Team 7, having completed their mission, arrived at the Training Grounds.
Kushina teased, "Right on time, Kakashi, worthy of praise."
Kakashi said helplessly, "How bad is my image in your eyes?"
"Hahaha, alright, enough small talk, let's have a practice match first!"
Kiba couldn't wait any longer. Hearing this, he jumped out impatiently, shouting, "Let's have a showdown, Naruto!"
Naruto couldn't help it. A hot-blooded idiot like Kiba wouldn't stop unless he beat him up badly.
"Okay, okay, let's fight then." Just like Bao Longxing said, everyone heard it, he told me to hit him, so I'm hitting him.
Kushina walked to the middle with great interest to host the match. The others stepped back to give them space.
"Then, the first match of the Team 7 and 8 friendly competition, Inuzuka Kiba versus Uzumaki Naruto, ready—begin!"
Kiba and Naruto formed the Seal of Confrontation.
Kiba didn't forget to talk tough, "Give it your all, Naruto, this time I'm going to cooperate with Akamaru and definitely defeat you!"
"Woof!" Akamaru wagged his tail, calling out in cooperation.
"Give it my all, are you sure?"
Kiba was full of confidence, "That's right, give it your all! I've become much stronger, don't underestimate me!"
Sasuke, hearing his words, looked at Kiba with pity in his eyes.
Naruto nodded, "Okay, all out it is then."
"Akamaru! Get ready to go!"
"Woof!"
Naruto thought for a second, what does my all-out look like again? Hmm, let's try 1000 Shadow Clones first.
Naruto shouted, "Ninja Art: Rush Hour Technique!"
So, just as Kiba and Akamaru struck an offensive pose, they saw—
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..." Countless Narutos appeared on the field, people pressed against people, so crowded that even the surrounding spectators were submerged in the sea of people.
"You stepped on my foot, idiot!"
"My arm is about to be broken by you, bastard!"
"Make way!"
...
The clones were noisy, pushing and shoving, and for a time the scene was as chaotic as a vegetable market, like a green-skinned train carriage during the Spring Festival travel season, or like a bus and subway during rush hour.
Looking around, the entire Training Grounds was full of little yellow-haired people. If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd entered a sunflower field.
Kiba was completely controlled by Clone No. 001 and several brothers. It was difficult to even breathe, let alone move. Naruko grabbed Akamaru by the scruff of his neck and passed him to Naruto through the clones.
Kushina, who was closest to the battlefield, had a tic-tac-toe mark pop out on her forehead. She was also surrounded by clones. In a fit of anger, the Adamantine Sealing Chains burst out and killed a large number of them.
Kushina raised a hand, exasperated, "Match over, Naruto wins. Quickly dispel those Shadow Clones for me!"
For some reason, Naruto automatically imagined, 'Great Sage, cease your magical powers!'
Naruto obediently dispelled the Shadow Clones. The over 900 clones that had attempted suicide disappeared, and the remaining Chakra fed back to him.
Having divided his Chakra into 1000 portions and feeling a bit drained, Naruto steadied himself.
Thousands of clones looked intimidating, but they didn't actually have much combat power. In the anime, Naruto could create fields of clones to fight Mizuki because he was using the Nine Tails' Chakra in a fit of rage.
But now, Naruto was using his own Chakra, so each clone received less than one unit of Chakra.
The problem was that Kiba and Akamaru, dog and master combined, barely had two or three tenths of a unit of Chakra.
No matter how much they mocked Kakashi for his low Chakra reserves, he was still a Jonin. Kiba was just one of the better Genin, and he really couldn't handle this kind of situation.
After the Shadow Clones disappeared, Kakashi looked up at the sky, "Was that really necessary?"
Sakura, looking blissful after being squeezed into Sasuke's arms, said weakly, "Sorry, Sasuke, I accidentally got pushed over here."
Inner Sakura waved her fist, "Nice one, Naruto!"
"It's nothing." Sasuke rubbed his chest, feeling a bit sore.
Hinata was blushing furiously, her fingers twisting together, her little head almost emitting white smoke. So, so many Naruto-kun, just now, we were so close...
As for Shino... what about Shino?
As for Kiba, the person involved, he was quite shaken, slumped on the ground as if he had lost his dream, "What is this?"
Thump!
Kushina punched Naruto on the head, "You went too far!"
"He told me to go all out... sorry."
Naruto apologized honestly, realizing he might have gone a bit overboard.
Kushina noticed that her student's mood was off and immediately came over to comfort him, "Actually, in this kind of situation, you just need to drag it out until his Chakra runs out. This tactic can't be used in actual combat."
Of course, what Kushina didn't say was that there were other methods, such as clearing the field with large-scale ninjutsu, or releasing the same number of Shadow Clones to overwhelm him head-on. And with Naruto's growth rate, this move might actually be useful in actual combat in the future.
Akamaru jumped out of Naruto's arms, whimpering and licking Kiba's hand, biting Kiba's sleeve to try and encourage him.
Kiba, being the hot-blooded youth he was, quickly recovered, "Naruto, I lost this time, but next time, next time for sure..."
Sasuke looked at him with pity again. Too naive. I thought the same way when I was four, and now I'm twelve...
Naruto and Kiba made the Seal of Reconciliation and left the field. Kushina called out:
"Next match, Hinata Hyuga versus Haruno Sakura!"
The two walked to the center of the field, made the Seal of Confrontation, and sized each other up.
Hinata didn't know much about Sakura, but she had always admired Sakura because Sakura was on a team with Naruto-kun, and she also admired Sakura because Sakura had enough courage to confess to the person she liked.
But even if I admire you... Hinata glanced at the edge of the field. Naruto-kun is watching this match, I absolutely have to win!
Sakura didn't know much about Hinata either, only that Hinata was a very timid and introverted girl. She had always thought Hinata was a good person—any girl who didn't compete with her for Sasuke was a good person.
But even if you're a good person... Sakura quietly glanced at the sidelines. Sasuke was watching this match, and she didn't want to lose face!
Hinata adopted a Gentle Fist stance, her eyes becoming firm.
Sakura secretly encouraged herself, feeling power surging up continuously.
Sakura took the lead, rushing towards Hinata, her small fist swinging forcefully, as if creating a sound of tearing through the air, and then... she was struck dumb.
What's going on?
Why?
What is this?
Are you really Hinata?
In Sakura's shocked gaze, Hinata's Byakugan opened, veins popping around her eyes, and she lightly sidestepped Sakura's fist.
Then, her hands moved like butterflies flitting through flowers, easily breaking through Sakura's defense, striking her body continuously, hitting her thirty-two times in an instant!
