Chapter 184: Two-Tomoe Sharingan

Naruto and Sasuke stood face-to-face, raising their hands and forming the confrontation seal.

"Sasuke! You can do it!" Ino shouted from the sidelines.

"Naruto-kun! You've got this." Hinata waved her small fists, then, thinking that Brother Neji seemed to be nearby, she calmed down a little.

Neji glanced at Hinata, then turned his head to look at the arena.

In his eyes, whether it was Naruto or Sasuke, neither was an opponent to be taken lightly.

Those eyes really had become different!

Thinking this, Neji unconsciously looked toward Sawada beside him.

Sawada smiled and turned around, then announced to Naruto and Sasuke, who were already waiting on the platform, "Let the fight begin!"

Whoosh!

BANG!

As soon as Sawada finished speaking, Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously burst forth at extreme speed, charging toward each other.

Naruto launched a spinning kick directly at Sasuke, which Sasuke blocked by raising his hand.

After such a long time, Sasuke had gradually adapted to Naruto's speed.

"Not bad, Sasuke!" Naruto praised while touching his nose.

Sasuke ignored him. The next moment, Lightning Release chakra burst forth from his hand, forcing Naruto back.

"Loser, be careful!"

Surrounded by Lightning Release chakra, Sasuke quickly launched an attack on Naruto.

Meanwhile, Naruto directly used breathing techniques to activate the Inch Force Eight Gates, occasionally releasing Wind Release chakra shockwaves to force Sasuke back.

The two were actually evenly matched in strength and had some understanding of each other's techniques.

This directly led to almost constant clashes between them.

This made Neji, standing beside Sawada, feel inexplicably breathless.

It was just that Naruto and Sasuke's strength was really too strong, exceeding what should be expected for their age.

That Naruto really didn't use his full strength when he fought me last time!

After comparing this to his previous battle with Naruto, Neji's attention was mainly focused on Naruto.

Neji couldn't help but shake his head. He was still far behind.

Sawada watched from the side, then said, "Neji, Naruto and Sasuke, as well as Shikamaru and the others."

"They've all trained for nearly a year to reach this level of strength. They've hardly rested for a day, so you just need to train hard in the future."

Hearing this, Neji nodded and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his Byakugan.

He was no longer the same as before.

"Byakugan: Activate!"

Neji directly activated his Byakugan, watching Naruto and Sasuke on the platform.

Observing opponents and understanding opponents was the only way to possibly defeat them in the future.

Neji now already considered Naruto and Sasuke as opponents. If there was a chance in the future, he should challenge both of them.

Hinata, standing to the side, watched Neji.

She always felt that Neji's Byakugan was somewhat different but couldn't say why.

However, it was good that Brother Neji could grow stronger!

As if there was some little secret, Hinata couldn't help but feel excited inside.

Buzz.

On the platform, Sasuke had basically completed his reconnaissance of Naruto. He directly activated his Lightning Release activation seal.

His entire body made crackling sounds. This was the second stage of the activation seal.

This was also something Sasuke had recently developed. Looking at Naruto's posture, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Sasuke's mouth.

Whoosh!

A figure too fast to see clearly attacked Naruto.

"Tch, Sasuke, you're cheating."

Naruto couldn't help but pout. While speaking, his hands quickly moved his fingers, releasing Wind Release ninjutsu toward where Sasuke was attacking.

In Naruto's perception, Sasuke's figure directly appeared.

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"

Several wind blades rushed forward rapidly. Sasuke moved forward, directly raising his palm covered in Lightning Release chakra to disperse them.

His activation seal not only improved his reaction speed but also enhanced his physical body to a certain extent.

Then he made several hand seals.

Hundreds, even thousands of bird cries exploded as Sasuke's left hand unleashed a splashing Chidori attack.

"Chidori!"

Armament Gauntlets!

(TL NOTE: Yang Release Armor will be just Armament unless stated otherwise.)

Naruto took a deep breath, and both hands were directly covered with a layer of dark gray substance.

He quickly grabbed Sasuke's Chidori with his hands, then looked up at Sasuke with a challenging gaze.

What met his eyes was a pair of crimson single-tomoe Sharingan. In an instant, Naruto felt his limbs becoming sluggish.

This is...?

Genjutsu! You brat! I won't allow my Jinchuriki to be defeated by the Sharingan!

Inside the Sealed Space, Kurama directly stood up and roared loudly.

No matter what, his Jinchuriki absolutely could not be defeated by the Sharingan again!

BOOM!

Naruto, under Sasuke's genjutsu, was directly penetrated by chakra throughout his body.

This directly forced back Sasuke, who had been about to defeat Naruto with one move.

Sasuke had originally thought he had successfully taken him down, but was startled by this turn of events. Using the force, he performed a beautiful flip to dodge.

He looked up at Naruto in disbelief. This loser!

He had instantly dispelled the genjutsu!

Naruto broke free from the genjutsu's restraints and breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring Kurama, who was still taunting him in the Sealed Space.

He turned to Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, you arrogant guy, what tricks are you playing!"

"Genjutsu is one of the three great ninjutsu. This is just one of my tactics."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and said disdainfully.

"Sasuke is correct, Naruto."

Sawada spoke from outside the platform, his gaze involuntarily looking toward Naruto's abdomen.

Has that tsundere Kurama finally decided to cooperate with Naruto?

For a while, Sawada hadn't paid special attention to Kurama.

After all, this kind of thing needed Naruto to do it himself.

Hearing Sawada say this, Naruto could only look helplessly at Sasuke and immediately formed hand seals again.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Naruto directly expelled a great wind formed by condensed Wind Release chakra, rapidly attacking Sasuke.

The range was so large that Sasuke had to abandon his idea of flanking from the side and could only helplessly retreat again.

Rumble!

The massive Wind Release directly struck the ground where Sasuke had been standing. The ground exploded, sending dust flying.

"So strong!" Neji couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This was no longer the strength that so-called Academy students should possess. Even ordinary chunin could be defeated by Naruto.

This guy!

Sasuke raised his hands to block the oncoming dust and strong wind, while his Sharingan continuously observed the surrounding environment.

According to Naruto's fighting style, he would definitely launch an attack from the surroundings at this time.

"Hey, bastard! Where do you think you're looking?"

Suddenly, a voice came from beneath Sasuke's feet, making his pupils contract sharply.

BOOM!

Naruto burst up from the ground, throwing a punch toward Sasuke's chin.

No! I can't lose like this!

Sasuke roared inwardly, desperately trying to make himself move. The red glow in his eyes gradually intensified.

Under enormous pressure, Sasuke's single-tomoe Sharingan directly split into another tomoe.

The crimson Sharingan evolved, its single tomoe spinning as a second tomoe materialized, transforming it into the more powerful two-tomoe form.
