"In that case, there's only one way to decide the outcome!" Naruto made up his mind and dodged Sasuke's relentless attacks, trying to find the right moment to use that one move.
But Sasuke seemed to see right through his thoughts and didn't give him any chance at all. "Do you want to use that taijutsu? Still you won't stand a chance, Naruto!"
Naruto was shocked! How did Sasuke even know his own trump card so clearly?!
Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. "If you want to defeat me, try that in your next life because it isn't happening in this one!"
*Thwack, thwack, thwack—*
Several shuriken suddenly shot out, flying around from all directions! It was Sasuke's superb shurikenjutsu. Naruto quickly retreated and rolled several times to barely avoid them, but the distance between them had widened. It was now impossible to use his own special move.
"Fire Style! Great Fireball Technique!"
Sasuke suddenly formed the hand seals with lightning speed and launched the Uchiha clan's signature fire ninjutsu! For a moment, Iruka-sensei and everyone else's expressions changed!
"That… that move is dangerous…"
"Sasuke! Stop it!"
But it was too late. Sasuke took a deep breath, and the condensed, powerful chakra turned into a raging flame, which suddenly spewed out from his mouth! A huge fireball burned past, instantly obliterating Naruto's figure…
*'You're dead!'*
"Ah—" Naruto suddenly woke up from the scene, gasping for breath, as if he had really just experienced his own death! "W-what was that just now?! That bastard Sasuke… is he really trying to kill me?!"
[Although the scenes simulated by the system completely replicate reality, it is ultimately just a dream. Precisely because of this, you can let go and fight to the death!]
Naruto was not stupid and understood what the System meant. *'I'm just dreaming, so it doesn't matter even if I get killed!'*
"Damn it! System, why didn't you tell me earlier? I was badly hurt by that bastard Sasuke!"
Naruto did not get upset with himself. He immediately began to think about the reason for his recent defeat. First, he had been too careless. He thought he had a trump card and could definitely defeat Sasuke. But in fact, any killer move must be combined with other abilities to be effective. Just like what had happened, his skills were completely suppressed by Sasuke, and he didn't even had the chance to use his special move at all!
Second, it was just as the System had said. Not only were his moves and techniques inferior to Sasuke's, but his understanding of the lessons learned from the battle itself, and his willpower, were also completely inferior! Sasuke's battles were clearly conducted with the goal of actual combat in mind. Although he didn't know who his imaginary enemy was, but… he really dared to kill people!
Since it was just a dream, he should have really given it his all!
"I see… System, I request to fight again!"
[Request granted.]
In an instant, the picture was regenerated, still extremely real and detailed, as if it were real. Summer, sunshine, a gentle breeze, and long tree shadows. There was a commotion in the distance. Iruka-sensei's voice. The girls screamed. Even… Hinata whispered, "Best of luck!"
Naruto once again returned to the dream scene of the ninja sparring match. "The sparring begins!"
He had just made the seal of opposition when, at a command from Iruka-sensei, Naruto rushed towards Sasuke with his eyes wide open in a rage!
"Sass!"
Sasuke was not to be outdone. "That's a lot of talk!"
Since he knew it was just a dream and he would not really die, Naruto completely let go of everything and vented all the anger, resentment, depression, and grievances that he had accumulated in his life! In his eyes, flames seemed to ignite instantly! His pupils were even slightly deformed, giving off the sense of the vertical pupils of a nine-tailed fox! They were weird, twisted, hideous, and violent!
Uchiha Sasuke sensed Naruto's abnormality, especially the fighting spirit in his eyes, and even… his killing intent! But he didn't back down at all.
"Come on, dead last!"
Naruto's pupils were erect, and the whisker-like marks on his cheeks seemed to be torn apart. His whole face was filled with a look of pure madness and violence!
"You bastard,… I'm! Not! The! Dead! Last!"
This time, Naruto didn't hesitate at all and used his ultimate move right away. A physical technique inherited from the Blue Beast, Might Guy, exploded instantly!
"Watch this… Konoha Whirlwind!!!"
This time, Naruto didn't hold back at all. As soon as the sparring began, he immediately unleashed his trump card. The Killing Naruto form! He attacked with all his strength!
*Rumble—*
*Boom!!!*
Even Uchiha Sasuke was unable to react to this attack. He only instinctively blocked it with his hands when the violent kick came towards him. However…
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
Naruto's legs spun so rapidly in the air that even Sasuke was dazzled and couldn't see the exact moment when Naruto was about to launch the attack.
*Bang!*
A fierce kick finally exploded, and Sasuke was instantly blasted away by Naruto's full force.
*Boom—*
He flew backward seven or eight meters and slammed into the trunk of a large tree, making a terrifying roar that made people's bones feel numb!
"Ah—" Sasuke closed his eyes tightly, his face pale. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but let out a scream. The tree trunk shook violently, and leaves rained down!
For a moment, everyone was completely shocked by this scene. Iruka-sensei was stunned. "Is that really Naruto?"
Haruno Sakura and the others screamed in shock. "Sasuke-kun!"
Even Hinata was shocked. "Naruto-kun, you actually have such hidden power? He was a little scary just now…"
After Naruto struck, he gasped for breath, looked at his hands and legs, then looked at Sasuke, who was leaning against a tree in the distance, struggling with all his might to stand up again, before he finally reacted.
"I… I won… I finally won! Sasuke… the genius Sasuke was finally defeated by me!" He grinned, wanting to laugh, but he was also a little unable to believe it all.
Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth, spat out the blood in his mouth, clenched his fists, and struggled to stand up again.
"Naruto!!" He would continue to fight even if it meant his death. However, he was stopped by Iruka-sensei.
"Sasuke, you've already lost! We can't fight any further! You two, make the seal of reconciliation immediately!"
However, neither Sasuke nor Naruto accepted Iruka-sensei's instructions.
