Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 38 Yamanaka Ino: I've found a new treasure!

Due to Sasuke Uchiha's intervention, Iruka had to temporarily change the group assignments.

Iruka suggested pairing Yosuke Shirakumo with Sasuke Uchiha, while pairing Naruto Uzumaki with Kiba Inuzuka. To be honest, Iruka didn't want to do this, as he worried that either Yosuke Shirakumo or Sasuke Uchiha would be a blow to their morale if they lost.

In particular, Shiraku Yosuke achieved the highest score in all subjects except practical classes in less than a month after enrolling, making him a genius that is rare to find in a few years.

"Form the seal of opposition!"

After Iruka finished speaking, he stepped back.

Hakuun Yosuke and Uchiha Sasuke simultaneously formed opposing hand seals. After completing the seals, Uchiha Sasuke made the first move and charged towards Hakuun Yosuke.

There's no need to use a cursed seal when dealing with peers.

The thought flashed through Baiyun Youjie's mind, and at the same time, Uchiha Sasuke's moving figure appeared in his mind. The external information that Baiyun Youjie received through his ability also allowed him to judge what Uchiha Sasuke wanted to do next.

He lunges forward, throwing a punch at the face, his right hand poised to draw his ninja tool in attack.

Yosuke Shirakumo covered his limbs with chakra, which greatly increased his speed and strength. The next second, he also rushed towards Sasuke Uchiha. While raising his hand to block the fist, he pressed the hand that was about to take out a ninja tool back down.

At the same time, he swept his foot, causing Sasuke to lose his balance and fall backward to the ground.

This guy.

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and thought to himself, he never expected to be defeated in just one exchange.

However, Sasuke Uchiha braced himself with his left hand and turned the tables on his waist, kicking directly at Yosuke Shirakumo; but Yosuke Shirakumo's mental simulation had already anticipated Sasuke Uchiha's plan.

He grabbed Sasuke's ankle with precise backhand, then used chakra to throw him away.

Uchiha Sasuke rolled twice on the ground before quickly standing up. When he looked at Shirakumo Yosuke again, his eyes were filled with vigilance and anger.

"hateful."

How can even a freshman be so strong? Did he not improve at all before?

In the taijutsu exchange just now, Uchiha Sasuke did not gain any advantage and even felt great pressure, so he thought of ninjutsu.

The hands quickly form mudras, the last one forming a Yin mudra.

Seeing this, Iruka sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to stop him: "Sasuke, stop!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A raging fire instantly erupted from Uchiha Sasuke's mouth, transforming into a massive fireball three to four meters in diameter as it hurtled towards Shirokumo Yosuke.

At almost the same time, Shiraku Yosuke took out four shuriken and threw them with chakra. A simple shuriken throw might be scattered by the Great Fireball, but only by attaching chakra to increase the throwing force can they pass through the Great Fireball.

After throwing the shuriken, Shirokumo Yosuke quickly formed several hand seals, and the next second his figure was engulfed by raging flames.

"Yosuke-kun!!"

Yamanaka Ino screamed in terror, and even the other students watching looked shocked and frightened. This was the first time they had ever had an accident in a real battle, and it was possible that someone had died.

When Sasuke saw the shuriken coming through the fireball, he immediately rolled to the side to dodge. However, after getting up, Sasuke saw the black shadow burning in the flames and felt a sense of fear and regret.

"W-How could this be? Wouldn't Iruka-sensei have stopped it?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke Uchiha felt a chill on his neck.

While he was filled with fear and regret, a training kunai was already pressed against his neck.

"I'm fine, Sasuke. That's a wooden stake for the Substitution Jutsu."

Hearing the sound behind him, Uchiha Sasuke turned around and saw that Shirokumo Yosuke was standing there unharmed; looking at the black shadow that had been burned by the Great Fireball, it was indeed the shape of a wooden stake.

This immediately relieved Sasuke; he hadn't accidentally hurt his classmate. Thank goodness.

However, after the initial fear subsided, Sasuke Uchiha felt a renewed sense of resentment. He had lost this practical test, and lost decisively.

After seeing that Shiraku Yosuke was alright, the other students' fear disappeared, but Yamanaka Ino's legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground. She had been so worried and scared just now.

"In the practical test, Yosuke Shirakumo won."

Iruka announced loudly, while also breathing a sigh of relief. He had just been about to teleport to save the person, but after seeing Shirakumo Yosuke form the hand seals for the Substitution Jutsu, he suppressed the urge to save them.

Hakuun Yosuke put away his kunai, then formed a reconciliation hand seal with Uchiha Sasuke and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Sasuke-kun. That ninjutsu was incredibly powerful."

"You won."

Despite his resentment, Uchiha Sasuke coldly formed a reconciliation seal with Shirakumo Yosuke.

At this moment, Iruka loudly announced, "Alright, next match, Nara Shikamaru vs. Aoki Shin."

After Shiraku Yosuke and Uchiha Sasuke returned to the crowd, they were immediately surrounded by people. Unlike Shiraku Yosuke's group, which included both men and women, Uchiha Sasuke was only accompanied by female classmates, and he had a cold expression on his face.

As for Shirakumo Yosuke, Naruto Uzumaki immediately moved closer to him, grinning and saying, "Yosuke, you're amazing! Even that arrogant Sasuke isn't a match for you!"

Bai Yunyoujie laughed and said, "It's nothing, just a friendly spar, Naruto-kun."

"I didn't expect that you, Yosuke, would defeat Sasuke in less than a month."

"Hmm, I'd like to spar with you too, Yosuke."

The last sentence was spoken by Kiba Inuzuka. Previously, his goal had always been Sasuke, who was the best in the class. Now that Yosuke Shirakumo has defeated Sasuke Uchiha, his goal has naturally changed.

Shirokumo Yosuke smiled and replied a few words, then turned their attention to the students competing on the field.

The next match, while not as exciting as the one between Shirakumo Yosuke and Uchiha Sasuke, was still very intense.

A short while later, just as Shirakumo Yosuke was watching the fierce battle between Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino quietly crept up to Shirakumo Yosuke and casually whispered, "Yosuke-kun, I didn't expect you to be so amazing."

Seeing Ino's evasive expression, Shiraku Yosuke suddenly wanted to tease her, so he said, "Maybe it's because Ino-san is watching, so I don't want to lose."

"Idiot, you idiot!"

Yamanaka Ino felt a pang of embarrassment and blurted out in a low voice.

Ino's comment about being an idiot made people nearby turn to look at her. Then, she gave an embarrassed smile and waited for the other classmates to turn away before whispering in a cute but fierce tone to Shirakumo Yosuke, "No, don't say such misunderstandings, you idiot."

"Sorry, I was just joking, Ino-san."

Shirokumo Yosuke apologized, "Actually, I've been secretly training in taijutsu with a senior. Maybe it's because of his excellent teaching that I was able to beat Sasuke."

"That's still very impressive."

Yamanaka Ino tilted her head and said, but after a few seconds she couldn't help but steal another glance.

Good-looking, top of her class, incredibly strong, gentle-spoken, and had even saved her life. Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but recall her dream of being a hero saving a damsel in distress last night. Then, glancing at Sakura who was stealing glances at Uchiha Sasuke, she silently thought to herself...

"You silly, wide-foreheaded fool, I've found a new treasure!"

I need your votes, guys!
