91-95

Chapter 91: Ninety-Nine Shadow Clones!

The Flying Thunder God Technique was already imprinted in Sasuke's mind. From the perspective of the complete casting process, it could be divided into three steps.

*First step:* Inscribe the Flying Thunder God Formula.

*Second step:* Place the Flying Thunder God Formula in a suitable location.

*Third step:* Use the Space-Time Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God to reach the location of the Flying Thunder God Formula.

Of course, these three steps summarized by Sasuke were only the necessary procedures, but not entirely for on-site preparation.

For example, the first step, inscribing the Flying Thunder God Formula.

Because the Flying Thunder God Formula contained Space-Time seals, inscribing it consumed a large amount of chakra. It wasn't a particularly good choice to inscribe it on the spot during battle.

However, this wasn't a big deal for Sasuke, who was like a living Edo Tensei.

But there was still a time cost. He had to prepare some kunai and inscribe the Flying Thunder God Formula on them, making them Flying Thunder God dedicated kunai with the formula.

The second step was simply to throw the Flying Thunder God kunai. This step wasn't completely necessary, as the Flying Thunder God Formula could be placed in certain locations in advance.

The most important was the third step.

Without the third step, the previous steps were all in vain!

"I must learn to inscribe the Flying Thunder God Formula tonight!"

With determination flashing in his eyes, Sasuke formed hand seals and immediately used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Ten Sasukes instantly appeared in the room.

Including Sasuke's main body, each Sasuke pressed a hand on the ground, focusing chakra in their palms, and gradually inscribing the Flying Thunder God Formula.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Every time Sasuke's palm slapped the ground, an incomplete formula was left behind. This casting process was somewhat similar to the Summoning Technique.

In fact, the Summoning Technique and the Flying Thunder God Technique had similarities. The caster of the Summoning Technique could be regarded as the Flying Thunder God Formula.

This way, the caster could freely move to any location to use the Summoning Technique and summon the summoned beast.

The contractual summoning of the Summoning Technique was the crucial third step in completing the Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Of course, the Summoning Technique was much simpler than the Flying Thunder God Technique. The main reason was that the established blood contract completed the most difficult part of Space-Time teleportation. The caster only needed to focus on inscribing the seal of the Summoning Technique.

Time passed minute by minute.

Soon, the chakra of Sasuke's main body and the other nine shadow clones was exhausted.

"Ding ding!"

The sound symbolizing learning rang in Sasuke's mind. Now, this sound was not only a notification of increased points, but also a reminder to add points.

Whenever the ding-ding sound rang, it meant either his stamina was exhausted and the system automatically added 1 point to his Strength attribute, or his spirit and chakra were exhausted and the system automatically added 1 point to his Spirit attribute.

Since he hadn't been doing physical training at this time, his stamina wasn't consumed as quickly, and most of the consumption came from chakra.

Add points!

Sasuke hurriedly added 1 attribute point to his Spirit attribute, instantly restoring his chakra.

"It's still a bit difficult for me to inscribe the Flying Thunder God Formula now. It might be related to my Ninjutsu attribute rating being B. The Flying Thunder God Technique is an S-rank Space-Time Ninjutsu. Perhaps it would be easier to learn when my Ninjutsu attribute reaches A-rank!"

Sasuke clearly understood what he lacked, but he didn't regret adding points to Strength. Those points had also brought him great returns from Ebisu.

"Continue!"

"I don't believe it!"

"I have this cheat that allows me to constantly add points and recover!"

"Even if my Ninjutsu attribute is B-rank, I can still learn the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Sasuke's eyes became particularly determined. He knew very well that a top-tier Space-Time Ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique had very high talent requirements, which could be seen from the number of ninjas who mastered it and their names.

But he didn't believe in fate!

He believed that with this cheat, being able to Training non-stop, he could learn it!

Immediately, Sasuke formed hand seals, and nine shadow clones appeared beside him again, continuing to inscribe the Flying Thunder God Formula on the ground.

As time passed...

Unknowingly, two hours had passed, and Konoha Village was completely enveloped in night.

