"This is your fate! Kyahahaha~"
On the battlefield of Earth, Ebisu was chasing Konohamaru while letting out a few deep, eerie laughs.
As an elite instructor, he was assigned to teach the grandson of the Third Hokage — Sarutobi Konohamaru.
Yet somehow, the two had fallen out completely!
The cause? Konohamaru had joined Naruto's organization.
After finishing the first story chapter, Ebisu no longer dared to underestimate Naruto, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect Konohamaru to abandon him and become Naruto's disciple instead.
He could tolerate many things — but this? Absolutely not!
So, he immediately responded to the Third Hokage's call, determined to display his strength in the Heaven and Earth Battlefield.
But alas, fate is fickle.
How could it end up like this, facing Konohamaru head-on!
"Don't blame me, Konohamaru-sama. This is a fair fight," Ebisu muttered to himself, looking at the boy he'd just knocked out of the ring.
What he didn't realize was that everyone nearby heard him loud and clear.
"Hey, is that guy really okay?" Anko complained. "Can he even hold the ring? Just give it to me instead."
"Don't interrupt!" Kurenai frowned slightly, her fingers tapping quickly across her phone as she replied without missing a beat. "If you win, hold the ring seriously. If you lose, hurry back and fight again — this event's time-limited!"
"That's right, we can't slack off at all. Gotta stay sharp." Asuma leaned in to add his piece.
"Yeah, yeah!" Anko rolled her eyes.
But suddenly, Asuma's face changed. "Crap! It's that guy — Kakashi!"
"Huh? Can you still hold your Time-Limited Bonus Arena?" Kurenai asked, worried.
"Relax. I know Kakashi's playstyle better than anyone," Asuma rubbed his nose and grinned confidently. "I'll win!"
["With Rin" has successfully captured the Time-Limited Bonus Arena.]
"The point gain's increased. Looks like guarding this type is more profitable than constantly challenging others," Kakashi noted, watching his score climb faster after switching to a special arena.
He immediately realized the key to victory in the Heaven and Earth Battlefield wasn't offense — it was defense.
And he wasted no time sharing this discovery with the others.
"Damn it! I lost to Ebisu-sensei again!" Konohamaru slammed the table in frustration, nearly exploding with anger.
"Konohamaru, even if you can't win, you have to drain their HP as much as possible!" Naruto said, wiping sweat from his forehead as he spoke. "Snatching back even one arena is tough work!"
The moment he finished, the arena beneath his character suddenly changed — it became a special arena, the same kind as the Time-Limited Bonus Arena.
["Invincible Hokage" has successfully captured the Time-Limited Merit Arena.]
"Merit? What's that supposed to mean?" Naruto was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think — he dove right into the next fight.
The ten people in the room were all doing the same.
After every victory or arena switch, the protection period lasted only ten seconds — just enough time to catch their breath.
"Wait, hold on!" Udon suddenly shouted, his face lighting up with excitement. "If switching arenas gives us a protection period, then couldn't we just keep switching back and forth to stay safe?"
"Yeah, great idea — if there were more than two empty arenas for you to swap between," Sasuke replied dryly.
Moegi patted Udon's head, and the boy shrank his neck, quickly shaking his head to signal he'd keep quiet.
Seeing this, Naruto got annoyed. "Sasuke! Don't be mean to them!"
Sasuke ignored him, fully focused on his screen.
Inside the match, his situation wasn't looking good — his summon was gone, and all his skills were on cooldown.
Losing the occupied arena meant losing territory. Though he could switch to another ninja to challenge again, that downtime was pure waste.
He had to make every second count, minimizing every drop of idle time.
In this limited window, he had to score as high as possible.
That, in Sasuke's mind, was the true essence of competition in the Heaven and Earth Battlefield.
"Ha!"
On screen, [Might Guy]'s sweeping kick came flying toward him. Sasuke's [Haruno Sakura] dodged erratically in every direction, narrowly avoiding it.
Sasuke let out a small breath of relief but didn't dare to relax — his opponent still had skills ready.
After wasting one of his own, the opponent became more cautious, now darting side to side as well.
It was a clear test of movement.
Seeing that, Sasuke smirked slightly, mocking his opponent's foolishness.
The guy knew Sasuke had no skills left, yet still played so timidly — anyone watching might think he was the one with empty cooldowns.
Sasuke controlled [Haruno Sakura] to pressure the opponent, whose movement began to falter under that psychological push.
In the Ninja Mobile Game, the camera followed the direction your ninja was facing.
The phone screen's view was limited — what your ninja faced forward was always clearer than what lay behind.
His opponent clearly understood that.
Suddenly! As Sasuke stepped forward to bait, then turned back to create distance, the opponent launched a flying kick — from behind!
It was an attack from outside his screen, while Sasuke's view was turned completely in the opposite direction.
In other words — he couldn't see it coming!
For a split second, time seemed to freeze.
Sasuke felt his mind go razor-sharp — his eyes couldn't see, but his ears heard everything.
Without thinking, his finger — still hovering over the Secret Scroll icon — pressed down.
Earth Release: Tremor!
[Haruno Sakura] took the hit head-on from [Might Guy]'s skill, but at the same moment, the ground under her feet shattered in a circular burst, blasting [Might Guy] into the air.
A Secret Scroll activation — perfectly timed against the enemy's ultimate!
"That was… a Secret Scroll counter?!"
Sasuke was stunned, but his reflexes carried him forward — he immediately cornered [Might Guy] and unleashed a tight combo.
He didn't know what "super armor" or "ultimate clash" meant. He just knew that from that range, he would've been hit.
And since losing one engagement meant losing the whole match, using the Secret Scroll was his only option.
He hadn't expected such a surprising payoff.
It was risky, sure — from baiting the opponent's skill with footwork to clashing head-on at the last second.
The opponent still had some HP left, and their Substitution Jutsu should've been off cooldown soon. Sasuke canceled all ending animations, struck once more, and instantly turned to run.
Bang! The Substitution was triggered — baited successfully!
Maybe out of frustration, the opponent chased straight after him, trying to feed Sasuke some seafood-style payback.
But just as the shell burst from the ground, a massive gray-white Sakura fell from the sky, punching [Might Guy] clean off his feet.
Ultimate meets summon!
Then [Haruno Sakura] stepped forward and summoned a huge iron ball, slamming it into the downed [Might Guy] again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After her ultimate and skill combo — came the fists. Relentless, brutal, bone-crunching punches.
Inside the arena, [Haruno Sakura] pinned [Might Guy] to the wall and beat him to death!
[Victory Determined]
The results screen popped up.
Sasuke stared down at his hands, dazed for a moment — then, without meaning to, he burst out laughing.
"Heh… hehehe… hahahahaha!"
Everyone around turned to look, but Sasuke didn't care. His grin was wide and blazing.
So this was it. This was real PK.
Only this… only this kind of clash… could be called a true duel.
Ninja Mobile Game — this thing… was fun!
