Konoha: I Have a Gravity Training room

At this moment, in the rocky area.

Natsuki stood on a large rock holding a short sword, vigilantly looking at Sasuke and Neji.

The two of them didn't make a rash move but slowly circled around Natsuki, trying to find a weakness. They didn't launch an attack for a long time.

Watching from not far away were Tenten, Shino, and Sakura.

Tenten casually asked, "Sakura, no missions lately? I heard your coordination with Ino and Choji isn't great yet. If you have time, you should take more missions and coordinate more, or train together. If your coordination doesn't improve, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in the upcoming Chunin Exams."

Sakura's expression stiffened, and she said with a forced smile, "Well, there haven't been any missions lately. I was studying at the hospital before, and I just happened to be resting, so I came to see Sasuke-kun."

As she spoke, her gaze fixed on Sasuke, and her face turned slightly red.

Tenten blinked, wondering if this pink-haired girl was seriously ill.

She naturally saw that Sakura liked Sasuke, but she didn't think this way of liking someone was right. Even though romance was important, getting stronger should come first.

Just like herself, although she was very attached to Natsuki, she never neglected missions, training, or anything else.

She wanted to become stronger, to stand by Natsuki's side, to fight alongside him, to face dangers together, and to protect Natsuki when necessary. This was her way of liking him.

But looking at Sakura, she just kept shaking her head.

Sasuke carried the hatred of his clan's massacre and was single-mindedly focused on getting stronger, with no time for romance.

Sakura didn't know if she understood. If she truly understood and truly liked Sasuke, then she should work harder to become stronger so that she could help Sasuke in the future. That would be the right thing to do.

If Sakura continued like this, she would only be left further and further behind by Sasuke, eventually unable to even see his back, let alone get him to notice her.

However, Tenten had no intention of interfering in other people's relationships, so she remained silent.

Shino also glanced at Sakura. His eyes behind the sunglasses were strange, but he didn't offer any advice.

This was Sakura's business. They weren't very familiar with Sakura and had no right to tell her what to do. How to proceed was naturally up to Sakura herself.

At this moment, the atmosphere became tense.

Seeing that the two weren't attacking, Natsuki chose to make a decisive move.

He used Lightning Flash to appear in front of Neji, his short sword heading straight for Neji's shoulder.

Neji had already activated his Byakugan and reacted immediately. He unleashed the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms, his palms wildly striking forward, but Natsuki flashed away again.

The next second, he had already appeared behind Sasuke, swinging his short sword down.

"I can see you!"

Sasuke raised his short sword to block, formed a hand seal with one hand, and spat out a large Fireball at close range. Its speed was incredibly fast.

Natsuki couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Sasuke to have mastered one-handed hand seals. It was indeed a bit unexpected, but his speed was still faster, and he dodged away first.

Neji also took the opportunity to rush forward, continuing the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms that he hadn't finished.

The Eight Trigrams Palm actually only had sixty-four palms, but Neji doubled it, making it more refined and faster. Coupled with the Byakugan, he launched high-speed palm strikes that made it impossible to defend against.

Sasuke also attacked from behind. His short sword's speed was already almost on par with Natsuki's.

Natsuki smiled lightly and used Lightning Flash again to dodge. His Lightning Flash was still faster; Neji and Sasuke couldn't catch up.

"Now, you two are very close, so let's go big!"

Natsuki landed not far away and said with a smile, quickly forming hand seals and spitting out several huge lightning spears, "Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

Both of their expressions changed: "Not good! It's that old monster's Ninjutsu!"

Then they decisively dodged with all their might. The next second, they heard a loud bang. The spot where they had been standing was blown into a giant pit. If they had been any slower, they would have been seriously injured or even killed!

"Hehe, this is how it should be to be interesting!" Neji rubbed his shoulder, which had been affected by the lightning. It really hurt.

"Indeed, it gives me a feeling similar to facing that old monster back then."

Sasuke became excited, "Natsuki, I didn't expect you to learn Kakuzu's Lightning Release. Your talent is as terrifying as ever."

Natsuki chuckled: "Kakuzu was forming hand seals at that time. I saw it clearly. Sasuke, couldn't your Sharingan see it clearly? Do you want me to teach you Earth Style: Head Hunter Technique?"

Sasuke shook his head, stuck his short sword aside, and silently began forming hand seals: "No need for you to teach me. How could I not learn such a powerful Ninjutsu? Fire Release: Head Hunter Technique!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He spat out a large area of flames. Although it couldn't compare to Kakuzu's power, it was still quite impressive.

Sakura's eyes immediately sparkled: "Sasuke-kun is amazing!"

Tenten, however, looked at Shino: "Is this that old monster's Ninjutsu?"

Shino nodded: "Yes... At that time, Kakuzu continuously used Five Element Ninjutsu, covering an area that almost encompassed the sky and earth, terrifying us all.

But we didn't expect that Natsuki and Sasuke would secretly learn the hand seals and even master them. However, Natsuki's Lightning Release can match Kakuzu's, while Sasuke's Fire Release is quite a bit weaker."

Tenten wasn't surprised. She knew Natsuki's talent best.

Sakura was a bit unhappy upon hearing this, but as a Genin with limited experience, she had no right to say anything.

Natsuki stepped onto the air using Moon Walk and rushed into the sky. He kicked out Wind Release: Gale Palm slashes at both of them, which were naturally easily dodged.

Moreover, after Neji dodged, he suddenly sent a palm strike from a distance, an Eight Trigrams Empty Palm. The air wave went straight for Natsuki's chest.

However, Natsuki just waved his hand and actually knocked the air wave away, sending it towards Sasuke.

Sasuke had to retreat to dodge, looking up at Natsuki with a serious expression.

"He actually knocked my Eight Trigrams Empty Palm away?! As expected of you!" Although Neji was surprised, he also felt it was natural.

They had only exchanged a few moves, seemingly evenly matched, but in fact, Natsuki was completely at ease.

In comparison, Neji and Sasuke were tense. If they were to lose focus for even a moment, they could truly be defeated.

This was the benefit of fighting with Natsuki. Only under such high-intensity tension could they improve faster.

Natsuki didn't bother with any other fancy moves. While stepping down using Moon Walk, he kicked out Wind Release: Gale Palm slashes.

In less than two seconds, he had rushed in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke had just dodged a slash when he was met with Natsuki's short sword. He quickly raised his sword to block, while his other hand, wrapped in lightning, struck towards Natsuki's chest, but was forced back by Natsuki's counter-attack with his sword.

Neji also caught up, his Eight Trigrams Palm flowing ceaselessly, each strike going straight for Natsuki's vital points and weak spots.

Natsuki was not afraid of fighting two against one. With just a short sword, he exchanged blows with the two of them, constantly darting around the rocky area at an astonishing speed.

Sakura was simply dazzled; her strength was not enough to see clearly.

She subconsciously turned to look at Tenten, only to see Tenten's eyes moving rapidly, seemingly following the movements of the three fighting figures closely.

Indeed, only with sufficient strength can one see the battle clearly?.
