Chapter 45 Even you can't do it, Sassa!
The audience seats, deep in darkness.
Shi Yu, hidden in the shadows, flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Naruto's performance in the dream was simply too outstanding.
Compared to the bottom-of-the-class student who just graduated from the Ninja Academy in the original work, the Naruto on the screen now looks like he has returned from training with Jiraiya two years later.
He effortlessly used various high-difficulty ninjutsu and defeated Sasuke with ease; such strength is truly astonishing.
Shi Yu couldn't help but praise it.
It seems that in the original work, the Nine-Tails was indeed a burden to Naruto in the early stages.
Naruto himself has no shortage of chakra and his physical abilities are top-notch, but because the Nine-Tails is sealed inside him, not only is his own chakra constantly being diverted to maintain the seal, but the chakra leaked by the Nine-Tails also interferes with his control over his own chakra.
In addition, without any guidance, it was wasted for many years.
Without these constraints, Naruto's strength would be completely different.
Shiyu brought up the system panel.
[This time, the dream-fulfilling recipient is: Uchiha Sasuke]
[Viewers: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Kakashi Hatake]
[Total Emotion Points Gain: 28900!]
[Current sentiment score balance: 110150 points!]
Shi Yu nodded in satisfaction.
These past two days, thanks to Naruto's resentment, the profits have been quite good.
He casually opened the system level interface.
[Current Dream Fulfillment Level: Level 2 (164650/200000)]
Great, I only need two more days to accumulate enough emotion points to meet the upgrade requirements.
What kind of upgrade options will be unlocked then?
There are three options to choose from, which is really something to look forward to...
The next morning.
Sasuke woke up from his dream, fragments of the previous night's dream still echoing in his mind.
He rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Illusion?"
In the final moments of the dream, Naruto's words lingered like an echo.
As the Sharingan is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke knew a little about it.
The Sharingan possesses powerful abilities such as observation, copying, and hypnosis. Its user has superhuman insight, can see through and cast genjutsu, and can copy taijutsu and non-bloodline limit ninjutsu.
However, the night he awakened his Sharingan was the day his entire clan was wiped out. After that, no one taught him any genjutsu training, and the scrolls left in his family were only basic fire-style techniques.
No wonder Naruto asked that question in the dream.
Could it be that the "self" in the dream can use Sharingan genjutsu?
Sasuke's heart skipped a beat.
That's true. The Uchiha clan in my dream exists perfectly well. I grew up in the clan since I was a child, with my father and brother guiding me. Why shouldn't I know genjutsu?
Sasuke thought about it more and more and felt that last night's dream was unusual, and he clenched his fists slightly.
I recalled Naruto's words in my dream.
"Why haven't you used any illusions? I've been on guard for a long time."
Sasuke's expression was somewhat complicated.
In the dream, Naruto actually believed that he should know genjutsu...
Is this really a fictional dream?
Sasuke was in a state of utter confusion, and for a moment he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his doubts, and decided to stop thinking about it.
He currently has no way to learn illusion magic, so he'll just have to take it one step at a time.
On the other side, Naruto also jumped out of bed.
He stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, still half asleep, when he suddenly remembered the various scenes from his dream last night, and he instantly became much more awake.
"Wow--"
Naruto couldn't help but gasp in surprise; the scene in his dream still seemed unbelievable to him.
That confident, composed, and unhurried guy who could use all sorts of ninjutsu with ease—it was actually me!
Thinking of this, Naruto became even more excited. He jumped off the bed, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I never thought I was so powerful in my dream! Sasuke was no match for me at all! As expected of me! Hahaha!"
Laughter echoed in the empty apartment. Naruto was extremely pleased with himself, as if he were the one who had defeated Sasuke the night before.
I've laughed enough.
Naruto had a sudden inspiration, and suddenly flipped over and jumped onto the bed, striking the same cool pose he had in his dream the night before.
He quickly formed several hand seals, then waved his hand with an air of profound wisdom.
With a "whoosh," one of the shuriken flew out.
He shouted in the same tone as last night, "Sword Shadow Clone Technique!"
Of course, the spectacular scene of countless sword shadows and clones did not occur.
There was only a lone shuriken stuck straight against the wall.
But he didn't care at all.
"Wow...that's so cool! I'm so cool in my dreams!"
Naruto, his face filled with rapture, began to imitate the moves he had seen in his dream, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
He took a deep breath and puffed out his cheeks.
A burst of air shot forward with a whoosh.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Unfortunately, he didn't know any real wind-style ninjutsu, so his breath only caused the curtains to flutter slightly and didn't cause any damage.
Naruto, still carefree, struck the same roundhouse kick pose he used to send Sasuke flying the night before, chuckling to himself as if he were actually creating a spinning gust of wind under his feet.
He gestured around in the cramped room for quite a while, having a great time.
After making a ruckus for a while, Naruto finally stopped, panting, and slumped back onto the bed.
After a brief moment of excitement, the room fell silent again, and Naruto's expression gradually darkened.
He looked at his empty hands and sighed softly, "What a pity... I don't know anything at all... I don't understand any of those powerful ninjutsu."
He opened his right palm and tried to gather chakra.
A wisp of blue chakra slowly took shape, spinning erratically in his palm, yet it could never quite coalesce into a sphere.
"As expected, it's just a half-baked Rasengan..."
Naruto smiled bitterly as he dispersed the still-developing Rasengan, muttering dejectedly, "The secret technique my father taught me... I may never be able to complete it on my own again..."
After quickly tidying up, Naruto changed his clothes and went out, running towards the meeting place agreed upon by Team 7.
He was still preoccupied with last night's dream, and his steps were much lighter than usual. He soon arrived at the training ground outside the village.
Sakura was already waiting there in the open space of the training ground.
Upon seeing Naruto, she surprisingly waved and said, "Good morning, Naruto!"
Naruto strode forward, grinning, and said, "Sakura, good morning! Is Kakashi-sensei here yet?"
As he spoke, he looked around in all directions.
Strange, is Kakashi-sensei, who is always late, even later today?
Just then, Sasuke appeared on the path not far away.
Naruto turned around and immediately seemed to remember something, a sly smile flashing across his face.
He immediately stepped forward, blocking Sasuke's path, his eyebrows raised high: "Yo, Sasuke!"
He looked Sasuke up and down with a smug expression. "I didn't expect that—"
Naruto deliberately dragged out his words.
"Sasuke, you were defeated by me in my dream, and you were still defeated by me in your dream! Hahaha, Sasuke, you're no match for me! You're so pathetic!"
As soon as Naruto uttered his exaggerated boast, Sasuke's face immediately darkened.
