Chapter 335 Sasuke, Spare His Life!
The atmosphere in front of the large screen in the Water Kingdom Plaza suddenly became oppressive.
Pain stared at the screen, a cold rage surging in his eyes.
On the screen, more than thirty Cloud Village genin were surrounding and attacking more than twenty Akatsuki Village examinees.
The Cloud Village ninjas, dressed in dark blue ninja uniforms, wielded kunai and lightning blades that gleamed coldly as they relentlessly attacked the Akatsuki examinees.
Although the Xiaoyin examinees fought back with all their might, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position due to the disparity in numbers. Several of them had been hit by lightning and were lying on the ground on the verge of death.
Pain exuded a chilling aura of oppression: "These guys really think Akatsuki is easy to bully? The three great ninja villages joining forces to kill us examinees, they really think highly of us."
Xiao Nan said softly, "Payne, should we admit defeat? If this continues, all our examinees will be wiped out."
Pain paused for a moment, then glanced at the corner of the screen: "No need. The Chunin Exams aren't over yet; we can't act rashly and give others ammunition. Besides... someone has already made their move."
The screen switched to show Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno standing not far away, watching the Cloud Village surround and kill the Akatsuki.
Sasuke glared at the Cloud Village ninja and rushed forward, shouting, "Hey! You guys, what kind of skill is it to gang up on me? Come at me if you dare, I'll take you all on by myself!"
Naruto rushed up and grabbed Sasuke's arm.
"Sasuke! I haven't had enough fun yet! I want to fight too!"
Sasuke disdainfully shook off his hand and snorted coldly, "Naruto, you've already fought one battle and used up a lot of chakra. It's my turn this time."
"I didn't use much! Besides, I absolutely hate it when people gang up on you!"
The two started arguing back and forth, completely disregarding the Cloud Village examinee in front of them.
The Cloud Village examinees looked at each other, one of them staring at Sasuke's face, when suddenly his expression changed.
"Hey, isn't that the prince of the Land of Water? Sasuke, the son of the Uchiha Mitsurugi!"
The other person scrutinized him for a moment, then his expression changed slightly: "It really is him. What a troublesome person. We were told not to provoke the people of the Water Kingdom. What should we do now?"
"What should we do then? Should we still take action?"
Some hesitated. The reputation of the Uchiha Sanfeng was awe-inspiring throughout the ninja world. If his son were harmed, the Hidden Cloud Village might face annihilation.
The leader of the Cloud Village examinees pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Although he is the prince of the Land of Water, we cannot disgrace our village! Here's the plan: send ten people to teach him a lesson, but stop short of injuring him, lest the Uchiha Three Peaks cause us trouble!"
Soon, ten Cloud Village examinees stepped out of the line, their Lightning Release chakra surging as they charged towards Sasuke.
"Boy, even if you're the prince of the Water Kingdom, don't be so arrogant!"
The lead examinee shouted, and his lightning blade, crackling with electricity, slashed towards Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes sharpened as he easily dodged the lightning blade, simultaneously raising his hands to form hand seals: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball erupted from his mouth, sweeping towards the Cloud Village examinees.
The Cloud Hidden examinees scattered in all directions as the fireball struck the ground, igniting a sea of fire.
Before they could even regain their footing, Sasuke had already leaped into the air, pale blue chakra gathering in his hands: "Lightning Release: Chidori!"
The chakra emitted a piercing ringing sound. Before a Cloud Village examinee could react, he was struck by Chidori, his body instantly paralyzed, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Wow, that's fast!"
The other Cloud Village examinees' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly launched a joint attack: "Lightning Release: Lightning Net!"
Several strands of lightning chakra intertwined to form a net, enveloping Sasuke.
Sasuke shifted his feet, easily dodging the lightning net, while simultaneously throwing several kunai with his backhand, accurately striking the wrists of several Cloud Village examinees, causing them to drop their weapons to the ground.
Naruto stood to the side, watching Sasuke show off his skills, and stamped his feet in frustration: "Damn it! That Sasuke is stealing my thunder again!"
Sakura Haruno shook her head helplessly: "Naruto, don't worry, Sasuke can handle it."
Just then, several more Cloud Village examinees quietly circled around behind Sasuke, their lightning blades aimed at his back.
Sakura Haruno called out loudly, "Sasuke, watch your back!"
Sasuke, however, seemed to have anticipated this. He suddenly turned around, and the Chidori in his hand condensed again, stabbing towards the Cloud Village examinee behind him.
Just then, a golden figure suddenly flashed by.
Naruto instantly appeared beside Sasuke, throwing a punch at the Cloud Village examinee: "Sasuke, I'm here to help you!"
Seeing Naruto coming to snatch him away, Sasuke knew he needed to speed up, so he formed hand seals: Shadow Clone Technique!
In an instant, more than two hundred shadow clones of Sasuke appeared around them. These shadow clones suddenly activated Chidori and rushed towards the Lightning Ninja examinees!
The Cloud Hidden examinees turned deathly pale upon seeing the scene before them.
"How can there be so many shadow clones? Just how much chakra does he have?!"
The Akatsuki examinees in the distance also stopped resisting, looking in the direction of Naruto and Sasuke with complicated expressions.
The Cloud Village urgently shouted, "Quickly use area-of-effect ninjutsu to eliminate these shadow clones!"
"Lightning Release: Earth Walk... Lightning Release: Thousand Needles... Lightning Release: Lightning Net..."
For a time, lightning-style ninjutsu flew wildly in the battle, but none of them could stop Sasuke's shadow clones from advancing!
Naruto, being slower, shouted urgently, "Sasuke, spare them! Leave a few for me to practice on!"
In the spacious square, high-ranking officials from various countries gathered in front of a giant screen.
The Fourth Raikage, A, furrowed his thick eyebrows tightly, his face growing increasingly gloomy.
"Is the Land of Water going to help the Land of Dawn?"
The Fourth Raikage A's words caused a stir.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, stared intently at the screen, his expression growing increasingly cold: "If the Land of Water is truly going to help the Land of Akatsuki, then that is definitely not good news for us."
Onoki frowned, as if he was thinking.
"We've been developing the Land of Fire's territory for many years, but our profits have dropped by 70% in recent years. If we continue to hold onto this land, the profits we can obtain are very limited; but if we just give it up like this, it would be a real shame..."
Seeing Ōnoki suddenly stop, the Fourth Raikage, A, said impatiently, "Ōnoki, just say what you have to say! There are no outsiders here! We, the Land of Lightning, don't want to see the Land of Akatsuki grow stronger!"
Onoki flew in mid-air, calmly watching the crowd.
"I propose that the Land of Fire cede its territory to the Land of Water. This would have two advantages: first, it would cripple the Land of Water's economy, as developing and managing newly acquired land would require a massive investment of resources; second, it would create a direct border between the Land of Dawn and the Land of Water, making it easier for us to instigate conflict between them..."