The Uchiha clan's area was especially quiet at night, and the chirping of crickets outside could be clearly heard. On this silent night, those with weaker hearts might find it difficult to fall asleep.

During this time, Sasuke had been practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even though he hadn't deliberately exercised his body, because of the weights on him, he would exhaust his stamina almost every half hour.

"Ding ding!"

With another sound symbolizing learning, the other nine shadow clones disappeared.

Instantly, the experience in Sasuke's consciousness increased again. He felt like he had vaguely glimpsed something, but it was still blurry and unclear.

Continue.

Sasuke opened the system panel.

Current system points: 105 points.

Add points.

Sasuke immediately added one point to his Spirit attribute.

Buzz!

Instantly, a cool feeling spread through Sasuke's body, and he felt extremely clear-headed and comfortable.

"This is..."

Disbelief filled Sasuke's eyes. He had added points to his Spirit attribute many times during this period, and each time there was a slight coolness, but none as strong as this time.

"What's going on?"

Sasuke focused on his Spirit attribute and was surprised by what he saw.

Spirit attribute: Rating B: (1/500)

With the continuous consumption and addition of chakra during this time, he had unknowingly raised the progress to 100%. After adding 1 point, it directly leveled up.

"My Spirit attribute has reached B-rank!"

Overjoyed, Sasuke then carefully felt the chakra in his body and immediately discovered that the quality of his chakra had transformed!

Thick!

Vast!

This was how Sasuke felt now!

The total amount of this chakra might be insignificant compared to Naruto's, but it was definitely at the upper-middle level of Chunin, and even some Jonin might not be able to match him.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Without hesitation, Sasuke immediately formed hand seals, using the maximum number of shadow clones he could control. In an instant, Sasukes appeared in the room one after another.

Ninety-nine shadow clones!

Counting Sasuke's main body, there were a total of one hundred Sasukes. Not only was the room full, but they even extended to the entrance hall.

"My total chakra amount has increased tenfold!"

Sasuke took a deep breath. After dividing his chakra equally into one hundred portions, the amount of chakra contained in each shadow clone now was the same as when he had divided it into ten portions before.

"This is so comfortable!"

Sasuke was delighted. He was already starting to imagine what it would be like when his Spirit attribute reached A-rank!

"Everyone, go to the streets and alleys outside to Training. We must master the Flying Thunder God tonight. I don't want to delay any longer!"

(End of chapter)

Chapter 92: Flying Thunder God Technique!

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking.

In an instant.

Ninety-nine shadow clones rushed out of the house and onto the streets in front of Sasuke's house.

Each shadow clone found a suitable position, reaching out and slapping the ground, practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

The momentum generated in an instant was immense!

Sasuke's main body watched the ninety-nine shadow clones carve the Flying Thunder God Technique formula over and over again, with great satisfaction in his heart. The current cultivation speed was ten times faster than before.

Cultivating for one night now is equivalent to ten nights before!

"Come on!"

Sasuke's main body also began to carve the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on the ground.

For a time.

Throughout the streets of the Uchiha clan, all you could see were Sasukes, each Sasuke slapping the ground with one hand.

"Ding ding!"

Soon.

A sound symbolizing learning rang in Sasuke's mind, his spirit attribute increased by 1 point, and it also told him that it was time to restore his energy.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

Continuous explosions sounded, and the chakra of each shadow clone was used to the limit, and Sasuke's consciousness increased by ninety-nine times the experience of cultivation.

"Carving the Flying Thunder God Technique formula is much more difficult than studying the Flying Thunder God!"

Sasuke sighed deeply. When his shadow clones were studying the Flying Thunder God Technique, they could last for about 20 minutes, but when carving the Flying Thunder God Technique formula, it only took 5 minutes for the chakra to be consumed.

Add points.

Sasuke did not hesitate to open the system to add points.

Add 1 point to the spirit attribute.

Om!

Suddenly.

Sasuke felt a coolness all over his body, his whole body refreshed, the consumed chakra instantly recovered, and his whole body reached a very good state.

