As the game officially began, the noise in the stands gradually died down, and everyone focused on watching the exciting game below.
"Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique."
Uchiha Sasuke's opening fire escape indicated that the battle would become intense from the very beginning. The two people who knew each other well didn't need to waste energy and chakra on any more tests!
Sakura, who had been prepared, retreated while holding up a chakra shield in front of her. Although she was not hit by the fire escape, the flying debris and the impact of the high-temperature air wave caused by the violent explosion could still cause considerable damage.
With the help of the cover of Fire Release, Sasuke's body flashed with lightning, and he instantly accelerated to the extreme. With an arc-shaped afterimage, he appeared behind Sakura in the blink of an eye, with his left hand flashing with arcs of electricity, reaching out to Sakura's back.
Knowing that there was danger behind her, Sakura activated her chakra, and a half chakra shield appeared on the path of Sasuke's attack.
Unfortunately, the earth-attribute chakra shield only lasted for a moment under the Chidori Flow's lightning before being broken and spreading to Sakura's body again.
There was a dull thud as Chidori hit Sakura's back, but Sakura didn't retreat a single step. She turned around and swung her left hook upwards, hitting Sasuke's right ribs hard. The punch broke through Chidori's block, but it didn't do its job. No tendons or bones were broken, but Sasuke was knocked back, and he spit out two mouthfuls of blood after falling to the ground.
Sakura was also hit by the Chidori Flow. Although the injury was not serious, the paralyzing effect of the lightning still made Sakura slow for a moment.
At the same time, the wound on the back began to wriggle and healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it weren't for Yin Yushangmie, Sakura wouldn't have used the earth attribute chakra transformation to overcome the restraint of Lightning Style over Earth Style, just to hit Sasuke with her heavy punch. Unfortunately, she underestimated the advantage of Lightning Style over Earth Style and failed to injure her opponent with one punch; at the same time, the paralysis effect of Lightning Style also gave her a headache, and her first attrition attack failed.
By the time Sasuke recovered and stood up, Sakura's injuries had almost healed. In the first collision, both sides were evenly matched.
After regrouping, the two began to fight again.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Sakura once again used a move that suited her. Three shadow clones appeared at her side, forming a triangle defense and surrounding her main body.
It's not that Sakura doesn't want to use more clones. Unlike Inuzuka Kiba, Uchiha Sasuke is not only faster, but also good at Lightning Release. This is too much of a suppression for her who is good at Earth Release. No matter how many shadow clones there are, they will just be targets that will be defeated one by one. They can't provide much help. It's better to form a small-scale rapid response formation to defend against Lightning Release attacks. Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Thousand Bones have been used when defeating Chojuro. This kind of lightning release with extremely fast speed and huge destructive power is too difficult to defend.
"Another shadow clone?"
Sasuke frowned, feeling that things were getting a little tricky.
Sasuke is definitely no stranger to Shadow Clone. He has been competing with Uzumaki Naruto for a long time and has struggled with this troublesome ninjutsu more than once. Compared with Naruto's crude use of this technique, Mizuki's understanding of this technique is far beyond the ignorant Naruto. Sakura, who was Mizuki's apprentice, naturally also learned a little bit of the essence. Not long ago, Inuzuka Kiba was defeated by this move.
However, Sasuke is not Inuzuka Kiba who is short of means, so it is not so easy for him to use the same old tricks again.
With his mind turning, Sasuke gathered chakra in his eye sockets, and the bright red Sharingan appeared again. With excellent dynamic vision, even with a few more pairs of eyes, they were no match for the Sharingan.
There was a sound of electric current flashing through his hands, and the chirping of birds echoed throughout the arena again.
"It appears again. This is the attack that even the future wielder of the Seven Ninja Swordsman Aoki can't resist!"
A large number of audiences began to cheer for Sasuke. This powerful ninjutsu with particularly obvious sound and light effects really attracted everyone's attention, and his popularity was well deserved.
Seeing Sakura standing ready, Sasuke started charging, lowering his body to reduce the area of attack, and widening his Sharingan, so that every move of the opponent could not escape Sasuke's eyes. Before Sakura could respond, Sasuke, who wanted to take the initiative, turned the Chidori in his right hand into dozens of silver needles and shot at Sakura's body and shadow clone.
Facing the flying Chidori Senbon, the four Sakura figures simultaneously raised their right fists forward and slammed the ground in front of them. Under the huge force, a row of thick earth spikes stretched out from the ground in front of Sakura, which not only blocked the Chidori Senbon, but also extended diagonally forward and stabbed towards Sasuke.
This method is based on the Earth Release - Earthquake Core, an attack method that uses chakra manipulation. Its power is much smaller than the original, but it is flexible to use and very suitable for Sakura's fighting style.
The magatama of the Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, and in a flash, Sasuke dodged the oncoming earth spikes, twisted his body, then stretched out his left hand, and the Chidori directly broke through the obstruction of the earth escape technique, and rushed forward without slowing down.
"Chidori's power has grown again!"
Faced with Sasuke who suddenly broke through the wall, Sakura still had the mood to sigh, but Sasuke's attack would not stop. In the intertwining, under the helpless "watching" of the shadow clone, with the chirping of a chidori, he rushed towards Sakura mercilessly.
Speed has never been Sakura's strong point. Facing Sasuke's fatal blow, Sakura stretched out her right hand, concentrated chakra in her palm, and collided head-on with the speeding Chidori.
With a loud bang, a violent explosion sounded, accompanied by a blinding light that obscured the figures of the two people.
"So strong, who won?"
"It should be Sasuke. With such a powerful attack, I wonder if that female ninja is dead!"
"I don't think so. After all, it's just a Chunin Exam. There's no need to risk your life, right?"
In the stands, the sound of whispering kept coming into his ears, making Kakashi Hatake's face grim.
"What a mess!"
The fight between Naruto and Sasuke had already caused her a lot of headaches. After Naruto left, things were quiet for a while, but she didn't expect Sakura to be a troublesome girl.
“It’s difficult!”
After a moment, the power of the shockwave reached its maximum, and the two figures flew back at the same time. The petite Haruno Sakura rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a halt in a panic. Sasuke was not much better, but he still had a little initiative in the attack. He slid back a few meters and then somersaulted a few times to stand up and be on guard, leaving the little Sakura shadow clone who was ready to chase him back in vain.
"Is that a Rasengan? It's really surprising!"
