Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

The Uchiha clan has a tradition of swordsmanship training, but the Uchiha, who rely too much on their eyes, are not interested in this type of training.

Furthermore, ninjas already possess weapons such as kunai and explosive tags, so they have no need for long swords.

But as the saying goes, there are no bad weapons, only bad ninjas. In Naruto, Sasuke sensed a sharp, piercing sword intent.

His little mind didn't know how to describe that kind of imposing aura; he only knew that he definitely couldn't stop that knife.

"Sasuke, you've come." At this moment, Naruto put down his sword, looked in Sasuke's direction, and said with a smile.

"Good morning, Naruto." Sasuke greeted Naruto politely.

At this time, Sasuke was still living a carefree life, the same Sasuke Uchiha.

“Naruto…” Sasuke took a deep breath, as if he had something to say.

In the past, he always thought he was the second genius of the Uchiha clan, and that there was absolutely no one stronger than him among his peers.

He firmly believed that he, who inherited the Uchiha bloodline, would one day awaken his Sharingan and live up to the expectations of his brother and parents.

Until he met Naruto, a refined and gentle man who was terrifyingly strong.

Faced with his intimidating presence, he didn't even have the courage to fight.

but.

I am... a proud Uchiha.

I can't tarnish the name of the Uchiha clan!!

A flicker of struggle crossed Sasuke's eyes.

"Naruto...please come with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a blade of energy swept across, leaving a deep, unfathomable mark on the boulder in front of Naruto.

Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately felt a dry mouth.

Although it's not the first time I've seen it, I'm still shocked every time I see it.

He took another deep breath, mustered his courage, and shouted to Naruto, "Naruto, please fight me! I want to know how big the gap is between us!"

Chapter Twenty: Dejected Little Li

“Perfect timing, I also want to know the strength of the Uchiha clan’s geniuses.” Naruto smiled gently.

He did not refuse Sasuke's challenge.

Logically speaking, Sasuke had the resources of the Uchiha clan, started training in chakra at a very young age, and even received instruction from ninjas. His starting point should not be lower than mine, and may even be higher.

Such an opponent allows Naruto to make a relatively accurate assessment of his talent and strength.

This was Naruto's first time fighting against someone from a large clan, so he was extremely cautious.

"Let's go!" Sasuke said, closing in on Naruto at lightning speed the instant he finished speaking.

A punch was thrown!

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, such speed at such a young age." Naruto's calm eyes flickered slightly. He opened his right hand and easily caught the fist that was attacking him, much to Sasuke's astonishment. "Unfortunately, it's still a little bit lacking in front of my eyes."

"It's my turn to attack now." Naruto gave a powerful flick, and Sasuke's body flew backward uncontrollably. The next moment, Sasuke only felt a blur before his eyes, and Naruto was already in front of him.

It was the same punch that was thrown.

Compared to Sasuke, Naruto's punch looked rather weak.

Sasuke instinctively raised his arms to try and block the punch.

However, Sasuke's expression turned horrified when the punch landed on his arms.

"Bang." Sasuke's body flew backward at an even faster speed, as if he had been hit by a train traveling at full speed.

Sasuke, flying backwards, looked utterly incredulous.

How can it be?

How could Naruto, who is the same age as him, have such terrifying power?

How did he cultivate himself?

Sasuke's body flew backward a distance until it crashed into a large tree and came to a stop.

Amidst the billowing dust, Sasuke stood up in pain, his legs trembling.

Although he had fought with his older brother Itachi, Itachi held back because of his doting nature towards his younger brother, and his attacks were more of a pampering blow.

Unlike Naruto, who can send people flying with a single punch.

The contrast was so great that he was somewhat bewildered.

"Sasuke, are you alright?" Naruto withdrew his fist, realizing he had used too much force, and shouted at Sasuke.

"I can still fight." Sasuke dusted himself off, feeling much less pain, and launched another attack on Naruto.

This time, Naruto suppressed most of his power and fought Sasuke to a standstill.

Sasuke felt no joy, but rather a deep sense of defeat.

Faced with what appeared to be a fierce attack, Naruto was able to dodge it all by simply turning his body slightly to the side.