"Now my physical strength is still enough. At this speed, I need to add 4 points of spirit attribute and 1 point of physical attribute."

Sasuke calculated silently in his heart.

Although he did not practice physical skills, because he was wearing weights, even in a static state, it was a kind of exercise that consumed physical strength.

After adding some points, Sasuke used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique again.

Ninety-nine shadow clones reappeared on the streets of the Uchiha clan, continuing their ground-slapping performance art.

If the third generation peeked through the crystal ball at this time, he would definitely be very shocked, and would not understand what Sasuke was doing at all.

Time is like fine sand in the palm of your hand, always slipping away inadvertently, only the bright moonlight and the silent streets witness Sasuke's efforts all night!

Gradually.

It's almost dawn.

Although the scorching sun has not yet risen, the sky has gradually brightened.

"Successful!"

Suddenly.

A shadow clone yelled, he raised his seal-like palm, and the two Chinese characters "starting point" were engraved on the ground by him, and contained a faint spatial fluctuation, which had an inexplicable connection with each Sasuke.

Flying Thunder God Technique Formula!

Successful!

Sasuke's main body's eyes lit up.

Suddenly.

The ninety-nine shadow clones fully understood the meaning of the main body, and they formed seals to release the shadow clone technique.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

With a burst of explosions, the ninety-nine shadow clones disappeared instantly.

Sasuke slowly closed his eyes.

He could clearly feel the experience flowing into his mind, the most important thing was the experience of success.

Add points to spirit attribute.

Om!

Sasuke's whole body was filled with coolness again, and the chakra in his body returned to its peak state.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Sasuke formed seals with both hands, and ninety-nine shadow clones reappeared beside him. These shadow clones were different from the previous shadow clones. Everyone had the experience of successfully depicting the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

"Start!"

Sasuke said firmly, after finishing speaking, he himself began to slap the ground with one hand, gathering chakra in his palm, and depicting the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

Om!

The moment Sasuke's palm touched the ground, the two words "starting point" suddenly appeared, and contained a strange magic power, emitting a faint spatial fluctuation.

Successful!

Sasuke felt as if his chakra had been drained, after all, it was only one percent of his chakra now, and the consumption of the Flying Thunder God mark was very high.

Almost one more can be drawn!

Sasuke slapped the ground again, and so did the ninety-nine shadow clones.

Buzz buzz...

instantly.

On the ground at the gate of Uchiha, the two words "starting point" appeared all over the place. These words, which implied spatial fluctuations, quickly disappeared, but the coordinates had already been recorded.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

With bursts of explosions, these shadow clones had been exhausted to the limit and could no longer be maintained. They turned into experience and returned to Sasuke.

"The first step is complete!"

Sasuke's eyes flickered with ecstasy, as long as the first step is completed, it is equivalent to half completed.

Let's talk about the throwing in the second step later.

Now proceed directly to the third step.

Jump to the spatial coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique formula by using the space-time ninjutsu Flying Thunder God.

Sasuke immediately added points to his spirit attribute.

The next moment.

Sasuke once again used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and ninety-nine shadow clones appeared on the streets at the gate of the Uchiha clan, and began to practice quickly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Shadow clones began to jump towards the coordinate space of the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bursts of explosions sounded, and after Sasuke's shadow clone used the Flying Thunder God Technique, all the chakra was instantly drained, and the figure only flickered for a moment, then reappeared in place, and finally disappeared.

Ninety-nine shadow clones disappeared instantly.

"Ding ding!"

The sound of learning sounded in Sasuke's mind, and all the chakra was consumed in an instant.

"So that's how it is!"

Sasuke's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Not enough chakra!

The space jump of the Flying Thunder God Technique requires a certain amount of chakra.

That's right!

It must be so!

Sasuke thought that when Shiranui Genma and the others used the Flying Thunder God Technique, they had to work together with three people, and there was no way to use it alone.

So.

A shadow clone with one percent chakra must not be able to fully perform the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Now try to cast the Flying Thunder God Technique directly.

