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

Countless people flocked from all over the ninja world to Konoha Village just to watch this final match.

As early as half a month ago, the list of genin for the third exam had already spread throughout the entire ninja world.

This Chunin Exam not only features Sasuke Uchiha, the last descendant of the Uchiha clan who is famous throughout the ninja world, but also Neji Hyuga, a genius ninja from the powerful Hyuga clan, and even Muzan Kibutsuji, the bloodline of the legendary Wood Release ninja Rei Amamiya!

In any case, no one in the ninja world can afford to miss such a spectacular match.

Even before the game started, the casino had already begun allowing gamblers to place bets.

As they entered the massive training ground where the third exam was being held, the overwhelming roar nearly drowned out Muzan, Naruto, and Sakura.

Apart from Sasuke, including Muzan, Naruto, and Sakura, all the genin participating in the competition have arrived.

Chapter 431 The First Showdown!!!

"Why hasn't Sasuke arrived yet?"

Naruto scratched his head, but didn't see any familiar figures.

The examiner for this exam, Genma Shiranui, glanced at the candidates and frowned slightly: "Time's up."

Upon hearing Genma Shiranui's words, Naruto and Sakura's faces showed anxiety. They looked towards the main entrance, hoping to see Sasuke's figure.

“Anyway, this isn’t Sasuke Uchiha’s first match,” Muzan said. “As long as he shows up during the match, that’s fine.”

Genma Shiranui's gaze fell on Muzan.

After a brief pause, Genma Shiranui nodded.

"it is good."

Genma Shiranui looked towards the main stands, towards the positions of the Kazekage and Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, stood up from his seat, glanced at the Kazekage sitting next to him, and walked over.

Rei Amamiya stood behind Hiruzen Sarutobi and glanced at the Kazekage.

Beneath the Kazekage robe, Orochimaru's heartbeat quickened slightly.

Orochimaru subtly breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Rei Amamiya's gaze sweeping over him indifferently.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice echoed throughout the entire training ground.

"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha. Thank you all for coming to Konoha to participate in the third Chunin Exam!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.

A faint smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

"Now, I hereby declare the third round of the Chunin Exams officially open!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.

Rei Amamiya glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi. He thought Hiruzen was going to say a lot of things again, but this time Hiruzen actually knew how to keep things short.

His gaze swept across the stands to one side; it seemed that these famous figures still held considerable influence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his seat and sat down.

Genma Shiranui turned to face Muzan and the others.

"The first match is between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga."

"The rest of you move to the stands."

Naruto Uzumaki nervously swallowed, glancing at the nonchalant Neji Hyuga.

Seeing his nervous expression, Muzan reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not shameful to lose."

Naruto: "..."

He stared at Muzan with a look of utter exasperation.

Can this be considered a consolation?

Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud. She walked up the steps with Muzan and stood by the railing, watching the battle below.

Genma Shiranui stepped aside.

Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga faced off in battle.

"Humph!"

I will definitely defeat you!

No matter what, morale must not be low!

Naruto said to Neji with great conviction.

Hyuga Neji smiled but didn't say anything, though his gaze gradually hardened.

He wanted to say the same thing as Naruto.

He absolutely cannot lose.

Because he is Rei Amamiya's apprentice.

The training ground suddenly fell silent.

The once bustling audience seats were now filled with the attention of everyone, all eyes on Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds as Neji stood quietly opposite Naruto, his white kimono and black hair swaying gently in the breeze.

He remained calm and extended his hand towards Naruto.

"Naruto, are you ready?"

Naruto snorted softly, grinned, and his azure eyes gleamed with brilliant light: "Take this!"

He's going to be Hokage!

Naruto formed hand seals, and three clones suddenly appeared beside him.

Naruto and his three clones charged toward Neji simultaneously, the Rasengan spinning rapidly in their hands.

In the stands, Sakura clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming: "That's it! Naruto! Go!"

Muzan glanced at the exceptionally excited Sakura, his gaze landing on her biceps bulging from the effort.

Muzan's mood immediately improved.

Sakura's muscles look really good!

As they approached Neji, Naruto's clones separated from his main body and attacked Neji from all directions.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Naruto shouted, "Rasengan!"

Muzan's lips twitched in the stands. He really didn't understand why Naruto had to make such a loud noise.

Neji's eyes narrowed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Naruto's image was reflected in his pupils.

His steps were light and swift, like a white egret in flight.

His hands moved with a dazzling, almost supernatural quality.

Veins bulged on both sides of his face, and his pupils emitted a pale purple light.

"Eight Trigrams Piercing the Clouds, Form Two, Tide Rising and Turning".

The water swelled up from Neji's feet.

Like a transparent ribbon, it enveloped Neji.

Naruto blasted the Rasengan he had just created towards the water.

The water flow looked like a thin film, and he refused to believe he couldn't break it.

Naruto put his hand into the water.

His eyes lit up, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Naruto's expression completely changed.

His clone disappeared.

Not only that, even the Rasengan in his hand disappeared.

Naruto's pupils widened. How could this be?

wrong!

Naruto tried to pull his hand back, but his chakra was disappearing!

The water in front of him can absorb his chakra!

What kind of strange trick is this?

However, Naruto's hand seemed to be completely enveloped by the water, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.

The scene before them drew cheers from the spectators in the stands.

"Luckily, I bet on Hyuga Neji to win!"

"As expected of a disciple of a Wood Release ninja!"

"Hey! I thought Naruto Uzumaki was Rei Amamiya's younger brother, so I pinned him down!"

"Looks like we're going to suffer a huge loss!"

"..."

Sakura stared intently at the water flow she was controlling, her expression serious: "Amazing!"

She was a little worried about Naruto.

I never expected Hyuga Neji to be this strong!

"Naruto, just give up."

Neji looked at Naruto, whose face had turned slightly pale, and offered some words of advice.

Naruto gritted his teeth: "Impossible!"

His figure suddenly flew backward and crashed to the ground.

Dust flew everywhere.

Genma Shiranui glanced at Naruto lying on the ground; it seemed the battle was over.

The next second, Naruto stood up from the ground again.

Neji raised an eyebrow in surprise; Naruto's chakra should be almost depleted.

Naruto, panting heavily, gave Neji a defiant smile: "I told you, I won't lose!"

He formed the hand seal again.

Neji frowned as he watched Naruto form hand seals.

How can Naruto still have chakra?

Furthermore, judging from the hand seals, this technique requires a large amount of chakra!

We can't let him succeed in his spell!

Neji gritted his teeth: "Eight Trigrams Piercing Clouds, Fourth Form, Oboro Ame Senpuku".

Water droplets appeared around Naruto, instantly extending into finger-length water needles that pierced towards him.

Naruto was almost completely surrounded by a dense array of water needles.

Naruto gritted his teeth; no matter what, he was determined to complete the Summoning Jutsu!

Soon, Naruto realized something was wrong.

His body was no longer able to move.
