Two Hours Later
"Everyone, twenty-four hours are over, and I declare the second round of the Dawn Competition ended."
Itachi's voice rang out through the entire End City.
"Haaaah.... it's finally over. You guys are really crazy to have thought of such an idiotic plan....."
Natsuki, hearing this and seeing the dozen or so monsters fighting them suddenly disappear, lay down carelessly while complaining.
"A total of thirteen participants have passed this round. Here's the new ranking.
1) Kimimaro (Mizumori) (14) — 460 Points
2) Uchiha Raikuro (Mizumori) (14) — 379 Points
3) Uchiha Tengen (Mizumori) (14) — 330 Points
4) Gaara (Sunagakure) (11) — 310 Points
5) Uchiha Sasuke (Mizumori) (11) — 280 Points
6) Uchiha Arata (Mizumori) (10) — 241 Points
7) Hyuga Neji (Mizumori) (12) — 217 Points
8) Shion (Kinmori) (11) — 195 Points
9) Uzumaki Naruto (Mizumori) (10) — 150 Points
10) Uchiha Natsuki (Mizumori) (10) — 135 Points
11) Kurotsuchi (Iwagakure) (11) — 80 Points
12) Uzumaki Boruto (Rogue) (12) — 75 Points
13) Chōjūrō (Kirigakure) (13) — 60 Points."
"Now, the third round will start immediately. Defeat the King of Monsters or damage him. The greater the damage, the greater the points you get. Because of the intense second round, I have decided to upgrade the rewards for the third and final round.
All those who participate in it will receive an S-rank ninjutsu as a reward, with the winner getting the Legendary Weapon, Sword of Kusanagi.
Then, everyone, good luck."
BOOMMMMMM!!!!!
The moment Itachi's voice faded away, the entire City of End started to tremble as buildings started to fall.
Sand Release: Sand Dome
"Chōjūrō Eliminated."
ROARRRRRRR
Just then, the roar of a dragon rang throughout the entire City of End as well as Mizumori.
The next moment, a huge head tens of meters long emerged from the newly created sinkhole in the middle of the City of End. Within seconds, a huge black dragon with purple eyes flew above the sinkhole as it once again roared.
"Do we have to defeat that monster?"
Boruto, seeing a dragon hundreds of meters long for the first time, asked with astonishment. He could feel its strength even if he was several kilometres away from it.... it was about the same as his father and Uncle Sasuke, the strongest in the Ninja World. (It's at Super-Kage level, not the same as peak Naruto and Sasuke. Boruto is too weak to see the difference.)
"Well, we increased the strength of the monsters, so the King of Monsters will also become stronger."
Sasuke reasoned while thinking of a plan.
"Is it attacking?"
Just then, Naruto noticed the black dragon open its mouth and throw a purple fireball towards another direction.
BOOMMMM SIZZZZLEEEEE
"Kurotsuchi Eliminated."
"Is this karma.... we toyed with other participants, and now we have our own entertainer."
Naruto, hearing Itachi's words, smiled wryly.
"Its strength might have reached the level of the First Hokage and Lady Izumi.... we can't defeat it with our strength. Everyone, try your best to deal the greatest damage."
Raikuro, seeing the Ender Dragon turning towards them, said while lightning started to cover him.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode
Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite
"Then, everyone, attack at once."
Kimimaro, seeing the Ender Dragon flying towards them, said as he lowered his body to touch the ground.
FORBIDDEN JUTSU: DANCE OF THE SEEDLING FERN
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation
The next moment, with them as the center, nearly hundreds of meters around them turned into a bone forest, with each bone tens of meters tall, acting as a barrier against the giant dragon.
Just then, Raikuro finally reached the Ender Dragon as he pointed his four fingers towards its massive head.
FLAPP FLAPPPP FLAPPPP
Unfortunately, before he could reach it, he suddenly felt his direction changing because of the intense windstorm caused by the flapping of its wings.
Just then, the sea of fire spat by Tengen reached the dragon, but it was also blocked by the wind covering it.
ROAAARRRRRRR
BANGGG
Immediately, the dragon roared as it slammed its tail against Raikuro.
Although Raikuro was using the strongest shield of the Third Raikage, ultimately he wasn't the Third Raikage. The next moment, he slammed into dozens of buildings before finally stopping.
"Raikuro Eliminated."
ROARRR
The next moment, the Ender Dragon spat out a sea of purple fire rushing towards the bone forest.
Wind Style: Great Wind Breakthrough × 3
Sand Release: Sand Tsunami
Water Style: Waterfall
Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven
SIZZZZLEEEEE SIZZZZLEEEEE
The next moment, the sea of fire passed through the Wind and Water Jutsu, annihilating them as it collided with the bone forest protecting everyone. Within seconds, the entire bone forest started to corrode as it passed through it and enveloped everyone within it.
Magical Energy : Yggdrasil Resonance
"Sasuke, come here."
Just then, Shion shouted as she was covered in a white-pink chakra.
Lightning Style: Lightning Armour × 3
Sand Release: Sand Wall
Earth Style: Earth Dome
Water Style: Wat.....
Few Seconds Later
"Uzumaki Boruto Eliminated.
Uchiha Natsuki Eliminated.
Uzumaki Naruto Eliminated.
Uchiha Tengen Eliminated.
Uchiha Arata Eliminated.
Gaara Eliminated."
