Chương 146: Chapter 146: The Bet—Uchiha Akira vs. Uzumaki Naruto

"The Kurama Mode? What's that?" Hearing Akira mention it, Naruto's previously smug expression froze, staring at him in confusion.

"So, you haven't activated Kurama Mode? Then what do you mean by saying you can use the Nine-Tails' chakra?" Akira didn't answer directly, instead responding with another question.

"I mean I can borrow the Nine-Tails' chakra now! Even when I grow four tails, I can still maintain control of myself!" Naruto explained.

"Oh, so when you said you could use the Nine-Tails' chakra, that's what you meant," Akira nodded, understanding.

For some reason, Naruto had felt pretty proud about being able to harness the Nine-Tails' chakra, but seeing Akira's reaction made him feel like his achievement wasn't all that impressive.

"Akira, what is this Kurama Mode you mentioned?" After a brief pause, Naruto couldn't help but ask.

"Well, that depends on when you and the Nine-Tails become completely in sync," Akira responded with a slight smile.

Seeing Akira's expression, Naruto suddenly felt like his earlier boast had been a bit ridiculous. It seemed Akira knew more about the Nine-Tails than he did!

But then again, it made sense. Akira had shown an understanding of the Nine-Tails way back when he first entered Naruto's mindscape.

As for this Kurama Mode, Naruto mentally noted to ask the Nine-Tails about it the next time he got a chance.

Naruto now felt like he had been bragging to someone who was miles ahead of him, much like a Saiyan from Dragon Ball boasting about their power level, only to be asked if they'd achieved Super Saiyan status—and not even knowing what that was.

In other words, his attempt to show off had only highlighted his ignorance.

"Hey, Akira, did you spend these seven years training hard and getting even stronger?" Naruto asked, his curiosity overcoming any embarrassment he might have felt.

"Me? No, I guess you could say I spent the last seven years asleep, really. I didn't train at all," Akira replied, shaking his head.

And that was the truth. For him, it really did feel like he'd just gone to sleep and woken up seven years later.

"Seriously? Haha, in that case, I think I might actually stand a chance in a sparring match with you now!" Naruto's face lit up with a wide grin upon hearing that Akira hadn't trained.

"A sparring match? Sure, let's see how much you've improved," Akira chuckled, nodding in agreement.

Naruto could now unleash four tails' worth of the Nine-Tails' chakra. In the original series, Naruto at that level could even hold his own against Orochimaru. That meant he was definitely at Kage-level strength.

This would be a good opportunity to test Naruto's progress, and it would also give Akira a chance to gauge his own strength since achieving Sage Mode and his dragon transformation.

Naruto was certainly qualified to be his sparring partner now.

"Great! Let's get to it!" Naruto's excitement was palpable as Akira agreed to the sparring match.

"You're way too excited. Anyone who saw you right now might think you've already won," Akira teased, seeing Naruto's overjoyed expression.

"Winning doesn't matter. The important thing is that you're willing to spar with me—that means you acknowledge my strength, right?" Naruto responded cheerfully.

Naruto's mindset was admirable. Winning was great, but it wasn't the be-all and end-all. What mattered to him was that Akira was willing to recognize his progress by agreeing to fight. That alone was a huge step up from seven years ago when he couldn't even get Akira to notice him.

Akira smiled at Naruto's attitude, genuinely appreciating it.

With their match confirmed, the two left the house and headed to one of the training grounds in the Uchiha compound.

Naturally, Akira's grandfather, Keiko, and Orochimaru followed to watch the fight, curious to see how much Akira's strength had changed over the past seven years.

Word quickly spread, and soon enough, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Might Guy also made their way to the Uchiha compound, eager to catch up with Akira after hearing he had returned to the village.

Upon learning about the upcoming sparring match between Akira and Naruto, they all headed straight for the training ground to witness it firsthand.

Over the last seven years, Naruto's reputation had grown considerably, not just in Konoha but across the entire shinobi world. His status as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki was well known.

"So, who do you think will win this match between these two?" Jiraiya asked Orochimaru quietly as they stood on the sidelines.

"Akira," Orochimaru answered without hesitation.

