"Naruto, you brat, are you trying to kill me? Why did you summon me in such an environment?"
Although Gamabunta had escaped the danger in mid-air, he was not uninjured.
His entire body ached. Even though he was a powerful summoned beast with durability far beyond that of a human.
And even an S-Rank secret technique hitting him directly would not necessarily kill him, he still did not want to take such a hit.
"I didn't want to either, Boss. At that time I had no other choice but to summon you, and I believed you could handle it, Boss," Naruto flattered him.
Who said Naruto was slow to catch on? At a time like this, his mind worked faster than anyone's.
"Of course, I am Gamabunta." Gamabunta accepted the praise narcissistically.
But before he could say anything else, Sora's lips curled into a cold smile below as he said, "Is it really that simple?"
The Water Tornado broken by Gamabunta suddenly exploded with a thunderous boom, turning into a towering tsunami that crashed down toward the landing Gamabunta.
Being an S-Rank secret technique, how could it possibly be that simple?
"Damn it, Naruto, hurry and use Fire Release," Gamabunta said reflexively, already accustomed to fighting alongside Jiraiya, then added, "Finally, use Wind Release too."
"What? Boss, I don't know how," Naruto said with a bitter expression.
Kakashi had not taught him any techniques at all.
As for Jiraiya, Naruto had spent the past month desperately training the ragengan.
So, where would he find time to learn anything else? Besides, he was terrible with techniques that required complicated hand seals, so he did not know them at all.
"I don't care if you know or not, just produce some fire for me or I'll throw you out," Gamabunta said angrily.
What kind of disciple had that idiot Jiraiya taken? At the very least he should know basic Fire Release or Wind Release, yet he knew neither.
"Then this is the only way," Naruto said as he flicked out an exploding tag.
"Exploding tags? They're a bit lacking, but I'll have to make do," Gamabunta muttered before launching his technique, "Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet."
Gamabunta felt a surge of resentment toward Jiraiya.
The next time he caught that idiot, he would definitely scold him for not even teaching his disciple Fire Release or Wind Release to cooperate with the Toad Clan's summoned beasts.
Although the power of the massive Toad Oil Flame Bullet was greatly reduced without the coordination of Fire Release and Wind Release, it was still not something to be underestimated.
Because it was mixed with toad oil, the flames were extremely difficult to extinguish. Ordinary Water Release could hardly put it out.
However, against Sora's technique, it could only resist or even be completely annihilated.
"Hah!" Gamabunta suddenly opened his mouth and spat out another technique, shouting, "Water Release: Blast Wave!"
A huge sphere of water carrying astonishing impact blasted forward, punching a massive hole through the remaining tsunami.
The rest of the wave quickly lost its threat.
"Phew. Naruto, now tell me what's going on," Gamabunta said. His enormous body occupied more than half of the arena.
Fortunately, the arena had been built especially large to welcome famous people and feudal lords from various countries.
Otherwise, it truly would not have been able to withstand a duel between ninjas with summoned beasts.
"I'm participating in the Chunin Exams, and my opponent is Sora, him. Oh, and I heard from Pervy Sage that he's Tsunade's disciple," Naruto explained.
"What? A genin in the Chunin Exams can actually perform an S-Rank secret technique? Tsunade's disciple… I don't remember Tsunade knowing such a technique.
If that's the case, he must have developed it himself. What a talented youth," Gamabunta said as he stared wide-eyed at Sora before glancing at Naruto standing on his head.
Why was the gap between the disciples of the Sannin so large?
"Gamabunta, I didn't expect you to be summoned," Sora said. His surprise grew.
With Gamabunta's cooperation, Naruto actually had the strength to fight him.
After all, Gamabunta was a summoned beast whose strength exceeded that of an ordinary jonin.
And the power of his techniques was greater than that of most jonin, almost comparable to the weakest tailed beast.
"Kid, your name is Sora, right? Is what this brat Naruto said true? Are you really Tsunade's disciple?" Gamabunta asked.
The main reason was that he had not seen Tsunade or his old partner Katsuyu for many years.
Although he did not get along with Manda, he had always had a good relationship with Katsuyu.
After all, Katsuyu was indifferent to worldly conflicts, and even the arrogant Gamabunta did not wish to become her enemy.
"Indeed," Sora replied calmly.
This was the first time Sora had admitted to being Tsunade's disciple in front of outsiders.
When Kakashi and others had asked before, he had never admitted it, but now he did because the one asking was Gamabunta.
"Tsunade has indeed taken a good disciple, much more outstanding than this idiot Naruto," Gamabunta said as he exhaled a puff of smoke, clearly not bothered that Sora's technique had injured him.
If he wanted to blame someone, it would be Naruto for summoning him here.
For an opponent like Sora to release such a technique was completely normal.
Although Gamabunta was arrogant, he was not unreasonable.
"Boss, what do you mean by that? Am I really that bad?" Naruto asked in dissatisfaction.
"Not just bad, very bad," Gamabunta said bluntly.
"Others your age have already developed S-Rank secret techniques, while you're still playing in the mud."
Gamabunta's words nearly made Naruto cry. Was there really any need to discourage him so much?
"But since we are opponents now, summon Katsuyu. We haven't seen each other in many years," Gamabunta suggested.
"No," Sora replied as he shook his head.
"Although a summoned beast is part of one's strength, this battle belongs to me. I want to see where my current limits are.
In fact, it's better that Naruto summoned you. Alone he is no match for me, but with you here, it becomes much more interesting."
Sora was not being arrogant; he truly had that level of confidence.
"Oh? In that case, I won't hold back either," Gamabunta said.
Originally, he had planned to argue with Naruto for dragging him here, but after seeing Sora, he wanted to test how far Tsunade's disciple had grown.
What exactly gave him the confidence to face Gamabunta alone without summoning Katsuyu? He could tell that Sora was not arrogant or conceited; he was simply confident.
"That's exactly what I want," Sora replied with a satisfied nod.
While the two spoke, the entire arena erupted into chaos.
It could not be helped. Gamabunta's voice was simply too loud, making it impossible for anyone present not to hear everything clearly.
