Konoha: Start by signing in with Hashirama's cells

Sandai said: "What does this mean?"

"Who knows? They have their own ideas and I won't interfere too much." Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, said softly.

auditorium.

"Aren't those three people very powerful? Why is this happening?" Ino wondered.

"I don't know, but in this case, according to the sequence, Naruto will have to face Sasuke." Sakura said.

"Speaking of Sasuke, have you been feeling better lately? If you want to date Sasuke, I can help you."

"Well, it's not completely healed yet, wait a little longer." Ino's face froze and she laughed dryly.

"Then how long do we have to wait? There's no point in dragging it on like this," said Sakura.

"Perhaps, the shock you received from Naruto requires you to be comforted by Sasuke in order to get better."

"Or maybe you don't like Sasuke anymore?"

"Uh..." Ino thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Then, after you express your feelings to Naruto, help me make an appointment with Sasuke."

If Sakura could get along with Naruto, she would be able to completely put that thought behind her.

If Sakura fails, she won't have to hide it anymore. She can just show her feelings and try to pursue him.

Everything depends on the outcome of Sakura's confession.

At the same time, in the field, Naruto and Sasuke were already standing there.

"Will you use the one in the Forest of Death?" Sasuke asked.

"No." Naruto shook his head.

The most cost-effective way to use the Nine-Tails' chakra is to transfer it to the shadow clone for training. If it is not necessary, he will try not to use it.

Then they still have the strength to fight, Sasuke felt relieved.

"The battle begins." said Genma Shiranui.

Sasuke rushed towards Naruto like lightning.

Naruto retreated like lightning while forming hand seals. After two seconds, he suddenly stopped and rushed forward to confront Sasuke head-on.

In a fist and kick fight, counter each move.

The Sharingan blinked, clearly predicting Naruto's every move, and Sasuke smiled to himself.

When it comes to ninjutsu, he is no match for that beast Naruto.

If he used the red chakra coat in the Forest of Death to compete in physical skills, he would be unable to defeat Naruto.

Right now, in a close-range physical combat, he has the Sharingan and has mastered the acceleration technique of using Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate cells, so isn't he crushing Naruto?

"Naruto, you don't know what Uchiha means, and you don't know how powerful the Sharingan is." Sasuke said secretly.

"I have completely seen through your crude and straightforward attack. I will be the winner."

I don’t know why, but when facing Naruto, Sasuke has a strong competitive spirit and doesn’t want to lose to Naruto.

Unfortunately, from the time they met until now, he has never won a battle.

Now, with the hope of victory, how could he not be excited?

As long as Naruto doesn't use the state in the Forest of Death, he is confident that he can win.

You know, in close combat, there is no chance to form hand seals, so Naruto's exaggerated ninjutsu cannot be used.

Shadow clone, huh, even if I interrupt your seal, can you still separate it?

A minute passed and Sasuke was full of confidence.

Two minutes passed and Sasuke began to question his life.

Three minutes passed and Sasuke was at a loss.

As mentioned earlier, the technique of using Lightning Chakra to stimulate cells has side effects that cannot be ignored.

paralysis.

The correct way to use it is to burst out temporarily, stop immediately, slow down, and then burst out again.

Quick fight.

This technique cannot be delayed, if it is delayed, problems will arise.

"Thank you." Naruto said.

“…”Sasuke.

Thinking that he was just one step, just one step away from defeating Naruto and winning, he continued to burst out without any reservation.

God knows what happened, I didn't even touch Naruto at all.

As a result, he himself fell to the ground due to the paralyzing side effects of the Lightning Chakra, as if he had been given anesthesia.

"I still have one trick that I haven't used yet." Sasuke said with difficulty, enduring the discomfort caused by the paralysis.

"Kakashi has warned us that this is a move that cannot be used against a companion. Don't worry, I will control the angle and will not harm your life."

"If you feel you can't win, you can admit defeat and I will stop you in time."

“…”Naruto.

How should I put it? When the passive instinct is triggered, the speed cannot reach a level that can crush him, so it is impossible to hit him.

Even if he was hit, it would be difficult to hurt him.

Because passive instinct can mobilize all the abilities that one has mastered to defend oneself, including the Nine-Tails Chakra.

Being alert to Naruto's every move, Sasuke retreated quickly when the paralysis became less severe, creating some distance for the sprint.

With his hands still trembling slightly, he formed the seal steadily.

Squeak!

The shrill cry echoed throughout the venue.

"Chidori!"

His left hand was filled with a large amount of lightning chakra, and slight arcs of electricity spread out, easily creating cracks on the ground.

Sasuke stared at Naruto.

Don’t you want to admit defeat?

Or should we use the state in the Death Forest?

Sprint!

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Sasuke dragged the lightning and ran towards Naruto at a rapid speed.

Naruto remained motionless as his body reacted on its own, he first tried to back away but found it was useless.

Sasuke has the powerful dynamic vision of the Sharingan, which helps to correct the trajectory. This is a move that is difficult to avoid in the eyes of ordinary people.

So how does passive instinct work?

The Earth Style Chakra was suppressed by the Lightning Style Chakra. Does that mean I have to use the Nine-Tails Chakra?

Just as Naruto was thinking this, his body moved.

He stretched out his right hand, grabbed Sasuke's left wrist, and moved it to the right, forcibly changing the direction of Sasuke's attack.

All this happened in a flash, it was extremely short.

"No way! Such a powerful and fast technique was broken so easily?" Ino covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes shining with surprise.

So handsome!

Damn, how can you be so handsome!

"Incredible!" Sakura was also shocked.

How did Naruto see it clearly? And how did he react?

"This reaction ability and speed remind me of the late Fourth Hokage. They are very similar." Orochimaru said.

"Really? Indeed, the younger generation is always better than their predecessors." The third generation said with a smile.

“…”Sasuke.

"Are you still going to fight?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"The winner is Uzumaki Naruto." announced Genma Shiranui.

Chapter 74 The Beginning of Konoha's Collapse

After Naruto and Sasuke, the next to fight were Shikamaru and Shino.

I won’t go into the details, just say the result was good.

The winner is Shikamaru.

The difference in strength is not that big, and the effect that IQ can have is very obvious.

This is not to say that Shino's IQ is not high, but that Shikamaru's IQ is too high.

In the subsequent finals, Shikamaru, with very little chakra left, was too lazy to waste his energy on useless tasks and voluntarily gave up.

In this way, Naruto directly won the championship and became the first place.

"What went wrong? Why isn't it moving?"

Naruto secretly observed the platform, the audience seats, including the three Sunagakure siblings not far away.

He just saved Sasuke and prevented Orochimaru from successfully planting the Heaven's Curse Seal. Did that change Orochimaru's entire plan?

After leaving the waiting area and standing next to Genma Shiranui, Naruto was under the gaze of all the spectators. There was no movement for a long time, and he was puzzled.

Suddenly, an Anbu jumped down from the platform.

Suspecting that it was Kabuto Yakushi, Naruto secretly became alert.

"Uzumaki Naruto, the Hokage wants to see you." said the Anbu.
