"Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent..."
Under Sasuke's Sharingan, Kakashi slowly completed the hand seals and growled in a low voice.
In an instant, a blue lightning bolt materialized in Kakashi's right hand... Through his Sharingan, Sasuke clearly saw the true nature of the lightning.
A lightning serpent, coiled into a ball, pulsed with electrical arcs in the center of his palm... "This is the first attack method..."
Kakashi grabbed the lightning serpent ball, shook it, and explained, then suddenly opened his palm.
With a crackling of intertwined electrical currents, the coiled lightning serpent erupted and surged towards Sasuke... Instinctively,
Sasuke burst with Chakra under his feet, retreating several meters, finally landing ten meters away.
The Lightning Serpent, after extending eight meters, struck the ground, leaving a charred long line... "That's basically it!
The strength and length of the Lightning Serpent will change with the caster's Chakra.
But the essence remains unchanged... Now it's up to you, Sasuke."
Kakashi's serious expression instantly changed, returning to his usual unmotivated, lazy demeanor.
He turned to leave... "Damn it, Kakashi-sensei secretly gave Sasuke private special training.
That's too much..."
Just then, Naruto suddenly ran out, yelling furiously.
His bright blue eyes welled up with tears of grievance, almost spilling out... "I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei.
I tried to stop Naruto from coming, but I couldn't!"
Sakura, standing nearby, quickly waved her hands in apology, but her gaze was fixed on Sasuke, her eyes sparkling.
As expected of the man she admired, he was already learning a new Ninjutsu!
However, she also felt a little unwilling... "Well, we've been found..."
Kakashi scratched his head with an awkward smile, showing no remorse, and then looked at Naruto and Sakura.
"You two, you don't need to think I'm favoring Sasuke.
Sakura, your Chakra is too low right now and you're not suitable for Ninjutsu training.
Naruto, have you finished your tree climbing training?
Once you complete your tree climbing training, then we can talk about learning Ninjutsu..."
Kakashi casually made an excuse to brush them off, and with a 'whoosh', his figure instantly disappeared.
"Huh? He got away again... Damn it, I'm going to start training desperately.
I'll learn tree climbing quickly so Kakashi-sensei can teach me new Ninjutsu... I'll definitely catch up to you, Sasuke!!"
Naruto scratched his head and yelled loudly, then glared at Sasuke and charged towards a nearby tree.
"Hot-blooded idiot..."
Sasuke shrugged and muttered helplessly, then slowly formed hand seals to begin his training.
Naruto learning Ninjutsu??
What a joke, he's the type who just spammed one Rasengan until the very end... "So cool, Sasuke..."
As electrical arcs flickered in Sasuke's palm, Sakura propped her face with her hands, instantly captivated... Time flew by, and evening arrived.
Both Naruto and Sasuke were exhausted at this point...
The two of them had trained at full throttle all day, with Sakura in charge of lunch.
However, neither tree climbing nor Lightning Release.
Neither of them had completed their training... "So you guys are training here!
Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto..."
Just as the three were about to head home to rest, a voice suddenly echoed from outside the forest.
Sasuke turned his head and saw Inuzuka Kiba running quickly with Akamaru...
Behind him were Hinata and Shino, also from Team 8.
And closely following the three were the Ino–Shika–Chō of Team 10...
"Kiba, what are you doing here, you brat?"
Naruto, who also saw them, immediately perked up and questioned him.
"Didn't Sasuke tell you?
He invited us all to a class reunion dinner... Could it be that you, Naruto, weren't invited?
But that's understandable.
After all, you're just a useless dead last..."
Inuzuka Kiba said smugly, his words dripping with sarcasm.
He wasn't afraid of Naruto at all!
"Damn it, what are you talking about, you guy... Who's a useless dead last, wanna fight?"
Naruto bristled instantly upon hearing this, rolling up his sleeves and glaring fiercely at Inuzuka Kiba.
