Naruto : Bastard Sytem

"Is that him, the survivor of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke?"

"It seems he didn't get the top rank among this year's newcomers."

"The top rank actually belongs to the boy he wants to challenge—The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, Uzumaki Naruto."

Inside the Hokage's office, a group of jonin gathered around the Third Hokage, watching the crystal ball he used with his telescope technique.

They were the jonin responsible for guiding Konoha's new generation, carefully observing the boys and girls who would become their students.

"It's really surprising that Uzumaki Naruto managed to surpass so many and match Sasuke's record," Hatake Kakashi murmured.

"So now Uchiha Sasuke wants to challenge Uzumaki Naruto to reclaim his arrogance?" Sarutobi Asuma, the Third Hokage's son, remarked. "I have high hopes for him. What do you think, Kakashi?"

Although he was speaking to Kakashi, his gaze subtly drifted toward the woman beside him.

The woman had long, wavy hair cascading elegantly down her back, like a captivating painting. She wore a red V-shaped skirt with a transparent black mesh underneath. Her figure was graceful and commanding, her makeup was delicate, and her aura was extraordinary.

She was Yuhi Kurenai, Asuma's childhood sweetheart—someone he had loved for a long time. Now, their relationship had progressed beyond mere friendship, and it was only a matter of time before they confessed their feelings.

Kakashi glanced at Asuma with a lazy look and casually said, "I'm actually more optimistic about him."

"No need to say much. We'll see who wins once the fight begins."

The Third Hokage watched the crystal ball with great interest. As the only one in the room who knew Naruto's background, he had absolute confidence in the boy's strength.

How could a child personally trained by the Fourth Hokage be weak?

But Sasuke was no ordinary child either. Just how big was the difference in their strength?

"Just keep watching. Let Iruka come to the academy later and give them enough time to decide the winner. Kakashi, you go first and be ready to intervene at any time."

"Understood!"

[Passive Selection Triggered!]

[Uchiha Sasuke does not believe that your victory over Kiba was just luck. Right now, he is filled with an unprecedented fighting spirit and challenges you. The choices you can make are…]

[Option 1: Stay friendly – Persuade Sasuke to drop his hostility and swear to be your best friend. Reward: (Book: A Thousand Ways to Seduce a Man)]

[Option 2: Stay rational – Accept the challenge and successfully defeat your opponent. Reward: (Fire Attribute Chakra)]

[Option 3: Act recklessly – This handsome guy is too handsome! Accept his challenge, and after winning, pin him to the ground and rub him as hard as you can. Reward: (10% of Sasuke's Dominance Value)]

[Option 4: Be ruthless – Accept the challenge and kill him. Reward: (Three-Tomoe Sharingan)]

Naruto glanced at the four choices. The ruthless one was still ruthless, and the perverted one was still perverted. Out of curiosity, he first checked the details of the Passion Transformer reward and Sasuke's Dominance Points.

Wow, this was really interesting.

Once again, it was a multiple-choice question, and he could only pick one reward. It felt like losing a hundred million ryo.

"Hey, hey, Uchiha Sasuke, don't go overboard."

"What? Did I say something wrong? You're just not strong enough."

"You're really annoying!"

First ignored by Naruto, then mocked by Sasuke, Kiba's mental state was on the verge of breaking. But he knew he was no match for Sasuke.

After staring at Sasuke for a few seconds, Kiba clenched his fists and said, "Fine, I'll challenge you after you're done fighting Naruto!"

"I accept your challenge," Sasuke smirked arrogantly. As an Uchiha, confidence was everything. He was sure that even after fighting Naruto, he would still have enough strength to defeat Kiba.

"Wow, as expected of Sasuke-kun! He's so cool!"

"That smile pierces my heart!"

"Sasuke is just different!"

Sasuke's arrogance instantly sent the academy into an uproar. The girls' eyes sparkled, with Sakura being the loudest.

Just moments ago, she was supporting Naruto, but as soon as Sasuke challenged him, she immediately switched sides and cheered for Sasuke.

Ino grinned at Naruto, "Bastard, I can't beat you, but this time, Sasuke-kun definitely can! Get ready to lose!"

Naruto scoffed, "Tch, these girls are really annoying. Just wait until I defeat Sasuke."

Choji munched on his potato chips, "If I were handsome, would I get free food?"

Aburame Shino suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quietly said, "I think most of them are attracted to power. Otherwise, isn't Naruto also good-looking now? Then why isn't anyone supporting him?"

"???" Naruto glanced at Shino and slowly backed away.

"Naruto, just give up," Shikamaru advised. "Sasuke is stronger than us. There's no hope of winning."

"Why are you so sure I'm going to lose?"

Naruto smiled slightly, stood up, and looked at Sasuke. Then, in the same condescending tone, he said, "I accept your challenge."

His words stirred up another commotion among the girls, but most of them mocked him instead.

"Haha, he's really reckless! So full of himself!"

"Who does he think he is? Just because he beat Kiba, he thinks he can fight Sasuke-kun?"

"He thinks Sasuke-kun is the same as Kiba?"

Kiba: "???"

There was nothing to be done about the girls' ridiculous bias. Sasuke had been the academy's idol for years, while Naruto had always been the "demon fox brat" everyone looked down on.

But Naruto didn't care.

They were just background characters, not worth thinking about.

They arrived at the academy's training field. Naruto and Sasuke stood in the center, surrounded by Sasuke's fans.

"Go, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screamed excitedly.

"Beat him up, Sasuke!" Ino shouted enthusiastically, hoping Naruto would be crushed.

Only Hinata remained silent, watching Naruto with worry and praying he wouldn't get too badly hurt.

"Naruto, at least last long enough to tire Sasuke out," Kiba thought, already planning his next move after Naruto lost.

Even Shikamaru and Choji, who were close to Naruto, didn't believe he could win.

Choji mumbled, "Let's just help him later."

Shikamaru sighed, "There's no other choice. He's as stubborn as ever."

In front of everyone, Sasuke took a serious fighting stance.

"Let's begin," he said coldly.

Naruto shrugged casually. "Alright."

In an instant, Sasuke lunged forward, throwing a quick punch. But Naruto simply tilted his body slightly, dodging it with ease.

Sasuke didn't stop. He kept attacking, his punches and kicks growing faster, but Naruto continued to evade without effort.

"What the heck?! How is Naruto dodging?!" Sakura exclaimed, eyes wide.

"He's not even fighting back!" Ino added, equally shocked.

The crowd started murmuring in disbelief.

"No way! Sasuke-kun is the best in our class! How are all his attacks missing?!"

Kiba stared at Naruto seriously. "I never expected… this bastard to be this fast."

Sasuke grew more frustrated, increasing his speed and using feints, but Naruto dodged everything as if he could read every move before it happened.

Naruto just smirked, completely unaffected.

"Dammit! Stop dodging and fight me seriously!" Sasuke finally yelled in frustration.

Naruto let out a long sigh. "Ahh… boring."

Everyone stared at him in shock. Even after all of Sasuke's attacks, he still looked completely unfazed, as if this fight was meaningless.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and tried to attack again, but at that moment, Naruto decided to end it.

In an instant, he focused the Nine-Tails' chakra into his legs. Wind swirled around him, and a faint red aura appeared.

Before Sasuke could react—

Boom!

Naruto vanished and reappeared in front of him.

With a powerful kick, he struck Sasuke's stomach.

"UGH—!!"

Sasuke was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the ground.

Silence filled the training field.

Naruto stood in the center, hands in his pockets.

"Is that enough?" he asked, sounding bored.

No response.

As the dust settled, everyone held their breath.

There, Sasuke lay unconscious on the ground.
