I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

"The first match of the finals!"

"Naruto Uzumaki versus Sasuke Uchiha!"

Chapter 145 Naruto and Sasuke's Fated Battle

Naruto and Sasuke have become opponents in the first match of the finals?

Shigure turned to look at Naruto and Sasuke.

Upon hearing the news, both of them were stunned for a moment, but Naruto then showed a joyful expression.

"Sasuke! I've wanted to have a fair fight with you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke said, "Hmph! You loser, do you think you can beat me?"

"Tch! You arrogant Sasuke, you'll see soon enough!"

With that, Naruto jumped out of the window and landed steadily on the final match field.

Upon seeing Naruto's appearance, many Konoha residents had mixed expressions.

This former fox spirit has now become one of the Three Eccentrics of Konoha, and has been given the title of "Fox Demon".

Team 7, the genin of Konoha, are known as the Three Eccentrics of Konoha.

The first monster is, of course, Shigure, whom Zabuza calls "1-Demon."

Sasuke and Naruto are now also referred to as demons.

Perhaps people didn't have a good impression of Sasuke and Naruto to begin with. Although they performed well in the Chunin Exams and showed amazing strength, Konoha's perception of them didn't change much.

Naruto, being a fox demon, was naturally called the Fox Demon, while Sasuke Uchiha was called the Blood Demon.

The blood-red Sharingan is known as the cursed eye, and such eyes evoke fear at first glance.

"The fox demon is going to fight the blood-eyed demon?"

"A battle between two monsters?"

The common people pondered for a moment and then found it amusing.

Mei Terumi looked at Naruto Uzumaki in the arena.

"Is this the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage nodded. "That's right, his name is Naruto Uzumaki!"

This kid, becoming the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, seems unlikely to be able to control the Nine-Tails' power, which would put Mei Terumi at ease.

Ao watched Naruto closely from behind Mei Terumi. The Nine-Tails' chakra within him was indeed terrifying.

Then Sasuke appeared opposite Naruto, his appearance using the Body Flicker Technique even more dazzling than Naruto's.

Qing was taken aback. 'Body Instantaneous Movement Technique?'

He mastered the Body Flicker Technique at such a young age?

As expected of a child from the Sharingan clan.

"Such a beautiful Body Flicker Technique, as expected of the Uchiha clan!" Mei Terumi said, but then changed the subject, "It's a pity that such an excellent bloodline limit clan has disappeared!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen smiled helplessly.

The other party is praising Konoha, but they're also mocking Konoha!

Kiba Inuzuka, standing in the audience, was clenching his fists and staring intently at Naruto, still furious about losing to him.

I actually lost to such a bottom-ranked team.

"What? Still unwilling to accept defeat to Naruto Uzumaki?"

Kurenai asked Ya a question.

He curled his lip and said, "Hmph! He was just lucky!"

"Good luck? I think it's more than just good luck!"

Kurenai smiled and said, "You don't know that while you were being taken for treatment, Naruto Uzumaki used two Wind Release ninjutsu, which are ninjutsu that require a very high level of talent to master!"

"Wind Release? So what? Hmph, it's nothing..."

While Ya was speaking.

Hayate Gekko announced the start of the match, and Naruto and Sasuke immediately began their attack.

Boom!

The physical combat between the two immediately stunned everyone present.

"So fast!"

The storm that erupted from the simple exchange of punches between the two was already quite powerful.

Standing on the field, you can clearly feel the airflow sweeping past you from the side.

Is this really just two genin fighting?

A series of loud impacts echoed through the arena.

Naruto and Sasuke's taijutsu clashes resulted in a draw for a moment.

Their physical skills were so accurate that even Xiao Li couldn't help but nod in approval, saying, "Both of them have reached a very high level in terms of physical skills!"

"Even with a drooping tail, it's still this accurate?"

Although Xiao Li said that, his eyes were filled with a burning passion, which showed that even the worst student could catch up with a genius through hard work.

Sasuke is a genius, Naruto is a loser.

But now the two are evenly matched.

Ino: "So strong, both of them are!"

Sakura: "Even Naruto has become this strong without us even realizing it?"

Shikamaru: "This is really unexpected! Luckily, their opponent isn't me!"

Shino: "But among the remaining people, aren't there even more terrifying beings?"

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shino. "Shino, you're still as annoying as ever!"

Shino: "?"

"Sasuke! I'm getting serious now!"

Suddenly Naruto stopped and shouted at Sasuke.

"Hmph! Bring it on! I won't hold back even against someone as bad as me."

The genin who didn't make it to the finals were stunned when they heard Sasuke's words. These two hadn't even started to get serious yet?

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

"Sharingan, activate!"

Naruto's use of Shadow Clones was the real deal, and Sasuke also awakened his Sharingan.

Although Naruto's clones are not easy to deal with, with the Sharingan, dealing with them becomes much easier.

Bang bang bang!

One after another, Sasuke's clones were destroyed, and Sasuke's taijutsu was more than twice as strong after activating his Sharingan.

However, Naruto's lack of taijutsu skills was compensated for by his shadow clone technique.

The two appeared evenly matched once again.

Kakashi looked at the two on the field, and as their teacher, he was quite pleased.

...... 0 ...

Naruto's clones disappeared one after another, and a few minutes later, only Naruto remained on the field.

Sasuke turned to Naruto and said, "Shadow clones are useless against me!"

"I know!"

Naruto smiled and said, "I just wanted to have a match with you!"

"Humph!"

Sasuke smiled faintly and didn't continue.

The next second, Naruto pulled out a kunai, and Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this action.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"

As Naruto finished forming the hand seals, he exhaled a breath that flowed onto the kunai, instantly forming a wind blade.

Naruto, gripping kunai with both hands, slashed directly at Sasuke. The next second, Sasuke drew his ninja sword from his waist, and the moment the blade collided with the vacuum blade, Sasuke was sent flying.

"Sasuke! Ordinary ninja swords can't stop my Vacuum Blade!"

Naruto smiled; this move was specifically taught to Sasuke.

However, Sasuke smiled and said, "The power of Wind Release is indeed very strong!"
