Next, as Sasuke spun his body, his left leg lashed out like a fierce whip kick aimed straight at Shiki's face!
What incredible combat awareness!
Even the jonin surrounding the arena couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Shiki barely managed to throw up a punch to block it, but how could a reactionary strike possibly withstand such a well-planned attack?
Bang!!
Shiki was kicked hard backward.
At the very moment Sasuke Uchiha used Leaf Whirlwind, he had already considered this exact scenario!
Crashing down onto the ground in a heap, Shiki tried to get up immediately—only for three kunai to suddenly appear right before him.
With no way to dodge completely, Shiki caught one kunai heading toward his neck with his hand, but the other two pierced directly into his body.
Blood immediately flowed out, trickling along the kunai and soaking into Shiki's white clothing.
But this still wasn't over—for ninja, as long as the fight hasn't ended, vigilance must never drop!
Sasuke's cold and indifferent nature ensured that he held an absolute advantage precisely in this regard.
Even with victory in sight, he remained calm and kept executing his plan step by step.
[Snake - Ram - Bird - Boar - Ox - Tiger!]
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A massive fireball erupted from Sasuke's mouth, carrying flames intense enough to seemingly burn everything away.
"That's amazing! Sasuke wins!"
"In the end, it turned out like this after all."
"Shiki Uzumaki, who can't use ninjutsu, really seems outmatched against Sasuke now."
The Examiner hadn't declared the result yet, but nearly everyone had already made their judgment.
Shiki Uzumaki has lost.
Lee's face showed disbelief as he clenched his fists tightly—"How is that possible?"
Tenten watched anxiously from the sidelines, her expression equally grim. But unlike ordinary girls, she didn't rush forward to check on Shiki.
Even as a kunoichi, she carried a fearless warrior spirit that rivaled any man's.
She knew the battle wasn't over yet—and so, she shouldn't interfere.
"Please be okay, Shiki."
Shikamaru looked slightly conflicted as he shook his head, "What an annoyingly strong bastard!"
Though he spoke like that, deep down, he knew he was worried about Shiki.
"Come on! Shiki, burst through that fireball and show that cocky guy what you're made of!"
Everyone thought the outcome had already been decided.
But one blond-haired boy shouted back defiantly—Naruto.
Many eyes showed expressions of disgust.
Those older understood immediately—the boy was the Nine-Tails jinchuriki.
Even the younger kids considered him some kind of monster.
"Is that kid just plain stupid?"
Someone asked aloud.
If someone still couldn't see what was happening now, they must have serious issues.
Yet under these circumstances,
nobody noticed—the Examiner hadn't stopped the match.
In fact, none of the jonin had moved either?
Iruka wanted to intervene but was stopped by Hayate Gekko, "Wait a little longer. That kid hasn't lost yet!"
"Not yet defeated?"
Iruka's face was filled with disbelief.
He looked back at the battlefield as the flames cleared away. One person still stood there, like an unyielding stone statue. Even their clothes had become tattered from the fire's scorching heat.
"Hey, Naruto," Shiki said in a weary voice. "Thanks."
The kids were practically popping their eyes out in disbelief. How could this be possible?
How could anyone still be standing after something like that?
Sasuke also wore a stunned expression. He'd originally thought this would be the final blow.
Yet he hadn't expected that for Shiki Uzumaki, it wasn't enough!
At this moment, Iruka, Lee, Tenten, and Shikamaru all wore shocked expressions on their faces.
Even Naruto found it hard to believe. He had merely cheered for Shiki out of habit, not really expecting him to rise again after such an attack.
Asuma Sarutobi took a strong puff of his cigarette, only to realize how little remained in his mouth.
As the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he naturally knew about the Uzumaki clan. After all, that blood-red swirl symbolizing the Uzumaki clan is behind every Konoha ninja!
Kurenai asked in astonishment, "How can that child stand again?"
In her mind, no child—not even one with intense training—should survive, let alone stand, under an A-rank ninjutsu.
After all, they hadn't gone through training like the Raikage.
Asuma lit another cigarette and replied, "Because that boy is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan—a clan possessing shocking vitality and incredible regenerative abilities."
Severe pain continued to accompany Shiki.
