Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Outside Konoha Village.

Sixth training ground.

"The first match is over."

Congratulations to the ten people who have advanced.

"You have received a generous reward of merit points."

"Next up is the second match."

Chiba's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to every corner.

The voice just fell.

Chiba waved casually.

"Buzz—"

The ten arenas began to shake violently.

They begin to move towards the center, their wooden edges interlocking.

"Snap! Snap!"

In the blink of an eye.

The ten small arenas were integrated into one.

It has been transformed into a super arena, hundreds of meters long and wide, with maximum visual impact.

"Second round rules: defending the title mode."

"The person aiming for first place, come up on stage."

"Accept the challenges from the remaining nine."

"If you can beat all the challengers, first place is yours."

"After selecting the first place, the second and third place will be determined in the same way."

This statement came out.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

A series of challenges?

Isn't this just a war of attrition?

Whoever goes up first will face the challenge of being outmatched by nine equally skilled opponents.

No matter how strong you are, your chakra will eventually be depleted.

These rules seem fair, but in reality, they put tactics to the ultimate test.

"That's so unfair!"

"The first one to go is definitely going to suffer!"

Many ninjas from other villages echoed this sentiment.

Konoha is clearly trying to wear down the genius from the other village by using sheer numbers!

Just as everyone was discussing it.

Chiba clapped his hands.

Several ANBU ninjas came up carrying trays.

The tray contained ten test tubes that emitted a pale green fluorescent light.

"You need not worry about the consumption."

"This is the latest premium soldier ration pill developed by the Konoha Research Department."

"After each battle, the defending champion may drink one bottle."

Within ten seconds.

"Even a Jonin-level ninja can recover their stamina and chakra to their peak condition."

"..."

As Chiba finished speaking.

The examination hall fell silent once again.

Returning to peak condition in ten seconds?

What kind of miraculous potion is this!

Onoki almost fell off his chair.

If Konoha possesses such strategic-level resources.

On the battlefield, wouldn't each Konoha ninja have two lives?

The Raikage's eyes turned red.

He stared at the test tubes, wishing he could snatch them away immediately.

The Cloud Village excels at protracted warfare, and with this thing, they are like tigers with wings!

The entrance to a dark passage.

Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

This is his masterpiece, combining Hashirama cell extract with Tsunade's medical ninjutsu.

Lord Chiba truly understands him.

Exhibiting it directly in front of the four major powers—that's a resounding defeat.

With this medicine...

The disadvantages of the "gauntlet" strategy have completely disappeared.

What truly matters is absolute hard power!

Whoever dares to be the first to stand up has absolute confidence to crush the entire audience.

The ten Chunin who had advanced looked at each other.

Who will be the first to take the lead?

"100,000 merit points".

"I, Uchiha Sasuke, am going to take him."

A cold voice broke the silence.

Sasuke leaped into the air and landed steadily in the center of the 100-meter arena.

He crossed his arms, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Those crimson Sharingan eyes swept over everyone in the audience.

Arrogant.

Arrogant and overbearing.

Fugaku Uchiha was so excited that he trembled all over.

Good son!

That's the kind of pride we should have!

Let the entire ninja world see the brilliance of the Uchiha clan!

Sasuke stood on the stage, but his mind was incredibly calm.

Although the tribe is not lacking in resources.

But he wants to show the style of the Uchiha on the fighting stage!

"bring it on."

"Who's going to come up and die first?"

Sasuke beckoned with his finger.

His arrogant attitude instantly ignited a powder keg.

"You bastard Sasuke, don't be so arrogant!"

Naruto yelled and rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge forward.

"Idiot, check the situation first."

"Those three people from the other village haven't made a move yet."

Shikamaru, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled Naruto back.

as predicted.

That little black guy from Kumogakure can't hold back anymore.

"Uchiha?"

"I heard you have very sharp eyes."

"I'll see if you can keep up with my speed!"

"boom!"

A shallow crater was blown open in the ground.

The little black guy transformed into a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Sasuke's face.

