Naruto: I Am Uchiha Sasuke!?

Sasuke walked forward with his hands in his pockets, unfazed by the murmurs around him.

"Sasuke, begin—"

Before Iruka could finish, a puff of white smoke appeared, and a wooden log dropped onto the ground with a thud.

"Whoa! That was fast!"

"Did anyone even see him form the seals?"

"The Uchiha kid really has some skill."

Gasps filled the training hall. Even the clan heads in attendance showed slight surprise. Sasuke's Body Replacement Technique was undeniably the fastest so far—so fast that even experienced eyes struggled to follow.

"Sasuke, perfect score on Body Replacement Technique!" Iruka announced.

Before the applause died down, another explosion of smoke filled the stage.

Bang!

In an instant, the platform was surrounded by dozens of identical Sasukes.

"What the—?!"

"Did he not dispel the Body Replacement before using Clone Technique?"

"And he summoned so many at once?!"

The audience was in an uproar. Even the instructors were stunned.

Mizuki, standing beside Iruka, let out a nervous chuckle. "Iruka, your students are really something. You've done a great job training them."

Iruka blinked in confusion. "I... I never taught him that."

Before anyone could recover, the clones let out another puff of smoke, seamlessly transforming into the teachers on stage.

"Wait, what?! The clones can use Transformation Technique too?"

"That's insane!"

"Since when was the Three Body Technique this complex?!"

The clan leaders exchanged glances, their usual composure shaken. Sasuke had taken the most fundamental ninja techniques and turned them into something entirely new. His mastery was beyond what anyone expected.

Sasuke smirked slightly at their reactions. This was the Combination Ninjutsu—Clone Transformation Technique—executed flawlessly and without hand seals. Something no one else could replicate.

Bang!

Releasing the jutsu, Sasuke shoved his hands back into his pockets and walked away coolly, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement.

"Sasuke, you're amazing!"

"Sasuke-kun, that was incredible!"

"Sasuke, let me marry you!"

The girls screamed in excitement, nearly swooning over him.

Meanwhile, Naruto stood frozen, fists clenched. "Since when did Sasuke get this strong...?"

Next was the shuriken test.

"Hmph, I may not be the best at ninjutsu, but shuriken throwing is my specialty!" a student muttered, eyes burning with determination.

Iruka gestured to the training field. "Each student will have ten shuriken. One point for hitting the wooden stake, two points for hitting the bullseye. Let's begin!"

The first group stepped up.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Shuriken flew through the air, followed by the dull sound of metal striking wood. Most students hit the stakes, but only a few managed to land on the bullseye.

"Shikamaru, you were so close!"

"Tch, what a drag," Shikamaru muttered, rubbing his head.

Then came the second group—Naruto and Sasuke included.

"Sasuke-kun, good luck!" the girls cheered.

Naruto glanced at Sakura. "Hey, Sakura-chan, can you cheer for me too?"

"Move! You're blocking my view of Sasuke!" she snapped.

Naruto groaned. "Tch, just watch, Sasuke! This time, I'm gonna beat you!"

Sasuke didn't even look up. "Oh?"

"Ugh! So arrogant!" Naruto fumed.

"Begin!" Iruka called.

Shuriken whizzed through the air.

Naruto's face lit up. "Yes! I hit the bullseye!"

Sasuke glanced at him with a smirk. "That's my target, idiot."

Naruto blinked and looked again. Two shuriken were lodged in the bullseye—one of them wasn't his.

"Naruto, you missed your own target. Zero points," Iruka said flatly.

Naruto's jaw dropped. "Wha—? That was an accident!"

Meanwhile, all eyes were on Sasuke.

"No way... He hit nine bullseyes in a row!"

"Uchiha really are shuriken masters!"

"This kid's precision is insane!"

Unlike the others, Sasuke wasn't impressed. This was too easy. He had already mastered perfect shuriken control. A mere academy test was nothing.

The clan leaders murmured amongst themselves. While Sasuke's talent with shuriken was expected, his earlier Three Body Technique performance had truly set him apart.

Naruto, frustrated, gritted his teeth and threw his final shuriken with all his strength.

Clang!

The shuriken struck another, sending it flying at an alarming speed—straight toward Naruto's face!

"Not good! Get down, Naruto!" Iruka shouted.

Before Naruto could react—

Ding!

A sharp sound echoed.

With a flick of his fingers, Sasuke sent his own shuriken flying. It curved through the air and knocked Naruto's stray shuriken away.

Both projectiles spun wildly—before landing dead center on two separate bullseyes.

The training ground fell into stunned silence.

"No way... He planned that?"

"How did he control it so perfectly?"

"That was insane!"

Even the clan heads were speechless.

Sasuke remained unfazed. This much was expected. After all, he was an Uchiha.
