Chapter 119 The Third Generation's Dream
Sasuke lay panting on his back in the center of the training field: "He lost again!"
The fierce exchange he had just witnessed still lingered in his mind.
Despite his relentless training and mastery of many powerful techniques, including using almost all his trump cards in actual combat, he was still no match for Naruto.
Sasuke felt a surge of frustration.
They played almost perfectly, so why couldn't they win?
"Sasuke-kun!" Naruto smiled and reached out a hand to Sasuke, helping him up from the ground. "I must say, your strength is getting stronger and stronger! I almost lost to you just now."
Sasuke steadied himself, glanced warily at the confident smile on Naruto's face, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttering, "Yeah, right! You didn't even use your full strength." He looked down at the two of them and saw that his shirt was a mess, covered in dust and wrinkles, and his vest was already soaked with sweat, making him look like a complete wreck.
And what about Naruto?
Naruto's sportswear was still clean and spotless, only his breathing was slightly rapid.
Clearly, the fight just now was a fierce battle that he fought with all his might, but for Naruto it was merely a warm-up.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Realizing the stark difference in their abilities, Sasuke couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
He remained silent for a long time before finally asking, unwilling to give up, "Hey, Naruto—what's the name of that last ninjutsu, the one where you suddenly popped out of the shadows to launch a sneak attack? It was way too insidious!"
"Oh~ that?" Naruto scratched the back of his head, smiled broadly, and said rather proudly, "It's the 'Gag-Shadow Manipulation Technique' that Jiraiya taught me! Pretty impressive, right?"
At the edge of the training field, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out.
Kakashi and Sakura stood by the field, clapping and cheering, their faces beaming with satisfaction.
Kakashi watched the exciting duel between his two disciples, who were evenly matched, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful match! You two are both excellent; it seems you haven't been slacking off lately."
Sakura nodded excitedly, "Sasuke and Naruto are both amazing!"
in the audience.
Naruto was already dumbfounded.
"It's a lie, right?!" Naruto almost jumped up from his seat, his face filled with disbelief and shock.
The intensity of the duel between the two just now completely exceeded the scope of a genin.
Sasuke learned so many powerful techniques, even using Chidori, yet he was still no match for Naruto from that world?
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
"Naruto in the dream world is so cool!" Sakura looked at the screen with admiration.
Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to ruffle Naruto's messy golden hair. His tone was a mix of regret and comfort: "It's normal. Sasuke hasn't received any systematic training since he was seven, while the Naruto in the dream has always had someone to properly teach him."
There's at least a five-year gap in experience between the two.
Kakashi paused for a moment, then said, "And your talent is actually no less than Sasuke's. This kind of gap can't be bridged by Sasuke's hard training in just over ten days."
Inside the VIP box.
Uchiha Itachi stared silently at his exhausted younger brother on the screen, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Is this all Sasuke can do right now?" Itachi muttered to himself. "It seems—he still has a long way to go!"
He was well aware that his younger brother's strength was still far behind that of the blond kid in the picture.
Itachi pursed his thin lips, a complex light flashing in his eyes, lost in thought.

morning.
Konoha Village, the Hatake family.
Kakashi woke up with a start.
The rising sun shone into the room through the window. He paused for a moment, then reached out and touched his left eye.
Recalling everything he had seen in his dream, Kakashi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and his expression slowly turned serious.
"Perhaps I should give it a try—"
Kakashi muttered to himself as he rolled out of bed.
He strode to the mirror in the room, took a deep breath, and slowly removed the headband covering his left eye, revealing his Sharingan.
In fact, this was not the first time Kakashi had tried to inject chakra into the Sharingan.
He had occasionally conducted similar experiments in the past, but he always stopped when his chakra was nearly depleted.
However, this time, the inspiration he received from his dream made him decide to try again, determined to see if he could make a breakthrough this time!
Kakashi calmed his breathing and quickly formed the "Tiger" hand seal, which would increase the efficiency of chakra extraction.
Then, with complete concentration, he poured a large amount of chakra into his left eye.
As his chakra continued to be released, he felt his energy rapidly draining away, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body began to sway and weaken.
Soon, his chakra was about to run out, but his Sharingan still showed no abnormalities.
"Is it no longer possible—"
Kakashi gritted his teeth, seeing himself on the verge of his limit again. His reason told him that he should stop in time, otherwise he might faint from exhaustion of chakra.
But when he thought of the masked man in his dream, Kakashi had never been so determined to confirm his identity.
"Let me see your true colors!"
The veins on his forehead bulged, and he squeezed out the last bit of strength from his body!
