Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

"Naruto, how about a fight!"

Sasuke stopped training and shouted at Naruto.

"Huh?! Sasuke versus Naruto, that's interesting!"

"!" Rock Lee stood excitedly to one side.

Sasuke excitedly wiped his nose and said proudly, "I'm really strong now. If you're not serious, you might die."

“Interesting. I accept your challenge.” Naruto smiled as he sheathed his Zanpakuto.

"Sasuke versus Naruto, not bad. One is a genius of the Uchiha clan, and the other is the most talented Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in history. This battle is going to be interesting."

Inside the Hokage's office.

Tsunade and Jiraiya watched the start of the battle through a crystal ball.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also in the office, holding a pipe with his only remaining arm and a beaming smile.

But when he caught a glimpse of his severed arm out of the corner of his eye, his gaze remained somewhat vacant.

"Uchiha Sasuke has good talent. He has developed his Sharingan to the three-tomoe stage and has also learned this sage's ninjutsu, but he is still a bit short of defeating Naruto," Jiraiya said, smacking his lips.

"That's not enough." Tsunade said, quite surprised.

By chance, Tsunade learned about Sasuke's strength.

And they were shocked by it.

"Then I'll have to see what Naruto Uzumaki is capable of," she said, staring at the crystal ball with great interest.

At this moment, the battle has begun.

Sasuke approached Naruto first, and Naruto met him. The two exchanged blows using taijutsu.

"Bang bang bang." The entire open space was filled with the sounds of physical combat, and the figures of the two men kept flashing.

After a dozen or so brief probing exchanges, Sasuke delivered a side kick to Naruto's blocking right hand.

Taking advantage of the opponent's retreat, he closed in again and sent Naruto flying into the sky with a rising dragon punch.

Lightning crackled from his feet, propelling him even faster as he appeared above the flying Naruto. He stretched out his right leg and slammed it down hard.

"Lion's Barrage".

Naruto was knocked down by a tremendous force, crashing into the mud and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Naruto!

"!" Sakura looked distressed and glared fiercely at Sasuke: "You damn Sasuke, go easy on me!"

"Don't worry, this attack won't hurt Naruto."

Lee Rock, who was watching, leisurely munched on an apple and said.

"Bang." Sure enough, Naruto in the pit turned into a piece of wood.

At the same time, Naruto's voice rang out.

"Hado No. 31: Red Fire Cannon".

Chapter 166 Sasuke's Ultimate Technique: I Can't Lose

Zuo Zhu felt his hair stand on end and alarm bells ring in his mind. He quickly turned his head and saw flames raging on his right.

A blazing fireball shot out from Naruto's palm toward him.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball!" Sasuke also spat out a fireball that collided with the Red Fire Cannon.

"Bang!" A violent explosion rang out, and the flames from the Crimson Fire Cannon engulfed the Fireball, leaving the ground below scorched black.

Zuo Zhu pushed off with both legs and jumped into the air to avoid the incoming Crimson Fire Cannon, calmly continuing to form hand seals.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower." Flames shaped like phoenix flowers fell from the sky like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, blocking Naruto's escape route.

The scorching flames burned the air with immense power.

"Sasuke, your Uchiha's Fire Release can't kill people." Naruto's mocking voice rang out in the air. Then, his figure turned into a blur, nimbly dodging all the flames, and punched Sasuke in the face.

"Bang!" The immense force sent Zuo Zhu flying uncontrollably backward, smashing through several trees before finally stopping.

"Hiss, isn't Naruto Uzumaki a bloodstained ninja? How come his taijutsu is so strong? What is that unique movement technique?" Tsunade gasped.

"That's a movement technique he developed using his bloodline limit, Shunpo," Jiraiya explained.

"Instant Step is similar to Body Flicker Technique, but it consumes less energy. Moreover, in actual combat, Instant Step is more convenient to use and can easily confuse the opponent."

"But Sasuke is no pushover either; this is just their warm-up," Jiraiya said proudly.

..........

"Not bad strength and speed." Suddenly, Sasuke, who had fallen into the forest, burst into lightning and closed in on Naruto at an even faster speed.

