Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Even Kakashi Uchiha has a Mangekyou Sharingan!

Although Sasuke's thirst for power isn't as strong now, that doesn't mean he's given up on striving for improvement.

He reached out to stop Yamato, and said with a serious expression,

"Fight me! I want to see just how strong the disciple recognized by Lord Chiga is!"

The words "approved by Chiga" struck a chord with Yamato, making her overjoyed.

Black Zetsu had initially intended to stop her, but seeing Yamato's expression, she gave up. She rubbed her forehead with one hand and muttered to herself,

"Yamato, you idiot! Why are you arguing with the Uchiha for no reason!"

What troubled her even more was that the Uchiha opposite her was Sasuke. She knew a little about Yamato's strength, and she was really afraid that Yamato might accidentally be sent away by Sasuke.

Yamato miraculously pulled out a spiked club again, slung it over his shoulder, and said with a smile,

"Alright! I accept your challenge! I also want to see how strong Master's clansmen are."

Sasuke nodded, looked around, and said,

"This place isn't suitable for fighting. Come with me somewhere else!"

"Yes, that's what I think too!"

Sasuke said no more and turned to leave, with Yamato following immediately.

The remaining Black Zetsu and Naruto exchanged glances. Naruto swallowed hard and asked,

"Black Zetsu, should we follow them and see what happens?"

"Of course we should, what if something goes wrong?"

"Yeah, it looks like Sasuke is going to get serious. I'm afraid he'll go too far!"

"Idiot! You should be worried about Sasuke getting killed by Yamato!"

"That older sister's name is Yamato? That's the same name as Captain Yamato... Wait! What did you just say? Is Yamato-neechan strong?"

"Nonsense, have you forgotten she's my father's disciple!"

"Uh, actually I was just about to ask, who is the father you're talking about? It's not Senpai Chiga, is it?"

"Or else?"

Naruto stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He stared at Black Zetsu in disbelief. Black Zetsu cursed him again as an idiot, then turned into a pool of black water and merged into the ground, fleeing in the direction Sasuke and Yamato had left.

Naruto snapped out of his daze and hurriedly shouted,

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Chapter 408 Gap

Uchiha clan training ground.

Yamato, carrying a spiked club, stood casually opposite Sasuke.

Sasuke, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Yamato and spoke.

"I'm going to fuck!"

Yamato then lowered his spiked club and said with a smile,

"bring it on!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke had already appeared in front of Yamato using the Body Flicker Technique, but the speed of the Body Flicker Technique was simply not enough against a monster like Yamato.

Yamato didn't even use his spiked club; he simply slapped Sasuke across the face.

Despite Sasuke's Sharingan spinning wildly, he still couldn't dodge the simple, unadorned slap.

Snapped!

From a distance, Sasuke was swatted away by Yamato like a fly, crashing heavily into the wall of the training ground.

Actually, Yamato was holding back. If she had used her full strength, it wouldn't have been impossible for Sasuke to be turned into a bloody mist on the spot.

Even so, it took Sasuke quite a while to climb out of the wall. He looked unsteady and was clearly badly injured.

Naruto and Black Zetsu arrived just then. Seeing Sasuke's miserable state, Naruto immediately cried out in concern for Sasuke.

Sasuke, however, had no intention of following Naruto's lead; he was still in a daze.

Yamato's reaction speed and strength were simply too exaggerated. He even suspected that Yamato had learned Tsunade's superhuman strength.

Of course, even if Tsunade herself came, she would be slapped away by Yamato.

Sasuke realized from what he had just witnessed that his taijutsu was completely outmatched by Yamato's, so he temporarily abandoned his taijutsu attacks and began forming hand seals instead.

Yamato watched Sasuke's frantic gestures with a curious expression until a huge fireball shot out of Sasuke's mouth.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Huh? You can use the power of fire? But isn't this fireball a bit too small?"

Yamato stood still, took a deep breath and exhaled, extinguishing the fireball in mid-air.

This scene almost made Sasuke's jaw drop.

A few wisps of embers still flickered at the corners of his mouth as he stared blankly at Yamato, muttering to himself.

"Are you... a monster?"

These words displeased Yamato, and she shouted,

"Hey! How can you be so rude! How can you talk like that?"

