Chapter 969

"Damn it!"

Sasuke Uchiha struggled to get up.

But losing too much chakra at once caused his body to enter a brief state of weakness.

And at this time, Naruto Uzumaki had already stood up and arrived in front of him.

"It was just a little bit!"

A look of unwillingness appeared on Sasuke Uchiha's face.

But a loss was a loss, and he couldn't change anything.

However, at least this sparring match made him understand one thing, which was that the gap between him and Naruto Uzumaki was narrowing.

And the greatest credit naturally belonged to Kitazawa.

The Lightning Release: Chidori Current and Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon he taught became the key to this sparring match.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto Uzumaki reached out his hand and said happily, "This was an exhilarating sparring match full of youth!"

"Itachi won't win next time."

Sasuke Uchiha grabbed his wrist and stood up.

"Itachi'll only know after Itachi fight next time!"

Naruto Uzumaki's teeth flashed, revealing a smile, and he said, "The unknown is what youth is!"

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha was speechless for a while.

He discovered that every time he said harsh words, they would be resolved by his youth.

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki."

After Kitazawa announced the result, he came to Sasuke Uchiha.

He reached out his hands and placed them on his arm; pale green chakra surged out, covering the injury caused by the Rasengan.

"As expected, it's Naruto's victory."

Kiba Inuzuka sighed upon hearing this.

"But Sasuke's strength has increased a lot."

Neji Hyuga said with a grave expression.

After watching this sparring match, he felt that he probably couldn't beat Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha anymore.

He once again deeply understood the saying that there are gaps even among geniuses.

"Indeed."

Tenten agreed, "This sparring match was a narrow victory for Naruto."

"A narrow victory is not necessarily the case."

Shikamaru Nara shook his head and asked, "Didn't Itachi notice that the Rasengan just now was a bit smaller?"

"Is it that Naruto lacked chakra? No, he has so much chakra, it's impossible for him to lack it; it's that he held back."

Ino Yamanaka realized.

"Under normal circumstances, the power of the Rasengan is greater than Lightning Release: Chidori."

Shino Aburame pondered and said, "Coupled with the great sword Samehada, Sasuke didn't lose unjustly; there is still a gap between him and Naruto."

"It doesn't matter; the gap between us and them is even bigger."

Kiba Inuzuka sighed heavily and said.

"We are normal people; we can't compare to freaks."

Tayuya couldn't help but interject.

After these three rounds of sparring, she had completely realized that she was just an ordinary genius.

"It seems Itachi're used to it; congratulations on joining the genius class."

Ino Yamanaka joked.

"Hmph, I only joined temporarily."

Tayuya crossed her arms and raised her head.

"Sakura, why aren't Itachi talking anymore?"