However, my physical strength is being rapidly depleted.

After a few minutes, Sasuke was panting heavily, while Naruto remained calm and composed.

This clearly demonstrates the gap between the two sides.

"The difference in taijutsu alone is already enormous," Sasuke thought bitterly.

He reluctantly took a step back, his face solemn: "Naruto, please use your full strength next time. I'm going to use ninjutsu. I can't control it perfectly yet, so be careful, you might get hurt."

Besides the Sharingan, the most famous thing about the Uchiha clan is their Fire Release techniques.

Sasuke had naturally mastered the basics of Fire Release, but he wasn't proficient enough.

"Ninjutsu?" Both Naruto and Aizen inside him became interested.

Aside from the Three Bodies Technique, they had not seen any other ninjutsu.

"Good, be careful." Sasuke's face was solemn as he quickly formed hand seals.

His hand seal speed is much faster than Naruto's.

He truly deserves to be called a genius from a prominent family.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" The next moment, a scorching fireball shot out from his mouth, arcing towards Naruto.

"The power is too weak; it's not of any reference value." Aizen looked disappointed and fell silent.

"Looks pretty impressive, so I'll show you a little bit of my strength too." Naruto raised Mirror Flower Water Moon and slashed it.

To Sasuke's astonishment, the fireball was shattered, and scattered sparks littered the ground.

"You're really strong, Sasuke. This is the most powerful ninjutsu I've ever seen," Naruto said with a look of admiration.

Sasuke stared at the scattered sparks, his lips twitching slightly.

I always felt that Naruto's praise was just a polite remark.

Sasuke was still somewhat unwilling to accept it. He was a genius from the Uchiha clan, yet he was defeated by a commoner, Naruto Uzumaki.

The proud Uchiha clan could not allow themselves to suffer such a miserable defeat.

After resting for a while, Sasuke challenged Naruto again.

Due to a lack of chakra, he could only rely on taijutsu.

Sasuke's taijutsu is even worse than Rock Lee's, let alone his ability to fight Naruto.

He was knocked away time and time again, but he fought back again and again.

As he was being beaten up, his physical skills continued to improve, and he even began to imitate Naruto's attack methods.

All of this made Naruto very happy.

This at least proves that Sasuke is fighting with his brain.

Finally, Sasuke collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. He was panting heavily, but his eyes were filled with joy. He could feel that his taijutsu had improved by leaps and bounds.

He looked at Naruto and was surprised to find that the latter was only slightly out of breath and had not even broken a sweat.

"The gap is just too big." Sasuke smiled helplessly.

He knew perfectly well that Naruto was suppressing his own strength, putting pressure on himself to improve.

Sasuke didn't say it, but he remembered it in his heart.

.....

To be able to use such ninjutsu at this age, Uchiha Sasuke has a very high level of talent.

Naruto's eyes were deep.

After the battle, the two seemed to have grown closer, and they sat under a tree chatting.

As expected, just as Naruto predicted, Sasuke is the second son of the Uchiha clan leader, and his older brother is hailed as the Uchiha clan's greatest genius in recent years. He joined the Anbu at a young age and possesses unimaginable power.

Although Sasuke is also a genius, he is still inferior to Itachi.

"Naruto." Just then, Rock Lee, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, walked into the forest looking dejected.

If Rock Lee was once a passionate young man, he is now undoubtedly like a walking corpse, having lost all fighting spirit.

This was the first time Naruto had seen Rock Lee like this, and he immediately frowned.

He didn't want the person he liked to look so dejected.

"Long time no see, Rock Lee." Naruto smiled warmly and introduced Lee to Sasuke: "Sasuke, this is my good friend, Rock Lee."

"Little Lee, this is Uchiha Sasuke, a friend I met yesterday."

“Uchiha…” Rock Lee forced a smile and greeted Sasuke: “Hello, my name is Rock Lee.”

But she sighed inwardly, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

Sure enough, a brilliant genius like Naruto associates with members of powerful and wealthy families. Compared to them, I am far inferior.

Thinking of this, Rock Lee became even more depressed.
