Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 71: Draining Naruto
The incomparable force was transmitted into the ground through the slender index finger, exploding with terrifying power.

The ground cracked open directly under the girl's fingertips, and a gully spread towards Naruto in front of her.

Under the impact of this blow, Naruto lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.

"Naruto, why don't you do it?"

"I've made it very clear."

The girl's words lingered in Naruto's ears, which made Naruto's eyes suddenly firm.

"So this is what Sakura wanted?"

"You actually want to compete for my position as Hokage."

"But I won't let the position of Hokage go, even if it's Sakura!"

Naruto quickly stood up from the ground, formed seals with his hands, and looked at the girl in front of him whom he had liked for a long time with a firm gaze.

"As for Sakura...just stand behind me obediently from now on!"

"I will gain enough strength to protect Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, and everyone!"

"I will never let...Sakura get hurt again!"

The blond boy's eyes fell on the chest that Sakura had just pointed at, and his eyes were determined.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

The huge amount of chakra was running wild, and the boy expressed his unyielding heart.

Bang bang bang!

Hundreds of shadow clones surrounded the girl.

No, this guy, did you listen to her carefully?

I wanted the other party to hit me hard, so when did I ask him for protection?

Sakura looked at the boy in front of her and hooked her finger at one of Naruto's clones, signaling him to attack.

When Naruto's shadow clone saw Sakura's provocative action, he clenched his fists without hesitation and rushed towards Sakura.

however……

Sakura simply turned sideways, quickly grabbed the shadow clone's wrist, and spun around. The shadow clone was thrown out under Sakura's terrifying strength!
He didn't know if the shadow clone was an illusion, but he felt a trace of Sakura's chakra entering his body and helping to strengthen the clone's resistance.

Bang bang bang!
Any other clones that stand in the way of that clone will be cleared out immediately!

The shadow clones were directly blown up, and a trail of white smoke was emitted...

"I see. By injecting your own chakra, you can strengthen the shadow clone directly and form your own 'weapon' to destroy the other clones?"

"But this operation requires extremely precise control of chakra. It is very difficult to perform this operation while using super strength..."

"Not bad."

Jiraiya had a very sharp eye. He saw through Sakura's actions at a glance and couldn't help but praise her.

Super strength requires extremely high chakra control, and with this skill added, Jiraiya was amazed at the talent of the pink girl.

The reinforced shadow clone smashed through the shadow clones along the way and finally fell under a big tree, disappearing with a bang.

"Okay, so strong..."

Naruto, who was hiding in the shadow clone, couldn't help swallowing as he watched the shadow clone being thrown away and disappearing.

Only at this moment did he clearly realize how big the gap was between himself and the girl in front of him.

But...even so...

He wants to win too!

He did not want……

In no mood……

I don't want it to be like last time.

The pink girl lets him go and faces the powerful enemy alone.

Then he could only hide behind the girl's slender back like a weak kitten.

He had to gain enough strength no matter what.

And now, the person he wanted to protect the most stood in front of him.

At this moment, Naruto had completely forgotten the purpose of this competition, which was to use up his chakra, not to defeat the girl in front of him. Or in other words, Jiraiya didn't expect him to defeat Sakura at all.

So what about Chakra?
Ninja battles are never determined by the amount of chakra.

As long as Sakura is willing, with her super strength, the enlargement of the shuriken and the shuriken shadow clones, these thousands of shadow clones can be cleared out in an instant.

But this goes against the original intention.

"Ahhhh!"

"Sakura!!!"

Countless shadow clones rushed towards Sakura from the front, back, left and right, and each of them had a determined look on their faces.

Sakura looked at the shadow clones that surrounded her, her face not showing the slightest hint of emotion.

The human wave tactic is indeed a very effective option for opponents of the same level or opponents who are much stronger than you.

But the difference between Naruto and Sakura...

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
One after another, the shadow clones were thrown out, smashing the shadow clones along the way. However, in a moment, there were not many of the thousands of shadow clones left.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Sakura looked at the shadow clones filling the entire space once again with an unchanged expression. The opponent had too much chakra.

If you want to drain Naruto's chakra, it's a physical job.

"Naruto, you can use the Rasengan."

The pink girl looked at the countless Narutos that appeared once again and spoke up to remind them.

"No, no matter what..."

"The Rasengan won't be aimed at Sakura."

The shadow clone closest to Sakura looked at the pink girl in front of him and spoke.

tsk...

Without the Rasengan, it would probably take several hours...

Sakura pursed her lips and could understand Naruto's thoughts.

But if this continues, who will squeeze whom dry if no drastic measures are taken...

Since Naruto doesn't want to use the Rasengan, he needs to use his chakra sparingly.

Thinking of this, Sakura took out two kunai from her ninja tool bag and held them in her hands.

One forehand grip and one for underhand grip.

The kunai is like a dagger, the forehand grip is suitable for strong attacks, while the backhand grip is more stealthy.

"Have you started saving your chakra?"

Jiraiya sat cross-legged on a stone at the edge of the field, supporting his cheek with one hand, and looked at the pink girl in the field and couldn't help but speak.

When he first learned that the old man had accepted a new disciple, he didn't understand.

In fact, his thoughts at that time were consistent with those of Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.

You are so old, why are you still imitating young people and taking in apprentices?

The Hokage is already busy with political affairs, why bother dragging his old body into more trouble?

But I thought of what the pink girl said just now.

A child with this kind of character should not be accepted as a disciple.

Not only this child, I'm afraid the old man himself will also feel regretful...

If Sakura hadn't become Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, Jiraiya himself would probably have been tempted.

But now this child has become his fellow disciple, and is also growing step by step under the old man's guidance.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sun hanging high in the sky gradually slid down towards the horizon, and the dim sunset fell on the pink girl.

Sakura panted lightly and supported herself on her knees, looking at the golden-haired boy who fell to the ground after being beaten by her.

Even though Sakura is much stronger than Naruto, the opponent's chakra amount is not comparable to Sakura's.

Finally squeezed this guy dry...
