After Natsuri and Chōjūrō entered the arena.
Uzumaki Naruto, who was watching the match for free from the stands, shouted loudly, cheering for Natsuri.
Naruto, who was waving his arms while shouting, suddenly stopped.
He scanned the entire stadium, then activated Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode to carefully sense something.
"Look, that's the winner of the first match, Uzumaki Naruto! I can't be wrong, I remember him looking like that!"
"Look over here, look over here, Uzumaki Naruto!"
...
Naruto's noticeable change led many wealthy spectators behind him to recognize him, and they enthusiastically greeted him.
Mimicking Shisui's past demeanor, Naruto responded with a smile to those who greeted him.
After responding to the enthusiastic crowd, Naruto vanished from his spot.
Remembering the secret mission Tomoki had given him, Naruto went into the contestants' lounge, unrolled a scroll, and quickly wrote something.
Then, he went outside and handed the item to a guard from the Uchiha Clan, before returning to the stands with a heavy heart, looking towards the Presidential Platform.
At this moment, a Ninja was leaning his head close to Tomoki's ear, whispering something.
After this Ninja departed, Tomoki had already activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and the strange aura caused the four people around him to all turn their gazes towards Tomoki.
Tomoki nodded slightly left and right, indicating that everything was fine.
The intel Naruto provided was simple: after Natsuri entered the arena, the malice of those problematic individuals was almost entirely directed at Natsuri.
Although Tomoki had made thorough preparations in the past few days, Naruto's message also allowed Tomoki to fully confirm one of his suspicions.
"Thank you, Naruto. Leave the rest to me. Enjoy the match!"
A familiar voice reached Naruto's ears. Although he still felt a faint sense of worry after hearing it, his expression had eased considerably.
With his teacher present, there definitely wouldn't be any problems!
It wasn't just Naruto; at the same time, people in various locations throughout Konoha, including within the stadium itself, received Tomoki's orders.
Having completed all of this, Tomoki deactivated his Sharingan and also began to seriously watch his younger sister's match.
It was just White Zetsu troops and Obito; Tomoki had no intention of making a move.
It was still the same sentiment as before: he became Hokage because he valued Konoha, not to work for Konoha.
Tomoki's Battlefield was not outside, but inside the stadium, on this Presidential Platform.
In the arena.
Natsuri and Chōjūrō's battle had already involved two rounds of probing each other, and both understood the level of the other's strength.
Chōjūrō took down the HirameKarei from his back, which was larger than his own body.
It was that special Ninjutsu tool that defeated Sasuke!
Seeing Chōjūrō's movement, Natsuri immediately activated her Sharingan, three tomoe slowly rotating in her eyes.
An Uchiha Clan member, and the same eyes as Uchiha Sasuke? It looks even stronger!
Chōjūrō initially panicked, then tightly gripped the HirameKarei, his eyes slowly becoming resolute.
No, I can do it. I will definitely work hard. I should be able to.
Drinking the pep talk he gave himself, Chōjūrō gradually became confident, and his Chakra slowly began to gather towards the HirameKarei in his hand.
This Ninjutsu tool?
Natsuri clearly saw Chōjūrō's Chakra gathering towards the HirameKarei. Although she didn't know what the outcome would be, Natsuri had no intention of waiting for her enemy to complete his preparations.
She quickly formed hand seals, first unleashing a Great Fireball Technique, but Natsuri did not stop her movements. She continued to form hand seals, and another Natsuri suddenly appeared in front of her body, rushing towards Chōjūrō's position.
Facing Natsuri's attack, Chōjūrō raised the HirameKarei with both hands and swung it fiercely at the Great Fireball Technique.
The Great Fireball Technique was directly scattered, disappearing into the air.
At this moment, Chōjūrō was shocked. Why wasn't it there?
Unlike Samehada, which directly absorbs the Chakra from a technique to nullify it.
HirameKarei also has the ability to absorb Chakra, but it can only first violently destroy the technique with its hard blade, and then instantly absorb the scattered Chakra.
It's not much, but it will gradually strengthen the HirameKarei a little, and combined with the user's own Chakra, as the battle time progresses, the HirameKarei will become stronger and stronger.
Until the moment it is completely unleashed, the HirameKarei will no longer absorb the user's Chakra or the Chakra from dissipated techniques.
Following closely behind the Great Fireball Technique was Natsuri's clone. Chōjūrō still simply struck it, easily breaking it into a puddle of clear water.
Nothing, still nothing!
[Earth Release: Fissure Palm!]
The ground where Chōjūrō stood quickly cracked, causing Chōjūrō to lose his footing.
[Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu!]
A water dragon emerged from the clear water that the water clone had turned into.
[Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!]
The Lightning Ball pushed from Natsuri's hand arrived first, colliding with the Water Dragon Jutsu, and a water dragon carrying electric light fully formed.
It attacked Chōjūrō, who was still trying to regain his balance.
Even so, the three Natsuris were still rapidly forming hand seals, preparing for the next wave of Ninjutsu.
"Sasuke, is this the enemy who defeated you?"
Fugaku in the stands asked Sasuke, who was beside him. Sasuke kept his mouth shut and said nothing, but his expression showed that Fugaku was correct.
"It's about to end!"
Fugaku made his conclusion watching the battle in the arena, then said, "I saw a friend, I'm going to say hello. I'll be back in a bit, Sasuke, you stay here with your mother."
After speaking, Fugaku got up from his seat and walked towards the outside.
