Minato Namikaze ended the match in just three moves, and his performance earned him frequent nods of praise from many Chunin and even Jonin.

This match was indeed a fierce battle, and in the end, Inuzuka Tsuru lost by one move.

Naoya Shimura has qualified for the next round.

The quarterfinals are now over, and it's time for the final.

After the quarterfinals, there are no more semifinals, only the final!

In other words, the final match will be a four-way free-for-all. This has both advantages and disadvantages. For the strong players, this match may not be easy, because the weaker players may unite to eliminate the stronger players first in order to secure their ranking.

After a two-hour break, the four of them went onto the field.

Jiraiya clenched his fists involuntarily in the stands, probably even more nervous than when he was promoted from genin to chunin.

Orochimaru noticed that Jiraiya was very nervous, so he walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Geniuses are geniuses because they possess an indomitable spirit! If Zhang Ye is truly a genius, this chaotic battle is just the beginning of his rise to fame in the ninja world; otherwise, he is not suited to be a true ninja!"

Jiraiya nodded upon hearing Orochimaru's words.

Only geniuses can understand.

If Zhang Ye can win this match, his future development will be much smoother.

"Keep it up, Xiao Ye!" Jiraiya thought to himself.

The examiner shouted, "The final round begins!"

The atmosphere in the arena finally reached its peak. Under the watchful eyes and anticipation of everyone, Zhang Ye, Minato, Naoya Shimura, and Nawaki Senju walked onto the stage and stood facing each other.

Naoya Shimura looked at Nawaki Senju, and the two nodded to each other.

Senju Nawaki and Shimura Naoya are considered to be relatively good friends because of their connection to the Hokage.

The two of them had already discussed it beforehand, and if they were both present in the finals, the first person they would deal with would be Zhang Ye.

After all, Zhang Ye posed a significant threat to them.

Zhang Ye also noticed their little tricks, smiled contemptuously, and released the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet.

Minato Namikaze walked up to Zhang Ye, smiled, and said, "I told you I would win, and I'm glad to have the chance to fight you!"

Minato's every move made Kushina, who was resting on the sidelines, purse her lips and mutter, "A fake smile!"

Although he is very talented and handsome, he has a pleasant demeanor and is pursued by many girls in school.

Of course, Zhang Ye is now one of the girls' objects of pursuit.

There were even rumors that Zhang Ye was involved with Minato Namikaze, which excited many girls.

Zhang Ye was also helpless about this, but Kushina solved the problem in a simple and direct way.

They caught the person who spread the rumors, gave them a severe beating, and finally, under her intimidation, forced them to admit their mistake in front of the entire school.

"Me too!"

Zhang Ye didn't say anything; he really wanted to fight Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze laughed heartily, "Then I am truly honored!"

What Minato Namikaze didn't know was that Zhang Ye was referring to his future achievements: the Yellow Flash, the Fourth Hokage, and the one who sealed the Nine-Tails!

To be able to exchange blows with the Yellow Flash, the future Hokage, is an immense honor for Zhang Ye.

In Naruto, Zhang Ye really liked the character Minato Namikaze, who, despite not appearing often, was incredibly powerful.

At a young age, he improved upon the Flying Thunder God Technique created by the Second Hokage and created his own A-rank ninjutsu, the Rasengan.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze's strength is indeed that of a formidable opponent!

So Zhang Ye was fully focused. If he agreed to Minato Namikaze's request, he could brag to people when he returned to Earth that he had defeated the Fourth Hokage!

"The final match, begin!"

The next moment, with the examiner suddenly waving his hand, the battle that would determine who was the number one in the Ninja Academy began!

In the very first instant, before Zhang Ye and Minato could even make a move, Senju Nawaki and Shimura Naoya attacked first!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet Technique!"

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire was fueled by the wind!

The fireball and the whirlwind merged in the air, forming an even more magnificent flame, nearly ten meters in diameter.

"Minato, leave those two to me. I'll fight you after I'm done with them!"

After Zhang Ye finished speaking, he leaped into the fireball!

"Is he out of his mind?!"

"No, the intelligence says that Izayoi Zhang Ye's bloodline limit has an ability to devour flames and enhance his strength."

“Indeed, it seems that Naoya Shimura and Nawaki Senju are getting anxious.”

When Shimura Naoya saw Zhang Ye leap into the flames, a sinister smile crept across his face.

They certainly couldn't forget the information that Zhang Ye could devour flames to increase his strength; there was a trick to this flame!