Sasuke opened the system panel again, added 1 point to the spirit attribute, and after a burst of coolness, the chakra returned to its peak state.

Then add 1 point of physical attribute.

Sasuke directly brought himself to the best condition.

Immediately following.

Sasuke took a deep breath, feeling the Flying Thunder God mark not far away, controlling the chakra in his body, and looking for the connection with that wisp of spatial fluctuation.

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

Sasuke's figure disappeared.

Just for a moment.

Sasuke appeared on a Flying Thunder God Technique formula, his heart filled with unreality. This feeling of instant changes in the scene before his eyes had only been seen in movies and games before.

Teleportation!

"Ding dong!"

At this moment, Ding Dong brought his benefits!

"Congratulations to the host for learning [Flying Thunder God Technique]!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 93: The Third Hokage's Decision!

"Here it comes!"

Sasuke couldn't help but grin. He had finally been acknowledged by the Ding Dong system.

He had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

All that remained was to buy that experience pack in the remaining time this month and max out the Flying Thunder God.

Just now, using the Flying Thunder God consumed almost half of Sasuke's chakra. Even with his current B-rank spirit attribute, it was a bit much. No wonder it was so difficult for others to learn.

"Try again!"

With a thought, Sasuke instantly established a connection with a Flying Thunder God formula on the ground, and spatial fluctuations rippled through his body.

Whoosh!

Sasuke's figure instantly moved, and the chakra in his body felt as if it had been drained, leaving him in a weakened state.

"Ding Ding!"

The notification sound rang in Sasuke's mind, indicating that he needed to add more points.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique really consumes a lot of chakra. As the distance and the size of the object being transported increase, so does the chakra consumption!"

"The Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage are truly amazing. They can use the Flying Thunder God Guide Thunder to divert things like Tailed Beast Balls!"

"Their chakra must have reached S-rank!"

Sasuke took a deep breath, calming the astonishment in his heart. Just through the Flying Thunder God Technique alone, he could glimpse the strength of these two Hokage.

He opened the system panel.

Current system points: 83 points.

Immediately, Sasuke opened the [Attributes] list and added 1 point to his spirit attribute.

Spirit attribute: Rank B: (37/500)

Next, Sasuke took out another point, preparing to add it to his physique attribute, but his eyes widened in surprise.

Physique attribute: Rank C: (300/300)

His current physique attribute was exactly at 100%.

Add points.

Ding!

Sasuke's whole body emitted steaming hot air, and his skin turned red, as if it had been scorched.

Physique attribute: Rank B: (1/500)

In this instant, Sasuke felt a dramatic change in his physique. Carrying the weights on his back no longer felt as tiring.

His physical quality had undergone a transformation!

He had become stronger!

Truly stronger!

Now all four of his attributes had reached B-rank!

Sasuke began to have confidence in his own strength.

"Now that I've learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, besides the necessary points for cultivation, I won't add any more points for now. I need to quickly accumulate 350 points to exchange for an experience pack!"

Sasuke made his current decision. He looked up at the sky, watching the rising sun illuminate the horizon.

A new day had arrived!

Sasuke couldn't wait to find Ebisu to replenish his system points!

...

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood at his desk, calmly puffing on his pipe. A ninja knelt before him, wearing a mask with a special pattern. It was an Anbu ninja from Konoha village.

"Cough... Cough, cough..." The Anbu ninja started coughing violently, seemingly unable to catch his breath.

"Hayate, take off your mask," the Third Hokage said with concern.

"Yes." The Anbu ninja removed his mask, revealing a pale and weak face. It was Hayate Gekko.

"Hayate, tell me, what's going on with Iwagakure?" the Third Hokage asked in a deep voice. His tone seemed to suppress anger. The intelligence reports from the past few days had left him dissatisfied.

"Cough, these days, ninjas from Iwagakure in the Land of Earth have been constantly invading the border of the Land of Fire. Cough, cough, recently they've become even more brazen. Cough, Asuma Sarutobi and Kakashi Hatake can only stay at the border and can't be spared to come back. Cough," Hayate Gekko reported with effort.

