****************
Although it had been several years, Sasuke still remembered what Itachi once said about this guy in front of him.
'Hmph'
Since it was impossible to defeat Itachi now, he decided to first defeat Colt, who he recognized as a rival, to prove that he was completely different than him!
Colt shrugged and walked slowly to the ring.
At Iruka's request, the two first formed a seal of opposition.
Beating children or something… he liked it the most.
"Come on, Colt! Defeat that arrogant Sasuke!" Naruto cheered loudly, even more excited than the combatants themselves.
"Shut up, you idiot! Sasuke, you can do it!" Sakura was so angry at Naruto that she momentarily forgot about her own match loss. She then cheered for Sasuke with a fervent expression, her face changing so quickly it left Naruto stunned.
"Shut up, you both are so noisy!"
Sasuke frowned at first, scolding Naruto and Sakura in displeasure, and then looked at Colt.
The latter was taking a fighting stance with both hands raised.
"You go first. If I attack, you won't be able to take a single move."
The arrogance of Sasuke's words ushered in the screams of the little girls around them.
"What? Colt won't lose to him!" Ino complained to Hinata in dissatisfaction, but she knew that Colt's strength was definitely not as ordinary as he usually showed.
Hinata also firmly agreed. How could Colt, such a hardworking and talented person, lose to a fellow ninja student?
Not even if he was against the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan would he lose.
'I believe in you, Colt-kun'
Furthermore, with her Byakugan, she knew Colt's hidden abilities better than Ino.
In the ring, Colt grimaced at Sasuke's arrogance. Do these Uchiha have to boast before every fight to psych out their opponents? Those with real strength were called confident, and those like Sasuke were just foolish.
'Tsk'
The sky was clear, the rain had stopped, and Sasuke felt confident once again.
In the original story, every time Sasuke gained strength, he had to be educated.
'Heh'
When he first awakened his Sharingan with one Tomoe in the Land of Waves and took part in the exam, he was educated by Rock Lee who competed against him.
Then, after learning Chidori, he was taught a lesson by Gaara as he fought against him.
Later, even after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was humbled by Killer Bee almost instantly, and then beaten by a Kage in the same time frame.
Colt had to inherit such a good tradition.
As soon as his right hand was lifted, three shuriken were thrown out.
Sasuke sneered.
'Throwing such weak shuriken? Itachi, is this the person you were so optimistic about? Just laughable!'
Pulling out a kunai, he easily blocked the shurikens and rushed towards Colt, who was standing dumbfounded at how casually he stopped the attack.
Sasuke suddenly had no interest in drawing the fight out and wanted a quick resolution.
This level was not worthy just yet to be his opponent.
Holding the kunai in his right hand, Sasuke stabbed straight out. With his speed, Colt couldn't react to this blow at all.
Just when Sasuke thought victory was in his hands, Colt sidestepped the kunai easily and grabbed his wrist precisely.
Raising his knee, he slammed it into Sasuke's chest.
Sasuke, who had been moving with too much force, couldn't control his body at all and could only twist awkwardly, avoiding a critical hit.
"Ugh!"
Sasuke was knocked back, his breathing momentarily halted, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Sasuke, you can't do this either; your speed is too slow."
Colt returned to his original standing position and looked at Sasuke mockingly.
"Bastard!"
Sasuke rushed up again, this time, even though a bit angered, he was much more cautious.
Colt played along, and their fists crossed, making a thumping sound.
Sasuke, after all, had the Uchiha clan's formidable physique, and his burst of attacks looked impressive.
The students in the audience were amazed. These two were so powerful; compared to them, their own training was like child's play.
"Come on, Colt!"
"Go, Sasuke!"
The girls in the class were divided into two factions, cheering for their respective idols. Shikamaru's scalp was numb—these girls were terrifying.
The scene seemed evenly matched, with Sasuke even appearing to be on the offensive. But only Sasuke knew how uncomfortable he was.
No matter what moves he used, Colt blocked them precisely. Sasuke's physical abilities and reaction speed were completely outmatched by Colt's.
Dodging Sasuke's whip-like kick, Colt countered and kicked Sasuke away again.
This time, Sasuke didn't rush up like before. He realized that physical skills alone were no match for Colt.
"If that's the case, let's use this move to decide the winner!" Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he started forming hand seals.
