Chapter 10 - It Begins

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said.

"Genjutsu doesn't put your Chakra into other's body. It's just controls their Chakra, especially the Chakra in their nervous system."

"But if you do learn Gentle Fist Style, you might have one in a hundred chance of completely overloading the opponent's Chakra Pathway if you find it."

Hearing that, Naruto waved his hand and said.

"Bushybrows Sensei's fighting style suits me the best."

Then, he suddenly thought of something and got near Kakashi, whispering in his ear.

"But I have been trying to create my own fighting style. I will show you in this battle, Kakashi Sensei."

Kakashi looked absolutely astonished that Naruto would even do something like that.

But suddenly, a voice rang in Naruto's head.

"Boy, are you forgetting something about that girls' battle?"

When this voice rang, Naruto felt a shockwave go through his spine.

Only then did he realize he had forgotten one major thing. He got so worried about it, and he shouted without even thinking.

"Sakura, you mustn't lose here."

Suddenly, the entire room was silent as everyone turned their eyes on him.

Even Sakura and Ino looked at Naruto with a weird gaze.

Because they hadn't reached the point where Ino had used her Mind Transfer Jutsu on Sakura.

"Sorry!"

Naruto looked at everyone with a blank face and folded his arms.

"Hahahahahaha!"

A loud laughter rang in his head, so loud that it almost enraged him.

But Naruto couldn't do it. He had already made a fool of himself, so he couldn't scream the second time.

Otherwise, he would've shouted at the Nine Tails.

But soon, the battle continued, and Ino did use her Mind Transfer Jutsu. At this moment, Naruto once again encouraged her.

This encouragement helped her get out of Ino's control.

Sasuke stared at him with a suspicious look and asked.

"Hey, loser, how did you know Ino was going to use that Jutsu? You weren't even awake back then."

At this moment, Naruto was sweating hard until an idea came to his mind. He smirked at Sasuke and said.

"Did you forget what I said about Shadow Clone Jutsu? Just a little bit of Transformation on that…"

He went closer to Sasuke and said.

"I can be anywhere. Don't tell others. I am going to put an absolute banger of a performance in my battle so that I can be promoted to Chunin."

Sasuke accepted his explanation, and so did Kakashi. Kurenai and her team didn't hear their discussion since Naruto was speaking lightly.

And while they were talking, Sakura and Ino's battle ended in a tie, and before they could even talk much, the next battle also ended.

Temari and Tenten's battle ended in the shortest time.

It was basically Temari swinging her fan to block all of Tenten's attacks while launching her own.

As this battle ended, the next battle started.

[Nara Shikamaru Versus Kin Tsuchi]

Shikamaru stood in front of Kin with an unhappy face.

'You know, though I saw Sound Shinobi's abilities, I don't know anything about hers. And she's seen my Jutsu already.'

'But, this is all I have.'

As he said that, he raised his hand and made the rat sign.

[Shadow Imitation Jutsu]

"That Jutsu is just a one-trick pony."

Kin smirked as she dashed away, doing his shadow while Shikamaru was left surprised.

She threw bells towards Shikamaru, which surprised him.

"That's an old trick. Next, you'll throw one needle with a bell and one without one, right?"

"And when I react to the sound and dodge the first one and don't notice the second one stab, right?"

Kin didn't care about his words and continued doing her work.

As she attached the bell with a string, she managed to launch an attack on Shikamaru, using needles.

But just as she thought she had hit Shikamaru with her needles and won, she realized that her body had stuck.

"What's going on? Why can't I move?"

Kin was stunned as she saw Shikamaru standing up.

"Finally, it worked."

"What are you talking about? I don't see your shadow anywhere." Kin shouted.

"You haven't noticed yet?"

Shikamaru smirked as his eyes fell on her hand.

Kin followed his gaze and saw the shadow attached to the string to reach her.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Shikamaru started talking about his Shadow Imitation Jutsu, while she didn't believe he could do anything to her.

After all, she would do the same thing he would do. That's how imitation worked.

So, Shikamaru pulled out two shurikens and threw them towards her. She did the same thing.

As they dodged the shuriken by turning back their upper bodies, Kin's head struck the wall so hard that she fainted while Shikamaru landed on his palms.

Then, he flipped himself and got on his feet.

He looked at the collapsed Kin and said.

"If you're a Shinobi, then fight with knowledge of your surroundings. If we make the same move, the distance to the wall behind us is different."

As he explained, he turned around and left.

Naruto stood next to the railings while folding his hands and nodding his head with a satisfied expression.

"That's right! A true shinobi utilizes his surroundings to the best."

Hearing that, Kakashi rubbed his head and said.

"You have gotten quite arrogant, haven't you, Naruto?"

"Let go, Kakashi-sensei!"

He shook his head frantically.

"Look, it will be my turn next!"

As he escaped from Kakashi's palm, his eyes landed on the screen as it showed.

[Uzumaki Naruto Versus Inuzuka Kiba]

At this moment, both were excited for the same reason.

"Uahahahaha! Lucky! We can definitely beat him, Akamaru!"

Kiba laughed as he arrogantly said that.

"Yaaa!"

Naruto raised both of his hands in the air and jumped down from the first floor, landing on the podium.

"Hey, Kiba, I am waiting for you."

He pointed his finger at Kiba and spoke.

"Damn it, you took my thunder."

Kiba roared and jumped in front of Naruto.

Naruto smiled, raised both of his hands, making a cross sign as he said.

"Let's do this!"
