Chapter 63 : Shika Vs Sasuke 9

Sasuke was sure that he had won the match with that one last kick of his. He didn't want to continue the match; there was no point. So he asked Shika to stop and give up. But to his surprise, the boy stood up and then said that he would win?

He couldn't understand what was giving him that confidence. The boy was seriously injured. Seeing that the boy wasn't going to give up on his own, Sasuke was about to knock him out.

But before he could do that, something happened. He heard an explosion. Following the sound, he looked up and his eyes widened in shock.

Others were a little late to figure out what was going on, but when they did, their eyes also widened.

The explosion happened at the ceiling. Multiple explosive tags were set up in a circle at the ceiling. Shika had placed them there when the mist was still covering the ring. And now they finally exploded, taking down an entire area of the ceiling in a circle. Shika had planted them in a way that they effectively destroyed a part of the ceiling without affecting the rigidity of the building itself.

He could have used the explosive tags directly on Sasuke, but with the Sharingan, Sasuke would most likely have dodged. Not to mention, with the curse seal active, Shika doubted that normal explosive tags would be effective against Sasuke.

He made them, but unlike Conan, he too had a limited number of them. Wasting them on Sasuke wasn't an option, let alone alerting the boy that he had explosive tags.

After all, not everyone keeps explosive tags with them; they are expensive. Making them is also a pain in the ass—one mistake and they go kaboom. And God help you if you have some of them lying around when one of them explodes on you.

So in this condition, Shika went for this one knockout blast, and the blast happened right under the targeted place where he was trying to bring Sasuke all this time. If that wind earlier hadn't blown away all the mist, then this match would have been over a long time ago.

Sasuke, who was right underneath the falling ceiling, was completely caught off guard. He tried to move, but something blocked him from doing so. He looked down only to see a kunai dug right where his shadow was, and the kunai had a tag.

This was the exact trick Shikamaru used against Hidan. (I am actually not sure who he used that against exactly. If I'm wrong, then please tell me in the comments.)

Of course, Sasuke could overpower this little kunai with the shadow-capturing tag, but the issue was time. The ceiling was above him.

He tried to move but he couldn't.

BAAMMMM.

The entire ceiling fell right on top of him, making enough noise to wake up those distracted people in the hall. It made half of the Jonin stand up as they thought they were under attack, while some even thought that the building was falling apart.

"That crazy kid," Kurenai said, slack-jawed at what Shika did. On the side, her team was nodding and gulping at the same time.

"Yeah, Shika-kun can be scary at times like this," Hinata said with a smile, awkwardly. Out of all, she knew Shika the best. Due to Shika training with her intensively, she was now a little away from the few quirks he had, one being his knack for going over the top in fights like this.

"Sasuke!" Both Ino and Sakura shouted, even now only worried about Sasuke.

Maybe they were right about worrying about him when he was fighting with Shika.

The Hokage, seeing this, had his eyebrows twitching. After all, he had to provide funds to repair this. Orochimaru, on the other side, was strangely looking at Shika.

"Though he is not that strong, this Nara boy acts more like a Shinobi than all those brats combined."

Orochimaru wasn't honestly expecting anyone here besides Gaara to give Sasuke a good fight—maybe Neji, but none other.

But now, seeing how this Nara boy was performing, he was getting excited. 'What will it be, Sasuke? Can you come out of this?'

Even the proctor was freaked out when that ceiling fell on Sasuke, internally cursing the kids for breaking things.

Shika, seeing the plan successful, finally sighed and let out the breath he had been holding. He knew that by following this plan, he might later get scolded by others, but to become a Chunin, he had to do it.

And as for Sasuke, well, if he survived Orochimaru, then this shouldn't be that big of a deal, right?

"If we are done here, then please announce the result so we can maybe take out the Tattoo Guy from that," Shika turned back to the proctor, who was still looking at the place where the ceiling collapsed and then snapped out of it.

'Is it just today, or am I getting too old for this?' Gekko Hayate thought. After coughing a little, he was about to quickly announce the result so he could save the last hope of the Uchiha clan.

"Shika, that was too much," Kurenai shouted on the side, her eyebrows trembling with a little anger and a little excitement.

Shika just smiled at her, not bothering to talk. At least she wasn't cursing at him like those other fangirls were doing right now.

"This boy isn't like the rest of the Nara," Hiruzen puffed on his pipe and sighed. He could only hope that Sasuke was fine.

Kakashi, seeing this result, was a little worried about Sasuke but still didn't make any move. Because beside him were Guy and his team, and Neji, along with them, told others that Sasuke was fine. The same was the case with Hinata.

'Sigh, finally it's over. Now I just have to worry about the finals and impress those old fools to make me a Chunin,' Shika muttered to himself.

He was just waiting for this eternally ill Jonin to end his nonstop coughing session and announce him as the winner so that he could get going.

But…

Boom…
