Chapter 597: Sasuke: Naruto, this is the Uchiha

"Second round, second match, live combat: Hinata Hyuga versus Rock Lee."

Kitazawa stood in front of the lottery box and said.

Except for the match between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga, he didn't do any behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Because it wasn't necessary.

The battle between Hinata Hyuga and Rock Lee was one-sided.

After all, the Gentle Fist was too restraining for ordinary taijutsu ninjas.

Plus, Hinata Hyuga's strength was originally stronger than Rock Lee's.

"Winner, Hinata Hyuga."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he walked up to treat Rock Lee.

He and Naruto Uzumaki had the same personality, fighting with all their might every time.

And when hit in the pressure points, it was easy to get injured.

Although it was just some skin injuries.

"Thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa."

Rock Lee stood up, turned to look at Hinata Hyuga and said: "A battle with all one's might is truly full of youth, let's fight again next time!"

He walked off the field after saying this.

But Hinata Hyuga didn't leave; instead, she looked at Kitazawa with anticipation.

After all, he had just patted Ino Yamanaka's head.

"Itachi won beautifully, keep up the good work next time."

Kitazawa smiled and pinched her little face.

Hinata Hyuga was slightly startled and immediately nodded heavily.

She was satisfied and walked off the field with a light heart.

"Second round, third match, live combat: Naruto Uzumaki versus Hana Inuzuka."

Kitazawa drew two more names from the lottery box.

"Sis, do your best."

Kiba Inuzuka immediately comforted her: "It's normal not to be able to beat a freak like Naruto."

"Indeed, it's normal to lose to Naruto."

Ino Yamanaka echoed.

"If it really doesn't work, just admit defeat directly."

Shikamaru Nara yawned and suggested.

"Mm, thank Itachi all."

Hana Inuzuka said very frankly.

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head.

No matter how slow he was, he sensed a problem.

"This is respect for the strong."

Kiba Inuzuka put his arm around his shoulder and said.

"Hehe, I'm not strong enough yet."

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but smile and said: "Teacher Kitazawa is the true powerhouse."

He was beaten very badly every time he sparred with Kitazawa.

"..."

Kiba Inuzuka's mouth twitched upon hearing this, not knowing what to say.

Itachi, a first-year student, have already set your target on Kitazawa, who has long been a Special Jonin?

There were simply too many points to roast.

Naruto Uzumaki and Hana Inuzuka entered the arena.

Their battle didn't exceed everyone's expectations.

Although Hana Inuzuka had three ninja dogs, Naruto Uzumaki on the opposite side had countless shadow clones.

She was besieged from beginning to end until the end.

"Second round, fourth match, live combat: Neji Hyuga versus Yakumo Kurama."

Kitazawa couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This sparring match made him a little interested.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt the outcome was already decided.

Neji Hyuga didn't have much chance of winning.

Mangekyo Sharingan-level genjutsu was still too unsolvable at this stage.

Neji Hyuga walked into the arena with a solemn face.

His strength was among the best in the genius class.

Even facing Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, he felt there was a possibility of winning.

Only Yakumo Kurama left him with no way to start.

Eight Trigrams Air Palm!

Neji Hyuga directly adopted a long-range attack.

An invisible air shockwave swept toward Yakumo Kurama.

Terror Illusion!

Yakumo Kurama immediately used her Kekkei Genkai.

At the same time, she ran quickly, trying to dodge Neji Hyuga's attack.

But she was still a step slow and was hit in the arm.

Fortunately, Neji Hyuga was still dragged into the illusion.

Yakumo Kurama couldn't help but let out a breath.

The speed of the Eight Trigrams Air Palm was actually not particularly fast.

But her taijutsu was too poor; she only learned the Konoha Whirlwind.

It was of no use in front of Neji Hyuga.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up as he watched.

Neji Hyuga helped him verify one thing.

If one adopted a fast enough attack at the beginning, it was possible to defeat Yakumo Kurama before she cast genjutsu.

Although Sasuke Uchiha didn't have such ninjutsu now, Lightning Style ninjutsu could do it.

After all, Lightning Style ninjutsu was known for its speed.

"Winner, Yakumo Kurama."

Kitazawa came to Yakumo Kurama and stretched out his hands to help her treat her arm.

After the battle just now, he discovered a problem.

He should teach Yakumo Kurama Konoha-style taijutsu, not Konoha Whirlwind.

After all, her taijutsu foundation was too poor.

But it didn't matter; after she learned Konoha Whirlwind, he would teach her Konoha-style taijutsu.

Time passed slowly.

The second round of live combat came to an end.

"I announce the list of students entering the third round."

Kitazawa took the roster handed over by Iruka Umino.

He took a look and found that it was basically the same as the last final exam, which was the student council selection live combat.

But there was one more, Sakura Haruno.

This was because she had learned Water Style: Water Wave.

Just one Water Style was better than most students in the genius class.

Except for Choji Akimichi, all of the Konoha 12 entered the third round.

Choji Akimichi participated in the special training too late and didn't have time to learn the Akimichi clan's secret technique, so his strength was a cut below.

There were only two students who were not in the Konoha 12: Hana Inuzuka and Yakumo Kurama.

Karin had already been eliminated in the second round.

"Break time is over, now start the third round of live combat."

Kitazawa walked to the lottery box.

After the first two rounds of live combat, the thirteen students in this third round actually knew each other very well.
