Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

"The venue has been repaired, please return to the competition venue as soon as possible!"

This voice spread to every corner of Konoha Village through the broadcasting system, calling on the scattered contestants to regroup.

"Oh? Finally we can continue."

"Let's go, Naruto." A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Shinomiya Yutsuki's eyes. He suddenly jumped up from his seat and waved to the blond boy beside him impatiently.

Naruto stood up with a bright smile on his face, "Uncle Handbeater, Sister Ayame, we'll take our leave now."

"Come on, Naruto, I hope you can get the ideal results." The gentle voice of the hand-beating uncle sounded, encouraging people like the warm sun in winter.

………………

When the two stepped into the duel arena again, the ground that was originally broken by the battle had been completely renewed, and there was no trace left over from the previous round of competition.

"Hey, Sasuke, you seem to be adapting pretty quickly."

An unexpected figure came into view in the viewing area.

Uchiha Sasuke was sitting there quietly, with Haruno Sakura and Xiangling beside him, smiling sweetly. There was a warm and harmonious atmosphere between the three of them.

"It's all thanks to you."

Sasuke responded to the other party's slightly provocative words with a contemptuous look.

"Ah, this was going to happen sooner or later anyway, I just gave it a little push."

As he spoke, Shigong Youyue showed a sly smile, "After all, you should be grateful."

"Grateful?" Sasuke raised his middle finger. "When the final comes, Naruto and I will repay this 'favor'."

Facing such a response, Youyue just smiled faintly, "Then let's wait and see."

He turned to Naruto and said, "It's time for you to show your strength, but remember to be careful when you strike."

With Naruto's current strength, it would be funny if he could kill Dodou Mu with just one slap.

Naruto clenched his fists and nodded, "I will."

"GO!"

Uzumaki Naruto walked towards the center of the venue.

As his back disappeared, Shigong Youyue found a random seat and sat down.

Then, like Doraemon, he took out a silent camera from his pocket and started taking pictures of Sasuke and the other two getting along harmoniously.

This made Uchiha Sasuke feel a little awkward.

He suddenly turned his head and stared at the latter, lowering his voice and questioning:

"What are you doing?"

Hearing this, Youyue put away her camera and met the suspicious gaze, with a relaxed and happy smile on her face:

"No, I just took a few commemorative photos as a souvenir."

"Is it really that simple? I always feel like you have other ideas."

Although he expressed disbelief, his eyes still revealed a bit of vigilance.

"Is this the only thing I can do in your mind?" Shigong Youyue complained, covering his chest.

Sasuke's mouth twitched, "No need for questions, that's just who you are."

"Fuck, you figured it out."

As the two were arguing, Sakura beside them quietly pulled the edge of her black coat and reminded them softly:

"Sasuke, the next match is about to begin."

Hearing this, Sasuke retracted his attention and prepared to concentrate on the upcoming battle.

Before leaving, he added: "Don't forget to print a set of these photos for me when the time comes."

"It's covered."

After receiving the promise, his eyes turned to the place below where a fierce battle was about to take place.

The two contestants are standing at their respective starting positions, ready to go.

The mutual exchange of polite opposing seals indicated that the next few minutes would be a clash and test of each other's skills.

"I heard that you are a friend of Boss Youyue?"

With a hint of interest and tentativeness, Tutang Wu was the first to break the silence, with a hint of respect revealed in his tone.

"Ah... do you know him too?" Naruto's expression suddenly became much more lively, as if he had found a breakthrough in the topic.

"Maybe he can be considered a younger brother."

"For his sake, I promise not to be too rough." Tutang Wu's words were calm but full of confidence.

"Okay... I'll try to be gentle."

After the slightly awkward answer, the brief exchange ended before the referee Moonlight Gale appeared and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Are you all ready? So—"

As these words fell, the air seemed to freeze in an instant, and then only a whistling sound was heard past my ears.

"The game starts now!"

"Earth Escape: Earth and Stone Palm!"

Tutang Wu made a move instantly!

He suddenly thrust his palm into the ground, and the dirt and gravel on the surface were forcibly pulled out and quickly gathered in his hand, condensing into a huge petrified palm.

With a fierce kick of his legs, Dodou Mu's body was as fast as an arrow, and he slammed towards Naruto with a huge palm of earth and stone!

At the critical moment, Naruto leaped lightly, his nimble figure turned and bounced twice in the air, and in a flash he had crossed the entire duel arena and landed steadily at the other end.

boom……

The giant palm of earth and stone that missed its target could only smash into the ground angrily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"The body-flash technique is so fast."

Tutang Wu looked back in surprise, secretly amazed in his heart.

It was truly extraordinary that the opponent was able to escape such a long distance in the instant before his move hit him.

"Try my trick again!"

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised,

Not willing to be outdone, Tutang launched another offensive.

I thought the opponent was just an ordinary character. It seems that I have to take it seriously. This is how the battle becomes interesting.

"Earth Escape: Earth and Stone Shoots!"

He put his palms together, then brought them down heavily, pointing directly at the ground in front of him, which seemed calm but was actually turbulent.

Almost in the next second, countless extremely sharp spikes seemed to be released, breaking out of the ground one after another, and scattered towards Uzumaki Naruto.

"There's no way you can avoid it this time, right?"

The words came out of his mouth with full confidence. This was a superb skill taught by Lord Kurotsuchi himself, and the speed was so fast that it was hard to defend against.

however……

It was still the same familiar series of actions: jump, leap, and rush.

When his vision became clear again, all the spikes that tried to restrain him were empty.

"How can it be?!"

A shocked expression appeared on his face, and Tudou was stunned for a moment as if he couldn't believe it.

Then he slowly turned to face Naruto who was standing easily in the distance.

"How on earth did you do that?" His tone was full of doubt and disbelief.

I only saw a flash of golden light passing through my sight, and then the opponent disappeared without a trace.

"What skills do you have hidden? Show them all to me."

With a playful smile on his face, Naruto gently waved at the person in front of him, his attitude calm and unhurried.

"Well, I do have a trick up my sleeve."

His expression became extremely solemn, and Tutang Wushi didn't want to continue this fruitless entanglement.

After taking a deep breath, he completed a series of complex seals quickly and accurately.
