Chapter 151 Sakura vs Kiba

When Haruno Sakura stepped into the arena and stood opposite Inuzuka Kiba, Kiba couldn't help swallowing.

The muscles on her arms were clearly defined, lean and powerful, but this was far from enough to show her true strength. Moreover, Sakura was older than Kiba and had already begun to show the explosive power and growth rate unique to adolescent girls.

Kiba was nervous, and with good reason. He silently thanked every deity he could think of because Gekko Hayate had forbidden Sakura from using her super-powerful gauntlets that could shatter rocks with a single punch.

Not being able to use the wrist guard at least made Kiba feel a little more at ease, otherwise he was really worried that Sakura would punch his head off.

"What's wrong, Ya?" Sakura sneered at Ya, "You don't look well."

Ya smiled back, but it was just an act of forced calm.

Cold sweat streamed down his neck, and at the same time, his nerves were trembling with excitement.

He knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, and he was terrified about fighting an opponent like Sakura, but at the same time, he was excited about challenging a strong opponent.

After all, he rarely gets the chance to fight an opponent as strong as Sakura, which gives him the opportunity to test his limits and see how far he stands from the top.

Kakashi Hatake is a very good teacher. He has always known that the members of Team 7 are monsters, but he seems to have forgotten that the instructor of Team 7 is not an ordinary person either.

Kiba soon discovered that Kakashi was the true king of monsters.

"Sakura's biggest weakness is speed." Kiba recalled what his teammates had said during training. "She is the strongest among you, and has the strongest attack power, but she needs some time to find her rhythm. So, you'd better make a quick decision. Once she seizes the opportunity, you're dead."

So, Kiba did not respond to Sakura with taunts as usual, but went straight into combat.

Kiba's body turned into a shadow and rushed towards Sakura, his fingers opened, and a new chakra light flashed on his fingertips. This was a new technique he learned when training with Kakashi. This was an ancient Hatake taijutsu, which Kakashi learned almost without a teacher, but it took Kiba three full days to fully master.

Spirit bone claw mark!

Wild Claw Strike!

Sharp chakra claws extended from Fang's fingertips, as cold as glaciers, as if they were part of his body, full of wild power.

The moment the attack hit the target, Ya's wild instincts were fully aroused.

Chakra collided on Sakura's wrist guard, creating intense sparks. Sakura raised her wrist to block, adjusted her posture, and prepared to fight.

Sakura deflected Kiba's first attack and then punched Kiba in the chest.

Fang arched his body, dodged the attack at an incredible angle, and jumped behind Sakura.

They are all geniuses in close combat, and for them, close combat is as easy as breathing.

For a long time afterwards, they were enjoying the fun of fighting, punching and kicking each other, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Ya found the right opportunity and punched Sakura several times, but they were only superficial injuries, leaving a few white marks on Sakura's arms and shoulders, and once he luckily scratched Sakura's cheek.

Fighting Sakura feels like using a kunai to chop stone. Although it can cause damage, it is just a slight scratch and cannot shake the foundation at all.

The more intense the battle, the stronger Ya's feral instincts become, and he becomes more and more adept at using Hatake Taijutsu.

He almost subconsciously used his next move - the energy sickle! As Ya swung his arm, the energy sickle drew a perfect arc in the air and then chopped down suddenly.

This time, the attack worked! The energy sickle cut deeply into Sakura's side and arm, and blood splattered.

Kiba jumped back, ready for Sakura's counterattack.

But Sakura did not fight back immediately.

"Ouch?" Akamaru poked his head out from Kiba's clothes and let out an uneasy growl.

Kiba whispered back to Akamaru and released it.

Kiba quickly formed a seal and activated the Beast Shadow Clone Technique. Akamaru transformed into another clone of Kiba, squatting on the ground, ready to attack at any time.

With Akamaru's help, their attack power is further enhanced.

But at this moment, Haruno Sakura finally found her own rhythm.

The change was instantaneous and extremely terrifying.

The speed was so fast that Ya even felt like he heard a sonic boom in his ears.

Sakura knocked Ya back with a punch, then turned around and stomped on the ground, sending gravel flying.

A powerful chakra shock wave hit Ya, causing the chakra in his body to become disordered.

Ya was caught off guard by the sudden attack and could only rely on his beast-like instincts to dodge Sakura's attacks in a panic.

Sakura is as fast as lightning and as powerful as hell. Every attack she makes is like a cannonball, deafening.

Ya brushed shoulders with death time and time again.

Akamaru attacks from behind, successfully drawing Sakura's attention.

Ya took the opportunity to create some distance, so he could launch a counterattack, attack quickly and fiercely, and perhaps still have a chance of survival.

But in fact, he knew that he had no chance of winning.

Ya slowly stood up and stretched his shoulders to recover from his feral state.

Sakura straightened up as well, relaxing her fighting stance and casually shoving one hand in her pocket.

They smiled at each other, Ya still caught up in the adrenaline rush and couldn't help but giggle.

His laughter seemed to infect Sakura, and she couldn't help but laugh as well, covering her mouth with her hands to try to stifle her laughter.

And so they stood there in the center of the arena, laughing like fools as time went by.

Ya heard a murmur from the audience, full of confusion and surprise.

He saw Xuanjian standing in the distance, holding his forehead helplessly.

"Well," Ya murmured, rubbing the back of his head with his hand, "I didn't expect this to happen. Looks like we'll have to spar more often from now on."

Sakura's smile was bright and satisfying. "At your service, dog-head. You're getting faster and faster."

Hearing Sakura's praise, Ya's face felt slightly hot. He knew that Sakura's praise was not just casual talk, it meant a lot to him.

Then, he turned to Xuanjian, raised his arms, remembered that the game time was not over yet, and said loudly:

"Oh, by the way, I abstain!"

Xuanjian shook his head helplessly.

"You little brats..." he muttered, then announced loudly:

"Inuzuka Kiba forfeits! The winner is Haruno Sakura!"
