Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Looking at Haneda, Asuma shouted excitedly from four or five meters away:

"Brother Haneda! I never imagined I'd have the honor of being your opponent. It's truly exhilarating!"

Looking at the excited Asuma, Haneda didn't know whether Asuma was lucky or unlucky to have met him.

For a moment, Haneda did not reply.

At this moment, Obito, standing next to Minato in the stands, shouted loudly:

"Haneda, do your best! You have to beat Asuma to a pulp for me!!"

"Understood, but there's no need to beat him up." Haneda glanced at Obito and used genjutsu to convey his meaning from afar.

Chapter 114 Asuma Talking to Himself

"Just so you know, Haneda-nii! Don't use illusion magic! That would ruin the fun."

Asma added.

But Haneda had already activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and used a genjutsu, and Asuma's eyes happened to be looking over.

Haneda gave an awkward smile, and immediately drew his sword and began to fight as the referee announced the start of the match.

Asuma gripped his chakra blade tightly, his eyes burning with intense desire as he looked at Haneda:

"I've wanted to fight Haneda-nii for a long time, but I've always felt that my strength is too weak..."

"I've been studying under Mr. Sakumo for so long, and I've grown a lot, Haneda-nii!"

Dang, Dang, Dang! ! !

The short sword and the chakra blade clashed repeatedly, and tiny wind blades formed from wind-style chakra tore through the air one after another.

At this moment, Asmahu retreated, quickly formed hand seals, and spat out several Void Jade from his mouth.

But Haneda dodged it several times with a sidestep.

Knowing that his older brother Haneda, who possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan, was too skilled in delicate combat, Asuma chose to use a wide-range ninjutsu.

Immediately, he created a shadow clone and quickly formed hand seals as Haneda rushed over.

The shadow clone unleashed a gust of wind and charged towards Haneda. At the same time, Asuma's main body spat out a fireball, forming a composite ninjutsu!

The strong winds fueled the fire, causing flames to completely engulf the center of the playing field.

Seeing the flames that covered an area one-tenth the size of his own, Haneda smiled slightly:

"Not bad, Asuma."

As soon as the words were spoken, a wall of earth rose from the ground.

The flames were blocked, and the fire was then dispersed from all sides of the earthen wall.

At that moment, a hand grabbed Asuma's right foot. Asuma tried to break free, but Haneda threw him off balance and he fell.

At the same time, another figure, Haneda, stood behind Asuma, pressing a kunai against Asuma's neck.

Asma felt the cold touch of the kunai, his emotions surged even more.

After all, this is Haneda's strength; Haneda fought him seriously!

Asma couldn't help but roar loudly:

"What a thrilling battle! Brother Haneda!!"

From the stands, Obito looked at Asuma, who was standing still but excitedly talking, and asked him curiously:

What is he talking to himself about?

"That's Nakaba's illusion, 'The Loser'!" Kakashi explained from the side.

"Huh? You idiot Kakashi, what kind of genjutsu is he under? Why is he so agitated?!" Obito asked, puzzled.

On the right side of Class 7, Kai watched Haneda walk towards Asuma step by step, somewhat confused about what Haneda was doing.

It wasn't until Haneda's kunai was pressed against Asuma's neck that Kai understood.

It turns out that his lifelong rival was about to announce the end of the match!

As expected of Haneda, he finished so quickly!

The judges, watching Asuma being manipulated by illusions throughout, were unsure how to score him.

Asuma's true strength was not revealed at all, and he was instantly defeated by Haneda's illusion technique.

You could say he got a high score, or you could say he got a mid score, but who knows how to actually score it?

Until one of the judges said, "Uchiha Haneda's three tomoe alone are enough to get a high score."

Only then did the judges raise their placards with a 90% success rate.

At this moment, Haneda dispelled the illusion surrounding Asuma.

He felt the kunai on his neck, that incredibly real touch, and his face flushed as he made his post-battle summary:

"That's incredible, Brother Haneda!"

"While using the earthen wall to block the flames, I created a shadow clone that sneaked underground and silently circled around to my feet."

"At the same time, the main body instantly teleports from the earthen wall and moves together with the shadow clone."

"This tactical arrangement is absolutely invincible! Brother Haneda!!"

Seeing this, Haneda was almost overcome with embarrassment.

He forced a smile and said, "It's alright, I used to use this tactic all the time."

"Really? So Haneda-nii had such a high battle IQ all along!" Asuma admired Haneda even more.

After the referee announced the results and scores, Asuma and Haneda left the battle arena.

But Asuma was puzzled by the strange looks on the faces of the audience.

I just realized that my combination of ninjutsu had a bit of Haneda's style!

These people weren't even slightly impressed; they really don't understand art!

…………

After Haneda and Asuma's battle ended, Kakashi and Guy, who took the stage next, finished their battles quickly, making them less entertaining.

On the contrary, Hong and Lin were locked in a stalemate for a long time, as if they were really fighting, which excited the audience.

The result was a low rating, which almost caused dissatisfaction among viewers.

Perhaps for this reason, a foolish sixth-ranked player challenged Haneda and was instantly defeated by illusion.

Now the audience realized a fact: Haneda could defeat anyone instantly.

Therefore, the process of fighting is almost the same.

After the morning's matches, the final results are in.

The top four are Haneda, Kakashi, Kai, and Rin.

The four stood in the center of the battle arena, facing countless gazes from the stands.

The Jonin in charge of the third round came over again with a tube of slips of paper.

"The semi-finals and finals will be held at 2 p.m.

"There are only four slips of paper, divided into A, B, C, and D. Among them, A is paired with C, and B is paired with D."

"Let's begin the draw now."

This time, neither Haneda nor Kakashi stepped forward immediately. Instead, they waited until Rin finished drawing her card before approaching her.

At this point, Kai had finished drawing his own slips, leaving only two slips of paper in the bamboo tube.

Haneda asked, "You go first?"

"No, you go first." Kakashi shook his head.

At this moment, Haneda noticed that Kai and Lin's slips of paper were labeled A and B, respectively.

He knew that his match against Kakashi would be in the finals, so he said, "It doesn't matter who comes."

Immediately, Yu Tian casually picked up a cigarette; it was Ding, and he would be fighting Lin.

"Looks like you'll have to fight Guy first, Kakashi."

Haneda revealed the tag.

At that very moment, the Jonin announced:

"The draw results are: Might Guy vs. Kakashi Hatake, and Haneda Uchiha vs. Rin Nohara!"

…………

As the morning's matches came to an end, the spectators began to leave.

The people from Sunagakure also left the area and returned to their inn.

Yekura said, "Uchiha Haneda's genjutsu seems to be quite skilled. Kuma-dōji, weren't you the one he used it on before? How did it feel?"

Bear Boy, recalling the terror of Haneda's illusion, swallowed hard and said:
