In the plaza in front of the Hokage building, gongs and drums roared, firecrackers exploded, red flags fluttered, and people swarmed like a tide... Countless children shouted Naruto's name, their eyes shining, cheering with excitement, their adoration and admiration evident.
Many girls even wiped away tears of excitement, desperately reaching out their hands, wanting to get as close to him as possible... Beside him, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Teacher Might Guy, Iruka, Teacher Mizuki, and many other important Konoha figures, both familiar and unfamiliar, looked at him with approving eyes... "From today onwards, I am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village!"
Naruto took off the Hokage hat and loudly declared to the clamoring, boiling crowd.
Immediately, the crowd erupted, shouting like mountains and oceans, turning into a huge wave.
"Hehe, hehehe..."
Naruto, in his sleep, couldn't help but grin foolishly.
But just then.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck!
Directly hitting the "Fifth Hokage-sama" on the roof of the Hokage building!
Rumble—
"Ah ah ah!"
Naruto immediately screamed, his body twitching in fright, cold sweat pouring down, instantly drenching his clothes.
However, what was even more terrifying was... he hadn't woken up!
"Wha-what was that just now?"
"Why am I being baptized by Lightning Release even in my dreams?!"
[It is detected that the host has had good sleep, but such a long time spent in dreams every night should not be wasted. Sleep is the best time to 'roll over' others!]
[Host, please begin your dream training immediately!]
Naruto almost died from shock upon hearing that.
"Wh-what the heck?!"
"I have to train in my dreams too?!"
"Tong Zi Ge, this really isn't good..."
"Give me a chance!"
[It is precisely to give the host more opportunities that the host is strictly required. If you don't seize every opportunity to catch up, how can you defeat those genius Ninja!]
...That's true, but isn't it a bit too much to have to train while sleeping!"
"I, I'm still just a child!"
[Host, please rest assured, dream training will not affect your growth and development. This system has undergone strict training and absolutely guarantees safety.]
Naruto: "I almost believed you!"
At this very moment... the scene in his dream suddenly changed, transforming into the Ninja Academy training ground.
Under the summer sun, tree shadows dappled the ground, cicadas chirped, and a gentle breeze swept across the entire field.
He could even hear the occasional laughter and playful shouts of students.
It was no different from the real Ninja Academy.
"Now, let's begin Ninja sparring."
"The first pair to fight is..."
"Naruto..."
"Sasuke!"
Immediately, everyone's gaze fell on him.
Naruto also suddenly understood.
So this is what dream training was all about!
"Ninja sparring?"
"And my opponent is..."
"That bastard Sasuke?!"
His originally despondent expression instantly changed, now filled with fighting spirit and eagerness!
Especially as he looked at Uchiha Sasuke's arrogant face, Naruto wished he could kick him twice right away!
"Tong Zi Ge, you should have said so earlier!"
"If I'd known it was fighting Sasuke, wouldn't I have started already!"
Teacher Iruka in the dream frowned.
"Naruto, what are you spacing out for?"
"First form the 'Confrontation Seal', and after the sparring, form the 'Reconciliation Seal'."
"I understand, Iruka."
In Naruto's vision, Uchiha Sasuke walked forward coolly with his hands in his pockets, his eyes full of disdain.
"Damn it!"
"Even Sasuke in my dream is so annoying!"
Moreover, the little girls around, including Sakura Haruno, were no different from reality, all screaming in infatuated excitement.
"Ah ah ah, Sasuke-kun is so handsome!"
"Beat Naruto!"
"How could that guy be Sasuke-kun's opponent?!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Only Hinata, quietly fiddling with her fingers, softly cheered and prayed for Naruto.
"G-go, Naruto-kun..."
This scene was too real, and Naruto couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality for a moment.
However... "What's wrong, Diao Che Wei?"
"Scared?"
Uchiha Sasuke's single sentence instantly made Naruto furious.
I don't care if it's a dream or reality!
If I don't beat you, Sasuke, into a pig's head today, then I'm not Uzumaki Naruto!
"Heh, Sasuke, today I'll let you taste my true power!"
"If you underestimate me, you'll die a miserable death!"
Uchiha Sasuke's expression changed.
"Hmph, boastful!"
Both of them simultaneously formed the 'Confrontation Seal', their thumbs clasped over their ring and pinky fingers, their index and middle fingers raised like swords.
As Iruka gave the command... "Sparring, begin!"
Naruto roared, the anger accumulated over years, the results of his desperate training these past days, finally... completely erupted in this instant!
Chapter 24: Murderous Naruto! The Ultimate Strongest Form Appears! Please give monthly votes!!!
Naruto's anger, suppressed for half his life, and the arduous training forced upon him by the system's Lightning Release baptism for so long, completely burst forth at this moment.
Bang—
His foot stomped hard on the ground, and his body shot out like a sharp arrow!
"So fast..."
Sasuke and all the teachers and students watching couldn't help but change their expressions, utterly shocked.
Naruto, full of confidence, lunged in front of Sasuke in the blink of an eye, delivering a fierce side-kick!
The result of his daily brutal special training with Rock Lee... manifested!
The power of this kick exploded, causing even Sasuke to show a hint of shock!
But his reaction was also extremely fast; he immediately bent his elbow, his right hand forming a hook punch, attempting to defend against Naruto's kick.
However... bang!
Naruto's stamina and explosive power far exceeded Sasuke's expectations.
Even with a successful block, he was still struck off balance, almost falling to the ground!
"What..."
Sasuke was a genius after all. In an instant, he slammed his left hand onto the ground. Not only did he not fall, but he also used the momentum to sweep his leg, aiming a fierce kick at the foot Naruto had just landed on!
But Naruto also used the momentum to temporarily retreat, dodging the attack.
"What's going on?"
"Sasuke almost got knocked down?"
"N-no way, is that Naruto?!"
"How could that Diao Che Wei suppress Sasuke-kun?!"
Sakura Haruno and many of Sasuke's supporters couldn't help but gasp.
Only Hinata's eyes glowed slightly, her clasped hands trembling, overjoyed for Naruto.
Iruka also couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"How did that Naruto suddenly become so strong?"
"What exactly is this..."
Sasuke, having just been at a disadvantage, scowled furiously, gritting his teeth. A kunai instantly appeared in his hand, spinning smoothly between his fingers, as he pursued Naruto.
Naruto likewise pulled out a kunai, holding it horizontally in his palm, its sharp edge glinting.
Clang—
The kunai clashed and struck, emitting a crisp clang and sparks.
"Damn it, this Diao Che Wei's strength is actually superior to mine!"
"What's going on..."
"However, in terms of technique, he's still far inferior to me!"
Sasuke brandished his kunai, stabbing swiftly, its sharp arc cutting through the air.
Naruto was indeed dazzled. In terms of moves and technique, he was certainly not as flawless and masterful as Sasuke.
Whoosh—
Naruto dodged as much as possible, but Sasuke's kunai still sliced through his sleeve.
"Damn it, that bastard Sasuke is still hard to deal with..."
