Aburame Shino, win the game!

Next: Nara Shikamaru VS Temari

Temari had already stepped down and stood still, her eyes like knives.

Shikamaru, looking like he was saying "This is so troublesome, I'd rather go back to sleep," was about to raise his hands in surrender: "I..."

Swish!

Naruto, a "helpful teammate," pushed him down.

"Naruto! It's me."

Shikamaru fell straight down, lying there looking up at the white clouds drifting overhead, utterly despondent.

Finally, after delivering a brilliant battle of wits, Shikamaru raised his hands in surrender with a sigh of relief: "Referee, I'm tired, I give up!"

Temari's lips twitched slightly: Why did she feel even more frustrated than if she had lost, after winning like this?

Temari, win!

Next: Naruto Uzumaki VS Gaara

Naruto leaps into the arena!

In an instant, boom—

The audience erupted in cheers!

"Here it comes! A clash of titans! Konoha vs. Sunagakure's top genius match!"

"I've been holding back for so long! Just to see the rookie king, Naruto Uzumaki, blow up the stage!"

"Pfft! Is that blond guy the legendary madman who says 'genius is just the threshold to my door'? He's handsome, but his arrogance is off the charts!"

"Sunflower seeds ready! Sit back and wait—let me see why you're so arrogant!"

The entire arena roared: "Attack now!!!"

Naruto looked confidently at the red-haired kid opposite him: Kid, I've wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time!

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 92

Available for purchase at 00:00 on June 13th.

This is my first time publishing a product.

When I used to read books, I often saw other authors' acceptance speeches. I never thought that I would one day write one myself.

This is my first time writing, so I don't know what to write. I'll just chat about something random.

First of all: Thank you, dear readers, for allowing this book to travel from the first round all the way to the third round!

Without the support of all of you readers: following the story, voting for monthly tickets, giving tips, recommending, and adding to your favorites, we certainly wouldn't have reached this point.

I never imagined it would come to this!

＿|￣|●＿|￣|●＿|￣|●

Secondly: Let me lick it again, no, let me praise our editor, Good Luck.

I put Good Luck second because he's too busy and probably won't see this, so... ahem, I'll put you, dear readers, first.

Thanks to good luck in rescuing this book.

Good luck is handsome, handsome, and still handsome!

Although we've never met him and haven't chatted much, it doesn't stop us from being extremely grateful. Without him, this book wouldn't have achieved its current success.

Finally: Let's talk about the extra chapter plan:

[Basic Updates]: Basic daily update of 6,000 words! Three chapters or 6,000 words each. Bonus updates will be calculated based on this.

I studied Computer Science, so my typing speed is actually pretty good.

This is my first time writing a book. I've never liked writing essays since I was a child, and my writing skills are not good either. I always need to revise and edit. However, my typing speed this month is at least faster than last month, and I believe it will get faster and faster in the future.

[Bonus Chapter for First Subscription]: This chapter is calculated based on subscriptions within 24 hours of the book's release!

Let's estimate that this book has around 5000 new readers today, and 3400-3600 paid readers. We'll use the initial subscription of 2000 as a base.

First subscription > 2000 (minimum guarantee): +1 update

First subscription > 2300: +2 chapters

First subscription > 2500: +3 chapters

First subscription > 2800: +4 chapters

First subscription > 3000: +5 chapters

First subscription > 4000 (unlikely): +10 more chapters

[Update to be released around 12 noon tomorrow]

Also, I owe 10 chapters from before, and I'll start making up for it chapter by chapter from now on!

Chapter 93 Mom, Love Me Again

The ultimate geniuses from Konoha and Sunagakure have arrived, and the final showdown begins!

The audience's enthusiastic cheers were so deafening they almost lifted the roof off.

Naruto, bathed in the clamor, looked around and waved, spreading the sun's rays.

On the other end,

Gaara's violent eyes were fixed on Naruto, while a mad, sinister grin spread across his lips.

The fierce killing intent in his eyes almost froze the air.

Every time this dazzling blond boy appears, he challenges and tramples on the faltering boundaries of his own reason.

Only by completely crushing him can I prove my existence!

The bloodthirsty beast that had been suppressed for so long could finally break free of its chains and be free from its cage.

He had waited too long for this moment!

Sensing Gaara's chilling killing intent, Genma Shiranui frowned and his breathing became slightly labored.

Glancing at the other contestant, the blond boy remained calm and composed, smiling confidently as if he didn't care at all.

As expected of the man who says "genius is just the threshold to my discovery," this duel between the two is likely to be exceptionally exciting.

After reciting the rules verbatim, he shouted, "Begin!"

The moment the words fell,

He quickly retreated and quietly landed in a prime spectator position on the field.

Naruto's gaze locked onto the other side, where Little Red Hair's large gourd was already open, and countless fine sands were floating out from inside.

Gaara used this kind of sand in the previous match.

It should be controlled using chakra.

Then try this trick!

Naruto's mind raced, and a plan came to mind.

suddenly,

"Uh-"

Gaara suddenly clutched his forehead and cried out in pain, "No, don't be angry! Mom!!"

"what?"

Naruto looked completely bewildered.

"Mom? Who is this kid calling for?"

"Hey Gaara, are you alright?" Naruto asked with concern, out of humanitarian spirit.

Gaara ignored him, his body stiffening and trembling strangely.

suddenly--

His head was raised like a wild beast, and his eyes, thick with dark circles, were filled with madness: "Kill you! Kill—you—!"

"Oh?"

Naruto stood proudly, a confident smile playing on his lips: "Kill me? I doubt the King of Hell would dare take me. He'd be afraid I'd kick him off the throne and then sit on his throne."

This guy is definitely not normal!

That makes sense. As a Jinchūriki, you experience loneliness, isolation, cold stares, and the allure of the Tailed Beasts. How could anyone not go crazy after being hit by all of that?

It seems that normal people like myself are rare.

This Gaara will probably be a minor villain on his own path to becoming the protagonist!

In that case, Naruto has no intention of indulging Gaara.

His gaze sharpened, and he instantly crossed his palms in front of his chest, his fingertips flying like afterimages.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

With a single spit, a terrifying volume of water, far exceeding that of a lake, erupted forth.

The massive tide transformed into a surging wave, sweeping towards Gaara, who was still trembling in pain, with overwhelming force.

"To use such a terrifying water jutsu in a place without water, is this still a genin?" Genma Shiranui in the VIP spectator seat was shocked.

He swiftly moved his feet and leaped to higher ground to escape!

Now let's look at Gaara.