"What about you?" Jiraiya turned to Kakashi for his opinion.

"I think Akira's chances of winning are higher, but…" Kakashi began, pausing before continuing, "But Naruto is the most unpredictable ninja I know. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of him winning either."

Well, that was about as noncommittal as it gets, Jiraiya thought to himself.

Next, Jiraiya turned to Might Guy to get his take.

"Sure, Naruto's strong, but we don't know how much Akira has progressed in these seven years. If he opens the Eight Gates, Naruto probably doesn't stand a chance," Might Guy replied, considering the various possibilities.

"As long as everyone has their opinions, why not place a little bet?" At that moment, Tsunade's voice rang out. She had just arrived on the scene as well.

Tsunade had initially returned to the village to catch up with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, but upon hearing that they were both at the Uchiha compound—and that Akira had returned—she had hurried over as well.

Overhearing the discussion about who might win, Tsunade couldn't resist the opportunity to place a wager.

"Alright, everyone, place your bets! If you're betting on Akira, place your money on the left. If you're betting on Naruto, place it on the right!" Tsunade declared, not even waiting for anyone to agree before she started taking bets.

"I'll bet on Akira—200,000 ryō!" Orochimaru was the first to speak up, firmly placing his bet on Akira.

"I'll bet on Akira too!"

"Same here!"

One after another, Might Guy and Akira's grandfather each took out a substantial amount of money and placed their bets on Akira as well.

"I'm betting on myself—one million ryō!" Although Akira had just returned and didn't have much money on hand, he figured there was no way he could lose to Naruto.

With the odds stacked in his favor, not betting on himself would be foolish.

"You're all betting on him? Fine, I'm betting on myself—two million ryō!" Naruto, now a rich young man, refused to be outdone. Seeing everyone betting on Akira only made him more determined.

"I'll bet on Naruto too," Jiraiya said, confident in Naruto's abilities.

"With these kinds of odds, a bet on Naruto could pay off big if he wins," Kakashi reasoned, deciding to place his money on Naruto as well. Although he thought Akira was likely to win, the potential payout from a Naruto victory was too tempting to ignore.

And so, the bets were placed.

On one side were Akira, Orochimaru, Akira's grandfather, Might Guy, and Keiko, all betting on Akira to win.

On the other side were Jiraiya, Naruto, and Kakashi, betting on Naruto to emerge victorious.

"Haha, alright! I also think Akira is more likely to win, so I'm putting 200,000 ryō on him too!" As the instigator of the bet, Tsunade couldn't resist joining in, finally placing her own bet on Akira.

"Great, just what I needed…" Akira inwardly groaned the moment Tsunade placed her bet. After all, Tsunade had a notorious reputation in the gambling world as the "Legendary Loser."

She was known for never winning a bet, no matter how sure the odds were. If there was one person whose bad luck could turn the tide, it was Tsunade.

Even though Akira felt confident that he wouldn't lose to Naruto, Tsunade's involvement left him feeling just a bit uncertain.

"Alright, Akira, let's do this!" With all the bets placed, Naruto clapped his hands together, signaling the start of the match.

With that, he formed the seals for his signature move, and in a puff of smoke, dozens of shadow clones appeared, all charging straight toward Akira.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Seeing Naruto initiate the fight, Akira's demeanor shifted to a more serious one. He quickly formed the necessary hand seals.

Dozens of fireballs erupted from Akira, hurtling towards Naruto's clones.

Initially, Akira had intended to treat this as a casual spar, just a friendly match. But once Tsunade placed her bet, he knew he had to take this seriously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fireballs hit their targets, and Naruto's clones vanished in bursts of smoke. However, using the cover of the smoke, the real Naruto closed in on Akira, a large Rasengan forming in his hand.

This was clearly the Giant Rasengan.

Moving at incredible speed, Naruto reached Akira in an instant, the massive Rasengan aimed directly at Akira.

Akira's eyes narrowed, and his Sharingan immediately activated, its three tomoe swirling into place.

He was getting serious.

Seeing Akira bring out his Sharingan, everyone watching perked up, knowing that he was no longer holding back. This was the moment to see just how powerful Akira had become in these seven years.

