Uchiha Clan training grounds.
Yamato, carrying a spiked club, stood casually opposite Sasuke.
Sasuke, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Yamato and spoke.
"I'm going to go!"
Yamato then lowered his spiked club and said with a smile,
"Bring it on!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke had already appeared in front of Yamato using the Body Flicker Technique, but the speed of the Body Flicker Technique was simply not enough against a monster like Yamato.
Yamato didn't even use his spiked club; he simply slapped Sasuke across the face.
Despite Sasuke's Sharingan spinning wildly, he still couldn't dodge the simple, unadorned slap.
From a distance, Sasuke was swatted away by Yamato like a fly, crashing heavily into the wall of the training ground.
Actually, Yamato was holding back. If she had used her full strength, it wouldn't have been impossible for Sasuke to be turned into a bloody mist on the spot.
Even so, it took Sasuke quite a while to climb out of the wall. He looked unsteady and was clearly badly injured.
Naruto and Black Zetsu arrived just then. Seeing Sasuke's miserable state, Naruto immediately cried out in concern for Sasuke.
Sasuke, however, didn't seem to care about Naruto; he was still in a daze.
Yamato's reaction speed and strength were simply too exaggerated; he even suspected that Yamato had learned Tsunade's superhuman strength.
Of course, even if Tsunade herself came, she would be sent flying Yamato Yamato's slap.
Sasuke realized from what he'd just witnessed that his Taijutsu was nowhere near Yamato's level, so he temporarily abandoned his Taijutsu attacks and began Hand Seals instead.
Yamato watched Sasuke's frantic gesturing with a curious expression until a huge fireball shot out of Sasuke's mouth.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Huh? You can use the power of fire? But isn't this fireball a bit too small?"
Yamato stood still, took a deep breath and exhaled, extinguishing the fireball in mid-air.
This scene nearly made Sasuke's jaw drop.
A few wisps of embers still flickered at the corners of his mouth as he stared blankly at Yamato, muttering to himself.
"Are you... a monster?"
These words displeased Yamato, and she shouted,
"Hey! How can you be so rude! How can you talk like that?"
"Glug."
Sasuke swallowed hard, and Naruto from the sidelines, did the same.
Both of them were deeply shocked by the strength Yamato displayed. Naruto muttered to himself,
"She's incredibly strong. To be able to beat Sasuke like this with just Taijutsu, I wonder how far her Ninjutsu can go!"
Seeing Yamato Kamui on the field, Black Zetsu was filled with pride. She raised her black face and said smugly,
"That's right, don't you know whose disciple she is? I told you before, if you hadn't kept an eye on her, Sasuke might have been accidentally killed by Yamato!"
Naruto nodded stiffly. Yamato Yamato's physical strength, even if he were in his Tailed Beast Transformation, taking that hit would be enough to give him a hard time.
On the field, Sasuke stared intently at Yamato; he had already activated his Genjutsu.
However, Yamato was only slightly dazed, and Sasuke's Genjutsu had virtually no effect.
Sasuke was completely dumbfounded; he couldn't understand why his Genjutsu was so ineffective on Yamato.
The reason is actually quite simple: Yamato has absolutely no Chakra. So even if it were the Genjutsu master Itachi, it would be useless against him.
Seeing that the Genjutsu was not working, Sasuke suddenly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his fair chest underneath.
Sasuke Yamato pursed her lips. In her eyes, Sasuke was a true "dog," and she naturally wouldn't swoon over this scene like many of the young girls in Konoha.
She suddenly wondered what it would be like if Senga did that, and as she thought about it, a few drops of saliva actually dripped from the corner of Yamato's mouth.
Sasuke, of course, had no idea that Yamato's thoughts had wandered off to who-knows-where; he simply took off his clothes to activate the Cursed Seal.
Orochimaru has already "reformed," so the Cursed Seal is a very useful ability for Sasuke. There's no need for Itachi to stab him with the Totsuka Blade.
Pfft!
Two enormous, palm-sized wings emerged from Sasuke's back, and his skin quickly darkened to a grayish hue.
Yamato paused for a moment, thinking to himself,
"Huh? Could he be Devil Fruit User? Judging by his appearance, he might be some kind of unknown Mythical Zoan?"
After activating the Cursed Seal, Sasuke's strength improved in every aspect, and the surge in power gave him confidence.
With a sudden flap of his wings, Sasuke charged at Yamato once more, blinding gray lightning crackling from his hands—his signature Chidori.
Yamato frowned; she found Chidori's voice really noisy.
"Chidori!"
Sasuke shouted and reached out to stab Yamato in the abdomen, Yamato snorted coldly and raised his hand to clench it.
Sizzle!
The sound of Chidori still echoed in the training ground, along with Sasuke's shout.
"What?! How is this possible?!"
Yamato simply grabbed Sasuke's wrist, which was holding Chidori, and then with a gentle flick, sent Sasuke flying towards Naruto.
Naruto quickly reached out to catch it, but Yamato's strength was too great. He managed to catch it, but Sasuke still knocked him away.
However, thanks to Naruto's buffer, Sasuke felt much better this time.
He propped himself up from Naruto's arms, exchanged a brief glance with Naruto for a few seconds, and then quickly flew back to Yamato.
Naruto got up, patted his butt, and muttered,
"What kind of look is that? Shouldn't I have accepted it?"
Yamato chuckled, bored, Yamato said casually,
"Let's end this battle here. I'm a little sleepy. Juejue, let's go!"
Yamato's performance was like a knife to Sasuke's heart; it was incredibly humiliating. He was the one who initiated the challenge, but after fighting for so long, he hadn't even managed to scratch Yamato's Kakuzu.
Just as Yamato was about to leave with Black Zetsu, Sasuke roared,
"Don't go! The battle isn't over yet!"
Yamato and looked at Sasuke strangely, then asked a question.
"Huh? You think there's any point in continuing the fight?"
It wasn't that Yamato was deliberately mocking Sasuke; she was just naturally outspoken Yamato straightforward. Except when she was dealing with Senga, she would say whatever came to mind with everyone else.
In her opinion, Sasuke's strength was not on the same level as hers at all, and fighting him would be pointless. She had to be careful not to hold back, otherwise, with Sasuke's small body, he could easily be smashed to pieces by her punch.
That's right, it was a punch. After the first exchange, Yamato had absolutely no intention of using his spiked club.
