'Have I really became weak?' Neji who fallen on the ground struggles to get up. He feels like all bones in his chest were almost crushed by the two kicks. 'Does hard work really beat talent?'
His mind was befuddled by questions. He never would believe this day would come where the person he always looked down upon would so quickly overtaken him.
"Here," Neji looked up seeing Lee stretching his hand out to help him stand up. On Lee's face was a bright and warm smile which touched him deeply. At the same time inspiring him.
"Thanks Lee," said Neji with slight embarrassment to be helped up by his rival Rock Lee.
"As my Senpais always say we're here to bring happiness to the world," Rock Lee said enthusiastically with a thumbs up, "so don't give up Neji-san! Because we can all become stronger with hard work."
Neji really didn't comprehend who were the Senpais Lee was talking about. Forget that, he find Rock Lee's image to be bigger than before. Filled with an awesome light shining forth.
In the distance Sasuke who was watching this scene nodded in agreement. 'Looks like he has really grown and learned,' Sasuke thought to himself with happiness.
At this moment a person wearing a green jumpsuit arrived in front of them patting both of their shoulders in encouragement.
"Lee you have really grown to be a true man," Guy said with tears flowing down his eyes, "this is the true power of youth!!"
"Guy-Sensei!!" Rock Lee also became teary as the two hugged in a very 'manly way'. Surprisingly Neji who's next to them also smiled as though he agrees with Lee's changes.
With a smile watching this scene Sasuke disappeared out of the Live Streaming. In the outside world Iruka was still teaching his lessons.
During lunch time as everybody was eating Ino tapped on Sakura's elbow asking, "Hey billboard brow how could you and Sasuke seemed more closer than usual?"
'Isn't it obvious? It's because we're dating,' Sakura thought inside proudly. Of course she simply answered with ignorance, "I don't really know."
The two watched for a moment at Sasuke who was sitting with Naruto and Hinata joking about some things. Seeing that bright smile on his face both girls blushed at the same time.
"Just so you know I wouldn't give up pursuing Sasuke no matter what," Ino raised her head saying to Sakura proudly with will.
"You say what Ino-pig!!" Sakura was annoyed about Ino trying to steal her boyfriend away from her.
Deep down she does know that it can be hard to keep away the attention. Especially when Sasuke is so way out of the ordinary.
Whenever Sasuke demonstrates his softer side to her she finds her heart simply melt from the love.
At the end of the day as Sakura and Sasuke walked out of the school Sakura asked, "Hey Sasuke I got something to ask you.���
"Hm what is it?" Sasuke looked at her expectantly.
"Well my parents wanted to me to bring you to our home for dinner," Sakura mentioned with hesitation afraid that it'll be a bother for him, "to repay you for helping me."
"Sure no prob," Sasuke answered casually.
"Thanks Sasuke-kun," Sakura smiled in happiness when Sasuke agreed to have dinner with them.
As Sasuke walked with Sakura to her home he founds their hand touching frequently.
Knowing what Sakura's trying to do with her antics made Sasuke revealed a meaningful smile.
'Sakura you got to be more brave. Don't be afraid to take the first step-huh?' Sakura who was doing self-encouragement was surprised by the warmth of Sasuke holding her hand.
Looking downwards she observes Sasuke holding onto her hand. When she observed Sasuke's expression she notices him smiling at her with a knowing smile.
Immediately Sakura looked to her side in embarrassment as Sasuke figured out what she was looking to do.
Yet she didn't try to be released from his hand holding onto hers. Deep inside her heart is now blossoming a yearning for his touch.
When Sasuke arrived inside Sakura's home he found himself welcomed warmly as a guests.
"You children will need to wait for a bit Mebuki is cooking the dinner right now," Kizashi Sakura's father said to Sakura as he brings a newspaper to sit at the dinner table.
Sakura's mother Mebuki who was cooking at the moment turned her face to greet Sasuke, "You must be Sasuke-kun. Our daughter Sakura always talk about how awesome you are."
Her mother was wearing an a pink/white colored apron. With dark yellow hair and smile that is very warm.
"M-mom!!" Sakura said in an annoyed fashion. As she feels so embarrassed that her mother revealed such details in front of her crush Sasuke.
Hearing that, Sasuke simply revealed a good-natured smile. It's not really a big secret since he already knows just how much Sakura likes him in her heart.
"Mrs. Haruno let me help you with your cooking," Sasuke went to her side. Picking up a knife to help her chop up some of the ingredients.
"Sasuke-kun you know how to cook?" Sakura's mother was slightly taken back. Due to the fact that it is really unusual in this cultural for the men to practice culinary art.
"Since I live alone I do know a bit of cooking," Sasuke explained in a casual manner.
In reality Sasuke is without mention the best chief in the entire Konoha. No, he is definitely be the best in the entire Ninja world.
Since in this world there's not many people that specialize in cooking. In Konoha there's only a countable amount of really restaurants.
The only reason Naruto even eat ramen all the time is because that was the only good ramen place in town. If it was on Earth that store would had already went bankrupt a long time ago.
As Sakura's mother watches Sasuke's knife work she stopped her movements. With that fast speed and precision it was all like a work of art.
