Hey everyone, ShisuiUU here with another update! I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter. I know fight scenes can be tricky, but I did my best to bring the action to life. If you have any feedback—positive or constructive—I'd love to hear it. Your reviews really help me improve!

As always, a quick disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and I have my opinions about Boruto as a continuation.

Let's keep the story rolling! Thanks for your support, and I can't wait to share more with you soon!

The match between Naruto and Sasuke vs. Kakashi, Guy, and Jiraiya will now begin! Hayate declared, leaping back to safety, a mixture of excitement and apprehension swirling in the air.

Naruto, brimming with enthusiasm, yelled as he launched forward. Sasuke, on the other hand, remained poised, strategically assessing the battlefield.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road!" Naruto shouted, charging straight toward Kakashi, the strongest of the three.

"Kakashi, Guy!" Jiraiya called out as he swiftly jumped back to create distance. Kakashi and Guy exchanged determined glances, nodding in silent agreement.

Kakashi began weaving hand signs with incredible speed. "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!" he yelled, slamming his hands into the ground. A towering mud wall erupted, blocking Naruto's path.

Undeterred, Naruto sprinted toward the wall, ready to break through. Just as he was about to collide with it, Guy shouted, "Dynamic Entry!" He burst through the wall, delivering a powerful kick aimed at Naruto. To everyone's astonishment, Naruto didn't budge an inch.

"What? That's impossible! He's just 12, and he took Guy's attack like it was nothing!" a ninja in the stands gasped, disbelief etched on his face.

"Impossible!" the Third Hokage muttered, a flashback to their training flickering in his mind.

"We've been training hard to be the strongest. We could take you out without even going 50%, old man," Naruto boasted, a confident grin spreading across his face.

"Is what Naruto said true? Is he really that strong for a 12-year-old?" the Hokage pondered, watching intently.

Guy stepped back, a proud smile forming. "Wow, my youthful friend! To withstand my attack, you must have trained rigorously!"

"Your attack was pretty strong, but it only hurt a little since I'm only going 10%," Naruto replied, his smile unwavering as he leaped into the air, defying gravity. Guy looked up, apprehension settling in.

"There's no way he's only going 10%! That's insane! My attack had 75% of my own power!" Guy exclaimed, a newfound worry creeping into his voice. "I might have to go into the Fifth Gate just to stand a chance…"

Before he could finish, Naruto interrupted, "Hey, did you forget there are two of us?" Everyone turned to Sasuke, who had just finished chanting something under his breath.

"Galick Gun!" Sasuke shouted, unleashing a purple beam aimed directly at Guy. At the same time, Naruto began his own incantation.

"Kaaaaa Meeeeeee Haaaaaaa Meeeeee!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing throughout the arena. The spectators held their breath as they focused on Sasuke's beam hurtling toward Guy.

"Guy, move now!" Kakashi shouted, urgency in his tone. Realizing the imminent danger, Guy leaped aside just in time.

"Haaaaaaaa!" Naruto yelled as he fired his bluish-white beam toward the now vulnerable Guy.

"Damn it, he won't be able to evade!" Jiraiya exclaimed, forming a blue orb in his hand as he sprinted toward Sasuke.

The blast collided with Guy, enveloping him in a brilliant explosion. Silence fell over the arena as everyone awaited the outcome. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the smoke.

"Rasengan!" Jiraiya shouted, hitting Sasuke in the back with his attack. Smoke billowed around them, obscuring the battlefield. As the haze cleared, Sasuke was revealed, a hole burned into the back of his shirt, his expression one of annoyance.

"This was the only shirt ever made, and you ruined it," an irritated Sasuke grumbled, just as Guy barreled back into the fray.

"Dynamic Entry!" Guy shouted, now in his Fifth Gate form, surrounded by blue energy. He vanished and reappeared behind Sasuke, delivering a powerful kick that sent him soaring into the air.

Sasuke quickly recovered and flipped to regain his footing. "Morning Peacock!" Guy exclaimed, unleashing a flurry of punches aimed at Sasuke.

"Damn it, Sasuke! Are you just going to let him hit you?" Naruto yelled, frustration creeping into his voice. In a flash, Sasuke grabbed Guy's wrist, countering with a swift punch to the gut.

With a graceful flip, Sasuke kicked Guy with the heel of his foot, sending him crashing into the ground, expelling him from the Fifth Gate form. Guy lay there, unconscious.

"I'm going to have to forfeit. I've seen you two knock out both Guy and Jiraiya. I know I stand no chance," Kakashi admitted, a mix of respect and resignation in his tone as he watched Naruto and Sasuke lower their fighting stances.

