The battle continued. Seeing that the Great Fireball Technique hadn't worked, Sasuke threw two kunai and four shuriken at Naruto, then charged towards him again.
Naruto casually pulled out a small ingot of mithril, not much bigger than a kunai, and used it to block. He deflected three shuriken and one kunai. One shuriken grazed past him, tearing his clothes. The angle of the other kunai was too tricky to dodge; it stabbed into his arm, not deeply.
Honestly, no one had ever taught him how to deal with this. Blocking four and dodging one relied entirely on his body's reaction speed.
Putting away the mithril, he endured the pain and pulled out the kunai. The wound began to heal slowly. Naruto stared at Sasuke, preparing for the next attack.
Sasuke saw Naruto's wound starting to heal and thought in astonishment, [What exactly am I fighting? Can this even be called human? So that's why he said he wasn't afraid of getting hurt at the beginning.]
Sasuke wasn't slow, and his mind worked quickly. Even in the anime, when Rock Lee kicked him into the air, he could still come up with a bunch of thoughts.
Sasuke had good technique and focused on offense. Naruto had a strong body and focused on defense.
Both sides recognized the other's strengths and weaknesses.
Sasuke had been taught since childhood; his shuriken techniques, ninjutsu, and taijutsu were all decent.
Naruto had no teacher and zero actual combat experience, but his body was strong, and his strength, speed, and reaction time were fast.
In this battle where shuriken and kunai were useless, and Sasuke didn't have enough chakra to use many ninjutsu, the fight mostly came down to taijutsu.
Sasuke's various moves forced Naruto onto the defensive. Getting hit a few times didn't matter much. When Naruto counterattacked, one punch would be too much for Sasuke to handle.
There was no helping it. Sasuke's training was the ninja world way, while Naruto's was the Saiyan training method. My art style is above yours, how can you win?
Punching Sasuke back again, Naruto taunted, "Is this all the strength you have?"
He wasn't good at talk-no-jutsu, but he could definitely taunt. After all, he had the body of an MT (Main Tank).
"Damn it," Sasuke gritted his teeth and got up to attack again. What exactly have I learned in school these past few years? I can't even beat someone who's never attended class.
The Ninja Academy truly wasn't qualified as a place to train ninjas. In the original story, Team 7 only knew the Three Basic Jutsu, plus the useless Clone Jutsu. Even tree climbing and water walking were taught after graduation. Six years from enrollment to graduation, and this was all they learned. The rest was theory and calculations.
But what use were these calculations? Which ninja throws a kunai after listing a bunch of formulas? Didn't they all rely on feeling?
Forget about those. Was it really that hard to train tree climbing in school? It just required a mat.
After another round of flashy moves, Sasuke was thrown to the ground by Naruto with an over-the-shoulder throw. Naruto stepped on Sasuke's neck and taunted again, "Is this your capacity?"
Taunt level +1. Naruto remembered that on the day of the massacre, Itachi told Sasuke he killed the entire clan to test his capacity.
"Urghhh," memories of Itachi's words before the bloodshed flooded his mind. Sasuke let out a roar, though the sound coming from under Naruto's foot didn't sound human.
Seeing it was effective, Naruto lifted his leg and stepped back, ready to continue the fight.
Sasuke charged forward, panting heavily. Naruto calmly counterattacked. The stamina gap was too large; Sasuke couldn't keep up for less than 20 minutes.
Two minutes later.
Dodging Sasuke's attack, Naruto kicked Sasuke in the back. After kicking him down, Naruto stepped on Sasuke's head, just like Kakashi did in the graduation exam. He leaned down and whispered in Sasuke's ear, "Looks like the Uchiha are nothing special after all, still getting stepped on by me."
Naruto remembered villains in TV shows doing this, then getting killed by the protagonist who powered up.
Taunt MAX. Sasuke had three sensitive points: his strength (Naruto's first taunt), what Itachi said to him (Naruto's second taunt), and the Uchiha clan's honor (Naruto's final taunt).
"AAAAAAHHH!" Reason snapped. Anger took over. With strength coming from nowhere, Sasuke pushed himself up from the ground with his hands, slowly pushing Naruto's foot off.
