The first round of competition continues.
With the addition of Kaguya Kimimaro, Haku, Tayuya, and Jugo, the number of students in the genius class increased to thirty-four.
Although it was previously stated that the gifted class should maintain a size of thirty people, four people could not be kicked out halfway through, so it became thirty-four people.
Thirty-four people, one-on-one, will need seventeen matches to complete the first round.
These seventeen sparring matches broadened the horizons of Kaguya Kimimaro and Tayuya.
Although the remaining matches were not as intense as the previous seven, they still surprised them greatly.
Without a doubt, any student in the genius class could be considered a genius even if they were placed in the Hidden Sound Village.
During the break, Kaguya Kimimaro, Jugo, and Tayuya remained silent.
The gifted class gave them a huge surprise, or rather, a huge shock.
Bai, on the other hand, remained very calm.
His goal was not to compete for first place in the genius class, but to become as strong as possible to enter the dark side and realize his value.
This was also to repay Kitazawa for saving his life back then.
"The future of Konoha Village is getting better and better."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with great satisfaction.
If nothing unexpected happens, Kaguya Kimimaro will definitely become an elite Jonin, and might even qualify as a Kage.
The thought that he came from Kirigakure made him want to laugh; this was a windfall.
All I can say is that Orochimaru did a great job!
"It's unimaginable what Konoha will be like after Naruto and the others come of age."
Maruhoshi Kosuke said with a big smile.
"It will definitely be stronger than the current Konoha Village."
Kakashi Hatake spoke up.
This genius class alone can produce several Kage-level characters.
Without a doubt, this was the most terrifying class of students in the history of Konoha.
"The second round is now beginning."
Kitazawa walked to the lottery box and casually pulled out two small slips of paper. "The first match is between Kurama Yakumo and Kaguya Kimimaro."
"Kimimaro, be careful of her illusions."
Jugo reminded him.
"come on!"
Duo didn't know what to say, so she could only cheer him on.
Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow!
Kaguya Kimimaro immediately unleashed her chakra and charged towards Kurama Yakumo.
He was incredibly fast, reaching her in an instant.
But it was still too late.
A terrifying illusion!
An invisible wave spread, pulling him into an illusion.
Kurama Yakumo looked at the bone that was so close to him and slowly took a step back.
But Kaguya Kimimaro was already standing still, no longer moving.
Of course, this is the scene seen by viewers such as Uchiha Sasuke and Yamanaka Ino.
In reality, he was already locked in a fierce battle within the illusion.
"???"
Tayuya directly experienced the terror of Kurama Yakumo's illusion technique.

Chapter 314 Uchiha Sasuke's Pretense
"The victor is Kurama Yakumo!"
Kitazawa announced.
Kaguya Kimimaro left the arena looking dazed.
In his sparring match with Yakumo Kurama, he didn't know when he was under a spell or how he lost; everything happened very suddenly.
Tayuya felt that Yakumo Kurama was more terrifying than Naruto Uzumaki.
At least when facing Naruto Uzumaki, Kimimaro Kaguya could put up a fight.
But during this match, he stood still until he lost.
From the audience's perspective, it's too terrifying.
Tayuya also studies illusion magic.
She discovered that her previous guess had come true; Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu was definitely at the level of a Jonin.
"Kimimaro, this is not your problem."
"I can comfort you," Jugo said.
Kaguya Kimimaro opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He, who was always proud and arrogant, lost two games in a row and was completely stunned.
Sasuke Uchiha sighed inwardly.
He knows it so well!
He had already experienced what Kaguya Kimimaro had gone through.
Even now, having learned Lightning Release, he still can't deal with Kurama Yakumo's genjutsu.
Perhaps only when he awakens the three-tomoe Sharingan will he be able to contend with him.
"The second match of the second round is between Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha."
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said.
Kurama Yakumo's fight against Kaguya Kimimaro was orchestrated by him behind the scenes, but Haruno Sakura's fight against Uchiha Sasuke was not.
"what?"
Sakura Haruno froze on the spot. "My opponent is Sasuke-kun?"
"Sakura, do your best!"
Those in the mountains and fields, enjoying the spectacle, never mind making things worse.
"Sakura, you're skilled in Water Release, which counters his Fire Release. You can definitely defeat Sasuke!"
Kiba Inuzuka, also a fun-loving person, suppressed his laughter and cheered her on.
"That's true."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.
"Sakura, you can't give up on your youth!"
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said.
"You might not be without a fighting chance!"
He encouraged her every day.
Sakura Haruno glared at Ino Yamanaka.
You've set a bad example!
Tayuya, being the only honest person, felt puzzled.
In her opinion, the gap between Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha was too great, and she had no chance of winning at all.
"Wait for me, Sasuke!"
When Haruno Sakura saw Uchiha Sasuke walk onto the field, she quickly chased after him.
"Battle begins!"
Kitazawa stepped aside.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Uchiha Sasuke showed no mercy, tilting his head back and spitting out a scorching fireball.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Upon seeing this, Sakura Haruno immediately unleashed her full power.
The chakra within his body gathered, and a water dragon flew out.
boom!
The fireball and the water jet collided, creating a large amount of steam.
Sasuke Uchiha activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and quickly located Sakura Haruno.
Most of this water vapor is pure water vapor, not the mist produced by the Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique of Kirigakure.
His Sharingan can see very clearly.
Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow slightly.
The water dragon wasn't completely evaporated by the fireball; a section of it emerged from the mist, forming a stream that rushed towards him.
At the same time, Sakura Haruno formed hand seals again.
Sasuke Uchiha jumped to the left and easily avoided the water.
Water Release: Water Chaos!
Sakura Haruno placed her left hand near her mouth, with her index and middle fingers together.
She opened her mouth and spat out a stream of high-pressure water.
Body Flicker Technique!
Uchiha Sasuke unleashed chakra from his legs.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, dodging the high-pressure water jet with a serpentine maneuver.
Sasuke Uchiha drew the Thunder God Sword and thrust it directly at Sakura Haruno.
Sakura Haruno had just used a ninjutsu and had no way to dodge, so she instinctively closed her eyes.
Sasuke Uchiha's Thunder God Sword stopped at her neck.
"As expected, we still can't beat them."
Kiba Inuzuka said with great regret.
"We couldn't beat them anyway."
Nara Shikamaru smiled and said.
"But Sakura's strength has indeed improved a lot."
Every day I feel that I can no longer win against her as easily as before.
Yamanaka Ino instinctively clenched her fist.
Six words flashed through her mind: "Teacher Kitazawa, save me!"
Losing to Sakura Haruno made her very unwilling, and she has decided to go to Kitazawa for special training after the monthly exam.
With Maruboshi Kosuke's help in special training, Haruno Sakura couldn't fall behind.
"In the third match of the second round, Tayuya will face off against Shino Aburame."