"Not good!" Iruka, being a Chūnin, could tell at a glance that Sasuke was about to use a Fire Style jutsu. This was well beyond the realm of the current students' abilities. He focused intently, ready to rescue Colt if needed.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A fiery fireball spewed out of Sasuke's mouth at the end of the seals, and rapidly expanded to the size of a man.
"Woah!"
The onlooking students exclaimed; this was the first time Ninjutsu had appeared today.
Colt also formed his own hand seals.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm!" A hurricane flew out of his hand, directly blowing the fireball away.
The gust then hit Sasuke, who was stunned and unable to react. The strong wind knocked him flying until he fell to the ground, and Colt's figure appeared above him, pointing a kunai at his throat.
"The battle is over. The winner: Kamiyo Colt!"
"Form the Seal of Reconciliation!"
Iruka hurriedly announced the results of the competition. To be honest, he was a little surprised that Colt was so strong.
Sasuke was also dumbfounded until he formed the Seal of Reconciliation with Colt.
Had he really lost like that? After the Uchiha massacre, Sasuke had only one goal: to kill the man responsible.
He trained hard every day, yet he couldn't even beat Colt.
For a moment, Sasuke fell into deep self-doubt.
"Let me help you heal," Colt said with a smile, extending his hand and pressing it on Sasuke's wound from the strong wind and fall. After waiting for so long, he finally got the chance to harvest some ignorant sheep.
"Kamiyo Colt, I will definitely beat you the next time!" Although Sasuke loved to act superior, his competitive spirit was still indomitable. After recovering, he immediately issued a challenge.
"No problem. You are welcome to challenge me at any time," Colt replied.
However, inwardly he was annoyed.
And that was because he had heard the system's prompt tone, so he was a little dissatisfied.
'I got just some points and base stats from healing him? What about Indra's Chakra?'
Capítulo 28: Chapter 28: Kakashi, and The playful Ino

After the two returned to their places, the remaining matches were somewhat lackluster.
However, witnessing the dazzling ninjutsu duel had greatly improved the students' perception.
Iruka announced the end of the practical combat class after the last bout between Shikamaru and a civilian.
Colt was undoubtedly the number one student of the year. This was something everyone understood.
On the way back to the classroom, the students were still discussing the ninjutsu used by Sasuke and Colt.
It's not unusual for an Uchiha like Sasuke to know advanced ninjutsu.
But Colt had been rather unremarkable in school for the past two years, known mainly for his good looks and being favored by Ino and Hinata.
No one expected him to be so powerful.
...
Meanwhile, the Third Hokage also had a panoramic view of this battle.
"It seems the ninja academy is becoming less and less useful for Colt."
The Third was quite aware of Colt's strength, having observed his training several times.
Of course, this was only the portion deliberately exposed by Colt.
He had always been one to hide his full capabilities.
Not out of treachery, but due to a threat every ninja must face - Danzō Shimura.
That wretched man's ambitions knew no bounds, held in check only by the Third's protection.
Colt had no plans to confront him unless Danzō betrayed the village.
Hence, Colt only revealed his basic ninjutsu to the Third, keeping his more powerful abilities deeply hidden.
This would neither lose the Third's favor nor pique too much of Danzō's interest.
However, having to constantly hold back was quite vexing.
Once Colt became the Hokage after Tsunade, he planned to find a way to neutralize Danzō's influence once and for all.
That's right, he did want to become a Hokage.
Ahem, that topic was getting sidetracked.
Back to the Third.
In his opinion, Colt could become a ninja without attending the academy.
However, the academy's role was not just teaching, but also fostering bonds between classmates.
Only by understanding the importance of comrades would they give their all to protect each other on missions.
This was the founding principle of Konoha and the bedrock of its strength.
Moreover, Konoha had no shortage of shinobi currently, so there was no need to rush a child's career to become a ninja.
Still, Colt's progress could not be delayed either.
With no news from Tsunade yet, the Third planned to find a temporary instructor for Colt.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
A white-haired, masked man with a spiky hairstyle walked in.
It was Kakashi Hatake.
"Kakashi, I heard the genin team I asked you to lead was judged unqualified by you and sent back to the academy?"
Earlier this year, the Third had pulled Kakashi out of the Anbu.
