Chapter 227 The Victory or Defeat is Over
It's the Vajra Lockdown!
This is one of the most powerful sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, rumored to possess terrifying power capable of suppressing tailed beasts. Of course, Naruto is only using a small portion of its power at this moment; the chakra intensity contained in the chains is deliberately suppressed to a level equivalent to that of Sasuke.
Faced with the oncoming golden chains, Zuo Yue didn't hesitate to use her Body Flicker Technique, narrowly avoiding being entangled by the chains. Knowing she mustn't make contact, she immediately formed hand seals as she retreated.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
Several bursts of blazing flame, like scattered red lotuses, roared towards the pursuing Vajra chains! However, amidst the smoke and dust from the exploding flames, the golden chains broke through unscathed, their speed undiminished, continuing their assault on Zuo Yue's new location!
This is troublesome! While using the Body Flicker Technique to constantly change positions to dodge, Zuo Yue kept her eyes fixed on the still thick water mist ahead.
His vision was completely blocked, making it impossible to see Naruto's true form. The chains were too fast; he had to constantly use the Body Flicker Technique to barely dodge them, and the chakra consumption was too great. He couldn't hold out much longer at this rate!
Also, how exactly did Naruto pinpoint his location so precisely in the thick fog?
There was no time for deep thought. Zuo Yue knew that continuing on a passive defense would only lead to defeat. She had to take a risk and break the deadlock!
In a flash, the tactic was decided. After using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the chain attack, Zuo Yue anticipated that the chains would immediately turn towards her new location.
However, this time, instead of dodging, she quickly pulled out a small scroll from her ninja tool pouch—a secret scroll containing specific ninjutsu.
Due to the limitations of her own chakra nature, Sasuke can only use Fire Release and Lightning Release. This scroll containing Wind Release was given to her by Naruto before, and she never expected it to come in handy at this moment.
"Wind Release: Wind Killing Formation!"
She swiftly released the spell seal on the scroll! The next moment, a powerful whirlwind appeared out of thin air, then rapidly expanded, transforming into a roaring tornado that swept across the entire area with overwhelming force!
"call--!!"
The violent airflow, like an invisible giant hand, instantly dispersed the dense moisture that filled the arena! The scene inside the arena was finally clearly revealed—Naruto was standing in the center of the arena, with several dazzling golden chains extending from his back.
However, at the very instant the fog dissipated, the deadly chains had already reached Zuo Yue! The distance was too close; there was no time to dodge again!
The most risky step is here!
"Bili-pa-la—!"
A piercing crackling sound of electricity suddenly rang out from around Zuo Yue! This was not any fully formed Lightning Release ninjutsu, but rather a lightning field formed by her extreme activation of Lightning Release chakra, which she recklessly spread throughout her body.
After his previous defeat at the Adamantine Sealing Barrier, as an excellent ninja, Zuo Yue naturally studied countermeasures in depth.
She remembered Naruto mentioning that this was a sealing technique, and its chains were essentially highly materialized chakra constructs. So…
Blinding lightning crackled around Zuo Yue as she skillfully wove her lightning chakra into an invisible electric net, enveloping the surrounding space.
When the golden chains of the Vajra Seal broke into this Lightning Release domain, the chakra structure inside was instantly subjected to intense interference and erosion! The golden light at the front of the chains became flickering, and the speed and accuracy of the tracking suddenly decreased.
"Using this method to interfere with chakra materialization?!" A hint of surprise flashed in Naruto's eyes, quickly turning into undisguised admiration. To devise a countermeasure in such a short time and implement it decisively… truly worthy of being called Sasuke!
In the spectator stands, the other examinees held their breath, watching in astonishment as the battle unfolded rapidly.
"Those two guys... are still as terrifying as ever."
Kiba Inuzuka held Akamaru tightly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Satsuki… had she finally reverted to the warlike Uchiha she once was?
Kankuro and Temari exchanged a glance, their faces grave. The strength and adaptability displayed in this battle left them with no confidence whatsoever that they could defeat anyone on the field.
So it wasn't just that blond monster; this Uchiha was also... Kankuro's gaze unconsciously swept over the other Konoha genin.
Could it be that all the genin in Konoha are this weak? If that's the case, the village's plan has no chance of succeeding...
A chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
Taking advantage of the precious few seconds that the Adamantine Sealing Technique was interrupted by the Lightning Release, Sasuke once again used Instant Transmission to escape the attack range. Without pausing for a moment, she raised her hand and fired several shuriken tied with transparent chakra threads toward Naruto!
However, Naruto simply raised his hand, and a precisely controlled whirlwind was created out of thin air, easily blowing all the shuriken off course.
Just then, Zuo Yue moved! Her figure transformed into a black gust of wind, rushing straight towards Naruto at top speed! This was her meticulously planned series of attacks—
First, as she sprinted forward, her crimson Sharingan's three tomoe spun rapidly! An invisible genjutsu wave spread like ripples, instantly enveloping Naruto!
Just as the genjutsu activated and Naruto's figure visibly froze, Satsuki's hand seals were already complete—
"Lightning Release: Lightning Bullet!"
A blinding white light burst forth from her palm like a miniature sun, instantly engulfing the entire examination hall! All the spectators involuntarily closed or squinted their eyes, and even the Jonin on the stands subconsciously turned their heads away.
Naruto, who was directly in the center of the bright light, undoubtedly received the most direct visual impact.
As the bright light faded, everyone eagerly looked towards the center of the arena—where they saw Zuo Yue breathing slightly, the kunai in her hand already firmly held against Naruto's neck!
The battle is over? Uchiha Satsuki won?!
This result left many viewers in disbelief. However, Satsuki, who had personally "subdued" Naruto, showed no joy of victory in his eyes, but rather a deep sense of loss.
Because... the "Naruto" being held hostage by kunai in front of her did not possess the unique aura that she was familiar with and captivated by.
For Satsuki, who needs to hold clothes that are stained with Naruto's scent to fall asleep every night, this perception is extremely acute.
"This battle..." Satsuki's voice trembled slightly as he slowly put down the kunai. "...I lost, Naruto."
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the examinees, Naruto, whom she had "held hostage," slowly vanished like a bubble—it was just a clone technique!
The real Naruto was standing quietly behind her, a hint of apology on his face.
"Sorry, Satsuki," he explained softly, "For some special reason, I seem to be basically immune to mental attacks like illusions."
