Chapter 43: Is Naruto actually very strong?
in the audience.
In real life, Naruto was completely devastated.
He sat on pins and needles, fidgeting constantly, staring at the screen with a frustrated expression.
Every movement of "Naruto" on the screen made him feel uncomfortable and awkward, as if he had swallowed a worm.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Sakura was also speechless, her mind in turmoil.
She secretly glanced at Naruto beside her, only to see him staring intently at the screen with a complicated expression.
Sakura sighed silently and turned her gaze back to the sunny Naruto on the screen, who was focused on reading.
Does Sasuke like guys like that?
Sakura couldn't help but let her mind wander.
Sasuke usually ignores all girls, and Naruto has often been scolded by Sasuke because of Naruto.
In the dream, Naruto is now so outstanding and considerate that even she, who has long harbored a crush on Sasuke, has developed feelings for him.
If Sasuke's dreams are truly a reflection of his subconscious, then wouldn't that mean...?
Does she really have no chance at all?
Thinking about this, Sakura felt a little uneasy, unable to tell whether it was disappointment at Sasuke's affection or shock at the strange situation before her.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Kakashi narrowed his single eye, staring at the book Naruto had just raised on the screen, and suddenly understood something.
"The Legend of Genxing Nin"...
Isn't that Jiraiya-sama's debut novel?
Kakashi certainly knew about this book.
When he was a teenager, his teacher Minato Namikaze read this book and greatly admired the protagonist's perseverance. He even named his unborn son "Naruto" because of it.
In his dream, Naruto is actually reading this book, and it was recommended to him by his father...
Kakashi became increasingly certain that this dream world was not simply a reflection of reality, but rather seemed to have truly existed.
It's so realistic that even details about the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya are included.
He gazed at the confident and gentle blond boy on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.
If Naruto had really grown up under Minato's tutelage, he would probably look just like this...
……
In a dream.
Meanwhile, Sasuke's gaze remained fixed on Naruto.
As he watched Naruto calmly put away his books, a detail he had overlooked suddenly flashed through his mind.
It's said that Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy with the highest score in the entire school, even surpassing me and leaving me with only second place.
Thinking of this, Sasuke's pupils brightened slightly.
Graduation from the Ninja Academy isn't just about written exams; physical skills and ninjutsu combat also account for a significant portion of the final score.
Does this mean that Naruto is actually very strong?
No, Sasuke's mind raced, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "I almost forgot, when Naruto first entered the dream world, he defeated me in the dream."
In that dream, Sasuke even wholeheartedly admitted that Naruto was the strongest in Team 7.
That idiot Naruto actually had that kind of dream!
Although it was just a dream, Sasuke suddenly found it hard to suppress his fighting spirit after witnessing Naruto's various abnormal behaviors in the dream.
Perhaps this is a good opportunity to test the true strength of this dream version of Naruto.
Thinking of this, Sasuke unconsciously clenched his fists, his fighting spirit surging within him.
Without further hesitation, he strode toward Naruto.
As Naruto saw Sasuke approaching, he smiled and was about to speak when Sasuke suddenly crossed his arms, a confident smile playing on his lips, and said to him, "Naruto, let's have a fight!"
Sasuke's obsidian-like eyes gleamed with excitement, and his entire being was filled with fighting spirit.
"Eh?" Naruto was clearly surprised, but then he looked enlightened and nodded with a smile, "Alright, if Sasuke-kun wants to have a match, I'll gladly oblige."
Sakura blinked, seemingly unconcerned about the sudden challenge between the two; instead, her pretty face showed great interest.
"Wow, are Sasuke and Naruto going to have another match?" She excitedly stepped aside to make room.
Clearly, in this dream world, Naruto and Sasuke often sparred, and it had become a habit for them.
Naruto smiled and nodded at Sakura upon hearing this, then stood opposite Sasuke.
The two exchanged a glance, both reading a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
Sasuke's lips curled slightly as he slowly assumed a fighting stance.
Naruto, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, standing with an air of ease and relaxation, as if victory was assured.
The two men each extended their right hand, solemnly making a "confrontation seal" to announce the official start of their duel.
in the audience.
"W-what?! This guy!"
In real life, Naruto saw Sasuke suddenly challenge his dream self to a duel and jumped up, yelling, "How cunning! That bastard Sasuke is clearly plotting revenge!"
Naruto clenched his fists and shouted indignantly.
He witnessed Sasuke's crushing defeat in his dream, and Sasuke's dejected expression at that moment amused him greatly.
Unexpectedly, Sasuke deliberately challenged Naruto in his dream today, wanting to get back at him.
