"Alright, since Sasuke wants another round. Naruto, dig yourself out," Haru said with a smile, retreating over thirty meters away and adopting his taijutsu stance.

  Naruto and Sasuke both had their own original taijutsu moves, while Haru, with the Third Hokage's help, had created his own taijutsu style!

  He named it "Tenryū Style" (Heavenly Flow Style)!

  His arms hung naturally at his sides, but in the next instant, his posture shifted! His left arm moved horizontally to block in front of his body, his legs naturally spread into a bow stance, while his right arm was held behind his back.

  "Haru, don't hold back on us. Use both your hands," Sasuke said. He hated being underestimated, and seeing Haru's right arm tucked away, he assumed Haru was pnning to challenge him and Naruto with just one hand.

  "Sasuke, don't misunderstand. This is my original taijutsu style. If I'm facing both of you head-on, I naturally won't underestimate you again. Rest assured, I will defeat you fair and square," Haru said with his usual confidence. Even after revealing his stance, he was still confident he could defeat them again!

  "Haru! I won't let you pull any tricks this time!" Saying this, Naruto created shadow clones and charged straight at Haru. However, this time he had a bit more sense and didn't rashly use the Naruto Whirlwind again. Maybe.

  He used it anyway.

  The same two shadow clones threw the other shadow clone and the main body into the sky, the sound of air being torn apart echoing. Then, the shadow clone in the air rotated 720 degrees before using the momentum to hurl the main body towards Haru!

  This time the speed was three times faster than before! This was Naruto's strongest attack at the moment!

  Haru's expression turned slightly more serious. He knew that if such an impact nded on him, even if he could dissipate some of the force, he would still suffer serious injuries or even lose consciousness. And at this moment, he moved.

  Wind Release: Violent Air Palm!

  Facing such a direct attack, he naturally couldn't take it head-on. Haru's pn was to use the least amount of chakra to reduce the damage and control Naruto. This would greatly increase his chances of winning. After all, 1 + 1 > 2.

  A small but concentrated gust of wind accurately struck Naruto's projectile, instantly reducing his speed by half. Seeing that this method worked, Haru prepared to unleash another Violent Air Palm to completely eliminate Naruto's threat.

  However, Sasuke wouldn't let Haru complete his hand seals so easily.

  Shadow Clone Technique! Immediately following, he charged towards Haru at high speed. Facing Haru, who had no shadow clones, four Sasukes simultaneously performed the Leaf Shadow Dance, blocking all of Haru's possible escape routes. However, Haru's adaptability was far superior to Sasuke's. In an instant, the seals were formed!

  Shadow Clone Technique! Haru used the Shadow Clone Technique again, and this time, it was simir to Naruto's usage!

  Two shadow clones formed hand seals on the ground, while the main body and another clone jumped into the air.

  Wind Release: Violent Air Palm! This was the acceleration Haru had mentioned! After the Wind Release, the two shadow clones were directly dealt with by Sasuke.

  With the boost from the Wind Release, Haru erupted with speed five times that of Naruto's Whirlwind, directly colliding with Naruto. But in the air, Naruto had no way to change direction to avoid the impact and could only perform the Shadow Clone Technique again, kicking himself towards the ground.

  However, in the air, Haru still had a shadow clone beside him.

  Wind Release: Violent Air Palm!

  In the blink of an eye, Haru changed direction again, swiftly catching up to the just-turned Naruto.

  Looking up at the sky, Naruto could only sigh. Facing the descending Haru, he was helpless, resignedly opening his limbs and closing his eyes.

  Until he was about to nd, Naruto didn't feel the pain of being struck. So he opened his eyes to look, but found no one in the air before him, as if he had just seen an illusion. Then, he nded on the ground.

  Earth Release: Underground Headhunter Technique!

  Once again, the same ninjutsu was used on Naruto, with the same effect and the same target.

  Just like that, simple and brutal, one opponent was dealt with without injury.

  Next was the one-on-one duel between the two children who possessed both strength and intelligence.

  "Hey, can you let me out? I won't bother you, okay? Haru! Help!"

  "Dumbass."

  "..."

  After a pointless exchange, the duel began.

  Haru adopted his starting stance again, his eyes fixed on Sasuke's hips. If a person is going to move, their hips move first. Haru had grasped this point and prepared to counter Sasuke's original taijutsu.

  Shadow Clone Technique!

  A familiar tactic. Sasuke first sent out a shadow clone to probe, unleashing a flurry of Leaf Style taijutsu towards Haru's… side?

  That's right! Just his side!

  Haru moved with strange footwork, calmly watching the approaching shadow clone's fist, dodging each strike, while maintaining his starting stance, ready to seize an opening and unch a counterattack. Leaf Style taijutsu wasn't continuous, and each pause was a good opportunity to attack and disrupt the rhythm!

  The time was right! Tenryū Style - First Form! Needle Threading!

  Haru swiftly unleashed a rapid series of punches, accurately striking the shadow clone's unprotected areas.

  Waist! Hip! Elbow! Groin!

  Back of the neck!

  Shoulder socket!

  Knee! Ankle!

  Because it was a shadow clone, he delivered each punch with unreserved force. However, his right hand remained unused.

