Sasuke Was Smashed to Tears

Perhaps because he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, Sasuke laughed loudly and for a little longer, making him seem somewhat noisy.

"Idiot."

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and Sasuke, who was laughing loudly, stopped abruptly.

He suddenly turned his head to look behind him, and when he saw the familiar Naruto, Sasuke's eyes widened.

He never expected that when he woke up, he would not see the Sound Ninja, but Naruto, who had always been stronger than him and had always made him feel oppressed.

"Naruto? What are you doing here?" Sasuke exclaimed in surprise.

"Can't I just be here?"

Naruto smiled and said, "Yeah, isn't this to take you back to Konoha?"

"Take me back to Konoha? Hahahaha, ridiculous, utterly ridiculous, hahahaha."

Sasuke suddenly burst into laughter again, continuing to laugh as he felt the terrifying power surrounding him.

For so long, he had been suppressed and surpassed by Naruto. Even after learning so many abilities from Kakashi, Naruto was still far inferior to Naruto. But now...

His tremendous increase in strength finally allowed him to hold his head high, so this time he laughed loudly and heartily.

"Naruto, do you know how strong I am? Ten times stronger! I've increased my strength tenfold! You have no chance against me with this kind of power. Give up!"

After Sasuke finished speaking, he raised his head and stared into Naruto's eyes, looking at Naruto with strong confidence.

He was eager to know how Naruto would respond, and even more eager to see Naruto's surprised expression upon learning of his increased strength.

"It seems this Curse Mark is somewhat effective, but it's too ugly; it's not suitable for my Hinata," Naruto muttered, glancing at the Curse Mark.

"Ugly?"

Sasuke was stunned. He never expected Naruto to answer like that, caring about ugliness instead of strength. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

Didn't they say they were going to take me back to Konoha? How can they stop me if I don't have the power? Why aren't they concerned about increasing my power? Why are they only concerned about my appearance?

Sasuke couldn't understand, perhaps thinking Naruto hadn't heard him clearly, Sasuke said again, "Naruto, did you hear me clearly? My power has increased tenfold, a full tenfold."

"Oh."

Naruto absentmindedly picked at his ear, waiting for his Experience Points to reach 100% as soon as possible.

"You!!"

Sasuke was genuinely angry at this sight, feeling that Naruto was either playing a trick on him or stalling for time while waiting for Konoha's reinforcements.

So Sasuke said coldly, "You're just deliberately stalling for time. Do you think that will work? Forget it, there's no need to waste time with you."

Sasuke finished speaking and prepared to leave, but Naruto blocked his way.

"Wait a little longer."

Naruto saw that he was still 7 Experience Points away from reaching 100%, and decided to ask Sasuke to wait a little longer.

"Trying to stop me? Hmph, since you want to experience my power, then let me show you how terrifying it is when my power is amplified tenfold."

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, the Curse Mark around his body flashed rapidly, and his entire being seemed to turn dark, enveloped in terrifying power. Under this power, Sasuke suddenly charged towards Naruto.

Perhaps to demonstrate his terrifying power, Sasuke began running rapidly around Naruto, circling endlessly within the illusion.

A moment later.

Sasuke felt it was about time and rushed towards Naruto like a black lightning bolt, then shouted.

"Naruto, take this!"

Bang!

A dull thud sounded, and Sasuke, who had been moving forward rapidly and leaping into the air, came to a sudden stop in mid-air. His ankle was firmly grabbed by a hand, and the next second, a dizzying sensation swept over him.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

A tremendous crash resounded, accompanied by flying dirt and splashing waves from the turbulent river.

After the roaring sound stopped, Naruto shook his head.

"You're so noisy! I told you to wait a minute, and you're still jumping around like that. I'm going to have to give you a good beating. Honestly."

After Naruto finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the high platform next to him to check the Data Panel.

Sasuke was embedded in the earth, lying sprawled in the soil, his eyes gazing blankly at the sky, completely motionless as if he had gone mad.

The sky was still so blue, and the white clouds were still drifting, but Sasuke wanted to cry. His strength had increased tenfold, and he had obtained Orochimaru's Curse Mark, becoming incredibly powerful.

But.

Despite his immense strength, he had barely reached Naruto's side before being grabbed and slammed to the ground.

And not only did they smash it, but they smashed it so hard that even the Curse Mark Second State couldn't withstand it, and it was completely destroyed, almost making the person stupid.

Sasuke, on the verge of tears, felt the excruciating pain throughout his body and the retracting Curse Mark on his shoulder. His eyes reddened, and he was on the verge of emotional collapse.

Struggling to his feet, Sasuke red, cried out, "Why, why are you so strong? Why is this happening?!"

Sasuke shouted, his eyes red as he looked at Naruto. Seeing Naruto's calm and composed demeanor, Sasuke's composure crumbled completely.

Thinking back on all these years, I've worked tirelessly to cultivate myself while bearing the burden of family hatred, improving my strength in every way.

Having finally obtained power from Orochimaru, he thought he was strong enough, but Naruto down, leaving him powerless to resist.

This feeling is so damn intense, it's almost so intense I could cry.

Just then, Naruto opened his eyes and saw Sasuke's almost crying expression.

"Huh? Why do you look like that? I have control over my power, I only used a tiny bit."

Naruto wasn't lying; he truly controlled his power. If he were to unleash it, not only Sasuke, but the entire Ninja World wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from him.

But.

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words; after he did, Sasuke truly cried this time.

Sasuke was already mentally broken by the impact, but then Naruto added that he only used a tiny bit of his power. Sasuke couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, why, why are you so strong, why?!"

"Sasuke, are you serious? Never mind, I was just doing my job anyway, I wasn't planning on taking you back. I'm leaving."

Naruto shook his head and left in a flash, leaving Sasuke sitting there in a daze.

He heard that sentence, that perfunctory remark, which meant that Naruto could have easily avoided hitting him and instead sent him to Orochimaru, since Naruto had said it was just a perfunctory task.

But now things are different.

Naruto smashed himself up like this, and then told himself it was just to get by. It's infuriating! Sasuke was so angry his face turned green.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger, but his suspicions about Naruto's strength only intensified, and the image of Naruto's Bald Training Method kept flashing through his mind.

He had a vague feeling that perhaps that Bald Training Method really worked.

"It's only three years, right? I can stick with it."

Sasuke finished speaking, he limped away, but the area on his buttocks that had been hit was torn open, and the skin underneath was occasionally exposed in the breeze.
