After that day, Sasuke never clamored to challenge Kazan again.
It was as though that beating had knocked some sense into him. He grew a little more mature, but also went to another extreme.
Sasuke suddenly stopped caring about winning or losing against Naruto. He thought the kids around him were utterly childish.
They had no idea how high the barriers of the Shinobi World were. What the Ninja Academy taught them would never bring them anywhere close to Kazan.
This was a waste of time!
"The Sharingan's power really is extreme."
Kazan secretly observed the changes in Sasuke.
After that challenge, the Sharingan's dōjutsu power had suddenly surged. Kazan believed it would soon evolve into its two-tomoe form.
But a change in personality came with it.
"The power of the mind is even more dangerous than physical strength. Sasuke's first drastic personality change came from the trauma of Itachi's Tsukuyomi. That was when he awakened his Sharingan."
This time was no different.
Kazan compared his own Haki with the dōjutsu power of Sasuke's Sharingan.
He also recalled how his Haki became more concentrated whenever his fighting spirit soared.
"Emotion, will..."
Kazan felt as though he had found a direction.
He sought out Hikari and asked her to cast the genjutsu Tsukuyomi on him.
"Tsukuyomi? Don't joke around, Kazan. My genjutsu doesn't work on you at all." Hikari thought he had come to tease her.
"This time, I won't break out of your genjutsu." Kazan explained his idea to Hikari.
He would immerse himself completely in the world of Tsukuyomi.
In that illusionary world, he would lose all his chakra and have nothing but his fists and Haki.
Kazan could no longer find an opponent in the real world. Like the mighty Saitama, he could only fight the Underground King
