruka Umino.

"Truly my nemesis!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "Looks like we're about to have another battle full of youthful energy!"

"Neji has done a very good job."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said, "We didn't make any mistakes in the team battle."

"Yakumo, do you think we could have won if we had used the same tactics as Sasuke's team?"

Yamanaka Ino's eyes lit up, and she asked instinctively.

"It's hard."

Kurama Yakumo shook his head and said, "If it were us, we would have been suppressed by Neji and Tenten in the first two stages."

"Too."

Yamanaka Ino paused for a moment, then said, "Sasuke's Sharingan and Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku are not afraid of bow-type secret techniques and ninja tools."

"Ah."

Yakumo Kurama gave an example, saying, "In long-range raid operations, we estimate to be about the same as Sakura."

Sakura Haruno lost to Tenten's Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

She's pretty much the same as Karin.

"In the end, it's because Sasuke is too strong."

Nara Shikamaru remarked with a sigh.

Under normal circumstances, Hyuga Neji would be very good at close combat thanks to his Byakugan and Gentle Fist.

However, Sasuke Uchiha was no ordinary ninja.

Lightning Release, Hatake swordsmanship, Sharingan, and Konoha-style swordsmanship gave him the upper hand in close combat.

"I think Kimimaro is also very important."

Kiba Inuzuka retorted, "If Kimimaro hadn't been able to hold off Tayuya and Tenten, Sasuke probably wouldn't have won."

After all, while Hyuga Neji's strength is not comparable to Uchiha Sasuke's, the gap is not particularly large.

Most importantly, he has the Byakugan, which allows him to keep up with Sasuke Uchiha's movements.

Aburame Shino's squad was relatively inferior.

"It seems you now understand the importance of teamwork."

Kitazawa appeared before them.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga and the others quickly greeted him.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Naruto Uzumaki asked impatiently, "When does the next team battle start?"

"Two o'clock in the afternoon."

Kitazawa replied.

"Huh? So late?"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately showed a surprised expression.

Others also found it puzzling.

"You've been fighting for so long, aren't you hungry?"

Kitazawa smiled and said, "You guys go have lunch first, and after you've rested, you'll participate in the final battle at 2 PM."

"I'm not hungry!"

Naruto clenched his fist and said.

"Team battles emphasize fairness."

Kitazawa looked at him and asked, "Sasuke and the others have just gone through a fierce battle. Are you sure you want to fight them?"

"Then let's do it this afternoon."

Naruto Uzumaki realized what was happening and nodded emphatically.

"At 2 PM, at the same place, everyone remember to be on time."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Goodbye, Kitazawa-sensei!"

After saying goodbye, Naruto and the others went home.

"Then we're going to have lunch too. See you this afternoon."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kosuke Maruboshi, and the others did not linger and turned to leave.

In the end, only Tsunade and Kurenai were left.

"I'll treat you to dinner?"

Kitazawa blinked and asked.

"Lady Tsunade, what are your thoughts?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Tsunade and asked.

She didn't care.

However, Tsunade is the Hokage, so her opinion should be taken into consideration.

"How about we eat at the casino?"

Tsunade stroked her chin and said, "Anyway, there are still two hours until the team battle this afternoon."

"Eh?"

Kurenai asked with a surprised look, "Does the casino provide lunch?"

Is this the important point?

Kitazawa's lips twitched, and he asked, "Tsunade-sensei, you're the Hokage, how can your mind be filled with nothing but casinos?"

Tsunade subconsciously glared at him.

But then she realized what was happening.

Without Kitazawa, there's no point in her going to the casino.

Because she has no money.

Forget it, I'll wait until the team battle is over before going.

"Then let's go back and eat."

Tsunade pursed her lips and said, "You cook."

Taking the opportunity to retaliate?

Kitazawa glanced at her and made a mental note of the grudge.

Tsunade turned and walked towards Konoha Village.

Kurenai Yuhi gave Kitazawa a thumbs up.

Although she had a good relationship with Tsunade, due to traditional ninja thinking, she couldn't be as casual with Tsunade as Kitazawa was.

After all, Tsunade is the Hokage.

In theory, a single sentence could decide her life or death.

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

He coughed lightly and said, "Let's go back."
