Can You Handle It, You Scrawny Wimp?

You had to admit, the Uchiha Clan was blessed with exceptional blood. Once they awakened the Sharingan, all they had to do was let it evolve step by step, and their strength would increase by leaps and bounds...

At that moment, Iruka was incredibly excited.

Ito Hirofumi had just demonstrated his astonishing progress, and now Uchiha Sasuke had awakened his Sharingan too!

Who would've thought his class had two such talented students?

Truly, without me, Iruka, the world would be plunged into eternal darkness!

No!

He had to report what had happened today to the Third Hokage!

He had to make sure the Hokage knew his class had produced such a pair of geniuses!!!

"Ito Hirofumi... are you ready? Here I come! Prepare to face the pride of the Uchiha Clan!!!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Sasuke took up a fighting stance.

Ito Hirofumi also grew serious. The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan was powerful, especially the dynamic vision it granted once awakened!

Still, he'd been able to keep Uchiha Sasuke on the back foot just moments ago. Even with his One-Tomoe Sharingan activated, Sasuke shouldn't be able to do more than fight him to a draw...

"Come on, Sasuke! Show me the pride of the Uchiha Clan!!!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Uchiha Sasuke and Ito Hirofumi charged at each other from the center of the training ground!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

Ito Hirofumi relied on the combat experience he'd gained from getting beaten up by Uchiha Madara, while Uchiha Sasuke relied on the dynamic vision granted by his Sharingan. For a while, the two were evenly matched!

Uchiha Sasuke found it hard to accept. He'd awakened the Sharingan, and he still couldn't beat Ito Hirofumi?!

Ito Hirofumi was also surprised. He knew the Sharingan was incredible, but he hadn't expected even a single tomoe to bring such a huge boost!

The Uchiha Clan really did have reason to be proud!

No wonder people used to say Naruto should've been renamed The Legend of Eyes.

But now that he had Indra's Chakra, he had every chance of awakening the Sharingan himself!

There was no need to envy Uchiha Sasuke too much.

Their clash went on for a long time. Neither Uchiha Sasuke nor Ito Hirofumi dared let his attention wander for even a moment. If either of them did, he'd likely lose...

The classmates watching had already gotten used to it.

"Those two are seriously scary..."

"I can't believe they're already this strong?!"

"Ito Hirofumi's progress is way too terrifying!"

"Those two probably already have what it takes to become Genin, don't they?!"

"..."

Meanwhile, Uzumaki Naruto was so excited he was even wiggling his butt. His two good friends really were strong!

He couldn't afford to fall behind!!

After all, he was going to become Hokage someday!!!

"Go, Haowen! Beat that stuck-up Sasuke!"

"Ooh, Stuck-up Sasuke! Didn't you say you were going to show Haowen the pride of the Uchiha Clan?!

"So that's all you've got?! A case of red-eye and a tadpole?!"

As he wiggled his butt, Uzumaki Naruto shouted from the sidelines in a bizarre voice...

"Can you handle it~~~ you scrawny wimp~~~~"

He'd learned that line from Ito Hirofumi. Back in the day, Ito Hirofumi used to tease him for being a scrawny wimp...

Uchiha Sasuke's face flushed at those words. It was hard to tell whether he was exhausted from fighting Ito Hirofumi or embarrassed by Uzumaki Naruto's taunts.

When Uzumaki Naruto called him a scrawny wimp, Uchiha Sasuke finally snapped!!!

"You damn idiot!!! Shut your mouth! Call me a scrawny wimp again, and I'll show you just how scrawny I am!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes widened in alarm. He quickly covered his butt and hurried several steps backward...

"Huh?!!! Stuck-up Sasuke, you're not trying to—?! I'm warning you, I'm not into that kind of weird stuff! I don't care how scrawny you are!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto's words made Uchiha Sasuke lose his composure completely. Ito Hirofumi seized the moment and kicked him flying!

BAM!!!!!!

Uchiha Sasuke skidded several meters backward.

But instead of counterattacking right away, Sasuke glared furiously at Uzumaki Naruto, who was covering his butt in alarm...

"You Uzumaki idiot!!! Shut your mouth!!! Say one more useless thing and I'll kill you!!!"

"Pfft... Uchiha Scrawny Wimp!!!"

"AAAAAAAH!!! I'm going to kill you, Uzumaki idiot!!!"

"Pfft... Uchiha Scrawny Wimp!!!"

"..."

And so, right there in front of everyone, the two traded insults, one calling the other a scrawny wimp and the other calling him an idiot.

Ito Hirofumi was happy to take a breather and watch from the sidelines...

Iruka helplessly slapped his forehead.

"You two, shut up!!!

Uzumaki Naruto!

If you keep interrupting the sparring practice, you can go back to the classroom!!!

And you, Uchiha Sasuke!

If you don't want to keep fighting, I'll declare Ito Hirofumi the winner of this match!!!"

"No!!!" x2

The two shouted at Iruka-sensei in perfect unison.

Uzumaki Naruto sheepishly shut his mouth, while Uchiha Sasuke refocused his attention on Ito Hirofumi...

After checking his Chakra, Sasuke's expression grew extremely grave!

He'd awakened his Sharingan and fought for quite a while. He didn't have much Chakra left...

But Ito Hirofumi didn't look affected at all!

That meant the guy had to have more Chakra than him...

Then he had only one move left!

But if he used it, Ito Hirofumi might get hurt!

Iruka-sensei was here, so things shouldn't get too serious. After all, Iruka-sensei was a Chunin!

And he, the one who bore the Uchiha Clan's honor!

Absolutely couldn't lose!!!

"Ito Hirofumi!!!

This is my final move!!!

Watch closely!

I won't hold back this time!

After all, I bear the Uchiha Clan's last honor!!!

Losing is absolutely not an option!!!

I advise you to surrender now! Otherwise, you could get hurt!!!"
