-------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke and Naruto glared at each other intensely, and once again, they moved, engaging in a pure taijutsu battle. Naruto's taijutsu style had always been direct and forceful, with large, powerful movements. Sasuke, on the other hand, activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan. His movements were agile, always searching for openings, and his speed was slightly superior.

Bang, bang, bang...

The sound of collisions kept ringing out. The fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the gusts of wind, swirling around the two figures darting back and forth.

Kakashi, watching the evenly matched battle between the two, couldn't help but comment, "Naruto, that kid, has improved a lot. He's learned to make full use of his physical advantages."

Logically, Sasuke's taijutsu should have been more refined, especially with the dynamic vision provided by his Sharingan, which should have given him the upper hand.

However, the two remained evenly matched on the surface.

Naruto, relying on his enhanced physique, repeatedly faced Sasuke's punches and kicks head-on without hesitation, intending to use a "damage for damage" strategy. This forced Sasuke to retreat and evade.

"Sasuke-kun, Naruto."

Sakura watched the two boys' crisscrossing figures with wide eyes, clenching her fists. 

She wondered, Am I keeping up with their pace now?

Boom!

A dull thud echoed as Naruto blocked Sasuke's downward kick with an upward punch.

Both of them froze in place, a wave of air violently sweeping away all the swirling leaves around them.

"Heh, not bad."

Sasuke chuckled, applying force to his leg and performing a backflip to create some distance.

"I told you, I'm no longer the dead last!" Naruto retracted his fist and grinned widely.

"In that case, let's continue." Sasuke bent his body slightly, his eyes sharpening as he gripped the sword at his waist with a reverse hold. "Be careful from here on out!"

"Bring it on!" Naruto pulled a kunai from the pouch on his thigh, spun it around his finger, and held it in a reverse grip.

"You better watch out yourself!" Sasuke smirked once more, pushing the sword guard with his left hand and unsheathing his sword with his right. A flash of white light crossed Naruto's vision.

The sharp blade carried a biting coldness, causing the hairs on Naruto's skin to stand up.

Clang!

At the very last second, Naruto's eyes widened as he stepped back, tightly gripping his kunai to block the slash.

"Looks like your perception has improved a lot too."

Their eyes met, and the three tomoe in Sasuke's eyes began to spin.

'Not good!' Naruto's consciousness dimmed. He immediately closed his eyes and stepped back.

"Heh!" Sasuke pressed forward swiftly, his sword flashing with a quick thrust toward Naruto, who had his eyes shut.

Naruto bent his knees slightly and leaped into the air, throwing the kunai in his hand downward.

Sasuke casually deflected the kunai with a flick of his blade.

However, Naruto had already opened his eyes, forming a hand seal.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Poof, poof, poof, poof...

In an instant, countless identical shadow clones filled Sasuke's vision, surrounding him completely.

"Take this!" All the shadow clones shouted in unison, moving simultaneously as Naruto blended into the crowd.

"This again." Sasuke straightened up, holding his sword in a reverse grip, and formed a hand seal.

"Chidori Blade!"

The sound of crackling electricity filled the air, and blue arcs of lightning enveloped his white blade.

"Sasuke!" Several of Naruto's shadow clones threw shuriken, while others, holding kunai, rushed forward.

"Naruto!" Sasuke's lightning-imbued blade sliced through the air, knocking down all the incoming weapons.

As the sword moved, arcs of lightning cut through the approaching shadow clones, dispelling them one after another.

"More!"

Naruto's shadow clones charged forward from all directions.

Sasuke spun on his toes, and the lightning blade exploded in an arc, creating a perfect circle around him.

Poof, poof, poof...

White smoke rose as the shadow clones were once again wiped out.

"Damn it!" The remaining clones rushed in, shouting defiantly.

"Is this all you've got, Naruto?" Sasuke moved lightly, his lightning blade dancing through the air, constantly dispelling the endless barrage of shadow clones.

"Kakashi, did you teach Sasuke that swordsmanship?" Minato asked calmly as he watched the glowing blade in Sasuke's hand, then shook his head. "No, it doesn't seem like it."

"It wasn't me." Kakashi had already pushed up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan. "It seems to be Lee's doing. Sasuke's swordsmanship foundation is very solid."

"Kaito knows swordsmanship?" Minato asked in surprise.

Kakashi shook his head. "No, his swordsmanship is terrible. I meant that Kaito likely brought in a swordsmanship expert to give Sasuke some specialized training."

"I see." Minato nodded in understanding, then laughed. "Good thing Kaito doesn't know swordsmanship. Otherwise, even I would feel inadequate."

"…" Kakashi didn't respond.

'I guess I've lost.' He recalled the days when he, too, had been a brilliant young prodigy.

But, alas, time has worn me down.

"Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura looked at the suddenly melancholic Kakashi with confusion.

"Hm?" Kakashi quickly regained his composure and said earnestly, "Pay close attention to the fight, Sakura. Don't let those two surpass you!"

"Yes…" Sakura dragged out her response, rolling her eyes as she turned back to the battle.

"Sasuke!!"

Naruto's shout pulled her attention back once more.

One of Naruto's clones had leaped high into the air, thrusting a Rasengan toward Sasuke.

Meanwhile, the shadow clones around Sasuke clung to him, giving it their all to hold him down.

Sasuke glanced up, and in an instant, electricity surged across his entire body, expanding outward.

"Chidori!"

The crackling electricity cleared out the remaining clones. Sasuke shook his lightning-infused blade.

Then, he gripped his sword with both hands, holding it horizontally at eye level, the tip aimed directly at the Rasengan-wielding Naruto.

Thrust!

The electrified blade shot forward like lightning. Sasuke dodged Naruto's Rasengan, plunging his sword into Naruto's chest.

"Rasengan!"

Naruto's voice, accompanied by the high-pitched hum of the spinning Rasengan, echoed behind Sasuke.

At the same time, the Naruto he had just impaled vanished into smoke.

'Got him!'

Seeing the Rasengan about to slam into Sasuke's back, Naruto couldn't help but smile in excitement.

"Are you about to say you got me?" Sasuke's voice suddenly came from right beside him, the crackling blade hovering near his neck.

"What?!" Naruto turned his head in shock. Sasuke was standing right behind him, his sword at Naruto's throat.

He turned back to look ahead and saw another Sasuke calmly turning around.

"You lost, dead last."

"Damn it!" Naruto shouted angrily at Sasuke's smug smile. "I haven't lost yet!!!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Red chakra chains suddenly shot out from another direction, hurtling toward Sasuke.

"Found you, the real one," Sasuke's grin widened. "You're still so easy to provoke."
