Fated Showdown

Following the sound and turning his head, Naruto spotted a spiky-haired, poker-faced kid standing behind a tree, watching him coldly.

The ping-pong ball pattern on his clothes proved that he was an innately evil little Uchiha brat.

Naruto instantly realized that this poker-faced kid before him had to be Uchiha Sasuke.

But...

Why was an Uchiha even here??

Judging by the look of things, he had been watching Naruto for quite a while.

Could Sasuke have a habit of peeping on other people?

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the guy before him, his face full of disdain.

With the school term approaching, he had secretly come here to train so he could improve his strength and give his brother a surprise.

Yet early that morning, he had heard noisy sounds coming from nearby.

Then he discovered that this guy, who was about the same age as him, was also training here.

At first, he had been shocked by the guy's tenacious willpower.

But as time passed...

Sasuke realized that he was an idiot who could not even master the Clone Technique.

He had practiced for an entire morning before finally succeeding.

It was only a basic ninja technique, yet he had gotten so smug after learning it.

When Sasuke had learned that technique, it had taken him at most two hours to master.

He felt that spending an entire morning watching here had been a complete waste of his precious time.

It was unclear whether Sasuke's words were self-mockery or mockery directed at Naruto.

Big Fox, help me see how much Chakra this kid has.

Naruto spoke silently in his heart.

Kurama glanced at Uchiha Sasuke, then at the formations of Magic Lamps before him.

"0.5 magic."

"This brat is even weaker than you."

Hearing Big Fox's words, Naruto's face showed even greater disdain than Sasuke's.

Little Spicy Chicken!

With a mere 0.5 magic worth of Chakra, he still dared put on airs in front of me!

Naruto raised his chin and glared at Sasuke down his nose. Pointing one finger at him, he said, "Hey, you're an Uchiha, right?"

"Want to have a match?"

Sasuke had been about to turn and leave, but upon hearing such a provocative statement, he abruptly stopped. Slowly turning back, he stared at the guy before him.

"Are you looking down on the Uchiha?"

Sasuke valued his clan's honor greatly.

Everything this guy said was disrespectful toward the Uchiha Clan...

He had to teach this blond brat a lesson!

Naruto was at a loss for words, unable to make sense of Sasuke's thought process.

Did the Uchiha Clan eat garlic with every meal or something?

Why was his breath so fiery?

"You misunderstood..."

"I just look down on you."

Naruto's words were mocking to the extreme, making the veins on Sasuke's forehead bulge in anger.

He slowly walked up to Naruto and coldly stared into the guy's eyes.

At that moment, Sasuke seemed to have already thought of a way to defeat him.

"Good. You have successfully angered me."

"I'll show you the power of the Uchiha Clan."

Naruto gave a contemptuous smile, then copied Sasuke's movements and formed a Confrontation Seal.

The two stared at each other from afar for several seconds. Sasuke pulled three kunai from the Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist, took a step back, and threw them one after another.

The three kunai flew toward Naruto in a triangular formation.

Since it was his first battle, Naruto honestly did not have much experience.

The only experience he could count on was fighting classmates back when he had been in elementary school in his previous life.

But how could that compare to battles between ninjas in the Hokage World?

Knowing that his combat experience was inferior to his opponent's, Naruto pulled a Great Iron Gate from the system, raised it, and charged straight toward Sasuke.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The three kunai struck the iron gate with crisp rings, then bounced away and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Sasuke's face twisted into a knot.

What his opponent had just done could only be described as unprecedented.

It was Sasuke's first time encountering something like this, and it completely threw him off.

Who pulled out something to block kunai attacks in the middle of a fight?!

"Take this shield bash!"

Naruto had clearly already treated the door in his hands as a shield. With a single burst of speed, he rushed before Sasuke and swung the great door hard at his face.

With his immense strength, Naruto swung the door hard enough to make it whoosh through the air.

Sasuke's scalp went numb as he looked at the Great Iron Gate.

Judging by the material... it was most likely metal.

Just how strong was this guy?!

Sasuke was deeply shocked, but he still rolled sideways twice to dodge Naruto's "shield bash."

At that moment, the Third Hokage, who was watching the two fight, wore a face full of worry as he puffed continuously on his cigarette.

Just who had taught Naruto to fight like that?!

Using a door as a weapon to attack his opponent... wasn't that a little too innovative for a ninja?

Although it looked utterly absurd...

Naruto really had neutralized the attack of that Uchiha Clan child.

Seeing six-year-old Naruto swing the nearly two-meter-tall Great Iron Gate in his hands with tremendous force, the Third Hokage instantly felt a headache coming on.

Realizing that his attack had missed, Naruto immediately put away the door. The next second, he formed hand seals with both hands.

Poof! Poof!

After a burst of smoke, two clones appeared nearby.

Naruto tossed two iron rods from the system to them. Then the three figures charged at Sasuke while wildly waving their rods and shouting.

The sense of pressure was immense.

There was no helping it. Naruto did not have any ninja tools on him.

He could only pull things from the system to fight.
