Chapter 170 Can’t afford to lose

Uchiha clan.

Driving range.

"Chidori!" Sasuke lit up his hand and rushed towards Naruto quickly.

Naruto also made a ball with the help of his clone.

"Spiral pills!"

"boom!"

The two moves collided fiercely, causing a rumble and splashing of grass on the ground.

After a moment of stalemate, both of them flew out.

When Naruto landed, the shadow clone behind him caught him.

Sasuke stepped back repeatedly, but he ran into someone's arms.

Sasuke looked up and saw that it was his brother.

"Okay Sasuke, the competition is over."

Sasuke was very angry: "Naruto and I haven't decided the winner yet!"

Itachi looked at Sasuke's bloody arm.

"Is it?"

There was no wave in Itachi's tone, and then he grabbed Sasuke's left hand fiercely.

"Then can you still move your left hand?"

"what……"

Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his left hand.

"Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto quickly ran over after standing firm.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, I..." Naruto was a little at a loss when he saw Sasuke's left hand.

Sasuke saw that there were basically no injuries on Naruto's hands, and turned his head very angrily: "Don't worry about it!"

Before Itachi could say anything, a figure suddenly appeared next to Sasuke and hit Sasuke on the head with a violent shock.

It hit Sasuke so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"Why, can't you accept that you lost?" Xia Mu's voice sounded.

Natsuki looked down at Sasuke, his face hidden in the shadows, making his expression unclear.

Sasuke whispered: "Teacher..."

Naruto scratched his head beside him: "Natsuki-senpai..."

"Naruto, please stop talking." Natsuki stopped Naruto's words.

"You were fine when I left this afternoon, why are you fighting now?"

Sasuke pinched his painful left hand and turned his head away: "I discovered it last time. Naruto always gave in to me in previous competitions."

"So your Sharingan has evolved and you want to try it again?"

After hearing Natsuki's question, Sasuke didn't answer, just pouted.

Natsuki pinched the center of his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Naruto now had the emotional intelligence to watch people's emotions, and even deliberately lost to Sasuke.

Natsuki waved and called Naruto to his side: "Naruto, do you know you are wrong?"

"Ah...I...um..." Naruto hesitated, not knowing whether Natsuki hurt Sasuke because of him or because of something else.

Naruto gave up to Sasuke before to take care of Sasuke's self-esteem. He was afraid that if he won, Sasuke would be angry with him.

As a result, Sasuke wanted to compete with him again today no matter what, and said that if he kept his hand this time, he would never care about him.

That's why Sasuke was injured.

Naruto also felt a little aggrieved, with tears welling up in his eyes.

Natsuki sighed, probably guessing what Naruto was thinking.

He touched Naruto's head and said: "Naruto, partners can't hide or deceive each other. You are better than Sasuke now, will you always be better than Sasuke?"

"You deceived Sasuke and kept Sasuke immersed in false victory. It will only make him arrogant."

"Look." Natsuki pointed at Sasuke who turned away and secretly raised his ears to listen.

"Sasuke has defeated you too many times before, but now that he loses, he can't afford to lose."

Sasuke's face turned red after hearing this, and he couldn't help shouting: "Who said I can't afford to lose!"

Natsuki gave Sasuke another hard shudder: "You can afford to lose, but who are you standing there and turning your head to show?"

"The victory has been decided. Do you want me to teach you what to do?"

Sasuke reluctantly stretched out his right hand.

Naruto also reached out his hand and made a seal of reconciliation with Sasuke.

Natsuki winked at Naruto, who nodded and apologized sincerely to Sasuke.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I won't let you go next time."

After Sasuke finished forming the Seal of Reconciliation, he snorted: "Who wants you to give in? Next time, I will definitely defeat you."

"Okay, okay, you two always make me worry. You two go get me checked and treated by Shizune."

Natsuki rubbed their heads and asked them to go find Shizune.

"I understand, teacher, brother, I'm going to get treatment first."

Sasuke struggled twice, but Natsuki messed up his hair.

Naruto hugged Sasuke to express his intimacy and said, "Sasuke, next time we compete, how about a treat for the loser."

"Hmph, I will definitely win next time."

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you next time!"

"Don't let me..."

Seeing the two little ones go away, Itachi looked at Sasuke's left hand hanging down, but Naruto was not injured at all.

I couldn't help but ask Natsuki: "Clan leader, is there such a big gap between Sasuke and Naruto?"

Xia Mu's face was relatively calm: "What nonsense are you talking to me about? Don't call me clan leader, Shengfen."

Itachi gave a rare smile: "Yes, senior."

When Natsuki heard Itachi change his title, a smile appeared on his face.

"Sasuke is weaker than Naruto now, because Naruto's shadow clone training method has improved very rapidly."

"It's talent, there's nothing to say about it."

After all, no one can squander chakra like Naruto to create a bunch of shadow clones.

It can also resist the fatigue of the shadow clone.

"But..." Xia Mu changed the subject.

"Sasuke is not too far behind Naruto. You see that there are no wounds on Naruto's hands. It's because the Nine Tails in Naruto's body has healed Naruto's wounds."

"You used to be too doting on Sasuke, making him always think highly of himself. Fugaku's teachings in ninjutsu were pretty good, but he didn't pay attention to other aspects."

"Sasuke's weapon is too small, it's better to take some hits."

Itachi nodded, he had noticed it during the last competition between him and Sasuke.

Although Sasuke has made some progress in terms of strength, he still lacks a lot in terms of fighting consciousness and character.

Although Sasuke is considered very good at his age, compared to Naruto, he is still far behind.

Moreover, the ninja world is not peaceful now. Sasuke's early growth will also be a guarantee for his own safety.

"Don't worry about Sasuke's growth. If my prediction is correct, he will probably come to you in the evening to give him additional training."

"When the time comes, you can train him hard, but don't feel bad."

"Tsunade is still in the clan. If she doesn't die, it won't be a big deal."

Itachi nodded, it was time to train Sasuke properly.

……

Xia Mu is now used to leaving a shadow clone to work in the clan when she goes out.

Now that I walk into the office, the shadow clone is released.

Suddenly a lot of information rushed into my mind.

Natsuki pinched the center of his eyebrows. One shadow clone could process so much information. I really don't know how Naruto managed to get so much information out.

Xia Mu picked up the two more important documents on the table.

The first one was Uchiha who was sent to the kingdom of ghosts to send a message back. The witch Maitreya died, leaving only an orphan girl Shion.

Ziyuan did not learn the Time-Sealing Formation.

Natsuki thought for a moment.

Now that Maitreya is dead, Xia Mu's plan to seal the formation has been ruined.

I remember that Ziyuan's seal is very powerful, but she can't use it yet. She has to wait until she grows up.

But the daylilies were cold by then.

It seems that the Kingdom of Ghosts is getting no help.
