"Okay, let's do something a little simpler. Go run a couple of laps around the street."
"Just two laps? I'll go right away!"
Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn't a big deal.
"Of course, it's not just ordinary running laps. You don't wear clothes when you run laps; it's what's called naked running."
"This this……"
Sasuke stared at Yi Shuihan in disbelief; at that moment, Yi Shuihan seemed like a devil to him.
Even if it's for revenge, you can't be this shameless!
Sasuke usually acts extremely aloof, as if he doesn't care about anything, but that doesn't mean he can really disregard other people's opinions.
The thought of how everyone might react if he were running naked down the street made Sasuke's heart pound.
"To actually run naked in the street, how shameless!"
“I know that child. He is the last survivor of the Uchiha clan. I heard he was a genius ninja. I never expected him to be this kind of person. He has completely disgraced the Uchiha clan.”
"Child, don't look at this pervert. If you see him in the future, stay far away from him."
"He's a ninja? How can someone like that become a ninja?"
Sasuke's limited imagination couldn't come up with anything more vicious, but that didn't stop him from being afraid.
That's right, just thinking about it terrifies Sasuke. He's not afraid of fighting ninjas, and he's not even afraid of bleeding or getting injured, but now he's truly afraid.
The reason Sasuke was able to confess to Naruto before was largely because he knew that if he were alone with Naruto, only Naruto would know, and Naruto would never spread it around. As long as he didn't mention it again, no one else would know.
Now it's different. If he were to actually go out and run naked in the street, the entire Land of Fire would probably know the next day that the Uchiha clan had produced a streaking man, and he might even become famous all over the world.
A streaking man isn't enough to attract worldwide attention, but adding the title of "Uchiha clan member" changes everything, and many people would probably be delighted to see it.
Besides seeking revenge, Sasuke also wanted to revitalize his clan. However, after doing so, Sasuke didn't know how he could face his ancestors.
"Don't worry, even if it's to gain power, we can't be ruthless, right? This time, I've prepared this for you."
Yi Shuihan flipped his hand and took out a human skin mask.
If it weren't for the fact that Sasuke was already wavering and almost certainly wouldn't agree, Yi Shuihan wouldn't have taken it out!
"As long as you wear this, no one will know your identity. Although you will still be despised by people, as long as you don't say anything, no one will know it's you, and your reputation will be preserved. Moreover, I will be watching from the side and will absolutely not let anyone expose your identity."
Yi Shuihan patted Yuexiong's chest and made a promise.
Sasuke received the human skin mask from Yi Shuihan with trembling hands. He felt that he had never experienced such a shock in his life.
Thinking about what he was about to do, he felt his Sharingan undergo another evolutionary reaction.
Sasuke was incredibly proud of his bloodline limit, but now he felt like crying. While the bloodline was powerful, the way it evolved was just too...
The appearance of the streaking man immediately plunged the entire Hidden Leaf Village into a huge vortex, causing a great uproar.
Because it was during the Chunin Exams, and many foreign friends were also present, the news of the streaking man in Konoha spread at an astonishing speed, becoming a household name in Konoha.
The negative impact of this incident has escalated to the political level, severely damaging the reputation of the Land of Fire. As a result, the Third Hokage specifically dispatched the Anbu to investigate.
Only because of the human skin mask was Sasuke managed to avoid being found.
As the only person besides Sasuke who knew the truth, Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't blab. In fact, to put Sasuke at ease, he secretly used a secret technique to enhance Sasuke's mental strength while Sasuke rested at night, which also strengthened his physique.
The next day, Sasuke discovered that his Sharingan had evolved to the three-tomoe stage. While he was terrified when he heard the news of the naked man being searched for outside, he still did not give up on Yi Shuihan's training plan.
Sasuke's heart-wrenching journey continues. In order to make Sasuke stronger, Yi Shuihan racked his brains and tried all sorts of ways to torture Sasuke. However, later on, the methods became slightly gentler and were completely within Sasuke's tolerance.
Chapter 434, Didn't I already arrive a long time ago?
"Finally, I finally did it."
Inside the dark cave, Sasuke, covered in mud, growled.
At this moment, Sasuke shed tears of joy! It wasn't easy. Looking back on his experiences over the past three days, Sasuke really couldn't imagine how he had managed to persevere.
Confessing his feelings to Naruto, running naked in public, taking a bath in urine, drinking water squeezed from the excrement of unknown wild animals, eating insects raw, stealing honey, and then being chased by bees, etc., in short, it's hard to describe!
Today, he finally achieved his goal: his eyes evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Sasuke felt a power a hundred times stronger than three days ago; he had never felt so powerful before.
He was filled with gratitude towards Yi Shuihan. He knew that he would not have been able to obtain this power without Yi Shuihan.
Of course, when Sasuke thought about what Yi Shuihan had made him do in the past three days, his gratitude faded a little. It wasn't that he was an ungrateful person, but when he thought about those things that still made his scalp tingle even now, he subconsciously felt resentment towards Yi Shuihan.