"Gudu."

Sasuke swallowed hard, and Naruto, who was watching from the sidelines, did the same.

Both of them were deeply shocked by the strength Yamato displayed. Naruto muttered to himself,

"She's incredibly strong. To be able to beat Sasuke like this with just taijutsu, I wonder how far her ninjutsu can go!"

Seeing Yamato displaying such power on the field, Black Zetsu was filled with pride. She raised her black face and said smugly,

"That's right. Don't you know whose disciple she is? I told you before, if you hadn't kept an eye on things, Sasuke could have been accidentally killed by Yamato!"

Naruto nodded stiffly. With Yamato's physical strength, even if he were in his tailed beast form, taking that hit would be enough to give him a hard time.

On the field, Sasuke stared intently at Yamato; he had already activated his genjutsu.

However, Yamato was only slightly dazed, and Sasuke's genjutsu had virtually no effect.

Sasuke was completely dumbfounded; he couldn't understand why his genjutsu was so ineffective on Yamato.

The reason is actually quite simple: Yamato has absolutely no chakra. So even if it were the genjutsu master Itachi, it would be useless against him.

Seeing that the genjutsu was not working, Sasuke suddenly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his fair chest underneath.

Yamato secretly pursed her lips. In her eyes, Sasuke was a true "dog," and she naturally wouldn't swoon over this scene like many girls in Konoha.

She suddenly wondered what it would be like if Chiga did that, and as she thought about it, a few drops of saliva actually dripped from the corner of Yamato's mouth.

Sasuke, of course, had no idea that Yamato's thoughts had wandered off to who-knows-where; he simply took off his clothes to activate the cursed seal.

Orochimaru has already "reformed," so the cursed seal is a very useful ability for Sasuke. There's no need for Itachi to stab him with the Totsuka Blade.

puff!

Two enormous, palm-sized wings emerged from Sasuke's back, and his skin quickly darkened to a grayish hue.

Yamato paused for a moment, thinking to himself,

"Huh? Could he be a Devil Fruit user? Judging by his appearance, he might be some kind of unknown Mythical Zoan?"

After activating the cursed seal, Sasuke's strength improved in every aspect, and the surge in power gave him confidence.

With a sudden flap of his wings, Sasuke charged at Yamato once more, his hands crackling with blinding gray lightning—his signature Chidori.

Yamato frowned; she found Chidori's voice really noisy.

"Chidori!"

Sasuke shouted and reached out to stab Yamato in the abdomen. Yamato snorted and raised his hand to clench it.

Snapped!

Zizizi!

The sound of Chidori still echoed in the training ground, along with Sasuke's shout.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

Yamato simply grabbed Sasuke's wrist, which was holding Chidori, and then with a gentle flick, sent Sasuke flying towards Naruto.

Naruto quickly reached out to catch it, but Yamato's strength was too great. He managed to catch it, but Sasuke still knocked him away.

However, thanks to Naruto's buffer, Sasuke felt much better this time.

He propped himself up from Naruto's arms, exchanged a brief glance with Naruto for a few seconds, and then quickly flew back to Yamato.

Naruto got up, patted his butt, and muttered,

"What kind of look is that? Shouldn't I have accepted it?"

Yamato chuckled, bored, and casually remarked,

"Let's end this battle here. I'm a little sleepy. Juejue, let's go!"

Yamato's performance was like a knife to Sasuke's heart; it was incredibly shameful. He was the one who initiated the challenge, but after fighting for so long, he hadn't even managed to scratch Yamato's clothes.

Just as Yamato was about to leave with Black Zetsu, Sasuke roared.

"Don't go! The battle isn't over yet!"

Yamato turned to look at Sasuke with a puzzled expression and asked,

"Huh? You think there's any point in continuing the fight?"

It wasn't that Yamato was deliberately mocking Sasuke. She was just naturally outspoken and straightforward. Except when she was dealing with Chiga, she would say whatever came to mind with everyone else.

In her opinion, Sasuke's strength was not on the same level as hers at all, and there was no point in fighting him. She had to be careful not to hold back, otherwise, with Sasuke's small body, he could easily be broken apart by her punch.