"Warm-up complete, now I'm getting serious." As soon as he finished speaking, the lightning surrounding Zuo Zhu crackled and exploded, scorching the grass beneath his feet into a charred, foul odor.

This is enough to show how high the temperature of lightning is.

"Serious? So this is what you call serious? How disappointing." Naruto chuckled, a layer of white spiritual pressure enveloping his figure, leaving trails of white afterimages in the open space.

"Bang bang bang." Fists and feet collided everywhere. After dozens of collisions, Zuo Zhu stopped not far away, casually flicked his hand, and the lightning on his body surged again.

Accompanied by arrogant laughter: "Is that all? Is this all the progress you've made since joining Root?"

A violent sonic boom was generated by Zuo Zhu's rapid movement. His figure appeared on one side of the open space and then disappeared, reappearing on the other side.

His speed was so fast that it gave the impression that he could use the Body Flicker Technique indefinitely.

Upon closer inspection, one can see the lightning crackling around his figure.

The lightning roared and violently destroyed the surrounding land.

"Such speed! Zuo Zhu's progress is so great!" Rock Lee looked at this scene in shock, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

I am very proud of my physical condition.

If I don't work harder, I might be overtaken!

But what shocked everyone even more was that Naruto's response to Sasuke's incredible speed was far too effortless.

Naruto, still wearing a gentle smile, moved with effortless grace, perfectly countering one of Sasuke's attacks.

They even had time to enjoy the weather.

"The weather is a bit chilly today, but your lightning brought me some warmth, thank you."

When it comes to sarcasm, Naruto is absolutely top-notch.

Zuo Zhu's face turned bright red with anger.

He roared in grief and anger, "Don't underestimate me, Naruto!"

He stopped attacking, retreated sharply, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Be careful, you might really die next."

He took a deep breath, assumed a horse stance, clenched his fists, and roared with all his might.

The chakra within his body instantly boiled and burned, his black hair stood on end, and the lightning around his body surged violently.

The once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Zuo Zhu's small face was contorted in pain, as if he were enduring immense suffering.

"Is he crazy? Using lightning chakra to stimulate his body like that, isn't he afraid of his body collapsing?" Tsunade blurted out, her eyes fixed on the crystal ball.

Judging from her professional competence, this ninjutsu was extremely risky; one wrong move and she could become a cripple.

The Uchiha clan are all lunatics; they dare to train such terrifying ninjutsu!

"I didn't expect Sasuke to have this backup plan. It seems the battle is almost over." Tsunade shook her head and sighed, "It's just that this ninjutsu is too easy to leave hidden injuries. I'll have Sasuke come to see me later."

"The battle is indeed coming to an end, but I don't think Sasuke can win." Jiraiya's words left Tsunade somewhat puzzled.

Ultimately, I suppressed my doubts and looked at it carefully.

Naruto!

"!" Zuo Zhu roared in uncontrollable rage.

His skin shimmered with an eerie golden light.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be crying, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.

"Splash." A few drops of rain fell, hitting Zuo Zhu's exposed skin, but were instantly swallowed by the golden light and evaporated into water vapor.

With a "whoosh," Sasuke's figure vanished from his spot once again, and the next moment he was already in front of Naruto.

Their eyes met.

Sasuke could see the mockery in Naruto's eyes.

His anger was instantly ignited.

asshole!

!

How dare you look down on me at a time like this!

This is my Super Electro form!

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm, used his waist and abdomen to throw him away at high speed.

Despite experiencing weightlessness, Naruto remained calm and composed.

"Take this!"

"Sasuke came in front of Naruto again, used his waist and abdomen to throw a punch."

"Bang." Smoke and dust rose, but the intended touch did not arrive. Zuo Zhu looked stunned, and the two remained in mid-air, their eyes meeting.

Naruto's right hand actually caught Sasuke's full-force punch firmly.

The shock lasted for half a second, after which Zuo Zhu realized that his body was falling.

"Not bad speed, very interesting." Naruto chuckled, punching Sasuke in the face.
