Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Why does Muzan call him "brother"?

Kabuto dared not look at Rei Amamiya.

"Muzan Kibutsuji defeats Kabuto Yakushi!"

The sound of moonlight and swift wind rang out.

However, all that could be heard in Kabuto's mind was Muzan's cry of "Brother."

He stood up, gave Muzan a deep look, and then left the training ground with the medical ninja.

Chapter 421 Advanced Skills? ? ?

Muzan returned to the stands, and Naruto rushed towards him with an excited smile on his face.

"As expected of Muzan! He's amazing!"

Naruto gave Muzan a thumbs up.

Muzan slightly raised his chin: "That's right."

Naruto's smile grew even brighter as he followed Muzan back to Kakashi's side.

Kakashi glanced at Muzan, but before he could speak, Muzan raised his hand and said, "I know I'm very strong, no need to praise me anymore."

Kakashi: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Who wants to praise me?

Kakashi shifted his gaze to the electronic bulletin board.

Two names quickly appeared above:

Kankuro VS Kenmizumi!

"It's that ninja from Sunagakure."

Sakura looked at Kankuro as he walked down from the stands.

"We still don't know what kind of attack methods he has."

Sakura pursed her lips.

"Puppetry".

Muzan told her in advance.

Sakura: "..."

Suddenly, I had no expectations left.

Naruto looked at Muzan curiously: "How did Muzan know?"

Muzan pointed at Kankuro's back: "That's his puppet on his back!"

Naruto scratched his head. Kankuro was indeed carrying something on his back, but it was covered with a black cloth, so most people would just assume it was a weapon.

"Who does Muzan think will win?"

Kakashi rested his chin on his hand, glancing at Muzan out of the corner of his eye.

"Kankuro."

As soon as Muzan finished speaking, Kenmi Sumi on the training ground was already bound by the puppet.

"I concede."

Kenmei's voice came through.

Hayate Gekko announces the result: "Kankuro wins against Misumi Kensuke!"

Kankuro's lips curled into a disdainful smile. But when his gaze fell upon Muzan's mocking expression, the smugness on his face vanished without a trace. He slung the puppet over his shoulder and walked up to the stands with a gloomy expression.

Muzan pursed his lips, thinking, "Kankuro's mental fortitude isn't very strong!"

The name Uchiha Sasuke appeared on the electronic bulletin board, and another name was Akado Yoroi.

Akado, Misumi, and Kabuto are in the same team. Although they appear to be Konoha ninjas, they are actually Sound Ninjas.

Sasuke walked towards the stands, while Naruto and Sakura watched his retreating figure with vastly different expressions.

Naruto's eyes were filled with strong confidence; he didn't believe Sasuke would lose to Akado Armor at all.

Sakura's eyes were filled with worry; the mark on Sasuke's neck kept flashing through her mind.

"Lord Amamiya," Anko approached Rei Amamiya from behind, her voice low and her eyes filled with worry, "If Sasuke Uchiha participates in the preliminaries in his current condition, he will be seriously injured, perhaps even..."

They might even die in the qualifiers.

That kind of extreme pain was simply beyond what a genin like Uchiha Sasuke could endure.

Rei Amamiya glanced at Anko with a slight smile: "Anko, I've already tried to persuade Sasuke, but he doesn't want to give up the preliminaries. Let's respect his choice."

"But……"

Red Bean's words were interrupted by Amamiya Zero.

Rei Amamiya looked at Anko earnestly and assured her, "Don't worry, with me here, Sasuke will be fine. Anko, if you don't believe Uchiha Sasuke, please try believing me!"

Looking at the sincere smile on Amamiya Rei's face, Aoko felt a stirring in her heart, and her anxious emotions were instantly and easily soothed.

Her gaze returned to the competition field.

Muzan was fully aware of the results of the preliminary rounds, and he preferred to upgrade his skills rather than watch his food kill each other.

A blue electronic screen unfolded before Muzan's eyes.

[Please select three skills from the following list for fusion and upgrade: Universal Pull, Kotoamatsukami, Blood Curse, Tailed Beast Ball, Octopus Leg Clone Technique, Koi-rei Yae-ko, Black Thunder Drive, Shadow Binding Dance, Senra Thousand Realms, Eight Prisons Collapse, Universal Blood Curse, Boundless Heart Domain, Eight Trigrams Piercing Clouds, Corrupted Bone Hidden Crack, Summoning of the Hundred Demon Acid Sea, Heavenly Net... Click to expand]

Muzan chose to continue upgrading the Tenraku skill.

He already had an idea.

It's a good opportunity to integrate the skills I just acquired.

