The rest of the game progressed in a subtle way.

"Everyone, since the next player has not arrived yet, this match will be postponed for the time being and the next match will be held first!" Xuanjian announced the temporary change in the schedule.

The original second match was a battle between Luo Yi and Sasuke, with the winner then fighting Gaara. If both are skipped, the next match would be the battle between Shino and Kankuro.

"I give up." In order to keep the secret of puppetry, Kankuro gave up directly.

And as the examiner found a dictionary with signatures and personal identification in Tos's room, his examination qualification was revoked in accordance with the regulations.

So, next up is [Nara Shikamaru VS Temari].

"Oh, isn't this a battle that determines the future status of the family?" Luo Yi was still quite interested.

"Hmm?" Hua Huo turned to look at him.

It turns out that family status is determined by fighting...

Temari's vigorous wind-style ninjutsu is very visual, while Shikamaru's sneaky shadow imitation technique is surprisingly effective.

Although it was Shikamaru who surrendered in the end, but...

He lost the game but won his life. And judging from the result, he became the only Chunin who succeeded in the Chunin Exam.

"That was the last match of the first round. If Uchiha Sasuke didn't show up..."

"Don't worry, he's already here."

Before he finished speaking, an astonishing whirlwind of leaves swept up in the center of the arena, and two figures appeared in it. They were Sasuke and Kakashi, who were standing back to back.

Everyone: "..."

These two people are so pretentious.

Luo Yi: “…”

Was it because I was late collecting leaves for decoration?

"Sorry, we're late." There was no apology in Kakashi's smug smile, and he put his hands in his pockets, looking extremely arrogant.

"Tell me your name." Xuanjian cooperated highly.

"Uchiha...Sasuke." Sasuke paused very deliberately in his answer.

Luo Yi clenched his fists.

...

[Uchiha Sasuke VS Luo Yi]

This may be the most anticipated game in the first round and the one that most supports temporary schedule adjustments.

"Oh! Is that the kid from the Uchiha clan? The Uchiha competition is finally about to begin!" Many spectators came here for the name of this family, and the competition was already very lively before it officially started.

“Who is his opponent? He looks younger, so he can’t be that weak and useless, right?” There were many outsiders among the audience who knew nothing about the other contestants.

"I know, I know. He's the second son-in-law of the Hyuga family and the only contestant whose age is still in the single digits." Of course, there are more Konoha villagers who are familiar with the city news.

"So this match is an official confrontation between the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan? This is the most worth watching match!" Smart audiences defined this match in advance.

Come to think of it, my father-in-law often says that "the Hyuga clan is the strongest family in Konoha."

While this is true, does this count as the loss of the Hyuga family who lost their strongest rival after the fall of the Uchiha?

"They said that you can fight against me on behalf of Hinata, Luo Yi." Sasuke's tone had nothing to do with the word friendly. He was probably stimulated by the audience.

An orphan of a family that exists in name only, and a son-in-law who marries into a prosperous family.

"I'm afraid not. I can only fight you on my own behalf." Luo Yi frowned, "Calm down and treat it as an ordinary training."

What did Kakashi teach?

"Hmph! You're so lucky. The people I most want to play against in three consecutive games are all those I want to play against." Sasuke took his advice as a provocation and didn't buy it at all.

"Then your luck ends here." Luo Yi shook his head, unwilling to tolerate his increasingly bad temper.

Preaching is useless; broken bones make better textbooks.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk after the game. Now... the game begins!" Xuanjian abruptly stopped their conversation and announced the start.

I don't know why the two of them suddenly started quarreling. Let's not talk about Sasuke first, Luo Yi seems to be easy to talk to, and weren't they classmates in the past?

Forget it, let’s watch the game first.

Sasuke took the first move, the standard Uchiha fighting start.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique"

A huge fireball with heat waves is coming towards us. It is more than three meters in diameter. It is a good choice whether for a frontal attack or a cover raid.

"Good Fireball" is good in every way except that it never hurts anyone.

It's the same this time.

Luo Yi's feet remained motionless, he just raised his left hand to block his chest, until the fireball was less than an arm's length away...

