Sakura had never before experienced such a profound sense of guilt or hurt. She had been considering this topic for some time at this point. But she is unable to explain either how or why she has come to this conclusion. We are speaking about Naruto here, who is known for being the most inept student in his class. She gave herself some time to reflect, and while she was doing so, she considered apologising to Naruto for what she had done. She even entertained the idea that there must be something else she could do to assist Naruto and bring him solace.
She was at a loss to explain why she felt the need to console Naruto, but she did. But at that time, she made the decision to search for Naruto.
"I really have been tough on Naruto, and I should probably apologise to him," the speaker said. Sakura said to herself
After leaving the bridge, Sakura went in search of Naruto.
(While this was going on at the training ground) Sasuke and Naruto were getting ready for another bout of sparring. They assumed the stances used in sparring in order to get themselves ready for the fight.
Naruto smiled his characteristic smile of self-assurance, knowing that he will prevail over Sasuke.
"Teme, I'm going to handily defeat you this time." Naruto smiled
"You'll lose like you always do dobe." Sasuke smirked
Both of the young men charged each other. Their fists were shaking violently.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Both of the young boys screamed and charged at one another.
Naruto attempted to punch Sasuke in the face, but Sasuke was able to block the blow before it connected with his face. As a result, Naruto received a punch to the face from Sasuke. Naruto pushed Sasuke away from him with his foot and rubbed the spot on his cheek where Sasuke had punched him. Sasuke had been hit by Naruto. After that, he delivered one more blow to Sasuke. Sasuke made no movement at all; he was simply standing there with his hands stuffed into his pockets. Prepared for the blow that Naruto will deliver. Naruto attempted to punch Sasuke, but Sasuke blocked the blow and knocked Naruto to the ground with his foot. In an effort to prevent the blonde from escaping, he gave chase to him and tackled him before pulling his arms behind his back.
Naruto had reached his limit. He was determined not to suffer another defeat at the hands of this cretin. He disengaged his hands from Sasuke and yelled, "SHADOW CLONE JUSTSU!" in rapid succession. POOF! A circle was formed by approximately five clones that appeared around Naruto and Sasuke in order to prevent the young Uchiha from escaping.
"So our Taijutsu fight has turned into Ninjutsu. It would appear that we are progressing to the next level in the battle." Sasuke gave a smirk while he looked around at the clones and smiled.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The clones as a whole shrieked and pounced in Sasuke's direction. Sasuke leaped to a higher position, giving the clones the opportunity to attack the real Naruto instead.
The phrase "Fireball Justu!" was yelled out by Sasuke.
A flaming ball of fire erupted from his mouth and rushed in the direction of the clones. The fireball quickly approached Naruto and his clones and came to a stop in front of them. Naruto was struck, and the enemies were scattered. SMASH! The fireball landed on the ground. Smoke was the only thing that remained, and once the smoke cleared away, Sasuke could not find Naruto anywhere.
Sasuke reasoned that the man had to have gotten away somehow.
"HEY TEME!" When Sasuke turned around, he saw Naruto right behind him, punching him in the face. Sasuke reacted by turning around himself.
The area where Naruto had punched Sasuke was bleeding, so he held his nose to stop the bleeding. This presented Naruto with an opening, and he took advantage of it by attacking the Uchiha with a combination of kicks and punches.
Sasuke was found lying on the ground, unconscious. Looking at Naruto smiling at him.
"What's the matter, Teme. Are you prepared to give up?" Naruto smirked "Never dope. I didn't be too hard on you." Sasuke replied, Smirking at Naruto
After Sasuke regained his footing and jumped to his feet, he formed the Chidori by grabbing one of his hands. Spikes and volts of electricity shot out of his hand, and they were about to be absorbed by the electricity.
Sasuke made a beeline for Naruto and charged at him.
"CHIDORI!" Sasuke let out a yell.
Naruto extended one of his hands and began circling the palm of the other hand around the extended hand in a sphere motion. Rasengan is the name of the Jutsu that was formed when his hand came to hold a ball of Chakra.
Naruto gave Sasuke a smirk before quickly lunging at him with a fully formed Rasengan. Sasuke was left speechless.
"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled it out.
After that, both Genins made a dash for it towards one another. Hitting both attacks, which resulted in an explosion of electricity and chakra that pushed the boys further apart from one another. BOOM!
Sasuke and Naruto were both sent flying in opposite directions.
Both Naruto and Sasuke quickly got back on their feet while giving each other a sly grin. They were just getting started, but both sides were eager to carry on with the conflict.
Sasuke attacked Naruto while Naruto did nothing to stop him. The explosion temporarily impaired Naruto's vision, and he needed some time to pass before his eyesight returned to normal.
Sasuke had arrived at that point and was getting ready to punch Naruto, but for some reason, Naruto was able to hear Sasuke's steps and movements, so he was able to avoid getting hit. In a flash, he sidestepped Sasuke and brought him crashing to the ground with a tackle.
