Chapter 494: Hiruzen Sarutobi: I Can Retire

"A pity."

Hiashi Hyuga felt a little regret.

But Neji Hyuga had already performed quite well.

After all, his opponent was Naruto Uzumaki, who possessed the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Rasengan.

Hiashi Hyuga felt subtle when he thought of this.

Who could have imagined that in a plain and unremarkable practical exam at the ninja academy, one could see the Rasengan?

Hiashi Hyuga remembered when he was in school, being able to see a classmate use Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu was extremely rare.

His gaze fell on Hinata Hyuga again.

Sasuke Uchiha's performance was very eye-catching.

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga were not bad either.

Overall, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan were evenly matched in this student council practical selection.

Hiashi Hyuga was really worried that Sasuke Uchiha would win against Naruto Uzumaki.

In that case, the Uchiha clan would definitely steal the spotlight.

Now, this situation was not bad.

"Naruto!"

Might Guy gave a thumbs up and said: "Itachi didn't let down youth!"

"Teacher Guy!"

Naruto Uzumaki stopped his steps and shouted excitedly: "I felt the youth of boiling blood!"

"Naruto, keep walking!"

Might Guy encouraged: "Not stopping is youth!"

"Ahem."

Kurenai Yuhi hurriedly stopped them and said: "The next match is coming up soon; it's better if Itachi let Naruto leave the field first."

The implication was to stop talking about youth.

"Indeed."

Kakashi Hatake agreed for once.

Mainly because Naruto Uzumaki was the focus of the whole field now.

Their interaction would attract a lot of attention, and then they would discover him.

Kakashi Hatake had killed his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but he still wasn't very comfortable facing this situation.

"Kakashi."

Might Guy turned his head and asked: "What is your evaluation of the current Naruto?"

Kakashi Hatake fell into silence.

He had previously said that Naruto Uzumaki only won by relying on his large amount of chakra, but obviously, he had been slapped in the face.

Watching these two matches, Naruto Uzumaki's use of the Rasengan was very smart.

Although it didn't count for much in his eyes, a seven-year-old Naruto Uzumaki being able to do this was already extremely good.

Kakashi Hatake thought of Minato Namikaze.

If he were still here, he would definitely be very satisfied with Naruto Uzumaki.

"Very good."

Kakashi Hatake finally said.

"Haha!"

Might Guy laughed excitedly when he heard this.

Someone who didn't know would think he had won against Kakashi Hatake in a spar.

"Third round, fifth match: Shikamaru Nara versus Hana Inuzuka!"

Kitazawa drew lots again.

There were twelve students entering the third round.

Now that four matches had been held, two were left, meaning four students hadn't appeared yet.

After Shikamaru Nara versus Hana Inuzuka was determined, the remaining duel was also determined, which was Ino Yamanaka versus Tenten.

"Why can't Itachi give up in the student council practical selection?"

Shikamaru Nara looked at the three big wolf dogs opposite him and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

If nothing went wrong, he would definitely be chased around the field.

If he could forfeit, he would definitely forfeit.

After all, having reached the third round, he had already exceeded his goal.

But unfortunately, Kitazawa had anticipated his anticipation.

Not only could he not forfeit, but he couldn't compete passively either.

Once Kitazawa saw it, there would be serious consequences.

What consequences, Kitazawa didn't say, but Shikamaru Nara didn't want to know.

"Please."

Hana Inuzuka used her full strength as soon as she came up.

After all, Shikamaru Nara's performance in the previous round was very good, winning against Tenten with strength and intelligence.

Dynamic Marking!

Hana Inuzuka and Gamarumaru leaped up, turning into a tornado and crashing toward Shikamaru Nara.

Behind them were the other two ninja dogs.

Shikamaru Nara dodged to the left without hesitation.

Although he dodged the Dynamic Marking, he ran into the two ninja dogs head-on.

At the same time, Hana Inuzuka and Gamarumaru stopped suddenly, changed direction, and used Dynamic Marking again.

Shikamaru Nara leaped high, vaulting over the two ninja dogs.

Shadow Tentacles!

In the air, Shikamaru Nara's shadow overlapped with the shadows of the two ninja dogs.

His shadow turned into two tentacles and grabbed the necks of the two ninja dogs.

Their attack stopped abruptly.

"What?"

Hana Inuzuka and Gamarumaru's target changed from Shikamaru Nara to the two ninja dogs.

Seeing this, they hurriedly stopped their steps and terminated the Dynamic Marking.

Shadow Possession Jutsu!

Shikamaru Nara landed on the ground and immediately used his shadow to manipulate one of the ninja dogs to rush toward Hana Inuzuka and Gamarumaru.

"Gamarumaru!"
