Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Sasuke! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Shirokumo Aoba looked at Sasuke and shouted back.

However, upon hearing this, Sasuke slowed down his forward movement, his eyes filled with confusion.

Baiyun Qingye's behavior today seems a bit unusual.

Tenten and her two companions, who were originally surrounding Sakura, were also stunned for a moment.

In that moment of hesitation, Sakura seized the opportunity to escape the encirclement.

The three of them immediately realized what was happening, but when they looked over, they found that Sakura had already hidden on the other side of Shirokumo Aoba.

Seeing that Tenten and the other two were about to arrest Sakura, in order to divert their attention, Shirakumo Aoba walked directly towards Sasuke.

"Are you... alright?"

Sasuke stopped and looked at the other person suspiciously.

In the past, Baiyun Qingye always seemed to ignore his challenges, so why is she so enthusiastic today?

Is this a trap?

And when Shirokumo Aoba stood not far from Sasuke.

A melancholy expression appeared on his face, subtly altering his overall demeanor.

"Sasuke, over the past year, among my peers, I have sought an opponent but have not found one, sought a worthy adversary but have not found one, sought a defeat but have not found one. It has been a truly lonely and unbearable time."

"Therefore, I have always regarded you as my greatest rival, my nemesis, and my best friend. Now that you have awakened the Sharingan, I hope that today's battle will allow me to fully enjoy myself!"

Looking at Baiyun Qingye, he had a lonely and melancholy expression, as if he were at the top and felt isolated.

Ino and Sakura, both with a penchant for infatuation, couldn't hold back any longer. They cupped their faces in their hands, their eyes sparkling with hearts.

Hinata and Tenten's faces also flushed slightly, because Shirakumo Aoba was always very gentle, considerate, optimistic and cheerful.

He rarely showed this melancholy feeling, and this contrast immediately struck the hearts of the four women.

As for interrogating Sakura, that's a secondary concern now, and we've temporarily put it out of the picture.

There are advantages to girls in the ninja world maturing early.

Sasuke's body also trembled slightly. It wasn't that he thought Shirayuki Aoba was handsome, but rather that he was excited and thrilled!

For most children Sasuke's age, the approval of others is very important, especially the approval of the strong in their minds.

He never expected that the opponent he once regarded as unattainable would value him so much.

How could this not excite him?

"call--"

Sasuke clenched his fists, let out a long breath, and his expression became serious, but the confidence and arrogance in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

A tomoe appeared in each of his eyes as he said, "Baiyun Qingye, before this, you were also my greatest rival."

"In the past few months, neither of us has won a single battle, but from now on, it's the aliens' turn to attack and defend!"

"With the power of the Uchiha clan, defeating you is a piece of cake! This is the invincible Sharingan, the most powerful force of the Uchiha clan!"

Bai Yun Qingye tried her best to control the expression on her face to prevent herself from bursting out laughing.

Sasuke is clearly being bewitched by the power of the Sharingan and needs someone to wake him up and bring him back to his senses.

However, considering that the other party helped him resolve the crisis in the embarrassing situation, he will be gentler when he takes action later, ensuring that he is stunned but not mentally damaged.

"In that case, let me witness the power of the Sharingan!"

Baiyun Qingye moved a few steps to the side, away from Tiantian and the others, to avoid accidentally hurting them.

Uchiha Sasuke snorted and moved a little closer to Shirokumo Aoba's position.

You'll see soon enough!

"Wait, it seems we've all forgotten something."

As they were walking, Baiyun Qingye suddenly remembered something.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.

"You forgot, you have to pay to spar with me."

"..."

Sasuke clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage as he looked at Shirokumo Aoba.

We were supposed to be each other's biggest rivals, nemesis, and best friends.

Why do I have to pay to have a friendly spar?

The crucial issue, the key issue is, he was in a bit of a rush when he went out today and forgot to bring any money…

"I didn't bring any money with me today, so I'll owe you some and pay you double tomorrow."

Baiyun Qingye gave him a "you're teachable" look and couldn't help but explain.

"Sasuke, I'm asking you for money because it's for your own good."

"?"

"Are you...are you sure?"

Sasuke's eyes widened, feeling that the other party seemed a bit too shameless.

White clouds and green leaves gently guide and inspire.

"Of course, look at your current personality. In the future, once you have a little bit of strength, you will definitely think you are very powerful, and then you will easily provoke others without realizing it."

"If I encounter someone with a good temper like myself, it's fine; I'll just take a small amount of money. But if I encounter someone with a particularly bad temper, getting a beating is the least of my worries; in more serious cases, I might even lose my life."

"I want you to understand that provoking someone without knowing their strength or having any intelligence will come at a price. You're still young, so this is like paying for a lesson. The more you suffer, the more experience you gain, and the less reckless you'll be in the future."

"You're actually benefiting from this loss, understand?"

The thought of Sasuke causing a ruckus at the Five Kage Summit after acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan made Shirakumo Aoba want to laugh.

That was one of the worst beatings Erzhuzi had ever received.

It's also because Onoki and his group didn't have any information about Obito Uchiha, otherwise they would have been killed the moment they showed their faces.

Is...is that so?

Baiyun Qingye said a lot, and Sasuke was a little confused. Although he felt that something was wrong, his tone of voice already carried some apology.

"Then I'll give you a little more tomorrow."

Although Baiyun Qingye's expression remained unchanged, she was already secretly delighted.

He originally just wanted to make up a few things, but he didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

As expected, the Uchiha clan is just simple-minded and easily fooled. I should be nicer to Sasuke in the future and stop teasing him; he's not exactly smart to begin with.

"I'm glad you understand my good intentions. Let's begin!"

The white clouds and green leaves are all in position.

Sasuke's eyes lit up, and he immediately put his mind to it, ignoring the loopholes in the other person's words.

The battle was exhilarating!

"Then let's go!"

Sasuke reached into his ninja tool pouch.

"Wait a moment!"

In the woods, a blond-haired man nimbly moved among the branches, and in a few breaths he had jumped between Sasuke and Shirakumo Aoba.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

When Sasuke saw Naruto appear, he became murderous again.

"This……"

Naruto had originally wanted to show off, but he was startled by Sasuke's gaze as soon as he arrived.

Immediately lower your gaze. Uncle Kai had told him that when fighting a ninja with Sharingan, as long as you don't look into the opponent's eyes, determine your attack method by observing the enemy's body, and then make sure the opponent can't keep up with your speed.

It sounded so simple that Naruto regained his confidence.

"Sasuke, I told you, if you want to challenge Aoba, you'll have to get past me first!"

"Then I'll grant your wish!"

Sasuke stared directly at Naruto with his scarlet eyes, his gaze fierce, and he rushed towards Naruto impatiently.

"bring it on!"

Naruto also rushed forward.

"Leaf Whirlwind... Ah!"

boom!

Naruto had barely lifted his leg when he was sent flying.

"..."

The scene was completely silent.
