Chapter 78 Don’t Underestimate Sasuke’s Nine Generations of Inheritance

"Activate the barrier, now!"

The examiner felt his scalp tingling when he saw Sasuke and Tenten throwing out a large number of Ninja Tools.

The arena wasn't that large, so many of the shuriken they threw whizzed dangerously close to the spectators' heads.

If they let these two guys continue like this, sooner or later, there will be casualties among the audience.

The Konoha's examiners immediately leaped to the edges of the battlefield, formed hand seals to create a barrier, sealing the two combatants inside.

From the second-floor spectator stands, Naruto watched the two duke it out with sheer financial might and his blood boiled with excitement.

He grabbed the railing and started yelling, "Damn it!"

"Don't you dare underestimate the power of Sasuke's nine generations of inheritance!"

A thoroughly embarrassed Kakashi and Sakura quickly distanced themselves from him.

Only Hinata, whose face turned slightly red, looked at Naruto tenderly.

Sakura glanced at Hinata and suddenly remembered what happened to Naruto and Sasuke.

After hesitating for three seconds, she walked over to Hinata and started talking to her in a low voice.

Naruto noticed the conversation between the two, but the distance was a bit far, so he didn't hear clearly what Sakura and Hinata was talking about.

However, Hinata kept gasping in shock, her expression shifting between disbelief and astonishment as she occasionally glanced his way.

When Naruto saw Hinata's reaction, he thought she was worried about him, so he immediately winked at her and smiled.

Just as Naruto and Hinata were flirting with each other…

Down in the arena, Sasuke and Tenten took out even more scrolls.

"Hey!!"

"How come you, an Uchiha, have so many sealing scrolls on you?!"

Tenten was shocked to see Sasuke pull out another batch of scrolls.

'Sure, the Uchiha Clan was famous for their Shurikenjutsu...'

'But why does it feel like you threw more shurikens than I did?!'

"Hmph."

"You… are mediocre."

Sasuke delivered the line with peak arrogance, and then threw ten scrolls in front of him at the same time. He formed hand seals, and then continued to throw wave after wave of Ninja Tools at Tenten's dodging figure.

Tens of thousands of shuriken filled the air like a lethal rainstorm.

After emptying his sealing scrolls, Sasuke crossed his arms, then clenched his fists and yanked them back sharply.

Many of the thrown projectiles tied with steel wires abruptly changed trajectory.

Originally, those shurikens only covered the front side, but under his operation, countless shurikens changed their attack trajectories and shot in on Tenten from every conceivable angle.

At this moment, the Ninja Tools thrown by Sasuke were enough to rival the simultaneous attack of a thousand-man army.

Naruto, who was in the audience stands, couldn't help but imagine Sasuke leading his entire clan into battle against Tenten.

"You… "

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"No Uchiha fights like you!"

Tenten did not forget to complain to Sasuke while struggling to escape from the rain of shurikens.

Although she is not as agile as Neji and Lee, her reflex is still one of the best among the current Genin.

Even then, Tenten couldn't remain unscathed from the thousands of shurikens.

Within moments, many cuts and gashes appeared on her body.

And Sasuke…

He's still trying to take out more sealing scrolls!!!

He gave her no breathing room whatsoever.

Tenten could barely dodge now, let alone take out her own sealing scrolls to counterattack.

But what frustrated Tenten most is...

Her maneuvering space was getting smaller and smaller. At this rate, in under two minutes, the entire arena would be filled with Sasuke's shuriken, leaving her no room to stand.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Just as Tenten was on the verge of collapse, she suddenly heard a series of sharp whistles cut through the air.

She subconsciously tried to dodge, but found that these shurikens were not aimed at her at all.

Sasuke stood there with his hands wrapped in wires.

"Give up!"

"There's nowhere left to run."

As Sasuke finished his words, Tenten, who was about to dodge, stopped moving.

Seeing this scene, Gaara's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"interesting."

Under the arena's lighting, it was not difficult to see that the entire arena was covered with steel wires. Now, if Tenten moved even a little bit, those steel wires would take her life.

