Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Chapter 93 Intimidation

If Temari could beat him in the original story, then Temari, whose strength has been nerfed now, would naturally have an even easier time.

He doesn't even need to show off his high intelligence.

Temari was indignant. "If my three-star fan were still here, what would little Nara Shikamaru be worth?"

Outside the arena, Kakashi watched Orochimaru leave with wary eyes.

Sasuke noticed Kakashi's head was covered in cold sweat and couldn't help but purse his lips. His assessment was—not as good as Naruto!

After Orochimaru's figure completely disappeared, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Sasuke, saying, "Don't listen to Orochimaru's instigation. If you want to gain power—you can do it just as well staying in the village."

"Let's go watch the game."

Sasuke remained noncommittal and turned to leave.

Kakashi felt a headache coming on; he could sense it—Sasuke was vaguely interested, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided the topic.

"First Naruto, now it's Sasuke—"

Sakura, when are you leaving? You should let the teacher know beforehand.

The fifth match.

Karin Uzumaki vs. Tenten: A battle between two girls.

"The Uzumaki clan? You're from another village? Why don't you come to Konoha?!"

The Konoha ninjas turned their gazes toward Karin, their eyes filled with a strange light.

Mito Uzumaki, wife of the First Hokage; Kushina Uzumaki, wife of the Fourth Hokage; and Naruto Uzumaki, the current Jinchūriki.

The Uzumaki clan and Konoha are too deeply intertwined, and given the blood oath they made back then—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Uzumaki are part of Konoha.

Looking at the two girls standing opposite each other, Moonlight Gale declared, "Let the battle begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless kunai, shuriken, chain clubs, and other unidentified ninja tools were launched into the sky.

"Diamond Lockdown!"

With a whoosh, several golden chakra chains stretched out from behind Karin, forming a wall that deflected all the attacks from the ninja tools.

"I can actually see this technique—"

Kakashi returned to the stands, looking down at the chakra chains flying below, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

Sasuke couldn't help but glance at Karin sideways. He hadn't expected that the usually shrewish girl was actually quite strong.

Ding ding ding————

The ninja tools struck the chakra chains but couldn't break through the defenses. Tenten became impatient and began to unleash her ultimate attack.

"Double Rising Dragon!"

The two scrolls unfurled into a dragon shape, releasing a greater number and denser distribution of concealed weapons than before.

Seeing this, Karin withdrew her Adamantine Lock, and chakra chains formed a hemisphere around her to block the incoming projectiles.

At the same time, a chakra chain pressed against the ground and rushed towards Tenten, binding Tenten's feet and causing her to fall.

Then, more chakra chains rushed over and bound Tenten into a rice dumpling.

"The victor is Karin Uzumaki!"

The sixth match.

-

Aburame Shino ys Katsu Sakura · Kick.

Zaku used a special device on his arm to unleash a powerful slashing wave. Shino dodged while observing, keenly perceiving Zaku's weakness.

He quietly released insects to block the air vents of the special device, preventing the air-cutting wave from being emitted. Sak then suffered a backlash and was defeated!

The seventh match.

Toshi Kinu vs. Akimichi Choji.

The word "fat pig" from Tos angered Choji, and the Human Bomber charged at him. Tos leaped away to avoid the Human Bomber, while Choji crashed into the wall.

Toss placed his palm on Choji's massive body and launched a sonic attack, knocking Choji unconscious and winning easily.

The eighth match.

Two Genin from the Mist Village fought each other; one forfeited, and the other won outright.

The ninth match.

Qin Hammer vs. Inuzuka Kiba.

After the two tested each other with two moves at the start, Inuya Kiba unleashed his ultimate move—Beastman Technique!

Kiba Inuzuka and his ninja dog Akamaru stacked on top of each other, transforming Akamaru into a clone identical to himself, and the two launched a high-speed attack together.

Koto uses sound illusion to interfere with Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru's vision, causing them to see multiple afterimages, while using her agility to dodge.

When Kiba Inuzuka was exhausted, Koto jumped into the air and threw a large number of senbon needles to end the battle.

The tenth match.

Neji Hyuga vs. Hinata Hyuga.

"Oh, is it Hinata's turn now? —"

Naruto finally perked up, cheered Hinata on, and then turned his gaze to Neji, saying meaningfully, "Fight well, don't let anyone look down on you."

You dare bully your sister? How could you do such a thing? — If you've got the guts, go and take down the culprit, the three generations of old men.

Hearing Naruto's words, those who didn't know the inside story were completely bewildered, while those who knew the truth had a slight glint in their eyes—Neji, the one in question, snorted coldly and ignored him.

Hinata and Neji stepped onto the ring and stood facing each other. Neji then began his speech.

"Before we begin the war, I would like to offer Hinata a piece of advice—"

call out!

A kunai flew away, brushing against Neji's face.

Naruto said, "Before we start the battle, I also wanted to advise Neji-sama—cough cough, wrong, anyway, stop talking nonsense and just start fighting, okay?"

"You've gone too far, blondie!" Neji said coldly. "You can protect her for a while, but not forever. Letting her understand her weakness this morning is for her own good!"

"Whether you're weak or not, finish your fight first—referee, it's your turn to do your job!"

Naruto shouted at Hayate the Moon.

"Naruto Uzumaki, cough cough—you're not allowed to interfere with the exam!"

After issuing a warning, Hayate Gekko said, "Hinata Hyuga, cough cough—Neji Hyuga, are you two ready?"

Hinata said softly, "Neji-nii-san, although I don't know what you want to say, I'm ready for a battle with you."

Neji said with a sour face, "I hope it's true, as you say, that you're ready."

As they spoke, the two adopted the same stance, which was the starting position of the Hyuga-ryu Gentle Fist.

"Battle begins."

The two charged toward each other, their fists and palms colliding along the way, leaving afterimages and pale blue chakra dancing in the air.

"Eight Trigrams, Thirty-Two Palms!"

Hinata, who was struggling to withstand the attack, made a move, but Neji blocked it with a simple Gentle Fist and then countered with the same move, Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms.

Thump thump thump—Hinata was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.

"Is this what you meant by 'ready'? You're too weak—Hinata-sama, if I may be so bold, someone as weak as you is simply not fit to be a ninja—"

Neji walked slowly toward Hinata. Hinata stood up in a disheveled state, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stared wide-eyed with bulging veins at the corners of her eyes.

White Eyes - Intimidating Power!

The air seemed to groan as a terrifying pressure enveloped Neji, sending him flying and crashing heavily against the wall behind him, knocking him unconscious.

"Neji!"

Tenten, Lee, and Might Guy immediately jumped down, and the medical ninja rushed over as well.

The entire audience erupted in uproar; no one had expected this outcome.

The renowned genius of the Hyuga clan has actually lost!

"What kind of move is that?!"