"No, we can't continue to be consumed like this. Has Iwagakure made any demands?" the Third Hokage shook his head and said.

"Cough, cough, cough, the Iwa ninjas said they want the Land of Fire to agree to hand over one-fifth of the commissioned missions to them. Cough, cough, cough, and they demand that Konoha ninjas not interfere with their actions at the border!" Hayate Gekko said with a frown.

"Humph!" The Third Hokage snorted coldly, picked up his pipe, turned and paced towards the window, saying coldly, "Iwagakure has really become more and more outrageous these years!"

"Saru, cough, Asuma-sama's suggestion is to request ninja reinforcements and have a major battle with the Iwa ninjas to dampen their spirits. Cough!" Hayate Gekko slightly raised his head, conveying Asuma's words.

"No!" The Third Hokage shook his head, rejecting the suggestion without hesitation. He said in a low voice, "The Land of Earth is powerful. We cannot easily have friction with them. Once a war starts, it will inevitably cause countless casualties and losses. This matter needs careful consideration."

"Cough, cough, cough, Third Hokage-sama, Iwagakure wants our commissioned missions!" Hayate Gekko's voice was slightly anxious, but he quickly realized his gaffe and hurriedly lowered his head.

"If handing over some commissioned missions to Iwagakure can avoid a war, then it's still worth considering. Sometimes necessary sacrifices are unavoidable!" The Third Hokage put the pipe back in his mouth and said, "However, we can't just give them one-fifth because they demand it. It's too easy that way. We still need to negotiate."

"Yes." Hayate Gekko responded, no longer daring to express his own opinions.

"At this time, which Jonin are still in the village?" the Third Hokage asked.

"Might Guy's team just returned to Konoha yesterday and has no missions at the moment. They can be sent to deliver the intelligence." Hayate Gekko said.

"Then let Guy go. Go inform Team Guy and have them come to my office!" the Third Hokage ordered.

"Yes!" Hayate Gekko responded and prepared to leave.

"Wait." The Third Hokage stopped Hayate Gekko.

"Third Hokage-sama, do you have any other instructions?" Hayate Gekko asked.

"After informing Team Guy, go inform Ebisu and Uchiha Sasuke. Have Uchiha Sasuke join Team Guy in this intelligence delivery mission. Ebisu doesn't need to go." the Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

"Isn't Uchiha Sasuke a Genin who just graduated? Is he going to carry out such a mission now?" Hayate Gekko's eyes were filled with confusion. He continued, "Third Hokage-sama, this intelligence delivery mission seems simple, but it's very risky. It involves direct contact with the border war zone. According to the rating, it's at least a B-rank mission. Sasuke doesn't even have a Jonin leader, and he's directly joining Team Guy to carry out such a mission. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Sasuke is a genius. A genius needs to be tempered. This matter is settled. Just go and inform them!" The Third Hokage waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Yes." Hayate Gekko's figure flashed and disappeared.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, paced towards the window of the Hokage's office, looking towards the Hokage Rock outside.

The faces of the past Hokage came into view.

"I absolutely cannot let anything happen to the village!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sighed, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Sasuke."

"If you can come back alive from this mission, then so be it!"

"But if you die at the hands of the Iwa ninjas, then don't blame me for this hatred. Go settle the score with Iwagakure!!"

(End of chapter)

Chapter 94: Sasuke and Team Guy

Sasuke headed towards the small woods where he had agreed to meet Ebisu.

Half an hour later.

When Sasuke arrived at the woods, Ebisu hadn't arrived yet. The woods were empty.

"Ebisu-sensei is even later than Kakashi!"

Sasuke couldn't help but complain. Waiting for two days in a row wasn't a pleasant experience!

He couldn't waste time waiting.

Sasuke took out a jump rope and started exercising. Besides training, there was nothing else to do at the moment.

He had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Using shadow clones was meaningless now.

All he could do was physical training.

