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

"This isn't naiveté; it's a dream that will one day become a reality!"

Naruto roared, unleashing a surge of power, and dragged his exhausted body forward to launch another fierce attack on Sasuke!

boom--

Bang bang bang!

The rapid and unparalleled punches and kicks poured down like a storm!

Sasuke was caught off guard and his brows furrowed.

"Does the worst student want to defeat the genius?"

"Naruto, with your current level of effort?"

"not enough……"

“It’s not enough!”

Sasuke quickly adapted to Naruto's taijutsu attacks, parried the ferocious onslaught, and took the opportunity to create distance before unleashing his own ninjutsu once again.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

In an instant, a massive flame transformed into a fireball, rolling in and forcing Naruto to dodge.

But then, two shuriken seemed to bypass the fireball's obscuring vision, spinning and attacking from both sides. Naruto was startled and quickly rolled to dodge again.

Sasuke's figure had already appeared in front of them.

Clearly, the Great Fireball Technique and the two shuriken were tactics that Sasuke had planned in advance.

boom--

A powerful knee strike landed heavily on Naruto's chin.

click-

Naruto's jawbone snapped instantly, several teeth fell out, his mouth was full of blood, and he was sent flying.

With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

Sasuke landed on the ground with his hands in his pockets.

"Hmph, still so easily defeated."

"Try again in ten years and then challenge me."

Sasuke was about to turn and leave.

However, Naruto struggled to his feet again.

"What……"

Sasuke's expression changed as well.

"That guy, he can actually..."

Naruto spat out blood, clenched his fists, and gasped for breath.

"Sasuke, as long as I can still stand up..."

"The battle is not over yet!"

He roared and charged forward again.

Sasuke frowned, but did not panic. He drew two kunai with his backhand, twirled them cleanly in his palm, and then launched a counterattack against Naruto.

"That's a lot!"

"Sassai!"

The two men, fighting desperately, collided violently!

Naruto's Leaf Whirlwind erupts once again!

boom!

With a loud bang, Sasuke kicked away one of his kunai, but the other kunai was already thrusting towards Naruto's throat!

Sasuke, even in his sleep, will not show any mercy!

It looked like Naruto was about to be defeated again.

laugh--

He suddenly stretched out his palm, letting the kunai pierce through his palm!

Blood gushed out instantly!

It sprayed onto both Naruto and Sasuke's faces at the same time.

Sasuke felt a jolt in his heart and instinctively closed his eyes.

Naruto, panting heavily, suppressed his exhaustion and pain, and surprisingly chuckled.

"Can the worst student never catch up with a genius?"

"I'm not..."

"Right in front of you?!"

Naruto, his palm pierced by the kunai, suddenly grabbed Sasuke's hand, while his other hand clenched into an iron fist and slammed it hard into Sasuke's cheek!

boom! ! !

With a friendly punch, Sasuke was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move or struggle!

[The host wins.]

The system coldly announced.

[Congratulations, host! You have increased your win rate to 50% in your battle against Uchiha Sasuke, achieving the "I'm evenly matched with Sasuke" achievement!]

[From now on, whether in dreams or in the real world, during battles with Uchiha Sasuke, your fighting spirit and will be enhanced, and your own strength will also be increased to a certain extent!]

Naruto was taken aback, then overjoyed.

what is this?

A Noble Phantasm against Sasuke?!

Chapter 42 Sasuke: I suddenly have a bad feeling... Please vote for me!

Naruto couldn't help but smile when he heard the system notification.

When fighting Sasuke, his fighting spirit and power increase!

This ability is practically tailor-made for me...

That guy from Saskatchewan...

They probably don't even know that they've already obtained such a powerful Noble Phantasm against Sasuke!

Naruto was so excited that he could hardly contain his excitement and wanted to wake up immediately so he could have a real battle with Sasuke in the real world!

Unfortunately, the system wouldn't grant his wish, and soon the next round of dream battles began.

But this is fine...

"You get this reward if you achieve a 50% win rate against Sasuke."

"If... my win rate against Sasuke reaches 100%, hehe, hehe..."

Naruto had already started daydreaming.

……

at the same time.

It was already past midnight at the Uchiha clan's residence, and Sasuke was still awake.

The training ground was completely silent under the cover of night, with only the occasional faint chirping of insects and birds.

buzzing-

Suddenly, the sound of a thin wire whizzing through the air could be heard, and Sasuke's figure appeared abruptly, flying through the tree branches.

Then...

Bang bang bang!

Several shuriken shot out rapidly, hitting the bullseye with perfect accuracy!

But Sasuke wasn't satisfied. With a sudden tug on the fine, tough wire in his hand, several shuriken changed direction mid-air and shot towards another scarecrow target.

Chi Chi Chi!

The shuriken, manipulated by the silk threads, pierced the scarecrow's heart, throat, and other vital organs with equal precision!

At the same time, Sasuke's figure landed lightly on the ground.

He was also covered in sweat, breathing heavily, and his face was very pale.

It has clearly been over-exploited.

But looking back at his successful training, he nodded slightly with a hint of satisfaction.

"Mastering shuriken techniques..."

"Although it's only a D-rank technique, if used well, it can take down the enemy by surprise."

He had just shown a faint, satisfied smile.

I quickly suppressed it myself.

"No, it's not enough..."

"Not enough!"

Sasuke slammed his fist into the tree trunk, causing the bark to peel off and wood chips to fly everywhere.

The image of that bloody moonlit night resurfaced in his mind...

The intense pain made him feel nauseous, and he almost vomited on the spot.

"U! Chi! Ha! Itachi!"

"I must kill you with my own hands!"

Sometimes he dared not think about it, did not want to think about it, but if he did not think about it, he would hate himself for forgetting the blood feud, and thus forced himself to think about it.

Sasuke lived in such nightmares and pain every day.

"Naruto……"

At that moment, the battle he had fought with Naruto came to mind.

This is the only person Sasuke can care about, besides Itachi Uchiha.

Of course, even he himself would never admit it.

They weren't even aware of it.

"hateful……"

"If the Third Hokage doesn't intervene, who will have the last laugh?!"

At that time, he was already preparing to unleash a desperate attack using his Sharingan.

But Naruto's state was also extremely strange and terrifying...

At that time, Naruto's killing intent was completely abnormal. It seemed that it was not the real him, but a terrible monster hidden deep within him!

"Naruto, that guy, has quite a few secrets hidden inside him too..."

Sasuke wasn't stupid; he could obviously see the strange attitude of the people around him towards Naruto.

That's different from keeping your distance from yourself.

It was filled with a strange hatred and loathing.

Of course, Sasuke doesn't need anyone's approval or understanding.

Naruto, on the other hand, is the exact opposite.

He was so lonely, longing for even the recognition and understanding of just one person.
