Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 103 Restraint Play

"So fast..."

In the stands, Tian Tian looked shocked.

"That's... the Eight Gates Formation?"

Matt Kai was also completely bewildered.

"That child knows... the Eight Gates Formation?"

"If I remember correctly, the Uchiha clan was one of the founders of Konoha. Is it strange that they possess this technique?"

Samui crossed his arms and said calmly.

"Ah... this doesn't seem to make any mistakes."

Akai scratched his head, and the next second he realized that Xiao Li had been injured and fallen to the ground. He hurriedly rushed into the field shouting and followed the medical staff away in a flurry.

"Eight Gates Formation..."

Jiraiya sighed slightly; he was naturally familiar with this technique.

Might Guy opened the Gate of Death, turning the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a bunch of lucky charms.

But he never expected that Sasuke would practice such a technique that has strict requirements for physical fitness and training standards, and is also very harmful to the body.

As for who taught Sasuke this technique, the Uchiha clan is actually the least likely candidate.

At least in his current understanding, there are only three people who could obtain this technique silently: Naruto, Danzo, and Orochimaru.

"A hard-working genius? Ha..."

Sasuke glanced in the direction the medical staff had left.

"Effort insults genius, and genius insults effort; who would have thought to put those two words together?"

In Sasuke's opinion, no one could be considered a genius compared to Naruto.

But did Naruto work hard?

All I can say is—as expected!

Although it frequently creates a bunch of clones to conduct research, most of these clones are actually just slacking off in places where the vortex can't see them, or researching some reckless and dangerous tricks.

As for his true self, aside from focusing on physical skills, he spends most of his time doing strange and unusual things.

What Yin-Yang Release, what Truth-Seeking Balls, what countless uses of the Rinnegan…

The research period doesn't last long; basically, once they run out of patience, they just pack up and go off to have fun with women.

Given Naruto's current strength, this can hardly be considered an effort, but it may also be related to his current limitations.

Sasuke, at least, couldn't imagine how much further a creature like this, which was essentially a hand-crafted tailed beast, could be improved.

Does that mean I'm a genius?

After much deliberation, Sasuke realized that despite having the approval of Naruto and Itachi, he didn't believe he could match their talent.

Compared to them, he certainly can't be considered a genius.

And if I were a genius, what would all my hard work over the years mean?

As Hongdou announced the results of the match, the second round began.

Jirobo from Otogakure fought against a minor character from Iwagakure. Both were minor characters, but Jirobo, being a well-known minor character, was clearly of a higher level and successfully advanced.

The third match: Deidara versus Kankuro…

Needless to say, Kankuro's puppet was blown to pieces, and he returned to the stands cursing.

"Fourth match, Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka, please enter the arena."

As soon as Anko finished speaking, Kiba Inuzuka jumped onto the field impatiently.

"Hehe, I'm here!"

Kiba Inuzuka, with Akamaru on his head, eagerly jumped off the stands, looked at Naruto on the stands, and rubbed his nose with his finger.

At this moment, he was not entirely at peace, but his curiosity about Naruto outweighed his fear of the rumors.

We can't just surrender without a fight, that would be too shameful!

Naruto's figure flashed, appearing in the arena like a ghost.

As Hongdou announced the start of the competition, he heard Ya shout loudly.

"Orc clone! Four-legged technique! Fang-to-fang!"

Bang!

After a loud bang, a large crater appeared in the field.

Inside the large pit were a man and a dog, their eyes rolled back in their heads, unconscious.

Naruto clapped his hands and turned to leave.

Kiba Inuzuka's strength, not to mention now, will be considered a minor character even in the future...

There's nothing special about dental incision; you just hold down the drill bits coming from both sides and slam it onto the ground.

No one was surprised by the result; they all looked rather uninterested.

"Naruto Uzumaki wins. The fourth match is between Karin and Hinata Hyuga. Players, please enter the arena."

Red Bean hurriedly announced the result of the match, fearing that Naruto would kill Kiba in the next second.

Fighting Hinata...

Upon hearing this, Naruto looked at the timid, white-eyed girl in the stands.

"Be gentle, Karin."

"Tch, I know..."

Karin leaped down from the stands, hands on her hips, and sized up Hinata.

"So what's your relationship with the adults?"

"It's...it's nothing, please don't misunderstand."

Hinata pointed her finger somewhat shyly as she walked down from the stands.

He kept his head down the whole way, looking timid and submissive.

"What the hell..."

Karin sighed. She really couldn't muster any interest in this guy who had absolutely no fighting spirit.

And with that pitiful look, does the adult like this type?

No, adults like Big Bear!

The person in front of me... is dressed too thickly to be recognized.

"The match begins!"

As soon as Hongdou finished speaking, Karin threw out several dog leashes without saying a word.

Although she has spent the last few years at school, Naruto has already passed on to her the skills that the Uzumaki clan should possess.

Kagura's Mind's Eye, Vajra Seal...

Aside from the more difficult sealing techniques, I've basically learned most of them.

Several chains rushed towards Hinata from behind.

Hinata struck a pose, her small face tense.

"Gentle Fist Technique! Ha!"

The sharp palm strike knocked the chains away, but after a few turns, the chains easily bound her tightly.

Seeing this, Hinata wanted to shout: "Return to Heaven!"

But unfortunately, she won't...

"The winner is Karin!"

Seeing Hinata being restrained and played with, Anko quickly spoke up.

She is, after all, the little princess of the Hyuga main family; nothing can go wrong here.

"Oh…"

In the stands, Neji crossed his arms and gave a disdainful smile.

He had already guessed this situation; Hinata's personality was too cowardly.

Although he harbored resentment towards the main family, his feelings towards Hinata were more of a disappointment and frustration.

However, the atmosphere is delicate right now. Because the opponent is too strong and the Third Hokage is trying to manipulate the match roster, the two remaining teams of Konoha have to stand on the same side and share the pressure from the opponent.

So even though Hinata was eliminated here, he didn't say anything unpleasant.

Hinata, on the other hand, blushed bright red because Karin had tied her up so tightly.

Once the chains were released, it darted away like a thieving little hamster.

"This is not good..."

Tian Tian's expression was grave: "Three out of six people were eliminated. These guys are clearly way too strong!"

In four matches, Konoha eliminated half of the players, and all four victories were achieved with overwhelming force.

If she hadn't been paired with the relatively unknown Shino Aburame, Neji alone would have faced immense pressure to advance.

On the other hand, Hongdou felt that she was being a referee who was having too much free time.

Every match was a crushing victory; she didn't even need to lift a finger in any of them.

Even the most seriously injured Lee Locke did not suffer any life-threatening wounds.

But this only made her feel more depressed, which meant that even excluding Naruto, the overall strength of these four teams from other villages was far ahead of that of Konoha at the same level!
