Few Hours Later
"Sasuke, there are three genin hiding in the building seventy meters away. Should I take care of them myself? Your chakra is running low."
"You take care of them... I will come with you as well. After this, we can take a rest for a few hours."
Three Minutes Later
"We are poisoned." Shikamaru opened his eyes and said quietly.
"What did you sa— ouch." Ino, hearing this, tried to stand up but fell midway.
"So, it's acquaintances, huh?" Just then, Sasuke, along with Shion, appeared in the room.
"SAsuk...." Ino, seeing Sasuke appear, said in surprise, but seeing Choji's face, Ino quietened down. On the second Nine-Tails night, Choji's father unfortunately passed away, and the Uchiha clan was the mastermind behind this.
"I do not want to kill you myself. Just quit by yourselves."
Sasuke, seeing the familiar faces, reminded them with kindness.
Red Pill - Partial Expansion Jutsu
The next moment, Choji, who had eaten the forbidden red pill of his clan, broke free from the butterfly poison and punched towards Sasuke with his now hundredfold power increase.
Seeing the ten meter wide fist moving towards him, Sasuke shook his head.
"It seems you still don't know the gap between us."
Lightning Clone: Explode
Butterfly Clone: Erupt
The next moment, Sasuke exploded into pure lightning, eliminating Shikamaru and Ino at once while paralyzing Choji. Shion also scattered into hundreds of colorful butterflies, which landed on the paralyzed Choji, who was also eliminated the next moment because of extreme poison.
"Eating such drugs recklessly at the cost of life just for some competition.... Konoha is really good at brainwashing its ninjas."
Sasuke, who had to waste his lightning clone, said with arrogance.
"Sasuke, the clan leader of the Akimichi clan was killed by the Nine-Tails a few years ago. He is his son, so maybe he wanted to take revenge against you."
Seeing Sasuke being clueless about it, Shion explained. In the previous round, Choji was one of the best ninja from Konoha, so she had investigated him.
"So it's revenge, huh... the Uchiha clan is always welcome to it."
After saying it, Sasuke started walking to their hideout. He had already placed the required Fūinjutsu, like Chakra Concealment, Sensory Barrier, and Illusion Array, there, so unless met with a very skilled ninja, this place was the ideal place for rest.

Few Hours Later
"Sasuke, one Iwagakure ninja is taking care of one ninja after another and is heading in our direction. Should we avoid him or set traps?"
Shion, seeing Sasuke wake up, asked him while communicating with her butterflies.
"What's the information about him?"
"He is Ryu, a prodigy from Iwagakure, age fifteen, with mastery in Earth and Lightning Style Chakra. Although he hasn't created a bloodline limit yet, he can basically be confirmed to create one in the future, with Jonin-level strength."
"What's his point total?"
"Hmm.... 290."
Hearing this, Sasuke looked at his 212 points and confirmed his decision. He couldn't let such a threat roam free.
"I will fight him while you take care of anyone who interferes. Also, get som... Can you do it?"
"Unless there are too many busybodies or Jonin-level participants, I can take care of the task."
"Okay, remember, safety first."
With that, Sasuke disappeared from the room, moving towards the location of Ryu while awakening his Sharingan. Night had already set in this dimension, so having a Sharingan was a much better advantage than during the day.
Few Minutes Later
Chidori Style: Chidori Body Flow
Sasuke, seeing Ryu standing in the center of the street, entered Chidori mode, with lightning covering his body and making it glow in the utter darkness.
"Little brother of Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke. You are a good target before defeating your brother."
Ryu, seeing Sasuke, said with a smile while his body was covered with earth armor, especially his arms, which now looked like those of a transformer.
"You want to defeat my brother?"
"Yes, that's my dream. You can laugh if you wan—"
"An admirable dream.... I also want to defeat my brother. As for laughing at you, my brother once said that a man shouldn't laugh at another's dream."