---
Hearing the list of participants eliminated within seconds, the audience quietened down. The people present were the best of the best among the thousand-plus participants, and now they were being cut down like weeds.
"That attack.... that monster is stronger than me."
Terumi Mei, seeing such a strong Fire Style for the first time, looked at the Ender Dragon with astonishment.
"Indeed, even with my Purple Lightning, I can't block it."
Kakashi, sitting beside Terumi, said while looking at the screen.
"Hmph, just admit you are a weakling, Kakashi."
Obito, hearing Kakashi's words, taunted with an arrogant expression.
"You can only specialize in hiding, Obito."
Mei, seeing Obito taunting her fiancée, said with a mocking expression.
"Heh, I heard that the previous Mizukage was controlled by an illusion..... You should be careful."
Seeing Mei come between his brotherly love, Obito threatened while opening his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"I also heard you were crushed by a boulder..... be careful not to get yourself boiled next tim—"
"Ahem, you two should focus on the competition. Sasuke, Shion, and Kimimaro are still left."
"Hmph." × 2

City of End
"Shion, do you want to use that Jutsu?"
Sasuke, protected by the Priestess's power, asked Shion while looking at the nearly destroyed bone forest.
"Won't that be cheating?"
"We aren't summoning it.... we are just resonating with it. It's still our Jutsu."
"Okay, but we will need some time."
"Brother Kimimaro... hold that monster."
Hearing Shion's answer, Sasuke nodded and shouted to Kimimaro, who had merged with the bone forest at some point in time and thus escaped the disaster.
"Okay.... this is going to be my strongest attack."
Kimimaro, hearing this, looked at the dragon with seriousness.
FORBIDDEN JUTSU: DANCE OF THE MORNING GLORY
The next moment, the huge bones that had been corroded and destroyed started to grow back and twist into each other. Within seconds, a bone-drilling cone formed above Kimimaro as he was panting heavily.
"GOOO!!!"
Immediately, the spinning cone rushed towards the Ender Dragon. In response, the Ender Dragon also rushed towards it while slamming its claws against it.
BOOOOMMMMMM
After a few seconds of stalemate..... the bone spiralling cone finally shattered as its huge pieces fell to the ground.
"Kimimaro Eliminated."
Just then, Itachi's voice rang out. It wasn't that the Ender Dragon attacked him, but that Kimimaro died because of the Ender Dragon's purple poison.
After the previous attack, although the Ender Dragon stopped spewing purple fire, and it was extinguished after a few seconds as well, a cloud of purple poison still remained in the nearby hundreds of meters.
"Shion, here's my lightning power.... I will try to delay it."
Hearing Kimimaro's elimination, Sasuke pushed a lightning ball towards Shion and started to form a Chidori Spear in his right arm.
"Okay...."
Lightning Spear Style: Second Form: Lightning Divide
The next moment, his entire body was filled with blue lightning, denser than ever. As he took the first step, he appeared ten meters away.
ROAAARRRRR
The Ender Dragon, having eliminated Kimimaro, looked towards Sasuke and Shion and opened its mouth, spitting out a sea of purple fire.
Sasuke, on the other hand, felt the threat of death as well as his blood boiling.
'Is this what big brother felt when facing Sagittarius?'
The next moment, Sasuke's speed increased more than ten times within a second as he rushed towards the sea of purple flames.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The next moment, Sasuke's spear collided with the sea of flames, parting it down the middle and preventing the flames from reaching Shion.
10m....20m....30m...
CRACKK!!!
Just when Sasuke had moved thirty meters into the sea of flames, his Chidori Spear started cracking.
'No, I can't stop now.'
Seeing the purple sea of fire and the huge black dragon's face ahead of him, and sensing the Priestess's power drastically increasing, Sasuke resolved himself.
'Condense the lightning chakra to form a spear.... Add Yin energy to solidify it..... Use Spiritual Energy to control the balance between the two chakras.' { He is remembering Itachi's instructions }
As Sasuke concentrated on the spear, his Two-tomoe Sharingan started to rotate faster and faster. A few seconds later, the rotation finally stopped, forming a Three-tomoe Sharingan.
With his increased ocular power, the cracking of the Chidori Spear slowed down, but it still didn't stop.
'Sasuke, remember that what you use is the most basic lightning chakra. Beyond that is extreme lightning chakra, which is equivalent to or even stronger than Bloodline Limits. The Black Lightning of the Third Raikage and Darui of Kumogakure, the Purple Lightning of Kakashi, and the bluish-white lightning of Yggdrasil are examples of it.
The strongest of the extreme lightning is Golden Lightning, or Heavenly Lightning, which I use. If you want to reach my level of strength, you must learn Golden Lightning. If you want to convert normal lightning to Golden Lightning, first....'
'Let's gamble.'
Sasuke, remembering Itachi's words and seeing the increasing cracks on the Chidori Spear, confirmed his thoughts.
The next moment, he started converting the normal lightning chakra into Golden Lightning following the steps Itachi explained. Although he had never succeeded before, now, with his Three-tomoe Sharingan, he finally completed the first step.
Three Seconds Later
By now, the blue lightning spear in Sasuke's hands had disappeared as a golden lightning spear appeared in his hands.
CRACK BOOMMMM
Just when Shion thought that Sasuke had succeeded, a sudden cracking sound came, and the next moment, the sound of an explosion reached her ears.
