Chapter 354: A Long-Lost Duel (Second Update)
In the tradition of Konoha, the group members are usually a combination of two men and one woman.
When the seventh class was formed, the outside world commented that it was a classic combination of a genius plus a crane tail and a female ninja.
Female ninja. That's what Sakura Haruno's label is.
It doesn't matter if she has talent or not, she just values that she is a woman.
Because most of the time, the role of female ninjas in the team is a support position, responsible for logistics, medical care, harassment and other work, and even become a regulator of the team's atmosphere and a lubricant for interpersonal relationships.
Even a female ninja like Tsunade, who is as strong as Tsunade, is mostly a medical ninja in the position of the three ninja group.
The exception is in Class 7.
Sasuke is well aware of this. All along, the strongest person in the seventh class is not him who has the Sharingan, not Naruto who has the power of the Nine-Tails.
It's Sakura Haruno, the one who is labeled as a female ninja.
This seems a little unimaginable to the outside world, especially those who know their identity, why in such a group, a civilian ninja would take the lead, leaving the Uchiha and the Nine-Tails pillar behind?
In fact, Sasuke has always been puzzled by this problem.
How did this pretty pink-haired girl grow to where she is today? Even Sasuke, who claims to be one of the people who knows her best, is often amazed by this.
There was a time when he was almost touching her back, and soon after he became a teacher, her power swished up like a rocket ascending into the sky.
In the past two years, her record has become more and more impressive, and it is also a bit jaw-dropping to Sasuke.
Obviously, there is no blood inheritance limit, and there is no excellent physical talent, just with the cheating-level chakra manipulation ability and the knowledge of the side door that I learned from nowhere, I can grow up quickly!
Fortunately, he is no longer the ignorant and second-year teenager of the past, and he will not be dissatisfied with himself because of the progress of his teammates. In fact, Sasuke is still very satisfied with the speed of his progress, and after embarking on the path of thunder escape, almost every once in a while, looking back and comparing his past self, he can feel his reborn growth. The reward for his down-to-earth cultivation is steady growth, and his speed, strength, ninjutsu and chakra amount, as well as sword skills, are all advancing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!
Moreover, such progress is far from reaching a bottleneck.
This sense of transcendence brought about by constantly overcoming oneself is also an important reason why Sasuke has not been consumed by hatred.
The reason why he couldn't catch up with Sakura Haruno was probably because this teammate of his was amazing.
Sasuke sighed in his heart, watching the girl in front of him seal one by one, and prepared for battle without hurry.
He knew what she was doing.
The Yin Seal, which provides chakra, Sakura Chong, which increases her reaction speed, the Ice Armor that is wrapped in the vital points of her body, and the butterfly twin knives that have condensed in her hands, are all powerful secret techniques that she has modified or developed, and which she is used to preparing for war.
Coupled with the strange power that came at hand in battle, and the extremely fast magic mirror ice crystals.
Her offense and defense are flawless!
When Sakura Haruno is ready, the two form a seal of opposites.
"I'm not as good at developing ninjutsu as you are," Sasuke said before the battle, "but I'm confident in the ninjutsu of the Thousand Bird Demon Form!"
As he spoke, he condensed the Thousand Bird Short Sword, and before the words fell, he rushed out in an instant!
The word lightning aptly describes the speed and shape of the black-haired boy, and in the eyes of others, Sasuke has turned into a dark blue lightning bolt at this moment, rushing towards the girl!
Only for a moment.
Sasuke appeared in front of Sakura Haruno, and even her pupils could be seen shrinking from a distance, and the blue short knife in his hand swung down violently!
The sword flashed, and a cyan sword shadow slashed through the air, and the sword slashed towards Haruno Sakura.
The essence of the White Fang's knife technique is to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and Sasuke's knife technique, at least in terms of speed, has reached the level of the White Fang back then!
Clang!
The ice blade and the thunder sword suddenly clashed, and the crisp sound of gold and stone collision rang out!
"You can still block it...... She's getting faster again!"
Sasuke's eyes froze, and he couldn't hit it, and he instantly pulled away, avoiding Sakura's ninjutsu force.
The girl's right hand used a strange power technique, and with unparalleled power, she swung her ice blade to cut through the air, and slashed at the afterimage left by Sasuke, who exerted force on her feet, and her footsteps were staggered, and she had already circled behind Sakura Haruno.
The second slash is out.
Clang!
The other handle of the butterfly double knife, the left palm knife was raised, the girl's wrist was flipped, the movement was soft and bright, and the thin blade was as light as a flying butterfly, facing Sasuke's thunder sword.
The two collided, and there was a crisp exchange sound again, and the eight slashing knives in Haruno Sakura's hand seemed to be soft and forceless, but in fact, under the force of ninjutsu, there was a huge force to meet Sasuke's thunder sword!
Sasuke frowned slightly, the thunder sword move in his hand turned from real to empty, allowing the ice blade to pass through the light and shadow of the thunder sword, avoiding the power from the strange power technique, his feet turned sharply, and his body instantly moved and started, circling around the girl, the thunder sword in his hand continued to slash out, and the sharp knife momentum attacked Haruno Sakura like a storm!
Bang Bang Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged dozens of blows, and the continuous sound of sword collision came from the battlefield, connecting into an inseparable piece.
This is the second time that Sasuke and Sakura have engaged in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat with Ice Escape and Thunder Escape after fighting as candidates and examiners respectively in that dark part of the assessment. [Chapter 218]
At this time, it has been a year, Sasuke and Sakura have not stood still, but have grown rapidly, and their strength is no longer the same as it was then!