“He’s already enjoyed almost everything the man at the top of the food chain has to offer, so giving him a kaleidoscope is only reasonable.” Outside the cave, Yi Shuihan listened to the faint roars coming from outside and wasn’t surprised.
Initially, Yi Shuihan was unhappy about Sasuke's good fortune in having the system assign him the task of being Sasuke's grandfather, but he had no choice but to improve Sasuke's strength for the sake of the mission.
Yi Shuihan felt much more comfortable now. Sasuke was ashamed of what he had paid for the power. He felt that Sasuke had given so much, and it was perfectly acceptable for him to receive the corresponding power.
If it were him, Yi Shuihan would find it hard to imagine that he could achieve what Sasuke did.
"However, if Sasuke knew in the end that the person he desperately tried to get revenge on was the very person he needed to thank the most, what would he think?"
The scene was so beautiful that even Yi Shuihan couldn't have imagined it.
Once you get to the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan becomes much more difficult. Even if Yi Shuihan wanted Sasuke's eyes to evolve again, he would have to put in a lot of effort, since he didn't have much time left.
With the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's strength has now fully entered the Kage level. It is believed that even compared to Itachi Uchiha, apart from being slightly inferior in combat skills, he is not much weaker in other aspects.
Such a significant improvement was nothing to Yi Shuihan. Although improving someone else's mental strength was a bit troublesome, it was just a matter of lifting a finger for Yi Shuihan.
"You should know that your strength has already improved substantially because of your eyes, but I have to remind you that if you overuse your eyes, there is a risk of blindness. Before your eyes reach a higher level, it is best not to use your Sharingan lightly."
As soon as Sasuke appeared, he showed off by using the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques, Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi. Yi Shuihan, out of kindness, reminded him.
"I see."
"That's good. Go back and rest for a day, and come back to me tomorrow for the next part of your training."
It's rare to give Sasuke a break. Yi Shuihan said that he was also a bit tired after these three days. Although Sasuke was the one suffering, and he was just watching from the sidelines, who says that he wasn't tired?
Physically exhausted, mentally exhausted! If it weren't for the mission, would Yi Shuihan be so bored as to stay with Sasuke?
Yi Shuihan decided not to continue playing around with Sasuke like this. Well, he would hand Sasuke over to Rao for a few days to train him and accumulate some combat experience.
Sasuke, who happily went back to rest, was unaware that Yi Shuihan had already decided on his future days.
As for whether Rao was willing to give Sasuke guidance, Yi Shuihan didn't give it much thought. He believed that as long as he asked, Rao would still give him some face. It wasn't like he was asking Rao to teach Sasuke his ultimate techniques, but just to give him some pointers on combat experience.
Upon returning, Yi Shuihan found Rao, who was still holed up in his room cultivating. He then explained his intentions to Rao.
"You mean you want me to give that brat some pointers?"
"That's right, just a few pointers will suffice; there's no need to teach him anything else."
"Okay, but you have to grant me one request."
"Oh, what are the requirements?"
"Fight me when I feel it's the right time."
"no problem."
Yi Shuihan had anticipated Rao's desire to fight him and didn't mind, so he readily agreed.
To Yi Shuihan's surprise, he thought Rao wouldn't teach Sasuke anything like boxing, but in the end Rao taught Sasuke a powerful fist technique. Although it wasn't Hokuto Shinken or Nanto Seiken, it was still a level above Gentle Fist in this world.
It is believed that as long as Sasuke can learn this fist technique, his strength will be able to be completely stabilized at the peak of Kage level, and there is even a sliver of hope for him to surpass Kage level. In addition, Yi Shuihan has not completely stopped paying attention to Sasuke, so before he leaves, surpassing Kage level is basically a foregone conclusion.
I wonder what Orochimaru would think if he saw such a powerful Sasuke.
Before they knew it, the day of the Chunin Exams had finally arrived. Sasuke's special training had also ended, and his strength was on the verge of breaking through to the level of Kage. He was much stronger than the current Third Hokage. If it were to fight Uchiha Itachi now, unless Uchiha Itachi used Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, he would most likely lose.
Sasuke's improved strength broadened his horizons, and to be honest, he no longer cared about the Chunin Exams. With enough strength, he was already planning to seek revenge on his brother. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan's insistence that he finish what he started, Sasuke might not be in Konoha now.
"The third Chunin Exams are now officially beginning. Round one: Sasuke Uchiha vs. Gaara! Please prepare yourselves!"
"Uchiha Sasuke, has Uchiha Sasuke arrived yet?"
Gaara has arrived, but Sasuke Uchiha is still nowhere to be seen, which has sparked much discussion.
"Why isn't Sasuke here yet? And we haven't seen him since the second exam. Where did he go?" Sakura asked worriedly from the audience.
"If you don't come soon, I'll declare Gaara the winner of the first round."
The referee's voice sounded somewhat helpless; after all, he was from Konoha and naturally didn't want to see Konoha's ninjas lose without a fight.
