"Sasuke-kun... are you... are you alright?"
Sakura looked at Sasuke, whose body was half-shimmering with the patterns of the Cursed Seal, and her heart skipped a beat as she asked in a trembling voice.
This was the first time she had seen Sasuke with such a violent aura... Although his tone and attitude seemed fine, for some reason, there was a demonic feeling about him...
"Don't worry, this power isn't enough to make me lose my mind..."
Sasuke's gaze turned cold as he chuckled, staring at the Otogakure ninja forming hand signs.
Knowing the true nature of the Cursed Seal's core, he naturally wouldn't become arrogant just because of the Cursed Seal's power boost... This power couldn't even defeat the current Gaara, so what was there to be proud of!
As for Orochimaru's consciousness tempting him in the Cursed Seal space, Sasuke naturally scoffed at it.
Because of this, he was able to wake up earlier than Naruto!
Maintaining his self-awareness while accepting the power of the Cursed Seal...
"Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique..."
To Sakura's surprise and the shock of Ino–Shika–Chō and Lee, Sasuke let out a shout, and with two 'bangs,' two Sasuke Shadow Clones appeared...
"Nani??"
"Isn't that Naruto's Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
"How does Sasuke know this Ninjutsu too??"
Seeing this, Sakura, Ino, and Shikamaru exclaimed again.
Especially Sakura, she knew that Sasuke had failed to learn the Shadow Clone Technique before!
How did he succeed again?
Could it be that Sasuke-kun had been secretly training hard!!
Damn it, even the amazing Sasuke-kun is secretly training.
She really wasn't working hard enough...
"[Mission complete, reward obtained: Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu...]"
As everyone was astonished, a system prompt also sounded in Sasuke's ear.
"Hmph, do you think you can defeat us just by becoming three?
A failure is a failure, no matter how many Shadow Clones there are..."
Otogakure's Zaku sneered, his palm's sound blast device ready to fire.
On the other side, Dosu, though looking serious, wasn't overly worried... A Cursed Seal, that's all. A Genin getting a Cursed Seal power boost is limited.
But what exactly does Lord Orochimaru mean??
"A failure??
Hmph, I'm just trying out this Ninjutsu..."
Sasuke's main body snorted again, and the two Shadow Clones' gazes turned cold as they charged towards Zaku and Dosu respectively.
He had indeed thought of the system mission that triggered Naruto in his anger!
So he decided to try it out...
"Don't underestimate me..."
Seeing the approaching Shadow Clone, Zaku roared and spread his hands, about to unleash the Decapitating Airwaves.
But Sasuke's Shadow Clone was even faster...
"Lightning Release: Quick Lightning Arrow..."
Taking advantage of the one-handed hand sign, the Shadow Clone had already completed the hand signs while moving, bursting forth first.
A blue electric arc lightning arrow arrived in an instant with the speed of lightning, striking Zaku's body before he could react...
"Ah..."
Accompanied by a shrill scream, Zaku lay on the ground, his body shimmering with electric arcs, his fate unknown.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique..."
Almost at the same time, the Shadow Clone on Dosu's side also burst out fiercely.
A powerful pillar of fire erupted from his mouth, giving Dosu no chance to get close.
But Dosu was, after all, an experienced elite Genin. In the nick of time, he unleashed shockwaves from his hands, dispersing the pillar of fire.
He immediately dodged, intending to get close and attack with sound waves... But the Shadow Clone, seeing this, was not surprised but delighted, and instantly rushed forward, its pair of scarlet Sharingan staring intently at him.
"[This is bad...]"
Looking at those Sharingan, Dosu immediately felt something was wrong and was about to channel Chakra to unleash a sound wave attack.
But as soon as he moved, his vision blurred, and the Shadow Clone's face transformed into Orochimaru's!
Seeing that face filled with extreme fear, Dosu's face immediately turned deathly pale...
'Naraku Genjutsu, successful...'
Looking at Dosu, whose eyes were filled with fear, the Shadow Clone thought to itself and delivered a powerful kick to Dosu's head, imbued with Chakra.
With a 'thud'...
Dosu's eyes bulged, and he fell to the ground...
"Main body, this is for you..."
The Shadow Clone then bent down to find the Earth Scroll on Dosu, threw it over, and then dissipated with a 'bang'.
The other Shadow Clone also dispelled itself at the same time...
"So... so amazing!!"
Lee swallowed hard, astonished at the battle that was resolved in less than two breaths...
Is this the power of Uchiha Sasuke??
The Otogakure three-man squad that had made him so miserable was resolved so easily!!
Damn it... How could he defeat Sasuke and confess to Miss Sakura like this...
"Sasuke-kun is so cool... He defeated those annoying guys in just a few moves..."
Ino shouted, immediately rushing over to hug Sasuke, her face full of adoration.
She didn't mind Sasuke's Cursed Seal appearance at all!
In fact, she even found him more charming...
"Ino Pig... Don't you dare try to take advantage of him!!"
Sakura was about to ask about the Cursed Seal, but seeing this, she bristled with anger and pushed Ino away.
"Sasuke, are you alright with what's on you!
Why hasn't Naruto woken up yet??"
Shikamaru shrugged helplessly at the two girls vying for attention, then took two steps forward and asked.
He wondered who was talking about 'sisters united' against Otogakure just now, and now they were fighting again...
Women, truly troublesome creatures...
"Wuwu... Awu..."
Choji, though not speaking and still eating potato chips, also conveyed his concern.
"You don't need to worry about this... Thank you, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino."
Sasuke closed his Sharingan and said with a faint smile. The Cursed Seal patterns on his body flowed back to the Heavenly Cursed Seal as if alive.
Then, Sasuke's gaze shifted to Naruto... He didn't know if it was because of the Nine-Tailed or something else, but the Chakra emanating from Naruto was scarlet.
And Naruto, until now, showed no signs of waking up at all...
"I hope he can get through that..."
Thinking of Naruto's dark childhood as a Jinchuriki, Sasuke sighed from the bottom of his heart.
However, he wasn't too worried... With Naruto's mindset of being able to purify his own malice, Orochimaru's temptation shouldn't be a problem.
As long as the Nine-Tailed doesn't interfere...
"Wait, Naruto..."
Sakura, who was fighting with Ino, suddenly reacted when she heard this and hurried over to help Naruto change the wet towel on his forehead.
After Sasuke and Naruto fell unconscious with high fevers, she had been guarding them like this until the Otogakure ninjas appeared!
"Shikamaru... We don't need this, do you want it?"
Seeing Sakura's busy back, Sasuke's gaze shifted, and he tossed the Earth Scroll in his hand to Shikamaru.
They already had the Earth Scroll, so this one was useless to them...
"Is that so?
Then we won't be polite, Sasuke-kun..."
Ino next to him brightened at the words and immediately thanked Sasuke sweetly.
This way, their scrolls would be complete!
"Ino, that girl..."
Shikamaru couldn't help but sigh, holding his forehead, speechless at his love-struck teammate.
They were currently competing against each other, how could they easily reveal their information!
If Sasuke had any other ideas, then they would be in danger...
However... thankfully, Sasuke was also a trustworthy companion!
Tch, was he overthinking it...
