Hokage: I really don't want to work hard!Kakashi

After the two stood face to face, Naruto picked up a stone on the ground and threw it twice in his hand.

"Watch carefully, the competition will begin the moment this stone hits the ground. Whoever takes the initiative depends on who reacts faster. You don't have any objections, right?"

Sasuke nodded, Izumi did the same, Naruto nodded too, and Naruto threw the stone into the air.

After the upward force of the stone disappeared, it fell rapidly. The moment it landed, Sasuke took out his kunai and rushed towards Izumi, trying to take the initiative. But in fact, Izumi's reaction was faster, but he did not take the initiative, but waited. Sasuke just attacked first.

Sasuke stabbed Quan's abdomen with a kunai. Quan blocked it with a kunai and punched Sasuke in the face. Sasuke's legs were slightly bent and his body was short. He dodged the punch and grabbed Quan's arm and turned around. I want an over-the-shoulder throw.

Izumi used this force to turn over in the air and distanced himself from Sasuke before starting to form a seal. Sasuke also quickly formed a seal when he saw this.

"Fire escape · Howe Fireball!"

"Fire escape · Howe Fireball!"

Although it was Izumi who formed the seal first, it was Sasuke who spit out the fireball first. Two fireballs of about the same size collided together, causing a flame explosion and a heat wave.

Sasuke opened his Sharingan, and when the flames dissipated, he rushed towards the spring again, throwing out two kunai on the way, and then lightning flashed in his hand.

Quan used kunai to knock down two kunai, but this was exactly the effect Sasuke wanted. At this time, he had already come to Quan with Chidori in hand.

Chidori hit Izumi on the shoulder. Izumi didn't panic or retreat at all. Instead, he grabbed Sasuke's wrist at a very fast speed and slammed it to the ground.

boom!

The Chidori hit the ground with a loud noise, and the ground immediately collapsed and a big hole was made. When the Chidori dissipated, Izumi tossed Sasuke and threw him out.

Sasuke stabilized his body in the air and landed smoothly, already breathing slightly.

"As expected of an ANBU, he is indeed strong enough, but I will not admit defeat!"

Sasuke threw out two shurikens and formed another seal. Izumi still easily knocked down the shurikens, but Sasuke had already completed the seal during this gap.

"Fire escape · Howe Fireball!"

The huge fireball swept towards the spring, and was about to engulf the spring, but a wall of earth suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the fireball.

"What? When did you form the seal?"

Sasuke shouted in disbelief. When the flames dissipated, Izumi walked out from behind the wall, raised the hand holding the kunai and pointed at Sasuke, while the other hand was forming a single-handed seal.

"It turned out to be a one-handed seal!"

Sasuke was frightened again, but he quickly calmed down. His Sharingan stared at Quan, his legs slightly bent, and all the muscles in his body were tense.

"Fire Escape·Phoenix Immortal Fire!"

A series of six basketball-sized fireballs flew towards Sasuke from different angles. Sasuke was already prepared. He rolled to avoid them and then jumped up and threw out the kunai.

Quan tilted his head to avoid, and the electric light flashed in Sasuke's hand again. A light as thick as two fingers flew out from the electric light, piercing Quan's shoulder like a sharp sword. But before the electric light could reach Quan, Sasuke's body suddenly stiffened. The electric light in his hand dissipated, and he lay down straight, with sweat dripping out. He clenched his teeth, his face was distorted, and he was suffering from great pain.

Izumi slowly walked up to Sasuke and knelt down, stretched out a finger and put it on Sasuke's forehead.

"Actually, the winner has already been decided from the beginning, but I just want to see how capable you are. Now it seems that you are not bad. Among the genin, you are considered to be relatively good, but you are still far from it."

Sasuke raised his eyes and looked at Izumi, his lips kept twitching and wanted to speak, but because he had to endure the severe pain, he couldn't open his mouth, so he couldn't speak.

Just when Sasuke felt that his spirit was about to collapse, the severe pain suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, leaving no trace.

Sasuke's body relaxed and he lay on his back gasping for air, still not fully recovering.

"What the hell is going on?"

"So you didn't realize it? It was an illusion. If your eyes were three magatama, you might be able to realize that you were under an illusion. Two magatama is too reluctant."

Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief. The Sharingan was naturally resistant to genjutsu. Although the strength of the resistance depended on the degree of development of the Sharingan, he did not believe that the Sharingan that already possessed two Magatama You will be completely unaware that you are under an illusion.

"Illusion? You mean, I fell into your illusion unknowingly, and I didn't notice it yet?"

"Believe it or not, you were already under my illusion the moment the stone fell. Do you still remember that you were injured on your shoulder?"

Izumi pointed at Sasuke's shoulder. Only then did Sasuke notice that a hole had been cut in the clothes on his shoulder. The skin could be clearly seen, and the skin was stained with blood. But if you look closely, you will find that There was only blood, no wounds.

"Injured? Is my shoulder injured?"

Sasuke frowned, trying to remember whether he had been injured, but no matter how hard he recalled, he couldn't remember.

"I was injured? Then why are there no wounds?"

"It's not that there are no wounds, it's just that when you didn't notice, I had already healed your wounds. I didn't know when I was injured or when I was healed. That's why I said you were still injured. It’s far away.”

Izumi mocked Sasuke mercilessly, and Sasuke fell silent without speaking.

Naruto, who had been watching the battle, saw that the time was almost up, so he came over and acted as peacemaker.

"Okay, now that the winner has been decided, let's go to dinner. Sasuke, you have to treat us. This is what we agreed to."

Sasuke looked at Naruto and then at Izumi. Although he cared more about Izumi, it was agreed in advance, and if they could eat together, they could also take the opportunity to have more contact.

"Okay, where to eat?"

"You pay for it, of course you have the final say."

"Go get some barbecue."

The three of them came to the barbecue restaurant. As soon as the meat came up, Naruto started to eat it. Sasuke was not in the mood to eat at all and kept staring at Izumi. Izumi sat next to Naruto and didn't eat because of his mask. As a result, Almost all the barbecue ordered was eaten by Naruto.

At night, Naruto was sleeping in the house, and Quan rested under the tree outside Naruto's house. Although she had a room in the hotel, she did not go because she expected that Sasuke would come to see her today. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, , Sasuke came to Quan through the night.

"Are you here to see Naruto? What's the emergency at this late hour?"

"No, I'm here to find you. Who are you?"

Sasuke's Sharingan glowed red in the darkness and he stared at Izumi, but Izumi just laughed.
