Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

"Uchiha Sora versus Sarutobi Asuma".

After multiple rounds of battles, the final exam was once again the turn of Uchiha Sora.

As for the opponent, it's someone we know, a friend, namely Old Ma, whom we're familiar with.

The boy before me had long black hair. He wore black clothes with dark red markings on his shoulders and back, and the emblem of the Land of Fire on his waist.

Uchiha Sora stood with his hands in his pockets, a faint smile in his eyes, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi's son.

The young Sarutobi Asuma lacked the gentleness of his future self; instead, he possessed sharp eyes and an untamed spirit, befitting the pride of his era and identity.

The two didn't immediately start fighting upon meeting; instead, they began chatting casually.

"Asuma, it's been a while." Uchiha Sora spoke first.

Asuma's arrogance faded. He shook his arm and twisted his neck. "Yeah, I didn't beat you last time, so I've been training hard these past few days."

When the two graduated from the Ninja Academy, Asuma was very dissatisfied with Uchiha Sora and challenged him to a duel.

As a result, Asuma got beaten up.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora pulled up his collar and said helplessly, "Asuma, there's really no need to compare yourself to me."

"What do you mean? You look down on me?" Asuma clenched his fists and glared at her.

After a moment of surprise, Uchiha Sora was speechless. That was clearly not what he meant. How could Asuma interpret it that way?

Sigh, it seems Asuma still has a long way to go before he can become that gentle person of the future.

Yumeno and the other looked at the two men as if they were old friends, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. One was a genius of the Uchiha clan, and the other was the son of the Third Hokage. He... couldn't afford to offend them.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly twice, reminding the two that it was the Chunin Exams.

Asuma assumed a punching stance, and a chakra blade formed from chakra appeared in his hand.

"Kong, come and see the results of my cultivation."

Uchiha Sora nodded and drew a kunai from his waist.

In an instant, Asuma appeared beside him in a flash, his chakra blade drawing a perfect arc in the air.

Ding--!

A crisp collision sound rang out.

Feeling the powerful force in his hand, Uchiha Sora made a judgment in his mind.

Asuma's training over this period has resulted in a significant improvement in both his control over chakra and his power.

I can barely keep up...

She sighed softly.

Sure enough, he did have a significant deficiency in terms of strength.

But it doesn't matter. The Uchiha are not like those barbarians in Kumogakure who train their biceps every day. What the Uchiha compete with is the Sharingan, their "cheat code".

Uchiha Sora, on the other hand, had an even more powerful cheat code.

Press with one thumb,

Secret Scroll: Protective Shuriken!

In an instant, two shuriken flew out from his sleeves and began to spin rapidly around him.

Asma was startled, but reacted very quickly.

"Chakra Blade Combo Slash!"

He swung his chakra blades rapidly with both hands, constantly colliding with the shuriken.

The crackling sounds continued incessantly, and sweat slowly seeped from Asuma's forehead. He wanted to finish the fight quickly, but he couldn't deal with the two shuriken.

The rain soaked the two boys' hair; the raindrops evaporated the instant they touched the chakra.

Uchiha Sora narrowed his eyes, formed hand seals, and gathered chakra from his entire body to his chest, forming the Uchiha clan's signature tiger seal.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

There's a reason why the Great Fireball Technique is jokingly called the "indestructible technique."

The moment Asuma unleashed the fireball, his expression changed. He abandoned his attempt to break through the protective shuriken and instead quickly created distance.

With a loud boom, water vapor condensed into a thick mist amidst continuous hissing sounds.

The two returned to the initial distance.

Uchiha Sora was completely unharmed, just like before.

Asma coughed twice suddenly, looking disheveled.

The two seemed to be using a variety of moves and fighting for a long time, but in reality, it only took a few breaths.

On the rest platform,

Although Kurenai Yuhi verbally cursed Uchiha Sora, she was actually cheering him on.

"Kong! Keep it up!"

Obito curled his lip. "With Sora's strength, does he really need to work harder? Anyway, that summoning dog can just use its signature summoning jutsu; this battle will be over in a second."

Yes, Uchiha Sora's strongest technique is his incredibly powerful summoning jutsu.

While they were still learning the Shadow Clone Technique, they accidentally discovered that Sora had summoned a toad bigger than a house using the Summoning Jutsu.

They knew that Sora was a monster.

"I don't know what Asuma was thinking, daring to challenge Ku?" Obito muttered to himself.

"Does Asuma know about the Summoning Technique?" Lin suddenly asked.

These words caused an immediate and awkward silence to fall over the room.

After a long pause, Obito stuck out his tongue.

"It seems, perhaps, maybe, I don't know, but on the day Sora summoned the summoning beast, Asuma seemed to have been called away by the Third Hokage. Did you tell Asuma about it afterward?"

"No." Kurenai Yuhi shook her head.

"I don't have any either," Lin shook her head.

"My only goal is to surpass Kakashi." Might Guy's eyes were full of youth.

……

Asma was too arrogant in his youth, and his relationship with others was somewhat complicated.

"Haha..." Obito chuckled awkwardly, "It seems Asuma doesn't know about Ku's summoning jutsu. No wonder he was thinking of defeating Ku..."

Everyone stopped talking and tacitly looked down at the fierce battle raging below.

Or rather, Asma was working tirelessly all by himself.

"Ku! Don't hold back, let me see your true strength!" Asuma shouted sternly, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

"Shadow Clone Technique".

In an instant, three Asumas, wielding chakra blades, charged towards Uchiha Sora.

Seeing Asuma charging from three different directions, Uchiha Sora's lips curled up, and he did a backflip to create some distance.

"Since Asuma is so interested, I'll naturally grant your wish."

Having said that, he slapped the ground with his right hand, and instantly, black runes spread rapidly like a spider web.

"Spiritual Communicator: Blue Serpent"

Several loud bangs,

More than a dozen thick, blue serpents, as thick as water columns, emerged from the ground, enveloping the flying dust and gravel, dancing wildly and tearing at everything around them.

Two plop sounds,

The two shadow clones were mercilessly torn apart by the long snakes, while the last original body abruptly stopped its charge, staring blankly at the group of blue snakes in front of it.

After a long silence, he dispelled the chakra blade in his hand and turned to walk towards the exit.

"Uh, the battle isn't over yet," Chunin Yumeno reminded him.

Asuma roared, "Attack! Attack! What the hell is this?! What kind of thing did this summoning produce?!"

Chunin Yumeno choked a little, and looking at the blue lights swirling in the air, she fell silent.

Can he beat this thing? He wasn't sure; he probably couldn't.

He cleared his throat twice and announced the results.

"Uchiha Kujou."

……

"Hahaha, did you guys see how furious Asuma was? Fighting, fighting, fighting! What's the point of even fighting?!" Obito repeated, mimicking Asuma's tone.

I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"If Asuma knew you were talking behind his back, he'd definitely come after you," Kurenai said with a laugh. "Asuma can't beat Sora, but he's more than capable of beating you."

Obito's expression froze, then he said angrily, "Once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll be ahead of all of you."

This future fact caused everyone to burst into laughter...

The Chunin Exams thus came to a quiet and joyful end.

This also means that,

Their generation is about to step onto the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War...

As the sun set, Nara Shizuku stood on the rooftop, silently watching the departing boy's retreating figure, his eyes filled with melancholy.

"Uchiha..."