As they walked toward the proctor, the Third Hokage descended to speak with the two formidable fighters. "Wow, Naruto and Sasuke, you've proven yourselves to be exceptional fighters. However, to officially become ninjas, you must graduate with the other kids your age," he stated, a knowing look in his eyes.

Shocked expressions crossed Naruto and Sasuke's faces.

"Old man, you can't be serious! We just took out two of your strongest ninjas and made one quit. Why do we have to be with people below us?" Naruto exclaimed, outrage bubbling within him.

Hiruzen anticipated this reaction and remained calm. "I'd love to elevate you two to the rank you deserve, but I want you to experience being young, not always killers."

"I see where you're coming from, Lord Third. I apologize for Naruto-baka's outburst," Sasuke interjected, ever the voice of reason. "Is there anything else you need us to do? If not, we'll take our leave." Before the Hokage could respond, Naruto and Sasuke vanished in an instant.

"I have a feeling those kids are going to be the death of me," Hiruzen sighed, turning to Kakashi. "Take Guy to the hospital. I'll handle Jiraiya. I have a lot to discuss with him regarding those two, especially Naruto."

Far away from Konoha...

"Kaio-ken!" a figure shouted as he flew toward another, their silhouettes clashing in the sky. Punches were thrown, blocks countered, and blasts launched in a dazzling display of power.

"Kaaaaaa Meeeeeeee Haaaaaaa Meeeeeeee!" one fighter began to chant, summoning energy.

"Big Bang Attack!" the other countered, launching a massive sphere of Ki toward his opponent.

"Haaaaaaaa!" the first fighter roared, unleashing a wave of Ki that collided with the incoming attack, creating a blinding explosion that lit up the sky. The two warriors charged at each other, locked in an intense struggle.

"Damn it, Kakarot! We've been at this for hours!" the fighter grunted, throwing a punch. The other ducked and countered.

"I know, Vegeta! Shall we take a break?" Goku suggested, both fighters pausing to catch their breath.

"We should wrap this up. It's almost time to check on our two brats," Vegeta said, their fight coming to an end.

"You're right, Vegeta. I can't wait to see our two prized pupils," Goku replied, glancing back toward Konoha. "Do you think they're ready to face Broly? I believe he'll come back stronger than ever."

"Don't worry. They have three years to prepare for that monster. They'll be ready," Vegeta said with a smirk. "Remember, I personally trained Sasuke; he's way stronger than Naruto."

"Come on, Vegeta. Both boys are strong. It doesn't always have to be about who's better. They should focus on the threats ahead," Goku replied, keeping his tone light-hearted.

"Whatever. Let's just go already. You're wasting my time. I can't believe I decided to come back to work with you," Vegeta grumbled, turning to walk toward Konoha, Goku following closely behind.

"Hey, Vegeta," Goku called out.

"What?" Vegeta snapped, irritation creeping into his voice.

"Are we there yet?" Goku asked innocently.

"We literally just started walking! What do you mean, are we there yet?!" Vegeta shot back, exasperated. "Don't say anything else, or I'll hit you with a Final Flash so big you won't be able to counter it!"

As Vegeta resumed his pace, Goku followed, their banter fading into the distance as they began their journey to Konoha.

In Konoha...

Naruto and Sasuke strolled through the vibrant streets of the village, Naruto leading the way with infectious enthusiasm. "Follow me, Sasuke! We're almost there! This place was my second home, and I came here all the time," he said, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia.

"Hold on, Naruto! I'm right behind you! Where are you taking me, anyway?" Sasuke asked, irritation threading his voice.

"It's a ramen shop I love! You'll adore it, trust me!" Naruto insisted, his excitement palpable as they approached the familiar restaurant.

As they entered, the warm scent of broth filled the air, and Naruto called out, "Hey old man! Five bowls of miso ramen, please!"

"Old man? Only one person has ever called me that… Naruto? Is that you, my boy?" Teuchi, the shop owner, exclaimed, his face lighting up with recognition. "Five miso ramen coming right up! And since you've been gone for a while, it's on the house!"

Naruto's eyes sparkled with joy. "Thanks, old man! Oh, and this here is my friend Sasuke. He'll take five bowls as well!"

"Alright, Naruto! While you wait, tell me—where have you been all this time? I really want to know!" Teuchi asked, preparing their meals.

As the two friends settled down to eat, Naruto eagerly recounted tales of their adventures and training over the years, his animated storytelling capturing Sasuke's interest. The ramen shop buzzed with life, laughter, and the smell of delicious food, a perfect setting for two friends reunited.
