Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 150 Naruto: "Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Knowing that he could not engage in a protracted battle with the clone, Sasuke used the force to rise up, continuously forming seals with his hands, and a huge fireball composed of wisps of flames pounced downwards.

The scorching heat made the water curtain boil, and Naruto's blue eyes suddenly lit up as he felt this unknown excitement helping him unlock his potential.

"This is......"

bang bang bang ......

The mist from the dissipated shadow clone filled the arena. Sasuke's pupils rolled and he looked around, subconsciously searching for Naruto.

"It seems that besides your talents, you also have some powers that are worth paying attention to, but that's all."

Dark red bandages hung down and wrapped around Sasuke's body. When he heard the voice behind his head, his heart was filled with shock.

"Naruto! Is this... Renka?"

"Eight Gates of Ninjutsu. First Gate Opening. Open, representing the Lotus Flower!"

The high-speed rotating storm blew away the white mist, and it fell directly from the sky to the center of the arena. Just as Sasuke was about to hit the ground headfirst, a dark afterimage tore through the strong wind and completely separated the two.

"The winner is decided, the winner is Uzumaki Naruto!"

The crowd had already been shocked by the scene before them and couldn't even utter a word. They couldn't beat either of these two men.

"Amazing! When did Naruto become so strong?"

"Hey, hey, hey, this is too exaggerated. He is not even on the same level as us. Even if he is a genius, it's too much..."

"No way, Sasuke will lose to Naruto? Don't be ridiculous, Shannara!"

The arena returned to its original state. Many little girls could not accept this result at all, but Hinata, who watched the entire battle with her white eyes, nodded slightly.

"If it weren't for the teacher's intervention, Uchiha Sasuke would have been injured even if he didn't die. There is nothing in this world that the teacher can't do."

He nodded secretly in his heart, but his eyes revealed strong yearning and longing.

Stronger than his father, more gentle than his mother, the role model for countless ninjas, and the hero who saved her.

"We win, well done, Naruto!"

Kushina kept cheering, and Karin, who was following her, blushed and couldn't help but lower her head. There were too many people looking at them, and their eyes were not friendly.

"I lost. I lost. How could I lose the reputation of the Uchiha clan to this guy!"

As if sensing Sasuke's inner roar, Naruto turned his head and muttered in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"Desire, longing? This is the difference in power. If you want to be in my position, it takes more than just desire and longing."

"Because, admiration is the farthest distance from understanding. Understand loneliness, embrace loneliness, and inspire your desire for power, Sasuke..."

With trembling pupils, a happy family, and a goal to catch up with ahead of him, Sasuke experienced for the first time the taste of inexplicable pain from his peers, as well as the fear of the unknown.

“Loneliness, what is loneliness?”

"It is a feeling you never want to experience, but it is also the most precious thing you can realize after experiencing it. It is also the thing that makes you extremely powerful."

Sasuke could not understand Naruto's answer yet, but a seed was quietly buried in his heart, which would only take root and sprout at the loneliest moment.

"Okay, the class is over. Don't be late for the next class."

"Eh!"

Inside the crystal ball, the Third Hokage was silent for a long time. He didn't expect that Uchiha Kagetsu had even learned the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and taught it to Naruto. What did he want to do?

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen really can't figure out Uchiha Kagetsu's purpose. If he wants to control the Nine-Tails to seize power, isn't the opportunity right in front of him?

Or is it that Uchiha Kagetsu is really loyal to Konoha, like Uchiha Kagami, transcending the narrow views of a clan and a village?

Or, even without the Kyuubi, it would still be easy to seize power with their disregarded attitude.

Sarutobi Hiruzen racked his brains but could not think of any other possibility. After Uchiha Shisui's death, there were no spies to gather intelligence on the Uchiha clan.

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, looked at the last information Shisui left for him, and had no choice but to take a gamble.

Late at night, in a very private meeting room in the Hokage office building.

"Uchiha Shisui recommended you at the last minute. I have no choice but to put you in an awkward position between the clan and the village."

"It's okay. This is Shisui's wish. To preserve the reputation of the Uchiha clan and to keep the village from being dragged into war."

Uchiha Itachi raised his head, glanced at the many high-ranking officials of Konoha, stayed on Danzo for a moment, and then lowered his head.

Uchiha Itachi's answer made everyone extremely satisfied, especially after seeing the information provided by Itachi, they realized that the turbulent undercurrent was becoming more and more troublesome.

"A few months after Shisui committed suicide, the Uchiha clan could no longer contain their restlessness. Not only did the Konoha police force carry weapons, they also secretly instigated other Uchiha clan members."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes and spoke sincerely.

"In fact, I still hope to resolve disputes and problems through peace talks. After all, we are comrades who have experienced the Second and Third Ninja World Wars together. In addition, there are the attitudes of Uchiha Kagetsu and the Hyuga branch."

The disappearance of just the Uchiha clan is still within the tolerable range, but if half of the Hyuga clan were also killed, Konoha would not be able to afford the loss.

The Uchiha clan has around 300 open-eyed ninjas at most, but the Hyuga branch has at least 800 to 1,000 Byakugan scouts!

The most crucial point is that they are completely loyal to Uchiha Kagetsu, which is the thorny part of the problem.

"Regarding this point, the Hyuga clan will never stand on the same front as the Uchiha clan. In fact, the Uchiha clan's attitude towards the Hyuga clan..."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the Hyuga clan's training ground, wooden stakes were placed in all directions. With his long hair tied into a ponytail, the young Neji was full of confidence and got into position.

"Soft Boxing Technique·Bagua Air Explosion!"

The next second, blocks of chakra condensed into entities and gathered into needles at the fingertips, piercing the air and causing strong winds, before suddenly landing at the farthest point in front.

boom!

The moment it pierced the wooden stake, a sound similar to that of a detonating tag was heard, and the entire wooden stake exploded into countless pieces. Neji's face was full of joy.

clap clap clap!

Crisp applause was heard, and Hinata Hizashi nodded with satisfaction. The comments he made made Neji smile even more.

"Three hundred meters, this distance is enough to be considered an excellent long-distance ninjutsu. Neji, you have pioneered the long-distance soft fist of the Hyuga clan."

"Father, this was all thanks to Kazuki-sama's help. Without this special way of constructing chakra, I wouldn't be able to make the chakra block explode when it hits the enemy."

Neji was not complacent, and his eyes showed deep gratitude.

Hearing this, Ritsuo sighed quietly, with an inexplicable expression.

"Hey, if all the Uchiha were like Kazuki-sama, there wouldn't be any complaints or gossips from our clan members."
