"Actually, I think you should be grateful to Naruto."
Seeing Sasuke trembling with anger, Aoba worried he might get too worked up and restrained his amusement at the situation.
"...", Sasuke remained silent, lying on the ground, but his body shook even more violently.
Clearly, he was even angrier.
"As the second young master of the Uchiha clan, you must be aware of your family's bloodline limit, right?"
Aoba said to Sasuke while glancing at Ino, "Ino, lend me your small mirror for a moment."
"Okay," Ino, who was chatting with her two girlfriends, quickly ran over with the mirror upon hearing this.
"Aoba, here you go," After handing the mirror to Aoba, she glanced at Sasuke. A trace of pity flickered in her complex gaze.
'Too pitiful!'
But she quickly ran back to her friends to continue watching the show.
Because Sasuke's expression was just too terrifying right now, making Ino feel a bit scared. It was better to keep some distance.
When Aoba looked at Sasuke again, he found that Sasuke was also staring at him.
"What do you mean?"
Aoba directly placed the mirror in front of him, "See for yourself."
Sasuke took the mirror in confusion and looked into it, his expression went blank.
"This is… the Sharingan?"
———
Inside the Hokage building.
"Explain in detail, how exactly did Uchiha Sasuke awaken his Sharingan?", Sarutobi Hiruzen found it incredible.
The Anbu member had no choice but to recount the series of events that had just taken place in even greater detail.
After hearing the explanation again, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally snapped out of his shock and couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected the Sharingan to awaken in such a way."
However, this also aligned with the traits of the Uchiha clan. In the process of gaining and losing love, intense emotions would transform into even stronger hatred, thereby stimulating their eyes and awakening their bloodline limit.
What made Sarutobi Hiruzen's scalp tingle was that this particular "love" seemed a bit… odd.
Although Naruko was transformed from Naruto, at the core, he was still Naruto.
It was difficult to determine whether Sasuke's emotions were directed toward Naruko or Naruto.
Ever since he was slandered by rumors, he now saw hints of 'affection' in almost everyone.
"Lord Third, should we prevent Uchiha Sasuke from getting closer to Uzumaki Naruto?", An Anbu ninja posed the question.
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while before responding, "Observe for now. Report to me immediately if any issues arise."
He had too many mission reports to handle daily and couldn't possibly monitor Naruto 24/7. That was the Anbu's job.
"Understood!"
———
"Are you saying that the Uchiha who is always with the Jinchuriki has awakened his Sharingan?", In a dimly lit corner, Shimura Danzo's eyes gleamed.
The Root ninja respectfully answered, "I saw it with my own eyes."
Shimura Danzo suddenly stood up, his eyes narrowing.
"The Uchiha clan… has produced another genius."
After a moment of thought, Shimura Danzo turned and walked out.
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen had been avoiding him lately, he had to go to the Hokage building this time.
———
"I… I actually awakened the Sharingan?"
Sasuke looked at the mirror in disbelief, staring at the pair of crimson eyes as beautiful as rubies.
Within them, a single tomoe adorned each eye.
Because he had been so consumed by anger earlier, he hadn't even noticed the power the Sharingan granted him.
Now, his perception had drastically improved, his speed, strength, and chakra had all increased due to the feedback from the Sharingan.
The anger in Sasuke's heart had mostly dissipated, replaced by ecstasy in his eyes.
The next moment, Sasuke burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha."
"Hahahahaha!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"?"
As everyone knew, whenever Sasuke got overly confident and laughed wildly, a beating was sure to follow.
Aoba could already envision Sasuke challenging him tomorrow after obtaining the Sharingan.
Under Aoba's slightly speechless gaze, Sasuke slowly stood up.
Although his body was still exhausted, his newly awakened Sharingan gleamed brilliantly, radiating confidence and battle intent.
As the son of the Uchiha clan leader, the younger brother of the clan's greatest genius, he knew exactly what these eyes represented.
The Sharingan was the symbol of the Uchiha clan, the greatest reliance that allowed them to dominate the ninja world, and their ultimate pride.
With these eyes, he would never lose to any peer.
"Aoba! You are no longer my match. You will become the first stepping stone on my path as a ninja!", There was no denying that Sasuke's confidence after gaining new power was real, but his arrogance was also truly insufferable.
That condescending attitude made even Aoba feel an urge to give him a good beating.
But before he could say anything, Naruto had already jumped out.
Because Aoba wasn't the only one annoyed by Sasuke's behavior just now.
Naruto was even more upset. Sasuke had just lost to him, yet now he was completely ignoring him?
With a frustrated expression, Naruto rudely extended his finger and pointed it right at Sasuke's nose, shouting loudly.
"Sasuke, if you want to challenge Aoba, you have to get through me first!"
"Don't forget, you just lost to me…"
CRACK!
A sudden sound startled Naruto, making him stop mid-sentence.
Because that was the sound of Sasuke clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
Sasuke, who had been brimming with confidence, suddenly had a twisted expression when he saw Naruto.
It wasn't that he had forgotten the shame and pain of awakening his Sharingan, he had just forcibly suppressed it.
"With these eyes, you, who only rely on cheap tricks, are no longer qualified to be my opponent. The only one worthy of standing before me now is Aoba," Sasuke arrogantly dismissed Naruto and then turned back to Aoba, his gaze burning with unhidden battle intent.
"Aoba, once my body recovers tomorrow, I will challenge you again!"
"At that time, I will defeat you with the true power of the Uchiha!"
After saying that, he didn't spare Naruto a single glance, nor did he give him a chance to respond.
Dragging his exhausted body, he walked away the way he had come.
Right now, he had to go find his brother or father to learn how to use the power of the Sharingan. Then he would properly defeat Aoba.
"Sasuke, you bastard! I'm your real opponent!"
"As long as I'm here, don't even think about laying a hand on Aoba!", Watching Sasuke's departing figure, Naruto shouted in frustration.
Aoba, looking at the back of this chunni Sasuke, simply shook his head.
He didn't consider the newly awakened Sharingan Sasuke to be on the same level as him.
After all, he had just learned the Chakra Enhanced Strength Punch. He hadn't even had a chance to test it yet.
