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

Chapter 84: Unbeatable Victory
Looking at the terrain below that was changed by Kurotsuchi's earth escape technique, Ohnoki couldn't help but touch his beard with satisfaction.

His vision was so sharp that he could tell at a glance that the little girl who used wind jutsu was now exhausted and her chakra was running low.

"Haha, Master Fengying, I'll give in to you this time."

Ohnoki looked at Rasa, who had a subtle expression on his face, and fired his weapon close to Rasa's face.

"Temari is still a little bit inferior to the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage."

Rasa looked at Ōnoki's indifferent response.

Oonoki could see that Temari was no longer capable of success, and naturally Rasa could see it as well.

But if he showed any anger at this moment, he would lose Fengying's composure.

Seeing that Rasa was neither arrogant nor impatient, Ohnoki did not say anything else and focused his attention on the competition on the field where the outcome had already been decided.

……

"Earth Escape: Open the Earth and Dig!"

He used Lava Escape to temporarily avoid the countless wind blades and successfully hid behind Gang Zhili's technique. He then raised his hand and used another advanced Earth Escape.

The entire ground began to change as the black soil spell was cast. The ground began to rise continuously and eventually formed a volcano-like shape.

Then countless rocks burst out from the crater and hit Temari!

In fact, Kurotsuchi had already held back in this move. She possessed the three chakra attributes of fire, water, and earth. She could easily make the rocks ejected from the hill be mixed with flames.

In the original novel, she once used this trick in cooperation with her father Huang Tu to clear out a large number of White Zetsu.

At this moment, Temari, who had exhausted her last chakra and used the Zan Zan Dance, was no longer able to fight back against the countless erupting rocks and could only dodge in a panic.

And Kurotsuchi rode the stone man that was cut horribly by the wind blade and came in front of Temari.

"Don't underestimate the ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village."

"But you're not bad, I recognize you."

Heitu stepped on the stone man's head against the light and looked at the blonde girl in front of him with a confident smile on his face.

Temari looked at the black-haired girl in the red ninja outfit, pursed her lips and spoke reluctantly:

"I lost……"

As Temari finished her words, Shiranui Genma came out from somewhere, looked at the two girls and spoke to the audience:

"The winner is Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure Village."

As Genma Shiranui announced the winner of this competition, the audience burst into applause even louder than the previous one.

Although the duel between Naruto and Neji was also exciting, most of it was a physical battle.

In this battle, two of the most powerful men in the village used various ninjutsu continuously.

Most of the people in the audience were civilians, and they were just watching a special effect, so naturally they found this scene more exciting.

Shiranui Genma glanced at the venue and said lazily:

"Take a five-minute break. The earth-style ninjas will repair the field. The next contestant should get ready."

In the contestants' lounge, Naruto finally extricated himself from the tangle with Rock Lee and couldn't help but pout.

"By the way, why hasn't Sakura come yet?"

“This is almost the third game.”

Naruto couldn't help but worry about Sakura.

The black-haired boy looked at the golden-haired boy beside him with calm eyes. At this moment, he felt that he was gradually getting into the state.

After witnessing two exciting battles, Sasuke's fighting spirit began to boil.

This might be what Kakashi taught me to call a 'sword'.

A knife is not a sword.

The sword is a gentleman's weapon, while the knife is designed entirely for combat.

A knife is a killing weapon that exists to lick the blood of the enemy.

Back then, the White Fang of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo, made his name on the battlefield with just a sword in his hand.

At that time, even the three ninjas of Konoha were suppressed by Hatake Sakumo.

At this moment, the red-haired boy not far away seemed to sense Sasuke's fighting spirit. He opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Sasuke who had his eyes closed.

Mom, this guy...

His blood must be delicious...

Gaara's murderous intent was revealed without any concealment, which made everyone in the lounge look at him involuntarily.

"What's going on with this guy?"

Naruto looked at Gaara and frowned.

"Showing your murderous intent so unscrupulously in a place like this will incur public outrage..." Akagi scratched his head naively and looked at Gaara in distress.

"Haha, you can't wait any longer."

Sasuke opened his two-magatama eyes and looked at Gaara through the crowd with a sneer.

The two people's gazes met in mid-air like a thorn against a wheat spike.

"This guy……"

Naruto looked at Gaara warily. He always felt that he seemed to have some similarities with this guy.

"It's better not to take action here."

A faint voice sounded in the corner of the room.

Everyone then noticed that a young man wearing sunglasses had been staying here for some time.

"…If you want to take action, you can do it on the field."

Shino pushed up his glasses, half of his face hidden under the high collar of his oversized coat.

"you are?"

Akatsuki looked at Shino bewilderedly.

"..."

"…How rude! I am your rival, Aburame Shino."

The boy in sunglasses was silent for a while, then spoke calmly.

"Ah?!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I just forgot about you."

Akagi bent his tall body towards Shino to apologize. He was a very honest man and would never lie.

But sometimes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Aburame Shino remained silent, his sunglasses blocking his eyes, making it impossible for others to tell what his emotions were.

"……It doesn't matter."

As Aburame Shino spoke, the situation eased slightly.

At this moment, Genma Shiranui in the venue had already notified Akagi and Aburame Shino to go on stage.

"Looks like it's our turn."

Akagi scratched his head and looked at Shino with a simple expression.

"Ah."

With his hands in his pockets, Shino walked towards the passage leading to the venue, and met the victorious Kurotsuchi head-on.

Heitu ran quickly to the contestants' lounge and found Chitu who was ready to set off.

"Akagi, keep going!"

"Defeat that...who?"

"Anyway, the only thing to do is to win!"

Heitu patted Chitu's shoulder vigorously and spoke with a smile.

Kurotsuchi's words made Shino pause for a moment before he continued walking towards the venue.

-

Sakura sat on the roof of the auditorium, biting a sweet and sticky meatball while looking at the red clay stone man below being riddled with holes by a bunch of bugs. She couldn't help but glance at the black sesame seeds on the meatball.

Feeling a little off-putting.

"Why are you sitting here?"

Sakura didn't know when a person appeared and sat next to her.

"Aren't you sitting here too?"

Sakura glanced at Kakashi and swallowed the last meatball.

"Naruto seems very worried about you."

Kakashi glanced at the armed girl beside him.

Sakura was unmoved by what she heard and simply responded.

At this point, the outcome of this competition has been decided.

Countless bugs crawled onto Akagi's body and ate his chakra.

Shino once again ensured his undefeated record.
