Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 321 Sasuke Gets a Beating

Outside the training ground.

Uchiha Yun sighed: "When your strength is not overwhelming, combat experience will play a significant role."

"Although Sasuke can still keep up at this speed, there's no time left to form hand seals. Choosing to unleash a Fire Release ninjutsu is the worst option."

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud bang echoed through the air.

Even though he inherited Itachi Uchiha's hand seal speed, it still takes a certain amount of time.

Sasuke, who had been kicked away, flipped over and instantly dodged the attack that followed.

too fast!

There wasn't enough time to form hand seals, so ordinary ninjutsu had to be abandoned.

So is this why Brother Yun didn't restrict the use of ninjutsu? Because it's completely meaningless.

Furthermore, with the Sharingan sealed away, the previous habits hadn't been reversed in a short time, making dynamic vision extremely important.

"You, who are called geniuses, are indeed amazing; you were able to keep up with my speed."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Six shuriken were thrown out, dodged, and bounced back, but still failed to achieve their goal, ending up stuck in the big tree behind Xiao Li.

"Bang!"

After blocking a side kick, Sasuke retreated again.

At the same time, he kept throwing out shuriken and kunai, but to no avail, yet the attack did not stop.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

A thunderous roar resounded, and flashes of lightning converged on Sasuke's right hand.

In an instant, the lightning-attribute chakra stimulated the cells in his body, increasing his speed even further.

Chidori!!

With a sudden turn and thrust, he streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning.

"boom!!"

Chidori's hand pierced the earth, and Lee, who easily dodged it, looked at Sasuke: "Although it was unexpected, it doesn't seem to be able to change direction."

Sasuke, panting, looked at Lee: "You are indeed a genius, at least a genius in taijutsu, and no one can deny that."

"The saying that one can become an excellent ninja simply by relying on taijutsu has been proven in your case."

At this point, Sasuke looked behind Lee: "A forbidden technique that can enhance taijutsu, right? The Eight Gates. Brother Yun once used the power of this technique to shatter the land with a single blow."

"In this situation, the best option is to prevent you from unleashing the power of this technique."

"You lost. Look around."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee's attention quietly shifted away from Sasuke.

Beams of light suddenly appeared around the two of them.

It's steel wire!

When?

When I dodged the useless shuriken and kunai, there seemed to be a flash of light, which I thought was just the reflection of the kunai.

But now it seems that the back ends of those shuriken and kunai are connected by steel wires.

"At the speed you were going, running on that sturdy steel wire would only result in your own head being severed. Brother Yun, you won't die, but the moment you touch the wire, that's when you fail."

As Sasuke spoke, he took out a kunai.

But just as he was about to cut the steel wire, Xiao Li on the other side suddenly unleashed even greater power.

"You came up with this method right after the first attack, didn't you? As expected of a recognized genius, even with your Sharingan restricted, you were still able to think of such a method."

"But... Teacher Kai is watching from the sidelines, that's why I can't lose!!"

"boom!!"

A surge of intense chakra erupted from Lee's body, and in one breath, the first two gates of the Eight Gates were opened.

"Not enough! Ah!!"

The next moment, he opened the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation: the Gate of Closure.

……

Outside the training ground.

Yun smiled and said, "You've just reached the point of opening the Du Gate, but your physical abilities can still be improved."

Kai nodded: "I've never worried about this child's efforts. He'll definitely surpass me in the future in terms of physical foundation."

Naruto, watching from the sidelines, also wore a grave expression: "Is this the forbidden technique? It can unleash such powerful chakra in an instant, but the purpose of the steel wire is to hinder its speed!"

Hinata's Byakugan was activated, and from her perspective, the flow of chakra within Rock Lee's body was simply unbelievable.

Is this... the lifting of restrictions?

"Naruto-kun... besides speed, he also has strength."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Li leaped up and, using the force of the impact, punched the ground.

"boom!!"

The loud noise drew everyone's attention.

The kunai that had been pinned to a large tree outside the training ground had been knocked down by the attack, greatly increasing its space to move.

"Click."

The crisp sound was hidden in the roar, but Yun heard it very clearly.

"The tendon is ruptured."

