Naruto: I was reborn as Uchiha Sasuke

Chapter 14 Before the Chunin Exams (Part )

On February 64, 2, the bright and dazzling sunshine poured down on every inch of Konoha Village without reservation, as if covering the entire village with a layer of gorgeous golden dress. The gentle breeze blew slowly, bringing the unique freshness and warmth of early spring, shuttling through the village like a smart elf, injecting Konoha Village with full vitality and vigor.

However, for Uchiha Sasuke, this day has a completely different and special meaning, because only one day later, the much-anticipated Chunin Exam will begin.

After careful consideration, Sasuke decided to temporarily put aside the high-intensity and strict training today and give his exhausted body a rare chance to breathe. At this moment, he slowly walked to a lush and verdant tree and sat down gently. Surrounded by green grass and gorgeous wild flowers, he had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his thoughts were like flying catkins, disorganized but continuous.

Thinking of Kakashi, he couldn't help but curl his lips and complained in his heart: "Kakashi is so helpless! He actually got the medical ninja and Kurenai here and then ran away. He ran away so quickly, which is really infuriating and funny." However, even though he complained, Sasuke knew that Kakashi had no idea about the collapse plan that Konoha was about to face, and it was impossible for him to predict the extremely cruel and unprecedented Fourth Ninja World War four years later. He thought to himself: "Forget it, Kakashi also has his considerations. I'd better focus on my own preparation."

Now, after the mission in Wave Country and more than a month of training and learning, he, Naruto and Sakura have all qualified as Chunin in terms of strength and mentality, and it is understandable that Kakashi teacher asked everyone to relax.

During this tense and critical period, Sasuke devoted a whole week of precious time to follow the Red Shiki Senior Ninja and delve into the use and techniques of illusions. He was fully focused, not blinking, not missing any details, and firmly memorizing the key points taught by the Red Shiki Senior Ninja. At the same time, he nodded slightly from time to time, skillfully integrating this new knowledge with Uchiha Shisui's training experience, constantly thinking and summarizing.

After repeated consideration and deliberation, Sasuke carefully planned his own strategy for actual combat: the unique ability of the Sharingan, a variety of exquisite ninjutsu, flexible physical skills and a variety of ninja tools, in order to achieve seamless connection and perfect coordination with each other, while illusions serve as auxiliary means to produce unexpected effects at critical moments.

During this period, Sasuke spent most of his time sparring with Hyuga Neji. Naruto and Sakura were relatively inferior at this time, and could not be compared with Sasuke and Neji. During the sparring with Neji, Sasuke kept moving his body, erratic like a ghost. He sometimes flew up to avoid Neji's swift and fierce attacks. At the same time, he was constantly practicing and testing his own strategies for using illusions, and making subtle adjustments and optimizations according to the actual situation.

However, deep in Sasuke's heart, there are some little-known thoughts. He secretly thought: After all, according to various signs and his own judgment, the possibility that Naruto will stand on the opposite side of him in the later period is too great. Such a huge risk must not be taken rashly. In contrast, it is Neji who has a certain chance of being drawn into his camp. At the same time, he also clearly realized that Naruto's growth rate has far surpassed Naruto of the same period in the original work. Coupled with the terrifying power of the Nine-Tails in his body, once Neji faces Naruto in the Chunin Exam, Neji may only be defeated at a faster speed. He couldn't help but think worriedly: "If Naruto really becomes my enemy, it will be a big trouble."

Not only that, during the sparring with Neji, Sasuke also specifically informed Neci of the information about the powerful strength of the tailed beasts, so that he could understand it in advance and make full mental preparations.

Sasuke slowly stopped thinking, took a deep breath, and stood up. He found Neji and told him, "No actual combat training today." Then, he hurriedly decided to find Naruto and Sakura, planning to have a sparring match with them, and then have a good rest to maintain sufficient energy for the upcoming Chunin Exam.

Sasuke quickly found Naruto and Sakura and told them his thoughts without reservation. Thus, the last ninja sparring before the Chunin Exam of Team 7 started vigorously. Perhaps, this was also the last time Team 7 would spar in this form.

At the beginning of the sparring, Sasuke opened his Sharingan without hesitation, and his footsteps were like the wind, attacking Naruto with fierce physical skills. His figure was as fast as lightning, approaching Naruto in an instant, and his punches and kicks fell like a gust of wind and rain. Naruto reacted quickly, quickly dodged sideways, and at the same time used the Wind Style Fierce Wind Palm to fight back. Sasuke jumped flexibly to avoid the palm wind, thinking to himself: Naruto's physical skills have indeed improved, and he can also use the ninjutsu Wind Style Fierce Wind Palm and cooperate with the shadow clone to attack him.

However, at the current level, he is still slightly inferior to Neji. Thinking of this, Sasuke blinked decisively and used the Sharingan illusion to control Naruto's shadow clones, causing them to stop attacking. Those shadow clones were instantly frozen in place, and Sasuke took the opportunity to quickly kill them one by one. At the same time, he waved his arm, and several shurikens flew out, using the shurikens to restrain Naruto's hand seals.

Naruto was forced to stop making hand seals, and Sasuke approached Naruto in an instant with the instant body movement technique, and kicked Naruto to the ground with a fierce physical attack. At this moment, Sasuke made an evaluation of Naruto in his heart: he knew how to use tactics, which was worthy of recognition, but his hand seal speed was still a little slow. Perhaps Naruto was more suitable for the Rasengan, and the Fierce Wind Palm was still a little lacking in quality. He couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Naruto, you still have to work harder."

After the sparring, everyone took photos. Sasuke even wrote in his diary: Today Naruto was defeated by me again.

Next, when facing Sakura, Sasuke mainly gave guidance. After all, Sakura's chakra was not much. Until Shippuden, Sakura's chakra was only 5, while Kakashi had 6. Therefore, the sparring with Sakura was basically the practice of physical skills and ninja tools.

After the sparring, Sasuke returned to the Nanga Shrine. He sat there quietly, his hands on his knees, his mind full of complicated thoughts. After a while, he slowly stood up and began to pack up the various items needed for the Chunin Exam. He carefully checked each item to make sure nothing was missed. Then, he sealed the detonating tags, kunai and other ninja tools one by one into a special sealing scroll and sealed it carefully. After doing all this, Sasuke took out another sealing scroll and gently opened it. It contained the ashes of the dead members of the Uchiha clan on the night the clan was exterminated.

Sasuke stared at the ashes silently, with a trace of undisguised sadness in his eyes. He slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked the urns, as if he could feel their presence and warmth. Finally, he carefully put away the sealed scroll and put it in his backpack. He secretly vowed: "I must avenge my people and make those murderers pay a heavy price."
