Naruto: Sasuke Reborn – No Clan Massacre! No Injustice！

"Rock Lee, you did great!"

Gai, his face beaming with excitement, rushed towards Rock Lee and began to nuzzle against him. Tears gushed down his face like wide noodles.

His beloved disciple had finally opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates. After so long, he had proven himself to everyone with his strength, showing that hard work could surpass talent.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch. Teacher Gai, every cell in my body is in pain right now."

"Of course. Didn't I tell you before? With the Eight Gates, the higher the gate you open, the worse the after - effects. Considering your current state, you'll have to stay in bed for at least a week."

Gai looked at Rock Lee and saw a disappointed expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy about tying the match?"

"Teacher Gai, is this really okay?"

Rock Lee glanced in the direction of Kimimaro. Although Kimimaro had spat out a large mouthful of blood on the battlefield, he was now moving as usual. In contrast, Rock Lee couldn't even move a single finger due to the pain all over his body.

"You idiot!"

Gai lashed out with his Whip of Love and punched Rock Lee in the face without caring about his severe injuries.

"A tie is a tie. Don't think too much. You've done very well, Rock Lee. After all, your opponent is a ninja capable of Sage Transformation and has an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai. This is definitely an outstanding achievement you can boast about!"

"Teacher Gai..."

Rock Lee thought about it and realized it was true. During the previous battle with Kimimaro, he and Gaara together couldn't win. Now, he could tie the match on his own. He had really done well.

"I understand, Teacher Gai!"

"Rock Lee!"

The master and disciple hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces. Tenten awkwardly kept her distance from these two idiots and silently thought, "Neji, where are you? Please come back soon! Don't leave me here to suffer this embarrassment alone!"

Kakashi announced the next match.

"Tayuya vs Sakura Haruno!"

...

"Oh, it's my turn next. Sasuke, I'll win back the points that Kimimaro lost."

"Tayuya, be careful of your opponent. She was Sasuke's former companion, so her strength mustn't be underestimated."

Kimimaro glanced in Sasuke's direction and saw that his expression was normal.

"He's right. Sakura is best at Chakra Enhanced Strength and Medical Ninjutsu. Her delicate control over chakra can't be underestimated either. You need to be extra careful."

"Don't worry. These won't work against my Genjutsu."

Tayuya left with a confident look on her face. Sasuke helplessly rubbed his forehead. Why were his subordinates all so disobedient?

Looking at the pink - haired girl in the arena below, she confidently flashed the victory sign to the spectators in the stands, brimming with self - confidence.

...

"Let the match commence!"

At Kakashi's command, he quickly retreated from the arena, leaving the space for the two girls.

Without a word, Tayuya took out a flute and put it to her lips, playing it gently.

The elegant and peculiar sound made one feel relaxed. Somehow, eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Just as her eyes were about to close for a moment, Sakura sensed something was wrong. She immediately formed a Hand Seal with both hands and roared.

"Release!"

Everyone came to their senses, thinking fearfully that they had been indulged in the elegant flute sound and had no ability to resist.

"Tsk~ What a pain in the ass, ruining my Genjutsu!"

"Thanks for the compliment. I might be naturally good at breaking Genjutsu. You're really unlucky to face me."

"What an arrogant tone. The match hasn't even started yet, but you make it seem like you already know the result."

Sakura held her head high and put one hand on her hip, looking quite self - assured.

"You were actually just talking about me with Sasuke, right? Before fighting your rival, don't you plan to learn about the Ninjutsu that Konoha Ninjas are good at? I've been desperately collecting documents and trying every means to understand the characteristics of your Ninjutsu. Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. In this regard, you've already lost!"

"All talk and no action. Let's see if you're as tough as you talk!"

Tayuya took the flute in her hand. The Hand Seal in her hand changed rapidly, and she suddenly slapped the floor.

"[Summoning Jutsu]"

After a puff of white smoke, three strange human - shaped beings were summoned. One held a thick wooden club; one used bone claws; and one had their upper body including the head wrapped in bandages and had no arms.

Sakura immediately became alert. These were the Three Ghosts that Shikamaru had mentioned before. With their special moves, they could absorb the rival's Chakra.

"Woman, your expression is no longer as calm as before. Don't tell me you're going to give up now!"

"Absolutely not. I'm just thinking about which pose would look the best when I beat you later."

"Humph!"

"[Chapter Nine of the Finale: Chaos in the Demon Realm]"

Tayuya blew the flute by her lips, and the Three Ghosts spat out a transparent energy substance from their mouths. There was a big mouth at the top of the substance.

It seemed that was the thing that could absorb Chakra.

Sakura analyzed Tayuya's attack moves and patterns while thinking about where to start.

Suddenly, her expression froze. She stomped on the ground with both feet, and the floor began to crack. She rushed at the first armless ghost with irresistible force.

"Ah!"

She punched the bandaged ghost hard in the chest. After a deep dent appeared in the chest, the ghost flew back heavily. After a puff of white smoke, the figure of the bandaged ghost disappeared without a trace.

"This is impossible!"

Tayuya was greatly shocked. With just one blow, her summoned being was sent back. She quickly controlled the other two summoned beings.

The transparent substance accelerated to absorb Chakra. Although Sakura was agile, some of her Chakra was still drained.

No, the longer this match dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for her. She had to solve it as soon as possible.

She formulated a battle plan. As long as she defeated the true form, the remaining two wouldn't be a problem.

"In your dreams!"

Tayuya saw through Sakura's attack intention and immediately blocked the two ghosts and the white transparent thing in front of her, sandwiching Sakura from the front and the back.

"Not good! Sakura, get out of the way!"

An excited voice came from the stands. However, it was too late. The transparent summoned creature firmly bit Sakura's left foot.

Sakura felt a large portion of her Chakra suddenly drain away. Tayuya was so overjoyed that she lost all sense of propriety.

"Pfft!"

Inside the transparent creature's mouth, there was only half a log instead of Sakura.

"Tayuya, look out above!"

Kidōmaru shouted anxiously, but unfortunately, it was a moment too late. A gust of wind from a punch descended from the sky. Just the pressure of the punch knocked Tayuya to the ground, leaving her unable to move.

The flutes around her mouth were all shattered.

"Hey! Referee!"

Then Kakashi announced,

"The winner is Sakura Haruno!"
