Sasuke expected that the Thunder Tiger Killing Technique didn't have a good effect, after all, it was only a C-level ninjutsu. However, Sasuke only used it as a bait to attract attention.

After the Thunder Dog was defeated, Sasuke's shadow clone followed closely and rushed forward, swung the sword in his right hand and chopped it off on the head, with the momentum of killing it with one blow.

At the critical moment, Sakura stretched out her left hand, and the light blue chakra ball appeared in her palm again. The Rasengan quickly took shape and then pressed towards the wind shuriken that was shining with lightning.

The crackling sound was like glass scratching across the ground, spreading in all directions. The harsh noise made people extremely uncomfortable.

After a moment, a crisp crackling sound was heard, and the Fuma Shuriken broke into several pieces after colliding with the Rasengan. The fragments flew far away and fell to the ground one after another.

Sasuke's shadow clone looked at the hilt of the knife in his right hand with surprise, and was defenselessly pressed against the chest by the Rasengan.

"It seems that Kakashi will have to think carefully about how to equip Sasuke with a good sword."

Mizuki chuckled. Uchiha Sasuke, who had not surrendered to Orochimaru, naturally could not get the Kusanagi sword. Each divine weapon was extremely rare and it was very difficult to get it. The Chidori Blade was indeed good, but it was a ninja tool made of ordinary materials such as the Fuma Shuriken as a medium for its use. In the collision with the Rasengan, it still could not withstand the huge impact.

Although the sword was broken, the game was far from over. Sasuke's shadow clone, hit by the Rasengan, turned into a ball of exploding lightning, which quickly spread around and enveloped Sakura's body.

"A special shadow clone that incorporates the changes in the nature of lightning chakra?"

The sudden attack caught Sakura off guard, and although the damage from the lightning wasn't too great, the paralyzing effect on the body was extremely troublesome.

Sasuke, who had carefully planned his offensive tactics, would not miss this good opportunity. He increased his speed to the limit and in a blink of an eye he came in front of Sakura through the previous flaw. The tip of the knife pierced Sakura's left shoulder which was unable to defend. His left hand waved the Chidori Style to guard against the interference of Sakura's shadow clone.

The outcome of a battle depended on a single thought. Just as Sakura was about to be hit, Sasuke, who was advancing with great force, suddenly stopped.

Sakura's original body and her three shadow clones exerted their greatest strength, filling this small space with chakra. The heavy aura from the change in the nature of the earth-attributed chakra made the air here so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

In this sticky chakra, Sasuke felt as if his body was completely swallowed up by the mud of a swamp and he could not move at all.

The Fuma Shuriken in Sasuke's right hand had fallen to the ground, and the Chidori-ryu in his left hand had involuntarily stopped. The sudden change made Sasuke, who felt that victory was in sight, a little dazed.

Sakura, who had been preparing for a long time, would not miss this good opportunity. Four heavy punches landed on Sasuke's chest, waist, back, and even his handsome face.

Sasuke, who had no Yin Healing and Damage Reduction Technique, was beaten black and blue by this round of heavy blows, but at least he still retained a trace of clarity. He risked his life to mobilize the chakra in his body and the Chidori Style burst out violently.

Sasuke's last desperate move demonstrated the power of Lightning Release to the fullest. The raging electric arc tore through the earth attribute chakra blockade of the surroundings. Not only that, the indiscriminately spreading Lightning Release also shattered Sakura's shadow clone that attacked at close range. The original body was also paralyzed by the lightning, and its movements slowed down a step, failing to pursue in time.

Sasuke seized the tiny loophole in time, broke free from the restraints, and escaped from the cage carefully set up by Sakura at the fastest speed.

"Luckily, I'm proficient in lightning escape techniques. If it was escape techniques of other attributes, I'd be doomed."

Without the obstruction of Chidori Style, the random punches from Earth Style - Earth Spear would be enough to take his life, and he would have to rely on Lightning Style to break through the blockade of earth attribute chakra.

Unfortunately, Sasuke, who felt like his whole body was falling apart, didn't have time to rejoice for too long before Sakura launched her next round of attack.

Cherry blossoms were flying in front of my eyes, petals kept falling on me, the surrounding scenery became blurred, and the dreamlike scene came from far away and appeared in front of me...

Not far away, Sakura, who had narrowly escaped Sasuke's fatal attack, did not give up. She began to activate the illusion - Sleeping Scene, and it fell on Sasuke when he was still in shock and had no time to pay attention to other things.

"Did I win?" Seeing Sasuke fall to the ground, Sakura felt anxious. Chasing the object of admiration and adoration, once she really defeated him, the feeling would be indescribable.

Yamashiro Aoba on the side was also very surprised by this result. Although he knew that Haruno Sakura was very strong, as a disciple of Mizuki, she must not be too bad, but he did not expect that she would be so strong.

Just when he was about to announce the result, he suddenly frowned and looked at Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, with some surprise, and suddenly moved.

"Is this the curse seal?"

The sudden change made Yamashiro Aoba very nervous. As someone who had dealt with Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi a lot, he didn't know much about the curse seal, but he knew a little bit about it. At least it was confirmed that the curse seal on Sasuke was exactly the same as the one on Mitarashi Anko, and both were related to Orochimaru.

The spectators on the sidelines were also stunned by the unexpected result. They didn't expect that the aggressive Sasuke would just fall to the ground and faint. Cursing sounds began to be heard one after another. It should be the gamblers who lost money complaining. Yamashiro Aoba, who was dragging his feet and not announcing the result, also became the target of anger.

Aoba Yamashiro looked at Kakashi Hatake and Mizuki helplessly. Kakashi seemed a little hesitant and didn't express his opinion. Mizuki shook his head simply, indicating that it was okay.

Yamashiro Aoba, who was unsure, wanted to ask Tsunade for instructions, but at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke, with a strange purple-black chakra emanating from his body, slowly stood up. The curse seal on the left side of his neck had spread, and black cloud patterns appeared on most parts of his body, which looked very strange.

When Sasuke opened his eyes, he clearly saw that the Sharingan, which originally had only two magatama, had now become three magatama.

"The game continues!"

Yamashiro Aoba finally made a decision. If he interrupted it forcibly at this time, it would be impossible to explain. He could only wait and see what happened next.

In the stands, when Mizuki saw Sakura using the Sleeping Technique against Sasuke, he had a bad feeling, and unexpectedly an accident really happened.

"Although I knew that teaching this dangerous technique to Sakura would cause trouble sooner or later, I didn't expect it to come true so soon."
