Chapter 225 Sasuke VS Akado Armor
"Please invite the two contestants to the stage." Jifeng stood in the center of the arena, holding a white list of names, and spoke.
"Go on, don't embarrass your older brother." Naruto gently patted Sasuke's left shoulder, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if he were Sasuke's elder.
"Okay, don't use that tone, it sounds weird." Sasuke nodded, got up from his seat, patted off non-existent dust from his body, and shook off the Moonlight from his waist.
Then his figure disappeared from the spot, and as if a beam of moonlight flashed in the air, Sasuke's figure was already standing on one side of the arena. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his hands casually placed. A gust of wind blew by, and the Moonlight Sword at his waist emitted a soft sword hum.
Hayate's pupils contracted slightly. Sasuke was fast, but that was within the normal range of an ordinary person's vision.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details. Sasuke's speed has already reached a level above that of a Chunin.
As expected of a genius from the Uchiha clan? He's comparable to the Root leader; they seem to be brothers.
A few random thoughts flashed through Jifeng's mind, and his eyes subconsciously scanned the surroundings. He then spotted a crow at an empty railing in the stands.
His face showed an expression of no surprise. He didn't stare at the crow for long before looking away. At that moment, another contestant, also from Konoha, went up on stage.
The way Akado Armor, with his mask and black round-framed glasses, made his entrance paled in comparison to Sasuke's.
He simply walked up step by step from below the ring, and his T-shirt looked less stylish compared to Sasuke's long robe.
However, trying to outdo Sasuke in terms of prestige was a mistake in itself; Akado Armor never intended to do that.
Beneath the black glasses, his burning pupils were fixed on Uchiha Sasuke across the arena. His lips were inexplicably dry, and he gently stuck out his tongue to lick his chapped lips under his mask.
On the stage, Rasa watched the internal battle between the two Konoha people with a hint of interest in his eyes. He turned his head slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on the audience, and his lips moved slightly.
"Lord Hokage, who do you think will win this duel between Konoha's geniuses?"
Maki, who was next to Luo Sha, also licked his lips. His tongue seemed different from before, appearing somewhat flexible, but no one paid attention to it.
Sarutobi chuckled softly and said, "Lord Kazekage, there are differences even among geniuses. Hard work is the way to bridge those gaps, but if even geniuses put in the effort, the outcome is predictable."
Sarutobi was right. The two candidates on the stage who have made it this far are both geniuses among genin. However, Sasuke, as the young head of the Uchiha clan, and the extreme training he usually does with Naruto, is a different story.
As for Akado Armor, who has failed the Chunin Exams several times, all Sarutobi can say is that he should do his best.
Luo Sha smiled gently, said no more, and wanted to start enjoying the fun.
"Then let's look forward to the Uchiha's performance."
Meanwhile, Maki's gaze toward Akado Armor became strange, like a chess player looking at a piece about to be captured.
Are you ready?
Jifeng slowly walked towards the edge of the arena, his voice carrying clearly to the two examinees.
"Um."
"alright."
Two voices rang out simultaneously from both sides of the arena.
Gale nodded, then waved his hand and uttered four words: "The duel begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Akado Armor took the initiative to approach Sasuke. He was wearing a string of knuckle dusters on his hand, which flashed with cold light and exuded a chilling aura as he swung them.
Weapons are allowed during the exam. The original Crimson Armor did not require weapons, but during the preparation period this month, that person prepared a handy weapon for him.
After all, it seems that very few people in the Chunin Exams are unarmed, and the majority use weapons in combat.
Sasuke didn't activate his Sharingan. He calmly watched the red armor rushing towards him and dodged the attack by sidestepping at the last moment.
The red-armored man did not stop there. He lowered his center of gravity, then exerted force from his waist, causing his body to spin. The brass knuckles, gleaming with a chilling light, attacked Sasuke's waist.
Click!
The scabbard of the Moonlit Sword blocked the heavy blow for Sasuke, producing a heavy clanging sound.
Using this force, Sasuke somersaulted to create distance, then lightly patted the dust off his palms before calmly drawing the Moonbeam from his waist.
The silver-white sword gleamed in the sunlight, and a cold sword intent pressed down on Sasuke's red armor from the center.
The original Yuehua was taken back by Fugaku after the second exam and underwent modification.
He kept saying that this sword was going to be used in the arena and had to be cool, so Sasuke got a sword called Moonflower that was much more handsome than before.
"So handsome!"
"Wow! He's so handsome! It's a pity I'm already over twenty, otherwise I would definitely go after him."
"He's so handsome, and he looks incredibly awesome!"
The female audience members in the stands let out a scream; Sasuke's elegant and handsome sword drawing had successfully won their hearts.
"Tsk, good at pretending."
"Right, Naruto, you think so too."
"It's really pretentious."
Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, and the others gathered together, eating potato chips provided by Choji, and chirping the Sasuke figure that was set up on the stage.
"Seriously, why don't I have such a cool and stylish weapon?" Kiba said sadly, pinching Akamaru's face.
Compared to Sasuke and Naruto, it seems that his fighting style is a bit too one-dimensional, as he always fights with Akamaru.
A silence fell over the room. After a while, Naruto broke the awkward silence: "Actually, you can learn some weapons too. With more practice, you can do it."
Ya nodded seriously. He had this idea, but what kind of weapon could be combined with his fighting style?
Sigh, this is really giving Grandpa Tooth a headache.
Akado Armor on the stage felt a sudden pressure; the oppressive feeling from Sasuke in front of him exceeded that of all the enemies in all his missions combined.
"This aura is really unpleasant," Akado Armor muttered to himself, then a flash of madness and heat crossed his pupils, and a faint green chakra spread within his body.
Naruto on the stage frowned; he sensed that the red-clad armored figure seemed to have activated something.
It's a strange feeling; the vitality is very strong, yet it's also very weak.
The brass knuckles flashed with a cold light, followed by a clang!
The two weapons clashed, and a spark ignited at the point of contact.
A strange glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes; he felt that this person's power had increased slightly.
However, it was still just average.