Regaining her focus Mebuki started paying attention to work along side Sasuke. Soon Sasuke became the main chief in the house.
Sakura and her father also turned to watch in amazement as the food became prepared. "This boy is perfect in all areas. Sakura you must make sure to not let anybody steal him away," her father joked.
"Sasuke-kun is really cool," Sakura muttered under her breathe. Watching from the table how manly Sasuke seemed when he's focused in the kitchen.
Sometimes she feels as though she may be inadequate to be with Sasuke. When she spends time with him she feels so much happiness. At the same time learning and becoming more mature than before.
In the past she would always be judging Naruto as annoying and immature. As she starts spending more time together she learned the more positives sides to Naruto.
At dinner time Sasuke was mostly quite simply listening to the conversations they had. Sakura was like a rebelling teen when her parents revealed embarrassing stories about her childhood.
As much as he like these peaceful days Sasuke feels a strong urge inside him. Something that's dragging him away.
Maybe it is the desire to be stronger to protect the ones who are precious to him.
…
The morning Sasuke sat on a log in the forest of death as he contemplated a new mission issued by the Chat Group System:
[Monthly Mission: Learn both Chidori and Rassengen. Upload to Community Mall. Reward: 100 points+Mysterious Gift]
It wouldn't be too difficult to master both since he had the natural chakra affinity for both wind and lightning.
[VIP]: What monthly missions did you guys get?
[Rock Lee]: It is rare to see you here Senpai! Two weeks ago I got a new monthly mission it was to accept a pupil.
[Jiraiya]: Oh how did that go?
[Rock Lee]: Senpais you would not believe it but Konohamaru has became my disciple(b~_^)b
[Sanji]: Did you use Naruto's Sexy Jutsu…
[Rock Lee]: What?!! No of course not Sanji-senpai. They were in the forest and a boulder came flying at them. Luckily I was there to destroy the bolder to save them.
[VIP]: Good work Lee! You did a good thing. What about you Jiraiya?
[Jiraiya]: My monthly mission was to go for a month without peaking at girls_| ̄|○. Now I'm hold up in a cave
[Sanji]: That's some shitty luck hahaha
[Jiraiya]: What about you Ero-Chief
[Sanji]: Well let's not talk about that…
[Jiraiya]: Say it!!
[Sanji]: (´д`)My monthly mission was to burn all my **#@Magazines…
[Jiraiya]: Hahahaha
[Rock Lee]: Sorry to hear that Sanji-senpai
[Sanji]: Right now I'm still deciding whether to burn my very last magazine. Noooo my precious!!
Sasuke reading over the chats shakes his head with laughter. Looks like life is kind of hard all around for anybody.
Exiting the Chat Group Sasuke's eyes turned into firm resolve. For the next month he decided to isolate himself in the forest and focus on mastering the two skills.
In the quiet of the dark jungle where trees surround everywhere to no light Sasuke performs hand signs with rapid speed.
Finally he shouts, "Chidori!!"
A blue light appears breaking the ominous silence. The electricity were not strong only coupling with bends of flying electricity.
In the following week and a half besides eating and sleeping Sasuke pretty much used all of his time training the Chidori till perfection.
"Chidori!!" A voice echoed out in the forest. With his sharingan opened Sasuke ran towards a tree channeling the electricity onto the large tree tree.
Ka-cha
The waist of the tree bended and collapsed backward creating a huge collapsing sound. Awakening some birds flying into the air to flee.
These days Sasuke used his shadow clone to go to school. Nobody was able to detect any differences from his usual behavior.
'Next up is learning the rasengan,' said Sasuke as he picked up a red water balloon from a big pile.
As hold the water ballon Sasuke tried to imitate what he learned from watching the original series. There was still a huge challenge to try and surmount the obstacle without a teacher.
Within a few days he was finally able to master the rasengan. In the end he uploaded both new skills he learned to the Community Mall.
Finishing uploading the Chidori and Rasengan Sasuke also upgraded from them other skills.
For the Chidori skill tree it is [Chidori Current],[Chidori Sharp Spear], and [Chidori Senbon].
For the Rasengan skill tree it is [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] and [Massive Rasengan].
Sasuke sighed as he viewed these new skills that can be bought in the community. It is like seeing a big gold mountain and not being able to dig it.
Most of these skills cost from around 200-300 community points. Darn impossible.
'One day I will buy all these skills,' Sasuke promised himself as he licked his wounds.
Finishing the monthly quest he went to see what was the mysterious reward that the System promised him.
When Sasuke clicked 'open' he discovered a new option popped out of the interface:
[System has merged Rasengan & Chidori do you want to learn new skill] [Yes] [No]
Sasuke who was originally tired out from all the practicing these days became excited as he clicked the 'yes' button in the screen.
There was a new word and information that appeared in his mind. Quickly becoming a natural part of his body's learned experiences.
Looking down at his hand Sasuke muttered the name, "Rasenchidori!!"
It was insane to imagine that he was able to one day combine these famous skills from the anime into one.
In his hand was blue ball of twirling rasengan that is gather wind. Around the circle were flashes of small bolts of lightning.
For some reason Sasuke feel like he could also this ball of energy. So acted like throwing a baseball hitting it towards a boulder twice his height.
