After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 55, Preliminary Round 1: Sasuke in a Tough Battle

There's nothing much to say about the next few days.

The three members of Class 7 rested in the central tower and spent a fairly comfortable time there.

In between, there were several more live streams, but those were for showcasing other teams, and Qianyu did not appear on camera.

The only noteworthy thing is that Chiba successfully extracted Karin's mother's name from her.

Of course, it doesn't matter what Karin's mother's name is. Chiba isn't a son-in-law who's going to propose to his mother-in-law. His main goal is to get her mother's surname.

Just as she guessed, Karin herself did not have a surname, but her mother was a member of the Uzumaki clan who had escaped from that generation, and therefore had the surname Uzumaki.

Although it's unclear why the Uzumaki clan members from all corners of the world would rather rot to death in small countries than come to Konoha, their nominal best relative.

Qianyu suspected that there might be countless filthy things hidden inside, which was why the scattered members of the Whirlpool Clan hated it so much.

But that was something from the previous generation.

Currently, Konoha only has Naruto Uzumaki. If Naruto loses control, the vast village of Konoha may not even be able to find a second person with the potential to become a Jinchuriki.

In terms of value, Karin, a girl who has clearly inherited the life force of the Uzumaki clan, is extremely precious.

So Chiba directly told Iruka about Karin's existence, and Iruka then relayed it to Kakashi.

With Kakashi's intelligence, there are some things he understands without needing to be told them.

Staying in Konoha is better than staying in Kusagakure.

Moreover, the Third Hokage is about to die, and Tsunade will be returning soon, which would be even better for Karin.

Just as Chiba had predicted, only half a day after she told Iruka about it, the Third Hokage's special ANBU arrived and quickly took Karin away, as if they were afraid someone would try to take her away from them.

As for the Grass Ninja, presumably someone else will negotiate with them.

In short, the matter of Karin has come to an end.

A few days later, the seven teams that successfully passed the assessment stood on the first floor of the central tower.

Chiyu glanced around silently and found that the people who passed the test this time were still the same ones: Team 7, Team 8, Team 10, Team 2, Kabuto's team, the three Sand Ninja siblings, and the Sound Ninja.

The only difference is that this time the Sound Ninja team has been replaced by Guren's Sound Ninja squad; otherwise, everything is the same.

After the Third Hokage explained the significance of the Chunin Exams miniature war, Hayate Gekko appeared and announced that a preliminary round would be held before the third exam.

Then, just like in the original story, Kabuto Yakushi exited.

Naruto looked at Sasuke with some concern: "Hey, is your cursed seal alright?"

"It's alright!" Sasuke shook his head. "I've rested for so many days already, I just need to use less chakra!"

"This would have been very troublesome for me before, but now... all I need to do is borrow a knife from Chiyu!"

Sasuke's own sword was destroyed during his battle with Orochimaru.

"Is everything alright?" Sasuke asked Chiba.

“No problem!” Qianyu nodded.

It's just borrowing a knife, not borrowing a wife.

After the brief incident, the electronic board for selecting opponents in the preliminary rounds appeared.

Everyone looked up.

Then, a rapid series of name changes occurred.

Two names appeared on the electronic screen.

However, this time the duel was not between Sasuke and the Copper Armor.

It was Sasuke and Misumi!

Seeing this result, Moonlight Gale said:

"The two selected individuals, please come forward! The rest of you, please wait in the stands on either side."

"Is the first match going to be mine?" Sasuke was quite surprised.

Chiba was the same: "The original bronze armor was replaced with sword-wielding Misumi!"

"I remember that Misumi Kensuke's ability is to extend and retract her limbs, right? It's just that her limbs can extend and retract, it's not like she has the Gum-Gum Fruit. Why is it him?"

Because Chiba remembered that Orochimaru's goal should have been to get Sasuke to use the cursed seal.

Given Misumi's abilities, wouldn't Sasuke just be killing indiscriminately with a sword?

Even though Orochimaru already knew that Sasuke knew swordsmanship, he still made this arrangement...

There is a conspiracy!

While handing Sasuke the sword, Chiba couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful, I feel like something's off about that person!"

"You said it wasn't right?" Sasuke frowned, then immediately became serious. "I understand! I'll take it seriously!"

"Yes, that's good. Keep it up, don't lose!"

Seeing Sasuke's attitude, Chiba patted Sasuke on the shoulder with satisfaction: "I'd really like to have a serious fight with you!"

"Hmph!" A faint smile appeared on Sasuke's lips. "And what about me?"

"Don't hold back then!" Sasuke then looked at Naruto: "Of course, you should too!"

"Huh?" Naruto, who had been feeling a bit ostracized, was taken aback by Sasuke's words.

Seeing that Chiba and Sasuke were both borrowing a knife and arranging a duel, he originally thought it had nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke even pulled him back at the end. Sasuke really cares about him!

"That's right!" Naruto's fighting spirit soared, his smile radiant. "I'll be ready to kill you when we fight, Sasuke! Don't let me beat you to a pulp!"

