Chapter 170 Can't Afford to Lose

Uchiha clan land.

Training ground.

"Chidori!" Sasuke's hand lit up and he rushed towards Naruto quickly.

With the help of his clone, Naruto also rolled a ball.

"Rasengan!"

"Boom!"

The two moves collided fiercely, a rumble sounded, and the grass on the ground splashed.

After a stalemate, both flew backwards.

When Naruto landed, the shadow clone behind him caught him.

Sasuke retreated again and again, but he bumped into someone's arms.

Sasuke looked up and saw that it was his brother.

"Okay Sasuke, the competition ends here."

Sasuke was very angry: "Naruto and I haven't decided the winner yet!"

Itachi looked at Sasuke's bloody arm.

"Really?"

There was no ripple in Itachi's tone, and then he grabbed Sasuke's left hand.

"Then can your left hand still move?"

"Ah..."

Sasuke felt a piercing pain in his left hand.

"Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto stood firm and ran over quickly.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I..." Naruto was at a loss when he saw Sasuke's left hand.

Sasuke saw that Naruto had basically no injuries on his hand, and turned his head angrily: "Don't bother with it!"

Before Itachi could say anything, a figure suddenly appeared beside Sasuke and hit him on the head with a slap.

Sasuke was stunned and almost fell to the ground.

"Why, can't you accept that you lost?" Xia Mu's voice sounded.

Xia Mu looked down at Sasuke, his face blocked by the shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Sasuke whispered: "Teacher..."

Naruto scratched his head beside him: "Senior Xia Mu..."

"Naruto, don't talk first." Xia Mu stopped Naruto's words.

"They were fine when I left this afternoon, why are they fighting now?"

Sasuke pinched his painful left hand and turned his head away: "I noticed last time that Naruto always gave me a break in previous competitions."

"So you want to try again now that your Sharingan has evolved?"

Sasuke didn't answer after hearing Xia Mu's question, but just pouted.

Xia Mu pinched his eyebrows, not expecting that Naruto now has the emotional intelligence to read people's expressions and deliberately lose to Sasuke.

Xia Mu waved his hand and called Naruto to his side: "Naruto, do you know you are wrong?"

"Ah... I... um..." Naruto hesitated, not knowing whether Xia Mu was because he hurt Sasuke or because of something else.

Naruto gave in to Sasuke before to take care of Sasuke's self-esteem. He was afraid that if he won, Sasuke would be angry with him.

As a result, Sasuke wanted to compete with him again today no matter what, and said that if he held back this time, he would never talk to him again.

So Sasuke was injured.

Naruto also felt a little wronged, with tears welling up in his eyes.

Xia Mu sighed, probably guessing what Naruto was thinking.

Touching Naruto's head, he said, "Naruto, partners should not conceal or deceive each other. You are stronger than Sasuke now, but will you always be stronger than Sasuke?"

"You deceived Sasuke and made Sasuke immersed in a false victory, which will only make him arrogant."

"Look." Xia Mu pointed at Sasuke who turned his head away and secretly listened.

"Sasuke has won you too many times before, but now he loses, and he can't afford to lose."

Sasuke's face turned red, and he couldn't help but shouted, "Who said I can't afford to lose!"

Xia Mu gave Sasuke another slap: "You can afford to lose, who are you standing there and turning around to see?"

"The winner has been decided, do you need me to teach you what to do?"

Sasuke reluctantly stretched out his right hand.

Naruto also stretched out his hand and made a reconciliation seal with Sasuke.

Xia Mu winked at Naruto, who nodded and sincerely apologized to Sasuke.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I won't give in to you next time."

Sasuke made the seal of reconciliation and snorted: "Who asked you to give in? Next time, I will definitely beat you."

"Okay, okay, you two, you always make me worry. You two go find Shizune for a checkup and treatment."

Xia Mu rubbed their heads and asked them to find Shizune by themselves.

"I know, teacher, brother, I'll go get treatment first."

Sasuke struggled twice, but Xia Mu still messed up his hair.

Naruto, in order to show closeness, hugged Sasuke: "Sasuke, next time we compete, the loser will treat us, okay?"

"Humph, I will definitely win next time."

"Okay, okay, then I'll treat you next time!"

"Don't let me..."

Seeing the two little ones go away, Itachi looked at Sasuke's hanging left hand, but Naruto was not hurt at all.

I couldn't help asking Xia Mu: "Clan leader, is there such a big gap between Sasuke and Naruto?"

Xia Mu's face was relatively calm: "What are you talking about? You are not allowed to call me clan leader. It's strange."

Itachi smiled for a rare time: "Yes, senior."

Xia Mu smiled a little when he heard Itachi change the address.

"Sasuke is now weaker than Naruto, because Naruto's shadow clone training method is improving very rapidly."

"This is a talent, there is nothing to say."

After all, not everyone can squander chakra like Naruto to split a bunch of shadow clones.

And can also withstand the fatigue of the shadow clones.

"But..." Xia Mu changed the subject.

"Sasuke is not much worse than Naruto. You see that Naruto has no wounds on his hands because the Nine-Tails in Naruto has healed Naruto's wounds."

"You spoiled Sasuke too much in the past, which made him always think highly of himself. Fugaku's teaching on ninjutsu is pretty good, but he didn't pay attention to other aspects."

"Sasuke is too narrow-minded, it's good for him to suffer a little blow."

Itachi nodded. He discovered it during his last competition with Sasuke.

Although Sasuke has made some progress in strength, he still lacks a lot in combat awareness and mentality.

Although Sasuke is already very good at his age, he is still a lot worse than Naruto.

Moreover, the ninja world is not peaceful now. If Sasuke grows up early, it will also be a guarantee for his own safety.

"Don't worry about Sasuke's growth. If I'm right, he will probably come to you to give him extra training in the evening."

"When the time comes, you should train him hard, but don't feel bad."

"Tsunade is in the clan, it's not a big deal if she's not dead."

Itachi nodded, it's time to train Sasuke properly.

...

Xia Mu is now used to leaving a shadow clone to work in the clan when he goes out.

Now when he walks into the office, he cancels the shadow clone.

Suddenly a lot of information rushed into his mind.

Xia Mu pinched his eyebrows, a shadow clone has so much information to process, I really don't know how Naruto can separate so much.

Xia Mu picked up two more important documents on the table.

The first one was a message from Uchiha sent to the Land of Demons, the priestess Miroku died, leaving only an orphan girl Shion.

Shion did not learn the time-sealing array.

Xia Mu thought about it.

Now Miroku is dead, so Xia Mu's plan to seal the time array has gone down the drain.

I remember that the seal of Shion is very powerful, but it cannot be used now. It has to wait until she grows up.

But by then, the opportunity will be gone.

It seems that the Ghost Country will not get any help.
