Chapter 956: Kimimaro, Who Was Instantly Defeated

After the Great Sword Samehada returned the chakra to Kimimaro Kaguya, it ran back to Naruto Uzumaki's side.

It only had one impression of Kitazawa, and that was fear.

After all, its previous user, Kisame Hoshigaki, had been killed by him.

Kitazawa looked at Kimimaro Kaguya and reached out his hand.

Pale green chakra surged out.

Because of the Shikotsumyaku, Kimimaro Kaguya had no obvious external injuries.

But the vibrational force generated by him using the bone sword to counter the Wind Release: Shuriken in the storm just now had caused damage inside his body.

"Thank Itachi, Kitazawa-sensei."

Kimimaro Kaguya came back to his senses from his defeat.

Although losing to Naruto Uzumaki still made it hard for him to accept.

When he was in the Hidden Sound Village, he was a genius among geniuses in the true sense.

No matter how many geniuses Orochimaru found, no one could compare to him.

But after coming to the Genius Class, he had lost so miserably in just the first match.

If Orochimaru knew, he would definitely be very disappointed.

"Kimimaro!"

Naruto Uzumaki dispelled the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and walked in front of him.

Kimimaro Kaguya looked up subconsciously upon hearing this.

"What a match full of youth!"

Naruto Uzumaki smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said, "I hope there will be a chance to have another match!"

Kimimaro Kaguya was slightly startled, feeling unaccustomed.

In the Hidden Sound Village, there was only one outcome after defeat, and that was death; there would be no chance to try again.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the silent Kimimaro Kaguya and suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Wasn't this the him who lost matches before?

He subconsciously clenched his fists; he couldn't lose today!

But... after watching this match, Sasuke Uchiha still had no certainty of defeating Naruto Uzumaki.

Because the strength he displayed had improved quite a bit compared to before, especially that Wind Release: Shuriken.

Sasuke Uchiha felt that if he swapped with Kimimaro Kaguya, he wouldn't necessarily be able to persist longer than him.

The best way was not to let him use Wind Release: Shuriken.

But that wasn't easy.

And Naruto Uzumaki wasn't just Wind Release: Shuriken; he also had the Rasengan, which he hadn't even used in this match.

On the other hand, Kimimaro Kaguya had exposed all his strength after this match.

Sasuke Uchiha felt he was much easier to deal with than Naruto Uzumaki.

Neji Hyuga fell into deep thought.

He had thought it was about a 50/50 chance against Kimimaro Kaguya before, but after he showed this Earth Curse Seal, it was hard to say.

The Earth Curse Seal could significantly increase strength, speed, and chakra, which was very tricky.

"I feel like if I drew Kimimaro, I would mostly lose."

Sakura Haruno sighed and said, "It seems my practical exam ranking has to drop by one."

Her Water Release was both offensive and defensive, but it was hard to have an effect on the Shikotsumyaku.

Unless she used enough Water Release ninjutsu to keep him from getting close and win from a distance.

But unfortunately, she couldn't do that yet.

"If I use genjutsu to control him before he gets close, there might be a chance of winning."

Ino Yamanaka thought and said.

"We'll only know after we fight!"

Kiba Inuzuka didn't have much certainty, but he released harsh words first, "I might not necessarily lose!"

Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses.

Kimimaro Kaguya made him feel great pressure.

However, he wasn't particularly concerned about winning or losing; if he couldn't beat him, he couldn't beat him; anyway, everyone was a classmate, not an enemy.

"Then wouldn't the one who really restrains Kimimaro be Yakumo?"

Tenten suddenly had a thought and asked.

"Is Yakumo's genjutsu even more powerful than Ino's?"

Tayuya asked upon hearing this.

In her view, for a group of seven or eight-year-old students, learning B-rank ninjutsu was already the limit.

Like her and Ino Yamanaka.

Yakumo Kurama gave her the feeling of having no presence, usually very quiet, and speaking gently.

Could such a girl have abnormal strength like Naruto Uzumaki?

Tayuya felt it was unlikely.

Although the Hidden Leaf Village was one of the Five Great Villages, there shouldn't be so many geniuses that exceeded common sense.

"Yakumo's genjutsu is not an ordinary genjutsu."

Ino Yamanaka turned to look at her and replied, "It's a Kekkei Genkai that was once on par with the Sharingan."

"I think it's even more powerful than the Sharingan!"

Sakura Haruno said immediately.

But her statement wasn't refuted.

Judging from the current performance, Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu was indeed better than Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan.

Sometimes, Sasuke Uchiha also thought about this question.

Why was it on par, but the Sharingan couldn't compare?

"Huh?"

Tayuya's pupils shook.

What's the situation with this class? Why are there so many outrageous geniuses?

"Just get used to it."

Shikamaru Nara glanced at her and said, "We geniuses can only be ordinary people in front of them."

"Kimimaro, are Itachi okay?"

Jugo greeted him.

Kimimaro Kaguya shook his head.

The injuries he suffered had been healed by Kitazawa, but the frustration of being defeated by a peer for the first time wouldn't dissipate for a while.

"Kimimaro is really strong, it made me feel the boiling youth!"

Naruto Uzumaki was very excited.

Because the Genius Class had one more classmate who could be called an opponent.

"Don't get cocky too early!"

Sasuke Uchiha snorted coldly and said.

"The more arrogant Itachi are, the easier it is for things to go wrong!"

Kiba Inuzuka agreed.

"...?"

Sasuke Uchiha always felt that Kiba Inuzuka's statement was an indiscriminate attack.

Tayuya was even more gritting her teeth.

Although it was unlikely for her to enter the top five of the Genius Class, she had to show her strength to prove that being instantly defeated was just an accident.

"First round, sixth match, Sasuke Uchiha versus Hana Inuzuka."

Kitazawa drew the lots and announced.

"Sister, do your best."

Kiba Inuzuka shook his head and said, "Your luck is even worse than mine."

Tayuya's gaze fell on Sasuke Uchiha.

Although she didn't know his specific strength yet, he had been very confident since she met him, so he was likely very strong.

But how strong, she would only know after seeing it.

Kimimaro Kaguya barely managed to cheer up.

The reputation of the Uchiha clan was known throughout the ninja world.

Most importantly, there were three rounds in the practical exam, and he still had two rounds, so it was possible to encounter Sasuke Uchiha.

He had lost once, and he didn't want to lose a second time.

Sasuke Uchiha and Hana Inuzuka walked onto the field.

Both were very calm.

One was confident he wouldn't lose, the other was calm that she couldn't win.

Quadruple Fang Passing Fang!

Hana Inuzuka showed her full strength as soon as the battle started.

She and the three Gray Maru brothers immediately turned into four high-speed rotating tornadoes and rushed toward Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke Uchiha stood in place and took out the Sword of Kusanagi.

He gripped the hilt and swung it toward the tornadoes.

Lightning Release chakra was poured in, and brilliant lightning radiated from the blade.

In the blink of an eye, there was a large amount of lightning in front of him, and they gathered together like a sea of lightning.

The four tornadoes entered the sea of lightning, and chaotic chakra turbulence was immediately generated.

Sasuke Uchiha put away the Sword of Kusanagi and performed hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Chakra was converted in his throat, and a large fireball was smashed out.

The four tornadoes were confronting the sea of lightning and were immediately hit by the large fireball.

More chakra turbulence was generated.
