Naruto the Genius

Chapter 182 Wind and Thunder

Sai said: "Exposed? But I already have the upper hand." Sasuke still lay there motionless and said: "What is your purpose?" Sai said: "Danzo's purpose is to destroy you, and I want to take you back to Konoha. I originally came here to kill you, but now I plan to help Naruto and Sakura protect the bond between you two."

Sasuke said coldly: "Bonds? Are you disturbing my sleep just for that kind of thing?" With a huge explosion, Sasuke broke free from Sai's restraints and blew a big hole in the base. The base that was originally hidden underground has now become an open-air deep pit. Sensing such movement, Naruto and others quickly approached that side, and soon saw the sun's rays coming from the front.

Several people rushed over quickly. Sasuke was standing on the top of the pit, looking at Sai below. Before Sakura could look up, she heard Sasuke say, "It's Sakura, and Naruto, you're here too. So, Kakashi is here too." Yamato said, "It's a pity that Kakashi didn't come, but I'm the acting leader of this class for now. Next, Kakashi's class will take you back to Konoha."

Sasuke completely ignored Yamato's words, his eyes lingered on Sakura for a moment, then he looked at Naruto and said, "In Kakashi's class, the only one who deserves my serious attention is you, Naruto!" Sakura also looked at Sasuke standing high up, because standing in a place with strong light, there is a feeling of looking up. In addition, Sasuke's dress and temperament have changed a lot. His clothes have become more mature, and his Sharingan is more energetic. The only thing that seems to remain unchanged is the curse seal on his neck. After such a long time, Sakura saw Sasuke again and felt that the person in front of her was both strange and familiar. And Naruto also had this feeling. Maybe, as Kabuto Yakushi said, people will change, and the Sasuke in front of him has really changed.

Naruto took two steps forward and said, "Sasuke, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. Are you in such a hurry to start a fight instead of just catching up? Sakura is also here, we should at least give these old friends some face." Sakura also said, "Sasuke, come back with us, back to Konoha Village, we can still be the same as before..."

Without waiting for Sakura to finish, Sasuke said calmly: "Sakura, it's been so long, and you are still so naive. If you have time to do those meaningless things, you might as well spend more time practicing." Sakura was temporarily blocked by Sasuke's words. It seemed that Kakashi's class had always been the weakest in her strength. Now, judging from the aura emanating from Sasuke, it seemed that he was much stronger than Sakura, which made Sakura feel somewhat inferior in her heart.

Unlike Sasuke, who can say whatever he wants without caring about Sakura's feelings, Naruto couldn't bear this. Seeing Sakura being irritated, Naruto immediately changed the subject and said, "Sasuke, although you have changed in many ways, your personality remains the same. It seems that the only thing you are interested in is strength."

Sai looked aside and said: "Sasuke, although I didn't know you before, Naruto and the others care about you very much, and they have a deep bond with you. But why do you want to leave Konoha?" Sasuke said: "Indeed, I understand the bond between us. But, for me, there is a deeper bond called hatred between me and my brother. For me, this bond is more important, so I can't distract my attention."

Naruto said: "There is one thing I must tell you. Orochimaru will take your body sooner or later. By that time, you will not even have your own life. What is the point of hatred?"

Sasuke closed his eyes and said, "To be honest, neither I nor Orochimaru can defeat Itachi. As long as I can get revenge, I will give you my life as much as you want." Naruto said, "Then, what about me? Do you think I can defeat Itachi with my strength?" As he said that, Naruto drew out the big sword behind him, Samehada.

Seeing the sword, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a very serious look, and said in disbelief: "This is Samehada! If I remember correctly, this sword is the sword used by Kisame who is Itachi's partner. I didn't expect that you could get it into your hands. It seems that even if your strength is not as good as Itachi's, it is probably not far behind. Naruto, how did you get such a powerful strength?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke with the eyes unique to Sage Mode and said, "Sasuke, I've told you a long time ago that your real strength is not the so-called curse seal. Objectively speaking, you have the potential to be as good as me, but you haven't discovered it yet." Sasuke said, "Naruto, I have thought seriously about what you said, and now I want to let you see my strength!" As he said that, regardless of whether Naruto agreed or not, Sasuke pulled out the grass cone sword behind him and stabbed Naruto.

Because of his Sharingan and Sasuke's current strength, his speed has reached the extreme. Sakura felt that in just a blink of an eye, Sasuke's grass cone sword had already collided with Naruto's sword. Captain Yamato, as a jonin, did not even see clearly how Sasuke got here. The grass cone sword flashed with lightning and pierced Samehada, but the next moment, the lightning on the grass cone sword disappeared.

Sasuke looked at the Grass Cone Sword in his hand with some disbelief, thinking to himself: "Not only did it not get pierced by the Grass Cone Sword with the lightning attribute, but it also eliminated the chakra on the Grass Cone Sword. What's the reason?" Sasuke quickly stepped back and looked at Naruto in confusion. Seeing Sasuke's confusion, Naruto said: "Sasuke, this big sword Samehada can absorb the opponent's chakra, which is very difficult for you to deal with."

Pinning Samehada behind his back, Naruto said to Sasuke: "I took out Samehada just now, but just to show you. If we fight, we still have to be fair. Ninja swords like Samehada are not suitable." As if he didn't want to take advantage of Naruto, Sasuke slowly put away the Kusanagi. Captain Yamato and Sakura came forward, wanting to take down Sasuke as soon as possible. Naruto nodded and said: "No, you don't want to participate yet. Besides, even if you participate, it is very likely to increase my burden."

Captain Yamato had known Naruto's strength for a long time, but he didn't expect that Sasuke in front of him was so strong in Naruto's eyes. At this time, a stream of lightning chakra appeared on Sasuke's body, and he rushed towards Naruto again. Naruto also made two seals, and a stream of wind chakra surrounded him.

"Chidori Style" Sasuke's entire body is releasing Chidori. "Fierce Wind Wave" Naruto's entire body is also surrounded by a strong wind. The two chakras collided with each other in an instant.