"Hmph, you're such a loser!" Sasuke shook his head dismissively.

But no matter who it is, as long as they see the obvious smile on his lips, they can tell what Sasuke is really feeling at this moment.

For a time, the atmosphere inside Class 7 reached a new level of excellence.

Naruto and Chiba then said goodbye to Sasuke and headed towards the stands.

However, everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet, and some people will have different understandings of this scene.

Strange comments appeared.

"Sasuke, just spoil him!"

"Naruto really is the female lead!"

"Aww, they're from XXX, this couple is so cute!"

"Yes, Sasuke immediately went to comfort Naruto when he saw him looking down. He's so sweet!"

Seeing these obviously pornographic comments, some people quickly couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

"Hey, you guys with your yaoi-obsessed eyes are really going too far. This is just normal brotherhood, okay?"

But soon someone came out to refute: "Okay, then please explain why, with a great beauty like Chiyu in the team, neither Naruto nor Sasuke likes her."

"Ah, this..." Everyone fell silent.

Because of this, they really—cannot understand!

What's even more amazing is the next comment in the live chat.

"Chiyu: So, am I also part of your Play?"

"Meow meow meow?" Qianyu typed a question mark after seeing the same comment.

In the original story, Sakura was there to distract Naruto. Now that she's here, Naruto is only looking at Sasuke. So, could she really become part of their game?

Qianyu: What's wrong with this seventh class? I'm lost in thought, and I'm asking this question.

Fortunately, the sound of Moonlight Gale soon rang out, interrupting Qianyu's somewhat dangerous thoughts.

"The first match will be between Uchiha Sasuke and Tsurugi Misumi. Does anyone have any questions?"

“No!” Sasuke and Misumi said at the same time.

“Then…” Moonlight Gale raised his hand high, then brought it down: “The contest begins!”

As soon as Hayate Gekko finished speaking, Misumi Kensuke charged at Sasuke with both feet, intending to get close.

"Charging straight at me? How confident!"

Remembering Chiba's warning, Sasuke, despite having a knife in his hand, still did not intend to let Misumi get close.

His hands moved in a series of blurs, and three sharp kunai formed an equilateral triangle, locking onto Kenmei's eyes and throat!

Seeing such a perfect throw, Kakashi's eyes lit up. "You've improved again, Sasuke!"

He then looked at Kenmei, wanting to know how she would respond.

However, a surprising scene unfolded.

Faced with Sasuke's kunai throw, Misumi Kenji didn't dodge or evade, but instead used her hands to protect her face and neck as she charged in.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

The sharp kunai collided with Misumi's arm, ultimately producing the sound of a hard object hitting a tire.

When faced with Sasuke's sharp kunai, Kenji only suffered a few shallow scratches on her arm where the kunai hit her.

The skin is broken, but that's all!

"What!!?"

Sasuke was clearly caught off guard by Misumi's defensive prowess.

He jumped back several times in succession, then fired his ninja tools as he retreated, keeping the sword-wielding Misumi like a kite.

No matter where Sasuke aimed his ninja tools at Misumi, he would simply protect her with his hand, and then everything would be fine.

Even though Sasuke displayed a series of tricky Uchiha shuriken techniques, attacking Kensuke's body with shuriken all at once, Kensuke simply extended her arms, forming a fleshy armor around herself, and then ignored it.

In front of Kensuke Misumi, the Uchiha's ninja tools, which were always known for their excellence, seemed to be fake!

Seeing Jian Meicheng's performance, teasing comments appeared in the live stream chat.

"Great, our ninja world should have its own Straw Hat Boy too."

You remind me of someone I used to know!

"Who is it? Where are you from? Nobody here. I'll say it again: It's the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Mode!"

However, the people at the scene weren't as relaxed as those watching on live stream.

"How could this happen?!" Naruto, watching this bizarre scene, gripped the railing tightly in fear.

"Is this what Orochimaru prepared for Sasuke?" Chiba frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing as well.

She had jokingly referred to it as the Gum-Gum Fruit when she was talking to herself, but now Kenji has truly become the Straw Hat Luffy, or rather, Luffy after he has acquired Haki. His arms can not only retract but also possess extraordinary toughness, to the point that even sharp weapons cannot cut through them.

It has to be said that what would have been a simple fireball attack in the past is now a real disadvantage for Sasuke, who is not very good at using chakra.

Even she couldn't come up with a solution to this situation in a short time.

At this point, after circling the large battle arena three times, the two stopped.

Sasuke started breathing slightly.

Maintaining accurate shooting while constantly pursuing and fleeing is undoubtedly an extremely physically demanding task.

Seeing his expression, Kenmei's small eyes beneath her round-framed glasses revealed a hint of smugness: "You're already tired! The renowned Uchiha, is that all you've got? But this won't be enough to defeat me!"

"Hmph, don't get cocky, you bastard!" Sasuke gritted his teeth.

Through his observation, he realized that while Kenmei's abilities were indeed troublesome for him, they were not without weaknesses; the only thing that made her defense so strong was her hands.

