Doss looked at the unremarkable Haruno Sakura in front of him. Apart from her pretty hair color, he really didn't understand why such a person could compete with him. She should have dueled with Uchiha Sasuke earlier.

I have seen the strength of Haruno Sakura in the Death Forest. In addition to her unexpected ability in barrier technique, she can barely show off her illusion technique, but what's the use in this situation? She is not at the same level as me. She has relied on excellent teammates and super luck to get to this point. In my opinion, this is the limit of Haruno Sakura.

"Let's finish this soon. I hope to meet Uchiha Sasuke soon and complete my mission soon."

As soon as Genma Shiranui gave the signal to swing his arm downward, Doss could not wait to move forward and strike out with his right arm, trying to knock down Haruno Sakura with one punch.

"You are too arrogant. You attacked recklessly without knowing the opponent's exact strength. You didn't even do a basic test. It seems you will suffer a loss."

Mizuki in the stands saw Doss attacking so brazenly and couldn't help but shake his head. As the captain of the Sound Trio, Doss had always been a good trait of being steady, and at least maintaining humility and politeness on the surface. But it was probably because of the recent changes that he was under too much pressure, and he actually made such a rash mistake. It seemed that Sakura had to take advantage of it.

Sure enough, in Doss's eyes, Sakura Haruno, who should have been hit successfully by him, actually dodged strangely.

"Missed? No, it was an illusion. When did you use it? Why was there no sign at all?" Doss instantly determined how Sakura would respond. In the Forest of Death, he also used illusions to make Sakur suffer.

"It seems that the little girl on the other side is not only good at using barrier techniques, but also excellent at illusion techniques. I underestimated her."

However, Doss did not seem to be worried. The sonic attack released by the armor on his right hand - the ringing piercing - was not a move that could be avoided.

Unfortunately, things were not as good as Doss had imagined. Three shurikens came at him at lightning speed, and Doss, surprised, quickly blocked them with his armor. But things were not over yet, as Haruno Sakura suddenly appeared strangely on the left back and approached quickly, with her right arm shaped like a knife, a layer of chakra attached to it, and stabbed straight into his heart.

"I can't dodge it. How could it be so fast?" Even though he was in a disadvantageous situation for a moment, Doss still avoided the fatal attack. Relying on his years of rich combat experience and the intuition generated by life and death, he desperately twisted his body, but Sakura's chakra scalpel still cut a big hole in the back of his shoulder and left upper arm, and the blood could not stop flowing out.

The experienced Doss did not retreat, but turned half-way and swung out with his right hand again, sweeping across Haruno Sakura's chest and abdomen.

"This time it's not an illusion, it's the real thing, let's see how you can dodge it?"

Even though he had to endure the severe pain of being injured, he never let go of the rare opportunity to defeat the enemy with a single blow. Doss's strength was truly amazing among Genin, and he was worthy of being a leader who stood out in the fighting in the Sound Village.

However, Haruno Sakura jumped lightly and barely dodged Doss's right fist. Then she quickly retreated to create some distance.

Doss did not pursue him, but quickly retreated, using the strength of his right hand and teeth to quickly bandage his wounds.

"How is that possible? My Hibiki Piercing really didn't have any effect~"

If the first time he fell into the illusion without knowing it due to his arrogance and might have made a wrong judgment, this time he felt that it was Sakura Haruno's real body who was attacked by his sonic waves at close range but was safe and sound. This subversive fact was really surprising.

Many of the audience may have been confused. First, Dos punched the air for no apparent reason, then was injured by Haruno Sakura, then punched again, but still missed, and then had a look of surprise on his face. People who don't know Dos's attack method may not understand it.

Only some knowledgeable ninjas understood the mystery of the duel between the two.

First, Haruno Sakura took the opportunity when Genma Shiranui waved his hand to signal the start to salute, but in fact she used an illusion silently. Then she took advantage of Doss's arrogant attack to injure his opponent, and then used inexplicable methods to defend against the pervasive strange sound wave attack twice.

"Hey, Sakura's game is starting so soon?" Suddenly, the loud-voiced Naruto appeared next to Mizuki.

"Why did you come just now? Not many people were cheering for Sakura just now. Your teammates and teachers were not here. It seems that your team's team spirit is a problem."

"As long as the cocky Sasuke doesn't always try to show off and seduce Sakura, there won't be any problems with our Team 7." Naruto said, "Just now, the medical ninja in the back wasted some time treating my injuries. But it seems that Sakura fought well. The bandaged man over there is very powerful. He knocked out the powerful Choji in one go, and Sakura was still able to gain the upper hand. How did she do it?"

"Hey, cheer for Sakura. If Sakura wins, I'll fight you in the next round, okay?"

"Eh, it seems to be true." Naruto had only Sasuke and his opponent Hyuga Neji in his eyes all this time. He didn't expect that he would have to fight with Sakura next. It was really beyond his imagination.

However, the audience was a bit dull. The fighting styles and ninjutsu of both were calm. There was no dazzling and eye-catching battle. Only after Doss was bleeding did the show gain some popularity.

Even though he had a bad start and even suffered serious injuries, it was not yet to the point where his combat effectiveness was affected. After several rounds of fighting, Doss finally realized that his greatest trump card, the sonic attack - Xiangming Piercing was indeed ineffective against Haruno Sakura.

It's not that it's completely ineffective, but it's been offset by a large part of its power, and it can no longer produce the immediate effect it did before. If the attack speed and frequency are fast enough, it can also hurt the opponent, and the shallow bloody wounds on Sakura's arms are proof of this.

However, watching Haruno Sakura use medical ninjutsu to relieve and heal some injuries that might affect the battle, Duo suddenly felt a headache. The wounds on his left shoulder and arm showed signs of cracking again. If this continued, ordinary bandages would be useless. He did not have the convenient medical ninjutsu like the opponent. If this continued, the situation would not be good~

"Are we really just dispensable pawns and wastes as we have guessed? We have not even met Uchiha Sasuke yet, and we are already lying here without knowing why? Even though we have long understood our position, we are still unwilling to accept it."

"We can't just keep wasting time like this. Let the Otonin who survived the endless fighting teach you Konoha ninjas who grew up playing ninja games to experience the horror of the evil spirits that crawled out of hell."
