Chapter 66
Sakyo believed she could defeat every single academy student with just one hand.
If there was one phrase to describe Sakyo's current state, it would be—she, Uchiha Sakyo, felt like she had made it! She was starting to float!
But this attitude made Sakura fall into fangirl mode once again, leaving Sakyo deeply annoyed…
Naruto looked at everyone in confusion and said: "What plan do we even need?"
"It's just a bunch of little kids. Do I really need a plan to rob a bunch of little kids?"
Sakura, Sakyo, and Hinata: "…"
Good grief~ Compared to Sakyo, there was someone here who was floating even harder!
At that moment, even Sakyo couldn't help but look at Naruto with admiration.
When it came to acting cool, Sakyo had to admit—she seemed to fall just a tiny bit short of Naruto…
…
In short, under Naruto's lead, the group washed up by the river and then hurried back the way they came.
That was the collection point where the competition would end.
This afternoon at 4:00 PM, everyone was supposed to gather there.
Anyone who didn't show up would be automatically considered to have forfeited.
When ninjas hurried, their speed was frightening.
Both Naruto and Sakyo's strength were far beyond normal academy students.
Their speed was the same.
Naruto carried Hinata in his arms, Sakyo carried Sakura on her back—both moving at extreme speed~
Along the way, the happiest person was undoubtedly Sakura.
Right now, she was blushing like crazy, lying dreamily on Sakyo's back.
Was this… the feeling of happiness?
Sakura couldn't help but think…
Before long, the two of them arrived at the destination.
The moment they got there, Naruto saw the Sand and Konoha ANBU along with the teachers waiting ahead.
Iruka had received news last night that Naruto was safe. Seeing him bouncing around in front of him now, Iruka smiled and waved:
"Hey! Naruto!! If you want to end the competition, come register with me!"
Because the competition end time was from noon to 4:00 PM,
Iruka naturally assumed Naruto was here to turn in his special kunai and finish early.
However…
Naruto stopped cheerfully about a hundred meters in front of Iruka and shouted:
"Iruka-sensei!"
"No rush! I haven't even started collecting kunai yet! How can I end this early?"
In fact, two academy students had already arrived early, waiting to forfeit right at noon.
Hearing Naruto's words, everyone froze.
Maki narrowed his eyes at Naruto, a growing sense of crisis rising in his heart.
Konoha's jinchūriki… seemed extremely stable.
Yes—despite all the commotion last night, there hadn't been any sign of trouble with Naruto's seal.
And with Naruto's behavior… it looked like he was planning to…
Sand ninjas lived in the desert—their personalities generally leaned hawkish.
Maki could tell with one glance: Naruto had come early but wasn't ending the competition, and he said he hadn't collected any special kunai yet.
This… this was clearly a robbery!
Iruka was very confused. He only saw Naruto gesturing something with three people in the distance.
After a while, Hinata, Sakura, and Sakyo all moved far away from Naruto.
And Naruto looked left and right, then began forming hand seals…
"Earth Style—Earth Splitting Palm!"
"Earth Style—Earth Splitting Palm!"
On both sides of Naruto, he unleashed the Earth Splitting Palm once each.
BOOM~
Thanks to Naruto's monstrous chakra reserves, the effect of the Earth Splitting Palm was absolutely terrifying…
