Time flies.

In a flash, 2 years have passed.

Konoha Village.An open space near the jungle.

DING!

DING!

CLANG!

CLANG!

At the moment, two five-year-old children were fighting fiercely in the open space. The Kunai in their hands kept attacking and blocking, making a loud collision sound.

They fought for a while.

Wearing a black turtleneck with a fan pattern on the back, the child was clearly in a disadvantaged position. Seeing himself who was in a bad position, he clenched his teeth. He did several backflips in a row.

It opened a certain distance against his opponent.

He smoothly retracted his Kunai back to his waist and quickly did a hand seal with both hands. Immediately afterward, the Chakra made his body gradually become hot. Next, to the esophagus, pouring into the throat cavity, the hot energy swelled the entire mouth. Then, a raging fire squirted out of his mouth!

'GREAT FIREBALL JUTSU!'

A large fireball ruthlessly attacked his opponent.

After the Ninjutsu was launched, the black smoke rose from the place where his opponent was.

Waiting for the black smoke to dissipate...

Unfortunately, his opponent was missing.

The rest was just a piece of charred wood.

At this moment, an unpleasant voice came into the ears of the child who had just launched the Ninjutsu: "Hahahaha! Sasuke, are you stupid? Even if you know how to use Ninjutsu, you still have to hit the opponent! Now that you don't have Chakra anymore, why are you still my opponent? Admit defeat! This is your 599th loss to me! Hahahahaha!" Sasuke, gasping for breath, looked reluctantly towards the direction of the sound.

It was a yellow-haired kid who looked arrogant and despotic.

At that moment, the kid with yellow hair was standing on a tree trunk with his hands shoulder-to-shoulder, looking down on Sasuke on the ground, who looked a little embarrassed on the ground.

"Damn it! Scoundrel Naruto! I haven't lost yet! You come down to me! Let's keep fighting!"

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?" After speaking, Naruto's soles pressed against the tree trunk ran down and rushed towards Sasuke.

The two men fought with Taijutsu this time.

This confrontation was no longer the kind of fight that was 2 years ago. Both sides were methodical in fighting. Obviously, in the past two years, the two people have grown a lot.

Hitting, hitting...

Sasuke gradually fell into the losing end.

First, a punch in the abdomen, then a palm in the cheek, and finally, the whole person was beaten back by Naruto. Sasuke clutched his abdomen and face, staring at Naruto with resentment, and said, "Damn it! Who taught you Taijutsu? How can you improve so much?"

"Ha! I'm extraordinarily talented! I am self-taught! Anyway, you lost! Don't forget, if you lose again, you will break through the 600th mark!"

Seeing that the two stopped fighting, Hinata, who was watching the whole process, walked over with two boxes of bento and said weakly: "I have been practicing for so long, let's have a meal together. This is the food I made myself..."

Hinata handed a bento to Sasuke and one to Naruto.

The two people took the lunch, they opened at the same time to see.

Sasuke looked at his bento and at Naruto's bento.

The inside of his bento was ordinary. Filled with onigiri(triangular seaweed rice balls).

And Naruto's bento; although it was also filled with onigiri, the shape of that onigiri is a 'love' shape. There were several small sausages next to it as side dishes.

This scene made Sasuke speechless.

However, what's even more hateful is that Naruto didn't forget to laugh at him. "Hahahaha! Sasuke, you're so unlucky! You chose the bad lunch box again." Sasuke was so angry that he turned away immediately.

Looking at these two guys, Hinata blushed and looked down when Naruto reacted.

"Huh? Hinata, what about you?"

"I... I... I forgot to bring ..."

"Hey~ why are you always like this? It's okay, I'll eat with you."

"Un."

Sasuke, who turned his back to them, was almost so angry that he didn't catch their conversation. He grabbed the onigiri and bit it hard! He seemed to treat his onigiri as Naruto to vent.

So, the two of them spent their happy day happily like this.

In the past 2 years, the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke can be said to be closer than in the original work. Hinata was even more so. The three people would gather together almost every day. —To exercise. Or go shopping. Or playing.

The relationship of the three people has gradually become inseparable.

Of course, in addition to the close relationship, the strengths of the three have also progressed by leaps and bounds.

Tree climbing, walking on water, and other techniques to control Chakra. Needless to say, Li Yaoxiang had already taught Naruto in advance, and Hinata and Sasuke also learned them with Naruto, by the way.

Sasuke was the first to learn Ninjutsu due to his clan.

Hinata had also been able to use 'Eight Trigrams and Sixteen Palms' perfectly because of these 6 years of exercise. Her performance has been praised and recognized by Hyuga Hiashi. She has not stopped her from staying with Naruto and Sasuke from time to time.

[TL note: The Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms is a manoeuvre of the Gentle Fist fighting style. It is essentially a halved version of the already halved Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms. This technique is used to close off the flow of chakra through sixteen chakra points of an opponent's chakra pathway system. This eliminates their ability to use chakra for quite some time and renders them unconscious.]

Naruto; in addition to the Three-Style Jutsu taught by Li Yaoxiang thoroughly, what he is most proud of is his basic body technique. This is where his strength is far ahead of Sasuke and Hinata. The main contributor to this result is, of course, Li Yaoxiang. After all, Naruto's basic main body technique was carefully taught by Li Yaoxiang.

But why did he have such a strong result in basic body technique too? Very simple. That is because Li Yaoxiang had already consumed 2 darkening points through the system mall two years ago and purchased the ability of 'base main body proficient'.

The main purpose was to make Naruto's strength one step ahead of others! The reason why he only taught Naruto Three-Style Jutsu and the main body technique but did not teach other exceptional Ninjutsu, all just to let Naruto embark on 'Peak of Life'!

It wasn't to make Naruto a top powerhouse! Instead, from beginning to end, Li Yaoxiang's purpose darkening Naruto.

What's the connection between strong Naruto and darkening him, you ask? Wouldn't that make Naruto directly use force to solve everything perfectly? Therefore, in a good period of time in the future, if not necessary, Li Yaoxiang will not improve Naruto's strength again and even deliberately prevent others from improving Naruto's strength! Otherwise, a little carelessness will affect his subsequent darkening plan.

Seeing such a warm picture of Naruto and the others today, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After all these years of hard work has not been in vain.

While Li Yaoxiang looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, the crystal ball in the space of consciousness suddenly showed a picture that he had to pay attention to...
