Chapter 501 Where the soul is (end)

"How about it, Mr. Kakashi, I won the competition, isn't it great?"

Naruto, who walked back to the observation deck along the stairs, grinned at Kakashi as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although the clothes on his body were stained with blood, judging from the amount of bleeding, it was not a minor injury, but it gave the impression that he had never been injured.

"Indeed, I didn't expect you to win this game smoothly, which really impressed me."

Kakashi nodded and admitted that he underestimated Naruto before.

Speaking of this, Kakashi continued to ask: "Speaking of which, the last move you defeated Gaara was the spiral pill. I remember you said that it seemed that it was an unfinished move."

Hearing Kakashi's question, Naruto also understood, and replied: "You said that, didn't Sakura say that my chakra control skills are poor? If you want to further balance your own chakra, you must use the same source as your own 'external force'."

In the past few days, Naruto has exhausted all kinds of methods, but he has not succeeded in cultivating the spiral pill, because the chakra stability required by the spiral pill is too demanding.

Worthy of it is an level difficult ninjutsu practice, even if it does not contain any changes in nature, it is not easy to practice successfully if you want to practice it.

"So you thought of using a shadow clone to help yourself balance?"

Kakashi pondered slightly.

Because the shadow clone technique is not a move he is good at, the shadow clone technique he has used in these years of fighting is not as many as the shadow clone technique that Naruto usually uses in training.

In theory, his Shadow Clone technique is better than Naruto's. But in terms of actual combat, Kakashi feels that in this world, few people can surpass Naruto in the use of shadow clones.

After all, Kakashi knows that Naruto is the only ninja who doesn't care about the consumption of Chakra, but insists on applying the shadow clone used for exploring information to frontal battles like Naruto.

Therefore, Naruto used the assistance of the shadow clone to complete the difficult level ninjutsu of the spiral pill, which is both unexpected and reasonable.

"Yeah, although the method is a bit stupid, but I finally managed to use the spiral pill. Otherwise, I really don't know how to win this game. That Gaara guy is really too strong. If you don't disturb his chakra, it is difficult for ordinary ninjutsu to cause damage to him."

Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment, and talked about his own difficulties at that time.

Kakashi nodded, not thinking Naruto was lying.

The destructive power of the spiral pill is very dangerous. If it is directly hit, it will cause more terrible internal trauma than the soft fist, and the human body's system for maintaining chakra will be completely disrupted. Gaara was defeated because of this, disrupting the chakra system in the body.

For most ninjas, once the chakra in the body is disturbed, it means losing the ability to resist.

Fortunately, Gaara's Tailed Beast is not deep enough. If the whole body is covered by the power of the Tailed Beast, the power of Naruto's Helix Pill will be greatly reduced.

But in that case, Gaara will also lose his mind and be forced to interrupt the game.

In general, there are many reasons for Naruto's victory, but it is undeniable that Naruto has grown in this game.

Sure enough, I still care about the extremely stable Tailed Beast Chakra on Naruto, which is completely different from the usual situation. Kakashi sighed inwardly.

But also know that now is not the time to ask about such things.

Moreover, he believed that Shiraishi would be more aware of this change in Naruto than himself. From the very beginning, this match was deliberately arranged in such a way that two Jinchurikis would fight each other and watch the certain possibilities that Jinchuriki could produce.

If I tried to test it myself, it would be superfluous.

"Next, let Sakura heal you, and then wait for the next round of competition."

Kakashi asked Sakura to treat Naruto's injury, and then began to pay attention to the new round of competition on the field below.

Sasuke confronts Hibiki Kirie, a ninja from the kingdom of ghosts.

Although judging from the strength of the two, if both of them are at their peak, it will be a thrilling quality match.

But Kakashi looked at Sasuke, who was covered in injuries and standing on the stage, panting lightly, and frowned.

At this point of time, Sasuke has not recovered much at all. It is undoubtedly a very unwise choice to deal with a super strong ninja who is almost full in this state.

"Sasuke...Is he okay?"

Naruto received Sakura's treatment, and then while watching Sasuke's game, saw Sasuke's state at this time, and asked with some concern.

"I've already said it, but Sasuke insists on having a match, and I can't help it."

Sakura also said worriedly at the side.

With the protection of the rules of the game, she doesn't worry much about Sasuke's life, but she is afraid that if something happens on the field, she will regret it later.

"However, having said that, Naruto, are you really injured?"

Sakura turned her attention to Naruto, rolled up Naruto's sleeves, poked lightly on Naruto's arm with her slender fingers, and looked suspicious.

"Of course I was injured, look at the blood on the clothes!"

Naruto pointed to the blood on his clothes and said.

"Yeah?"

Sakura's expression became even weirder.

She knew that Naruto's brain was weak, but she probably wouldn't joke with her in this kind of place.

