"That's not naivety, but a dream that will eventually become reality!"
Naruto roared, his power surging, dragging his exhausted body, and once again lunged at Sasuke!
Bang—
Bang bang bang!
Incredibly fast punches and kicks poured down like a torrential storm!
Sasuke was unexpectedly unable to parry for a moment, his brows furrowing.
"Does a Diao Che Wei think he can defeat a genius?"
"Naruto, with just your current effort?"
"It's not enough…"
"It's far from enough!"
Sasuke quickly adapted to Naruto's Taijutsu attacks. After blocking the furious assault, he took the opportunity to create distance and unleashed his Ninjutsu again.
"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"
Instantly, a huge flame transformed into a fireball, rolling towards them, forcing Naruto to dodge.
But then, two Shuriken seemed to bypass the vision obscured by the fireball, spinning and attacking fiercely from both sides. Naruto was startled and quickly rolled to dodge again.
Sasuke's figure, however, had already appeared in front of him.
Clearly, the Great Fireball Technique and the two Shuriken were all tactics Sasuke had calculated in advance.
Bang—
A powerful knee strike heavily slammed into Naruto's chin.
Crack—
Naruto's jawbone instantly fractured, several teeth fell out, his mouth filled with blood, and he was sent flying violently.
With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
Sasuke landed, hands in his pockets.
"Hmph, still so vulnerable."
"Come challenge me again after another ten years of effort."
Sasuke was about to turn and leave.
However, Naruto struggled and got up again.
"What…"
Sasuke's expression also changed.
"That guy, he can still…"
Naruto spat out the blood in his mouth, clenched his fists, and gasped heavily.
"Sasuke, as long as I can still stand…"
"The battle isn't over yet!"
He roared and actually charged forward again.
Sasuke frowned but didn't panic. He drew two kunai with a flick of his wrist, spun them deftly in his palm, and then counter-attacked Naruto.
"Naruto!"
"Sasuke!"
The two of them clashed with a desperate strike!
Naruto's Leaf Whirlwind bloomed once more!
Boom!
With a loud bang, he kicked away the kunai in one of Sasuke's hands, but the other kunai, taking advantage of the momentum, swiftly lunged towards Naruto's throat!
The Sasuke in the dream would not show mercy!
Just as Naruto was about to lose again.
Hiss—
He suddenly thrust out his palm, letting the kunai pierce deeply into his palm!
Blood instantly gushed out!
Splashing both Naruto and Sasuke's faces at the same time.
Sasuke's heart trembled, and he instinctively closed his eyes.
Naruto gasped heavily, enduring the fatigue and pain, and actually let out a chuckle.
"Can a Diao Che Wei never catch up to a genius?"
"Aren't I…"
"Right in front of you?!"
Naruto's palm, pierced by the kunai, suddenly gripped Sasuke's hand, while his other hand clenched into an iron fist, delivering a powerful blow to Sasuke's cheek!
Boom!!!
A friendly punch to the face sent Sasuke flying violently, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move or struggle!
The system coldly announced.
"Host wins."
"Congratulations to the Host for increasing his win rate to 50% in the battle against Uchiha Sasuke, achieving the 'I'm 50/50 with Sasuke' achievement!"
"From now on, whether in dreams or reality, in battle against Uchiha Sasuke, your fighting spirit and morale will be boosted, and your own strength will also receive a certain degree of enhancement!"
Naruto was stunned, then overjoyed.
What was this?
A special weapon against Sasuke?!
Chapter 42 Sasuke: I suddenly have an ominous premonition… Please give me monthly tickets!!!
Naruto's mouth couldn't stop curving upwards when he heard the system's prompt.
When fighting Sasuke, battle intent increases, strength increases!
This was simply an ability tailor-made for him… That guy Sasuke… surely doesn't know yet that he has acquired such a powerful weapon against Sasuke!
Naruto was incredibly excited, barely able to contain his exhilaration, wanting to wake up immediately and have a real, no-holds-barred fight with Sasuke in the real world!
Unfortunately, the system would not grant his wish, and soon the next round of dream battles began again.
But this was good too… "A 50% win rate against Sasuke gives such a reward."
"If… the win rate against Sasuke reaches 100%, hehe, hehe…"
Naruto had already begun to fantasize… Meanwhile.
At the Uchiha Clan compound, it was deep into the night, and Sasuke was still awake.
On the training ground under the night sky, all was silent, with only the occasional faint chirping of insects and birds.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Suddenly, the sound of a fine wire cutting through the air came, and Sasuke's figure suddenly appeared, soaring through the tree branches.
Then… bang bang bang!
Several Shuriken shot out rapidly, hitting all the bullseyes with pinpoint accuracy!
But Sasuke was not satisfied. With a sudden tug of the fine, tough wire in his hand, several more Shuriken abruptly changed direction in mid-air, all shooting towards another scarecrow target.
Swish swish swish!
The Shuriken, manipulated by the wire, also accurately pierced the scarecrow's heart, throat, and other vital points!
At the same time, Sasuke's figure landed lightly on the ground.
He was also covered in sweat, breathing heavily, his face very pale.
Clearly, he had overexerted himself.
But looking back at his successful training, he still nodded slightly with some satisfaction.
"Wire-manipulated Shuriken Jutsu…"
"Although it's only a D-rank Jutsu, if used well, it can unexpectedly take down enemies."
He had just shown a faint, satisfied smile.
But quickly suppressed it forcibly.
"No, it's not enough…"
"It's far from enough!"
Sasuke slammed his fist against the tree trunk, making the bark peel off and wood chips fly.
In his mind, that bloody moonlit night reappeared… The intense pain made him nauseous, almost making him vomit on the spot.
"U! Chi! Ha! Itachi!"
"I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"
Sometimes he dared not think, did not want to think, but if he didn't think, he would hate himself for forgetting the deep-seated hatred, thus forcing himself to think again.
Sasuke lived in such nightmares and pain every day.
"Naruto…"
At this moment, the battle with Naruto appeared in his mind.
This was the only thing, besides his hatred for Uchiha Itachi, that could make Sasuke feel a bit concerned.
Of course, even he himself would never admit this.
In fact, he wasn't even aware of it.
"Damn it…"
"If the Third Hokage hadn't intervened, who would have had the last laugh?!"
At that time, he was already prepared to unleash a desperate Sharingan attack.
But Naruto's state was also very strange and terrifying… At that time, Naruto's killing intent was completely abnormal, as if it wasn't his original self, but some terrifying monster deeply hidden within him!
"That guy Naruto also hides quite a few secrets…"
Sasuke wasn't stupid; of course, he could see the strange attitude of the people around Naruto.
It was different from the respectful distance they kept from him.
It was tinged with strange hatred and disgust.
Of course, Sasuke didn't need anyone's approval or understanding.
Naruto, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.
He was too lonely, yearning for the approval and understanding of even a single person.
