His tone was full of sincere apology, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the game and was only worried about his friend getting hurt.
It took Sasuke a long time to finally come to his senses.
He gritted his teeth, stood up unsteadily, and waved his hand, saying, "I...I'm fine."
He put on a brave front, but his complex gaze betrayed the shock he felt inside.
Not far away, Sakura had already run over and was now looking at Sasuke with concern, afraid that he had been seriously injured.
But Sasuke simply brushed away her hand that was trying to help him, stared intently at Naruto, and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Naruto tactfully withdrew his hand, but still with a hint of guilt, he said softly, "That's good. By the way, Sasuke-kun..."
He hesitated, seemingly confused.
"You even used your Sharingan during the fight just now, so why didn't you use any genjutsu? I've been on guard for a long time."
"Genjutsu?" Sasuke was taken aback, his mind still a little blank. "What genjutsu?"
He subconsciously asked back.
……
The audience was completely silent.
Everyone was deeply shocked by the fierce battle just now, and no one could speak for a long time.
A few seconds later, a series of exclamations erupted.
Naruto stared blankly at the now-blacked-out screen for a long time before snapping out of his daze.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he murmured softly, "Am I... really that strong?"
The power and skills he displayed in his dream had almost completely overturned Naruto's self-perception.
Various applications of Wind Release, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and taijutsu...
In my dream, he seemed to be proficient in everything.
Sasuke was beaten like a loser by his dream self.
This unexpected turn of events left Naruto feeling both shocked and conflicted, and he struggled to calm down for a long time.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
"This is incredible..." Sakura had recovered by now.
She recalled the scenes of Naruto fighting Sasuke in her dream, and it still felt like a dream.
"Is that really Naruto? He was completely dominating Sasuke the whole time..."
Kakashi slowly exhaled, looking at Naruto sitting absentmindedly on the seat, his eyes filled with both admiration and sighs.
I never expected this...
In the dream, Naruto not only knows Minato's techniques, but his fighting style also bears some resemblance to Jiraiya.
With a character like him, it's no wonder Sasuke lost.
Chapter 45 Even you can't do it, Sassa!
The audience seats, deep in darkness.
Shi Yu, hidden in the shadows, flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Naruto's performance in the dream was simply too outstanding.
Compared to the bottom-of-the-class student who just graduated from the Ninja Academy in the original work, the Naruto on the screen now looks like he has returned from training with Jiraiya two years later.
He effortlessly used various high-difficulty ninjutsu and defeated Sasuke with ease; such strength is truly astonishing.
Shi Yu couldn't help but praise it.
It seems that in the original work, Kurama was indeed a burden to Naruto in the early stages.
Naruto himself has no shortage of chakra and his physical abilities are top-notch, but because the Nine-Tails is sealed inside him, not only is his own chakra constantly being diverted to maintain the seal, but the chakra leaked by the Nine-Tails also interferes with his control over his own chakra.
In addition, without any guidance, it was wasted for many years.
Without these constraints, Naruto's strength would be completely different.
Shiyu brought up the system panel.
[This time, the dream-fulfilling recipient is: Uchiha Sasuke]
[Viewers: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake]
[Total Emotion Points Gain: 28900!]
[Current sentiment score balance: 110150 points!]
Shi Yu nodded in satisfaction.
These past two days, thanks to Naruto's resentment, the profits have been quite good.
He casually opened the system level interface.
[Current Dream Fulfillment Level: Level 2 (164650/200000)]
Great, I only need two more days to accumulate enough emotion points to meet the upgrade requirements.
What kind of upgrade options will be unlocked then?
There are three options to choose from, which is really something to look forward to...
The next morning.
Sasuke woke up from his dream, fragments of the previous night's dream still echoing in his mind.
He rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Illusion?"
In the final moments of the dream, Naruto's words lingered like a beautiful melody.
As the Sharingan is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke knew a little about it.
The Sharingan possesses powerful abilities such as observation, copying, and hypnosis. Its user has superhuman insight, can see through and cast genjutsu, and can copy taijutsu and non-bloodline limit ninjutsu.
However, the night he awakened his Sharingan was the day his entire clan was wiped out. After that, no one taught him any genjutsu training, and the scrolls left in his family were only basic fire-style techniques.
No wonder Naruto asked that question in the dream.
Could it be that the "self" in the dream can use Sharingan genjutsu?
Sasuke's heart skipped a beat.
That's true. The Uchiha clan in my dream is perfectly fine. I grew up in the clan since I was a child, with my father and brother guiding me. Why shouldn't I know genjutsu?
Sasuke thought about it more and more and felt that last night's dream was unusual, and he clenched his fists slightly.
I recalled Naruto's words in my dream.
"Why haven't you used any illusions? I've been on guard for a long time."
Sasuke's expression was somewhat complicated.
In the dream, Naruto actually believed that he should know genjutsu...
Is this really a fictional dream?
Sasuke was in a state of utter confusion, and for a moment he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his doubts, and decided to stop thinking about it.
He currently has no way to learn illusion magic, so he'll just have to take it one step at a time.
On the other side, Naruto also jumped out of bed.
He stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, still half asleep, when he suddenly remembered the various scenes from his dream last night, and he instantly became much more awake.
"Wow--"
Naruto couldn't help but gasp in surprise; the scene in his dream still seemed unbelievable to him.
That confident, composed, and unhurried guy who could use all sorts of ninjutsu with ease—it was actually me!
Thinking of this, Naruto became even more excited. He jumped off the bed, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I never thought I was so powerful in my dream! Sasuke was no match for me at all! As expected of me! Hahaha!"
Laughter echoed in the empty apartment. Naruto was extremely proud, as if he were the one who had defeated Sasuke the night before.
I've laughed enough.
Naruto had a sudden inspiration, and suddenly flipped over and jumped onto the bed, striking the same cool pose he had in his dream the night before.
He quickly formed several hand seals, then waved his hand with an air of profound wisdom.
With a "whoosh," one of the shurikens flew out.
He shouted in the same tone as last night, "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
Of course, the spectacular scene of countless shuriken shadows and clones did not occur.
There was only a lone shuriken stuck straight against the wall.
But he didn't care at all.
"Wow...that's so cool! The me in my dream is so handsome!"
Naruto, his face filled with rapture, began to imitate the moves he had seen in his dream, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
He took a deep breath and puffed out his cheeks.
A burst of air shot forward with a whoosh.
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
Unfortunately, he didn't know any real wind-style ninjutsu, so his breath only caused the curtains to flutter slightly and didn't cause any damage.
Naruto, still carefree, struck the same spinning kick pose he used to send Sasuke flying the night before, chuckling to himself as if he were actually creating a whirlwind of air beneath his feet.
He gestured around in the cramped room for quite a while, having a great time.
After making a ruckus for a while, Naruto finally stopped, panting, and slumped back onto the bed.
After a brief moment of excitement, the room fell silent again, and Naruto's expression gradually darkened.
