Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 610 Shikamaru VS Temari [Part 1]

Naruto withdrew his leg, looked at the Hoshigakure ninja lying on the ground foaming at the mouth after being kicked, scratched his head, and then looked in one direction: "Now, can I declare my victory?"

Space distorted for a moment, and Obito emerged speechlessly from the Kamui dimension, looking at Naruto with curiosity and asking, "How did you know I was here?"

Naruto scratched his head: "Intuition."

Obito was even more speechless...

intuition?

Your intuition is so damn accurate?

Taking a deep breath, Obito glanced at the Hoshigakure ninja who was still foaming at the mouth and raised his hand: "The Hoshigakure ninja is incapacitated. Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto wins."

You Ya nodded, stood up, and said, "No objections, well done."

As he spoke, You Ya led the applause.

Applause immediately resounded throughout the arena.

Country of Whirlpools:

"That's it! Naruto! Well done!"

Kushina raised her hand and stood up excitedly.

Minato Namikaze felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife's genuine personality.

Then, Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto in the picture and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Naruto now is probably much stronger than he was at the same age...

However... being surpassed by one's own son doesn't seem like such a shameful thing?

……

Konoha Village Arena:

The five Kage silently watched Naruto below, who was grinning foolishly and waving to the Konoha spectators in the surrounding stands. It was hard to imagine that this guy had just ignored the power of a Jonin's ninjutsu and then instantly killed a ninja.

Such a fool...

Do they really have that much strength?

Now, they seem to have a clear understanding of Youya's self-confidence.

This little guy's strength...

It's probably the strongest of all the ninjas in this third round...

Wait a minute!

Just now, Naruto mentioned someone named Sasuke...

Could it be...?

There are two such strong little guys?!

Thinking this, the four shadows simultaneously looked at Yuya with strange expressions.

One Naruto is one thing, but you have a second one?!

This... God is being too kind to Konoha!

Youya had no idea what these guys were thinking; all he knew was that the third wave of battles was about to begin.

As is customary, Yuru came up to announce the draw of the two teams to compete.

[Konoha Village's Nara Shikamaru VS Sunagakure Village's Sandstorm Temari]

Upon seeing this battle information, Yuya took a deep breath: "Hiss..."

The four shadows beside them all looked over at the same time.

You Ya gave an awkward laugh: "Uh haha, no, nothing, nothing, hahaha..."

It seemed awkward on the surface, but in reality, Yuya had gained a clearer understanding of the world's corrective power.

It's amazing that you can match two people together like this; I must say, you've got some serious talent for the will of the world.

Well, aside from being a bit fierce, having a bad temper, being a bit of a feminist, and having a high status at home, Temari is pretty much perfect.

Anyway, it's Shikamaru who's going to suffer, so why should I worry about it?!

As Youya thought this, she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Turning his head to look at Tsunade sitting next to him, he felt much better.

At least Tsunade gives herself face in front of outsiders.

No, that's not right. I have the highest status at home, so I don't need her to give me face!

"What's wrong?" Tsunade asked Yua, puzzled.

"Uh, it's nothing. Let's watch the game. This game should be very interesting."

Tsunade was somewhat puzzled, but didn't say anything.

Because she was also somewhat interested in the upcoming match.

It's purely because of Nara Shikamaru.

Tsunade was genuinely curious about the strength of Nara Shikamaru, the only heir of the Nara clan in this generation, who was clearly destined to succeed as the next head of the Nara clan.

Hmm, by the way, let's compare him to his dad when they were the same age.

As Tsunade thought this through, she became increasingly interested in the situation on the field.

Nara Shikamaru and Temari slowly walked in from the sidelines.

Unlike Shikamaru, who thinks the competition is too troublesome and just wants to go home and give up, Shikamaru is different.

Temari looked very serious.

It's clear that Temari takes this match very seriously.

This is understandable, as this is a competition broadcast live throughout the entire ninja world. If they underperform in this competition, it might damage the reputation of Sunagakure.

This is something Temari could never accept.

"Haa..." Nara Shikamaru yawned, looking at Temari's solemn face. After thinking for a moment, Shikamaru asked, "How about I just surrender? This battle is completely pointless..."

Temari was startled for a moment, then suddenly gripped the iron fan behind her: "Wind Release: Gale Fan!"

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then took off running.

Where it originally stood, blades of wind swept across, plowing tracks into the ground.

"Whoa...that was dangerous..."

In the empty arena, Shikamaru watched in astonishment as his opponent unleashed the immense power of his Wind Release technique.

"Didn't I already say I wanted to surrender...?" Shikamaru said helplessly, looking at Temari.

Temari stared coldly at Shikamaru: "Don't try to deceive me with words!"

Shikamaru is practically spitting blood! What did I lie to you about?! I really do want to surrender!

Wouldn't it be better for me to use this time to get a good night's sleep?!

How comfortable!

Why do I have to fight you here?

However, no matter what Shikamaru thought, Temari's hands did not stop moving at all.

"Wind Release: Wind Breaker..."

Temari, who was about to wave her folding fan, suddenly narrowed her eyes and immediately retreated. As she retreated, Shikamaru's elongated shadow crossed her original position and pounced on Temari.

"Damn it! That despicable scoundrel! He actually took advantage of my inattention..."

Temari knew that if her shadow connected with the other person's, her body would be controlled.

That would put me in danger...

No! We have to find a way!

Temari's eyes narrowed as she thought of this, and she slammed the iron fan into the ground, then opened the fan to block Shikamaru's view.

Shikamaru's shadow swiftly passed over the iron fan and stretched backward...

"Click"

Shikamaru felt a voice appear in his mind.

His shadow imitation technique was successful.

Shikamaru frowned, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Slowly standing up, Shikamaru walked towards Temari's iron fan.

Although he was heading in this direction, Shikamaru remained cautious throughout.

He needs to prevent any potential attacks from the other side.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from Iron Fan's side and pounced on Shikamaru.

"Mongoose?!"

Shikamaru was taken aback. He no longer cared about controlling his shadow to mimic the movement and turned to run away.

The giant meerkat, wielding a scythe, swung it fiercely at Shikamaru...
