"Greatsword - Samehada?"
Sarutobi Asuma immediately recognized the knife in Uzumaki Naruto's hand.
He suddenly remembered Kitazawa killing the Water Spinach Fugu Demon.
All Sarutobi Asuma wanted to ask Kitazawa was, "Why do you give all sorts of ninja tools to your students?"
No wonder half of his Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue's chakra was absorbed in an instant.
"Konoha-ryu Swordsmanship!"
Naruto Uzumaki descended from the sky, shouting.
Sarutobi Asuma naturally dared not touch the Greatsword Samehada again.
He quickly stepped back.
With a loud bang!
The greatsword Samehada crashed to the ground, instantly creating a deep crater.
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!
Sarutobi Asuma seized the opportunity and exhaled a plume of hot ash.
As the soot appeared, the surrounding air distorted, and waves of heat spread outwards.
"Samehada: Chain Slash!"
Naruto Uzumaki leaped into the air, and chains extended from the hilt of his sword.
The greatsword Samehada flew out.
Ignoring the ashes, it bit directly at Sarutobi Asuma.
Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!
Sarutobi Asuma's expression changed, and he quickly spat out gusts of wind that slammed into the Greatsword Samehada.
The speed of the Greatsword Samehada came to a halt.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma used a Body Flicker Technique to rush towards Uzumaki Naruto.
Chakra Blade: Shinichimonji!
He drew both swords simultaneously, creating a burst of blue light.
Great, we won!
At this moment, Samehada, the greatsword, was too late to return in mid-air, and Naruto Uzumaki was unable to deal with his chakra blade.
But he forgot about Naruto's shadow clones.
"Leaf Double Whirlwind!"
Two shadow clones stood in front of Naruto Uzumaki, one on the left and one on the right, and kicked at Asuma Sarutobi.
"What a hassle!"
Sarutobi Asuma quickened his pace, charging forward with two chakra blades.
Two bangs.
The two shadow clones disappeared.
"Leaf Sudden Wind!"
Naruto Uzumaki threw away the hilt of his greatsword Samehada and delivered a spinning kick to Asuma Sarutobi's abdomen.
His two chakra blades were not retracted in time and were kicked away.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
When the second kick came, he opened his mouth.
Wind Release: Dust Technique!
A cloud of dust hurtled towards Naruto Uzumaki.
He suddenly lost his sight and was forced to stop moving.
However, his shadow clones had already surged over.
Come and welcome Thousand Hands Kill!
Sarutobi Asuma instinctively formed hand seals, but found that he didn't have enough chakra to use it a second time.
The Samehada sword absorbed chakra too quickly, leaving him helpless.
Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma immediately reformed his hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!
The fire-style technique from the Sarutobi clan quickly spread, engulfing the nearby shadow clones in a sea of fire.
Sarutobi Asuma caught his breath and quickly grabbed his chakra blade, rushing towards the dust.
He could no longer delay; he had to seize this opportunity to defeat Naruto Uzumaki.
"Spiral pills!"
When Sarutobi Asuma saw Uzumaki Naruto, he was greeted by a spinning ball of chakra.
His pupils dilated, and he instinctively raised his chakra blade.
The chakra blade, enhanced by wind-style chakra, became extremely sharp and sliced through the Rasengan.
However, when the Rasengan slid down from both sides, it still injured him, leaving his hands covered in blood.
Despite the excruciating pain, Sarutobi Asuma swung his chakra blade at Uzumaki Naruto.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt weak and powerless, and collapsed to the ground.
He subconsciously rolled his eyes and discovered that Samehada, the greatsword, had somehow appeared and bit his thigh.
"Samehada, shut up."
Kitazawa appeared in front of Sarutobi Asuma.
Upon hearing this, Samehada immediately released its grip.
Kitazawa reached out and began to treat Sarutobi Asuma.
Sarutobi Asuma closed his eyes and fainted.
Seven thousand words, three chapters combined into one, two chapters totaling twelve thousand words. I wrote an extra two thousand words to avoid breaking the chapter cycle. Please, kind readers, consider my diligence and vote with your monthly tickets! Thank you!
Chapter 347 A Sunny Day Aids Despair, Final Exams End, Tsunade's Deep Kiss
Sarutobi Asuma fainted because he had used up too much chakra.
Samehada.
While treating him, Kitazawa said, "Give him back his chakra."
Upon hearing this, Samehada opened its mouth and spat its chakra into Sarutobi Asuma.
Sarutobi Asuma's pale face quickly returned to normal.
After the Greatsword Samehada finished exhaling his chakra, it trotted over to Naruto Uzumaki and rubbed against his leg.
Sarutobi Asuma woke up.
He paused for a moment, recalling what had happened before he lost consciousness.
Sarutobi Asuma twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking it would have been better if he hadn't woken up.
"Asuma, where are you injured again?"
After Kitazawa healed his hands, he asked.
"That's all, thank you."
Sarutobi Asuma got up and couldn't help but complain, "How come each of your students is stronger than the last?"
"It's because they are highly talented."
Kitazawa replied with a smile.
Sarutobi Asuma hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
You mean I'm not very talented?
Thinking about it carefully, compared to Naruto and the others, he really does seem quite ordinary.
"Never mind, I'll leave the field first."
Sarutobi Asuma waved his hand and said.
Although losing was embarrassing, he realized it was because he was simply not as skilled as his opponent, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Senior Kitazawa."
Umino Iruka stepped forward and asked, "Now that all eighteen sparring matches are over, shall we proceed with the on-site rankings?"
"Wait a minute, there's another sparring match."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Naruto said before that he wanted to challenge Sasuke."
"This was exactly what I expected."
Upon hearing this, Iruka Umino smiled.
After all, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki had sparred many times and were lifelong rivals who helped each other improve.
In a sense, it is a very enviable relationship.
After all, many people spend their entire lives without finding such a close friend.
"I'll take on the challenge right now!"
Naruto Uzumaki, who hadn't participated, immediately spoke up upon hearing Kitazawa's words.
"Naruto, take a 15-minute rest."
Kitazawa looked at him and said, "You just had a match with Asuma, so your condition must have been affected."
Naruto was about to say he was fine, but then he thought that he really had to go all out to deal with Sasuke Uchiha.
He nodded and walked back to the queue of the gifted class.
"Naruto, I really don't know where you get so much chakra."
Kiba Inuzuka nudged him with envy and said, "If I had your chakra, I'd be number one every day."
"Having a lot of chakra doesn't necessarily mean you're strong."
Nara Shikamaru shook his head and said, "Talent is also very important."
"In addition to that, you also need a greatsword, Samehada."
Tian Tian added.
When Sasuke Uchiha heard the name Samehada, his lips twitched involuntarily.
One of the reasons Naruto Uzumaki was able to defeat Asuma Sarutobi was because of the Samehada sword.
He himself had suffered losses from it in previous exchanges.
Even now, with the Sharingan having reached the three-tomoe stage, he still has to be wary of the Greatsword Samehada.
Fortunately, his perception has greatly improved, and theoretically, he can prevent Samehada from touching him, thus preventing his chakra from being drained.
"Can't you let me fantasize a little?"
Kiba Inuzuka sighed and asked.
"Chasing after the strong, that's the true meaning of youth!"
Lee Locke clenched his fist and said, "After the practical exam, I'm going to run an extra hundred laps!"
"You're making me seem lazy."
Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but rub his forehead.
In fact, he was already quite diligent, but he was still far behind Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee.
