Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Sasuke attempted to strike, but his movement was intercepted by Yuki before it could even begin!

In the end, Sasuke couldn't throw a single punch or kick, and his face and body were covered in fist marks!

Sakura Haruno, watching from the stands as her beloved was brutally beaten by a girl her own age, was both angry and anxious, yet helpless: "Sasuke-kun, what are you doing? Hit her already!"

Sasuke, who had been brutally beaten, was furious: "This can't be! This can't be happening! I have the power of the Sharingan!! Why am I in such a predicament?!"

Xiaoxue said slowly, "Didn't Uzuki Yugao teach you not to rely too much on the Sharingan?"

Of course I've taught it.

Sasuke believed that the Sharingan was proof of his Uchiha clan identity, a proud and noble bloodline. He even thought that Yugao, who was not a Uchiha, possessing the Sharingan was disrespectful. However, since she was his mentor, he was lenient with her, but in his heart he did not agree, believing that Yugao could not understand this power. However, Sasuke never dared to mention it openly.

Therefore, Sasuke ignored Yugao's teachings to not rely on the Sharingan!

"You're not from the Uchiha clan!! Stop making a fuss here, I'll show you the greatness of the Sharingan right now!" *Sizzle!* Sasuke looked up, meeting Yuki's gaze, and the two tomoe released their light!

This is a power he has never shown to outsiders!

—Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Click! Xiaoxue's movements indeed stopped.

"Hahahaha, now you know how powerful I am!!!" Sasuke grinned maliciously, lightning gathering in his right palm as he mercilessly thrust it towards Xiaoxue.

However, Xiaoxue's hand lightly reached out and clamped down on Sasuke's wrist: "The Sharingan isn't something you're the only one with..."

"Liar..." Sasuke looked up and was shocked to see that in Yuki's eyes, there was something even more sublime than his own: the three-tomoe Sharingan. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! This is impossible! You're not an Uchiha, so why do you have the Sharingan?!"

Xue said indifferently, "Who said I'm not Uchiha? My real name is Uchiha Xue. The person who taught you your skills, Uzuki Yugao, is my aunt."

"Your... aunt? Then could it be that you are..."

"Ah, that's right, my father is the village chief of the Hidden Shadow Village, the Shadow Uchiha Yu!" Xiaoxue finally revealed her identity to Sasuke.

This fact left Sasuke stunned.

"Sasuke, as a member of the same clan, I have always regarded you as a friend and family member, but I simply cannot stand by and watch you. I don't want to put on airs like a princess, but it is necessary for you to realize who gave you a place to stay!"

*Zzz!* Xiaoxue's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Boom! !

Sasuke's eyes widened, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped by a giant hand.

When he came to his senses, he found himself pinned to the awl!

This is the space of the Golden Illusion Technique!

Whoosh! Xiaoxue's figure appeared before him, her eyes as cold as they were in the outside world, but with an added warning: "Don't take other people's kindness for granted, and don't think that you're the only one who's been hurt!"

Sasuke retorted angrily, "What do you know?! You princess who grew up in a comfortable environment, what right do you have to criticize me?!"

Xiaoxue said frankly, "Yes, I was born into a comfortable life and haven't experienced much of the world, but my eyes see things more clearly than yours because there are too many children in Dark Hidden Village who have suffered worse than you. By using them as a mirror, I can understand many things, even if I haven't experienced them myself."

"Don't always think you're the only one who's unfortunate, and then use that misfortune as a license for cruelty. Do you know that Hinata, whom you once belittled and hurt, still managed to smile at others after being hurt by her own father, only to silently shed tears when she returned to my side? And look at you..."

"Stop causing trouble for those around you! I am my father's daughter, and I must protect the village he built. As for those who cause trouble, this princess will not tolerate them! You can live in this illusion and reflect on your actions!"

As Xiaoxue's icy words fell, her figure vanished into the blur, cracking and sputtering! The sky above cracked open, and towering mountains rained down, crashing down on Sasuke...

In reality.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" Sasuke let out a series of shrill screams, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed limply in front of Yuki.

"Uchiha Sasuke, from now on, I hope you will be careful with your words and actions, at least within the Hidden Shadows Village..."

With a hiss, the three tomoe in Xiaoxue's eyes disappeared, and she turned away coldly.

"Uchiha Sasuke, defeated! Kobayashi Yuuki, advances to the finals! Uzumaki Naruto, Gaara, enter the arena!"

Chapter 281 Bonds, Companions!

Sasuke was carried off on a stretcher. As Yuki walked off the field and brushed past Naruto, she said, "Naruto, your opponent is very strong. Be careful!"

"Ah, I know." Naruto nodded and walked onto the field.

Ahead of him, Gaara appeared frantic, just as he had said, he couldn't wait any longer!

Wow!!!

