Kitazawa nodded and said.
Time passed slowly, and the second round came to an end.
"I am now announcing the list of students who have advanced to the third round."
Iruka Umino said, "Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Shino Aburame, Yakumo Kurama, Hinata Hyuga, and Shikamaru Nara."
Kitazawa discovered that the list of candidates for the third round of the last final exams was almost identical.
Only Yamanaka Ino was replaced by Kurama Yakumo.
Sakura Haruno and Kiba Inuzuka were not selected for the third round due to their poor performance.
"It seems the third round will be the most exciting."
Tsunade couldn't help but say something after hearing the familiar name.
It can be said that each of these six individuals has a surname that is quite famous in Konoha Village.
"Kitazawa, there are just too many geniuses in your class."
"Silently said with emotion."
Since the establishment of the Ninja Academy, the number of geniuses in Class 1-A has always ranked among the top three.
"This shows that our Konoha Village is thriving."
Kitazawa smiled and said.
Why? Because Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are the male protagonists in the original work.
Since they are in the same generation as the main characters, there are naturally many supporting characters with names and surnames.
Of course, a more reasonable explanation is that there is a baby boom after each Shinobi World War.
Naruto Uzumaki and his friends were born after the Third Shinobi World War.
"Those who have advanced to the third round, please come up and draw lots."
After the break, Umino Iruka brought out another lottery box.
"I'll come first!"
Naruto Uzumaki excitedly said, "I hope I can draw Sasuke!"
Although Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu seemed more powerful than Sasuke Uchiha's, in his heart, his lifelong rival remained unchanged.
Moreover, they had made a pact at the beginning of the semester to have a youthful showdown in the first monthly exam.
Uchiha Sasuke, on the other hand, remained quite calm.
The only person he finds troublesome right now is Kurama Yakumo.
However, with his Sharingan and superior taijutsu and fire-style techniques, he still has a high chance of winning.
"I am number two!"
Naruto Uzumaki said happily immediately after finishing his draw.
"Number One".
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him and said, "You are not my opponent."
"what?"
Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"I...I am number one."
Hinata Hyuga looked at the numbers in her hand and felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
I never imagined that she would actually become Sasuke Uchiha's rival.
Yamanaka Ino, Aburame Shino, and the others subconsciously looked at her.
Their first reaction was that Hinata Hyuga was unlucky.
The reason is that Uchiha Sasuke defeated Hyuga Neji not long ago.
Although Hinata Hyuga also defeated Neji Hyuga, it seems that the difference between the two is not significant.
Hinata?
Sasuke Uchiha was certain in his heart.
He also believed he would win.
Just defeat Hinata Hyuga using the same method you used to defeat Neji Hyuga.
"Who is number two?"
Naruto asked curiously.
"it's me."
Kurama Yakumo smiled gently and said, "Naruto-kun, nice to meet you."
"You may be very good, but I will definitely win in the end!"
Naruto clenched his fist and said.
Although he disliked illusions, he had a way to break them: shadow clones.
"Then my opponent is Shikamaru."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.
"You don't need to fight anymore, I admit defeat."
Nara Shikamaru said without hesitation.
They've already played the second round once, and if they go again, the result won't change.
Besides, he has already made it into the top six, which means he has achieved his goal.
In fact, Nara Shikamaru's original plan was to concede defeat regardless of who his opponent was.
"Please come to the stage, the two students who drew number one."
Umino Iruka interrupted their conversation, speaking loudly.
Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Hinata walked into the center of the field.
The former was calm, while the latter was nervous, creating a stark contrast.
Kitazawa was greatly encouraged.
Whether the mission can be completed depends on whether Hinata Hyuga can defeat Sasuke Uchiha.
In his view, the two men's abilities were actually quite similar.
It's normal for either person to win or lose.
The key lies in the illusion technique Bubble and the Leaf Instantaneous Movement Technique.
"You can admit defeat."
Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.
He wanted to conserve his chakra to deal with Naruto Uzumaki and Yakumo Kurama.
Although the practical exam only has three rounds, Kitazawa would not refuse if he challenged him to add an extra round.
"No."
Hinata Hyuga glanced at Kitazawa and said, "I have a reason why I must win."
"I happen to have one too."
Sasuke Uchiha immediately activated his Sharingan and said, "Begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
A blast of air rolled in, and terrifyingly high temperatures appeared.
A gigantic fireball flew out.
Hinata Hyuga had anticipated this and ran without hesitation.
She followed the side route, bypassing the giant fireball, and quickly approached Uchiha Sasuke.
"His speed is about the same as Neji's."
Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha felt that the situation was mostly under control.
Without hesitation, he swung out a large handful of daggers with both hands.
Hinata Hyuga neither dodged nor evaded. After scanning the area with her Byakugan and confirming that there was no rubber band, she directly used Gentle Fist to knock the shuriken away.
good chance!
Hinata Hyuga's speed was slowed down by the shuriken.
Uchiha Sasuke immediately formed hand seals.
Illusion: Bubble!
But to his astonishment, Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and refused to look at him.
Kitazawa's special training has been effective.
Hinata Hyuga successfully deflected all the shuriken using her ability to sense the wind's location.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Upon seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha immediately abandoned the Genjutsu: Bubble and switched to Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique.
He now needs to find another opportunity to perform illusions.
Before that, he couldn't let Hinata Hyuga get close to him.
Uchiha Sasuke tilted his head back and spat out a series of small fireballs.
Hinata Hyuga refrained from using the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique, simply dodging instead.
Kitazawa had told him that any ninjutsu is most effective the first time because it is unknown.
Hinata Hyuga plans to use the Leaf Village Body Flicker Technique to end the match, so she needs to find the right moment.
For a moment, the two were at an impasse.
They were all waiting for an opportunity.
Chapter 145 Hinata wins, mission complete.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Uchiha Sasuke formed hand seals and exhaled a large mouthful of flames.
With the aid of Fire Release chakra, the flames rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive fireball of extremely high temperature.
Hinata Hyuga stopped abruptly, and like a nimble cat, darted to the left.
He wields shuriken!
With a flick of his wrists, six shuriken flew out in a fan shape.
Soft Fist - Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!
Hinata Hyuga responded very decisively.
Her fair palms glowed with chakra as she slapped them six times, sending all six shuriken flying.
Even if the shuriken is wrapped with rubber bands, it won't help.
Because the shuriken was bounced too far, by the time Uchiha Sasuke pulled it back, Hyuga Hinata was no longer in the same spot.
"The white eye and the soft fist are really troublesome."
Sasuke Uchiha's expression darkened slightly as his mind raced, trying to figure out how to take advantage of the situation to use Genjutsu: Bubbles.
The problem he faces now is that Hinata Hyuga is very familiar with his Fire Release and Genjutsu.
It would be difficult to defeat her in the same way that you defeated Neji Hyuga.