Sasuke's actions really surprised everyone present.

However, they are mostly silent.

Because, by rough estimate, Sasuke had just thrown out nearly a hundred thousand shuriken.

And that wasn't even counting the Explosive Tags he'd tossed in earlier...

All the Shinobi from Takigakure had complicated expressions. It's because, the Ninja Tools thrown by Sasuke in this battle were more than the Ninja Tools exceeded their entire village's armory!

When Hiruzen saw the arena filled with shurikens, he tremblingly took out his medicine bottles.

'Such a wasteful fighting style...'

'It must have been Naruto who taught him!'

Hiruzen was now beginning to worry about the future of the Konoha's Shinobi.

'If everyone learns Sasuke's fighting style, it won't be long before Konoha Village go bankrupt...'

'Hiss…'

Thinking of this, Hiruzen felt his blood pressure rising again.

"I give up..."

"By the way, how many scrolls do you have left?"

After Tenten admitted defeat, she immediately complained about Sasuke.

She couldn't shake the feeling that she was seeing a twisted reflection of her own fighting style in Sasuke's.

Sasuke snorted coldly and lifted up his cloak, revealing the densely packed small sealing scrolls inside.

Just from the visible sections on either side of his torso, one could estimate he still had dozens more scrolls ready to go.

"HEY!!"

"What the hell is wrong with you!?"

"You're not going to fight me with your clan's entire fortune, are you!?"

Tenten's soul was leaving her body.

She thought that it was already outrageous enough for her to bring a dozen of sealing scrolls.

But as a result, this boy in front of her...

'Including the ones he'd already used, he must have over a hundred?!'

'Could it be that he exchanged all his entire inheritance for Ninja Tools?!'

The sheer absurdity of Sasuke's display left the audience in stunned silence.

'We are all Shinobi here...'

'But this is just ruthless!!!'

'Doesn't this kid not need to eat?!'

No one could even begin to calculate how much money Sasuke'd used to buy these Ninja Tools.

Even Naruto was starting to feel secondhand financial pain from this.

He had previously asked Sasuke how many sealing scrolls he had.

But this kid is stubborn. No matter how he asks, Sasuke always brushed it off with a 'Not many'.

What Naruto shouted about the power of the nine generations of inheritance just now was just a joke.

'But now it seemed...'

'Sasuke might have actually sold off all of his clan's assets!!'

'It really was the power of nine generations.'

"Cough… cough, cough…"

"Second match's winner... Uchiha Sasuke."

Hayate instantly arrived at the arena, found a place to stand, and announced the results.

Afterwards, he kindly helped Tenten disentangle herself from the steel wires.

After the match, Sasuke didn't leave immediately. Instead, he hunched over like an old farmer, meticulously collecting every last one of his Ninja Tools.

Unlike the high-spirited moment when he threw the shuriken just now, Sasuke looked utterly pathetic when he was retrieving these Ninja Tools.

When Naruto, who was watching from the sidelines, saw his teammate's embarrassing action, he couldn't hold back his laughter, mercilessly roasting his friend.

"PFFFT— HAHAHAHA! Sasuke, you looked so cool throwing those Ninja Tools earlier..."

"SHUT UP!"

Sasuke's face flushed with embarrassment as he snapped back.

He felt a little embarrassed to collect these Ninja Tools in front of everyone.

But there was no way around it. There are too many Ninja Tools used this time, so they must be recovered.

Seeing that the recycling work was not going so fast, Hayate coughed twice and announced a one-hour break before the next match.

Just after he announced this, Naruto quietly came to Hayate and whispered...

"Uncle Hayate…"

"I saw some guy going home with your girlfriend yesterday..."

Clink…

Hayate was stunned for half a second, and the senbon in his mouth fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His expression cycled through shock, denial, and anguish, and then his face wrinkled as if he was wearing a mask of pure despair, and tears continued to fall from the corners of his eyes.

With a heartbroken wail, Hayate screamed,

"I KNEW IT!!"

Naruto: '…Huh?'
