In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 14: No rules, full-on battle

The exam time started soon, and the morning exam was still a cultural subject.

These questions were not difficult for Yagyu.

After the morning exam, Yagyu and the others quickly went home to eat, and then without even taking a nap, they had to come to the Ninja School to continue the exam.

There are the most exams in the fifth grade, but there is only one graduation assessment in the sixth grade.

The afternoon exams included shuriken throwing, taijutsu duel, survival drills, kunai hand-to-hand combat, and... a no-rules duel.

Kunai hand-to-hand combat is easy to understand. It means using a kunai to fight the opponent. The winner is when the opponent is subdued or killed.

This is the foundation for starting learning in the third grade.

Ninjas are tools for assassination. How can they be without the ability to kill people?

No-rules duel is a subject only taught in fifth grade.

It is also easy to understand that you can use any means to defeat and kill your opponent.

The exam started soon, and the first subject was still shuriken throwing.

Unlike cultural subjects that need to be graded, the afternoon exams are graded on the spot.

The result was no surprise, Yagyu got full marks.

When it comes to the physical skills showdown, Yagyu's opponent is not Uchiha Sasuke.

Because by the fourth grade, it's no longer just a game.

During quizzes and random tests, Iruka can still decide the list freely.

But when it comes to the big exam, Iruka no longer has the final say, there must be fairness.

On the training ground, there was a Chunin next to Iruka. She was not Mizuki from the original work, but a female teacher who was good at medical ninjutsu.

By the third grade, the rules of physical duel were no longer that whoever fell to the ground lost, but the game ended with the opponent being subdued or admitting defeat.

During this period, injuries are inevitable.

When the physical duel began, Yagyu and others started drawing lots and matching their opponents according to their numbers.

The opponent that Yagyu drew was not the nine strongest students in the class, but a girl.

The other party did not admit defeat, after all, admitting defeat means zero points.

Yagyu did not kill him instantly, but instead fought with him for a few rounds and then defeated him in a gentlemanly manner.

Interestingly, the opponent drawn by Uchiha Sasuke was Naruto.

I don't know why, but whenever the opponents are arranged by lot, Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto always meet.

This made Yagyu very suspicious. Could it be that the fate of this pair of "brothers" affected the rules of the world?

In the taijutsu duel between Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, the latter was undoubtedly the winner.

Naruto is now at the bottom of the class, with low scores in all subjects and often leaving his academic papers blank.

If the graduation examination was based on the total score, Naruto would never be able to graduate in his lifetime.

When it comes to the kunai hand-to-hand combat, the opponent is still decided by drawing lots.

However, the atmosphere was completely different from that of a taijutsu duel, as could be seen from the serious expressions of Iruka and the medical teacher.

After Iruka blew the whistle, he only took a few steps back, keeping his eyes fixed on the fighting students. If he found anything wrong, he would intervene immediately.

The opponent that Liu Sheng drew was still not the nine strongest students in the class, but a male classmate who often greeted him on weekdays.

"…Thanks for your advice!"

Just like he did to that female classmate, Yagyu held a kunai and easily blocked the opponent's attacks several times. He suddenly disappeared in an instant and then appeared behind the opponent, with the kunai against the back of her neck, ending the fight.

"As expected of Yagyu, I am no match for you at all."

The male classmate who was almost killed in an instant stretched out his hand and made a seal of reconciliation with Yagyu, without any frustration on his face.

Except for Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto, who felt unwilling to lose to Yagyu, the other students had gotten used to it in the past few years. In their eyes, Yagyu was now an invincible demon king.

Meeting Yagyu in a kunai hand-to-hand combat might be a good thing.

In the following duel, many students had their clothes or skin cut by kunai.

If someone's life is in danger, Iruka will immediately stop it and declare the student who might be killed the loser.

If it weren't for the hand-to-hand combat with kunai, which had been going on since the third grade, many people would be crying in pain right now.

Yagyu still remembers that when they had their first hand-to-hand kunai combat, many of his classmates did not dare to fight and just stood there shaking while holding the kunai.

After the kunai hand-to-hand combat ended, the next round of exams did not start immediately, but the injured students were treated first.

Many students had white bandages or Band-Aids wrapped around their bodies and faces.

Of course, some people's injuries were very minor and healed on the spot.

Soon, the next round of exams began.

It's not a survival exercise, but... a battle without rules.

Immediately, Yagyu and others began to line up to receive equipment.

These equipment include a ninja tool bag containing shurikens and kunai, and gloves with iron plates.

After putting on gloves and fastening their ninja tool bags, Yagyu and others started drawing lots again.

When everyone had drawn their lots and Iruka and the female teacher had arranged their numbers, their opponents came out.

When Yagyu saw his opponent, he was slightly stunned.

The same as him is Uchiha Sasuke.

Immediately, a look of deep joy appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's face.

That’s right, Yagyu’s opponent is Uchiha Sasuke!

Finally matched!

Yagyu's current mood is the same as Uchiha Sasuke's.

In the past few years, Yagyu could only fight with Uchiha Sasuke in small tests and random exams.

But since the final exam in the third grade, Yagyu never met Uchiha Sasuke again.

Moreover, although Yagyu won all the battles in the past few years, he did not get anything out of Uchiha Sasuke.

And now, they have finally been matched again, and it is still a duel without rules.

This is the most valuable duel!
Not only Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke were full of expectations, but all the classmates, Iruka and the female teacher were also full of expectations.

They all wanted to know who was stronger, Yagyu or Uchiha Sasuke, who were both firing on all cylinders.

As each group was determined to win, soon, this much-anticipated showdown finally arrived.

"You're doomed to fail this time!"

In the open space, Uchiha Sasuke and Yagyu stood facing each other.

Looking at Yagyu on the opposite side, Uchiha Sasuke, who had never won a match against him, was full of confidence and said in a proud tone: "I will let you see how big the gap in our strength is."

"I'm looking forward to it, and I hope you won't let me down."

Yagyu raised his index and middle fingers with a smile.

Uchiha Sasuke also raised his index and middle fingers, and said excitedly: "You will not be disappointed!"

"No rules duel, group seven, Yagyu VS Uchiha Sasuke, the battle... begins!"

Seeing that both of them had formed the opposing seal, Iruka blew the whistle without any nonsense.