Chương 147: Chapter 147: Jiraiya—Why Does Your Sage Mode Take So Long to Prepare?

Back and forth they went.

With every move Uchiha Akira made, his prowess as a Kage-level shinobi was evident—effortless and commanding. Whether it was dealing with Naruto's Shadow Clone Jutsu, his Rasengan, or even his taijutsu, Akira's three-tomoe Sharingan allowed him to see it all clearly, responding with ease.

As the saying goes, "An expert's skill is apparent at first glance."

Although it seemed neither of them had yet unleashed their full power, the details in their exchanges revealed a lot to the onlookers.

"This kid... Seven years have passed, and his strength has indeed grown. With what he's showing now, he's at least as strong as we are," Jiraiya commented, his tone full of awe.

He recalled how they had once assessed the power levels of Kage-level shinobi, estimating the strength of the Legendary Sannin to be around 30,000 to 40,000 units. Now, the abilities Akira displayed didn't fall short of that at all. And to think he was only fourteen years old!

"Indeed, it's impressive. Truly a remarkable improvement, especially considering he spent these seven years in his dragon transformation, without any actual training," Orochimaru agreed, his eyes fixed intently on Akira.

So this is what a snake's evolution into a dragon looks like? The overall enhancement in his speed, strength, reaction time, and defense... everything has drastically improved!

"And Akira hasn't even used the Eight Gates yet!" Might Guy added, chiming in with his own observation.

"So what? Naruto hasn't tapped into the Nine-Tails' chakra yet!" Jiraiya, while impressed by Akira's strength, couldn't help but root for Naruto. After all, Naruto was his student, and Jiraiya had money riding on him!

Meanwhile, the others continued to quietly discuss the battle. After exchanging blows for a while, Akira and Naruto both launched a powerful punch at each other.

There were no fancy tricks, just a raw clash of strength. Akira's fist collided with Naruto's, and the impact sent Naruto flying backward as if he had been hit by a freight train. He soared over ten meters before flipping midair to land on his feet, though the force still dragged his legs through the dirt, carving deep trenches into the ground.

"What incredible strength!" Naruto thought to himself as he shook off the numbness in his arm, silently marveling at Akira's power.

"Impressive... So this is the strength of a body transformed into a dragon? It's even stronger than the Uzumaki Clan's physique!" Orochimaru was inwardly ecstatic, watching as Akira's raw physical power clearly outmatched Naruto's.

The chakra of the Uzumaki Clan was legendary for its power throughout the shinobi world. And where does chakra come from? It's a fusion of mental and physical energy. If the Uchiha Clan represented the peak of mental power, then the Uzumaki Clan was the pinnacle of physical strength. Yet today, an Uchiha had surpassed an Uzumaki in a contest of raw physical power. This was the power of a dragon!

"Such terrifying physical strength!" Even Might Guy couldn't help but voice his amazement. "I always called myself the Blue Beast of Konoha, but Akira's physique is more like that of a true beast!"

"A beast? You should call it the physique of the king of beasts—a dragon!" Orochimaru glanced at Might Guy, internally scoffing at his lack of imagination.

"Akira, I'm going to get serious now!" Naruto announced after several rounds of exchanges where his taijutsu, shadow clones, and even Giant Rasengan had all proven ineffective.

As he spoke, a malevolent red chakra began to emanate from Naruto's body, filled with an ominous and evil presence. The chakra quickly formed a cloak around him, taking on the shape of a fox, complete with two blood-red tails.

"So, he's tapping into the Nine-Tails' chakra now?" Akira noted calmly as he observed Naruto's transformation.

"Only two tails? Didn't you say you could handle four? Are you underestimating me?" Akira's expression remained indifferent, seemingly unfazed by the sinister chakra before him.

"Let's start slow," Naruto replied, his tone relaxed as he stood cloaked in the Tailed Beast's chakra.

"Looks like he's really underestimating me. Well then, I'll show him just how vast the difference between us really is!" Akira thought, feeling slightly insulted by Naruto's caution.