That's so mean!
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Sakura tilted her head, watching the two people arguing on the screen. For some reason, a strange sense of excitement welled up inside her.
She glanced furtively at Naruto beside her, only to see him staring intently at the arena, his expression a mixture of tension and excitement.
On the screen, Sasuke and Naruto stood facing each other, their eyes burning with intensity, and the air around them seemed to heat up with their fighting spirit.
Sakura's heart suddenly raced, her cheeks flushed slightly, and a strange thought flashed through her mind.
Uh, why do I suddenly feel...
She quickly shook her head to banish the absurd idea from her mind, but her expression still betrayed her anticipation.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
Kakashi rested his chin on his hand, watching the standoff on the screen with great interest, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Just how strong is Naruto in the Dream Realm?
With the guidance of Minato-sensei, he must be extraordinary.
on the screen.
In a clearing in the woods, Naruto and Sasuke stood facing each other, a tense atmosphere spreading between them.
A gentle breeze swept by, swirling a few fallen leaves between the two of them.
Sasuke struck first, leaping backward to create distance between himself and Naruto.
Seeing this, Naruto did not rush to attack, but stood calmly in place, quietly watching Sasuke's movements.
Sasuke's heart tightened when he saw that Naruto hadn't made the first move.
In the real world, Naruto was reckless and belligerent; he probably would have already yelled and charged straight at us.
But Naruto on the other side was calm and composed, looking completely at ease.
This attitude annoyed Sasuke.
Hmph, are you looking down on me?
Do you still think that by not attacking first, you can disrupt my rhythm?
Sasuke snorted and decided to test the other party's strength first.
He suddenly pulled out two shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, and with a flick of his wrist, two cold lights shot straight at Naruto's face!
Two shuriken flew in at tricky angles, but Naruto remained calm and composed.
Just as the swords were about to strike, he slightly shifted his body, narrowly dodging the two flying, sharp weapons.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
Naruto's dodge was clean and swift, and his speed was beyond expectations.
He felt a slight tremor in his heart.
So fast?
Is this still the same Naruto who was always at the bottom of his class?
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Sasuke's gaze darkened.
Two mere shuriken could not possibly do anything, but Naruto's composure made him secretly more vigilant.
What about this one?
He reached into his ninja tool pouch with both hands at the same time and instantly pulled out a large handful of shuriken.
With a low shout from Sasuke, seven or eight shuriken flew out of his hand almost simultaneously, their cold light whistling through the air!
These shuriken collided with each other at clever angles in mid-air, changing their trajectories and attacking Naruto from all directions.
This is the unique shuriken throwing technique of the Uchiha clan.
All the shuriken arrived almost simultaneously, making it impossible to defend against!
Despite Sasuke's fierce attack, Naruto remained calm and composed, clearly having encountered such a move before.
He shifted his feet, his hands swiftly forming hand seals, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Sword Shadow Clone Technique!"
At the same time, he also threw a shuriken!
In an instant, the shuriken that Naruto threw out burst into countless clones in mid-air with a "bang," and the dense shuriken instantly covered the sky.
With a few crisp clangs, all the shuriken Sasuke threw were knocked to the ground.
The remaining shuriken continued their relentless advance, hurtling straight toward Sasuke with a whooshing sound as they cut through the air!
"What?!"
Sasuke was shocked. He had not expected Naruto's counterattack at all. He had thought that Naruto would dodge in panic under his attack.
Unexpectedly, Naruto not only did not dodge, but also used ninjutsu to completely counter his attack.
In an instant, Sasuke felt a cold light strike his body.
Without a second thought, he quickly drew a kunai and began to parry, the clanging of metal creating a continuous sound and sparks flying everywhere.
Sasuke barely managed to deflect all the incoming shuriken, but he was already somewhat disheveled in the rush, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Sasuke landed and took a few steps back, staring in astonishment at Naruto opposite him, his chest heaving slightly.
He never expected that Naruto would use such a difficult technique as "Shadow Clone Technique" to counterattack him.
Even a Chunin would need a certain level of skill to master this technique; in reality, Naruto could never use such a complex ninjutsu.
But Naruto not only used it, but also timed it perfectly, easily neutralizing his attack.
Sasuke was deeply shaken.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have been riddled with bullets!
He gritted his teeth, suppressing the shock and slight embarrassment in his heart.
Damn it, I almost suffered a huge loss because I wasn't paying attention!
Sasuke was secretly annoyed, and a vein throbbed slightly on his forehead.
He stared intently at Naruto, and for the first time, the thought of taking this battle seriously welled up in his mind.
