Chapter 512 Loss of Qualification

on screen

Konohamaru raised his fist and rushed towards Naruto with a roar.

"boom!"

Naruto punched him in the face.

This punch made Konohamaru a little dazed.

"At least you have to hit him with one punch..."

"I really can't surpass Naruto-sama..."

At this moment, he recalled the past scenes in his mind.

in memory

【This is a step towards becoming a Hokage! 】

[If you want to be the Hokage, you have to defeat me first! ]

Konohamaru looked at Naruto's back and shouted: [I don't want to be a follower anymore! From now on, you and I are competitors! ]

After saying that, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

These memories.

Success helped Konohamaru regain his spirits.

At this moment, he heard the audience cheering.

[Don't give up! ]

【At least one of your moves will hit you! 】

[Yes! Yes! ]

【Come on, kid! 】

Naruto across from him pointed his thumb at himself.

[Konohamaru, try to hit me with a punch! ]

Konohamaru roared to the sky, threw out a shuriken, and formed seals with both hands.

[Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique! ]

【What? ! 】

Naruto was shocked.

He drew out his kunai, blocked several shurikens, and then leapt into the air.

At this moment, a shadow enveloped him. Naruto looked up and saw it was Konohamaru.

[This is grandpa's ninjutsu! ]

【Plus…】

Konohamaru formed seals with both hands.

[Fire Style: Ash Burning! ]

A thick cloud of smoke enveloped Naruto.

[Wait! Pause, pause...]

Konohamaru gritted his teeth, and the thick smoke immediately turned into flames that swallowed Naruto.

[And this is... Uncle Asuma's ninjutsu! ]

Seeing this scene, the audience in the audience couldn't help but stand up and cheer for Konohamaru.

[That kid is quite capable! ]

……

Ninja World

"Konohamaru always brings me different surprises every time."

"Wow, you know a lot of ninjutsu. And you're still just a genin."

"This is an outrageous talent. He used Naruto's method to comprehend the Rasengan on his own, and inexplicably learned the Daidama Rasengan. At such a young age, the number of his multiple shadow clones is comparable to Naruto's. And the two ninjutsu that came after that, just by looking at it, you can tell that the learning difficulty is not low... Konohamaru is really an absolute genius."

"This brat is considered excellent even among Chunins."

Asuma had a pleased smile on his face.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Why did the smile I just made seem like it was from heaven?

In the field

Naruto patted the sparks off his body.

Konohamaru yelled and rushed towards Naruto.

"There are no more shurikens."

'The chakra is gone too.'

'At least let me land one punch!'

in the auditorium

【Go ahead!!!】

In the field

Naruto couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"That guy Konohamaru is so self-absorbed."

Just as he was thinking about this, his foot tripped over a stone.

'Oh no! ’

The moment he fell, Konohamaru punched him.

Konohamaru stared at his fist blankly: [I hit it...]

He gathered his strength, and then shouted excitedly: [Success! ]

Because I was too excited, my voice was a little broken.

Konoha Auditorium

Ebisu burst into tears.

【I finally did it, Konohamaru. 】

[Konohamaru! So awesome! ]

Sunagakure Auditorium

Kankuro exclaimed: [You are quite capable.]

In the field

Konohamaru struck his own pose.

[I am Sarutobi Konohamaru! ]

[I want to be a man who can become Hokage! 】

Hearing his shout, the audience suddenly became excited and everyone was shouting and cheering for him.

Naruto, who was behind Konohamaru, stood up.

[I will not give up the title of Hokage so easily, Konohamaru. ]

【OK! 】

Konohamaru turned around full of fighting spirit.

What he saw then was a scene that shocked him.

Auditorium

Sakura: [Idiot.]

Temari: [Idiot.]

Omoi: [Idiot.]

Gaara: [Idiot.]

Kankuro: [You are indeed an idiot. ]

Temari looked at Naruto below: [As a special case this time, the following restrictions are set. ]

[First: The use of magic is prohibited.]

Kakashi smiled and said: [For the other members, we need to balance their strength. ]

Naruto, who activated Sage Mode, was stunned: [Huh? ]

Shikamaru came over: [Uzumaki Naruto has lost his qualification for the competition due to violating the rules.]

As he said this, he walked over to Konohamaru, grabbed his wrist, and lifted it up.

【Winner: Sarutobi Konohamaru. 】

Konohamaru, with a bruised face and nose, was still a little confused at the moment.

After he realized what was happening, he burst into tears of joy.

Naruto was also a little confused. After he reacted, his eyes widened like copper bells and his nose started running.

【Eh? 】

【Eh? ? ? 】

……

Ninja World

"Fool."

"Gaara's call of idiot is still the most endearing."

"It's just as I guessed before."

"Activate Sage Mode? Naruto, do you want to kill Konohamaru?"

"Naruto must have heard the rules and deliberately wanted to lose to Konohamaru..."

"You'll get used to it. The savior of our ninja world has always been the one who makes fun of us."

"Let's congratulate Konohamaru for eliminating Naruto and advancing to the next round!"

Somewhere in the ninja world

Boruto laughed while holding his stomach.

"Dad's expression! Hahaha..."

Looking at Konohamaru on the screen who was sobbing with joy, Kaguya showed admiration on her face.

"Well done."

on screen

Naruto didn't know how long he stood there until a piece of newspaper was stuck on his face.

[Damn! What is this? ]

Naruto opened the newspaper and saw the silly face on Shikamaru's face when he heard him say that he had lost the qualification to participate in the competition.

【Naruto.】

Hearing someone calling him, Naruto took down the newspaper and saw a group of people gathered in front of him.

The one who just called me was Gaara.

[You can become a Chunin at any time. ]

Kakashi also smiled and gave a thumbs up and said: [In terms of strength, you are already above me. ]

Ebisu echoed: [That's right, you are Konoha's hero. ]

Naruto's cheeks turned slightly red due to the praise, and he felt a little flattered.

[No way... No way... I'm not that great. ]

Sakura smiled and said, "Finally, I have turned back into the original Naruto. Okay, let's go back."

【Wait for me! 】

【Let me say something. 】

Naruto turned around, then lowered his head to see Konohamaru, who had changed into a Chunin vest.
