Chapter 33 - 33

The two Anbu members quickly flew away, and the rest of the team observed the situation vigilantly.

Naruto looked at Sasuke, and what rose in his heart was not only the will to fight but also a pride and confidence that had gradually accumulated over time. At this moment, the furious Sasuke instantly took action, stomping on the ground hard and shooting forward at an incredible speed! He kicked fiercely at Naruto!

Naruto took a deep breath, suppressed his boiling emotions, and also concentrated on the battle itself. For him, this battle with Sasuke was also crucial! This was a battle of proof for both of them!

The power, speed, angle, and direction of Sasuke's kick were impeccable and flawless. If this were to happen at the ninja academy, everyone would be surprised and amazed. However, this was not the first time Naruto had seen this kick. In his dreams, he had fought Sasuke dozens of times!

In a single moment, even without Naruto himself realizing it, his body had already reacted instinctively.

*Thwack—*

He didn't dodge or even defend himself, but instead launched a direct counterattack! A head-on confrontation! He kicked out with the same powerful leg! The power of their two kicks intertwined and collided, and Sasuke's face changed instantly!

*'So fast! And how is his power so great? Is this still the same Naruto who was always at the bottom?!'*

Naruto did not hesitate at all. This kick had gained him the upper hand. He immediately twisted his waist, jumped into the air, and kicked out with his other leg again! Sasuke was startled and crossed his arms to block, but he was still kicked back by Naruto. His feet left two deep grooves on the ground!

"Damn it, when did his taijutsu become so powerful?!" Before Sasuke's eyes, Naruto appeared again, desperately training in the training ground. Deep down, he also knew that this was the result of Naruto's desperate efforts. But he still couldn't accept it! Naruto was actually suppressing Sasuke in physical skills and had the upper hand!

Under normal circumstances, Naruto would have cheered and jumped for joy. However, after dozens of life-and-death battles in his dreams, he now had not only more experience and lessons but, more importantly, the mentality and will to fight! His face remained calm, and he even launched a pursuit immediately!

Sasuke was furious, crossed his arms, and then suddenly bent over and raised his hands!

*Thwack, thwack, thwack—*

Seven or eight shuriken shot out immediately! This was the result of his training with Uchiha Itachi since he was a child. His shuriken technique was perfect! Naruto did not dare to delay. He jumped up suddenly, avoiding most of the shuriken. He even took out his kunai in mid-air, blocked left and right, and knocked the remaining shuriken away. But after this buffer, Sasuke had also adjusted his posture.

A kunai also appeared in his hand instantly. Facing Naruto, who was falling from the sky and chasing him, he slashed at it against the wind. It turned into an arc of light that cut through the sky, revealing its cold edge! The two men's kunai collided fiercely, and a burst of intense flames erupted!

"Why did this dead-place suddenly become so powerful?!" Sasuke gritted his teeth, but the kunai in his hand was merciless, and he also made full use of the results of his desperate training. In terms of skills, he was still far superior to Naruto.

*Rip—*

With a slight sound, Naruto's sleeve was cut again. But he didn't care. He roared and stabbed out with the kunai. The two kunai collided again, and with a loud bang, they both flew out of their hands. Before the two kunai even fell to the ground, Naruto launched his killing move without hesitation! In his dream, out of 37 battles, he had won 3 of them with this one move!

"Konoha Whirlwind!" Naruto leaped into the air, his legs circling in a rapid series of movements, making it hard to tell where his attacks would land. Caught off guard, his fierce kicking skills had already exploded!

Sasuke was surprised. But he had already seen this move of Naruto's. In preparation for this battle, he had done his homework and was well prepared!

"Hmph—" A kunai appeared in his hand again. He had actually seen through Naruto's attack and placed it right in front of the landing point! If Naruto didn't want a bloody hole to be pierced through his right leg, he had to stop!

However… "Don't underestimate me… Sasuke!" Naruto didn't hesitate at all. Even facing the cold and sharp edge of the kunai, he still kicked out fiercely!

*Boom—*

With a loud bang, Sasuke screamed, and his whole body was kicked away!

*Bang!*

He crashed heavily into a large tree by the roadside, causing the trunk to shake and the leaves to flutter and fall everywhere! He groaned and almost vomited blood!

However, at the same time, Naruto's right leg had been pierced by Sasuke's kunai, and blood was gushing out like a fountain! He grimaced, enduring the excruciating pain that penetrated deep into his bones, but a hint of a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "How's it going, Sasuke… That kick must have hurt, right?!"

Sasuke was shocked. Naruto, the last one in the class, had made tremendous progress in strength, but why was his mentality and willpower during the battle so terrifying?! To defeat him, even if he lost a leg, it didn't matter?!

Of course, he wouldn't know. In his dream, Naruto had even risked his life in order to defeat him. Just a leg, what did it matter!

Looking at Naruto, who looked like a madman, Sasuke felt a sense of fear and retreat in his heart again. That was the deep scar left by Uchiha Itachi… his inner demons and nightmares!

"Hateful!" Sasuke roared angrily and punched the tree trunk hard, causing the bark to fly and wood chips to scatter, but his fist also drew blood! "I won't lose to anyone until I kill that man! I will never lose to you, … Naruto!"

He immediately formed the hand seals with his hands and suddenly unleashed his ninjutsu. "Fire Style! Great Fireball Technique!" In an instant, the raging flames turned into a fireball, gushed out, and rolled towards Naruto rapidly! At this level of the Ninja Academy, such a ninjutsu could be called a real killer weapon! If it were the original Naruto, he would have been unable to resist at all. But he'd seen it too many times. He dodged the attack by moving sideways suddenly. The Great Fireball Technique instantly devoured the tree behind Naruto.

In the twilight of the setting sun, with the firelight of the large tree burning behind them, Naruto and Sasuke were both bloodthirsty and could no longer stop. They rushed towards each other!

In this life-or-death moment, Sasuke's pupils suddenly glowed blood-red, and his normal pupils instantly transformed into spinning magatama. It was… the Sharingan!

At the moment when Naruto burst out with murderous intent, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, and the six long whiskers on his cheeks seemed to be torn apart. His expression became ferocious and distorted. That was the effect of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's tailed beast chakra… Rampage Mode!

All the Anbu ninjas were immediately frightened and sweating profusely!

"That… that is…"

"Oh no!"

Naruto and Sasuke, at this moment, were already bloodthirsty. Sasuke carried a deep, bloody feud, which he had been suppressing deep in his heart. Now, stimulated by Naruto, he had completely vented and burst out, even opening his Sharingan, and swearing to defeat Naruto at all costs! And the same was true for Naruto. The criticism, indifference, contempt, and hatred he had suffered also poured out, coupled with the strong desire to defeat Sasuke and be recognized by him. The obsession that he would never win if he didn't give his all and fight with the attitude of killing his opponent in the dream drove his body at this moment, and the violence poured out!

Even the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Kurama, no longer interfered with Naruto's training on weekdays. But this time was different. Sensing the brutality in Naruto's heart, Kurama immediately had the idea of assimilating him. This was his long-term plan! Through repeated rampages, he would completely take away Naruto's will, occupy his body, and be reborn from the ashes! Kurama naturally would not give up this opportunity. Although Naruto's so-called rampage now had only released a trace of the Nine-Tails' chakra and murderous aura, that was enough.
