I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

This was truly a decisive blow, completely shattering Jiraiya's original plan.

Seeing that Tsunade remained silent, Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine. He could only manage a forced smile. "Alright, let's not talk about this today. It's been so long since we last met, old friends reunited. Shall we find a place to have a drink later? I'm really curious about how you ended up with Shinji Akagi and his ilk, and... how you even joined an organization like the Jashin Cult."

"Okay, there's nothing I can't tell you anyway. I'll tell you whatever you want to know later. But there's one condition... there has to be plenty of alcohol."

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, both amused and exasperated. It seemed things weren't as he'd imagined; there was probably some misunderstanding.

[Chapter 370. A Decisive Battle]

After Tsunade and Jiraiya finished their brief conversation, they discovered that Naruto had already been pinned to the ground by Sasuke.

Naruto was still shouting and arguing, his face flushed red, but he looked more like he was in a state of impotent rage.

It turns out that during the period when Tsunade and Jiraiya were away, Naruto couldn't resist provoking Sasuke again.

Because in Naruto's eyes, his current strength is far beyond what he used to be.

If we can defeat Sasuke, maybe we can make Sasuke realize his 'mistake' and then return to Konoha with him.

Maybe I can even win Sakura's favor because of this!

Naruto's plan was good, but reality was far from ideal.

During the past few months of training, his strength has been improving. Is Sasuke just standing still?

So when Naruto, enraged by his failed attempt to talk Naruto away, threw a punch at Sasuke, Sasuke simply dodged slightly, tripped, and then pinned Naruto to the ground.

At this moment, their physical skills are not even in the same league!

Don't be fooled by how badly Sasuke gets beaten during taijutsu training sessions, or how his pride is on the verge of exploding.

But the results were very significant!

Every day, Shinji and Hidan would give Sasuke practice moves (his hands were itching to try them out), and occasionally Tobi would join in. This kind of training was something Naruto, who was always traveling around with Jiraiya, could never match.

This is not to say that Jiraiya was incapable of teaching disciples.

On the contrary, the one who truly doesn't know how to teach disciples is Shinji himself.

One approach aims to improve strength and combat ability as quickly as possible, while the other focuses more on the future, occasionally teaching life philosophies and the way of the ninja.

This is the biggest reason for the differences.

Clearly, Naruto is the type who accumulates strength and then unleashes it, but that time hasn't come yet.

"Alright, Sasuke, that's enough of a lesson."

Seeing that Jiraiya and Tsunade had returned and that someone could keep an eye on Naruto, Shinji asked Sasuke to release Naruto.

Sasuke no longer considered Naruto a rival; if Naruto hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have even bothered with him.

He doesn't even consider the level of enemies who have died at his hands over the past few months.

He's even killed Jonin!

As soon as Naruto stood up, he wanted to get his revenge. He was not convinced, not at all!

He only thought that he had been careless and had failed to demonstrate the results of his cultivation over this period of time.

In particular, his pride wouldn't allow him to lose to Sasuke like that.

"That's enough, Naruto. What are you doing?"

Jiraiya quickly pressed Naruto's head down, preventing him from causing any more trouble for Sasuke.

The other party's words just now were actually a way of giving him face, but on another level, they were also a way of asking him to keep an eye on Naruto.

"Perverted Sage, let me go! Today I will definitely have a showdown with Sasuke!"

Naruto was like an angry little bull, struggling incessantly.

Sasuke gave a disdainful snort and completely ignored him.

Upon seeing this, Naruto's eyes turned red, and he even faintly emitted another scent of chakra...

"I must defeat him today! Otherwise, what's the point of all my hard training these past few days!"

Seeing Naruto starting to lose control, Jiraiya frowned.

He didn't actually want Naruto to fight Sasuke so soon, but if he stopped Naruto today, it might be a huge blow and bring their relationship to a freezing point.

"Alright, Naruto, I can allow you to have a spar with Sasuke. But only if he agrees to your request. If Sasuke refuses, you can't keep pestering him."

Upon hearing this, Naruto's barely controlled state vanished instantly, and he started yelling at Sasuke.

