“That’s Manyue’s younger brother.”
Zabuza Momochi said in a deep voice, "We should trust him."
After being captured by Itachi Uchiha and redeemed by Mei Terumi, he became more restrained in his personality.
Since he wasn't seriously injured, he didn't return to Kirigakure ahead of schedule.
He didn't know much about Hozuki Suigetsu, but he was quite familiar with Hozuki Mangetsu.
Hozuki Mangetsu was known from a young age as a child prodigy loved by the Ninja Swords and was extremely famous in Kirigakure.
"We will win!"
Another Jonin from Kirigakure said decisively, "He wields the blunt sword, Helmeppo!"
"good."
Zabuza Momochi nodded and said, "Naruto Uzumaki has the Samehada sword, but Sasuke Uchiha doesn't."
Hozuki Suigetsu chose the blunt sword Kabuto-giri from the remaining four ninja swords.
Although he preferred the Broken Blade, the Executioner's Blade, it was in the hands of Juzo Biwa, so he had to settle for second best.
The blunt knife, though called a knife, is actually an axe and a hammer.
Its effect is that when an axe strikes a hammer, it generates a shockwave that destroys everything.
Despite its name, Blunt Blade, it possesses the strongest attack power.
"No matter what, we have to win at least one game."
"Indeed, it would be too shameful to lose everything."
"Although there are still three people, the other two are no match for Suigetsu. He is now our only hope in Kirigakure."
"He can't lose!"
The ninjas of Kirigakure had no idea that this genin exchange meeting would turn out this way.
But since things had come to this, they could only believe in Hozuki Suigetsu.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in Konoha Village was more relaxed.
"If we win one more game, we can declare Konoha Village the victorious village ahead of schedule."
Akimichi Choza remarked with deep emotion, "The geniuses of our Konoha Village are truly too strong."
Over the years, the generation of geniuses in Konoha Village, including Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, has produced the most and the most extraordinary talents.
"This is all thanks to Kitazawa."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "It was he who had these geniuses exchange their talents ahead of time."
"Good teachers and good students complement each other."
Nara Shikaku said calmly, "Just like you and the Hokage."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile deepened.
He had many achievements in his life, and training the Legendary Sannin of Konoha was one of his greatest achievements.
"Fugaku, what do you think of this sparring match?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Fugaku Uchiha and asked.
"Sasuke won't let us down."
Fugaku Uchiha thought for a moment and then replied.
"That's what I think too."
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed.
He had been the teacher of the genius class for a long time and was very familiar with the strength of Uchiha Sasuke and the others.
Hiashi Hyuga sighed inwardly, thinking it a pity.
The Hyuga clan had a high chance of standing out in this genin exchange tournament, since two of the five participating students were from the Hyuga clan.
However, Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga were unlucky.
Of the five participating ninjas from Kirigakure, Chojuro and Hozuki Suigetsu are the most famous.
Even if you win, it won't be a high-profile match if you can't find a match against them.
Ultimately, when people discuss this genin exchange meeting, they will basically only talk about the battles between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke, youth is about fighting! Go all out and take him down!"
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said.
"No need to go all out."
Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.
"..."
Kiba Inuzuka, who had originally intended to say "good luck," suddenly fell silent.
I give you full marks for your show-off act.
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno's eyes lit up as she said, "We can take him down so easily!"
"Watch out for his knife."
Hyuga Neji glanced at the blunt sword, Kabuto, and said.
"This should be a blunt knife with a hemlock cut."
Nara Shikamaru pondered and said, "Its attack power is very strong."
Because Naruto Uzumaki obtained the Samehada sword, they also took the opportunity to learn about the other six ninja swords.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have been established for a long time.
Information about the seven ninja swords is hardly a secret.
"I have Thor's sword."
Uchiha Sasuke said nonchalantly.
"The Hozuki clan is also skilled in water escape techniques."
Shino Aburame reminded her.
Uchiha Sasuke nodded.
Water Release has a certain degree of effectiveness against Fire Release.
Fortunately, he knows more than just fire-style techniques.
Uchiha Sasuke walked up to the platform and stood face to face with Hozuki Suigetsu.
Everyone looked at them.
Without a doubt, this was the most crucial battle at the Genin Exchange Conference.
Hozuki Suigetsu won, but Kirigakure still has a long way to go.
Sasuke Uchiha won, which effectively ended the match.
Kitazawa looked at them and sensed the butterfly effect he was experiencing.
In the original work, Uchiha Sasuke and Hozuki Suigetsu became teammates and formed Team Taka.
But now the Eagle Squad probably doesn't exist anymore, and they can no longer fight side by side; they can only be enemies.
"Battle begins!"
Kitazawa shouted from the edge of the platform.
Water Release: Water Gun Technique!
Hozuki Suigetsu raised his index finger and pointed it at Uchiha Sasuke.
A stream of water shot out like a bullet.
It was so fast and fine that all one could see was a blurry hue of water.
At the same time, he grabbed the blunt sword, Kabuto, and rushed forward, raising the axe high as if to chop off Uchiha Sasuke's head.
A crimson hue flashed.
Uchiha Sasuke immediately activated the two-tomoe Sharingan.
He stood still, tilted his head, and effortlessly dodged the Water Release: Water Gun Technique.
A strong wind swept in.
Uchiha Sasuke gripped the Thunder God Sword and charged forward.
A dull thud sounded.
Thor's sword blocked the blunt blade Helmet's axe.
"Two-tomoe Sharingan?"
Hozuki Suigetsu was startled and dared not look into his eyes.
He aimed his hammer at the axe with his left hand and brought it down.
Sasuke Uchiha's pupils contracted.
Normally, the hammer should be aimed at him, not the axe.
Clearly, this is a special usage of the blunt knife technique.
The instant he sensed something was wrong, Sasuke Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique.
He often sparred with Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, and others, and has come to understand a principle.
Ninja warfare is intelligence warfare.
When faced with unknown abilities or ninjutsu, avoid direct confrontation first, then devise a solution.
The hammer and axe trembled simultaneously, creating an invisible shockwave.
The shockwave struck the ground, instantly creating spiderweb-like cracks.
The onlookers, especially the Hidden Mist Village ninjas, were thrown into a commotion.
They weren't amazed by the power of the blunt blade, Helmeppo; they were shocked to see Uchiha Sasuke's two-tomoe Sharingan.
As is widely known, the more tomoe (comma-shaped markings) a Sharingan has, the stronger it is.
The two-tomoe Sharingan signifies that Sasuke Uchiha has reached the strength of a Chunin.
If he were seventeen, the ninjas of Kirigakure wouldn't be surprised, but he's only seven.
Mei Terumi subconsciously bit her lip.
All the information Qing had gathered had now become true intelligence.
She didn't know what kind of expression to wear.
Is it because Qing has strong intelligence gathering capabilities? That's definitely not the case.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Konoha Village did not resort to underhanded tactics to cover their tracks.
So, does that mean Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki really defeated Jonin?
Mei Terumi thought about it carefully and realized that, given their strength, such a possibility did indeed exist.
Whether it's the Rasengan or the two-tomoe Sharingan, even a Jonin can easily be caught off guard.
Mei Terumi fell silent.
The same applies to Qing.
He really hoped that the information he had gathered was false.
On the high platform, Uchiha Sasuke charged towards Hozuki Suigetsu with the Thunder God Sword in hand.
He did not use illusion magic.
He didn't feel much pressure during the exchange.