Akai nodded: "This is no reason to stop. Xiao Li's willpower can overcome this pain."

Yun looked at Kai: "This is a bit reckless. Although the Eight Gates technique itself requires constant tempering of will, only those with a will that surpasses that of humans can control the pain of the Gate of Death."

"But he's still too young..."

"He graduated a year earlier than Naruto and the others, so he's only thirteen years old, right? At that age, his body hasn't reached its peak yet."

"Trying to help a seedling grow faster than it will ruin him."

Upon hearing this, Kai met Yun's gaze, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "As someone who inherited the Eight Gates technique, aren't you also considered half of his teacher? I've been researching that technique for a long time; it can even heal long-standing hidden injuries."

???

Yun's eye twitched: "What have you been eating lately? I'm starting to suspect you're deliberately waiting for me at this training ground."

Kai nodded blatantly: "Yeah, didn't I tell you? Since those bastards just made their move, there's a good chance things will be calm for a few days."

……

at the same time.

Once the wire restricting movement was lowered in the training field, Erzhuzi clearly became the target.

Rock Lee, with his Sharingan activated, faced Sasuke, who had lost his Sharingan, and the arena was perfect for him to perform well.

There was simply no time to form hand seals for ninjutsu, and without the Sharingan's assistance, Sasuke, who hadn't adapted, could only go straight ahead.

So...

With a punch to the left and a kick to the right, Sasuke Uchiha, the rising genius of the Uchiha clan, got beaten up pretty badly.

Just one minute later, almost all of Xiao Li's tendons were ruptured, and he lay on the ground, barely alive.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, facing him, stood up unsteadily, his face bruised and swollen. His eyes, swollen and narrowed to slits, were a bluish-purple hue.

"You...you lost."

Sasuke, barely managing to stand despite his dizziness, displayed the pride of a genius.

He was also a special case; he allowed himself to lose to Naruto or even Hinata, but he would never allow himself to lose to a hot-blooded loser.

"Whoosh."

Uchiha Yun instantly appeared beside him, placing his hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and used the power of Yang Release to repair his body.

"You lost, Sasuke."

Erzhuzi, his face bruised and swollen, retorted defiantly, "He's down, but I'm still standing!"

Yun shook his head slightly: "Once the second gate of the Eight Gates is opened, one can unleash the forbidden body technique, the Outer Lotus. And Rock Lee, who has opened all five gates, can make the lotus bloom again: the Inner Lotus."

"He's useless because a friendly sparring match isn't a life-or-death struggle. He's afraid you might accidentally... die."

It got cold...

The last three words kept repeating in Erzhuzi's mind, like a demonic chant.

Seeing that Sasuke was able to stand steadily, Yun walked over to Lee, at least to make the kid more comfortable.

Naruto and Hinata ran over and helped Sasuke sit down.

"Sasuke... because of you, my wallet has already bled three liters of blood."

Erzhuzi looked over with a puzzled expression.

Naruto replied, "Boss Fox predicted the outcome before it even started. He said you were definitely going to lose. But what's our relationship? How could he possibly agree with that?"

"Then...then I made a bet, and I lost half my wallet."

These words made Sasuke's eye twitch again, pulling at his swollen eye bags and causing him to shudder in pain.

I didn't feel it when it started because I was focused, but now that it's over, it really hurts.

"Rock Lee... is amazing."

Naruto scratched his head: "My Sharingan was sealed by Brother Yun, otherwise..."

Sasuke shook his head: "The Sharingan comes from bloodline, from the Uchiha clan. Brother Yun's meaning is very clear: putting aside the Uchiha surname, can I really compare to a hardworking genius?"

"The result is obvious. With my Sharingan sealed, disregarding bloodline, I am no match for my opponent because they are more hardworking than me and more hardworking than us."

Naruto pouted, "Why do I have to be involved when I'm just talking about you?"

Hinata hesitated, "Naruto-kun... if the fox spirit is sealed away, you probably won't be able to win either, right?"

???

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then thought of the guy's exaggerated speed just now.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique wouldn't be enough for the opponent to kick, and the Wind Release ninjutsu would be just like Sasuke's, without even a chance to be used.

As for the Rasengan...