However, she checked carefully several times, but did not detect any serious injuries, at most some skin trauma, which can be recovered quickly with low-level healing techniques.

However, based on the amount of bleeding on Naruto's arm, it is impossible for it to be just a skin trauma, and the lightest is the degree of disability of the entire arm.

The result cannot be seen.

According to Sakura's examination, this arm is in a very healthy state, and the chakra meridian is also quite intact, without any blockage, so it doesn't look like a serious injury.

This is the first time Sakura has seen this situation, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, Kakashi's words rang in his ears: "It's enough to deal with the skin trauma, and Naruto's other injuries should be fine."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Sakura turned to look at Kakashi, surprised.

"Naruto's body has a strong self-recovery power, don't mind."

Kakashi's explanation made Sakura feel puzzled.

If Naruto really has this kind of recovery ability, then this kind of recovery ability is too terrible.

In an instant, Sakura looked into Naruto's eyes, and there was a faint green light, which was very penetrating.

"Well, what's wrong with you, Sakura? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing that Sakura's eyes suddenly became strange, Naruto didn't know why, and his body tensed up, feeling ominous.

"Uh... nothing, I just think Naruto you have a good physique. If you don't mind, can I draw some blood later? I think your blood will be very useful for my medical work."

If Naruto's physique is really as Kakashi said, then Sakura feels that even blood will be of great benefit to her medical research work.

Well, this is for Konoha's future considerations.

"No problem, for Sakura, you can smoke as much as you want!"

Naruto showed his strong arms and laughed.

At this moment, the competition below has officially started.

The moment Shinobi Onijima, the chief examiner, announced the start, Sasuke acted preemptively, making mudras with his hands, his cheeks puffed up greatly, and released the chakra accumulated in his mouth in one breath.

"Art fire escape **** fireball!"

In the fog branch opposite him, he saw that the fireball continued to emit intense high temperature, and the surrounding air also had obvious bending marks under this high temperature.

Compared to Tokidori, Sasuke is a ninja who is very proficient in both lightning and fire escapism.

Although he didn't learn the high-level ninjutsu of Fire Dungeon, the conventional Fire Dunjutsu has surpassed the power of Sasuke's Lightning Dunjutsu.

Facing such a dazzling and intense fireball, it was naturally impossible for Wuzhi to resist with his own body.

Take off the bamboo tube hanging on the side of the waist, and while stepping backwards, pull out the plug of the bamboo tube, and shake it hard.

The torrent flashed and flew out of the bamboo tube, turning into an indestructible sharp blade, cutting the fireball in half from the middle.

Then, a large number of shurikens flew from a distance, and the sharp blades turned into torrents turned back with a sense of defense. After touching the shurikens, they made a metal-to-metal collision sound, and shot down all the shurikens flying towards Kirie.

When the water blade was moving, Kirie's body also moved along with it, rushing towards Sasuke.

Kirie's seemingly slender and weak body was like a whirlwind when he ran, his jet-black hair fluttered in the process of running, almost in the blink of an eye, he shortened the distance between him and Sasuke, and punched hard.

Sasuke crossed his hands to protect his face, and endured Kirie's punch.

boom!

Sasuke stepped back, his chest was tight, and his face was pale, it seemed that he was very reluctant to block Kirie's punch.

This woman is really strong! Although he had expected it, but after taking Kirie's blow, Sasuke realized what kind of terrifying explosive power was hidden in the petite body of this seemingly weak girl in shrine maiden clothes.

"I will not show mercy to you just because you are injured!"

The voice came from behind, Sasuke was startled, and immediately turned around, only to see that Wuzhi turned his fist into a palm at this time, and the moment Sasuke turned around, the palm hit directly on Sasuke's chin.

Sasuke's head buzzed and trembled, and in an instant, his consciousness fell into a blank.

Sasuke's body was powerless and flew out, rolled to the ground, and barely stopped after rolling for more than ten meters.

Standing up with his hands supporting his body, Sasuke coughed violently, and the tired look on his face was obvious.

"In this case, we can only fight."

Sasuke was not willing to fall down in such a place, and a flash of determination flashed in his opened Sharingan.

The black tattoo began to center on Sasuke's neck and spread toward the body.

Although it is too reluctant to use the curse seal in the current physical state, if you want to win, this is the only way.

"Well"

Suddenly, a hot tingling sensation came from the neck, causing Sasuke to close his eyes subconsciously, breathing disorderly.

When he opened his eyes, the cold skin on his face woke him up instantly, and he saw that Wuzhi had come to him and covered his face with his palm.

Before Sasuke had time to think about it, his body was directly out of balance, and with his head on the ground, he was pressed down forcefully by Kirie.

Boom!

The head hit the ground fiercely, and the entire floor bulged upwards.