"Snapped--"

With one palm, the fierce fireball was dispersed, leaving only a few sparks, which finally disappeared completely.

Sasuke's surprised expression, which was originally blocked by the fireball, was revealed.

He thought that this move would not pose any threat to Luo Yi. Perhaps he could dodge it from the left, top or right, or he could use the Earth Flow Wall to block it. Sasuke was ready for the next attack based on this premise.

As a result, the opponent destroyed the fireball with just one palm, disrupting his own rhythm.

"Didn't teacher Kakashi tell you that ninjutsu is useless to me." Luo Yi grabbed the air with his left hand and collected a lot of wild fire chakra.

"Really... Then try this again!" Sasuke formed hand seals on the spot.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique"

If one big fireball doesn't work, then use several small fireballs instead. However, the suspicious sound of metal breaking through the air is really hard to be fooled.

"Ding——"*8

He didn't move his feet, but simply drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist and easily blocked the small fireballs and the shurikens inside the fireballs.

Luo Yi sheathed his sword and winked at the "Fourth Kazekage" in the stands with gratitude.

「Wind Shadow」: “…”

Was it an illusion? Did he just wink at me?

It must be an illusion. If anyone wants to throw it, it should be thrown to the Third Hokage next door. After all, they can barely be called master and apprentice.

Sasuke looked grim. It was obvious that Luo Yi had no intention of taking the initiative. He was just responding to Sasuke's moves as if he was "instructing" him.

Since I'm not attacking proactively, he has plenty of time to prepare. Should I just use that move on him?

——"Chidori"

At the current stage, Sasuke can only use Chidori twice a day. He originally wanted to save it for Gaara and Naruto, but now it seems that it might not be a bad idea to use it on Luo Yi.

But before that…

Sasuke appeared in front of him at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, crouched down, and kicked him hard from bottom to top.

Let me try out the physical skills I "copied" from Xiao Li on you first!

"boom--"

Sasuke was delighted when the kick hit the target, but the joy only lasted for a quarter of a second.

Luo Yi was not kicked away, and his foot felt wrong. It clearly hit his arm that was in a blocking position, but it felt like kicking on the water.

Sasuke took two steps back, pondering a phenomenon beyond his comprehension.

"The speed and strength are good. I was prepared but I still couldn't unleash all the force." Luo Yi was checking his arm and felt it was easier than the headbutt from the little girl.

"What... did you do?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, right, you were not present when I was doing the preliminaries." Luo Yi recalled, "Since you learned hard fist in taijutsu, I will compete with you with the real "soft fist".

"It's been a while since I quoted a phrase from my hometown. It's called 'using softness to overcome hardness'."

...

No one in the audience knew where a live-in son-in-law got the courage to call himself the "real gentle fist", and he was so shameless in front of bigwigs such as the head of the Hyuga clan and the Third Hokage.

Are all the sons-in-law so crazy these days?

Another person with a passionate look in his eyes was Rizu. He didn't care about Luo Yi's rude words at all. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized to his daughter beside him, "Watch out for Hua Huo. Luo Yi might really be right."

For a long time, "soft fist" seemed to be just the opposite of hard fist. The offensive and defensive methods relied more on chakra rather than physical strength. In Luo Yi's view, it was just tangible but not intentional.

The intention is like a fluttering flag, the energy is like moving clouds, hardness and softness complement each other, and the odd and the even are born from each other.

Sasuke's punches and kicks are extremely powerful, and are no less powerful than Rock Lee's before.

However, this feeling of being unable to use one's strength and having no results not only makes the body tired, but also makes the mood more anxious.

Move like a swimming dragon, swift as the wind, avoid the real and attack the fake, and do it with your mind.

Luo Yi's techniques and footwork seemed to be far less fast than Sasuke's, but he was able to receive every blow promptly and accurately, which made people wonder whether they were just faking it.

Until Sasuke chopped him in the face with a palm.

"It's broken." Luo Yi's fighting instinct instantly overcame the soft boxing performance. He grabbed his wrist and turned around to throw him over his shoulder, with the scene connected seamlessly.

"Ahem... that last move wasn't a soft fist." Rizu kindly reminded.

"I see." Hanabi had experienced this herself many times.