Forget it, if I can't control the ability to roll balls at will, I'll just be a sitting duck if I stop somewhere.

Sasuke could come up with a way to use steel wire to slow down its movements, but what about himself...?

I guess the only way to kill him is by using the massive amount of chakra he has and employing the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique? If I try that, I'll probably get a good beating from Brother Yun.

Moreover, the enormous amount of chakra is itself a bloodline power of the Uzumaki family.

……

On the other side, Yun, who had just let go of his hand, looked at Akai, whose face was full of tension.

"Now you know you're nervous?"

"Even Tsunade isn't confident she can fully recover from this injury. It could mean she'll never be able to be a ninja again. You're really brave."

This conclusion stunned Neji and Tenten, who then looked at Guy, who was still laughing and joking.

Are there any other options?

If it's going to be this complicated just for one match, then it's not worth it at all.

Kai glanced at the time: "It's already afternoon. How about I treat everyone in Class 7 to barbecue as a thank you?"

Yun withdrew her hand from the treatment: "He's out of immediate danger. Take him to the hospital for a painkiller injection. I'll go again after midnight."

Kai immediately stood up and bowed deeply: "I am extremely grateful!"

Yun found this sight somewhat amusing.

"We have a teacher-student relationship, and you were the one who taught me the Eight Gates technique. Why make it so formal?"

After saying that, Yun waved his hand: "Neji, Tenten, you two take Lee to the hospital and tell Kabuto I'll be there tonight. He'll understand."

"By the way, don't worry about Xiao Li. He'll be back on track tomorrow, all energetic and ready to continue the mission with you. Also, come to the barbecue restaurant afterwards; your teacher will treat us."

Neji and Tenten, who were somewhat dazed, came to their senses.

Every day, I take a stretcher out of the roll; this thing has played a very important role over the past year.

……

Yun turned around and looked at Class 7: "Let's go, Teacher Kai is treating us to barbecue, you guys come along."

With swollen eyes, Sasuke raised his hand and replied, "I'm not going. I can't eat barbecue like this."

Yun looked over, then said strangely, "Don't you want to ask Teacher Kai about how Xiao Li trains his physical skills?"

Kai gave a timely thumbs-up: "As rivals in our youth, only through competition can we truly shine! I will teach you everything about Xiao Li's training methods without reservation!"

"Also... if you want to train with me and Xiao Li, that's fine too."

Naruto nudged Sasuke with his elbow and whispered, "Boss Fox said before that this guy taught Brother Yun that forbidden technique called Eight Gates, whose power formed the Sea of ​​Ending."

???

Startled, Erzhuzi was a little confused, but he quickly recovered, stood up and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

"Please continue to guide me, Teacher Kai."

Yun smiled inexplicably, but didn't say anything.

The Eight Gates Formation is not suitable for Sasuke because while it opens up the body's limitations, the unleashed chakra prevents him from using any techniques.

Once the foundation is reached to a certain level, opening the Gate of Death can indeed grant power surpassing that of a peak ninja.

Even if it were oneself, without the power of the Secret Scroll's rules, one could only rely on the Secret Scroll's clone ability to revive.

In the original story, as I remember it, although Guy was pulled back by Six Paths Naruto after opening the Gate of Death, he was still ultimately confined to a wheelchair.

……

BBQ shop.

Watching Naruto devour his food, Guy couldn't help but glance down at his wallet.

After hesitating for a while, he finally asked Yun, "Aren't you old enough to drink? Aren't you afraid the Hokage will give you trouble for drinking like this?"

Yun glanced at Naruto: "Who said he's not old enough? It's not Naruto who's drinking, is there a problem?"

Naruto, whose beard had grown longer, raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes with the vertical pupils of a fox.

"I'm thousands of years old. Do I need your permission to have a drink? Young Yun hasn't said anything, so what are you babbling about?"

Kai didn't understand, but he also realized that his struggles were futile.

As for whether he'll end up being left to wash the dishes, that's up to fate.

"Kyuubi-sama... Is it alright for Naruto-kun to eat like this?"

Hinata's voice made Kurama pause.

You can argue with others, but this guy is no ordinary person. The strength with which he was knocked unconscious last time was no ordinary strength.
