Chapter 241: Moonlight Duel
The night when Konoha's main force attacked.
After a day of special training, Naruto was already exhausted.
He was lying at home and resting.
Next to Naruto was Jiraiya, who had just returned from gathering materials from the bathhouse.
His grand plan to stop peeping was shattered on the first day, and he had to start over tomorrow.
Despite the heavy consumption and physical fatigue, Naruto's heart felt warm and he couldn't sleep no matter what, as if there was a big flintstone blocking him.
After thinking for a long time, Naruto jumped up and slapped his head.
Thinking of Kakashi-sensei's instructions, how could he forget Sasuke?
So Naruto tiptoed and tiptoed out of the room, heading towards the Uchiha house on the edge of the village.
Would he attack Sasuke at night to see if he was normal?
Naruto had just left, Jiraiya, who was drunk, sat unsteadily at the same time and looked at Naruto, shook his head and smiled:
"It's good to be young! He has endless energy. It won't be possible when you get older."
Although he was muttering something, Jiraiya immediately got up and went out, following Naruto.
Although he was full of passion and had many mistakes, he never missed a promise. Basically, he would try his best to fulfill the promises made by others.
Unless it was a fatal kind.

On the other side, Naruto had a good hunch.
In the Uchiha house, Sasuke was quickly packing weapons, props, and dried food, preparing to leave the village secretly at night.
Not defection.
He just wanted to join this war and wait for the opportunity to take revenge on Itachi.
He had been waiting for this day for too long and wouldn't let go of this opportunity no matter what.
Since the village didn't allow him to participate in the war, then he would go alone!
No one could stop him!
Soon, Sasuke had just packed his backpack and opened the door to leave when he met Naruto who came.
Seeing Sasuke's clothes, Naruto suddenly became anxious.
"What are you going to do, Sasuke? Where are you going?"
"Naruto, get out of the way!"
Sasuke scolded coldly. He didn't have the time or mood to play around with Naruto right now.
"No! Are you going to leave?"
Naruto wasn't stupid, moreover, he could guess what Sasuke wanted to do with his butt.
"It's none of your business. I'm giving you one last warning, get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Sasuke warned again, already a little impatient.
"No way, I will never let you go to war alone! Kakashi-sensei told me to watch you!"
"Kakashi? He's just a poor fellow. It's not his turn to take revenge!"
"Anyway, you can't leave!"
Naruto didn't understand the story inside. But he knew very well that he would never let Sasuke go!
"Annoying! Right! Then let me test my progress on you!"
Sasuke, who was taught by his ancestor Madara, now had a very serious arrogance, he didn't even pay much attention to Naruto.
Seeing that he couldn't make Naruto give up, he just took action.
Quickly defeat Naruto and no one could stop him.
"Sasuke! Stop."
Seeing Sasuke rushing towards him, Naruto was forced to fight.
The two sides immediately fought together.
Compared to the Chunin Exams, both of them had made rapid progress.
In fact, both of their taijutsu had improved significantly, and they were almost on par with Lee who took the Chunin Exams.
Sasuke was even better!
In terms of taijutsu, Naruto was almost defeated.
❀❀❀
Of course, when Jiraiya arrived, Naruto had already fought Sasuke for several rounds.
Jiraiya jumped onto the roof and watched with great interest.
In his eyes, this was nothing. It was just a passionate dance between best friends.
Back then, he and Orochimaru often fought privately.
"Hm? Sasuke, has made great progress!"
"Taijutsu, observation ability, and coordination ability. Everything is completely different from before!"
"Who has been guiding him lately?"
"Orochimaru? He does have the ability, but his style doesn't seem to be the same?"
Jiraiya was very clear about Naruto's progress, after all, he personally guided him, but Sasuke's rapid progress was a bit strange.
Although Sasuke's talent was extraordinary, it was impossible for him to master many details of the fight without a teacher.
Meanwhile, the battle intensified.
Naruto and Sasuke were also angry.
Their bond was indeed quite deep at this stage, but because they were both still young, both of them still had selfish desires.
Just like Naruto was envious of Sasuke because he was handsome and popular with girls, Sasuke was also envious of Naruto's rapid growth and the dedicated guidance of a famous teacher.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Multiple Shadow Technique!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Both sides gradually began to use ninjutsu to fight.
Naruto's endless clones fiercely faced Sasuke's large-scale fire attacks. In particular, Sasuke's Fire Element was much stronger and more precise than before.
He could even control the direction of the fire accurately, focusing its power without setting his own house on fire.
"These two naughty boys are getting angrier! Wait a minute. Sasuke's Fire Ninjutsu is so powerful!"
"Why does it feel so strange yet so familiar at the same time?"
Jiraiya touched his chin and muttered, where had he seen similar Fire Ninjutsu?
"Also, the fight is so fierce that it didn't attract the attention of the village?"
Jiraiya looked around.
Only then did he realize that a barrier had been opened around this Uchiha house to isolate perception and sound.
It seemed that some ANBU ninjas did it together?
'The people Orochimaru sent to protect Sasuke? Four elite ANBU?'
'That guy is so willing! Much more generous than that old man…'
Jiraiya sighed silently.
The village was at war and in dire need of manpower, so elites could be sent to protect Sasuke.
That guy valued Sasuke so much!
But it's okay, with the help of this dark part to cover it up, it can avoid causing a lot of trouble.
As Jiraiya thought.
The battle in the courtyard gradually entered a desperate stage.
Naruto unleashed the Rasengan he had just learned, and Sasuke also released the Chidori.
One was a representative of chakra-shaping ninjutsu, and the other was a masterpiece that changed the nature of chakra.
They were all high-level ninjutsu that ordinary ninjas couldn't even touch.
Jiraiya glanced at the two of them and watched the match with more interest.
With his eyesight and knowledge, he could naturally see the power of both sides' ninjutsu, and even if they collided, their lives wouldn't be in danger.
There was nothing that could stop it.
This passionate dance between close friends would eventually end after dancing until they were exhausted.
When the time came, he could bring Naruto back, and Sasuke could no longer escape from the village.
*BOOM!*
The ultimate moves of both sides collided, creating a large-scale explosion.
A powerful shock wave spread, shocking the four ANBU ninjas guarding the barrier.
With this power, they couldn't even withstand a single shot!
These two little geniuses just graduated from the Ninja Academy, right? They already have the power to threaten Jonin?
When did the Genin in Konoha become so fierce?
