Chapter 80 The second test passed

Sakura and Sasuke successfully defeated many candidates in a series of fierce battles, and their combat ability and reaction speed were greatly improved.

After many fierce battles, Sakura became more and more calm and composed, whether facing the enemy's sudden attack or direct confrontation. Her movements became more and more agile, and every attack was accurate, fierce and powerful, and her eyes were filled with a touch of confidence and determination.

Sasuke's performance in battle is also remarkable. He skillfully combines various ninjutsu and six-style techniques to flexibly respond to various emergencies. His judgment is accurate and fast, and he can always make the most favorable decision in an instant.

At this moment, they stood side by side. Although their faces looked a little tired, the powerful aura they emanated remained undiminished.

Sakura smiled at Naruto and said, "It feels like we are much stronger than before."

Naruto also responded with a smile: "Yes, but this is just the beginning. I think the time is almost up. Let's go to the central tower first."

So, the three of them walked towards the central tower with firm and steady steps. The breeze blew gently, gently ruffling the corners of their clothes. At this moment, Naruto suddenly stopped.

Sakura asked in confusion, "Naruto, what's wrong? Have you noticed the enemy again?"

Naruto shook his head and replied, "No, we are trapped in an illusion."

Sasuke heard Naruto's words and immediately opened his Sharingan. Then he formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Open!" Instantly, the surrounding trees underwent a strange change, and the illusion was lifted.

Seeing Sasuke's actions, Naruto instantly turned his perception ability to the extreme, and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye. Just a few seconds later, Naruto had two more corpses in his hands.

Sakura and Sasuke were startled, and Sasuke asked hurriedly: "What is this?"

Naruto said calmly, "He should be the ninja who cast the illusion. Judging from the forehead protector, he is from the Rain Village."

Sakura frowned and speculated, "It seems that they are also trying to block the road leading to the central tower at the last minute and rob it?"

"It doesn't matter, they're just a bunch of minions." After saying that, he continued to stride towards the central tower.

The sunlight was like water, and the figures of the three people were stretched out on the ground as they continued to approach the central tower step by step.

About half an hour later, they finally arrived near the central tower. Naruto stared at the red door and gently pushed it open.

Inside the door is a spacious and mysterious hall, with wise sayings from three generations posted on the walls.

Naruto took out the Heaven and Earth Scroll and opened it. With a "bang" sound, Teacher Iruka appeared in front of the three of them.

The three of them were stunned. Sakura was the first to react and shouted in surprise, "Teacher Iruka!"

Sasuke also showed a hint of surprise, but quickly regained his composure.

Naruto, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.

Teacher Iruka looked at them with a smile and said, "Kids, you have performed extremely well. I have been waiting for you here. Congratulations on successfully passing the test. Although I really want to invite you to eat Ichiraku Ramen, you must gather now."

"Go ahead, everyone. Do your best and strive to get excellent results in the exam."

Naruto nodded vigorously and said, "Teacher Iruka, we will definitely do our best!"

Sakura also responded with enthusiasm: "Teacher, please rest assured!"

Sasuke responded briefly, "Yeah."

Then, the three of them turned around and ran towards the gathering direction, their figures gradually disappearing into the hall.

Iruka looked at the three people going away, and he finally felt relieved. Then he smiled knowingly: "Naruto has really grown up."

When Naruto and the other two arrived at the hall, it was already packed with examinees and invigilators.

Naruto looked around and found that everyone had different expressions. Some candidates looked relaxed, obviously quite satisfied with their performance; others frowned, as if they were still worried about the previous test.

The invigilators had serious expressions, their eyes scanning the examinees. Mitarashi Anko stepped forward and said loudly, "Quiet! Now let's announce the rules for the next round of exams."

The hall fell silent instantly, and everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

Mitarashi Anko cleared her throat and said, "In view of the large number of candidates remaining in this round, the Hokage and the invigilators have decided to add an elimination match. In this elimination match, candidates will be randomly grouped into one-on-one matches. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated. In addition, there are no rules during the competition until one party falls to the ground or dies. I hope everyone will work hard and show their true strength."

When the candidates heard this rule, there was an uproar.

At this moment, Pharmacist Kabuto in the crowd raised his hand and announced that he chose to withdraw from the assessment.

Although all the examiners and candidates were full of doubts, they still agreed to let him withdraw from the exam.

At this moment, Naruto raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "It seems that he has obtained the information he wanted. It was only because of my intervention that Sasuke was not cursed by Orochimaru this time. I wonder how you will deal with it?"

After Mitarashi Anko announced the rules for the next exam.

The Third Hokage immediately walked up quickly.

He swept his eyes over the crowd with dignity and said slowly: "Children, this exam is a great test for you, but also a precious opportunity for your growth. No matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you must stick to your beliefs and give full play to your greatest potential for the sake of the village and peace."

After hearing the speeches of the three generations, the examinees gradually became solemn and resolute. The examinees who were originally hesitant seemed to be encouraged, and their eyes became more determined.

Naruto smiled and cast a look at the Third Hokage, which was full of respect and confidence. The Third Hokage nodded slightly, as if responding to Naruto. Then the Third Hokage said: "Well, the exam will begin now."

The electronic screen on the far wall also began to randomly match the contestants who were about to compete against each other.

A few seconds later, the first match was finally decided: Sasuke VS Akado Kai
