Can You Do It, You Scrawny Dog

It must be said that the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan is truly gifted; once the Sharingan is awakened, one only needs to let it evolve step by step to see their strength skyrocket.

Iruka felt an incomparable surge of excitement in his heart at this very moment.

Ito Hirofumi had just displayed his astonishing progress, and now Uchiha Sasuke had awakened his own Sharingan!

He never expected that his class would harbor two such geniuses!

Truly, if Heaven had not birthed me, Iruka, the teachers of the Ninja Academy would be as if in an eternal night!

No!

What happened today must be reported to the Third Hokage!

I must let the Hokage know that such geniuses have appeared in my class!

"Ito Hirofumi... are you ready? I'm coming! Prepare to face the pride of the Uchiha Clan!"

Uchiha Sasuke said this while settling into a combat stance.

Ito Hirofumi grew serious as well; the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan was formidable, especially the kinetic vision it granted upon awakening!

However, since he had been suppressing Uchiha Sasuke just moments ago, even with the One-Tomoe Sharingan active, he should have no trouble fighting him to a draw.

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

As soon as the words left his lips, Uchiha Sasuke and Ito Hirofumi, standing in the center of the training ground, charged at each other in an instant!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Relying on the combat experience he had gained from being beaten by Uchiha Madara, and with Uchiha Sasuke relying on the kinetic vision provided by his Sharingan, the two were locked in an evenly matched struggle for a time!

This was something Uchiha Sasuke found hard to accept; how could he still be unable to defeat Ito Hirofumi even after awakening his Sharingan?!

Ito Hirofumi was also inwardly astonished. Although he knew the Sharingan was overpowered, he hadn't expected that even a single tomoe could provide such a massive boost!

As expected of the Uchiha Clan... they truly have the capital to be proud.

No wonder some people used to say that Naruto should just be renamed "Legend of the Eyes."

However, now that he possessed the chakra of Indra, he had every opportunity to awaken the Sharingan himself!

There was no need to be overly envious of Uchiha Sasuke.

The battle between the two lasted for a very long time. Neither Uchiha Sasuke nor Ito Hirofumi dared to let their guard down for even a second; after all, if they were to lose focus now, the only outcome would be defeat.

The surrounding students had become somewhat desensitized by this point.

"These two guys are truly terrifying..."

"I never imagined these two were already this strong?!"

"Ito Hirofumi's rate of progress is just too frightening!"

"I'm afraid these two already possess the strength to become Genin!"

"..."

On the other side, Uzumaki Naruto was incredibly excited, his butt wiggling with agitation; his two good friends were truly strong!

He couldn't fall behind in the future either!!

After all, he was the man who was going to become the Hokage!

"Go, Hirofumi! Beat the crap out of that stuck-up Sasuke!"

"Oh my, oh my... stuck-up Sasuke! Didn't you just say you were going to let Hirofumi witness the pride of the Uchiha?!

And this is all you've got after all that talk?! Just some pink-eye and little tadpoles?!"

Uzumaki Naruto shouted from the sidelines while wiggling his butt and using an extremely bizarre tone...

"Are you even capable, you skinny dog?"

He had learned that phrase from Ito Hirofumi; the old Ito Hirofumi used to mock him for being a skinny dog all the time.

Uchiha Sasuke's face flushed red upon hearing this, whether from the exhaustion of fighting Ito Hirofumi or from Uzumaki Naruto's mockery.

When Uzumaki Naruto called him a skinny dog, Uchiha Sasuke could no longer hold back!

"You damn idiot!!! Shut your mouth! If you call me a skinny dog one more time, I'll show you exactly how skinny I am!!!"

Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto looked terrified, hurriedly covering his butt and scrambling back several steps...

"Ehh?!!! Stuck-up Sasuke, you aren't trying to hit on me, are you?! I'll have you know I don't have those kinds of weird hobbies! I have no interest in knowing how skinny you are!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto's words caused Uchiha Sasuke to lose his composure instantly. Seizing the moment of Sasuke's breakdown, Ito Hirofumi kicked him flying with a single strike!

BOOM!!!!!!

Uchiha Sasuke slid several meters backward.

However, Sasuke didn't counterattack immediately; instead, he glared viciously at Uzumaki Naruto, who was still clutching his butt in a panic...

"You Uzumaki idiot!!! Shut your mouth!!! If you dare say one more word of nonsense! I'll kill you!!!"

"Tch... Uchiha skinny dog!!!"

"Ahhhhhhh!!! I'm going to kill you! Uzumaki idiot!!!"

"Tch... Uchiha twig!!!"

"..."

Just like that, in front of everyone, the two of them started bickering again, trading insults of "twig" and "idiot" back and forth.

Ito Hirofumi was happy to take a break, so he simply stood to the side and watched the show...

Iruka helplessly slapped his own forehead hard.

"Both of you, shut your mouths!!!

Uzumaki Naruto!

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

And you, Uchiha Sasuke!

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

"No way!!!" x2

The two of them shouted at Iruka in perfect unison.

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

After sensing his own chakra, Sasuke's expression turned incredibly grave!

Having activated his Sharingan and fought for so long, he didn't have much chakra left...

But that guy Ito Hirofumi didn't seem affected at all!

This meant that guy definitely had more chakra than he did...

It seemed he only had that one move left!

But if he used that move, Ito Hirofumi would likely get hurt, right?!

With Iruka there, it shouldn't be too much of a problem; after all, Iruka was a Chunin!

Besides, he carried the honor of the Uchiha Clan!

He absolutely could not lose!!!

"Ito Hirofumi!!!

This is my final move!!!

Watch closely!

I won't be holding back this time!

After all, I carry the final glory of the Uchiha Clan!!!

Failure is absolutely not an option!!!

I suggest you surrender now! Otherwise, you're very likely to get hurt!!!"