Before Ebisu could even begin, the sand inside the gourd burst forth!

Ebisu was stunned and at a loss for what to do.

"Ebisu-sensei, get out of the way!" Naruto shouted.

"Sigh, never mind..." Ebisu simply formed a hand seal and disappeared from the spot with a bang.

Sandstorm!

shhhhhh!

Countless sand bullets shot towards Naruto, covering a huge area!

Naruto forms hand seals, Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

Ten shadow clones simultaneously formed the Wind Release hand seals!

—Wind Release: Great Net Technique!

Boom! The storm combined to form a large wind wall, which collided with the sand and grenade barrage, exploding into sand and dust that filled the sky and obscured visibility.

Whoosh! Naruto's main body conjured a Rasengan, while a shadow clone mixed in lightning attribute energy, transforming it into a Lightning Release: Rasengan.

Two shadow clones threw Naruto's real body into the sandstorm ahead.

"Take this!!" The moment he appeared, Naruto threw the Raibou (lightning bolt) in his hand at Gaara.

Gaara frowned slightly and activated the sand defense.

Whoosh! However, Lei Wan disappeared during flight.

"..." Gaara watched coldly as he removed the sand shield.

Seconds later, Boom!! Lightning exploded on his body!!

"What!?" Gaara was blasted away and lay on his back on the ground, parts of his Sand Armor were shattered.

Naruto charged at him!

"!!" Gaara reached out: "Sand Binding Coffin!"

Sand swarmed towards Naruto...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Naruto conjured a Rasengan in each hand, dancing as he ran, battling the sand as he closed in on Gaara!

"Hehehe!" Gaara raised his hand.

A pair of sand hands gathered at Naruto's feet and grabbed his ankles.

"What!?" Naruto was caught off guard, lost his balance, and fell to the ground!

The sand clung to him, completely enveloping him!

"Oh no!!!" Many people present exclaimed in alarm.

"Hehehe~ Shine~~!!! (Die!)" Gaara grinned maliciously, his hand clenching tightly.

—A sand waterfall funeral!

*Snap!* The sand tightened, applying immense pressure from all directions. To date, no one has survived this attack!

boom!!!!!

Suddenly, the sand exploded...

Naruto stood there, head bowed, his clothes tattered, his body covered in blue chakra flames.

Gaara stared intently ahead: "This kind of chakra... how is this possible!?"

"You're really strong. If I hadn't released 50% of my chakra at the last moment, things would have really gone terribly wrong..." Naruto smiled and looked up. "Also, the next move might hurt a lot, so be prepared!"

boom!!

Naruto charged towards Gaara, his speed even more astonishing than before!

"Damn it!!" Gaara slammed his hands into the ground, using chakra to pressurize the hardest minerals gathered from the earth into the sand, creating a massive, sturdy statue in front of him!

The ultimate defense—the Shield of Shukaku!!

Naruto leaped into the air, releasing the Rasengan from his raised hand. As chakra continued to flow into it, the Rasengan expanded to its limit, crashing down on the statue below with the force of a mountain.

——"Super large jade spiral pill!!"

boom!!!!

The moment they made contact, the features and shape of Shukaku's Shield were erased, but the huge sand body was not destroyed immediately and still stood stubbornly!

It wasn't until Naruto charged forward and unleashed the Giant Rasengan that the sand of Shukaku's Shield was broken apart layer by layer by the rapidly spinning chakra, scattering in all directions until the entire structure began to collapse...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!" Naruto roared, using all his strength, his palm suddenly spinning... crack crack crack crack crack!! The fabric of his right sleeve tore in a spiral, revealing a yellowish-white arm!

boom!!!!

The sand body of Shukaku's shield completely collapsed and disintegrated as the chakra spun faster...

"Aaaaaah!!!" Gaara was thrown back by the shockwave, crashing into the wall of the spectator stand before sliding down to the ground.

"Kill, kill you!!!" Gaara's pupils had turned into Shukaku's eyes, and he struggled to get up.

Kazekage Rasa's eyes narrowed sharply: "Is the seal on Shukaku going to be broken here?"

But Naruto rushed forward, sat directly on him, and punched him hard in the face with both fists: "Just now, you tried to kill my comrade. It was completely unnecessary, but you still did it!!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

With each punch, a layer of sand would fall off Gaara's face.

“Comrades…” Gaara murmured, lowering his raised hand. He asked incomprehension, “Comrades? What are those? Why are you so angry when I want to kill your comrades?”

In Gaara's mind, there is only one reason to fight for oneself, so he is eager to know what the power called 'comrade' that drives the boy in front of him is.

Stopping his punch, Naruto declared loudly, "Of course! Comrades are people bound together by deep bonds. You want to kill my comrades, which means you want to destroy the bonds between us. How can I not be furious?!"
