Chapter 299 The Gap in Contrast



Uchiha Sasuke's physical exhaustion was far more serious than what he showed. If he hadn't been in training, he would have collapsed long ago. The fierce battle made Sasuke temporarily ignore his physical fatigue, relying entirely on a breath of support. When this breath relaxed, he could no longer control his trembling body.

Seeing that the battle was over, Kakashi Hatake, who was observing from the side, appeared at the right time. Together with Mizuki, they helped Sasuke, whose body was a little out of control, to sit down in a shady place.

"How badly are you injured?" Kakashi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

In fact, Mizuki didn't do anything to Sasuke, and not many decent attacks landed on Sasuke. It was just that his physical strength and chakra consumption were a bit large. If he didn't stop in time and didn't have enough chakra to suppress it, the curse seal might come out again to cause trouble.

The current miserable state is all caused by Sasuke trying too hard. If the poorly controlled Chidori style is used improperly, it will be a double-edged sword that hurts oneself before hurting the enemy. Chidori is a veritable finishing move. If used well, it is a killer move. If used wrongly, it will be a fatal flaw that can be counterattacked. Why did Minato Namikaze ask Kakashi Hatake to seal Chidori as a forbidden technique? The main reason is that the risk of high-speed straight-line thrusts is too great. If you fail to hit the enemy, you will be counterattacked. You can't even dodge during high-speed movement. Only with the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, which is like cheating, can Chidori be used well.

After a while, under Mizuki's treatment, his injuries improved. At the same time, Sasuke, who had recovered some strength, gradually stopped the unconscious shaking of his muscles, and his breathing gradually began to stabilize.

"Don't try so hard when your teammates aren't around. If you lose control of your body on the battlefield, you're courting death."

Mizuki put away his Palm Magic Technique, took out the water bag and handed it to Sasuke.

"Drink something. There's nothing wrong with your body. You can move freely after a rest."

Sasuke did not refuse. He took the water bag and took a few big gulps. Then he poured the remaining water on his slightly hot head to cool himself down.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Mizuki."

At least now Sasuke is still a sober boy who can distinguish between good and evil. His mind is not that dark, and he does not have too much of a childish paranoid complex.

"Don't worry about it. Fighting against the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan is a rare experience."

Mizuki said with a smile.

The last time he fought against the Uchiha clan was when Uchiha Itachi invaded. However, at that time, Hatake Kakashi was the main force, and he was defeated by just a glance. Amaterasu defeated him in the blink of an eye. As for earlier times, many years before the Uchiha clan was exterminated, he had seen the power of the Sharingan several times. Unfortunately, at that time, the Uchiha clan was still the most prestigious and powerful family in Konoha. The arrogant Uchiha looked down on mediocre people like Mizuki, and no one would take Mizuki seriously. Mizuki, who was of average qualifications, was mostly a stepping stone to highlight the power of the Sharingan.

"Since you are fine, my work is done." After saying that, Mizuki turned to Hatake Kakashi and said, "I will leave first, and the rest will be left to you..."

"Um."

Kakashi nodded.

"Goodbye!" After saying that, Shuimu left in an instant.

Looking at Mizuki who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Kakashi sighed and said to Sasuke: "Don't take what teacher Mizuki said just now too seriously!"

"I know." Sasuke laughed at himself. "Although it sounds unpleasant, what Mizuki-sensei said is the truth. One or two high-level ninjutsu really doesn't mean anything."

"I'm glad you listened. However, judging by the Jūnin's requirements, it's a bit harsh on you. In fact, you've done a pretty good job."

Kakashi said soothingly, "When Mizuki-sensei and I were chatting, we talked about Konoha's Genin, and the strongest ones were probably you and Hyuga Neji."

"Me and Neji? But I can't even beat Naruto!"

Sasuke said unwillingly.

Sasuke saw the power of the Rasengan, which was no less powerful than Chidori. The Shadow Clone Technique seemed to be tailor-made for him, making the most of his physical strength and chakra. As for the desperate summoning technique, it made Sasuke even more at a loss. If he could summon Gamabunta, he could directly flatten all the Genin in Konoha.

"Naruto!" Kakashi sighed, "You don't have to worry about that kind of summoning technique that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. If you take that kind of large summoned beast into account, it would be too bullying. Apart from this, you still have the advantage."

Sasuke said unwillingly: "In battle, we don't care whether the summoned beast bullies people..."

"You have a point." Kakashi said with an embarrassed look on his face, "But the inheritance of summoning beasts is more troublesome. It's not easy to find a large summoning beast. However, we can find some practical ones."

"Isn't it hard to find?" Sasuke said a little discouraged.

"In fact, we don't need to rely too much on these external forces. Although summoning beasts are convenient, they are not so useful sometimes. Moreover, the strength of high-level ninjas may not be worse than those large summoning beasts."

"Really?" Sasuke's eyes lit up, as if he remembered the devastating power of the fire escape when he was on the sea of ​​the Land of Water.

"If I were that strong, I wouldn't need a summoning beast!"

Indeed, advanced ninjutsu does not represent everything, but being able to use super-advanced ninjutsu well means that one's overall quality has reached a very high level. This is a complementary relationship.

There is no shortage of advanced ninjutsu in the Uchiha family's inheritance, especially fire escape, which occupies an extremely important position in Uchiha's history.

After a short rest, Sasuke seemed to have regained some strength and struggled to stand up. As Mizuki said, he was not seriously injured, but just temporarily exhausted. However, it seemed that today's training could not continue, so he could only return.

"Kakashi-sensei, I have a question..." On the way home, Sasuke seemed a little embarrassed to speak and said hesitantly, "Who is stronger between you and Mizuki-sensei?"

"Why are you interested in this? Actually, both Mizuki and I are almost impossible for you to fight against!" After thinking for a while, Kakashi replied, "Under normal conditions, I should be stronger. But if Mizuki uses the Sage Mode, I may be slightly inferior, but it's not impossible to fight against. Maybe I will have to use special means."

The so-called special means undoubtedly refers to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
