"Naruto, you seem a bit overconfident... I also have that kind of power, so why do you think you've surpassed me...?"
Hearing Naruto's challenge and the system prompt, Sasuke's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he spoke without ceremony.
However, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief... It seemed Naruto hadn't been affected much mentally by the Cursed Seal!
At most, he was a little lost in himself due to this sudden power; a good beating would fix him... As he spoke, Cursed Seal markings also appeared on Sasuke's neck, rapidly spreading over half his body. "Stop it... Nalu Duo, Sasuke..."
Seeing their tense, confrontational stance, Sakura's delicate body trembled, and she immediately stepped between them, crying as she tried to stop them.
"Sakura..."
Seeing the goddess Sakura blocking him, Naruto subconsciously murmured, stopping his movements.
Immediately, Naruto's eyes suddenly changed, and he looked at Sasuke again... "You, how do you also have this power??"
Looking at Sasuke, who was also Cursed Seal-transformed, Naruto asked, unwilling to accept it.
He had just managed to break free from Orochimaru's deception to gain the power of the Cursed Seal, so how did Sasuke also get it??
And he looked so calm and collected... This feeling, it was as if he was a ridiculous clown...
"If I could, I wouldn't want this power either!
But there's no choice; this isn't an answer we can choose.
Naruto, since you've awakened, you should have met him... Between comrades and power, what is your choice?"
Sasuke glanced at Sakura, then shifted his gaze, speaking. He wanted to test if Naruto had changed.
After all, that guy still had a Nine-Tailed inside him!
One slip-up, and the most reliable comrade could become the most dangerous guy... "Does that even need to be said? Of course, I choose comrades!
That snake demon called Orochimaru, I will definitely defeat him... Damn it, how dare he bite me!!"
Naruto shouted without hesitation. He wouldn't admit that Sakura's shouts had woken him up.
That would be too embarrassing... But, what Orochimaru said about the Nine-Tailed Night was different from what Mizuki said?
Which one was true? Which one was false??
"No... When did you wake up, you guy??"
Suddenly, Naruto thought of something, his pupils widening as he stared at Sasuke, asking with a trembling voice.
Both were afflicted by the Cursed Seal, yet Sasuke had woken up before him!
Didn't this mean he still couldn't surpass Sasuke?!
Damn it, unforgivable... "Sasuke-kun woke up yesterday... Naruto, now is not the time to be willful.
We already have the scroll, we should hurry back to the tower to submit the mission..."
Sakura quickly interjected, a hint of fear flickering in her eyes as she looked at the Cursed Seal Naruto and Sasuke.
The situation with these two guys must be reported to Kakashi-sensei as soon as possible...
She felt like they were a little abnormal!
"No, I still need to prove my strength..."
Naruto hesitated for a moment, then still stared at Sasuke with burning eyes, poised for action.
What if he woke up before him?
How would he know who was stronger without trying... "Are you sure??"
A crimson flash appeared in Sasuke's eyes, and two tomoe in his pupils spun rapidly as he stared at Naruto, a playful smirk on his lips.
Naruto was strong now, but he wasn't the same Sasuke as before!
"Of course..."
Naruto, who had already made up his mind, saw Sasuke's dismissive attitude and shouted, instantly erupting.
Before Sakura could react, he turned into an afterimage, bypassed Sakura, and punched directly at Sasuke's face... [I see it...]
Looking at the attack as fast as a meteor, Sasuke's pupils constricted, and he instantly raised his hand to grab.
Under Naruto's astonished gaze, he firmly grasped Naruto's fist!
Almost at the same time,
his other hand quickly formed a hand seal... "Naruto, it's still not too late to surrender..."
Looking at Naruto's surprised expression, Sasuke advised him while forming hand seals.
"One-handed hand seal!!
Hmph, I won't lose to you..."
Naruto looked at the Lightning Release Jutsu that was about to be completed and roared, the crimson Chakra around him turning into whips lashing out at Sasuke.
[What??]
Seeing this attack method, which resembled a Tailed Beast Cloak, Sasuke's expression changed slightly, and the lightning snake in his hand instantly shot out.
The two attacks fiercely collided in mid-air, making a crackling sound before dissipating... But just then, Sasuke formed another hand seal with one hand.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu..."
Under Naruto's surprised gaze, Sasuke completed the hand seal with one hand and shouted.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Three Shadow Clones instantly appeared. Two surrounded and attacked Naruto, while one stayed by Sasuke's side, helping him rapidly condense a Rasengan.
"You, you've already learned my Shadow Clone Technique??
What is that thing?
Damn it, my left hand is caught by him, so I can't form hand seals to use Shadow Clone Technique."
Naruto defended against the attacks of the two Sasuke clones, while looking at the already formed Rasengan, fuming!
"You lose, Naruto..."
As the Rasengan finished condensing, Sasuke waved the ball in his hand, stating his conclusion.
He wasn't worried about exposing the secret of the Rasengan at all... He would have to use this thing sooner or later, so what was there to be afraid of if he cultivated it without stealing or robbing??
"No way... Isn't that just a ball of Chakra?
What's there to be afraid of..."
Looking at the unremarkable Rasengan, Naruto immediately scoffed, intending to break free from Sasuke's right hand to form hand seals and cast a Jutsu.
But Sasuke wouldn't give him the chance... A smirk played on his lips, and he directly dragged him towards a large tree that several people could embrace.
"Huh?
What are you going to do??"
Seeing that they were about to hit the tree, Naruto's face turned bitter as he shouted.
But his left hand was firmly held by Sasuke, making it impossible to break free... Sakura, realizing what was happening, also chased after them, fearing that something unexpected might happen to the two of them... "Watch closely..."
Sasuke didn't say anything more, directly smashing the Rasengan heavily onto the large tree.
The next moment,
under Naruto and Sakura's unbelievable gazes, they saw the center of the large tree, which several people could embrace, instantly shredded by the exploding Rasengan.
In less than a breath, the solid wood tree was torn open with a spiral-shaped hole that extended over a meter in all directions... In an instant, the large tree, losing its support, continuously creaked...
In less than a second, it crashed down, stirring up countless dust and birds... Fortunately, Sasuke's Sharingan observed the direction of the tree's collapse, and he promptly led the two to dodge, preventing any accidents.
"This, this has to be a joke..."
Naruto no longer had his previous confidence, looking at the broken opening of the fallen tree, still shaken.
If he had been hit by that ball just now... *hiss*... Just thinking about it made Naruto shiver, his hands and feet turning cold.
He would be dead, absolutely dead!
The kind that leaves no bones behind... At this moment, Naruto no longer thought about being the top student...
He only wanted to go find Kakashi with full of anger to argue, asking why he was giving Sasuke special lessons again!
He must learn such a powerful Ninjutsu!!
"This is too, too strong..."
At the same time, Sakura also recovered, her pretty face pale, a mix of surprise and joy.
She was happy for Sasuke's strength, but she also had a clear understanding of the chasm-like gap between them.
She couldn't catch up, she simply couldn't catch up... [Mission complete, reward obtained: 1 unit of Chakra...]
