Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 618 Naruto VS Sasuke

Yua was prepared to watch a good show during the battle for a spot in the third round of the Chunin Exams.

But what he never expected was...

Things have come to this point...

Naruto stands:

Onoki looked at Yua with a teasing expression and said, "It seems that these two kids from your village don't get along very well."

Yuya looked down at Naruto and Sasuke, who were rubbing their hands together, ready to fight. He was speechless and rubbed his forehead.

Here's the thing.

The battle mode for securing a spot is actually very simple.

Simply put, the top five players will accept challenges from the sixth to twentieth place players.

The winner then takes the opponent's ranking according to the winning conditions of the ranking battle.

Naruto was ranked first by Yua in the top five, while Sasuke was ranked second.

You Ya's idea was brilliant: directly rank the two of them first and second, wouldn't that mean they would sweep the top two spots?

As a result, some foolish guy challenged Sasuke directly, and after being instantly defeated by Sasuke, he gave Sasuke a very good opportunity...

That means Sasuke has a challenge now.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with the rule itself.

Yuya never expected that the people of Kumogakure would be so brave, directly choosing to challenge Sasuke.

Although Yuya understood the other party's plan, if you're going to challenge someone, you'll definitely challenge someone who's high up, so challenging the second-place person would be a logical step.

After all, Naruto's ability to ignore the power of a Jonin's ninjutsu and instantly kill someone with one kick is quite intimidating.

So this person's plan is to challenge the second-place finisher first, and then see if there's a chance to take down the first-place finisher.

Then, as expected, Zuo easily defeated his opponent.

Those who are among the top five will have the right to challenge once after accepting one challenge.

Therefore, Sasuke decisively ignored Yua's arrangements and took the opportunity to challenge Naruto.

Yuya was speechless; his plans had been completely disrupted by Sasuke.

Forget about first and second place now; if those two were to fight, there's no question of whether the event would even maintain its integrity...

As for Onoki's teasing...

Oh right, right, Naruto and Sasuke's relationship is terrible. They're only willing to go through fire and water for each other, risking their lives for one another.

The two stood still, preparing for battle.

Both of them had actually been waiting for this battle for a long time.

After all, the two had been secretly competing with each other since they were in school.

This situation between the two has lasted for several years and will likely continue for the rest of their lives.

You Ya was actually quite satisfied with this.

Healthy competition leads to significant progress.

only……

My own plan for first or second place...

It's completely ruined...

Alright, let's see how far these two kids have progressed first.

Youya looked at the two little devils, stroking his chin and smiling.

He was actually looking forward to it quite a bit...

"……start!"

The moment Yuru announced the start, Naruto and Sasuke moved simultaneously.

Its speed was very fast, even surpassing that of most Jonin.

With just this opening scene, all four Kage in the Naruto stands, except for Yua, sat up straight.

"Bang"

Naruto and Sasuke's bodies collided violently.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Naruto stared in shock as Sasuke used his hand seals to unleash a powerful fireball directly at his face; it was too late for Naruto to dodge.

Since that's the case, let's fight it out head-on!

"Buzz"

Sasuke instantly activated the Nine-Tails' chakra.

However, because Naruto's physical condition has not yet reached its peak, Kurama and Minato Namikaze agreed that Naruto would not be allowed to train in Tailed Beast Chakra Mode until he turned 16.

Right now, it's just that the Nine-Tails' chakra is enveloping Naruto to defend against Sasuke's attacks.

"Hmph, I knew it, Raikiri!"

Sasuke smiled calmly, then used his other hand, which had been free, to rush towards Naruto.

The sound was like the chirping of a thousand birds, and several Kage in the Naruto stands could no longer sit still.

What did they talk about in that brief opening exchange?

One thirteen or fourteen-year-old child had mastered the control of the tailed beast's chakra to perfection, while another child of the same age had directly used a ninjutsu without hand seals...

hissing...

Are geniuses so worthless these days?

Yuya remained calm, considering Naruto and Sasuke's battle to be nothing more than a piece of cake.

Naruto retreated rapidly, his red Nine-Tails chakra blocking Sasuke's Chidori. Just then, Sasuke's lips curled into a smile, and he changed his claws into fingers, transforming Chidori into a continuously extending beam of light...

"Hmm!"

Naruto's body was pierced directly by Sasuke's modified Chidori Stream.

Sasuke's face immediately lit up with excitement.

"Bang"

Then Naruto turned into smoke.

"Shadow clones?! When?!"

Sasuke was convinced he couldn't be wrong, so it was very simple...

This guy...

Was it a shadow clone from the very beginning?!

"brush"

A figure appeared swiftly beside Sasuke, then suddenly raised a hand and grabbed towards Sasuke's throat...

"succeed……"

"How could I possibly let you succeed!"

Sasuke's Sharingan eyes spun rapidly, and his body suddenly burst into flames.

Naruto froze for a moment, then immediately stepped back, looking at Sasuke with a terrified expression: "You're insane! You actually put explosive tags inside your clothes?!"

Sasuke chuckled: "These aren't explosive tags, they're modified incendiary tags."

"Aren't they all the same? Is it really necessary to go this far? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke narrowed his eyes: "Do you really think you can defeat me without fighting with all your might?"

Naruto clenched his fist: "Hehehe, you've already lost to me so many times, one more time won't make a difference."

"Click"

Sasuke glared at Naruto through gritted teeth: "Laugh all you want! After I've seen what happened today, how can you still laugh?!"

As Sasuke spoke, he quickly began forming hand seals, then took a step back and suddenly exhaled a mouthful of Phoenix Flame.

Flames shot at Naruto like machine gun bullets.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

The speed was too fast, and Naruto was not prepared to dodge.

After all, the power of the Phoenix Fire ninjutsu is not great; it is just that there are many of them and the range is wide.

But Naruto never expected that this thing would hurt so much when it hit him.

As Naruto dodged to the side, he suddenly noticed something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Hey, you only just noticed? It's too late! Ha! The Ravages of Time!"

Sasuke clapped his hands suddenly, and the small flames that his Phoenix Flower Fire had been igniting on the ground suddenly became extremely fierce.

And they converged directly in Naruto's direction.

A glint flashed in Naruto's eyes.

Is there no way to escape it...?

Then...
