I promote boxing in the world of Konoha

"Very good!"

In the audience, Ino jumped up and shouted.

She understands Shikamaru and knows that as long as she uses shadow imitation to control the enemy, victory will be within easy reach.

Chōji on the side was also very happy, munching potato chips: "Shikamaru is so smart, it's normal for him to win.

"You two, don't be too happy, it's not over yet." Asuma poured some cold water aside.

Ino was puzzled: "Didn't Shikamaru control Naruto?"

Asuma looked at the panting Shikamaru in the field, and he knew that this kid's Chakra had reached its limit.

Continuously controlling Naruto's Shadow Clone is a huge drain on Chakra. Especially controlling multiple clones at the same time requires twice as much Chakra and energy. Shikamaru is now on the verge of reaching his limit.

There is one chance left to take action

Asuma thought to himself: If Shikamaru cannot defeat Naruto next time, he will be the one who fails.

"hateful!"

Naruto felt his body was out of control and gritted his teeth in anger.

He didn't expect that he would be touched by this strange shadow technique. He didn't expect that Shikamaru would naturally use his Shadow Clone to get close to him!

"Naruto, if you don't admit defeat, I will vote out."

Shikamaru took out a kunai, and although Naruto did the same thing, there was no kunai in the position he took.

This is the characteristic of the Nara clan. Because of the shadow imitation technique, the storage location of the ninja tools is also different from other ninjas.

"Hmph! I won't admit defeat!"

Naruto was completely stubborn and didn't know how to write the word "admit defeat".

He stared at the kunai in Shikamaru's hand, as if he didn't care that it might hit his vital part.

This guy...……

Shikamaru also complained in his heart, his physical strength and Chakra were almost exhausted, and this blow would be the last one.

"Whoosh!"

The kunai flew out, and he was not aiming at Naruto's vitals, but at his waist.

Attacking there will not kill anyone, but it will cause severe pain and cause loss of fighting ability.

Precisely because it would not kill anyone, the referee Shiranui Genma did not stop the kunai and watched it enter Naruto's body.

"Well!"

Naruto screamed in pain, and almost at the same time, Shikamaru's Chakra could no longer maintain the shadow imitation technique, and the shadow was withdrawn. Naruto, who lost his restraints, fell directly to the ground.

"it's over……………"

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he would never fight such a troublesome battle next time.

He turned to look at Shiranui Genma, wanting to wait for him to announce the result.

However, Shiranui Genma smiled at him: "See what I'm doing? You haven't won yet.

......What?

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then looked at the fallen Naruto, and was shocked to find that the latter was slowly standing up with his hands on the ground!

"How can it be?!"

He couldn't help but blurt out.

Many knowledgeable ninjas in the stands were also shocked. They knew that the human waist is actually very fragile. After being inserted by a kunai, although timely treatment will not kill or maim the person, it will cause pain for several days and make it impossible to fight anymore.

As a result, Naruto... was able to get up on his own without treatment?

"How……………"

Ino and Chōji were both stunned, and Asuma said: "Shikamaru lost."

Not only him, but all Jōnin have come to this result, and they are all thinking: Is this the resilience brought by Nine Tails Chakra?

"Come on Naruto!"

Little Sakura shouted happily from the stands. In fact, she was not particularly worried about Naruto. She had seen Naruto's power in the Land of Waves and the Forest of Death, and she also knew that his resilience was amazing.

Others have suffered some minor injuries or skin injuries, and may need to be bandaged and applied with medicine. It will take a few days for them to recover. But Naruto, when he suffered such a small injury, he didn't even need to care about it. It would heal and stop bleeding in a short time, and the scar would be gone in a few days.

This is what little Sakura saw with her own eyes after her battle with Zabuza in the Land of Waves.

So, now that she saw him being stabbed by Shikamaru's kunai, she didn't think like others that Naruto had been defeated.

"Naruto-kun…………"

Hinata was relieved when she saw this scene. Hanabi, who was sitting aside, couldn't help joking: "Sister Hinata, do you care about him so much?"

"Where, where is there..."

"Obviously there is!"

Hinata blushed so much that she couldn't speak. Their father, Hyuga Hiashi, was too lazy to pay attention to such matters of love between children. What he focused on was Naruto's terrifying potential.

t......

"Idiot Shikamaru... I haven't lost yet!"

Naruto stood up with his hands on his waist, his eyes were very firm.

"Don't get too happy too early, you guy!!"

"...it's really a headache."

Shikamaru sighed and suddenly raised his hand: "I admit defeat.

Suddenly, the audience exclaimed.

Shiranui Genma was not surprised, but said appreciatively: "A wise choice." After saying that, he immediately announced: "In the third round, Uzumaki Naruto wins."

"Xu..."

"Why are you still admitting defeat?"

"Fight till the end! This is so boring!"

There were boos in the stands, and some even threw water bottles down.

Shikamaru yawned and turned to leave the field.

"Hey...wait!"

Only then did Naruto react, regardless of his waist injury, he ran directly in front of Shikamaru and grabbed him, his eyes widening.

"Why do you want to admit defeat!!!"

..........I have exhausted my Chakra, why don’t I admit defeat?”

"But...………"

"But what?" Shikamaru said, "You have to beat me down before you give up?"

Naruto didn't know what to say, but he just felt that a battle shouldn't end like this.

He got up, ready to show off his skills, but when Shikamaru gave in, all his wishes came to nothing.

"Naruto, you are not like those viewers."

"The audience... why are they like this?"

Naruto looked up and found that many spectators were booing, and some were very angry and throwing things down.

"Because they want to see more exciting and bloody scenes. If they want to see one of us lying on the ground and never get up, it's better to have some blood and flesh... You are just like them, you must Do you feel happy to have won by knocking me to the ground?"

Naruto was stunned, he definitely wouldn't think so. But his idea is that "the battle should last until the last second." The two ideas are different, but the result seems to be the same.

Shikamaru finished speaking and left. Naruto stayed for a while. At this time, the medical team came and took him away. This round was considered over.

When Third Generation saw this scene, they also had some appreciation in their eyes. What he admired was Shikamaru's mind, and such talents were even rarer in Konoha.

Asuma patted Shikamaru on the shoulder who returned to the stands: "You performed well. Although you lost, in our Jōnin's opinion, you are more likely to become a Chūnin than Naruto."

"Then there will be more trouble..."

"Haha, life is a troublesome process, just get used to it."

Shikamaru curled his lips and collapsed on the seat. He thought that if this was life, it would be really miserable.

On the other side, in the third class, Tiantian and Xiao Li didn't quite understand how Naruto could still stand up.

They are in the taijutsu class, and they know better than other ninjas where the human body is fragile and hard, where hitting it will make people numb, and hitting it will make people unable to move, power plants, or even death.

In their opinion, Naruto shouldn't be able to stand up after being hit by that kunai.

Guy explained at this time: "Naruto's physique is a little different, you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"oh"

Tiantian nodded, but Xiao Li didn't care anymore. He lay on the ground and began to do push-ups quickly.

Two hands, one hand, two hands, one hand... alternately rotate, already doing warm-up exercises.

"The following is the last game of the first round."

Shiranui Genma announced.

"Rock Lee vs. Uchiha Sasuke."
