Muzan walked towards the stands, as if he heard the sound of his Dao Heart shattering.

Chapter 433 No Need to Fear!!!

"Muzan, you're amazing!"

Sakura's eyes lit up, and she asked admiringly, "How did you do that?"

Muzan shrugged: "Puppet manipulation is very simple. You can learn it just by watching."

Sakura: "..."

She shouldn't have asked.

Naruto: "..."

Why does Muzan seem even more pretentious than Sasuke?

Muzan wasn't pretending at all!

Naruto couldn't understand it.

Shikamaru: "..."

As expected, you can't talk to monsters.

"broken!"

Naruto suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something even more important: "The next match is with Sasuke!"

Naruto quickly looked towards the main entrance, and as he expected, there was no one there.

Where did Sasuke go?

Today is the third exam!

Naruto was so worried his eyebrows almost fell off.

"Why haven't Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke arrived yet?"

Sakura said anxiously.

"Failure to arrive within the stipulated time will be considered a forfeit."

Sakura bit her lower lip.

It was precisely because she knew how much Sasuke valued this match that he even suppressed the thing around his neck in order to participate in it.

Sakura gripped the railing, her eyes lowered, wondering if Kakashi-sensei had dealt with the cursed seal on Sasuke's neck.

There was no use in them being anxious. Muzan looked at Genma Shiranui in the arena and shouted, "Let's postpone Sasuke and Gaara's match to the last one!"

Genma Shiranui: "..."

Where did Uchiha Sasuke go?

He looked helplessly at the other side of the stands.

Many people in the stands came for Uchiha Sasuke. If Uchiha Sasuke's match is canceled, who knows what kind of chaos will ensue.

Genma Shiranui sighed deeply and explained, "Due to special circumstances, the match between Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara has been postponed. Next up is Shikamaru Nara versus Temari!"

Although some in the audience were dissatisfied, they didn't say anything.

As long as Sasuke Uchiha makes an appearance, that's fine.

However, Nara Shikamaru and Temari seem to be two unfamiliar names.

They looked expectantly towards the training ground.

Nara Shikamaru, whose match started unexpectedly early: "..."

That annoying Uchiha Sasuke!

This is so agonizing!

Shikamaru took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly and reluctantly walked towards the steps.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Shikamaru stood on one side of the ground with his hands in his pockets, muttering something under his breath.

Footsteps approached, and he looked at Temari across from him.

Temari holds a giant fan, her eyes are firm and sharp, and she looks heroic.

Seeing the fighting spirit in his opponent's eyes, Shikamaru clicked his tongue lightly.

Genma Shiranui retreated from the battlefield, and Temari eagerly launched the first attack.

She suddenly waved the iron fan in her hand.

A powerful gust of wind flew out from her fan and rushed towards Shikamaru.

"Which one of them do you think will win?"

From the stands, Sakura watched with great interest the stalemate between Shikamaru and Temari.

Unlike the previous two matches, the difference in strength between Naruto and Neji, and between Muzan and Kankuro, was too great.

However, Shikamaru's match was different. Shikamaru and Temari were evenly matched, making the outcome of the match unpredictable.

Naruto clenched his fist, unconditionally supporting the village ninja: "It's definitely Shikamaru! Shikamaru is so smart!"

Neither of them received an answer from Muzan.

They turned to look at Muzan.

Muzan casually said, "Temari will win."

"why?"

Naruto asked, puzzled.

Muzan didn't bother to explain: "Intuition."

Naruto: "Then your intuition must be wrong!"

Muzan: "..."

Ten minutes later.

Shikamaru raised his hands: "I surrender."

"why?"

Naruto immediately shouted at Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru could have won!

Shikamaru glanced at Naruto helplessly.

He was exhausted after such a long stalemate.

Continuing this stalemate is pointless.

"Temari wins."

Genma Shiranui announced the results.

The applause remained enthusiastic.

It was even more intense than the previous two matches.

The fight between Shikamaru and Temari was not significantly different in strength, which made the audience in the stands even more entertained.

Muzan noticed the change in Sakura's breathing beside him.

He looked at Sakura and heard her heartbeat quicken.

Are you nervous?

Muzan hit the nail on the head.

Sakura's lips were a little pale, and she nodded to Muzan: "Mm."

This was the first time she had stood in front of so many people and fought against such a powerful opponent.

She never dared to imagine that she could do it.

Naruto didn't know how to comfort Sakura because he was nervous himself.

Naruto thought Muzan would comfort Sakura, but he found that Muzan didn't say anything even after Sakura left the stands and stood on the training ground.

"Muzan..."

Naruto scratched his head. Wasn't Muzan's question to Sakura just to comfort her?

Why aren't you comforting Sakura?

Naruto asked, puzzled.

Muzan looked at Sakura standing opposite Shino Aburame: "There's nothing to comfort her about. What's the use of comforting her? She'll get used to it."

Nervousness is not necessarily a bad emotion.

If Sakura makes a mistake because of nervousness, she will calm down once the punches and attacks land on her.

Shino Aburame stood in front of Sakura.

He was wearing sunglasses, the stand-up collar obscuring the lower half of his face. His hands were in his shirt pockets, and his gaze was fixed on Sakura across from him through the lenses.

Sakura felt a little dizzy.

The sunlight was too bright and scorching, the crowds were dense, and countless eyes were fixed on us...

"Sakura!"

Naruto shouted at Sakura.

"come on!"

Sakura was taken aback and looked towards the stands.

Naruto's sparkling eyes came into her view, while Muzan's calm black eyes beside Naruto were like a bucket of cold water poured on Sakura.

Sakura was stunned. The dizziness gradually disappeared, and she clenched her fists tightly.

No matter how strong Shino is, he can't possibly be stronger than Muzan!

She was beaten by Muzan's clones for a whole month!

She has nothing to fear from Shino!

Sakura pushed off with her feet, and her body shot towards Shino like an arrow.

Her fist created a powerful gust of wind that grazed Shino's body.

Shino dodged Sakura's punch and quickly retreated.

Shino pushed up his sunglasses. He had to admit that he had underestimated Sakura's speed and strength.

Countless parasitic insects were released from Shino's body, gathering around him like a huge black cloud.

Sakura was not surprised by this scene at all.

It could be said that she had rehearsed the same scenario countless times in her mind before the battle even began.

Sakura quickly retreated, putting some distance between herself and the parasites.

Seeing the parasitic insects flying towards her, Sakura quickly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A massive flow of water spread out beneath her feet, condensing into a gigantic water dragon that flew past her, roaring as it pounced on the parasitic insects in the air.

Chapter 434 Her Brilliance!!!

A hint of surprise flashed in Shino's eyes.

Sakura has become stronger.

In Shino's memory, Sakura was never associated with the word "powerful".

It seems that everyone has grown since graduation.

A dense mass of parasitic insects coalesced into a black wall in front of Shino.
