Naruto: Playing Minecraft In Konoha

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: A Fateful Duel



Naruto turned his head towards the voice and saw a spiky-haired boy with a poker face coldly staring at him from behind a tree.

The distinctive ping-pong-ball pattern on his clothing was an unmistakable sign that this was one of the inherently sinister Uchiha kids.

Naruto instantly realized that the poker-faced boy before him had to be none other than Uchiha Sasuke.

But...

What's an Uchiha doing here?

Judging from his posture, he had been watching Naruto for quite some time.

Could it be that Sasuke has a habit of secretly observing others?

Sasuke, meanwhile, stood there with an expression of disdain written all over his face.

With the academy entrance approaching, Sasuke had snuck away to train, hoping to surprise his brother with his progress. However, the morning had been filled with commotion nearby.

Eventually, he discovered that someone about his age was also training there. At first, Sasuke was somewhat impressed by the other boy's determination and grit.

But as time passed…

Sasuke realized this guy was an idiot who couldn't even master the basic Clone Jutsu. He'd been at it all morning, only managing to succeed after hours of trying.

And to make it worse, he looked so proud after accomplishing something so trivial.

When Sasuke had first learned the Clone Jutsu, it had taken him no more than two hours to perfect it. Watching Naruto's struggle had been a complete waste of his valuable time.

"Pathetic," Sasuke thought to himself, though it wasn't clear whether he was mocking Naruto or himself for sticking around so long.

Meanwhile, Naruto whispered in his mind, "Hey, Kurama, help me figure out how much chakra this guy has."

The Nine-Tails glanced lazily at Sasuke and then at the array of magical lamps Naruto had set up.

"0.5 'mag'," Kurama replied. "This kid's chakra is weaker than yours."

Naruto's face instantly showed even more disdain than Sasuke's.

'What a weakling!'

He only has 0.5 'mag' of chakra, and he still dares to act all high and mighty in front of me!

Naruto tilted his head back, staring at Sasuke down his nose, and pointed a finger at him. "Hey, you! You're from the Uchiha clan, aren't you?"

"Wanna spar?"

Sasuke had initially intended to walk away, but upon hearing such a blatant provocation, he stopped in his tracks, slowly turning to face Naruto with a cold gaze.

"Are you looking down on the Uchiha?"

Sasuke held his clan's honor in high regard. To him, Naruto's words were a clear insult to his entire family.

There was no way he could let this slide. This blonde idiot needed to be taught a lesson.

Naruto blinked in confusion.

What kind of twisted logic was this?

Was it a requirement for Uchiha to act like they've just eaten garlic all the time?

"You've misunderstood me…" Naruto said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm only looking down on you."

Naruto's words were the final straw. Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and the veins on his forehead bulged in anger.

Slowly, he walked toward Naruto, their eyes locking.

At that moment, Sasuke had already made up his mind. He knew exactly how he was going to take this guy down.

"Fine. You've successfully pissed me off," Sasuke said coolly. "Now, I'll show you the power of the Uchiha."

Naruto snickered and mimicked Sasuke's movements, forming a hand sign to challenge him.

The two locked eyes for several seconds before Sasuke pulled three kunai from his waist pouch, took a step back, and hurled them at Naruto in a perfect triangle formation.

Naruto had never been in a real fight before. The only experience he could draw from was his elementary school scuffles back in his past life.

But those brawls were nothing compared to a real ninja fight.

Knowing he was at a disadvantage in combat experience, Naruto quickly pulled out a massive iron door from his system and charged toward Sasuke, using it as a shield.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The kunai struck the iron door, producing sharp metallic sounds before falling harmlessly to the ground.

Sasuke's face twisted in disbelief.

'What kind of move is that?'

Who in their right mind pulls out an iron door to block kunai during a fight?

"Take this! Shield Smash!" Naruto roared, swinging the door like a battering ram straight at Sasuke's face.

The sheer force behind the door created a gust of wind as it sliced through the air.

Sasuke's scalp tingled. The door was definitely made of metal.

'How strong is this guy?!'

In a panic, Sasuke flipped and tumbled out of the door's trajectory, narrowly avoiding Naruto's 'shield smash.'

The Third Hokage, who had been watching their battle through his crystal ball, massaged his temples. His face was a picture of exasperation as he puffed on his pipe.

"Who in the world taught Naruto to fight like this?" Hiruzen muttered to himself.

Using a door as a weapon to attack an opponent… This was certainly a creative, if absurd, approach for a ninja.

And yet, despite how ridiculous it looked, Naruto had managed to fend off an attack from a member of the Uchiha clan.

Seeing the six-year-old Naruto wielding a nearly two-meter iron door with ease made the Hokage's head throb even harder.

Realizing his attack had missed, Naruto quickly put the door away and formed hand seals with both hands.

Poof! Poof!

Two clones materialized beside him in a puff of smoke. Naruto then tossed iron rods to his clones, and the three of them charged at Sasuke, wielding the rods like clubs.

The pressure was palpable.

Naruto didn't have any real ninja tools, so he had to rely on items from his system. And as for why he didn't pull out a diamond sword…

Well, he was genuinely afraid of accidentally killing Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as he watched Naruto and his clones advance with their strange weapons.

"Is this some kind of bizarre bloodline limit?" he thought, intrigued. "Interesting."

Sasuke flicked a kunai from his pouch and braced himself, preparing for a close-combat fight.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

He ducked to avoid the incoming rods, placing one hand on the ground to balance himself. With a swift motion, he kicked out both legs, taking down two of Naruto's clones with ease.

"Hmph, too easy," Sasuke said smugly as the clones dispersed into smoke.

But when the smoke cleared, Naruto had disappeared.

Suddenly, a purple cocoon of energy opened behind Sasuke, and a foot lashed out, landing squarely on his rear.

Sasuke stumbled forward, barely catching himself before he face-planted into the dirt.

Before he could recover, Naruto's sweeping kick knocked him off balance. In the blink of an eye, Naruto was straddling him, raining down punches in wild, rapid succession.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Naruto's punches were unrefined, lacking any real technique, but they came fast and hard.

As Naruto pummeled Sasuke, he imagined himself throwing a barrage of "bullet punches" like a character from a martial arts movie.

The relentless punches dazed Sasuke, leaving him too disoriented to defend himself properly.

By the time he regained his senses, all he could do was cover his head with his arms, trying to shield himself from Naruto's onslaught.

On the ground, Sasuke was utterly overwhelmed by Naruto's relentless barrage.

"Damn it!!"

"Damn it!!"

Frustration bubbled up in Sasuke, but there was nothing he could do.

The Third Hokage, watching the scene unfold, was stunned.

Setting aside Naruto's unusual fighting style...

That purple cocoon-like technique he had used just now...

That was without a doubt a space-time ninjutsu!

Glancing at Sasuke, who was being pummeled into the dirt, the Hokage began to worry.

If Naruto kept this up, the poor Uchiha kid might be seriously hurt. How would he explain this to Fugaku?

Sighing heavily, Hiruzen disappeared from his observation spot with a quick Body Flicker Technique.
