Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 320 Fated Showdown

"Everyone, I won't go into the rules. During the match, when I tell you to stop, you have to stop."

Genma Shiranui, with a senbon in his mouth, glanced at the participants gathered in the arena.

"Did you understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone answered in unison, but someone suddenly raised their hand.

"Uchiha Sasuke, is there a problem?"

Genma Shiranui looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke remained calm and asked directly, "Isn't Shirokumo Aoba coming to participate in the competition?"

The others were equally puzzled, because Baiyun Qingye did not come to gather after the speech.

Seeing that everyone was eager to know, Genma Shiranui explained.

“The gap between your strength and his is too great. This competition is meaningless to him, so he will not participate in the following competitions and will pass directly.”

Everyone was surprised, yet felt it was only natural.

Otherwise, why would they hit the wooden dummy?

real or fake.

"hateful!"

Only Sasuke clenched his fists, extremely unwilling to accept defeat.

Seeing this, Genma Shiranui couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.

As expected of the Uchiha clan, they're incredibly stubborn.

However, all he needs to do is host the competition.

"Alright, let's officially begin the competition. The order of the matches will remain the same as before."

"The first match of the day—"

"Sasuke Uchiha vs. Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Yay! Sasuke, I've been looking forward to this match for ages!"

Naruto looked incredibly eager.

"Humph!"

Sasuke simply gave a haughty snort.

Genma Shiranui didn't pay much attention. "The rest of you can wait outside first."

Everyone quickly left, leaving only three people on the field.

Naruto and Sasuke also distanced themselves from each other and formed opposing hand seals.

"start!"

After speaking, Genma Shiranui stepped back.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

At the very beginning, Naruto took the initiative, rushing out and kicking Sasuke.

Sasuke remained motionless, his hands forming hand seals.

"boom!"

Naruto kicked the wooden stake.

Sasuke's hand seals just now were the Substitution Jutsu.

The next second, Naruto felt a scorching airflow behind him.

A huge fireball was flying towards him.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Naruto had long been accustomed to this through years of sparring.

He easily dodged Sasuke's attack with a leap.

But the attack is not over yet.

Sasuke raised his hand expressionlessly.

Several more shuriken were thrown at Naruto.

Naruto skillfully dodged as always.

But after he dodged all the shuriken, Sasuke couldn't help but sneer.

The ten fingers are slightly bent.

Naruto's expression changed.

But they didn't panic.

The threads on the shuriken instantly wrapped around him.

Seeing that Naruto was temporarily unable to move, Sasuke bit the thread and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Flames spewed from his mouth, traveling along the threads towards Naruto.

Genma Shiranui prepares to intervene and provide assistance.

But suddenly, a terrifying burst of chakra erupted from Naruto's body.

The terrifying flames were forcibly dispersed by chakra.

Sasuke's lips twitched involuntarily. How come this guy's chakra has increased again!

He simply didn't have time to be surprised.

Naruto, having broken through the Fire Release technique, had already arrived in front of him.

Sasuke had no choice but to cross his arms to defend himself.

When the fist landed on his hand, his expression changed slightly.

The body moves backward to dissipate the force.

They stopped again a short distance away.

"Naruto, the warm-up is over. Now let's get serious!"

"Right on my mind."

Naruto stood still, a confident smile on his face.

"Sasuke, you're not allowed to cry if you lose!"

He reached out and untied the weights from his body, landing on the ground and creating two deep craters.

"..."

Sasuke was secretly alarmed and also activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

He drew the sword from behind him.

But Naruto's transformation wasn't over yet.

A large amount of chakra surged around his body.

A terrifying shockwave rolled in.

His golden hair stood up like a Super Saiyan.

Sasuke instinctively tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

He had seen Naruto use this taijutsu before.

The Eight Gates Formation has a total of eight gates.

During his previous battle against Orochimaru, Naruto opened up to the fifth gate at most.

During this period, Sasuke also trained with Naruto in that state as his imaginary enemy.

But Naruto only managed to open the fourth gate before stopping.

If it were the fifth gate, Naruto wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

"Come on, Sasuke!"

Naruto's face flushed red as he charged at Sasuke once more.

It stirred up a large amount of soil.

The speed was so fast that most spectators outside the stadium could not catch it with the naked eye.

But Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan could see it clearly.

Sasuke's longsword, imbued with lightning chakra, charged towards Naruto.

Many spectators outside the venue were already stunned.

Is this really a battle between genin?

"Naruto and Sasuke are really amazing."

"Qingye, who do you think will win?"

After finishing her speech, Shirokumo Aoba had already slipped away to the audience.

He was chatting with Tian Tian and a few others at the moment.

The one who spoke up just now was Ino.

"Well, I'm not really sure what to say."

Baiyun Qingye watched the battle unfold.

It's really hard to say who won or lost. Although Naruto was able to open the Eight Gates to the fifth gate, it seems he can already use some of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

But Sasuke also has a three-tomoe Sharingan, and he also learned Lightning Release from Kakashi, as well as swordsmanship.

With both sides giving it their all, it's difficult to predict the outcome.

"Can't Aoba be sure either?"

Watching the two players compete on the field every day, the topic suddenly changed.

"So, who do you think would win between me and Temari?"

"This……"

When this question arose, many people looked to Baiyun Qingye.

Temari was originally marveling at how strong the ninjas of Konoha were.

They also looked over at him.

His eyes held a look of inquiry.

They seem quite interested in this issue as well.

"What's wrong? Is this question troubling you?"

Tian Tian glanced at Bai Yun Qing Ye sideways and said, "It's okay, just tell the truth, I won't be angry."

Haha, do you think I believe that?

Bai Yunqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said somewhat tactfully.

"Tenten, your taijutsu and ninja tool attacks are very powerful, and Temari's wind release is not bad either. I don't know who is more powerful."

"Humph!"

Tian Tian let out a soft hum, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Yun Qing Ye's neutrality.

Temari didn't seem to think anything of it, and just chuckled softly.

She is the princess of Sunagakure, how could she possibly get angry over something like this?

"So, who do you think will win the match between me and Sakura?"

Ino had a sly look on her face, wanting to see if Aoba would give the same answer.

Sakura was slightly taken aback, not expecting that she would be mentioned.

However, when she looked at Ino, her eyes held an unprecedented confidence.

This clearly surprised Ino.

Sakura rarely showed such confidence before.

Shirakumo Aoba patted Ino on the shoulder, her expression turning serious.

"Ino, the third round of the Chunin Exams isn't all about winning or losing. Even if you lose, you still have a chance to become a Chunin."