Sasuke jumped rope rapidly. Due to the weights he wore, his stamina consumption was enormous, and soon a "ding ding" sound rang out.

Add points.

Restore stamina.

Continue jumping rope.

Ding ding again.

Add points again.

Restore stamina and jump rope again.

......

Sasuke felt like he had been training all morning. The weighted jump rope helped improve his stamina, strength, and speed attributes.

Of course.

He also consumed a lot of points.

"Whew!"

Sasuke let out a soft breath. He added another point to his stamina attribute, and his current system points dropped to 70.

"What's going on with Ebisu-sensei?"

Sasuke's lips twitched slightly. He wanted to earn system points, but now he was consuming more and more. If this continued, he wouldn't have many points left.

Swoosh!

However.

Just then.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke. He wore a Konoha ninja headband and had a pale face, looking very weak.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

Hayate Gekko's indifferent voice sounded. After smoothly finishing this sentence, he still couldn't help but cough a few times.

"The Third Hokage's order, cough cough cough, from today onwards, you will follow Jonin Might Guy and the members of Team Guy to the Land of Fire border to deliver intelligence. The mission level is B-rank."

Hayate Gekko very seriously conveyed the Third Hokage's meaning. He didn't understand the Third Hokage's thoughts, but just felt that this was a test for a genius.

"Let me carry out a B-rank mission?"

Sasuke immediately realized that something was wrong.

In the original story, Team Kakashi initially performed D-rank missions before being given the nominally C-rank Land of Waves mission.

Now, just one day after graduation, he was given a B-rank mission!

This was a bit reckless!

"Cough, that's right. This is a training opportunity given to you by the Third Hokage. Now I'll take you to report to Team Guy." Hayate Gekko said slowly.

"What about Ebisu-sensei?" Sasuke asked indifferently.

"This mission does not include Ebisu." Hayate Gekko shook his head.

"I understand."

Sasuke didn't say anything more. This mission seemed to have some problems, but since he was to follow Team Guy, it wasn't a big deal.

At least there was a man in the team who could do a one-for-one trade at the limit.

That was quite reliable!

"Cough, come with me."

Hayate Gekko turned and led Sasuke towards the other side of the woods.

"Wait a minute!"

Sasuke immediately stopped Hayate Gekko. He had finally seen someone, how could he just leave like this?

Leave some points before you go!

"You just told me so much, why should I believe you? Do you have any proof?" Sasuke said lightly, with no expression on his face.

+5

Suddenly.

The numbers in front of Sasuke jumped.

Not much of an increase.

Within a normal range.

Sure enough, he couldn't expect everyone to be like Ebisu, contributing such a large amount of points to the system.

"Proof?"

Hayate Gekko looked up at Sasuke. He looked very weak, as if he hadn't slept in days. Judging from his appearance alone, it was indeed difficult to gain the trust of strangers.

"I can't just believe everything you say, right!" Sasuke sneered. He knew Hayate Gekko's identity, but now he had to pretend he didn't know and use every opportunity to act cool.

+6

The system points that jumped in front of Sasuke showed an increasing trend.

Without Ebisu, the system returned to normal.

Sasuke looked at these single-digit new points and was a little unaccustomed to it. It felt like it was neither itchy nor painful.

Ebisu was still the best!

"Uchiha Sasuke, my name is Hayate Gekko, and I am a Special Jonin of the Konoha Anbu. Do you think I would lie to you? Cough cough cough." Hayate Gekko's voice revealed a trace of anger. This kind of questioning was simply unreasonable.

"If you don't show some proof, how do I know if you're lying to me or not?"

Sasuke retorted, looking like a scoundrel who wouldn't believe you without evidence.

+7

The numbers in front of Sasuke jumped, showing an increasing trend. If Ebisu were here, he could completely let Hayate Gekko go.

But not now.

Even mosquito legs were meat!

He was short of points now, very short, urgently short, he needed to buy experience packs.

"Sasuke, cough cough cough, don't go too far, believe it or not, I'll tie you up and take you there?" Hayate Gekko's face became a bit ugly. Since he entered the Anbu, this was the first time he had encountered obstacles in conveying the Third Hokage's orders.

