"Alright everyone, theory class finishes here. We have a one-to-one battle drill and physical training today. Everyone has to participate." Iruka sensei as he closes the book.
He looked at all the students. Some are excited while some are worried and some don't care much about it.
Iruka sensei then continued "now let's go out to the training ground." After saying that he is the first to leave the classroom.
"What a drag," Shikamaru beside him said as he lazily got up from his seat. Naruto looks at him and smiles. He knows about the Nara clan's lazy nature.
They are just too smart. Naruto knows that if they wanted they could have become a powerhouse with the same standing as the Uchiha and Senju. It's just because They also know that the bigger tree falls faster they never try.
Naruto also got up from his seat and followed everyone outside the classroom. His physical strength hasn't adjusted to his body yet. But to handle these brats, those are enough.
A few moments later, A crowd of students stands in front of the training ground. Naruto still lacks a little charm compared to Sasuke but after tonight this will change.
He also has a very bad reputation in the village. So it wasn't surprising that 99% of the girls are Sasuke's fans. Except for a cute little dumpling. She is and will always be his fan.
Naruto can feel her gaze at his back from time to time from the crowds. Naruto didn't do anything or go talk to her. As this will make her faint on the spot.
He needs a slow approach toward her.
Iruka stands at the front with Mizuki and starts to call the names of students who need to battle there one by one.
Naruto stands at the back lazily. He put his hand behind his back and watched the fight on the stage. 'Damn this kind of fight is boring. I miss my stepson Sairaorg,' Naruto thought as he remembered his battle with Sairaorg during the party.
He comes out of his thoughts when Iruka calls out his name. "Naruto VS Sasuke"
Naruto walked towards the fighting circle and thought 'who came up with this match up? Why do I have to fight with someone who is ranked 1 every day? Don't they know this kind of match up sometimes demotivates a student?'
He then looks at Mizuki. He understands that it must be his doing. Naruto uses his conqueror Haki specifically on him.
Mizuki immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Naruto now feels a little satisfaction in his heart.
Iruka quickly held Mizuki and said "what happened to him? Quickly someone takes him to the med." Some students come and take Mizuki from the training ground.
Naruto now stands face to face with Sasuke with a smile. 'So that's my brother, Indra's incarnation, Sasuke Uchiha. The boy who is being manipulated and will continue to be by others.'
Sasuke looks at Naruto's smiling face. He feels like he is thinking bad things about himself. Not only that, but he's smiling face irritates him for some reason.
He isn't as lazy as Naruto. He has clearly seen his little demonstration in the classroom. He knows this yellow hair is not as easy as it seems.
'Let me see if you were just acting until now or not.' Sasuke thought.
Iruka looked at the two and said "make the seal of confrontation and start the battle."
All the rookie 9 became serious. They didn't forget about the morning incident. They look at the battle attentively. Except for a pinky who shouted, "show him his place and beat him Sasuke-kun."
Naruto also heard it. He looked at Sasuke teasingly and said "yeah, Sasuke Sama, beat me faster."
Sasuke becomes angry from embarrassment. He didn't waste a second and threw some shuriken at him.
They shoot towards him as if they will miss the target but another two-hit them from the side and the fast two shurikens now change their direction towards Naruto and move towards him with greater speed.
One of Naruto's hands is still behind his back and another is in his pocket. He didn't move nor dodge the shuriken.
Everyone is surprised by this. Some sneer and some think he is scared silly. Iruka is worried and angry too. Just when he was about to make a move something strange happened.
The two shurikens suddenly curved a little and passed Naruto's face from two sides.
Sasuke looked at his hand surprisingly and thought 'I missed?' It's also the same for everyone. A little girl in the crowd sighs in relief as she cleans the sweat from her forehead.
Sasuke gets out of his stupor and throws more shuriken. This time Naruto moves a little like Goku's ultra instinct and dodges all easily.
Everyone feels like they are watching a show more than a fight.
Sasuke becomes angry and takes out a kunai and runs towards him. He attacked his head with it. Naruto again tilted his head and dodge it.
*swash* *Swash* He moves faster and uses all the taijutsu he knows to fight Naruto. As for Naruto, he just keeps dodging with a smile.
Sasuke becomes angrier and starts to fight recklessly now. Naruto smiled and said, "you know that patience is the key to success right?"
Sasuke falls back. He takes a deep breath as his body is now covered with sweat.
Sasuke then start to make the hind signs and said
"fire release: Fireball Jutsu"
He spits out a pretty big fireball from his mouth.
Naruto already copied it. He also made the same hand sign and said
"Fire style: True Fireball Jutsu"
He added an extra name to it. He also spits out a fireball from his mouth. But this one is 5 times bigger than Sasuke.
The two fireballs collided. Naruto's fireball completely devoured Sasuke's fireball and continued to shoot toward him.
Sasuke looks at this blankly and forgets to dodge it. Iruka didn't waste a single second and appeared beside Sasuke. He grabs him and his body flickers from there.
Naruto again learns another new technique. With his perfect recall and instructive Muscle memories, it's like He has an instant mastery skill.
All the students in the crowd look at Naruto with wide eyes. Their jaws drop to the ground as they look at Naruto's fireball hitting a tree.
*boom*
The whole tree got obliterated from its place.
When they see it they gulp some saliva and their body is covered with sweat.
Iruka is also quiet and feels lost as he looks at the obliterated ground.
Naruto stands there lazily still with one hand in his pocket. He turns around and walks out of the circle of confrontation.
Everyone moves aside and gives him a space to go at the back. Naruto stands beside Shikamaru who has already come out of his lazy nature and observes naruto suspiciously.
Sakura ran towards Iruka sensei and asked "Is he okay, sensei?"
Iruka and Sasuke both came out of their stupor when they heard her loud voice. They look at her for a few seconds.
Iruka looked at Sasuke Questioningly. Sasuke replied expressionlessly "I am fine." He then looks at Naruto in the crowd, gets up and leaves the training ground without saying anything else.