"Did you hear that, Sasuke! If you're not a coward, then fight me!"

"Ha, boring."

Sasuke didn't think Naruto posed a threat to him, so he decided to ignore the other's nagging.

Naruto got impatient and started provoking Sasuke again, saying things like "coward" and "scared" repeatedly in an attempt to anger Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes turned cold, and anger began to show on his face.

He's still just a child; how could he not react at all to being provoked like that?

At this moment, Shinji also spoke up: "Go, show all the results of your training over this period of time. The test is to defeat your opponent. If you lose, you can leave. I will not teach you anything more."

Sasuke nodded expressionlessly. "If I lose to this guy, I won't have the face to stay any longer."

This means that Shinji and Sasuke didn't really take Naruto seriously at this stage.

At this point, Naruto had only learned the Rasengan, the Summoning Jutsu, and the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Jiraiya couldn't have taught Naruto Sage Mode so early, nor could he have helped Naruto adapt to the Nine-Tails' chakra so quickly.

And what about Sasuke?

Mangekyou Sharingan + Chidori Stream + Cursed Mutation Kusanagi Sword!

How do I lose?

To put it bluntly, one Amaterasu and it's over.

Jiraiya said helplessly, "Since you two have agreed, let's find a secluded place where no one is around to hold our duel."

Tsunade hiccuped. "Come with me. I know a spacious place where no one will be around at this hour."

No one objected, so they followed Tsunade to a lakeside.

The environment was indeed as she described: quiet and peaceful, with plenty of open space by the lake, so there was no need to worry about not having enough room to maneuver.

Before the duel began, Shinji reminded Sasuke, "Don't use Amaterasu unless absolutely necessary."

“We don’t even need Amaterasu to deal with him,” Sasuke said proudly as he walked out.

Good lad, you're pretty arrogant!

I like it!

At the same time, Jiraiya gave Naruto some instructions and was prepared to intervene at any time.

In his view, winning or losing is less important than avoiding any unexpected events.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself at all.

The two walked towards each other and stopped face to face when they were five meters apart.

"Just wait and you'll see I'm not the same person I used to be!"

Naruto was the first to make a harsh statement.

Sasuke's reply was: "You in the past and you now are no different to me. I'll finish you off in 3 minutes."

When it comes to showing off, Sasuke is the only one who can match him; Naruto is no match for him at all.

"I've had enough of your arrogant attitude. Today I'm going to defeat you!"

Naruto was angry, but this time he didn't foolishly rush over. Instead, he used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Let's start by creating a few dozen clones as a token gesture, a test.

Faced with the numerous clones rushing towards him, Sasuke didn't even bother to draw his Kusanagi sword, easily destroying all of them with his taijutsu alone!

After all, no matter how many clones there are, the combat power of each clone is still closely related to the main body.

If he can smash Naruto once, he can smash him a hundred times!

"A meaningless battle."

Sasuke was already disappointed before it even started.

[Chapter 371. Are you pretending I don't exist?]

"The battle has only just begun. Now I'll show you the results of my training over this period of time."

Naruto shouted, and then, with the help of his shadow clones, began to form a Rasengan.

Sasuke glanced at it with slight surprise, then tossed several shuriken over.

But even fools have their foolish ways.

Naruto knew he was a sitting duck when he was making the Rasengan, but he had Shadow Clones!

If one doesn't work, try two; if two don't work, try ten; if that still doesn't work, try a hundred, or a thousand!

Anyway, he has a lot of chakra, so he can squander it as he pleases.

Thump thump thump...

Naruto decisively used all the remaining shadow clones to block Sasuke's attack.

Sometimes I really don't understand. Isn't it said that all the memories of a shadow clone are transmitted to the original body? So, like Naruto, whose shadow clones have been 'killed' so many times, wouldn't he suffer serious psychological trauma?

Even if you don't know how, you shouldn't act like nothing's wrong.

All I can say is that the Chosen One is simply outrageous!

"Behold my Rasengan!"

Naruto finally finished making his Rasengan and charged over with a roar.

At that moment, dazzling lightning also condensed on Sasuke's right hand.
