Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

They charged at each other once again!

But the scene abruptly ended at that moment.

"Um?!"

Naruto returned to the chaotic dream world.

"What happened just now?"

[Congratulations, host, on your first successful defeat of your opponent. However, please do not be complacent. Enemies in dreams can also evolve and adjust their strategies based on their battles with you. One lucky victory means nothing. Please keep up the good work and continue your efforts!]

Naruto understood what he meant, but he still couldn't help but cheer.

"Hahaha……"

"I really defeated Sasuke just now!"

"Even though it was a dream, the feeling of sparring was completely real!"

"Even if you say it was just luck, it at least proves that I have a chance to defeat Sasuke!"

The system does not deny this.

【Yes. 】

"Alright! Let's continue the fight!"

Naruto's eyes immediately blazed with fire, his fighting spirit soaring as if boiling over.

Failure is the mother of success.

This is wrong.

Success is the mother of success.

People gain unprecedented self-confidence only when they have a successful experience, even if it's just once.

That's what Naruto is like now.

Originally, Uchiha Sasuke, whom he thought was far beyond his reach and unattainable, was finally proven by his efforts to be someone he could defeat!

Although Naruto may not like Sasuke on the surface, he knows deep down that Sasuke is the person he admires.

He was exceptionally talented and had outstanding abilities; wherever he went, he was praised as a genius!

But I am the undisputed bottom of the class...

He was cursing and swearing at Sasuke, but the person he most wanted to be acknowledged by was actually Uchiha Sasuke.

Naruto also knew very well that there was only one way to get someone like Sasuke to acknowledge him.

That is to completely defeat him!

Now, I can see a glimmer of hope...

……

In his dream that night, Naruto continuously engaged in simulated ninja sparring.

As the system said, "Uchiha Sasuke" will continue to improve and even come up with countermeasures based on the previous battle.

It's no longer possible for Naruto to defeat Sasuke in one move by relying on killing intent and being caught off guard.

However, when it came to a comprehensive skill comparison, Naruto was completely outmatched.

But again...

Naruto's combat experience was also improving rapidly through repeated simulated sparring sessions...

Have you ever seen Konoha Village at four in the morning?

Others don't know.

But Naruto saw the sun at 2 a.m.

They even sweat profusely under the sun, freely expressing their youth.

Sometimes, they would get beaten up until their faces were bruised and swollen, and their mouths and eyes were crooked.

He suddenly thought of Mr. Matt Kee.

That's right, youth is all about burning bright!

Naruto didn't know how long the passion had been burning, when suddenly the system's alarm sounded in his ears.

[It's 6:00 AM. Host, please get up immediately and prepare to begin your new day's cultivation!]

Naruto rubbed his eyes groggily, gazing at the gentle sunlight of the summer morning, feeling momentarily disoriented...

Am I awake?

The constantly changing scenes in his dream, which were no different from the real world, gave Naruto a dreamlike feeling that made it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

[The host has awakened. If he/she is still unable to regain consciousness, this system can provide a free baptism of lightning.]

"...I'm awake!"

Naruto yawned widely, threw off the covers, got out of bed, opened the window to look at the morning sunlight, and finally felt like he had completely returned to the real world.

It's like playing a game all night long, and it's a 100% realistic pure VR game.

"By the way, in my dream last night, I think I beat up Sasuke!"

"awesome……"

Naruto suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but smile wildly.

[In reality, the host fought Sasuke 37 times in his dream last night, winning only 3 times. It's more accurate to say that he was beaten up by Sasuke than to say he beat him up.]

Naruto was rinsing his mouth when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of water.

"Was the result really that bad?!"

However, he could accept it, after all, it was just the beginning...

Once someone defeats Sasuke, there will always be a second time.

Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly took out paper and pen, and with messy, ugly handwriting, wrote the four characters "Defeat Sasuke" in a big stroke.

He posted the note in the most conspicuous place, right below the note that read "Become Hokage".

Naruto clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

"Great, today is another day full of fighting spirit!"

"Keep trying, keep going!"

"Become Hokage and defeat Sasuke!"

Just as Naruto was gradually getting used to walking upside down,

[Upgrades in the host's various parameters have been detected, and the pressure the body can withstand has also increased significantly. Ordinary handstand walking is no longer sufficient for cultivation needs. Please train in weighted one-handed handstand walking! And...]

[While practicing physical cultivation, you can also complete your cultural studies!]

Naruto, who was doing a handstand, was momentarily stunned.

Then, a hysterical, heart-wrenching roar echoed throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

"what?!"

Chapter 26 Big News! Naruto Beats Up Sakura Haruno! Please vote with your monthly tickets!!!

"This...this isn't right, is it?!"

Naruto was on the verge of tears. He had finally managed to get used to the current pace of his efforts, and the system immediately gave him extra training!

"Weighted, weighted handstand, and on top of that, you have to study academic subjects at the same time?!"

[Please begin your cultivation immediately, or you will face the baptism of lightning.]

[Warning, countdown 5...]

"Ahhh! I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?!"

Naruto could only return to his room, take out two barbells for training, first do a handstand, then throw the barbell up with one hand and carefully catch it with the soles of his feet.

Suddenly, a feeling like Mount Tai pressing down on you overwhelmed you.

puff--

Naruto, like a toad, exhaled a breath and almost couldn't catch his breath.

Fortunately, these days of strenuous practice have not been in vain.

His formidable physical strength and astonishing endurance ultimately allowed him to withstand the immense pressure.

But doing a weighted handstand with one hand is a completely different story...

Naruto gritted his teeth, struggled to support himself on the ground with one hand, and slowly raised the other hand.

His whole body immediately swayed, as if he was about to collapse at any moment...

This requires not only physical strength, but also balance.

Naruto was instantly drenched in sweat, but this was just the beginning...

With a forced movement, he opened a textbook on ninja techniques using his raised hand.

"Ninja Song, Ninja Machine, when a large number of enemies become agitated, that's the best time to infiltrate..."

"Ah...ah!"

thump--

Unable to concentrate on two things at once, Naruto finally collapsed headfirst.

He sat up with a mournful face.

"Aaaaaah! That's impossible!"

[Host, please begin your cultivation immediately, or you will soon face the baptism of lightning.]

[Warning, countdown 5...]

"...Okay, bro."

Naruto struggled to stand upside down again, and following the previous procedure, he first threw the barbell, caught it with both feet, then raised one hand to pick up the textbook that had fallen to the ground, and began his trial again.

"...A quiet place is not a safe hiding place. The most important thing for a ninja is to seize the opportunity..."

"what--"

boom--

This time, he was so engrossed in reciting the text that he lost his coordination and the barbell suddenly fell to the ground.

But he didn't complain to the system anymore (because it was useless).

He gritted his teeth and threw the barbell up again before picking up his textbook again to continue memorizing.

"Oh, right, I also have the ability to create entries..."

Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up.

The power of the "Stamina Monster" modifier is activated!

Instantly, his already extraordinary physical strength increased even more significantly!

The previously unbearable pressure seemed to have lessened considerably...

"Wow, it really works!"

However, the [Stamina Monster] only enhances physical strength, not coordination, so performing a weighted one-handed handstand is still not an easy task.

[Knowledge Absorption] The power of the entry is activated!

Naruto instantly became completely focused, and the words in the textbook seemed to absorb water like a sponge, frantically flowing into his mind...

but……

thump--

Naruto fell to the ground again, getting a big bump on his head.

He rubbed the back of his head, hissing and gasping for breath.
