Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 54 Naruto's Barrage

Next, the sixth match was Tenten versus Temari, a genin from Sunagakure.

Tenten's ability is to seal ninja tools in scrolls and use them. She can take out various weapons and tools at any time to deal with enemies depending on the battle situation.

However, her opponent Temari is not to be underestimated. She possesses powerful Wind Release abilities and can control strong winds to launch attacks, putting immense pressure on Tenten.

Tenten quickly unrolled the scroll and took out a large number of hidden weapons and other weapons, intending to overwhelm Temari with sheer numbers.

Temari unleashed her Wind Release technique, completely sealing off Tenten's weapon attack.

Faced with such a powerful offensive, Tenten had no choice but to lose, and Temari successfully defeated Tenten to advance to the second round.

Next, the seventh match is Shikamaru versus the Sound Ninja trio's Koto and Hammer.

The power of the Harp is illusion; it can create illusions through the sound of bells.

In this duel, Shikamaru demonstrated his exceptional wisdom and calm mind, utilizing the environment and his own advantages to successfully break through the illusion of the harp and counterattack his opponent.

In the end, Shikamaru won the match and advanced to the second round by controlling the harp and hammer, making her head slam into the wall.

"So, the next match..."

Naruto Uzumaki VS Kiba Inuzuka!

"My turn! My turn! Everyone, thank you for waiting! It's finally my turn to appear!" Naruto shouted enthusiastically.

Kiba was especially excited: "I'm so lucky! I'm sure I'll beat Naruto! Akamaru!"

"Naruto! You have to win mine too!" Sakura shouted at Naruto, waving her fist.

"Eighth match: Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka."

"I've been waiting impatiently, it's finally my turn to show my skills."

Kiba Inuzuka retorted, "Damn Naruto, that's what I wanted to say. Winning against you is only natural, right, Akamaru!"

Hinata really wanted to cheer for Naruto, but she was on the same team as Kiba, and if she did, Kiba might get angry...

What should I do...?

Just as Hinata was in a dilemma, Boruto came to her side and said, "Let's cheer for Naruto!"

"Boruto..." Hinata was clearly taken aback when she heard Boruto's words.

"Look, almost everyone here doesn't think highly of Naruto. Isn't that just too pitiful for Naruto?" Boruto pointed at the crowd.

Hinata looked in the direction Boruto was pointing, and everyone except Team 7 looked like the outcome was already decided.

Naruto-kun...

Boruto pressed his advantage, saying, "Besides, Naruto would definitely want you to cheer him on too."

Boruto then demonstrated by waving at Naruto and shouting, "Naruto! Go for it!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto waved to Boruto and said, "Just watch! I'll take him down in no time!"

Just then, Hinata, who was standing to the side, looked at the scene before her and felt very conflicted.

After a fierce internal struggle, Hinata finally made up her mind and mustered her courage to shout out, "Naruto-kun... and Kiba, you both have to do your best!"

Although her voice wasn't loud, she had done her best, and by this time, Hinata's cheeks had already turned bright red.

Hearing Hinata's call, Naruto turned around, gave her a thumbs-up to express his gratitude, and said, "Yeah! I'll definitely do my best!"

Hinata's heart raced after receiving Naruto's response, and her blush deepened.

On the other side, Kiba heard Hinata's cheers and muttered to himself, "Seriously! What's so great about Naruto? He's actually cheering for my opponent."

However, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but responded to Hinata's encouragement with a smile.

Kurenai, standing behind Hinata, was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the usually introverted Hinata to cheer them on so loudly. Even Neji, who was not far away, looked over.

Seeing that both players were ready, Gekko Hayate said, "Then, let's begin."

The moment Hayate Gekko announced the start, Kiba unleashed beast-like power and speed, sending Naruto flying. He then joined forces with his ninja dog Akamaru to attack.

After a chaotic battle, Akamaru was subdued by Naruto, who then transformed into Akamaru's appearance and gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, everyone realized that Naruto was no longer the loser he used to be.

Kiba fed Akamaru a soldier pill that boosted his combat power, allowing Akamaru to transform into Kiba and use his ultimate technique, Fang Over Fang, to instantly defeat Naruto.

However, Naruto stood up again through his own willpower and even transformed into Kiba's appearance in the midst of the battle, with the three Kiba looking at each other in bewilderment.

The real Kiba smelled Naruto's scent and punched him away, but the Kiba that was punched away turned into Akamaru.

Immediately, Ya punched the other denture, knocking it down. Surprisingly, the denture that was knocked away also turned into Akamaru.

Just as Kiba was stunned, Naruto, who had transformed into Akamaru, leaped up and kicked Kiba away.

Naruto said, "I'm going to use the special technique I just learned to defeat you!"

Naruto was preparing his new ultimate move, but Kiba didn't give him time. Kiba rushed in front of him like a gust of wind and circled behind Naruto in the blink of an eye.

"Take this!" Ya's voice rang out, as if announcing the end of the battle.

However, just as Kiba was about to succeed, Naruto, in a moment of desperation, secretly let out a fart.

At this moment, thanks to the enhancement of its own surgical technique, the tooth's sense of smell has become exceptionally sensitive.

As a result, the sudden fart caused Ya's expression to become extremely distorted and painful. He covered his face tightly with both hands, and his body began to tremble.

Boruto was dumbfounded and said, "No way? This works? Could this be the ultimate move?"

Naruto gave an awkward laugh: "That doesn't count, let's start over."

Naruto also used the Shadow Clone Technique to create four clones. One of them punched Kiba into the air, and the other clones followed suit, kicking Kiba into the air as well.

Finally, Naruto himself delivered a powerful downward kick, sending Kiba crashing back to the ground.

"Naruto... rapid-fire!"

After checking Kiba's condition, Hayate Gekko announced, "The winner is Naruto Uzumaki!"
