"SASUKE, STOP!!!"
But it was too late.
Blinded by anger, Sasuke didn't care anymore.
Chakra gathered in his mouth—
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!!"
A massive fireball roared toward Sarutobi Hakuto.
"He knows ninjutsu?!"
"Wow! So cool!"
"Sasuke is amazing!"
The girls screamed in excitement.
Even Shikamaru looked serious now.
"This is bad…"
Everyone watched—
As Sarutobi Hakuto stood still.
No dodge.
No reaction.
As if it were nothing.
"Damn it! Sarutobi Hakuto, MOVE!!" Iruka shouted.
BOOM!!!
The fireball engulfed him.
Flames soared.
Smoke filled the air.
Sarutobi Hakuto disappeared.
Iruka's eyes went blank.
Direct hit…
At best crippled.
At worst—
Dead.
"Hahahahaha!!!"
"As expected, just trash!"
Sasuke laughed wildly.
But unnoticed—
More people had arrived.
ANBU.
Root.
Uchiha Fugaku.
Hiruzen.
Danzō.
Fugaku nearly fainted.
His son had just blasted the Hokage's grandson.
Direct hit.
But Hiruzen and Danzō remained calm.
The Hyūga had already confirmed—
Sarutobi Hakuto was completely fine.
"…That's it?"
A voice came from the smoke.
Sarutobi Hakuto casually waved his hand—
The smoke dispersed instantly.
He stood there.
Completely unharmed.
Sasuke froze.
"That's impossible…!!"
"Why are you not hurt?!"
Sarutobi Hakuto dusted off his clothes.
"You call that an attack?"
"What a joke."
"Garbage jutsu."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
Sasuke snapped.
Grabbing two kunai—
He threw them.
One at the eye.
One at the heart.
CLANG!
Both shattered on impact.
Like hitting steel.
Everyone froze.
"Is… that even human?!"
Hiruzen and Danzō's eyes lit up.
Even more potential than expected.
"Is that all?"
Sarutobi Hakuto slowly walked forward.
Sasuke stood frozen.
Before he could react—
Sarutobi Hakuto was already in front of him.
"W-What are you doing?!"
Sarutobi Hakuto lightly patted his face.
"You're nothing compared to your brother."
"You're not even worth me making a move."
Then he turned and left.
[Ding!]
[Publicly humiliated Uchiha Sasuke]
[Synchronization +8%]
Power surged through his body.
Strength.
Defense.
And now—
Super Speed.
Sarutobi Hakuto smiled.
As expected—
Bullying protagonists gives the best rewards