He had great expectations for this student of his late disciple.
Remaining in the Anbu's shadows for too long was unhealthy for one's psyche.
Kakashi did not refute this.
"They were not ready to become shinobi."
Clearly referring to his bell test, which the team had failed.
Seeing this, the Third sighed, understanding why Kakashi had become so jaded.
"I have a personal request for you."
"Please, go on."
The Third handed Kakashi Colt's file and explained.
"Colt is a young man I'm very hopeful about. His talent is immense, and he has awoken a powerful medical bloodline limit."
"My purpose in calling you is to have you instruct him in ninjutsu."
"You want him to graduate early?"
Kakashi glanced at Colt's photo, his mind stirring slightly.
He recognized this youth, having seen his lonely figure beside the memorial stone every year.
So that was Colt?
The Third shook his head.
"No, this young man is so gifted that the academy curriculum is useless for him."
"As Konoha's foremost ninjutsu specialist with no current duties, you can provide him with suitable training."
After a moment's thought, Kakashi agreed to the Third's request.
He was still ill-suited to life outside the Anbu's shadows. Mentoring this prodigy would be an interesting change of pace.
"Don't worry, after assessing his affinities, I'll teach him the appropriate ninjutsu."
The Third smiled happily. "Don't underestimate Colt, Kakashi. His genius is easily your equal."
"Also, his late father was my former guard, Shin. Basic techniques won't suffice for him."
Kakashi had heard of Shin's reputation, though he hadn't interacted with the youth before.
"I understand."
After finalizing the arrangements, Kakashi left.
The Third then activated his crystal ball, skillfully angling its view toward an open-air hot spring.
"I wonder if the lovely Mrs. Inoue will grace us today..."
A lecherous chuckle echoed throughout the empty room.
...
"Colt, you were so dashing today! Sasuke couldn't hold a candle to you!"
On the way home, Ino fluttered around Colt like an excited songbird.
Defeating a student like Sasuke was quite the feat after all.
Colt shrugged nonchalantly.
"Ino, while Sasuke is weak, you're still not his match either."
"I know your clan's ninjutsu is formidable, but it has glaring weaknesses too."
"Think about it - what would you do without Shikamaru and Chōji to support you?"
Ino smiled coyly almost instantly.
"But I'd still have you, Colt. You're the best."
This little girl's flirtations knew no bounds.
Colt sighed, unable to refute her words directly.
"I can't be by your side forever. When the time comes, you'll need to rely on your Ino-Shika-Chō formation."
"You'll need to develop some other skills then."
Struck by Colt's advice, Ino fell into deep thought.
Besides her clan techniques and the Mind Transfer Jutsu, she lacked proficiency in other ninjutsu.
Her physical abilities were mediocre too.
After pondering for a while, Ino nodded resolutely.
"I see. I'll ask Dad to give me special training when I get home."
Hinata smiled softly, observing this exchange.
She didn't mind Ino's presence at all.
For she knew that in Colt's heart, her position was utterly unique.
That was enough for her.
'Time to go home.'
After walking Hinata home, Colt prepared to head back himself.
Suddenly, an Anbu appeared before him.
"Colt, Lord Third has summoned you to Training Ground 1 this Saturday afternoon."
"Understood."
Though puzzled, Colt agreed readily.
Satisfied, the Anbu departed swiftly without further preamble.
Their cold demeanor didn't faze Colt at all.
Anbu operatives were just like that - terse and all business while on duty.
Instead, he was curious about the Third's intentions behind this summons.
Was this to teach him new ninjutsu?
If so, that would be wonderful.
Over the years, his diligent Shadow Clones had been gleaning all they could.
But Konoha's true powerhouses were a rare few. The other shinobi, while skilled, lacked mastery over the highest techniques.
Until now, Colt had yet to acquire a definitive signature technique.
He could always pursue them through exchanges via System shopping, but that felt wasteful.
If only he could be taught the Rasengan directly, without the need for secrecy around its principles.
In his past life, Jiraiya had clearly explained the Rasengan's core concepts and training methods.
With his current chakra control, Colt could likely master it swiftly.
With his chakra mastery, [Colt] could likely master the Rasengan swiftly.
Suddenly…
"Let me go!"
The shouts and familiar voice from a distance instantly attracted Colt's attention.
