I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"It's okay, I can beat him even when I'm asleep."

Akabane said calmly. He was just feeling sleepy, not really mentally exhausted.

"Okay, I'll head out now..."

After hearing this, Tsunade followed the others and walked out the door.

The classroom suddenly emptied out, and Akabane decided to lie down and take a nap. As for the competition... there was no point in watching it anyway, since someone would come and call him when it was his turn.

On the playground, the battle raged fiercely.

In terms of the variety of ninjutsu, Orochimaru is indeed inferior to Kawaki. The Uchiha clan's formidable foundation is no joke. However, in terms of understanding ninjutsu and taijutsu, Kawaki is far behind.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Orochimaru used kunai and ropes to cast a binding spell, immobilizing Kawaki.

Orochimaru wins.

Upon hearing the news of the victory, Orochimaru remained calm, not even glancing at Kawaki, and walked straight down from the playground.

Ignored...

Kawaki clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, but it was no use; a loss was a loss.

Although the Ninja Academy's comprehensive test was just a performance, he was bound by a stun jutsu without even touching the opponent. He probably won't dare mention the Uchiha clan in front of Orochimaru anymore.

"Next group: Tsunade Senju and Sakumo Hatake."

Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake each have their strengths, their styles are mutually restraining, and their class rankings are quite close.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Young Tsunade wasn't as terrifying as she was during the time of the Three Legendary Sannin, but her power was already beginning to show. The booming sound of her punches was enough to travel along the earth to Akabane's ears.

"Only a masochist would like a woman this terrifying, right?"

Akabane is about to have a breakdown. How can he sleep with all this noise?

He actually liked Tsunade quite a bit when reading the manga, but when Tsunade actually became his partner, he didn't feel that way anymore.

The proverb "Lord Ye loved dragons but was terrified of them" perfectly illustrates this point.

"Forget it, let's go out and take a look. I've never seen Tsunade fight the future White Fang in the manga."

Akabane had mixed feelings.

Since we can't resist, we can only enjoy it.

Chapter 9 Win? Sorry, you've already lost.

"Don't run away, let's settle this once and for all."

On the playground, Tsunade stood casually in the center, surrounded by pits of all sizes.

These craters were all created by smashing.

"Huh...huh..."

On the other side, Sakumo was panting heavily, holding a short sword.

The two exchanged blows, but Tsunade's monstrous strength was terrifying. With their current physiques, a single punch would basically end the game.

While the Hatake family's swordsmanship includes many powerful techniques, most are killing techniques that can only be used in life-or-death battles, thus inadvertently suffering from the limitations imposed by the rules.

Chakra and stamina were dwindling, but Tsunade didn't seem too tired.

He knew he couldn't run anymore.

"Come on, let's settle this once and for all."

The Hatake clan doesn't have much chakra; this was his final blow.

In a battle between masters, a single move can determine the winner. Until the outcome is clear, no one knows who will win or lose. Akabane focused intently on the two players in the arena.

The next second, the two launched a swift attack, like tigers unleashed from their cages.

One punch flew like the wind, the other flashed with the light of a knife.

In the instant of their exchange, both dodged various deadly attacks by shifting their positions, but as Tsunade dodged, she stomped her foot hard.

"not good!"

Sakumo instantly realized something was wrong. He hadn't expected Tsunade to be able to use superhuman strength in her feet, and he was caught off guard.

Although he quickly regained his balance, by the time he reacted, Tsunade's second punch was already in front of him.

"Tsunade wins!"

Sarutobi Nenichi remained silent for a moment before uttering Tsunade's name.

"The Thousand Hands of the Forest, truly formidable."

To be honest, he felt that even if he were in Sakumo's shoes, he wouldn't have expected that kick either.

The two bowed to each other and then returned to the sidelines.

"Next……"

Despite the battle, Tsunade didn't seem tired. The first thing she saw after coming down from the training ground was Akabane sitting on the edge of the field.

A hint of joy appeared on her face. She quickened her pace slightly before slowing it down again, and leisurely walked up to him: "I knew you would come out to watch the game. I just asked you to come out with me, but you wouldn't..."

"No, I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss at first."

Akabane yawned, lay down, and began to fall asleep.

"you!"

Tsunade frowned slightly in anger, then snorted and sat down on the side.

At first, she thought Akabane was just being stubborn, but after waiting a while, she realized that Akabane had really fallen asleep...

After Tsunade and Sakumo, the excitement of the remaining battles decreased significantly, and there were no more such confrontational scenes.