Naruto wasn't going all out, obviously trying to avoid hurting Akira. But it still felt like he was being underestimated. Taking a deep breath, Akira decided to activate Sage Mode.

As Akira entered Sage Mode, Jiraiya immediately sensed the immense natural energy gathering around him, focusing on Akira.

"Sage Mode? He's finally going to use it?" Jiraiya's eyes widened as he felt the shift in natural energy.

In just a few breaths, Akira's body was surrounded by a blue chakra that flickered like flames. His entire form glowed with a blue aura, and the sheer magnitude of his chakra now surpassed even Naruto's.

"This is Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave!?" Orochimaru and the others couldn't take their eyes off Akira's transformation.

Meanwhile, Akira's body moved like lightning, so fast that even the experienced shinobi watching had trouble keeping up. In an instant, Naruto was sent flying again, this time hurtling over a hundred meters through the air. The impact was so powerful it nearly tore his Tailed Beast cloak apart.

Kakashi silently pushed up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan. Similarly, Akira's grandfather and Keiko activated their three-tomoe Sharingan as well.

Under Sage Mode, Akira's power had skyrocketed, and they could barely track his movements.

After sending Naruto flying, Akira pursued him without hesitation. One punch, two punches, three punches, ten punches…

With the power of Sage Mode, Akira felt his strength elevate across the board. Naruto, on the other hand, had become little more than a punching bag, unable to keep up. Even his movements were slower than the speed at which Akira was sending him flying.

This was the very definition of a one-sided beating.

In this lopsided battle, with Naruto, the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, being treated like a mere training dummy, everyone watching was struck by the overwhelming power Akira now wielded.

Even though Akira was holding back to avoid seriously injuring Naruto, the barrage of attacks still left Naruto feeling battered and bruised. As the fight continued, the chakra inside Naruto surged, drawing out more of the Nine-Tails' power, and a third tail emerged.

But it didn't matter. Even with three tails, Naruto was still being pummeled. Soon, a fourth tail appeared, representing the peak of the power he could currently control from the Nine-Tails.

Boom!

As Naruto was sent flying once again, he managed to manipulate the Nine-Tails' chakra to form a massive arm, as large as a truck, which he hurled at Akira with all his might.

Bam!

Akira raised his fist, meeting the giant chakra-formed arm head-on. Despite the vast difference in size, Akira didn't budge an inch, stopping the colossal attack dead in its tracks. It was as if a normal human had halted an oncoming truck with just their hand.

But Akira wasn't done. After blocking the attack, he disappeared in a blur, reappearing right in front of Naruto, and unleashed another punch.

Naruto desperately used the Nine-Tails' chakra to form a shield, trying to defend himself, but Akira's punch shattered the shield like glass. It was as if he was tearing apart a cloak, stripping away the Tailed Beast's chakra that had enveloped Naruto.

The force of the punch landed squarely on Naruto's chest, sending him tumbling across the ground. When he finally came to a stop, he struggled for a long moment, but couldn't get back on his feet.

"Tsunade, I think Akira's strength might be even greater than your superhuman strength!" Jiraiya commented as he observed the sheer power Akira had displayed.

"Jiraiya, why does your Sage Mode take so long to prepare, when Akira can do it so quickly?" Tsunade retorted, casting a sharp glance at him.

Jiraiya was left speechless.

There was nothing he could say to that. How could he explain it? That Akira's Sage Mode was just more refined, more advanced than his own?

"The fight's over. Looks like I'm going to win a little something here!" Orochimaru said, ignoring his bickering companions and smiling at his impending victory.

"Hahaha!" Tsunade burst out laughing, unable to contain her joy. She had actually won a bet? That was an outcome she had almost never experienced, and she couldn't be happier!

"Cough, cough… I haven't lost yet!" Naruto interrupted, clutching his chest as he forced himself to stand.

This was just a sparring match, but Naruto had no intention of conceding so easily.

"I've still got one last move!" Naruto announced, determination burning in his eyes. "I've been secretly practicing this technique even longer than the Rasengan!"

"Akira, let's settle this with one final attack!"

With those words, Naruto formed a hand seal, and with a loud bang, a cloud of smoke erupted around him…
