Inuzuka Hana gave the order without hesitation.
Haimaru reverted to his ninja dog form and began to fight with the ninja dog.
The art of four legs!
Inuzuka Hana attached her chakra to her limbs and pounced on Nara Shikamaru like a tiger descending a mountain.
"I concede."
Nara Shikamaru raised his hand in time and said, "My chakra is exhausted, and I am unable to fight any longer."
"...?"
Hana Inuzuka quickly stopped her swinging grab.
what's the situation?
In her view, she was clearly at a disadvantage.
"The winner is Inuzuka Hana."
Kitazawa shook his head and said.
If Nara Shikamaru wants to win, he has a chance with his Shadow Imitation Technique and Shadow Tentacles.
However, he lacked the will to win and conceded defeat after only a brief exchange.
"..."
Nara Shikaku, sitting in the audience, suddenly remembered Yamanaka Ino's words.
We definitely need to find Kitazawa Jiichi to treat Nara Shikamaru.
"The sixth match of the third round is between Yamanaka Ino and Tenten."
Kitazawa announced this after Nara Shikamaru and Inuzuka Hana left the field.
"Shikamaru, did you go easy on my sister?"
Kiba Inuzuka asked curiously.
"No."
Nara Shikamaru spread his hands and said, "You know, secret techniques consume a lot of chakra."
"Your sister brought three ninja dogs. It's practically impossible for Shikamaru to control four targets at once."
Yamanaka Ino said.
Both the Nara and Yamanaka clans primarily relied on control, and they shared many similarities.
If it were her, she would have lost even faster.
Because her mind-spinning technique can only control a maximum of two targets.
"Ino is right."
Nara Shikamaru agreed.
"It's your turn, Ino."
Sakura Haruno reminded her.
"Her ninja tools are troublesome."
Nara Shikamaru suggested, "If you can seize the opportunity, you can control her. If you can't, don't force it. You can admit defeat."
If the Nara clan's secret techniques can be used by a single person, then the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques are not suitable for single-person use.
Performing ninjutsu takes time, and it's difficult to hit the target. Even if it does hit, you can't move.
"Ah."
Yamanaka Ino nodded, smiling broadly, and said, "I'll do my best. If I lose, I'll just go to Kitazawa-sensei."
Upon hearing the name Kitazawa, Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously glanced at him.
Even now that he has awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, he still can't beat Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama. Should he ask Kitazawa for help?
The battle begins.
Having learned from her defeat in the battle against Nara Shikamaru, Tenten used ninja tools from the very beginning and resolutely refused to let Yamanaka Ino get close.
Yamanaka Ino was chased around by ninja tools and had no time to use her secret technique. In the end, she chose to admit defeat.
"The third round of the competition has ended. Next up is the challenge match."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and then said, "The students who have entered the third round are all the ones who will be challenged."
Because they had received the flyers in advance, the audience already knew the rules of the practical exam and were not surprised by it.
"I hope someone will challenge me."
Naruto Uzumaki said with an expectant look on his face.
Today's battle truly gave him a sense of exhilaration.
Who will challenge you?
Kiba Inuzuka remarked, "Only a blind person would challenge you."
"That's hard to say."
Nara Shikamaru yawned and said, "Arrogant people can be found everywhere."
"really."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said, "People who think they have the ability will definitely be very unwilling to be assigned to the general tournament."
"Then Sasuke is more likely to be challenged, right?"
Ino Yamanaka explained her reasoning: "Because Sasuke is more famous."
"Don't I have any fame?"
Naruto's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "I just defeated Sasuke!"
"...?"
Sasuke Uchiha's lips twitched.
Why do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?
“The students in the regular competition didn’t see our competition.”
Yamanaka Ino paused for a moment, then said, "But after today, your fame will definitely skyrocket, and you might even surpass Sasuke's."
Uchiha Sasuke's expression froze upon hearing this.
hateful!
Is he even less famous than Naruto Uzumaki?
No way!
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.
The Uchiha clan has never been inferior to anyone in their lives; they want to take back everything that belongs to them!
For some reason, even though Yakumo Kurama defeated him, he was more concerned about losing to Naruto Uzumaki.
Time passed slowly.
Not long after, Hisao Sarutobi led five students into the arena.
These five students all appeared to be older than Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
That is indeed the case.
They were mostly fifth and sixth graders.
"headmaster."
After greeting Sarutobi Hisao, Kitazawa looked at the five students behind him and said, "You will go up in order."
After he finished speaking, he handed over the roster.
The roster listed the names of the twelve students who advanced to the third round, along with their respective classes.
"I challenge Uchiha Sasuke!"
A boy dressed in white walked onto the stage and spoke.
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists instinctively.
Do you think I'm easy to bully after losing two games in a row?
Uchiha Sasuke walked up to him with a cold face.
Genjutsu·Shiranui!
He awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan.
The next second, the boy was surrounded by fire in the illusion and screamed in agony.
"The winner is Uchiha Sasuke."
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said.
The two-tomoe Sharingan is practically a game-changer against someone who isn't even a genin.
However, it's still unusual for the battle to end so quickly.
This shows that Sasuke Uchiha harbored a lot of resentment.
The remaining four students looked at each other, their faces showing shock and confusion.
Are first-graders these days so incredibly gifted? They completely outperform sixth-graders!
Even if it's the Uchiha clan, they shouldn't be this outrageous.
After hesitating for two seconds, the second student stepped onto the stage.
“I…I challenge Kurama Yakumo.”
The students were chosen based on their last names.
The Uchiha, Hyuga, Nara, Aburame, and Yamanaka clans are all very famous ninja clans.
But he had never heard of saddle horses.
Kurama Yakumo walked up to him, and then that was the end of it.
He was immediately pulled into the illusion.
To others, he appeared to be standing still, and after a few seconds, he fell backward.
From beginning to end, it seemed as if Kurama Yakumo didn't move a single finger.
"???"
The students who came to take on the challenge were full of questions.
Is this still a ninja academy? Where did they put me?
They didn't even know how they lost, let alone defeat first-year students.
"It seems that Kitazawa made the right decision to divide the competition into general and elite rounds."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said.
The gap between them is so large that sometimes not knowing it is a blessing.
As things stand now, all that's left for them is deep despair.
"There's nothing left to see, I..."
Tsunade was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"Since we're already here, let's see it through to the end. We should at least finish what we started."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.
What are you planning to do now?
Tsunade asked with a puzzled look.