"Forget it, I'll believe you this time." Sasuke waved his hand. This Hayate Gekko was quite impulsive, and he didn't want to be subjected to violence.

"Humph!" Hayate Gekko snorted coldly. Because of Sasuke's arrogance, his first impression of Sasuke was not good. He said coldly, "Cough, follow me."

"Hmm."

Sasuke responded and stopped bullying Hayate Gekko. Getting these points was better than nothing.

Following behind Hayate Gekko.

Sasuke opened the system panel.

Current system points: 88 points.

Alright.

Quite lucky!

......

Ten minutes later.

The two arrived at another clearing.

Four people were waiting in the clearing.

Among them, two green figures, one big and one small, were gesticulating.

These two were Might Guy and Rock Lee.

Not far from the two stood a quiet girl with a bun, who was looking at the two with a helpless expression. It was Tenten from Team Guy.

The last one was the quiet and handsome Neji. He was sitting on a tree stump, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Hayate Gekko and Sasuke appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the four members of Team Guy.

"Cough, cough, Guy, I've brought Sasuke here. The rest is up to you."

Hayate Gekko formed hand seals, and his figure instantly disappeared. Because of Sasuke, he didn't want to stay a moment longer.

In the woods.

Only the five people from Team Guy and Sasuke remained.

The four members of Team Guy all looked at Sasuke, each with different emotions in their eyes.

Meeting Sasuke again.

For Guy, the last time they met was at Ichiraku Ramen, and the process wasn't very pleasant.

For the others in Team Guy, they had met Sasuke more than twice.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

Suddenly, the quiet Neji stood up, with a proud expression on his face. In an instant, the veins on the corners of his eyes bulged, and sharp pupils appeared in his white eyes.

"Congratulations on becoming Genin!"

(End of chapter)

Chapter 95: Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Neji's voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet woods, it was particularly clear, reaching everyone's ears.

Swoosh!

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Neji.

Everyone's expression changed subtly.

The members of Team Guy had all experienced the Ichiraku Ramen incident and knew how much Neji had been stimulated by the "puppy leash" comment.

These days, Neji had been thinking about Sasuke, almost to the point of obsession, counting down the days until Sasuke's graduation.

Finally, after returning to Konoha yesterday, he learned that Sasuke had graduated early and become a Genin.

Neji couldn't sit still any longer.

Now that he knew Sasuke was going on a mission with Team Guy, he felt it was a godsend.

Lee looked at the scene in front of him, his breathing becoming rapid.

This was a clash of geniuses!

Uchiha Sasuke VS Hyuga Neji!

This was so exciting!

This was the burning passion of youth!

Lee's eyes widened, not wanting to miss a single detail, like a spectator who wasn't afraid of things getting bigger.

There was nothing to worry about.

Lee didn't know who to worry about between these two.

Both were freaks!

Tenten's face was gloomy. Her thoughts were the opposite of Lee's; she was worried about both of them.

She was afraid that Neji would beat up Sasuke, and also afraid that Sasuke would beat up Neji. What she wanted to do most now was to run between the two and stop what was about to happen.

But...

Tenten had no reason to!

She had no reason to stand in front of Sasuke and block Neji, nor did she have a reason to stand in front of Neji and block Sasuke. She could only helplessly be a spectator.

Guy's expression was a bit odd. He wanted to stop them, but then he thought that Neji was his student, and that matters between juniors should be resolved by the juniors themselves.

However...

Now was not the time. After all, they were about to go on a mission, and unity within the team was essential.

"Um, Neji, we're about to go on a mission."

Guy hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up to dissuade him. He didn't want to ruin the team atmosphere before the mission.

"Guy-sensei, this is just an intelligence delivery mission. Our team can fully execute it independently. Bringing along a newly graduated dead-last Genin, wouldn't we have to take care of his safety?" Neji maintained his Byakugan posture, a sneer curling his lips, his words filled with mockery.

