Naruto: I Have a Gravity Training Room

Sakura felt deeply defeated for a moment. She had come to cheer for Sasuke, but now she couldn't even see Sasuke's figure clearly, nor could she understand the flow of the battle. In the end, she had come here for nothing.

However, since she wasn't in the same team as Sasuke now, if she didn't come often to show her face, she was afraid Sasuke might forget about her.

What she feared even more was that Sasuke might fall for another girl.

Wasn't this feeling… perfectly normal?

Meanwhile, further away from the rubble area, Kakashi and Guy stood atop a giant boulder, watching the battle as well.

Guy laughed. "Youth is truly burning bright in these young ones. Such an exciting battle, it makes me tear up with passion! Kakashi, how about we have a youthful duel too?"

"No way."

Kakashi rejected immediately and changed the topic. "Natsuki's strength is already incredible, but Neji and Sasuke are also growing rapidly."

Guy nodded. "Yeah, I fought Neji once before. His talent is amazing. Not only has he mastered the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist to a profound level, he has also opened the Third Gate of the Hachimon Tonkou (Eight Gates Released Formation). I plan to recommend Neji for Jonin after the next Chuunin Exams."

Kakashi pondered. "Jonin, huh… Sasuke should be almost there too."

But thinking of Naruto and Sakura still being Genin, Kakashi felt another headache.

Actually, if Naruto and Sakura both passed the next exam and became Chuunin, then having Sasuke promoted to Jonin would work too. A team of one Jonin and two Chuunin was allowed.

However, with Naruto and Sakura's current states, even if they could participate in the Chuunin Exams, their chances of passing were slim.

Especially Sakura. Her current state was unacceptable!

Looks like he would have to find some time to train her properly!

At this moment, the three-way battle reached its climax.

Natsuki faced the two of them alone, not only holding his ground but even suppressing them steadily. This made both of them quite frustrated. Seeing Natsuki retreat slightly, they seized the opportunity to unleash their new techniques.

Sasuke formed a one-handed seal while lunging forward rapidly.

Natsuki was about to defend when he noticed Sasuke suddenly split into seven figures. They didn't seem like Genjutsu illusions, and they looked like Shadow Clones, but something felt off.

He kicked a small stone towards one of the figures. The stone passed through it instantly.

"Just afterimages? Are they all afterimages, or is the real body hidden among them?"

Natsuki analyzed swiftly, but his short sword didn't hesitate as he slashed towards the nearest figure – only to slice through empty air. It was indeed an afterimage.

At that moment, the sound of slicing wind came from behind. Natsuki immediately swung his sword backward and successfully blocked Sasuke's short sword with a metallic clang.

However, when he counterattacked, the Sasuke he was about to hit turned into an afterimage again.

Hmm? Something was wrong.

Natsuki felt it was familiar, but he couldn't recall it immediately.

The other figures attacked in unison, but every slash he made struck only afterimages.

Then, once again, the sound of cutting wind came from behind. Natsuki swung his sword back to block, but when he counterattacked, that figure also turned into an afterimage.

Finally, he remembered. A smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe… I see now. Shunshin Shisui (Body Flicker Shisui), huh?"

Kakashi recognized it even earlier than Natsuki. "That's Shisui's Body Flicker technique? Sasuke had only asked me about the basics of that move before… I didn't think he would actually figure it out himself."

"Shisui? You mean Uchiha Shunshin no Shisui?" Guy was also shocked. "This kid Sasuke is incredible, to have understood Shisui's technique on his own!"

The reason Shisui's Body Flicker was so powerful was because his phantom clones rapidly shifted between illusion and reality, making it impossible for others to attack or defend against him. Combined with his Mangekyou Sharingan and unparalleled kenjutsu, he was an unstoppable force on the battlefield.

"That's right, it's Shisui-nii's technique! Natsuki, back then you told me to learn from others, so I studied Shisui-nii's move. Today, let me show you!"

Sasuke was full of confidence. Only after grasping this technique did he truly realize Shisui's strength.

He remembered back when he went to see Itachi, Shisui-nii was there too. Shisui-nii had humbly said he wasn't as good as Itachi, but thinking back now, perhaps he was just being modest.

Shunshin no Shisui was so famous, and back then Itachi was still young. How could Shisui not have been his equal?

He had only realized now… and he never thought he could learn such power!

One day, he would use Shisui-nii's technique to kill Itachi!

With such thoughts, Sasuke continued his attack. He clearly believed Natsuki couldn't break through this move.

But Natsuki smiled. "Shisui's Body Flicker is indeed strong, but Sasuke, you are not Shisui. You only have a two-tomoe Sharingan, and… you're not fast enough. That is the weakness of your technique. Now watch my new move – Senken Tennyo Sange (Wire Coil Heavenly Maiden Scatter)!"

Suddenly, several chakra threads shot out from Natsuki's body, piercing through six of the afterimages instantly. The real Sasuke was ensnared by the chakra threads before he could react.

"So fast!" Sasuke was stunned. He never imagined chakra threads could attack with such speed.

"You're just too slow." Natsuki stated calmly. Then with a tug, he pulled Sasuke in and sent him flying with a punch.

Before Natsuki could retract his fist, Neji, who had been preparing all this time, erupted with energy.

Air currents burst from Neji's entire body as he opened the Third Gate of the Hachimon Tonkou, and he began spinning rapidly on the spot, performing Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation).

Hmm? Spinning in place with Kaiten? What was he planning?

Neji immediately gave the answer. He kicked off with both feet, turning his Kaiten spin into a high-speed projectile as he flew towards Natsuki.

"Hakke Kaiten Sentan (Eight Trigrams Kaiten Spiral Shot)!"

Seeing this attack, not only Natsuki but everyone watching was shocked.

Guy became excited. "Kaiten can repel any attack, but it has always been a defensive move. If you use it like a cannonball for offense… wouldn't it become the ultimate attack, repelling all enemies?!"

Kakashi had a strange expression. "Nice idea… but isn't this just Gatsuga (Fang Over Fang)?"

Natsuki was also surprised by Neji's creativity. It was indeed similar to the Inuzuka clan's Gatsuga. Maybe the Inuzuka clan would sue him for copyright infringement… but Gatsuga was pure taijutsu, while this was turning Kaiten into a projectile.

Turning the ultimate defense into the ultimate offense?

Because his leg strength wasn't enough, he opened the Eight Gates?

It was a good idea.

Seeing the rapidly approaching Kaiten Spiral Shot, Natsuki didn't hesitate to counter.

He slammed his palm onto the ground, and immediately a giant spinning top, big enough for two people, shot up from the earth, smashing into the Kaiten Spiral Shot at an even faster speed.

With a loud BOOM, the spinning top and the Kaiten Spiral Shot were both knocked away.