"Don't, don't do this... We're all comrades, Kiba, Naruto-kun..."
Hinata quickly spoke up upon seeing the situation, her shy yet brave contradictory demeanor leaving Sasuke speechless.
Hinata, she's too shy...
With a personality like that, can she really take the initiative to make suggestions??
Or should I go find the genius Neji??
"Idiot Naruto, what are you doing... We're here to eat together today, don't mess things up!"
Ino quickly stepped between the two and shouted, then turned to look at Sasuke, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Sasuke-kun, didn't you say at our date last night that you wanted to have a class reunion?
I've already arranged with Hinata and the others, where should we have dinner now?
Should we go to the hot pot restaurant near my family's flower shop??"
[Dinner? Date!!]
Before Sasuke could answer, Sakura, standing nearby, clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming fiercely.
She had been careless, too careless...
She had naively thought that being in the same team as Sasuke meant she had nothing to worry about, and had let her guard down.
That Ino, she actually secretly went on a date with Sasuke-kun last night!
And Sasuke-kun even agreed!!
How could she accept such a thing... "Ahaha... Ino, you don't need to worry about this!
Sasuke-kun and I discussed the class reunion, it's at Yoshinoya's all-you-can-eat barbecue..."
Her mind racing, Sakura immediately grabbed Sasuke's arm, declaring her ownership.
She absolutely couldn't let Ino get the upper hand... "Is that so, Sasuke-kun..."
A hint of surprise also flashed in Ino's eyes, as she forced a smile and asked.
But in her heart, alarm bells were ringing... Sakura, as expected, their relationship had progressed rapidly after becoming teammates with Sasuke.
"Damn it... Sasuke, what exactly do you mean by this?
You discussed it with Sakura but didn't tell me, didn't you already acknowledge my existence... Why, why didn't you invite me!!"
Just as Sasuke was shocked by Sakura adding drama, Naruto suddenly roared, his emotions agitated.
This made everyone present turn their gaze towards Sasuke...
Sasuke actually acknowledged the dead last Naruto!!
And Sasuke, at this moment, felt as if ten thousand Tailed Beasts were stampeding through his heart...
Why was Naruto causing trouble, making it seem like he had abandoned him!
Coupled with the open rivalry between Sakura and Ino, Sasuke couldn't help but have the illusion of three women fighting over one man.
[Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... What three women fighting over one man, I'm very straight!!]
Sasuke quickly cast aside that strange thought, cleared his throat, and adjusted his mindset...
"Idiot, you were busy training just now, where would there be time... I said it's a class reunion, aren't you a classmate?"
Sasuke said with a look of disdain, which instantly turned Naruto's expression from cloudy to sunny, making him incredibly excited!
"Let's go, everyone... Destination, Yoshinoya's all-you-can-eat barbecue..."
Sighing inwardly, Sasuke turned and gave a deep look at the uneasy Sakura.
Then he looked up and shouted.
"Okay, Sasuke-kun..."
Upon hearing this, Sakura's anxious heart finally settled, and she hugged Sasuke's arm tightly, sweetly saying.
Sasuke-kun, as expected, he's still on her side...
Ino, you're doomed to lose!
"Don't hug Sasuke-kun so tightly, Sakura..."
Seeing this, Ino was furious, and immediately went to pull Sakura away from Sasuke.
Her bright blue eyes erupted with endless fighting spirit, refusing to give in!
Sakura, naturally, was not to be outdone, and confidently engaged in the competition to get closer to Sasuke...
"Oh, I knew this would happen!
What a hassle..."
Shikamaru sighed, rubbing his forehead as he watched the two, then took two steps forward to Sasuke's right.
"Sasuke..."
Naruto's eyes darted around, and he immediately ran to Sasuke's left, the last hope of stopping Sakura and Ino.
Looking at his left and right-hand men, Sasuke's expression was momentarily profound...
