Another perfect score! And at this moment, Haru, with an average score of 99, was far ahead on the ranking list!

  Second pce was Uchiha Sasuke, with an average score of 66!

  Closely following was Uzumaki Naruto, with an average score of 63.

  Behind them were the others, with not much difference between their scores. But there were still many talented individuals among them, with outstanding performances in single categories:

  Choji: Defense, 82 points; Inuzuka Kiba: Speed, 100 points; Hinata: Agility, 93 points, and so on.

  And now, after everyone had finished the individual tests, the final one-on-one fights began! Those with strong one-on-one abilities were even qualified to directly enter the special css! After all, some secret techniques couldn't be detected by these simple tests.

  "Alright, congratutions to everyone for successfully passing the previous tests. I believe you all have a retively clear understanding of yourselves and your cssmates now. Next, we will randomly draw lots for two-person duels. Winning or losing isn't important; what matters is showing your true selves in the duel and demonstrating your spirit. As long as you perform excellently, you can enter the special css regardless of whether you win or lose!" Iruka's warm voice attracted the students' attention. Who wouldn't want a gentle and caring teacher? Some girls even had hearts in their eyes looking at the smiling Iruka.

  "I will personally supervise." Low, dry, ruthless. Undoubtedly, this was Morino Ibiki's doing. His instant mood-killing skill never failed. One sentence shattered the lighthearted atmosphere among the students, and a hellish pressure swept over them. The girls who had hearts in their eyes just now were now trembling.

  "Alright, alright, Ibiki-sensei will protect your safety during the written exam. He's very strong, you know!" Iruka quickly tried to smooth things over, speaking up for Ibiki. But Ibiki just wouldn't appreciate it...

  "Anyone who tries to kill will be personally apprehended by me." Ruthless, dry, low.

  ...

  "Ibiki, say less. Everyone, go take a rest. We'll draw lots in thirty minutes, so be prepared," Iruka said, imposing a ban on Ibiki when he saw he couldn't help him at all. There was no way to change someone's personality so easily. Especially someone like Ibiki, whose personality had changed due to childhood trauma, it was even more impossible. To ensure the newly enrolled children would perform well ter, Iruka had no choice but to inconvenience Ibiki for now.

  "Sorry, Ibiki. I was just afraid the kids wouldn't dare to fight ter," Iruka said with a wry smile, scratching his head and looking at Ibiki with a slight apology.

  "It's fine, I don't care," Ibiki replied coldly. So cold that his words swept past Iruka like a cold wind, and Iruka suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He was easily scared and naturally couldn't handle Ibiki's soul-piercing words.

  "Haru! How did you get such high scores just now? I only got 20 points in the ninjutsu round!" Naruto saw Haru and naturally ran over as fast as he could.

  "Hmm, I used five elemental ninjutsu, so I got five sets of twenty points. Huh, you have offensive ninjutsu now? And you got ten points?" Haru was very surprised by Naruto's ninjutsu. In his memory, Naruto didn't know any offensive ninjutsu.

  "That's right! I used the Naruto Bridge Technique and crushed the rock!" Naruto said excitedly. This was the first time he had shown off in front of Haru, completely oblivious to the bck lines above everyone else's heads.

  The Naruto Bridge Technique, as the name suggested, involved using Naruto to build a bridge. The steps were also very simple: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique plus human pyramid, then falling over, and the rock was probably crushed that way. Thinking of this, Haru couldn't help but feel sorry for the rock. Even in death, it had to die like a joke. What a tragic rock life.

  "...That move was so cool, even the instructor was speechless! He must have been overwhelmed by my talent, hahaha..." Naruto continued to describe the scene at the time, oblivious to everyone around him who had long since stopped listening. Perhaps only someone with his thick skin could be so carefree.

  "Idiot."

  "What did you say! Sasuke, you big dummy..."

  "Alright, students, gather over here! I will call out names, and those whose names are called will stand in order on my left. The order I call out is also your battle order. Uzumaki Naruto, Inuzuka Kiba, Tenbutsu Akiharu, Aburame Shino... Hyuga Hinata, Haruno Sakura." Following the instructions, the students obediently lined up one by one under Ibiki's gaze. Perhaps even a well-trained army couldn't achieve such silence, order, and complete obedience.

  "Next, listen to the order and stand on my right! Akimichi Choji, Haru, Nara Shikamaru, Uchiha Sasuke... Nakatane Maru, Yamanaka Ino!"

  "Are you ready? First match, step forward! Uzumaki Naruto versus Akimichi Choji! Begin!" With Iruka's command, he leaped back out of the arena, but a gloomy voice came from below again: "I said I would personally supervise."

  "Yes, yes. Sorry, I forgot," Iruka shuddered again. Ibiki's voice was truly chilling.

