In the bathroom, after Sakura washed her hands, she touched her hair as a habit. Then she remembered that her long hair had been cut off by herself during the second exam. Sakura touched the end of her hair with her fingers, because
It was cut with a kunai, so the ends of the hair were uneven and didn't feel that good.
Suddenly, Sakura spotted a figure in the mirror. She took a closer look and said, "Ino?"
"You're scared! Sakura." Ino leaned against the door with an arrogant tone. Seeing that Sakura didn't reply, she continued: "Shifengyuan, Li, and Shino, who has always been unknown, are so powerful. I originally thought Sasuke was very powerful.
, I didn’t expect him to have such a difficult fight. How should I put it? It’s because of Sasuke that you can reach this point! I really don’t know what will happen to you in this selection. I think you should give up.
!”
Sakura looked at her short hair in the mirror and said with an extremely serious expression: "You have to figure out who will abstain!" After saying that, she turned around to go out. When she saw Ino next to her, she said with a confident smile:
"I really hope I can play soon!"
"Wow, that's very impressive!" Yakumo and Hinata just walked in. After hearing what Sakura said, Hinata felt a little sad. She was the one who just gave up! And Yakumo gave it up full of energy.
Sakura gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "No matter what, keep working hard!"
"Come on!" Hinata came back to her senses and encouraged her in a low voice.
"Hmph, if I meet you, I won't hold back!" Ino looked at Sakura and Yakumo, and suddenly became very angry.
Yakumo was stunned for a moment, and said not to be outdone: "Then please defeat me with all your strength!"
"Ah, as you said, I have the urge to play early!" Ino chuckled, waved to a few people and left. Sakura smiled politely and followed suit.
Looking at the backs of the two girls, Hinata reminded in a low voice: "Ino and Sakura were at the top of the class back then! Yakumo should be careful when meeting them."
"Yeah, I understand." Yakumo nodded with a smile.
When these children came back, Kankuro's game was over. He put away the puppet and walked off the field easily. When Sakura walked to Naruto, she heard Naruto complaining that all the contestants were...
Strange guy, Kakashi complained about Naruto by the way, causing Sakura to chuckle a few times.
"Now is not the time to laugh." Kakashi put a hand on Sakura's shoulder and pointed his index finger at the electronic screen. Sakura turned around and saw 'Haruno Sakura VS Xiangling' displayed on the screen!
"Sakura, come on!" Naruto shouted excitedly, as if he was playing.
"Don't lose!" Sasuke said calmly. Sakura looked at her two companions and said crisply, "Yeah!"
"It's Xiang Ling!" Yakumo came back, patted Xiang Ling on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Fight with all your strength!"
"Oh scares! Master, please watch my performance!" Xiang Ling adjusted her glasses and jumped directly from the stand like Li. Ming Jing couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and said to Yuexi who was snickering next to her: "This
The child looks very motivated!”
"I haven't even reminded her yet..." Maoyue Xiyan covered her forehead with one hand and sighed.
"When it comes to dealing with Sakura, Xiangling will have no problem!" Yakumo said with confidence.
"Are you two ready? Then, the game begins!" Seeing that the two girls were ready, Moonlight Hayate waved her hand. Xiangling took a step back and quickly took out her hand from the satchel behind her back.
The sword was thrown away. Sakura immediately pulled out the kunai and knocked away the shuriken flying towards her. Then in her sight, Xiangling quickly approached and punched the abdomen.
Sakura panicked, but Xiangling feinted and turned her fist into a fist, grabbing Sakura's kunai. The girl's movements continued, and she quickly completed the seal "Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire!" with both hands.
Sakura was startled and immediately backed away with her arms protecting her head.
"Idiot! That's not a ninjutsu." Sasuke reminded loudly in the stands. But it was too late, Xiangling kicked Sakura to the ground, then rode up with a kunai in his hand.
When she was about to be restrained, Sakura grabbed Xiang Ling's wrist with her backhand to prevent the kunai from getting close to her neck.
"Give up! You have already lost." Xiangling pressed down on Sakura and pushed the kunai downwards with all his strength.
"I won't lose like this!" Xiao Ying gritted her teeth and suddenly exerted force on her waist, knocking Xiang Ling down with her knee.
"Huh...what a risk! I almost lost." Naruto couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted loudly: "Sakura, come on!"
"What a shame!" Sakura yelled at Naruto first, then looked at Xiang Ling and said, "Now it's my turn!" As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura quickly completed the seal.
"Clone Technique? This kind of basic ninjutsu has no effect on me!" Xiang Ling smiled slightly, suddenly jumped back, and started to form seals at the same time. Unexpectedly, Sakura's speed suddenly increased, and she was close to Xiang Ling in the blink of an eye.
"Drink!" The two clones passed by each other, and Sakura's fist arrived immediately, knocking Xiangling away with one punch.
"Sakura is so awesome!" Naruto almost reached out of the stands. When he saw Sakura knocking Xiangling away, he immediately launched a barrage.
"Among all the newcomers, she is the best in basic movements using chakra. Sakura has grown a lot!" Kakashi said with a happy expression on his face.
"It's too early to say that, Captain Kakashi." Uzuki Xiyan looked down at Xiangling who stood up again, and said with a smile: "Xiangling is walking in front of them!"
"Oh?" Kakashi glanced at Uzuki Xiyan. This teammate is not the kind to talk big!
"Is this your strength? Sure enough, I am stronger!" Xiangling stood up and looked at Xiaoying and suddenly smiled. Then, she quickly completed the seal: "Water Release·Water Whip Technique!" A stream of water formed.
The whip emerged from behind Xiang Ling, like a snake coming out of its hole, and attacked Xiao Sakura in the blink of an eye.
Sakura subconsciously dodged, but she didn't expect that under Xiang Ling's control, the water whip spun sharply and then accelerated again, tying her up.
"There's no water here! Where does her water come from?" Ino looked a little anxious when she saw Sakura tied up with a water whip.
"There is a small bottle on her waist!" Shikamaru's sharp eyes saw the bottle cap on the ground first, and then he found the clue on Xiangling.
"So...it's you!" Ino reacted and turned to look at Yakumo and Hinata. It turns out that these two guys went to the bathroom just now to prepare this for Xiangling!
"Hehe!" Yakumo gestured to Ino with a scissors hand gesture. She gave it to Xiangling before Xiangling came on the stage, so it was not considered a violation.
"You two... are a little careful!" Ming Jing also glanced at Yakumo and Hinata beside him in surprise. After all, Xiangling's current strength alone would not be able to use water escape in places where there is no water source.
"Damn it! Sakura, cheer up!" Ino didn't want to see Yakumo's proud look. She covered her mouth with her hands and shouted to Sakura below. Xiangling didn't care about what these melon-eating people shouted, nor did she care.
How was Sakura struggling? She pulled out three shurikens and threw them at the bound Sakura from a distance of several meters.
"That idiot! Don't give up!" Sasuke looked at Sakura expectantly, hoping that she could break free of the water whip and fight back.
"Sakura!" Naruto jumped out again and shouted to Sakura below: "We have gritted our teeth and persisted until here, never give up!"
