Uchiha's Byakugan

Hearing Naruto Uzumaki's words, Sasuke Uchiha's brain crashed for a moment.

Then, a surge of rage shot straight to his head.

"You bastard, you actually dared to insult me? Looks like you're ready for me to beat the hell out of you!"

"Don't misunderstand. I wasn't insulting you. I'm serious."

Just as Sasuke Uchiha's fury reached its peak, Naruto smiled and waved his hand as he explained:

"Since we're gambling, let's make the stakes bigger. If you lose, then from now on, you'll give me your mom!"

[Come on, gamble! Hand over your mom!]

[Naruto Uzumaki is about to take away the maternal protection and mom coins that belong to your mother!]

[And...]

Enough, there was no more!

"????"

"Huh?!"

This wager stunned everyone present.

They had seen people gamble money and gamble punishments, but they had never seen anyone gamble their parents.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Standing in the back row, Shikamaru Nara looked as confused as Louis XVI.

He had always considered himself smart, but even after thinking about it for a long time, he still could not understand Naruto's train of thought.

"What the hell is this guy talking about?"

Standing to Naruto's left, Hinata Hyuga pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably wronged.

"Does Naruto mean... he wants Sasuke's mom to be his mom?"

"Why?"

"Am I not good enough?"

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. No one heard her; she could only poke her fingers together in grievance.

Not happy~!

The girls standing on Sasuke Uchiha's side were even more furious, viciously cursing Naruto.

However, their insults were not very damaging. Most of them were things like "idiot," "bastard," and "dead last."

Compared to Naruto's past life, where he had fought across the internet with mothers at the center and nine generations of ancestors forming the perimeter—

This was ridiculously weak!

So Naruto himself could completely ignore their verbal abuse, treating it as nothing more than stupid dogs yapping.

He smiled faintly and quietly watched Sasuke Uchiha, waiting for Sasuke Uchiha's response and the system prompt.

[Looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who stood before him with a grin full of provocation, as though challenging him to dare gamble, Sasuke Uchiha hardened.]

???

[His fists hardened!]

You damn dog system, can't you finish your sentence all at once?!

You scared the hell out of me!

[At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha had reached the peak of his fury, and anger had robbed his brain of 30% of its thinking ability.]

"You bastard, you think I don't dare?"

"Fine, I accept!"

"But your only ending will be defeat, followed by me beating the hell out of you!"

Sasuke Uchiha snorted coldly. Unable to suppress the fury in his heart any longer, he charged straight at Naruto.

He did not care whether class was in session or not. Right now, he was going to teach Naruto Uzumaki, that bastard who dared start a war to defend his mother, a lesson!

He would let Naruto Uzumaki know the consequences of offending Sasuke Uchiha, younger brother of Konoha's greatest genius, Itachi Uchiha.

Thus, he burst forth with the greatest speed his body could muster and, as he neared Naruto Uzumaki, threw a punch.

It shot straight at Naruto's hateful face.

"So fast!" Ino Yamanaka cried out in surprise. "As expected of Sasuke! Looks like Naruto's about to get beaten up."

Because of her words, Hinata Hyuga, who had been feeling down, revealed a worried expression once more.

Naruto~!

The moment Sasuke Uchiha's fist struck Naruto's face, Hinata closed her eyes in fear. She was afraid to see Naruto knocked to the ground.

Yet the next thing she heard was Ino Yamanaka's startled cries beside her.

"Eh?!"

"That wasn't his real body!"

Hinata opened her eyes again. There was no Naruto about to be knocked down; all that remained before Sasuke Uchiha was a dispersing cloud of chakra.

"A Clone Technique?"

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and said in disbelief, "Since when..."

He had always thought the Naruto Uzumaki provoking him before his eyes was the real one. He had not expected to be fooled.

"Since when? What a ridiculous question!"

At that moment, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly emerged from the group of girls behind him who had been cheering for Sasuke Uchiha.

With a mocking expression, he said:

"You should know, right? The Clone Technique creates illusions to confuse the visual senses. But as ninjutsu has evolved, it has become increasingly impractical and is rarely used in actual combat. Especially for someone with Uchiha blood like you, you should be the Clone Technique's natural enemy—yet you were fooled?"

Those words were true, but in reality, they only applied to gifted upperclassmen, real ninjas, and people who had awakened special Kekkei Genkai.

At present, everyone in their class was a first-year Ninja Academy student. There might be some who could truly distinguish a Clone Technique from the real body, but there definitely would not be many.

At least, Sasuke Uchiha did not have that ability for now. The fact that he had failed to see through Naruto's first clone proved it.

"Enough nonsense! I'll defeat you completely right now!"

Being mocked again—and mocked in the name of the Uchiha clan, no less—was more than Sasuke Uchiha, who considered himself second only to his brother, could bear.

He instantly saw red and charged toward Naruto once more.

Then, just as he was about to reach Naruto, he spun around and delivered a roundhouse kick. That kick contained every bit of strength currently in his body, cutting through the air with a sharp whistle.

"That idiot Naruto, why did he explain so much to Sasuke? If he had attacked while Sasuke wasn't paying attention, he would've already won. Now he has to take Sasuke's kick head-on."

Shikamaru Nara sighed. He felt that although Naruto had grown much stronger than before, his intelligence was still worrying.

"No, Naruto won this round."

At that moment.

Shino Aburame beside Shikamaru suddenly spoke. He raised a hand to adjust his sunglasses and said:

"The Naruto who appeared now is also a clone!"

"The bugs told me."

Huh?

Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi both froze. Neither of them had noticed.

Sure enough.

The next second, Sasuke Uchiha's leg passed directly through Naruto's body. Before this Naruto dispersed, he said with a smile:

"Sasuke, let me ask you something too!"

"Why did you get the illusion that I wasn't using the Clone Technique right now?"

As his words fell, a blonde girl with twin ponytails suddenly emerged from the group of girls supporting Sasuke Uchiha. At incredible speed, she rushed before Sasuke Uchiha the instant the clone dispersed.

What?!

This... couldn't be...

Transformation Technique!

By the time Sasuke Uchiha realized that the person before him was Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto had already leaped into the air and shouted the name of his move.

"Leaf Hurricane!"

"Bang—!"

Naruto sprang into the air and fiercely kicked out, striking Sasuke straight in the abdomen.

The intense pain made Sasuke lose his sense of the world for a moment.

All of a sudden, he saw his brother, his father, his mother, and everything he had experienced from childhood until now.

Then, all of Class 1-A witnessed Sasuke Uchiha, who possessed Uchiha blood, awaken the Hyuga clan's Kekkei Genkai.

Byakugan!
