The shadow clone formation formed by puppetry threads was not foolproof. Even if the ruthless Inuzuka Kiba tried his best, he could destroy one or two shadow clones.

No matter how it changes, the basis of Sakura's defense is the chakra shield derived from the changes in chakra form and nature. It is impossible to dodge all attacks, and Inuzuka Kiba is not that bad. As long as a certain hit rate can be guaranteed, Sakura can consume a lot of chakra.

If Sakura's real body still has some resistance, the shadow clone's chakra shield is broken and it is basically destroyed. The weakness of not being able to withstand strong attacks has always existed, and Sakura does not have a physical clone that can exist for a long time.

The current consumption is still within the range that Sakura can bear. If the shadow clone is destroyed, just create another one. As long as there are enough people to suppress Inuzuka Kiba, they can win.

The final result did not exceed Mizuki's expectations. Relying on the advantage of chakra, Inuzuka Kiba ran all over the field until his strength was exhausted, but he was unable to explore the limit of Haruno Sakura's chakra. While staggering, he was knocked down by Sakura's and her shadow clone's heavy punch. Akamaru, who had even weaker strength, had already fallen not far away, twitching constantly and unconscious.

"It's finally over."

This match lasted longer than the previous ones combined. If Inuzuka Kiba was a little older, the fight might have lasted until dark.

"However, Sakura was able to defeat Inuzuka Kiba without even using her full strength. Her strength is beyond my expectation..."

In Mizuki's eyes, the strength of the two was obvious at a glance. Sakura was indeed slightly stronger, so it was reasonable for her to win. However, Mizuki was a little surprised that she won without even using her trump card, relying on some tricks that Mizuki taught her.

Mizuki had already given up on puppetry, a direction of development, and only taught it to Sakura as a supplement to her knowledge. Unexpectedly, it would actually come in handy.

Just during the preparation for the next game, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy and Mizuki finally returned to the arena.

"The progress is very slow! We haven't even finished the quarterfinals yet!"

It has been past noon since morning.

The game was so exciting that few people left their seats. As for the VIP stands on the upper level, they had already been served a sumptuous lunch, but other spectators did not receive such a good treatment. Of course, where there is demand there is a market, and several snack bars in Konoha have started delivery services. Not only are the menu prices a little more expensive than usual, but they also charge a corresponding service fee, which is considered to be a jackpot. But even so, many people still made a lot of money.

The audience can take a break, but the game will not stop. The match between Uchiha Sasuke and Karui is about to begin.

"Sakura won too? That's pretty good." Kakashi looked at the results. No one from Team 7 had been eliminated yet.

"Tenten and Neji also won. It looks like we're still tied, Kakashi." Might Guy raised his thumb and grinned, but no one knew what competition he was talking about.

"Shui Mu, two of your students were eliminated..."

“Can’t you say something nice?” Mizuki, who was standing at the back, said unhappily, “Even if Class 8’s grades are bad, they won’t deduct my salary…”

In the Chunin Exam where hundreds of Genin take part, it is already quite good to be able to enter the top twelve.

Off the field, Karui nervously looked at Uchiha Sasuke who was silent across from him. In the competition where he defeated Chojuro, Sasuke's strength made the other candidates feel a great deal of pressure.

The gap was too obvious, so Karui, who was facing him, did not dare to act rashly. Even though the examiner Yamashiro Aoba had already given the signal to start the game, Karui did not dare to launch an attack casually.

"You're not going to do it?"

Uchiha Sasuke chuckled.

"Then I'll be welcome."

If the opponent had not been a female ninja of similar age, Uchiha Sasuke would not have said so much. However, that was all, his pride made him disdain to attack those he believed to be weak, but he would not show mercy either.

Sasuke slowly formed seals with his hands, and flashes of lightning appeared around him again.

Karui's strengths lie in swordsmanship and speed. Many people in the Hidden Cloud Village are proficient in lightning escape techniques, and there are many secret techniques that can use lightning chakra to stimulate body cells and increase activity. Most of them know one or two. As the apprentice of Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Karui naturally has no shortage of secret techniques and inheritance.

However, seeing how Uchiha Sasuke defeated Chojuro and how he was obviously faster than most of the ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village, Karui was certainly not good enough and the only thing he could rely on was the combination of speed and swordsmanship.

The Cloud-style swordsmanship passed down in the Hidden Cloud Village is also a very famous means of attack. Many ninjas have developed their own unique schools based on this inheritance. Karui's development direction is the combination of orthodox speed and skills.

When Karui was hesitating whether to swing his sword to attack, his eyes blurred and he lost sight of Uchiha Sasuke in an instant.

"not good……"

He gripped the hilt of the long sword on his back with his right hand and pulled it violently. A bright silver blade light flashed across the arc area from the front to the back of his body. At the end of the flashing silver tip of the sword, Uchiha Sasuke leaned back and narrowly avoided the sharp blade that was about to cut his throat.

Uchiha Sasuke, who escaped the disaster, quickly retreated and looked at the long sword in Karui's hand with lingering fear.

If the speed is too fast, it means that there will be more and more straight-line attacks, and it will be more difficult to control. Just like Chidori, if there is no dynamic vision assistance from the Sharingan, it is actually just one step away from defeating the enemy with one blow and seeking death.

"Is your intuition very sharp?"

His speed is not as fast as mine, and his swordsmanship skills are not necessarily that sophisticated, but the combination of the two, coupled with his rich experience and excellent fighting sense, can also achieve defense and attack one step faster than others. To be accepted as a disciple by Kirabi, he must have outstanding specialties and his qualifications cannot be too bad.

"A very difficult and talented ninja!"

With this thought in mind, Sasuke stopped underestimating his enemy and started thinking about how to deal with it.

The battle with Chojuro had consumed too much chakra. If he delayed here for too long, the next battle against Sakura would be dangerous. In the past few months, the two of them often practiced together, and Sasuke was also wary of Sakura's hidden strength.

"We must fight quickly and decisively! We still have two tough battles to fight, we can't waste our energy here!"

In the stands, many spectators were cheering for Uchiha Sasuke. At least among the new generation of ninjas, no one is more popular than him!
