in the audience.
"Good! Well done! Give him a good beating!" Naruto in real life was so excited to see himself so brave in his dream that he jumped up from his seat, jumping and shouting with excitement, wishing he could applaud and cheer for his dream Naruto.
Naruto's stylish counterattack in the scene was truly exhilarating, especially seeing Sasuke forced to retreat in a sorry state, which made Naruto feel even more triumphant.
"Serves you right for looking down on me! Even in my dreams, I'm not someone to be trifled with, haha!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Sakura stared at the incredibly excited Naruto, speechless, and muttered, "Hey, Naruto, do you really have to be this excited...?"
However, she had to admit that what she saw was indeed surprising.
Sasuke was actually forced into a dangerous situation by Naruto!
She looked at the screen and saw that Sasuke's hand holding the kunai was trembling slightly, clearly indicating that the forceful defense just now had consumed a lot of his strength.
Naruto stood calmly not far away, his expression even showing some remorse, as if he were afraid of hurting Sasuke.
This contrast left Sakura feeling utterly bewildered.
"Is that really Naruto?"
She muttered to herself, "When did that stupid Naruto, who was always the worst student in my memory, ever beat Sasuke so badly?"
Knew it.
Kakashi's eyes flickered as he watched the situation on the field, silently complaining to himself.
"Sword Shadow Clone Technique... It seems that Naruto, who grew up under Minato's tutelage, is not a good-for-nothing after all."
In the picture.
Sasuke calmed himself down and stared at Naruto's embarrassed look, feeling even more annoyed.
hateful!
Naruto in real life must be laughing at us right now, right?
The thought of Naruto outside gloating over his embarrassment ignited a fire of anger in Sasuke's heart.
He secretly vowed to win back the score and not to be defeated like this!
"Naruto, you've got some skills," Sasuke said in a deep voice, his fighting spirit growing even stronger. "However, I won't be careless this time!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, activated his Sharingan, and rapidly formed hand seals. He took a deep breath, and a surge of intense chakra gathered in his chest.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Sasuke finished forming the hand seals and suddenly opened his mouth, spitting out a huge fireball.
Scorching flames rolled out, instantly turning the space in front of him crimson, and the fireball, carrying a scorching heat wave, swept towards Naruto.
Naruto's expression hardened as he faced the oncoming fireball.
He did not retreat, but instead stood firmly, quickly forming hand seals, and the chakra within his body rapidly changed its attributes.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Naruto puffed out his cheeks and suddenly unleashed a powerful hurricane.
The howling wind blades met the towering flames. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire, aided by the wind, blazed even brighter in an instant!
"Oh no!" Sasuke's pupils contracted.
He thought Naruto would dodge, but he didn't expect Naruto to choose to use Wind Release to counter his Fire Release.
Normally, wind amplifies the power of flames. His move seemed unwise, but Naruto clearly had great confidence in his chakra control.
Naruto's gust of wind suddenly enveloped Sasuke's fireball, and the flames indeed intensified with the wind.
However, Naruto's Wind Release chakra seemed to be extraordinary as well. In an instant, the wind blades transformed into several vortexes, cutting and disrupting the fireball.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, flames burst forth, and amidst the rolling heat, the Great Fireball was actually shattered by Naruto's Wind Release, the raging flames turning into countless extinguished sparks that drifted in all directions.
Sasuke's expression changed as his Fire Release technique was broken. Before he could react, Naruto's figure shot out from the smoke and dust.
Sasuke quickly drew his kunai to defend himself, only to find that what was coming at him was just a shadow clone of Naruto.
"Bang!"
The kunai pierced the shadow clone, instantly shattering it into smoke.
However, before Sasuke could catch his breath, a gust of wind swept from behind.
Not good!
He turned around abruptly and saw another orange figure approaching him—it was Naruto himself.
Caught off guard, Sasuke hastily raised his arms, but Naruto kicked him hard in mid-air.
Sasuke felt a tremendous force strike him, and with a muffled groan, he was kicked several meters backward, crashing into a large tree trunk before falling heavily to the ground.
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and Sasuke lay sprawled on the ground, his arms aching and numb. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He tried to get up, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.
The close-quarters combat just now was so intense that he barely saw when Naruto created shadow clones or launched a close-range attack before he was defeated.
"I...I lost?"
Sasuke stared wide-eyed at Naruto, who was running towards him.
In just a few minutes, he not only lost, but was also completely dominated by Naruto, unable to fight back at all.
The feeling of being completely crushed left Sasuke's mind blank.
He never dreamed that he would lose to Naruto, and that he would lose so decisively.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
"Sasuke-kun, are you alright?!"
Naruto had already run to Sasuke's side.
He bent down, reaching out to help Sasuke up, his face a mixture of worry and regret. "I'm sorry, I got too caught up in the fight and didn't control myself... Are you hurt anywhere?"
Sasuke looked up at Naruto's outstretched hand, but did not take it.
He was still reeling from the shock of defeat, sitting blankly on the ground, his chest heaving violently.
"I... I can't even beat Naruto?"
He muttered to himself, utterly bewildered for a moment.
A strong sense of frustration and absurdity filled his mind, making him question the meaning of life.
This dream overturned his understanding of the difference in strength, completely reversing his belief that he was naturally stronger than Naruto.
Sasuke was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, his face turning pale and then flushed, and he didn't recover for a long time.
Seeing Sasuke lost in thought, Naruto assumed he had been kicked somewhere and grew increasingly anxious. He asked urgently, "Sasuke-kun, how are you feeling? Are you alright? It's all my fault, I accidentally kicked too hard..."
His tone was full of sincere apology, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the game and was only worried about his friend getting hurt.
It took Sasuke a long time to finally come to his senses.
He gritted his teeth, stood up unsteadily, and waved his hand, saying, "I...I'm fine."
He put on a brave front, but his complex gaze betrayed the shock he felt inside.
Not far away, Sakura had already run over and was now looking at Sasuke with concern, afraid that he had been seriously injured.
But Sasuke simply brushed away her hand that was trying to help him, stared intently at Naruto, and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Naruto tactfully withdrew his hand from Sasuke's, but still with a hint of guilt, he said softly, "That's good. By the way, Sasuke-kun..."
He hesitated, seemingly confused.
"You even used your Sharingan during the fight just now, so why didn't you use any genjutsu? I've been on guard for a long time."
"Genjutsu?" Sasuke was taken aback, his mind still a little fuzzy. "What genjutsu?"
He subconsciously asked back.
……
The audience was completely silent.
Everyone was deeply shocked by the fierce battle just now, and no one could speak for a long time.
A few seconds later, a series of exclamations erupted.
Naruto stared blankly at the now-blacked-out screen for a long time before snapping out of his daze.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he murmured softly, "Am I... really that strong?"
The power and skills he displayed in his dream had almost completely overturned Naruto's self-perception.
Various applications of Wind Release, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and taijutsu...
In my dream, he seemed to be proficient in everything.
Sasuke was beaten like a loser by his dream self.
This unexpected turn of events left Naruto feeling both shocked and conflicted, and he struggled to calm down for a long time.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
"This is incredible..." Sakura had recovered by now.
She recalled the scenes of Naruto fighting Sasuke in her dream, and it still felt like a dream.
"Is that really Naruto? He was completely dominating Sasuke the whole time..."
Kakashi slowly exhaled, looking at Naruto sitting absentmindedly on the seat, his eyes filled with both admiration and sighs.
I never expected this...
In the dream, Naruto not only knows Minato's techniques, but his fighting style also bears some resemblance to Jiraiya.
With a character like him, it's no wonder Sasuke lost.