Naruto stepped back, preparing to continue the "tutoring."
"DON'T—YOU—DARE—INSULT—UCHIHA!" Sasuke growled word by word. He looked up, his eyes crimson. Two tomoe in his right eye, one tomoe in his left.
Naruto sighed inwardly. As expected of the Indra-brand cheat. The Sharingan activates just like that, and even has an extra tomoe compared to the initial awakening. Sasuke's talent isn't bad, and his foundation is solid. He just lacks combat experience. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until the fight with Haku to awaken his eyes.
This Ninja Academy that teaches nothing is just a large pig farm.
Empowered by the Sharingan and fueled by rage, Sasuke continued his assault, moving faster. For a moment, he actually suppressed Naruto.
With the boost in power and the Sharingan's insight allowing him to better react to Naruto's attacks, it was normal for him to temporarily have the upper hand.
Naruto thought, MMP Damn it you've activated your cheat, should I activate mine too? It wouldn't be too much to just pop out one tail, right? But no, unleashing the Nine-Tails would be bullying. It was enough to achieve today's goal.
Less than three minutes later, Sasuke collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, reason returning.
The burst of power couldn't last. In fact, a minute and a half was already quite long. The remaining time was purely willpower. At the same time, Sasuke was adapting to the Sharingan's power.
Naruto looked at Sasuke lying on the ground, conflicted for a long time. Finally, gritting his teeth, he put his arm near Sasuke's mouth and said through clenched teeth, "Take a bite."
"?" Sasuke was too tired to speak, giving him a red-eyed glare (because he wasn't a Hyuga).
"Take a bite to restore chakra and injuries. Use the Sharingan to memorize the spot. If you bite the wrong place next time, I'll beat you to death," Naruto explained, mentally chanting, [Just pretend it was a dog bite, just pretend it was a dog bite.]
Biting down on the arm, Sasuke immediately felt his chakra and injuries rapidly recovering.
Naruto turned his head away, like a child afraid to watch a needle during an injection. He could feel his chakra draining, and perhaps a little bit of his life force was being carried away too.
His mind drifted to a Naruto clip he saw on Bilibili in his previous life: in the Boruto movie, Naruto fell from the sky, one hand on his waist, the other grabbing Sasuke's arm draped over his head.
Then Boruto said, "Sugoi (Amazing)."
He didn't know if Boruto's Japanese was bad or what, but the pronunciation of that phrase was very problematic.
The danmaku (live comments) suddenly popped up with Dead Gay as an alternate reading, and then everything that followed was "Dead Gay."
If Hinata's first child is a boy, I'm definitely getting an abortion, Naruto thought viciously. Himawari is so cute.
"What is this ability?" Sasuke sat up and asked.
His chakra was full, his injuries recovered. Besides some lingering fatigue, he felt exactly the same as before he came to this grove. This ability was really useful.
"Clan talent, just like your Sharingan," Naruto explained. Not every Uchiha awakened the Sharingan, and not every Uzumaki had this ability. It was pretty much the same.
"Oh."
"Sorry about earlier," Naruto sat down next to Sasuke and apologized. He had insulted him quite a bit earlier and even stepped on his head. An apology was necessary.
"It's fine. Thanks," Sasuke didn't really know how to answer. On one hand, Naruto helped him awaken his Sharingan; on the other hand, he insulted the Uchiha.
If Naruto had just started fighting him and said those things from the beginning, either he would have killed Naruto or Naruto would have killed him by now.
But Naruto told him beforehand that he would help him awaken his eyes. Although the process wasn't pleasant, the result was good. So, after thinking for a while, he decided to let it go. The two Sharingan tomoe were proof enough that nothing happened.
After resting for a while, Naruto stood up and said, "That's it for today. Go back and get used to the Sharingan first. We'll talk about the grilled meat tomorrow."
"Mm."
Naruto sent a clone to teleport Sasuke back to the school. Naruto then continued dragging trees.
The clone dragged Sasuke by the arm. Remembering the 'Dead Gay' comment, not dragging him by the neck was already considered polite.
