"Stop talking! I said shut up!"
As Shinji's questions struck one nerve after another, Sasuke roared in anger.
If anyone else had said those things, Sasuke would have been furious, but he wouldn't have felt ashamed. The reason he was so humiliated was that Shinji was the one saying them.
He was the one who had awakened the Sharingan!
Yet whether he'd faced Naruto earlier or been challenged by Yakumo later, he'd lost miserably and brought shame upon the Uchiha Clan.
Looking at Sasuke's furious, mortified face, Shinji slowly got to his feet.
In truth, Sasuke didn't need to feel ashamed about losing to Naruto and Yakumo.
Although Yakumo's rise had been entirely Shinji's doing, her development had reached this point through all sorts of unforeseen circumstances.
By now, Yakumo had long since surpassed the level of the Ninja Academy.
Once she got used to the Red Dragon Eye, learned to control Wood Release, and filled in a few gaps in her fundamentals, she would be a bona fide elite Jonin.
With a little time, becoming a Kage wouldn't be difficult for her.
It was no surprise that she could beat not only students at the Ninja Academy, but even Jonin.
As for Naruto—
Because of Shinji, the Akatsuki Organization had revealed its designs on the Tailed Beasts of the various villages ahead of time. As a result, through a twist of fate, Naruto had mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan earlier than he had in the original timeline.
Naruto was a Jinchuriki, and he also had the Sage Body of the Uzumaki Clan. Once he'd learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan, both of which suited his strengths, his power had surpassed that of many Chunin. It wasn't impossible for even a Jonin to stumble against
