As soon as her Byakugan activated, Hinata saw an almost blinding light.
"That is…."
Hinata's little face froze, her soft lips slightly parted, as she stared at Naruto in astonishment.
Is that Naruto's Chakra?
How could there be so much?
In Hinata's eyes, Naruto had more Chakra than anyone she had ever seen—and there seemed to be even more still.
At the center of the field, Naruto faced Sasuke as he rushed forward. He raised his hand and stepped toward him.
Sasuke threw a punch at Naruto's face.
However…
Naruto placed two fingers on the back of Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke's attack shifted off its path; he lost his balance and stumbled forward.
But Sasuke wasn't easily defeated. He didn't know why Naruto had stopped his attack—he assumed it was luck.
Using the momentum under his feet, Sasuke leaped into the air and brought a foot down toward Naruto.
Although Naruto could block it, he had no intention of countering with full force. He shifted slightly and dodged.
Then they engaged in close combat.
The ninja students' fighting mostly relied on Taijutsu. Naruto stood calmly, countering Sasuke with just one hand.
Sasuke, on the other hand, struggled desperately, throwing everything he had into the fight.
But after two or three moves, Sasuke found himself inexplicably restrained by Naruto.
Naruto held Sasuke's arm with one hand and elbowed his other arm. At that moment, Sasuke's back was turned, and Naruto lifted his entire body with one hand.
"What… what's going on?"
Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief.
The cheers from the crowd gradually quieted.
They had expected a simple sparring match—but this had become a crushing display. And somehow, the roles seemed reversed.
Sasuke struggled to break free, but Naruto's arms felt like iron. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape.
He even tried to throw Naruto, but was held firmly in place.
Naruto thought with mild confusion: Have you been practicing wrestling since you were a child?
"You lose," Naruto said calmly.
Sasuke knew he had lost, but he couldn't accept it. Losing wasn't easy for him, especially not to a peer. And Naruto had only used one hand!
Naruto released him. Sasuke's feet hit the ground, and he felt a sense of relief—but also shock.
Could he really be afraid of continuing the fight against Naruto?
"How did you train?" Sasuke asked, staring at Naruto intently.
At that moment, Naruto's image in Sasuke's eyes changed. From an unknown, transparent student, he now seemed mysterious. Especially considering Naruto's nickname: Monster.
Could it be… he really is?
Sasuke couldn't help but think more.
Naruto, naturally, didn't reveal the truth. Instead, he replied casually, "Well… I'm not really sure myself."
Sasuke: "…"
Not willing to say? That made sense. In a world where strength mattered, anyone who discovered a way to improve it quickly would hide it as much as possible.
Now Naruto said nothing, and Sasuke wasn't going to give up.
Outside the arena, Hinata wasn't surprised that Naruto had defeated Sasuke—she had seen his Chakra.
Others, however, were shocked.
Ino rubbed her eyes and asked Haruno Sakura, "Sakura, did I see that wrong?"
"You saw it right," Haruno Sakura replied, staring timidly at Naruto. "Sasuke… he lost completely."
Haruno Sakura shivered, recalling how she and Ino had teased Naruto. What if he hadn't held back back then…
Iruka stepped forward and announced, "The final practical exercise: Uzumaki Naruto wins!"
[Ding~ System task completed. Simulation opportunity +1]
A prompt appeared in Naruto's mind. After completing this mission, the next task hadn't yet been released.
Naruto wasn't in a hurry. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge.
Iruka didn't expect Naruto to be so strong.
After school, he approached Naruto and asked some questions. Naruto naturally gave a few harmless lies—he didn't want anyone to know about the system, not even Iruka.
Although Iruka sensed something unusual, he couldn't figure it out. Instead, he invited Naruto to eat at Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto agreed.
They were about to leave when Sasuke, who had been waiting, approached with a cold expression.
Sasuke hadn't fully accepted his defeat. After all, it wasn't just close—he had been completely beaten.
"Uzumaki Naruto, I want to know your training method," Sasuke said bluntly, lacking any skill in flattery.
It wasn't that Naruto refused, he simply had no set method of training. "I don't train. I just rely on my talent," he said.
Talent?
Sasuke scoffed. Naruto had once been very thin. While no one noticed before, Sasuke knew Naruto's physical condition had improved drastically.
He didn't believe it and followed Naruto. Naruto ignored him.
The three arrived at Ichiraku Ramen and ate. Iruka left to attend to some matters, but Sasuke refused to leave.
"What do you want?" Naruto asked, holding his forehead helplessly. "I've really never practiced."
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets. "Maybe you can set the conditions. Tell me what I need to do before you agree to share your training method."
Sasuke was serious about improving his strength. He practiced every day, had the resources of the Uchiha clan, and lacked nothing.
Naruto, on the other hand, had no resources and no formal training. Could someone like him reach this level by talent alone? Impossible.
Sasuke was certain Naruto had a secret method.
Naruto knew that if he didn't give Sasuke a benefit—or scare him—he wouldn't let go easily. A mischievous idea crossed his mind.
Sasuke was good-looking, delicate, and arrogant.
What if Naruto asked him to wear women's clothes…?
A small smile appeared on Naruto's face.
Sasuke suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. This Naruto… does he have some kind of perverted hobby?
Naruto then said, "I want you to wear women's clothes and take a set of photos."
Sasuke's calm expression froze. His lips tightened as he glared fiercely at Naruto.