Just as Kakashi was in a daze and almost couldn't stand up, he suddenly felt a burning sensation deep in his left eye socket, as if something had suddenly awakened!
Immediately afterwards, a strange power he had never experienced before emanated from his Sharingan, causing his vision to distort violently!
He felt a throbbing, stinging pain in his left eye, accompanied by a tearing sensation. He stared wide-eyed at the mirror.
The Sharingan in the mirror spun rapidly, its tomoe suddenly transforming into a strange pattern completely different from before!
"It worked!?"
Even more strangely, at that moment, he also suddenly learned the name of this power, almost as if by magic.
"Kamui!"
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The system has been upgraded again.
[The Dream Master System has been successfully upgraded!]
[Congratulations, host, you have reached level 9]
Please select one of the following enhancement effects:
[1. Dream Fulfillment Experience Ticket (Note: This can only be selected when you have the ability "Dream Intensity Increase". After use, you can select a character to experience a dream instance once. The number of characters can be selected is not limited by the number of dream fulfillment targets, but all actions will not be saved and the course of the instance cannot be changed. Ability cooldown time: 5 days.)]
[2. Audience size +2]
[3. Additional Dream Camera]
"Hmm?!" Shigure stared at the list of options floating in front of her, and couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "Dream Fulfillment Experience Ticket? This function—it's a bit like the secondary dungeon I unlocked last time."
Upon closer reflection, if the new feature is used in conjunction with the previous secondary dungeons, wouldn't that mean that in the future, whoever you want to enter a dream can enter a dream, and whatever dream you want to have?
The thought flashed through Shi Yu's mind, and her breathing became slightly rapid.
However, it seems to have some flaws: it cannot be saved, and the plot of the instance cannot be changed.
The inability to change the plot means you can only make money once, unlike the official version's dream goals and dungeons, which can be exploited repeatedly.
Thinking of this, Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, but still chose the Dream Fulfillment Experience Ticket without hesitation.
After all, with this thing, he was able to bypass the limit on the number of people who could fulfill his dream to a certain extent.
Moreover, there's absolutely no need to waste precious dream-fulfilling slots and create special dungeons for many supporting characters. A trial ticket is all it takes to let them indulge in their dreams and also harvest some emotional points. It's a very worthwhile deal!
After selecting the enhancement effect, the system notification sounded in Shi Yu's mind again, and a moment later the new system interface information was updated:
[Current Dream Fulfillment Level: 9 (812400/900000)]
[Target number of participants: 4]
Number of viewers: 4
[Dreamscape Dungeon Cap: 2]
[Current Dream Realm Instances: "The Undying Light" and "Return to 40: Starting with Saving My Father!"]
[Current Abilities: Increased Dream Intensity, Increased Dream Manipulation Ability, VIP Seat in Screening Room *1, Dream Fulfillment Experience Ticket]
Shiyu didn't hesitate much and used it directly, since the cooldown time was only five days!
Late that night, the stars above Konoha Village were dim.
In the mansion behind the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slept peacefully.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and when he opened them again, the scene before him had completely changed.
"Hmm? This is a..."
He sat up abruptly and found himself lying in a comfortable recliner.
Looking around briefly, I found myself in a lush green park, surrounded by verdant trees and warm sunshine. In the distance, I could vaguely see the figures of several children playing and laughing.
The park was quiet and peaceful, and the scenery looked very familiar.
It seems to be that small park next to the ninja academy.
The children from the ninja academy often train here outside of class.
He will appear at the right time to spread the Will of Fire to them.
"Could this be that dream world?"
Having heard Kakashi say it so many times, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't confused for long and quickly came to his senses.
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +300!]
At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly noticed that there was a similar recliner next to him.
On the recliner lay a figure he never expected!
It was an elderly man with one eye, wearing a gray kimono, who was currently holding a little boy of about three or four years old and playing with him with a kind expression.
The child giggled in his arms, and the old man smiled warmly, his eyes radiating the gentleness of an elder.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened instantly, hardly believing his own gaze: "Dan—Danzo?!"
He almost cried out in surprise, quickly rubbed his eyes, and looked again to make sure he saw that the old man holding the child with a loving smile was indeed Danzo Shimura!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned, his mind blank: "What am I seeing? Danzo—is actually playing with a child?"
And why is he smiling so kindly?
You know, this is the old partner who has fought with me all my life.
With such a deep mind and ambitious nature, when has he ever shown such a kind and warm smile?
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Hiruzen Sarutobi found it utterly unbelievable.