"Didn't I already arrive a while ago?"
A sudden sound rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to be surprised to find an extraordinary figure in the arena who seemed to have been there from the very beginning.
"What's going on? When did he arrive?"
"It wasn't here before!"
Chapter 435, Sasuke's Speed
"This kid's got a pretty good grasp of the art of showing off!"
Yi Shuihan was also sitting in the audience, and he could see everything clearly.
Sasuke used genjutsu on the entire scene. Although he wasn't particularly talented in genjutsu and was far inferior to his brother Itachi Uchiha, the difference in strength between him and most of the people present was so great that even though his genjutsu was poor, it still had an effect.
Of course, there were some people present who could see through Sasuke's genjutsu, such as Yi Shuihan, Raoh, and the Third Hokage.
Gaara stared at Sasuke not far away, his whole body trembling with excitement. His crazed eyes were fixed on Sasuke without any attempt to hide it. The stronger Sasuke appeared, the more accomplished he felt he would be if he killed Sasuke.
Unfortunately, Gaara had no idea what kind of monster he was facing. Even if the One-Tailed Beast inside him were completely unsealed, it wouldn't last more than a few moves against Sasuke.
The Sharingan, especially at the Mangekyou level, allows for easy control of tailed beasts as long as the eye power is sufficient, making it a major nemesis of tailed beasts.
"Ahem, now that everyone's here, I'll declare the competition open."
To avoid embarrassment, the referee immediately announced the start of the match.
The audience then quieted down, watching the two on the field. Sasuke's stunning appearance had left a deep impression on them, naturally creating a bias in their minds towards Sasuke, believing that Sasuke would be the winner.
"Go ahead and make your move. If I do, you won't have a chance to."
Sasuke said coolly. He sensed the hidden power within Gaara's body, but so what! He had long since been transformed. No matter how strong the opponent was, he would not feel afraid. On the contrary, the stronger Gaara was, the happier he would be. The feeling of defeating a strong person and a weak person was completely different.
"How dare he underestimate Gaara? He'll get what's coming to him soon enough." In the contestant area, Temari looked at Sasuke with schadenfreude. No one knew better than her how strong Gaara would be if he unleashed his full power. It was beyond the comprehension of Chunin and Jonin; probably only a Kage-level ninja could handle Gaara in that state!
Temari had also heard of Sasuke's reputation. He was a genius of the Uchiha clan, with immense strength far surpassing his peers. She had witnessed some of Sasuke's abilities during the second exam, and he was indeed extraordinary, standing out even among Chunin.
If it were any other opponent, even Temari herself wouldn't dare say she could defeat Sasuke. However, Sasuke's current opponent is Gaara, a monster who can easily deal with even a Jonin. Therefore, Temari never even considered that Sasuke would win.
It wasn't just Temari; all the members of the Sand Village shared similar thoughts.
Strands of sand floated out of the gourd behind Gaara, creating a strange and oppressive feeling when combined with Gaara's manic panda eyes.
"Use your blood to prove yourself!"
Muttering to himself, Gaara raised his hand and waved it in Sasuke's direction. As if on command, the sand rushed towards Sasuke in a frenzy. It wasn't quite that exaggerated, but it was still enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.
"Go Sasuke! Defeat that Calabash Brother!"
"Sasuke, Sasuke, so incredibly handsome."
"Sasuke, let the Sand Village know how powerful Konoha is."
Since it was a battle on home soil, even though Sasuke was somewhat expressionless and not very enthusiastic, he still had quite a few supporters. In contrast, Gaara had virtually no supporters. Although he was strong, his popularity was far less than Sasuke's, and even the people of his own village were more afraid of him.
Sasuke remained expressionless, his eyes unwavering, as the sand approached. With a swift wave of his hand, the sand scattered like cotton wool.
"Don't bother with these little tricks. Show your true strength."
Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Gaara made another move. His hand gesture changed, and the scattered sand quickly gathered together again, transforming into a giant sand hand that swatted at Sasuke like a fly, with astonishing force.
Just as the Sand Hand descended, Sasuke's eyes turned cold, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving a trail of afterimages on the field as he quickly approached Gaara.
"Wow, so fast! This is the speed of a genin? I, a chunin, can't keep up at all."
"Don't even mention a Chunin, even a Jonin wouldn't be this fast!"
"Wow, this is amazing! Is this the genius of the Uchiha clan? He truly lives up to his reputation. At this speed, he's practically invincible."
He only showed his speed slightly, but it completely shocked everyone, who stared in amazement at the figure on the field.
"Sasuke is so handsome."
Sakura and Ino, their eyes sparkling with desire, touched their faces with their hands and spoke in unison.
"How did Sasuke suddenly become so strong?" Naruto asked with a serious expression, quite puzzled.
Even Kakashi was utterly astonished. Sasuke's strength had changed so much that even he himself hadn't been able to move at this speed.
"As fast as that guy with the thick eyebrows, no, even faster?"
