Naruto burst into laughter in surprise. "Sasuke, you're awake!"

However, Sasuke didn't respond. He kept his head down, emitting a terrifying sound from his throat.

Naruto frowned and cautiously walked towards him.

"Sasuke, what's wrong with you..."

Sasuke suddenly looked up, his two tomoe Sharingan eyes narrowing sharply. He stomped his foot and charged at Naruto like a madman.

Naruto was caught off guard and was directly slammed into the forest behind him.

The immense impact caused blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, Sasuke, what's gotten into you!" Naruto roared.

But Sasuke acted as if he hadn't heard him, leaping up again and charging forward at extreme speed.

He quickly rolled to dodge.

How could he possibly attack his teammate?

He raised his hand and clenched it in mid-air, and the Flying Broom instantly appeared in his hand.

Now that Sasuke had gone mad, he could only temporarily restrain him with the broom.

If he ran away, Sakura would likely be the next victim.

Sakura, lying on a clearing in the distance, watched the frenzied Sasuke, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sasuke, what's gotten into you?" she whispered, unable to help herself.

On the ground, Sasuke continued to roar, his blood-red eyes locked onto Naruto, who was riding the Flying Broom.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

He quickly formed hand seals and spat a row of small fireballs from his mouth, shooting directly at Naruto.

Naruto's eyes widened. He immediately felt a wave of heat from behind him. Turning his head, he saw that the head of his broom had already caught fire.

His pants were right at the tip of the flames, and soon a hole was burned through them.

"Sasuke, I'll send my regards to your ancestors!"

He roared and jumped off the broom, landing directly in a nearby puddle.

"Sizzle!"

A Byakugan appeared, and Naruto's entire body relaxed.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

At this moment, another voice from Sasuke came from the other side of the forest.

Naruto quickly dodged to the side as a massive fireball flew past him, just behind his back.

He gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.

Sasuke was in a state of madness right now, and approaching him would likely be dangerous.

So, he sighed regretfully.

"Sasuke, don't blame me! Wood Style: Thousand Years of Impalement Technique!"

Sasuke was immediately restrained. Just as the wooden hands gripped his backside, he let out a loud yell.

A red mass of energy filled with evil power erupted from his mouth.

Then, the red whirlwind surrounding him quietly dissipated.

Naruto wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

After Sasuke returned to normal, he immediately felt a stinging sensation in his posterior.

Looking down, he found himself bound by a pile of wooden stakes.

And this Ninjutsu was something only Naruto among the rookies knew.

He roared in fury, "Damn you, Naruto, are you trying to ascend to heaven?! Let me go at once!"

Naruto pouted. He didn't know who was the one who was going to ascend to heaven. With a gentle clasp of his hands, the wooden stakes binding him quietly disappeared.

He stumbled forward, clutching his backside with both hands, and glared at Naruto resentfully.

He had absolutely no memory of what had happened before...

"Sasuke, let's hurry! Otherwise, they'll break free from the immobilization jutsu soon."

Naruto reminded him in a low voice.

Sasuke's face darkened, as if someone owed him eight hundred strings of cash. "Then why didn't you bind the one who could move too?"

Naruto scratched his head, his face flushing slightly. "She's a girl, it wouldn't be appropriate to use this technique on her!"

"You could have just bound her alone!" Sasuke said, angry yet somewhat helpless.

"This is a combined Ninjutsu, it activates as a whole set!"

"Then just perform half the hand seals!"

"Yeah, how did I not think of that!" Naruto's eyes lit up.

Then, he raised his hand and formed a hand seal: "Wood Release: Impale Technique!"

As soon as the words fell, the ground beneath Koto's feet suddenly split open, and a wooden hand shot straight out.

"Pfft!"

Koto's face instantly turned bright red as she was sent flying.

A scroll dropped directly from her ninja tool pouch.

Naruto dazedly picked it up, awkwardly rubbed his head, and chuckled.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect a half-formed hand seal to do this!"

With that, he directly took the scroll and chased after Sasuke and Sakura.

On the other side of the forest, Anko Mitarai was leaping through the branches.

She spoke into her headset.

"I've spotted a possible sighting of Orochimaru. Requesting immediate deployment of Anbu for a search!"

"Repeat, spotted a possible sighting of Orochimaru. Requesting immediate deployment of Anbu for a search!"

Beneath a tree she passed, a white snake wriggled, a fierce glint in its eyes.

"Anko, my good disciple, your master isn't feeling well this time, so I won't be coming out to see you!"

As the words fell, he scurried out of the tree hollow.

Invincible Scratch-off.

Wu Di sat behind the counter, tapping his fingers on the tabletop, yawning.

Ever since Naruto and the others had entered the forest for the exam, the chance of his shop's golden light flashing had suddenly decreased significantly.

He idly glanced at the lottery tickets behind him.

Suddenly, a novel idea struck him.

He ran a scratch-off ticket shop, but he himself had never actually scratched one.

Why not give it a try himself?

He looked around, his gaze landing on a scratch-off ticket worth a million ryo.

Since the shop had opened, not a single ticket worth a million ryo had ever been sold!

He rubbed his hands together and directly took one.

Looking at the smooth surface of the ticket, he hesitated for a moment.

If he didn't scratch anything off, his one million ryo in silver notes would be gone!

After a moment of deliberation, his eyes narrowed.

It was going to sit there unsold anyway, so whether it was sold or not was essentially the same.

Since that was the case, he might as well scratch it himself. If he happened to scratch out something good, wouldn't that be a huge profit!

With these thoughts, he directly picked up a coin.

"Sssshhh..."

He had scratched off half the coating when suddenly a golden light erupted.

This light was far more intense than the usual winning light.

The people who were scratching their own tickets nearby curiously gathered around.

"What did he win? Why is it so bright!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah! I'm curious too!"

Wu Di chuckled, then swung his arm and quickly scraped off the rest of the coating.

Instantly, a scroll shimmering with golden light flew out.

Unlike other Ninjutsu scrolls.

Other scrolls would lose their glow after floating out.

But this scroll continued to flicker even after landing in Wu Di's hands.

"Whoa, you can tell this is something good!"

"Boss, you've got great luck!"

Wu Di laughed heartily and eagerly opened it.

At the top of the scroll, eight golden characters shone brightly: Ancient Divine Skill: Fiery Golden Eyes!

"Whoa, it's actually Monkey King's Fiery Golden Eyes!"

His eyes lit up.

As a child, he had fantasized countless times about having the same Fiery Golden Eyes as Monkey King, being able to easily see through all things in the world.

He never expected that after entering the Naruto world, he would unintentionally fulfill his childhood wish.

He took a deep breath and directly accepted the gifted one in his mind.

As for the original copy, he planned to cherish it well.

Ever since receiving the Fiery Golden Eyes, Wu Di found that he could see everything more clearly than before.

At this moment, a young man entered the small shop, clutching his backside.