Until the seventh group finished, before Sarutobi could even call out a name, Uchiha Ryo stood up and walked towards the middle of the playground.

"Next up, Uchiha Ryo, Kurama Akabane."

He glanced at Akabane with arrogance, but... Akabane was asleep.

"Kurama Akabane?!"

Sarutobi Nenichi called out a second time in surprise.

He clearly saw Akabane walk out of the classroom and sit next to Tsunade, so why was no one coming up when he called out?

"Akaba...Akaba!"

Tsunade called out to him several times but couldn't wake him, so she had to push him.

"Who!"

Suddenly woken up, Akabane was in a very bad mood.

"Your turn, hurry up."

Tsunade said something in a low voice. He paused for a moment, then looked towards the middle of the playground.

Uchiha Ryo was already in position, staring intently at him.

"Come on up, finish quickly so you can go to sleep."

Uchiha Ryo said with a hint of sarcasm.

Akabane looked sleepy and nodded as he walked, saying, "Since I started school, this is the sentence you said that I like the most."

"Ah."

Uchiha Ryo sneered and walked to the other side of the playground.

Akabane walked to his spot, holding a drawing board, pen, and paper, waiting for Sarutobi to give the order.

"3, 2, 1... Ready, go!"

At his command, Uchiha Ryo vanished from his spot in an instant.

Rank D, Instantaneous Movement Technique!

however……

Akabane threw a kunai and then remained where he was, not moving.

Uchiha Ryo sneered and kicked the flying kunai. He thought he could kick out Akabane's true form, but who knew... it really was just a kunai.

Turning his head, he saw Akabane remaining in the same spot, a mocking smile on his lips.

It's an entity!

As Uchiha Ryo watched Akabane begin to draw, he formed hand seals, turned around, and unleashed a ninjutsu: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"What? He can use the Great Fireball Technique at his age!"

"not good……"

"Akaba!"

Those who were close to Akabane immediately tensed up and all stood up nervously.

"stop!"

Sarutobi Nenichi quickly used the Body Flicker Technique to stop him, but the Body Flicker Technique of ordinary ninjas is not instantaneous movement, but only high-speed movement achieved by stimulating chakra.

Even though he was a Chunin, he couldn't reach Akabane's side instantly; the massive fireball engulfed Akabane's figure in a flash.

"How could he use that ninjutsu!"

"You're not going to die, are you?"

"We've caused trouble, this is the Kurama clan..."

The rest of the Uchiha clan members all had different expressions.

Although the Great Fireball Technique is only a C-rank ninjutsu, its power is in no way inferior to that of a B-rank ninjutsu.

Using such ninjutsu on a student who isn't even a genin is tantamount to murder.

The students couldn't see what was happening underneath the fireball, and most of them thought that Akabane really didn't have time to dodge and was engulfed by the fireball.

Even the usually composed Orochimaru stared blankly at the playground, his face filled with disbelief.

There was one exception—Tsunade.

"Tsunade, you... Akabane got hit head-on by the Great Fireball, you're dead!"

Jiraiya was anxious, confused, and furious.

Orochimaru was equally astonished, but he quickly realized that Akabane must have dodged it in some way. He immediately closed his eyes to sense it, but unfortunately it was not an illusion.

Was it just a clone that was hit by the Fireball?

No, if it's a clone...

"It's a shadow clone."

Tsunade said confidently, "Moreover, Uchiha Rin has already been affected by the jutsu... You can see for yourselves if you don't believe me."

Everyone turned to look, and Sarutobi Nenichi, who had rushed to the scene, found that there was only a patch of ashes in the middle of the playground, and no sign of Akabane. At the same time, Uchiha Ryo, after releasing the Great Fireball Technique, remained motionless in place, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"That's it, I'm going back to sleep."

The next second, Akabane, whose appearance had changed, walked out from the crowd at the edge of the playground, holding a drawing in his hand.

Illusion spell successfully cast!

"A clone? When..."

Jiraiya was shocked and worried for a long time, only to find that the fireball hit a shadow clone.

"Kiba-kun must have used Shadow Clone Jutsu and Substitution Jutsu the instant the opponent released the Great Fireball Jutsu, instantly entering the crowd to complete the illusion and evasion."

Orochimaru's voice was calm, but his expression showed a hint of shock.

It's not difficult to do this, but the challenge is to do it in full view of everyone without anyone noticing it immediately.

To achieve this, timing and chakra control are both essential.
