Chapter 91 Naruto Uzumaki VS Gaara

Konoha is even more lively today than during the Lunar New Year.

The examination hall was packed with people, and many members of wealthy and powerful families came to watch the competition.

In a corner, several ninja heads huddled together, excitedly "sharing information":

"Breaking news! Have you heard? That monster rookie Naruto Uzumaki that the Ninja World Daily was hyping up—" He lowered his voice even further, "has become Jiraiya-sama's apprentice!"

"What?! Jiraiya-sama, one of the Legendary Sannin?"

"Yes, that's a super genius! With the personal instruction of the Three Legendary Sannin, Konoha is about to have another game-changer!"

"God bless Konoha!"

At this moment, the ninja from the neighboring village sitting next to him had already started taking out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Naruto, who happened to be passing by, overheard this and was quite speechless.

Teaching? Almost non-existent!

The main reason is to leverage fame.

Wasn't that his purpose in becoming an apprentice?

After today, the battle for Hokage will officially begin.

Why don't you hurry up and show off the "Jiraiya's Closed Disciple, Naruto Uzumaki" sign to increase your chances in the Hokage battle?

"Sasuke, can you hold on?" Naruto turned his head and glanced at Lee, who was keeping watch, before nudging Sasuke with his elbow.

Sasuke glanced back at Lee, a confident smirk playing on his lips: "Tch~ Just you wait! We'll meet at the top!"

We'll meet again at the summit.

It seems the exam will have to be terminated before the first round is even finished.

but

He still gave his buddy his usual stern warning: "Take it easy, don't crash! I won't have a shoulder for you to cry on! But I can lend you Sakura's shoulder."

Although he never faced off against Xiao Li, he did encounter Coach Kai in the training space.

His lineage has some skill with the Eight Gates Formation.

Unfortunately, although the training space is great for practicing ninjutsu and genjutsu, the body can't enter, so you can only stay in one place!

This is also why Sasuke has been training with Kakashi during the day for the past month.

"Mind your own business, you idiot!" Sasuke retorted immediately. "Don't lose to Gaara! Otherwise, I'll have to take first place!"

Naruto didn't respond, his gaze shifting to the unusually quiet Sakura—she hadn't even made a sound when he poked her?

Sakura-chan was intently twisting the corner of her clothes into a pretzel.

Isn't this Hinata's specialty?

Her opponent was the Sound Ninja Trio, and the immense pressure was practically written all over her face.

It's clear she really wants to win, otherwise she wouldn't be under so much pressure.

Look to the side: Shikamaru from the comparison group.

His good friend has already switched to "lay-down mode," his eyes glazed over, as if to say: "Just surrender, hurry up! I'm tired!"

Naruto knew perfectly well that when it was this guy's turn, he might not even bother stepping onto the ring and would just raise his hands from the sidelines and say, "I surrender!"

I don't have time to comfort Sakura-chan.

The examiner was already standing there, a thousand-word book dangling from his mouth, with a "I'm cool, don't mess with me" look on his face.

Match 1, let's begin!

Uchiha Sasuke makes his appearance!

The moment the name was revealed, the entire audience erupted in cheers!

"It was totally worth it! I came all this way for the Uchiha clan!!"

"I traveled all this way just to see him play!"

"Uchiha! Uchiha!"

The frenzied shouts instantly overwhelmed the entire venue!

The Uchiha clan's reputation, passed down for thousands of years, coupled with Sasuke's status as the sole heir of the Uchiha clan, shines far brighter than Naruto's reputation as a "genius who has only risen to prominence in the last month"!

The two stood in the arena and exchanged a few words.

A few words from Xiao Li drifted over: "Leave it to Whirlpool to fight seven at once," and "This time we're serious!"

Start playing!

Xiao Li had clearly received special training on how to deal with the Sharingan – he kept his head down, focusing on his lower body, and moved so fast that he left afterimages!

However, Sasuke, after special training, is even faster.

boom--

Lee tried to step forward, but was kicked away by Sasuke, who was faster!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Li immediately switched to "super weight loss mode" and swung the weighted sandbags.

boom--

The sandbags slammed to the ground, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust that shocked everyone present.

Sasuke's eyelids twitched violently.

After successfully unloading the weight, Xiao Li transformed into a "human rocket," moving so fast that ordinary people couldn't even see his afterimage.

Unfortunately, his opponent Sasuke was no ordinary person. He was a member of Team 7 and possessed the Sharingan, specifically the three-tomoe Sharingan.

After special training, Sasuke's eyesight improved and his physical abilities became even better!

Physical techniques VS Physical techniques?

Do not!

Sasuke isn't that stupid, so why does he insist on fighting against taijutsu ninjas?

He unleashed his full firepower from mid-to-long range, providing precise coverage!

Although his chakra isn't as massive as Naruto's, Sasuke's ninjutsu bombardment is just as plentiful!

Xiao Li instantly fell into a "true fleeing in panic" mode!

In his desperate situation, Lee roared, "Eight Gates! Open!"

A burst of green light flashed, and the afterimage was amplified once again.

Unfortunately, he was met with Sasuke's signature move—Chidori Sharp Spear—and the 'Lightning Release: Gatling Gun' that he had just learned from Naruto!

Beep beep beep beep~~~

Sasuke instantly turned into a monster, spitting out a series of light bullets from his mouth.

Although it doesn't produce bullets in a line like Naruto's, and its nature transformation isn't as terrifying as Naruto's, it can still easily electrocute a person.

Xiao Li's perfect dodge left a huge afterimage!

However, in the eyes of the three-tomoe jade pendant: even the fastest motion is slow motion!

Whoosh whoosh~

One by one, the light bullets flew out, leaving trails of afterimages.

Sasuke only needs to lightly turn and subtly adjust the direction of the bullets! Lee, on the other hand, has to squeeze every last muscle out of his body to dodge!

Even more fatal is that the Eight Gates Formation has a limited time limit.

Shila-

Just as Xiao Li was exhausted, a dark blue lightning bolt finally struck him.

Clap!

Instantly, Xiao Li seemed to have been struck by lightning, his whole body stiffened and he fell to the ground, his whole body smoking from the electric shock. His watermelon head no longer turned into an afro, and his appearance unexpectedly increased by 3.

Uchiha Sasuke wins!

Next up: Sakura vs. Toshinari!

This time, Sakura cleverly put on earplugs.

Tosukinobu's Sound Ninja skills are indeed powerful, but he can only use them through close-range attacks, and Sakura is waiting for that opportunity to engage in close combat!

She has basically mastered the super-strength taijutsu—a complete set of taijutsu developed by Naruto based on his super-strength.

Tosuki, who wanted to engage in close combat, was given an opportunity by Sakura.

With just one punch, Toscan lost consciousness.

Thankfully, Sakura stopped at the last minute, otherwise she would have almost suffered a skull fracture.

Sakura Haruno wins!

Next: Shino Aburame VS Kankuro

Kankuro knew they weren't really there to compete, so he conceded defeat, wanting to conserve his chakra for the important matter to come.

Despite the boos from the crowd, he didn't care at all.