"Neji, don't talk nonsense. This is arranged by the Third Hokage. Sasuke is our teammate now!" Guy said in a deep voice.

"Even if we have to bring a dead-last, I need to know what kind of strength this dead-last has, so I can protect him on the way!" Neji's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. His hatred for Sasuke had reached a certain level.

"Neji, do you have to settle that duel at this time?" Guy knew what Neji meant. There weren't that many reasons; he simply wanted to teach Sasuke a lesson.

"Yes, Guy-sensei. I'll be careful not to hurt him." Neji said firmly.

"You..." Guy didn't expect Neji to be so stubborn at this time. In his impression, Neji had never been so out of control, even when encountering members of the main family.

"Hey."

However, at this moment, a slightly cold voice sounded, echoing through the woods, drawing everyone's attention to the other party involved.

For a moment, everyone looked at Sasuke.

"Neji, do you think you'll win?"

Sasuke's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. His handsome face suddenly took on a somewhat demonic look, giving people a sense of youthful arrogance.

+5

Suddenly, the numbers in front of Sasuke's eyes jumped. His rhetorical question was considered by the system as showing off, increasing his system points.

"Hahahaha, Sasuke, don't worry, I know you're afraid of pain, I'll be gentle!"

Neji laughed wildly. His Byakugan had already seen through Sasuke's clothes, clearly seeing the latter's entire meridian system, and Sasuke was already within his Eight Trigrams Formation.

As long as he sealed Sasuke's entire meridian system...

Then Sasuke would be a lamb to the slaughter, completely unable to fight back. This way, he could avenge his past humiliation and the Ichiraku Ramen incident.

The more Neji thought about it, the more comfortable he felt. He couldn't wait to beat Sasuke down and mocking him.

"Hey! Neji!"

Sasuke's indifferent voice interrupted Neji's fantasy. His dark pupils stared into Sasuke's eyes, and he said faintly, "Your eyes are truly ferocious, yet reveal incompetence!"

+10

Neji's expression instantly became distorted. He stared fiercely at Sasuke, clearly staring at all the chakra meridians in Sasuke's body.

"Sasuke, you've crossed my bottom line again and again. I'm going to teach you a lesson. Now you're within my Eight Trigrams Palms' range."

As Neji spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, and an invisible Eight Trigrams Formation appeared at his feet.

This formation enveloped Sasuke within it.

The next moment...

Neji raised his left foot forward, his upper body leaning slightly forward. He extended his left hand forward, gently touching his toes, and raised his right hand backward, palm facing upward, striking a strange pose.

Instantly, everyone noticed Neji's posture.

The smile on Lee's face suddenly disappeared, his expression becoming serious. He understood what move would follow after Neji struck this starting stance.

He had been hit by this move during a team spar, and it was extremely disgusting.

Tenten became even more nervous. Now she was completely nervous for Sasuke. She knew Sasuke was a genius and very strong, but she still didn't think Sasuke could withstand Neji's attack.

Guy took a deep breath. He frowned as he watched everything in front of him, realizing that things were already out of control. But he couldn't completely dissuade the two from fighting, so he had to pay attention, ready to stop Neji at any time and save Sasuke.

The moment Neji took the Eight Trigrams Palms stance, everyone in Team Guy no longer favored Sasuke.

It seemed that the outcome of this fight was no longer in suspense!

The only thing to pay attention to was how to save Sasuke without hurting Neji's self-esteem and minimize the losses for both sides.

However...

As the person involved...

Sasuke just stood there quietly, calmly watching Neji who had taken the Eight Trigrams Palms starting stance. There was no panic on his face, as if he was a spectator in a close-range VIP seat.

At this moment...

Neji suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp Byakugan seeming to want to see through everything in front of him.

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Neji's low voice sounded in the woods, containing a suppressed momentum, giving people a sense of calm before the storm.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Neji's ankle exerted force, and his whole body shot out, instantly rushing in front of Sasuke. He thrust out his palms, his sharp fingertips containing extremely precise chakra. His arms carried layers of afterimages as they poked towards Sasuke's body.