  On the stage, however, Naruto looked completely rexed.

  "Hey, fatty, I'm really strong, you know. I'll defeat you right away," Naruto underestimated his opponent, but his opponent didn't underestimate him.

  Without any hesitation, Choji dragged his bulky body towards Naruto, all the while forming a special hand seal of his cn. With just one seal, the chakra lock was released, the seal completed!

  Secret Technique: Partial Multi-Size Technique - Hand!

  Just as Naruto was still ughing loudly, a giant hand swung straight towards him.

  But before the giant hand arrived, the wind pressure from it did. This time, the fox spirit within Naruto had to warn him, directly rampaging inside Naruto's body, forcibly knocking Naruto down and dodging the sweeping attack.

  "Wow, fatty, you're strong! You scared me to death. I'm going to attack now!" Naruto became serious this time. That just now had really frightened him. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to be eliminated like that?

  Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

  Instantly forming the seals, ten shadow clones appeared beside Naruto. What followed was a melee. Choji's giant arm, at this moment, was not an advantage but a burden, like a fixed target, surrounded by Naruto's clones, getting hit here and kicked there.

  "Ah, at this rate, I won't be able to hold on," Choji said nervously, cold sweat dripping down his chubby cheeks. Even with his defensive power, passively taking hits wouldn't show his strength. He retracted his enrged hands to their original size, and the Naruto shadow clones suddenly lost their target, one by one crashing to the ground.

  Secret Technique: Partial Multi-Size Technique - Legs!

  Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...

  His feet suddenly grew enormous, and before Naruto could react, they stomped all the shadow clones, none of them surviving. All of them turned into puffs of white smoke and dissipated at the same time.

  "No way, try again!" Naruto saw that his first wave of human-sea tactics had achieved nothing, and his opponent seemed to have increased his attack power, so he could only increase his chakra output as well.

  Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

  This time, it wasn't just ten clones. The entire ptform was filled with densely packed shadow clones! Who knew where a six-year-old child got so much chakra, but perhaps this was Naruto's advantage.

  "Yah! Multiple Naruto Barrage!" Naruto roared, leading his shadow clones to repeatedly strike Choji, sending him flying into the sky with each hit. Each shadow clone disappeared after throwing a punch, after all, their chakra control was still too poor.

  Under such a dense attack, Naruto also witnessed Choji's powerful defense. After all, even while flying in mid-air, Choji was still smiling! Naruto's intelligence told him not to drag this out; a prolonged battle might be disadvantageous for him.

  "Choji, your defense is really terrifyingly strong. But, I'm going to end this match. Get ready for this move!"

  Shadow Clone Technique!

  Naruto jumped up, and the shadow clones on the ground grabbed Naruto's legs, swinging him around like a shot put, spinning in pce, accelerating, accelerating more, until the centrifugal force reached its peak! The main body was released, flying directly towards Choji, who was falling from the sky!

  Choji realized he had no chance to dodge and prepared to take the impact head-on. After all, he felt that with such speed, Naruto's mere weight couldn't hurt him. So, Secret Technique: Partial Multi-Size Technique! His hands grew rger, enveloping the half of his body facing Naruto.

  But clearly, Naruto had also anticipated this situation. In mid-air, he continuously used the Shadow Clone Technique, but each time releasing only one shadow clone, its sole purpose to serve as his stepping stone, controlling his trajectory, stepping onto the shadow clone's shoulders one after another.

  Shadow Clone - Aerial Walk!

  Closing in! Choji maintained his defensive posture, making it difficult to expand further.

  One meter left! Half a meter!

  Got him!

  Naruto stood on Choji's body and used the Shadow Clone Technique again. This time, it was two clones.

  The shadow clones tightly grabbed Choji's body, simultaneously correcting his falling posture. They adjusted him from facing downwards with his back to a complete head-first fall, while the main body stood steadily on Choji's feet, preparing to jump away before nding to avoid the aftershock of his own attack.

  Naruto actually had some brains at this moment.

  About to nd!

  Shadow Clone - Meteor Strike! The shadow clones used their bodies to protect Choji's head at the st moment. After all, it was said that lethal combat was not allowed, and Naruto perfectly executed this requirement.

  "Whew, that should have done it, right?" Even for Naruto, using so much chakra at once was exhausting. Of course, what tired him out the most was coming up with that tactic just now. Asking someone without much brainpower to think of tactics on their own was a huge test for him.

  Then, Naruto dispelled the shadow clones and revealed Choji, whose eyes were swirling, unconscious but still breathing normally. By estimation, he had fainted from fright just before nding. As for when he nded, Naruto was clutching his stomach and screaming in pain. The painful memories of the shadow clones were all transmitted to Naruto's memory, so he naturally had to suffer for a while.

  "First match, Uzumaki Naruto wins!"