  "Haru, why aren't you using your right hand? I told you not to hold back," Sasuke couldn't stand the situation. How could he allow himself to be defeated by someone using only one hand?

  "Alright, alright, just fight properly. The time isn't right yet," Haru said leisurely while throwing punches.

  Just a moment before the shadow clone was sent flying, the ground beside Haru's feet moved.

  Leaf Shadow Dance!

  Two shadow clones simultaneously burst from the ground, performing the Leaf Shadow Dance, aiming to interrupt Haru's attack and regain control of the situation.

  However, Haru smiled, and at the same time, his right hand moved.

  Tenryū Style - First Form - Finishing Move! Side Whip!

  His right hand quickly drew from behind his back, sweeping horizontally towards the two shadow clones, directly forcing back the Leaf Shadow Dance they were performing. His legs pressed hard into the ground, cracks slowly spreading, then he gathered strength again! Both shins dug into the earth. Then, the power erupting from his entire body concentrated in his right arm, sweeping out once more! The two shadow clones dissipated instantly!

  This was perhaps the limit of a five-year-old child, to develop their physical abilities so remarkably, perfectly unleashing the body's potential!

  Now Sasuke finally understood. Haru hadn't been holding back; he himself had been too weak before to draw out such a deadly move.

  However, how could he give up the attack because of such a strike!

  Shadow Clone Technique!

  This time, the main body also joined the fray, closely following the three shadow clones, constantly changing positions. With Haru's finishing move revealed, there was naturally no reason for him to stand still and passively take hits. He also sped towards Sasuke.

  Even for Haru, he had only developed the first form of his style. After all, without practical combat experience, it was impossible to develop effective attack patterns.

  Their fists and feet cshed, and before long, they were entangled, evenly matched for the moment.

  However, this time, Sasuke's punching stance had changed. This wasn't Leaf Style anymore!

  The genuine Uchiha Style!

  Indeed, as expected of an Uchiha. At just five years old, he had practiced the entire Uchiha Style taijutsu, using all the joints in his body to unch a swift and relentless offensive. Such a continuous attack, if it weren't for the ck of Sharingan support right now, if the accuracy were further improved, Haru might have been defeated today!

  But in the end, ninjutsu was currently Haru's forte.

  After a sweeping leg kick interrupted Sasuke's attack, Haru decisively retreated, leaping back to create a distance of dozens of meters again. And this distance was enough for Haru to focus on forming hand seals.

  Five hand seals were formed in a single second. Just as Sasuke had covered half the distance, the ninjutsu was activated!

  "Crap," Sasuke cursed inwardly, rolling to take cover behind a rock.

  It was Fire Release.

  Fire-natured chakra erupted!

  Fire Release: Great Fire Annihition!

  "Haru, when did you master a C-rank ninjutsu?" Sasuke immediately saw through it. Such a powerful Fire Release couldn't be matched by a D-rank ninjutsu with increased chakra. And as an Uchiha, he could naturally recognize various Fire Release techniques.

  "You noticed, huh? Fire Release was the first D-rank ninjutsu I advanced to C-rank. After all, the D-rank with a rge range was too weak, so I asked the Third Hokage for this one. How does it feel?" Haru stood in pce, looking at the circle of scorched earth before him, excitedly asking Sasuke.

  Naturally, showing off was also a characteristic of children.

  However, even after witnessing such power, Sasuke didn't think about giving up. He jumped out from behind the rock, his hands clearly forming seals!

  Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!

  Another C-rank ninjutsu! Two small, freely controlled fireballs appeared in front of Sasuke, then flew towards Haru, who was standing in the center of the fiery circle.

  "Huh, you know jutsu too?" Haru asked, his eyes fixed on the incoming fireballs.

  "Of course! How could I possibly fall behind you!" Sasuke roared, maniputing the fireballs to fly and weave closer to Haru. He thought that Haru must have exhausted his chakra by now and wouldn't be able to defend effectively.

  However, the next scene shattered his confidence.

  Earth Release: Rock Pilr Prison!

  It was that move again, the ninjutsu used to restrain Sasuke earlier, now surrounding Haru's body as a defense, blocking the incoming fireballs. This jutsu only required one hand seal, almost instantaneous, shocking Sasuke at Haru's strategy. Such a complete countermeasure, the technique of controlling the rhythm throughout the entire fight, was simply beyond Sasuke's current reach.

  While he was still in shock, he found himself entangled and paralyzed by a faint electric current.

  Shadow Clone Technique! Water Release: Water Whip! Lightning Release: Earth Flow!

  While the main body was still within the Rock Pilr Prison's defense, two shadow clones had already approached Sasuke and used a combination ninjutsu to restrain him.

  "You're so strong…" Sasuke said, panting heavily, kneeling on the ground, forcing one eye open, speaking softly to Haru. Sasuke was already exhausted. The Fire Release earlier was his trump card, used after using up all his chakra. Clearly, he had misjudged his opponent's strength.

  Having been born for five years, even to his own older brother, Sasuke had never openly said such words. Haru was the first person he genuinely praised.

  Perhaps Haru would really become stronger than Uchiha Itachi.

  And this match ended with Haru's easy victory.

  Easy? Perhaps only Haru himself knew the truth.

  "Hey, are you done fighting? Hurry up and let me out! I'm suffocating!"

  ...