But the next second, Zhang Ye's performance took them by surprise.

The flames did not disappear; instead, they grew even larger.

All the flames were absorbed by the dragon armor on Zhang Ye's left arm, leaving not a single flame in the air, but a bright green light.

"A gift from the Crimson Dragon Emperor!"

He had only amplified his power less than three times, but the power he used was beyond everyone's imagination.

A fireball with a diameter of over twenty meters... No, it can no longer be called a fireball, it should be called an artificial sun!

Flames erupted from Zhang Ye's left hand, and those outside the arena could feel the scorching heat emanating from the flames.

Previously, Zhang Ye's thinking was completely confined by anime. Just now, he suddenly had a thought: if it can enhance the power of teammates' skills, then can it also enhance the power of enemies' skills?

Although he succeeded, he felt a tearing pain in his left hand. Fortunately, the two people's moves were not very powerful. If a Jonin had used Fire Release, Zhang Ye's left hand would probably have been ruined.

"Take this, Crimson Dragon Emperor's fireball!"

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Spirit-Summoning Toad! (Seeking Recommendations!)

Initially, Shimura Naoya and Senju Nawaki's idea was to add some of Shimura Naoya's unique chakra to the flames, after Zhang Ye completely swallowed the flames.

Naoya Shimura then used a secret technique to defeat him in one move.

The script was well-written, but the development of the story took a far greater turn than they had imagined.

The flames were absorbed, but Zhang Ye released them back in an instant, with a power many times greater than before.

A huge fireball hurtled toward them, its scorching heat singing the hair on their foreheads.

At this moment, Tsunade, who was in the stands, panicked and, ignoring Hiruzen Sarutobi's advice, forced her way through the encirclement and appeared in the arena.

"Soaring Fist!"

Tsunade threw a punch, and a stream of pale green chakra shot out from her fist, landing on the huge fireball in front of her.

boom!!

Tsunade punched a huge hole in the massive fireball.

Tsunade then unleashed several punches, shattering the fireball in front of her without leaving a single spark.

Zhang Ye was startled by Tsunade's sudden appearance, but when he witnessed her unstoppable and monstrous strength, he was stunned.

"This is the strength of an elite Jonin!"

Although Tsunade is still very young, her strength is among the best of the Sannin. Unfortunately, the deaths of her brother and Dan caused her to fall into a slump and wasted her strength.

However, he later possessed Kage-level strength, making him one of the most powerful among the Five Kage.

Zhang Ye's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He vowed to become such a strong person, no, he wanted to become the strongest person in the world.

When the examiner saw that Tsunade had interfered with the match, he also went onto the field.

However, Tsunade ignored her and walked straight to Senju Nawaki's side, hugging him tightly.

"Rope Tree, promise your sister you won't do such dangerous things again!"

"I see!"

Rope Tree's face was flushed, her eyes were darting around, and her hands were flailing wildly; she looked quite disheveled.

The examiner pointed the small blue flag at Shimura Naoya and Senju Nawaki and announced, "Shimura Naoya and Senju Nawaki are disqualified from this match. The final will proceed as scheduled!"

After hearing the examiner's announcement, Shimura Naoya glared at Tsunade with dissatisfaction and angrily walked off the stage.

Although he was a member of the Shimura clan, his background paled in comparison to Tsunade's; she had far too many titles attached to her.

She is known by a series of titles, including the descendant of the first and second generations, the disciple of the third generation, the grand-nephew of their clan leader, and the strongest medical ninja.

Naoya Shimura didn't dare to touch him at all, and besides, his strength was far inferior to Tsunade's.

So he vented all his anger on Zhang Ye.

Everything was caused by Zhang Ye, so he must bear the consequences.

At this moment, Zhang Ye had no idea that Shimura Naoya had taken a grudge against him; his mind was now focused on his only rival.

When the examiner announced, "The competition begins," the two unleashed the most powerful force they had ever possessed.

In the future, Minato Namikaze truly lived up to his name as the Yellow Flash. Putting aside his space-time ninjutsu, his speed alone would give his enemies a real headache.

Moreover, he was quite skilled in shuriken techniques.

The two were evenly matched in speed, but Zhang Ye was far superior to Minato Namikaze in strength.

"Those two are so fast!"

"Zhang Ye is not only powerful in fire ninjutsu, but his speed is also..."

Not only were the students surprised, but even the Jonin showed expressions of utter astonishment.

Their speed is almost comparable to that of a Chunin!