As long as you can get around those hands and attack vital points, that's enough.

However, as the other party said, simply flying kites and shooting ninja tools is not enough.

Sasuke then drew the sword he had borrowed from Chiba.

"Are we going to use weapons?!" Kenmei's expression hardened.

Although his hands had been greatly enhanced in terms of defense under Orochimaru's temporary modifications, they were still somewhat vulnerable to continuous cuts from sharp weapons, unlike kunai thrown at him.

Fortunately, he has different tactics for different situations.

The two charged at each other again.

"White Fang Sword Technique, First Form: Slash! Second Form: Thrust! Third Form: Cleave! Fourth Form: Sweep!"

Sasuke continuously used the basic sword techniques he had copied from Chiba.

Although it was copied, Sasuke has been practicing on his own in private for many days.

At this moment, whether the long sword is slashing horizontally from left to right, thrusting from back to front, chopping down from top to bottom, or slashing upwards from bottom to top, it is all done with great skill.

Furthermore, combined with the part of the White Fang Sword Technique that stimulates his own body, Sasuke's sword speed was extremely fast, almost like a halo of light.

But after demonstrating the softness of her hands, Kenji quickly revealed the softness of her entire body.

He would either dodge by shifting his neck backward or his waist and hips backward, and with the defensive power of his hands, the two fought to a standstill.

After all, no matter how sharp Sasuke's sword is, it's useless if it can't hit the target.

However, at this point, even though they are evenly matched, they are still evenly matched. Furthermore, the fact that Misumi can make her body flexible will consume chakra. In a prolonged battle, Sasuke will clearly have the advantage.

However, after a period of stalemate.

Sasuke unleashed a powerful and satisfying slash, and Kensuke Misumi was unable to dodge in time, resulting in a clear gash across her waist and abdomen.

But just as everyone's spirits lifted and Sasuke was about to press his advantage,

"Ouch!" A sharp pain suddenly shot through the back of Sasuke's neck!

Sasuke froze.

"It's finally here!" Kenmei's eyes lit up at the sight.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand, like a snake, and wrapped it around Sasuke's sword several times before finally grabbing Sasuke's arm.

Then, Kenmei twisted and pulled with all her might.

"Ding-a-ling!"

Sasuke let go of his sword and it fell to the ground. He was then held firmly by Misumi's hands and feet, her strong arms choking his throat!

And this is the long-lost Asian bondage technique!

"Sasuke!!!" Naruto cried out in concern.

"Hehehe!" Kenmei chuckled in a low voice: "Your teammates are very worried about you. They've been shouting and yelling since the start of the battle."

"How about we just admit defeat? We can't let your teammates worry for too long!"

"Ugh!" Sasuke blushed and remained silent.

At this moment, Kenmei seemed to realize something and apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot, I tied you up too tightly, you can't speak!"

"It's okay, relax, it'll be over soon!"

Kenmei silently increased the strength in her arm, intending to suffocate Sasuke to death.

Under the restraint of Misumi Kensuke, Sasuke struggled more and more weakly, until he was completely powerless.

It was clear that those obsidian-like eyes were about to roll completely upwards.

Just when everyone else was greatly disappointed, thinking that the mighty Uchiha were all gone.

Naruto called out again: "Sass!!"

"You're so noisy, Naruto!"

Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, his blood-red Sharingan meeting Misumi's gaze directly.

"Sharingan, oh no!" Kenmei hurriedly tried to close her eyes.

However, Sasuke used his genjutsu first.

"The Enchanted Technique: The Abyss's Appearance!"

"Ahhhh!"

The terrifying scene began to echo in Kenmei's mind.

Because he was under the influence of the genjutsu, the hand binding Sasuke loosened.

Sasuke successfully broke free from Misumi's restraints, then grabbed the long sword from the ground, ready to finish her off.

"We won!" Naruto exclaimed, pumping his fist in delight at the sight.

But just as his longsword pierced Kenmei's right shoulder, and blood spurted out...

"Ugh!" Sasuke cried out in pain again.

Because of the use of the Sharingan, the cursed seal was finally activated, and the fiery cloud-like patterns started to spread from the back of Sasuke's neck and instantly covered half of his body!

"That's right! Use its power even more, Sasuke-kun!"

Orochimaru, disguised as a Jonin teacher from the Sound Ninja, revealed a glint of excitement in his eyes.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, she would even want to stick her tongue out and lick her lips a few times.

"Has the cursed seal been activated again, Sasuke?" Chiba's expression was also solemn.

Cursed seals are extremely corrosive. Sasuke managed to suppress them in the original work, but it's hard to say whether he can suppress them here.

After all, in the original work he was only having his chakra absorbed, but here he used the Sharingan.

And most importantly, his opponent, Kenmi Sumi, is not dead either!

Stimulated by the pain, Misumi Kensuke broke free from Sasuke's genjutsu and grinned maliciously at him.

His still-mobile left hand wrapped around Sasuke's neck again, then tightened its grip!

"Die, Uchiha Sasuke!"
