Chapter 268
["If Naruto can keep winning, then let him be. Anyway, for ordinary ninjas like us, the world he dreams of is what we yearn for!"]
["No..." Sasuke closed his eyes and remembered the conditions for opening the Mangekyō that his brother had told him. When he opened his eyes again, he had already turned into a Sharingan: "It's not meaningless... To me, you are my... best friend..."]
["Best friend? Then why do you..." Naruto's expression was both confused and angry, but Sasuke did not give a reason and directly expressed his attitude: "That's why... That's why you are worth being killed by me."]
[Although it was very strange, from Sasuke's serious eyes, Naruto still saw his determination to kill him, but Naruto still didn't want to admit it. He shouted Sasuke's name to close the distance between the two, and Sasuke also rushed down from the stone statue and ran towards Naruto. 】
["Huh? Sasuke actually has the idea of killing Naruto to open the Mangekyō Sharingan. I thought he was resisting Itachi's arrangement from the beginning to the end!"]
["Isn't the condition for opening the Mangekyō Sharingan a bit idealistic? It can't be that the condition can be met as long as the other party is unilaterally acknowledged as a good friend? Then people who know Uchiha are in danger. If they are not careful, they will be sacrificed as materials for opening the eyes!"]
["When they have the idea of sacrificing friends to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, the word friend has been eliminated from their relationship! It should be impossible to succeed, otherwise there must be more than a few people who own the Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan!"]
["Naruto is confused. Who can think of killing friends to gain stronger power!"]
[The two people who were close to each other punched each other at the same time, and were blocked by each other's palms at the same time. However, as mentioned earlier, Naruto at this time was far behind Sasuke in physical skills. Except for the fact that he might be a little stronger than Sasuke, he was at a disadvantage in other aspects. 】
【Sasuke can even pull out a kunai from Naruto's ninja tool bag to attack him. After a brief fight, Naruto has no choice but to leave the mountain wall and return to the water surface, pulling away to prepare for a second round of attack. 】
【Sasuke, who stayed on the mountain wall, looked eager to try: "You said before that you are actually looking forward to our battle, right? Without Kakashi and Sakura, the interruption like last time will not happen again." 】
["Why doesn't Naruto use the shadow clone? What are you thinking!"]
["The gap is too big in the normal state. Before, Sasuke was not an opponent without opening the Sharingan, let alone now!"]
["I think there is a sure-win plan for Naruto and Sasuke's battle. Whether it is multiple shadow clones of 2,000 people or directly summoning a giant toad, it is not something Sasuke can deal with now, even if he has a deeper understanding of the curse seal!"]
["Multiple shadow clones are easy to say, but the huge summoning beast is... Not so good... Ninja beasts of that size are either used to deal with ninja beasts of the same size or to deal with large-scale armies. They have little effect on a single individual. If you can't win, can't you just run away! "]
["That move of multiple shadow clones is one of Naruto's trump cards. Although I don't know how much chakra it consumes, even if Naruto is from the Uzumaki clan, he can't ignore it. If it doesn't succeed after using it, Naruto will most likely fall down directly!"]
["Again, if Sasuke can't win, just run away. Generally, the way to deal with high-cost moves is to delay time. If you delay, you win!"]
["I'll say it again, I'm going to kill you!" As he said that, Sasuke jumped to the waterfall and slid down the water, sprinting while making hand seals to perform Chidori. Seeing him coming up with a killing move, Naruto also rolled out a Rasengan and yelled, "Asshole! I will beat you up too! Even if I have to drag you, I will drag you back!"]
[Sasuke fell into the water and rushed towards Naruto at a very fast speed with the help of gravity. Naruto also rushed out at a speed not inferior to Sasuke under the swing of his shadow clone. This time, no one stopped their attack. The Rasengan and Chidori collided fiercely, and the spreading shock wave broke the water surface and knocked the two out together. ]
["When the strength is similar or even slightly inferior, the mentality between each other is very important. One wants to kill the other, and the other just wants to knock the other down. It's not surprising that Naruto lost here!"]
["That's what I said, but in fact, Naruto's attack is not much worse than Sasuke's. He can't be using his own strength as a standard. Don't accidentally kill Sasuke in return!"][“They are evenly matched. I thought the Rasengan would be better!”]
[‘Damn it! It was able to block my full-strength Chidori, that jutsu...’ Sasuke climbed out of the water in a panic, and once again recalled the unbearable past on the rooftop, with a face full of resentment: ‘That loser...’]
[Naruto did not move, lying flat and letting the buoyancy lift his body to the surface of the water. He looked sad and turned his head to look at Sasuke: ‘It seems to be true...’]
[“You really...really want to kill me...” Naruto turned sideways and climbed up half-kneeling on the water, even crying in his voice: ‘Sasuke...’]
[Compared to Naruto who was worried, Sasuke who was completely immersed in the battle was already thinking about the next countermeasure. He knew that his chakra could not compare with Naruto, so he planned to create a flaw through a quick and fierce attack, and then use Chidori to deliver a fatal blow. 】
["How much does Sasuke not want Naruto to surpass him? He gets upset when they are just tied!"]
["He is so proud and arrogant for no reason. According to his thinking, if he wants to become an Avenger, he should just care about the difference between his own strength and Itachi's. Why does he have to compare himself with others!"]
["Is he targeting Naruto a bit too much? Is it really because of his ranking in school that he cannot accept Naruto's strength?"]
["Naruto's poor grades are probably due to his academic performance. How can it be related to practical combat!"]
["Sorry, you guessed wrong. This guy's grades are not good in both academic and practical courses. Even in practical courses, he loses more than he wins. He is definitely the poorest!"]
["Well, there are indeed such examples. They were originally mediocre, but suddenly soared to the sky at a certain key point. Naruto should be one of them!"]