Sasuke vomited blood from his mouth suddenly, the muscles of his face twisted together in pain, and the black tattoos retracted into the curse marks on his neck like a tide.

Weakness, despair and other emotions flooded Sasuke's heart, and then the whole person lost consciousness, his legs and feet twitched twice, and fell to the ground motionless.

The battle ended sooner than anyone imagined.

But this is a layman's opinion. In the eyes of discerning ninjas, even an elite who inherited the Uchiha clan, it is impossible to rely on a seriously injured body to deal with a strong ninja who is almost in full condition.

Sasuke was defeated so quickly, completely within their expectations.

Seeing Sasuke fainted on the ground, Kirie slowly stood up from Sasuke, and glanced at Shinobu Onijima, the meaning was self-evident, hoping to announce the result of the game soon.

"The Winner Rings the Mist Branch."

Onijima Shinobu is also very straightforward. Originally, in his eyes, this game is just a process. The situation is completely one-sided, and there will be no miracles or accidents.

The medical ninjas outside the barrier carried the injured Sasuke onto a stretcher as usual and sent him to the infirmary for treatment.

"Sure enough, it was a battle without suspense. Everyone told him not to force himself. He is really a stubborn guy..."

Kakashi shook his head helplessly.

If Sasuke had abstained from the beginning, there would be no need to suffer this kind of flesh and blood. However, the self-esteem of the opponent does not allow him to lose without a fight.

To some extent, Sasuke's character is very similar to Naruto's, and he didn't admit his failure at all until the end.

Naruto's eyes showed disappointment, Sasuke was eliminated here, then, the agreement with Sasuke in this final duel was scrapped, which made him feel a pity.

"The ninjas of the Oni Land are too strong. Among the remaining players, except for Naruto and Kirigakure, the rest are all the ninjas of the Oni Land."

Hong said with a solemn expression.

As jounin, they naturally have to consider more things.

In this final, the ninja of the Kingdom of Ghosts can be said to have stole the limelight.

Not surprisingly, the champion of the final will also belong to the kingdom of ghosts, while the ninjas of the other forces are equivalent to the green leaves that set off the opponent and belong to the foil.

Considering that the Kingdom of Oni has been very aggressive in recent years, it would not be a good thing for Konoha to successfully defeat the ninjas of other ninja villages in the joint Chunin exam.

"There is no way to do this. It can only be said that our training on ninja is still a little insufficient."

Asma smoked a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring and said.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that most of the ninjas who participated in the finals have the strength to surpass the ninja.

As for the level of the ninja, it is hard to say, but even if the ninja goes off in person, he must be 100% vigilant in the face of several monsters.

"Next, let's see which side won the victory."

Hong nodded, looking at Cai and Junmalu who were walking from the stairs on both sides to the competition field, their eyes were slightly concentrated.

Intuition told her that the auras of these two lower ninjas were completely different from the rest of the lower ninjas, and there was a power that made her, a senior ninja, feel terrified, which was very dangerous.

Maybe they will be the strongest among all the ninjas participating in the finals.

"Is Kimomaro really okay? Once his body enters a high-intensity battle, it will..."

Bai, who was about to say something, stopped suddenly at this point, with a worried look in his eyes.

Junin, who is the guide, is also slightly silent, and said: "Who knows, but it's just a game, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

However, when I said this, I didn't even believe it if I didn't kill myself. I could only pray that the opponent would survive the final without incident.

In the ward, two medical ninjas in white coats and masks were treating Sasuke who was lying on the hospital bed.

"What a messy kid. His body is already full of holes. If he keeps messing around and doesn't get treatment, it may leave a permanent root of the disease."

A medical ninja slowly shook his head at the unconscious Sasuke on the hospital bed.

"That's right, these brats know how to mess up and make medical treatment more difficult for us."

Another medical ninja also complained.

Not only Sasuke, but most of the other ninjas who were wounded and comatose in the ward were also in the same situation. They forced their bodies too much, and they had to fight even if their bodies collapsed, which added a lot of trouble to their medical work.

Just as they were preparing for the next step of treatment, a voice came from behind:

"Leave the child's medical work to me, you can go to other things."

A man and a woman appeared at the door of the ward. The woman who spoke was about 20 years old. She was wearing the same white coat as them. It was not difficult to see that she was a medical ninja.

The man next to her has short black hair, and the Uchiha family's Uchiha fan logo is embroidered on his clothes.

"yes."

Recognizing the identities of the two, the two medical ninjas did not say much, and directly interrupted the medical work on Sasuke, and walked quickly towards the outside of the ward to make room.

After the two medical ninjas left, a man and a woman walked into the ward. The man closed the door of the ward tightly to prevent outsiders from entering.

"It's just a big fart brat, do you need to come over in person, Lin?"

