Chapter 421

Upon hearing this, a person with a Konoha Headband on his forehead slowly raised his hand, “I forfeit!”
“Kabuto-senpai.” Sasuke and Sakura all had looks of disbelief on their faces.
“Why? Why did Kabuto-senpai do it?” Naruto felt even more unwilling for him.
“I’m sorry, Naruto. In fact, I am already covered in wounds. To be honest, before the first exam, I was almost deaf because of Sound Ninja. I have to sacrifice my life to fight later. I have reached my limit.” Kabuto said lightly.
Among the ninjas present, only Leiyin knew what medicine he had bought in his gourd.
Meng Xiaomeng seemed to be still hesitating, but when she looked at Leiyin, she somehow made up her mind to persevere.
“Now, no one wants to quit, right?” Hayate continued to ask.
The field was silent.
“Since that’s the case, then let’s begin the pre-selection. This is a one-on-one battle. Let’s use a one-on-one battle.”
“Other than Kabuto who has already quit, there are exactly twenty people left. The winner will be able to participate in the third stage.”
“However, in my opinion, the outcome is obvious. In order to reduce the number of corpses to the minimum, I will take the initiative to end the match. And what determines your fate is…”
Hayate waved his hand, and the big screen in front of him was pulled down, revealing two electronic screens. “Then it will decide the names of the two sides in the first round.”
As the names on the screen rolled rapidly, many people’s hearts were pulled up again, and they could even hear the sound of people swallowing their saliva.
The result of the first round was soon out.
Uchiha Sasuke vs. Eri!
Seeing this, Sakura revealed a worried expression, “Sasuke, I am so scared. If you feel that it is not possible, feel like giving up!”
Sakura was referring to the curse that Orochimaru had left him in the Forest of Death. If it flared up, it would make him feel very scared.
When Sasuke heard this, he had an impatient expression on his face. “Don’t come here to get in the way. Also, don’t tell anyone about my injuries. I came here just to fight against the strong. The one with the strong eyebrows, the one with the gourd on his back, and the guy in Yamato Team, you are not allowed to stop me!”
When Naruto heard this, his face was full of anger. “You bastard! What are you pretending for! Sakura is concerned about you.”
“Naruto.” Before Naruto could finish his sentence, Sasuke looked at him with a serious expression and said, “I also want to fight you!”
“Eh?!” Naruto was stunned when he heard this.
“The two names on the screen, please come up!”
Uchiha Sasuke and Eri stood opposite each other. Sasuke’s left shoulder was faintly in pain, and the curse was faintly discernible. Eri also seemed to feel something strange about him.
“Then, except for the participants, everyone else please go up.”
“The first round of the competition begins!”
When Kakashi went up, he brushed past Sasuke, “Don’t use the Sharingan.”
“Huh?”
“If the curse mark on your neck flares up, you will die. If it really turns out like that, I will rush up and stop you without hesitation.”
“Sasuke…”
When Meng Xiaomeng went up, she made a cheering gesture to Eri. Eri showed his big square teeth and smiled at Meng Xiaomeng.
“Alright. Then, let’s begin!”
As soon as the game password was given, Sasuke took out a few kunai from his pocket and suddenly threw it out.
Seeing this, Eri waved his sword, and the sword edge made a sound, blocking the kunai. Then Eri jumped into the air and chopped down toward Sasuke.
Seeing this, Sasuke took out another kunai and blocked Eri’s sword edge.
However, Sasuke immediately felt that the strength on his wrist was not enough. His hand loosened, and he shouted in his heart, “Not good” and dodged. The sword tip hit the ground, and several pieces of the floor shattered.
Sasuke was not discouraged after being pushed back. Instead, he showed a hint of joy, “Are all the people in Yamato Team as strong as you?”
Eri carried the sword on his shoulder and said with a smile, “That man in our team is ten times stronger than me.”
Hearing this, Sasuke could not help but turn to look at Leiyin who was watching the battle.
“Is that so? This exam is really interesting!”
After Sasuke finished speaking, he flew over. With a speed that his opponent could not react to, he quickly kicked his chin.
“Lion Combo!”
Eri was kicked out of his guard.
However, Eri, who seemed to have lost control of his body, seemed to still be moving.
Sasuke pointed at Eri’s waist, but at this time, there was a sharp pain on his neck, and the curse seal was looming.
“Damn it!”
Sasuke tried his best to suppress it with his mind, and only then did he feel a little better.