What's more, Sakura Haruno didn't use all her strength at that time, and this time, she used all the power of ninjutsu without reservation, and the intensity of this battle can be imagined!
The cyan Chidori short sword and the silver-white butterfly skate blade slashed through the air, constantly colliding, Sasuke's vigorous figure and Haruno Sakura's light posture staggered, and the movements were as fast as the wind, so fast that people were dizzying!
How fast is Sasuke, who has turned on the combined mode of Cat Demon Transformation and Thunder Escape's Outer Coat?
Sasuke, who is a speed type himself, has the dynamic vision of the writing wheel eye, and the activation ability of the thunder escape thousand bird mode to the body, and after the joint transformation with the ninja cat, he has obtained the vigorous blessing of the feline, and under the superposition of the three, the speed can already crown most of the upper ninja.
However, Sakura Haruno, who opened Sakura Chong to stage 3 and activated the brain overclocking mode, accelerated the thinking and reaction ability of the entire brain by a few points, and it was also incredibly fast!
A few back and forth, the two of them fought fast, tossing and turning, and exchanged dozens of moves! With their respective three hooks jade writing wheel eye and cherry blossom stage three, with their respective thunder escape-thousand bird demon body mode and secret technique-ninja body eight slashing technique, the two fought together, and the battle was so fierce that people couldn't breathe!
However, Sasuke, who opened the Thousand Bird Demon Body, still suppressed Sakura Haruno with the advantage of speed, the latter reacted quickly and had strong strength, but his attack and movement speed were not fast enough. In such a high-speed battle, this subtle difference becomes the key to Sasuke's suppression of the girl!
Bang!
After continuous fighting, Sakura Haruno finally revealed a gap, and Sasuke seized the opportunity and kicked her out with one kick and fell into the river.
Whew, whew......
Sakura Haruno crawled out of the river and stood on the surface of the river. The two gasped violently.
"Your new technique...... It's really extraordinary!" Sakura Haruno wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and while easily removing the small wounds left in the battle, she said, "It's really a very creative technique to be able to wear the Thunder Escape Thousand Bird Outer Clothing under the demon body mode after the joint transformation!"
"Hmph......" The corners of Sasuke's mouth were a little smug and hooked, but he said, "It's just a combination of the techniques that have been mastered, and compared to your secret techniques, it can't be called any innovation!"
"The joint transformation with the ninja cat and the thunder escape thousand bird mode can greatly increase your speed and flexibility, and your new technique can stack these two amplifications together, and when you complete this technique, you will be a new generation of golden flashes!" Sakura smiled, looking at the slightly smug expression on his face, and added, "Also, the cat ears are quite cute." ”
"Stupid, that's not the focus of attention...... it doesn't matter what you look like, you just need to be able to improve your strength. The corners of Sasuke's mouth that had just been hooked suddenly became a little unbearable, his cheeks twitched, and he said hurriedly, "In short, this mode consumes too much chakra, and I can't hold on for a few minutes!"
He continued with a straight face: "So stop talking nonsense, keep fighting! You've done your best just now, right?"
"Of course. Sakura nodded and said, "Your strength has improved very quickly! At this time last year, I couldn't have tied with you without using the Strange Strength Technique......
"Cut...... Of course, if you speed up, Naruto will catch up!" Sasuke said.
"Well, when Naruto masters the power of the Nine-Tails, maybe you'll become the tail of the crane in Class 7!" Sakura Haruno nodded and said solemnly.
"Maybe you'll be the weakest by then?"
"Can you two surpass me?" the girl raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips, "Cut, I don't believe it." ”
Sasuke pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Indeed, although Sasuke suppressed her in the battle just now, the physical technique is not what Sakura Haruno is best at, and she hasn't used ninjutsu yet! Sasuke doesn't think that that is all Sakura's strength just now.
He had tried his best just now, but he could only slightly outperform, and even the most confident speed could not defeat her...... Sakura's reaction speed is faster than before! Her Sakura Chong Secret Technique should have been upgraded to another level, right?
Standing across from the girl, Sasuke could feel her tricky. I don't know how the enemy who fights against her feels when facing her?
"So, are you going to use ninjutsu next?" Sasuke said in a deep voice, "Then go ahead!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly exerted force under his feet and rushed towards Haruno Sakura again!
Haruno Sakura's eyes froze, and a seal quickly formed on her hand, and a wall of water instantly stood up in front of her: "Water Escape-Water Array Wall!"
Wow!
The hastily performed ninjutsu failed to stop Sasuke's pace, and he charged in the form of a thousand bird demon and was simply unstoppable, breaking through the interception of the wall of water devastatingly, and facing the girl, the volley was a slash!
Click-
Ice clones?
The strange feeling made Sasuke react instantly.
The wound faded, and Sakura, who was reduced to ice, suddenly had a weird smile on her face!
The black-haired boy's face changed, and the next moment, the ice clone exploded!
Again, this doppelganger blasting tactic is the same as her students...... Sasuke, who dodged the explosion at the last moment, was still apprehensive when he landed on the river, and complained in his heart.
It's just that Sasuke relaxed too soon.
Before he could gain a firm footing, the water under his feet swelled, and hundreds of doppelgangers jumped out of the water, densely covering half of the sky, enveloping him in the middle!
The black-haired boy's pupils shrank suddenly.
Finished......
The feet subconsciously exert force up and down, the body shape rises, and the left and right rush forward, and they are about to forcibly break out of the encirclement!
"Mutual Ice Clone Demolition Technique!"