"How, he wasn't seeing me, how did Naruto know I was coming?" "How did Naruto know I was coming?" Sasuke was thinking "WHAT IN THE HECK WAS THAT!? I HEARD THAT SASUKE WAS NEAR ME AND KNEW WHICH DIRECTION HOW!?" While doing so, Naruto rubbed his eyes thoughtfully.
As soon as Naruto's eyes were rubbed, Sasuke broke free of Naruto's hold and kicked him, sending him flying across the field. Naruto was knocked unconscious.
When Naruto stood back up, he saw Sasuke approaching the door carrying a Chidori. As Sasuke was too fast for Naruto to escape, he knew he was going to lose this fight so he prepared for it. Naruto was ready for the hit. Sasuke was too fast for Naruto to escape.
When Sasuke was about to strike Naruto, Chidori rang out from Sasuke's mouth. BOOM! Although the Chidori was successful, it did not appear to harm Naruto.
After the smoke had cleared, it was clear that Naruto had not been injured. However, the most peculiar aspect of the situation was that he was guarded by nine red Chakra tails that were emerging from his butt. When Naruto opened his eyes, he saw that the Chidori had missed him despite the fact that he should have been struck by it.
When he opened his eyes, he saw nine tails surrounding him and guarding him. The moment they saw these tails protecting Naruto, both of the Gennin's eyes widened to their fullest potential. He was encircled by nine enormous tails that were about the size of logs. Sasuke saw Naruto's eyes as the tails slowly moved apart from one another. These eyes, which had once been Naruto's but are now those of a Crimson Red fox, were revealed to Sasuke. Not only that, but Sasuke was also able to sense Naruto's chakra, and from what he could tell, it was different, very different, and much more... evil.
"What the heck is this, NARUTO?! A BLOOD LINE OR SOMETHING OF THE KIND?" Sasuke Concerned inquiries were made.
On the other hand, Naruto was concerned because he was aware of where they were coming from... Those known as the Kyuubi. "DAMN IT, I CAN'T LET TEME FIND OUT, I HAVE TO PULL THEM BACK IN!" [Translation: Naruto let out a shout inside his head. As Naruto gradually drew the tails back into himself, they gradually made their way back to him. causing Sasuke to scratch his head and wonder what on earth that was.
"What kind of dope was that?" Sasuke asked.
"Nothing. It was only a new Jutsu that I picked up, nothing more." Naruto gave a response.
At first, Sasuke was curious about It, but now that the two of them were fighting, he realised that finding out about It would have to wait. "Shall we proceed with what we were doing?" Sasuke smirked.
After that, Sasuke punched Naruto multiple times in rapid succession. After drawing his tails back into himself, all that was left for Naruto to do was block their path because he was too exhausted to fight. After that, Naruto was forced to the ground and restrained there. When there was neither a sign of movement nor anything else that suggested Naruto would make a speedy recovery, the battle between the two was stopped and the match declared over. Sasuke was victorious, and Naruto had been vanquished.
During the fight between Sasuke and Naruto, Naruto was replaying in his head all of the insults that Sakura had hurled at him. "EVERYTHING YOU CONSIDER, KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU COULD BECOME HOKAGE! AS IF YOU COULD EVER ACHIEVES YOUR GOAL OF BECOMING THE MOST POWERFUL NINJA IN THE VILLAGE! YOU ARE AND NEVER WILL BE STRONGER THAN SASUKE-KUN! ". "YOU WILL DEGENERATE INTO NOTHING MORE THAN A STUPID CHILD WHO IS TREATED AWFULLY BY THE VILLAGE BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A MONSTER! THEY DO HAVE A POINT! MONSTERS ARE STUPID SENSELESS AND ANNOYING BASTARD SO LEAVE ME ALONE! ". "SO, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE AND PLAY HOKAGE LIKE THE STUPID SENSELESS IDIOT THAT YOU ARE HUH?!!" These words caused Naruto to behave in an uncontrollable manner; however, he did his best to keep It under control. It wasn't just Sakura; everything that had happened over the years, including the abuse at the hands of the villagers, had been kept inside of Naruto by a Dam so that his emotions could be kept in check. This was done to ensure that his feelings would not overflow. However, there is a capacity restriction on that dam. As is the case with all Dam It overfills. As a result, it explodes, and the effects of the explosion are devastating, particularly for a person who has kept his feelings bottled up inside of him. Those words Sakura said, along with the pain, were the last of what had needed to be said because the dam had finally broken. Naruto had kept everything he felt inside of him hidden for so long. Following the explosion, a massive orange fox grinned diabolically from behind a row of golden bars. At a location where the ground appeared to be a light brown colour similar to water. The fox understood with that smile that it was time for him to emerge from his den.
Because Naruto's anger was so great, he lost all ability to control his feelings. He could feel the seal on him, the one that had been protecting the Kyuubi, breaking. He wasn't sure why, but he was more preoccupied with defeating Sasuke and thinking about what Sakura had said than he was with the seal. He didn't even realise it. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated and angry he became.
