Chapter 6
"Although his personality is aloof, Sasuke's strength is quite impressive. Someone like him suits you well, Kakashi!"
The three Jonin team leaders in the distance also witnessed Sasuke's performance.
It could only be said that he lived up to his title as the top rookie.
"I feel there's no need to watch either. That kid called White Night won't be able to block it!"
Asuma was already planning to leave; there was no need to watch further.
An Uchiha Clan genius versus a civilian—the outcome was obvious.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
White Night casually clapped his hands and began making a few symbolic hand seals.
White Night realized he could use Ninjutsu even without hand seals, but to keep a low profile, he still performed a few symbolic ones.
"Poof!!"
Over a dozen of White Night's Shadow Clones instantly appeared around him.
"Wow, White Night can actually create so many clones at once!"
Sakura screamed again after seeing White Night's display.
"But these won't be of any use against that guy Sasuke, right?"
Shikamaru didn't think the Clone Jutsu would work on Sasuke.
"Clone Jutsu? Thinking you can confuse me with this is too naive!"
Sasuke sneered disdainfully.
"Under the Sharingan, everything is useless!"
But when Sasuke activated his Sharingan, he was utterly dumbfounded.
"How is this possible!"
From Sasuke's perspective, every single clone possessed a massive amount of Chakra.
In other words, even the Sharingan couldn't discern which was the real body and which were the clones.
"Water Release: Wild Water Wave!"
Facing Sasuke's attack, White Night didn't choose to dodge. Instead, he directly countered with the Ninjutsu he had learned the day before.
Water and fire collided. Sasuke's Great Fireball was snuffed out like a tiny flame.
Sasuke himself was also sent flying by the powerful surge of water vapor.
In fact, if White Night's mastery of this jutsu wasn't already flawless, Sasuke might have died under it.

Chapter 8 Sasuke: Referee, how do you fight against a chakra monster?
"How... is this possible!"
The fallen Sasuke wore an expression of utter disbelief. He had actually lost to his opponent.
"You lose!"
At that moment, a Kunai was already placed against Sasuke's neck.
"The winner is... White Night!"
As soon as Iruka announced the winner, the girls in the audience erupted into cheers.
"He won?"
"Oh my god, this is too unbelievable! I never expected Lord White Night to be this strong!"
"Was that the C-rank Ninjutsu, Wild Water Wave? It feels like White Night uses it more proficiently than my father, and my father is a Jonin!"
"The top rookie of this year, Uchiha Sasuke, actually lost to White Night?"
"Lord White Night is so handsome! I want to..."
Naruto, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. This wasn't right; the plot shouldn't have progressed this way!
In the observation stands.
Neji and Tenten were also finding it hard to believe. White Night had actually defeated Sasuke?
"What happened to Sasuke just now? Couldn't his Sharingan see which was the real body?"
Tenten said, puzzled. It shouldn't have been like that.
"By the way, Lee, how did you know White Night would win?"
Tenten suddenly remembered that Lee had said earlier that White Night would win.
Lee told the two what he had seen.
"You're saying that White Night, while wearing that terrifying weighted gear, could still cleanly defeat Sasuke?"
A glint flashed in Neji's eyes.
"Interesting. This is getting more and more interesting!"
Originally, he thought only Uchiha Sasuke from this year could possibly match him, but he never expected White Night could also put some pressure on him.
Everyone on the field reacted differently, but the most bewildered had to be Sasuke.
The fallen Sasuke stood up stiffly, simultaneously beginning to question his life.
He hadn't been able to see through his opponent's Clone Jutsu just now?
And also, what the hell was that monstrous chakra? Referee, this guy is cheating!
Just now, when he was targeted by the Water Release from over a dozen Shadow Clones, Sasuke almost thought he was going to meet his parents.
That sense of crisis... those Shadow Clones were definitely not simple Clone Jutsu!
"The jutsu you used just now was definitely not the Clone Jutsu!"
Sasuke stood up and asked stubbornly.
Don't ask why Sasuke was so confident. It was because he had previously witnessed the Body Flicker Technique of one of his older cousins.
The clones White Night used were absolutely not ordinary Clone Jutsu.
"Oh!"
White Night hadn't expected Sasuke to figure it out. He could only think, 'as expected of the Sharingan.'
"Correct. It's an ordinary B-rank Ninjutsu: the Shadow Clone Jutsu."
"What? How is that possible!"
Sasuke's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"Even after training for so many years, the Chakra in my body can't sustain too many Great Fireballs!"
This defeat was a massive blow to Sasuke.
Sasuke simply couldn't fathom what he was even facing!
"Everyone's constitution is different."
White Night said with utter calm.
Possessing Wood Release, isn't it normal to have a *bit* more Chakra in one's body?
Simultaneously, White Night turned his head to look at the place where Kakashi and the others were hiding.
"Interesting. Observing us, are they?"
However, White Night didn't pay it too much mind. The Shadow Clone Jutsu was part of the inheritance left to him by his parents.
It was perfectly reasonable that he could use it.
As for having a *bit* more Chakra in his body, White Night stuck to his line: everyone's constitution is different. What's wrong with him having a *bit* more than them?
But White Night turning his head like that made Kakashi fall into deep thought.
"Did he... sense us just now?"
Kurenai Yuhi said, somewhat unable to believe it.
"And what hand seals was he making just now?"
Even Kurenai couldn't tell what hand seals White Night had used during the fight.
"B-rank Ninjutsu, the Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Kakashi saw through the details at a glance. Although it was the Shadow Clone Jutsu, those hand seals seemed like they were just for show.
"A B-rank Ninjutsu? How dare he?"
Asuma gasped in shock upon hearing this. Using a B-rank Ninjutsu at this age?
"Then the jutsu he used earlier was real too?"
Now even Asuma had to start taking White Night seriously.
"When did Konoha produce such a genius!"
Asuma felt this matter absolutely had to be reported to his old man.
Young, handsome, a once-in-a-century genius, and even a civilian to boot!
The last time Asuma saw a character setup like this was when facing the Fourth Hokage!
"No!"
That intuition surfaced again in Kakashi's heart.
The person who erupted with Chakra on the hillside that day was definitely connected to White Night!
In fact, that person very likely *was* White Night!
Kakashi was shocked by his own bold speculation.
"What's wrong, Kakashi?"
Asuma, seeing Kakashi lost in thought, asked.
"Nothing!"
Kakashi hurriedly snapped out of his previous state. Perhaps he really was overthinking it.
How could a child like White Night possibly unleash Chakra on such a scale?
Simultaneously, both Asuma and Kakashi agreed that this matter needed to be reported to the Third Hokage.
"You two go ahead. I'll stay here and watch the rest of the matches!"
Kurenai Yuhi seemed to have thought of something and thus didn't leave with Kakashi and the others.
It was clear that White Night had successfully piqued Kurenai Yuhi's interest.
Back on the field, Sasuke also understood where he had lost.
"Next time, I definitely won't lose to you!"
"This time... you won."
Sasuke wasn't a sore loser, but he just couldn't accept it.
You can defeat me, but you can never make me submit!
"I hope you'll give me a bit of a surprise the next time we meet."
White Night didn't hold any particular grudge against Sasuke either.
That's just Nizhu Zi's personality. White Night didn't think he was being targeted.
However, White Night probably wouldn't live to see the day Sasuke surpassed him.
Even if the Sage of Six Paths came to give Nizhu Zi a power-up, Sasuke likely wouldn't have a chance to surpass him in this lifetime.
After all, today was only the second day since he obtained the system.