Trey.

The fastest genius among the new generation of Hidden Cloud Village.

"Too slow."

Sasuke tilted his head slightly.

His Sharingan had already discerned the opponent's movement trajectory.

This kind of straightforward attack is full of flaws.

Sasuke brought his right hand together like a knife, and lightning-style chakra gathered wildly.

Chidori!

The piercing chirping of birds echoed throughout the venue.

Sasuke neither dodged nor evaded, but instead thrust his fist straight at Trey's.

Lightning Release against Lightning Release!

"boom--"

A blinding burst of lightning erupted.

The violent shockwave stirred up a gust of wind.

Raikage suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the arena.

He had absolute confidence in the lightning techniques of his village.

Those Uchiha brats who dare to confront us head-on are practically asking for death.

however.

The lightning dissipated.

Trey clutched his right arm in pain and knelt on one knee.

His lightning armor was forcibly torn apart, leaving a deep, charred scar on his right arm that exposed bone.

Sasuke stood unharmed, the light of Chidori in his hand still dazzling.

"The transformation of chakra properties is too crude."

"The changes in form are even more of a mess."

"The Lightning Release of Kumogakure is nothing special."

Murder and kill!

Raikage was so angry he nearly crushed the railing in front of him.

"You bastard!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Trey attempted to leap up again.

A cold glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

Body Flicker Technique!

He appeared behind Trey like a ghost and delivered a powerful whip kick to the back of his neck.

"Bang!"

Trey's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

Sold out instantly.

The entire audience held their breath.

Is this the genius of the Uchiha clan?

Clean and efficient, ruthless and vicious.

"The first one."

Sasuke flicked his wrist.

He didn't even catch his breath.

He glanced at the recovery potions on the sidelines, but had no intention of using them.

Fighting this kind of guy isn't even a warm-up.

"Who's next?"

Sasuke's gaze swept over the remaining eight people.

Fu from Takigakure shrank back.

Although she is a Jinchūriki, she has an innocent personality.

When faced with an opponent of this god-like killing prowess, one instinctively feels fear.

Gaara stepped forward.

The Shukaku inside him was roaring madly, craving blood.

"Uchiha Sasuke".

"Your blood must taste delicious."

Gaara's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper being rubbed.

Sand poured out from the gourd behind him, turning into sand snakes.

Kazekage Rasa clenched his fists nervously.

Gaara is Sunagakure's last trump card.

If even he loses, Sunagakure will become a complete laughingstock.

Sasuke looked at Gaara, his Sharingan narrowing slightly.

He could sense a vast and chilling power within the other person's body.

"interesting."

Sasuke formed hand seals again.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!

Dozens of flames hurtled towards Gaara like meteors.

The battle broke out again.

Chiba sat in the main seat, watching with great interest.

These little guys are growing up much faster than in the original story.

Right.

Environment shapes people.

Inside the inward-curling leaf that he created himself.

If you don't train hard, even a common ninja can trample on your head.

the other side.

Sasuke's fire jutsu was completely blocked by Gaara's sand.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

Sasuke was instantly enveloped in a cloud of yellow sand.

Gaara clenched his fist.

"Sandfall Funeral!"

The yellow sand contracted violently, making a squeezing sound that made your teeth ache.

Fugaku Uchiha's heart jumped into his throat.

But he held back and didn't say anything.

"Bang!"

Yellow sand was scattered all over the ground.

There was only a piece of crushed wood inside.

Substitution Technique!

When did you form the hand seal?

Gaara suddenly looked up.

Sasuke had already leaped into the air, his hands crackling with lightning.

This time it wasn't Chidori.

It was a variant of Lightning Release that Uchiha Shisui guided him to develop.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!"

A five-meter-long lightning spear materialized, thrusting straight at Gaara's Sand Shield.

Extreme penetrating power!

"Pfft!"

The lightning spear easily pierced through Gaara's absolute defense, going straight through his left shoulder.

Blood splattered.

"ah--"