After closing the door, the man folded his hands behind his head, lazily looked at Sasuke lying on the hospital bed, and spoke his mind.

"No way, this child has been staying in Konoha, and it is difficult for us to control his body in real time. Moreover, he is the 'seed' under the care of Mr. Baishi himself. It is safer for me to check it myself."

This man and woman are Obito and Rin.

They were once the missing persons of Konoha, so naturally they couldn't show their faces on this occasion.

This is of course not because they are afraid of Konoha. Even if they are exposed, Konoha's side will have nothing to do about it, but they are hiding their combat power as a kingdom of ghosts, and it is not yet time for them to officially appear.

"Yeah?"

Obito still doesn't care.

"Don't say that, Obito, he is also your clan."

Lin smiled slightly.

"Understood, then, leave the job of guarding the gate to me. During this period, no one will disturb Lin's work."

"Well, then I'm counting on you, Obito."

Lin nodded, stretched out her hand, circulated the celestial chakra in her body, and gently placed it on Sasuke's chest.

I saw that Sasuke's originally painful face calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his pale skin began to return to blood.

Seeing that Sasuke has been pulled back from the brink of serious injury under the treatment of his own medical fairy art, and then, he only needs to rest for a day, and his body can recover.

"Next, it's official work."

The gentle expression on Lin's face suddenly became serious.

Ordinary medical ninjas will check their bodies through simple operations and medical equipment to detect, and then obtain the body's physical information, but for Lin who has mastered the art of spiritualization, it is unnecessary to be so troublesome. Moreover, Sasuke's situation is a bit special, and he can only investigate clearly by entering the other party's spiritual world with the technique of spiritualization.

Lin took a deep breath, her hands began to form seals quickly, and her eyes slowly closed.

Immediately afterwards, Lin's body was enveloped by a group of dazzling and intense light. This group of dazzling light supported Lin's spirit body, shrouded Sasuke's body, and then disappeared.

Feeling the surrounding environment suddenly quiet down, Lin opened her eyes, and the scene in front of her eyes was no longer a ward, but a narrow and dark corridor.

The visible field of view is very narrow, and the deeper the line of sight goes, the only thing you can see is a vast darkness, bottomless.

"Is this the child's spiritual world?"

Lin looked thoughtfully at the completely enclosed rooms on both sides of the aisle.

The spiritual world exists deep in the heart of a person, hiding the most real side of a person. Generally speaking, this kind of place is not easily opened to outsiders.

Now that Sasuke is in a coma, both physically and mentally, he is in a state of extreme lack of vigilance, which is why it is so easy for Lin to invade.

However, Lin did not intend to explore these secrets of Sasuke, because these secrets were sealed by Sasuke himself, and once they were forcibly broken through, it was likely to cause indelible trauma to Sasuke's spirit.

A little carelessness will turn Sasuke into an idiot.

The spiritization technique should be used with caution because it is a forbidden technique.

Lin kept walking along this long, narrow and dim aisle, the surroundings were quiet, only the sound of her walking alone echoed in the aisle.

Finally, Lin stopped in front of a door, and purple-black chakrlike smoke seeped out from the crack of the door, drifting into the aisle one by one.

Lin stretched out her hand to touch the door, and the breath on it was very cold. The moment she touched it, Lin felt that her hand lost consciousness.

Lin frowned, and then let out a relaxed breath, with a smile on her face.

"This is what Orochimaru left behind, the natural energy, and the aura of yin and yang escape, it's really a mess of spells. But I finally found it, and then I just need to..."

Lin was about to do something when she shook her body, turned her head suddenly, and looked towards the deeper aisle.

A colder breath enveloped him.

This sudden cold breath was not only cold, but also extremely domineering. Lin felt that her spirit was being pulled by an invisible big hand, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

An unprecedented pressure oppressed her body, as if a mountain had fallen down, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Madara... no, this chakra is!?"

Lin's complexion changed drastically, and shock appeared in her eyes.

This is not the first time she has seen this cold and domineering Chakra breath.

In the past, she had felt this kind of chakra on Madara's corpse, and now, she also felt this same chakra on Sasuke's body.

Such a scene surpassed Lin's understanding.

She doesn't understand, why does Sasuke have the same Chakra as Madara?

Just when Lin wanted to explore the truth in the past

Boom!

The horrible explosion sound penetrated Lin's spiritual body and exploded in her mind, leaving her consciousness blank and losing the ability to think.

Lin's spirit body located in the narrow aisle was also directly torn by some invisible force, twisted into a ball without the slightest resistance in the aisle, and disappeared into the air.

In the dark depths hidden in the aisle, a scarlet light slowly lit up, like the eyes of a person, indifferent and domineering.

"Ah... Shura..."

Like a whisper that traveled through time and space, it resounded in this dim space.