Seeing Sasuke acknowledge his dream, Ryu became a little excited.
"I am Ryu, the disciple of Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki... in the past few years, the only thing I hate about him is his fear..... fear of the Uchiha. I understand his concerns, but to fear an entire clan so much is a shame to the Tsuchikage position. That's why I want to defeat him and bring back the pride of Iwagakure and the Tsuchikage."
"Although I respect your reason and dream, before that you have to defeat me. Then, let's fight."
The next moment, Sasuke disappeared from his position, appearing in front of Ryu and punching towards his chest. Ryu, seeing this, also punched with his two-meter-long and thirty-centimeter-wide hand.
BOOM
'Strong.'
Sasuke, feeling the numbing sensation in his hand, thought to himself as he went for an upper kick. Ryu, seeing this, once again blocked it while chopping his other hand towards Sasuke's neck. Seeing this, Sasuke used the force of Ryu's leg to push backward as he threw multiple lightning balls towards him.
Ryu, seeing this, rushed towards Sasuke while ignoring the lightning balls colliding with the thick earth armor.
'Lightning is effective against Earth Chakra Nature.... it isn't working here.... so this is an almost successful bloodline limit, huh.'
Earth Style: Earth Hammer
The next moment, the two arms of Ryu punched towards Sasuke while the earth armor covering them became bigger and heavier.
Chidori Body Flow — Flash
Sasuke, seeing this, used Flash and appeared ten meters away in an instant.
Fire Style: Falling Embers
Seeing Ryu still coming like a human tank, Sasuke spat multiple small fireballs, each targeting a different body part.
Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullets
Lightning Style: Lightning Wolf
Lightning Style: Absolute Darkness
Fire Style: Phoenix Flames
In the next five minutes, Sasuke spammed one jutsu after another while Ryu dodged or smashed them while trying to get close to Sasuke.
"Let's level up."
Lightning Style: Lightning Beam
Ryu smiled as, the next moment, his cannon-shaped pompadour lit up and blasted a beam of white-blue light towards Sasuke.
Lightning Style: Lightning Cage
Sasuke, seeing the fast beam approaching, formed a Thunder Cage around him, stopping the beam as he left the area.
Chidori Style: Chidori Spear
The next moment, Sasuke threw the spear towards Ryu's head.
Earth Lightning Combined Style: Lightning Cannon
Seeing Sasuke form a Chidori Spear and throw it towards him, Ryu, feeling the threat, used half of his chakra to form an earth cannon and then pointed it towards Sasuke.
RUMBLE
The next moment, the Chidori Spear pierced through the chakra beam, but the farther it went, the slower it became.
Boommm
Finally, a few seconds later, the Chidori Spear was destroyed, but by now the beam of light was also exhausted.
"Sasukeee..... let's end this with this final attack."
As Ryu said this, he poured a huge amount of chakra into the cannon as the opening of the cannon started to shine brightly.
Lightning Spear Style: First Form: Thunder Cannon
Sasuke, seeing this, nodded as he formed a condensed Chidori Spear and rushed towards Ryu.
30m...20m...15m....13m...12m...11m...10m
The moment Sasuke reached ten meters away from Ryu, his speed exploded more than five times. At the same moment, the cannon had completed charging, and a huge beam of light, tens of meters wide and tall, rushed towards Sasuke, filling his entire view in bright blue.
The next millisecond, the blue beam of light collided with Sasuke's spear, but as if popping a balloon, Sasuke pierced through it uninterrupted.
'A feint?'
The next moment, Sasuke's spear pierced through Ryu, who, after a few seconds, turned into mud.
Earth Lightning Combined Style: Lightning Devastation Cannon
"Uchiha Sasuke, you can be proud that you forced me to do the final attack."
The next moment, Ryu's voice came from the next building as a bright blue light flashed towards Sasuke.
Before Sasuke could react, he was enveloped by the thick beam of light.