【Ding! 】

[Please confirm whether to fuse and upgrade Heavenly Net, Sky-Slaying Wave, and Sound Piercing Wave?]

【whether】

Muzan clicked "Yes".

Both Slash Wave and Sonic Pierce are sonic attack skills, and the spider silk also produces a subtle sound during the bouncing process.

These three skills are quite well-matched.

【Ding! 】

[Heavenly Net, Sky-Slicing Wave, and Sound Piercing Techniques confirmed successful!]

[Integration in progress...]

[Skill fusion successful!]

[The fusion skill is currently being upgraded...]

【1, 2, 3...】

[Skill upgrade successful!]

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking a new skill—Heavenly Net!]

The name Tianluo remains unchanged.

The skill descriptions on the back of the cards in front of Muzan had changed.

[Tenroku Skill Introduction: The Extinction Threads are compressed into threads with a diameter of 1 micrometer, invisible to the naked eye (except for the Byakugan). Their hardness and sharpness remain unchanged. Each thread contains compressed Two-Tails chakra, which explodes upon contact. The Extinction Threads can freely switch between a blade mode and a sealing mode. In sealing mode, sealing runes appear on the surface of the threads. Once touched by the Extinction Threads, the body will lose control and become immobile. Even if the threads create wounds on the body, the sealing runes remain, and the seal remains unobstructed. The Extinction Threads also gain two advanced skills… [Expand]

Muzan clicked "Expand".

[Advanced Skill 1 - Void Cicada Slash: When the annihilation thread slices through the air, it generates countless vacuum sonic blades that surround the enemy. These blades can cut through any target within a 300-meter radius and are undetectable to the enemy.]

[Advanced Skill Two - Netherworld Tremor: Annihilation Silk can weave a sonic cage. The air density inside the cage can be adjusted to the highest point. Any action of an enemy inside the cage will trigger a sonic tremor. The tremor resonates with the enemy's heartbeat, increasing the enemy's heart rate by 200 times, causing the heart to burst.]

"Muzan, what are you laughing at?"

Kakashi's voice came from beside me.

Muzan shifted his gaze from the cards to Kakashi beside him.

The system screen disappeared from Muzan's peripheral vision. He glanced at the battle below, his smile unchanged: "I'm happy for Sasuke's victory!"

Kakashi watched as the cursed seals gradually spread across Sasuke's body: "Sasuke is in trouble now."

Muzan rested his hand on the railing and said in a good mood, "You underestimate Sasuke too much! He was trained by my... sister, after all. How could he possibly lose to an unknown nobody?"

Kakashi stared intently at Sasuke, only to see the cursed seal on Sasuke's body gradually disappear.

His pupils dilated.

next second.

The copper-armored body crashed heavily onto the floor.

Fresh blood kept spilling from his mouth.

Kakashi appeared immediately beside the exhausted Sasuke.

He used his knees to support Sasuke's body as it fell backward.

Kakashi looked at Rei Amamiya, who nodded to him, indicating that he should take Sasuke away to seal the cursed seal.

Chapter 422 The preliminary rounds are over!!!

"What happened to Sasuke?"

On the stands, Naruto looked at Sasuke, who had been taken away by Kakashi, and asked in confusion.

Sakura glanced at the oblivious Naruto and subconsciously thought of the mark on Sasuke's shoulder.

She didn't say anything.

Before Naruto could think any further, the names of both teams for the next match had already appeared on the electronic bulletin board.

Naruto Uzumaki VS Kiba Inuzuka!

"It's my turn!"

Naruto jumped up excitedly.

Without needing Sakura's reminder, he rushed towards the training ground without stopping.

Watching Naruto's retreating figure, Muzan's gaze returned to Naruto's opponent, Kiba Inuzuka.

This time, Naruto is different from the original storyline.

Naruto has already mastered Rasengan, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and Wind Release: Pressure Damage under the guidance of Rei Amamiya.

The principle of Wind Release: Pressure Damage is similar to that of Rasengan, and Rei Amamiya also taught it to Naruto.

Moreover, he also learned physical skills quite well.

The competition ended without any suspense.

Naruto won.

When Hayate Gekko made the announcement, Naruto wore a proud smile.

He jumped up and looked in the direction where Amamiya Rei was: "Sister, I didn't let you down!"

Rei Amamiya: "..."

Naruto, all excited, ran up to the stands again and asked Muzan and Sakura, "Wasn't I cool just now?"

Sakura: "...Hehe."

Muzan read out the names of the next pair of opponents on the electronic bulletin board: "Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga".

Naruto immediately forgot what had just happened and looked at Neji and Hinata.

Rei Amamiya glanced at Neji and Hinata as they walked down from the stands, his eyes gleaming.
