Chapter 104
"Wait!"
Realizing the problem, Naruto suddenly had an epiphany.
He secretly resolved to properly help Sakyo improve her strength. That way, Sakyo wouldn't be tempted by Orochimaru and go running to him.
Mm~ Naruto really was a little genius!
The moment this thought arose, the system notification sounded.
"Ding~ Mission issued: Please help Uchiha Sakyo raise her overall rating to 1500.
Mission reward: Water-Style Chakra Activation, Water-Style Chakra Mastery."
Naruto asked the system in his mind: "Is this the beginner graduation mission and reward?"
"Ding~ The next mission is."
"Alright, how do I find out Little Sakyo's overall rating?"
"Ding~ The host can inquire through the system. Current Uchiha Sakyo overall rating: 1355."
"Holy crap? That high?"
"Ding~ Uchiha Sakyo's situation is similar to the host's. She can unleash extremely strong combat power, but due to lack of combat experience, she cannot raise her overall rating."
"I see…"
…
"Are you stupid?"
Sakyo saw Naruto frozen for a long while and asked uneasily: "You suddenly went all blank just now… what happened?"
Naruto coughed awkwardly: "Ahem~ Nothing. Let's talk about how to stand on water."
"Mm!" At the mention of this, Sakyo threw all other thoughts aside and listened seriously to Naruto.
Seeing Sakyo being so obedient, Naruto couldn't help nodding. With this, raising her to 1500 rating would be a piece of cake!
"First, chakra is something with miraculous effects."
Sakyo frowned: "Get to the point."
Naruto: "…"
"Fine—it's just gathering chakra under your feet and continuously outputting it."
"You should practice tree-climbing first. The next stage is water-walking."
As he spoke, Naruto took Sakyo's hand and led her to a large tree.
Then Naruto simply stepped onto the trunk and easily walked upward.
On the trunk, Naruto said to Sakyo: "Like this. You try."
"Mm?"
Sakyo noticed Naruto looking surprised behind her and couldn't help turning around.
In an instant, Sakyo jumped in fright.
She actually… saw someone who looked exactly like her!
The difference was—this version looked utterly exhausted, eyes filled with bloodshot veins, heavy dark circles, as if she hadn't bathed in ages—completely filthy from head to toe.
"Kill Uzumaki Naruto."
The "Uchiha Sakyo" stared blankly at Sakyo and said woodenly: "He's lying to you. Everything he's ever said to you is fake."
"The only reason he's nice to you is because he wants your body."
"Once he's tired of playing with you, he'll kick you aside and go marry Hyūga Hinata."
"Think about it—he didn't care about your feelings today and was all lovey-dovey with Hyūga Hinata."
"It's all fake… all fake!"
The scene was extremely eerie, leaving both Sakyo and Naruto momentarily unable to react.
This was Sakyo's Kamui dimension—so this "Sakyo" in front of them…
Was it a demon born from the depths of Sakyo's heart, similar to "Id"?
Sakyo looked at the monster unhappily: "What are you saying? How could Naruto possibly lie to me?"
The "Uchiha Sakyo" let out a strange laugh: "So naive. You are me, and I am you. I come from the future. Every word I've said is something I saw with my own eyes…"
"I am you. I wouldn't lie to you…"
