The four-way battles almost always ended in instant kills.
In less than ten minutes, the preliminary rounds had reached the fifth round.
This round of battles finally became lengthy, so much so that many people couldn't help but yawn.
Because the battle list for this round was actually... Ino Yamanaka VS Sakura Haruno.
Just like Naruto Uzumaki mastering Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, Sakura Haruno had also made considerable progress compared to the original story, but that was all.
She had learned a Genjutsu from Kakashi Hatake, the Descent into Darkness Technique with a D-rank difficulty, which could make the opponent see the scene that triggered the most fear in their hearts.
During the Survival Exercise, Sakura Haruno was instantly killed by Kakashi Hatake's Genjutsu.
If the opponent was Minako, perhaps Sakura Haruno could have won.
Unfortunately, her opponent was Ino Yamanaka, who was skilled in Yin Release Secret Techniques.
The Descent into Darkness Technique was easily deciphered by Ino Yamanaka.
Similarly, although Ino Yamanaka was the heir to a Secret Technique Ninja Clan and had already mastered the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Body Switch Technique.
However, the Yamanaka Clan's position was support, and the Mind Body Switch Technique had no attack power.
Although she successfully ambushed Sakura Haruno, using the Mind Body Switch Technique to seize Sakura Haruno's body, she was driven out by the second personality in Sakura Haruno's heart.
One Genjutsu was countered, and one Clan Secret Technique was countered.
This pair of former best friends was like natural enemies, only able to use the basics taught in the Ninja Academy to determine the victory.
Three Body Technique, Shuriken throwing, Kunai close combat, Taijutsu Sparring... both women had excellent foundations, absolute top students.
But in the eyes of the Jonin, it was like those children playing ninja games, very boring.
Even Izayoi and others felt that these two were too weak.
Only Minako resonated, realizing that these top students were just like her.
In the end, the two women, just like in the original story, collapsed to the ground exhausted, both missing out on the official competition.
By the time they woke up, the battle had reached the ninth round.
The sixth round of battles was Tenten VS Temari.
This was a crushing battle, with Tenten, whose attributes were countered by Temari, having no resistance at all in the face of the opponent's Wind Release.
The seventh round of battles was Shikamaru Nara VS Sawano Genichi.
The latter was one of Kiba Inuzuka's teammates, and like Sakura Haruno, came from a ninja family, his Father was an ordinary Chunin with a surname.
Sawano Genichi's strength was also good, mastering a C-rank Water Release: Raging Waves.
Although this move was a basic Ninjutsu of Water Release, its usage was flexible and varied, and if the Chakra was large enough, the effect was no less than a B-rank Water Release: Water Formation Wall.
Unfortunately, his combat experience was too little, and his intelligence was far inferior to Shikamaru Nara.
When he used Water Release, spitting out a stream of water, and Shikamaru Nara disappeared from his sight, the result had already appeared.
Shikamaru Nara first took out a Kunai and held it in his mouth, then used the Shadow Imitation Technique to immobilize Sawano Genichi, took down the Kunai he was holding in his mouth, and Sawano Genichi took the initiative to admit defeat.
Sawano Genichi had just been defeated, and in the eighth round of the duel, it was Minako VS Neji Hyuga.
Seeing that her opponent was from the currently existing prestigious clan in Konoha, and also the Top Student from the previous year, Minako didn't even bother to go down for a formality and directly raised her hand to admit defeat.
The ninth round of the duel was… Naruto Uzumaki VS Kiba Inuzuka!
"Great, it's that idiot Kiba, I'm definitely going to win!"
Seeing the name of his opponent, Naruto Uzumaki immediately stepped on the railing and shouted excitedly.
Kiba Inuzuka, who also had a happy face, immediately shouted with black lines all over his forehead, "Idiot Naruto, that's what I should be saying!"
Arriving in the hall, Kiba Inuzuka looked at Naruto Uzumaki with a face full of arrogance and said, "Dead last, if you say something nice to me now, I'll let you lose with a little dignity. Or you can just admit defeat!"
In Kiba Inuzuka's eyes, Naruto Uzumaki was no different from how he was a few months ago.
Facing the joint efforts of himself and Akamaru, he would definitely be defeated.
However, Naruto Uzumaki also showed an arrogant smile and said, "Watch how I defeat you in one move!"
"Hahaha… defeat me in one move? Dead last, are you still dreaming!" Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but burst into laughter, then said to Akamaru, "Akamaru, let's teach this dead last a lesson."
"Woof!" Akamaru responded with a bark.
"Ninth round, begin!"
As soon as Hayate Gekko's voice fell, Naruto Uzumaki immediately formed a Ram hand seal and shouted, "Shadow Clone Technique!"
A few days had passed, and Naruto Uzumaki, who had been hit with the Five Elements Seal, no longer had such chaotic Chakra as before.
Although he still couldn't instantly create hundreds of Shadow Clones, creating double-digit Shadow Clones was still easy.
Puff puff puff…
Crisp sounds rang out, and clusters of white smoke appeared out of thin air.
When the smoke dissipated, more than twenty Naruto Uzumakis had already surrounded Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru.
"This is… the Shadow Clone Technique? How are there so many?!" Kiba Inuzuka looked shocked.
Those who were as shocked as him were the Genin on the second-floor stands, and even the Jonin.
Especially the well-informed Jonin, who immediately recognized that this was not a simple Shadow Clone Technique, but the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which was listed as a Forbidden Technique!
"Wind Release…"
Before Kiba Inuzuka could recover from his shock, Naruto Uzumaki and his Shadow Clones had already formed hand seals.
Seeing his hand seals, those Jonin's expressions changed again, and they had already seen what was going to happen next.
By the time Kiba Inuzuka reacted, Naruto Uzumaki and his Shadow Clones had already shouted the name of that technique: "Great Breakthrough!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The sound of the howling wind rang out, and the materialized airflow was like a visible but untouchable big hand, grabbing Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru's bodies and throwing them into the air.
Then, hands appeared out of thin air, throwing the man and beast around in the air, as if they had entered a tornado.
Even the examinees and Jonin on the second-floor stands were affected. The former tightly grasped the handrails or hugged the railings, unable to open their eyes at all, while many of the latter also reached out to block their eyes.
When the Jonin instructor of Team 6 saw Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru spinning rapidly in the air, about to crash heavily into the wall, he quickly used Body Flicker Technique to catch them, ending the Taijutsu Sparring.
"Round nine, the winner is Naruto Uzumaki."
Hayate Gekko, his feet firmly planted on the ground and his hands still shielding his eyes, immediately announced the result.
"Hahaha... Idiot Kiba, you've seen how awesome I am, right!" Naruto Uzumaki put his hands on his hips and laughed arrogantly.
Having successfully defeated his former teammate, who had once crushed him, in one move, Naruto Uzumaki was in a very cheerful mood.
His heart swelling again, he couldn't help but imagine himself punching Izayoi, kicking Sasuke Uchiha, and Rock Lee kneeling on the ground to admit defeat.
His face, which was raised in laughter, gradually became wretched, and saliva even dripped from the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until Hayate Gekko reminded him that he came back to his senses and returned to the second-floor stands with a swagger.
The screen flashed names again.
When the picture froze, many people perked up.
On the screen, it clearly showed—Izayoi VS Rock Lee.
