Naruto: Uchiha Survivor Forced to Save the Shinobi World

"Sasuke? You..."

Shinji, engrossed in cramming pharmacology knowledge at the archives, looked up in surprise.

He sized up Sasuke, who was clutching a pile of ninjutsu scrolls, and realized something. Smiling, he asked: "Here to study ninjutsu?"

Sasuke dumped the scrolls haphazardly to the side, his face etched with urgency: "Your win this time was pure luck. If Yakumo challenges you again, you won't stand a chance!"

Shinji shrugged: "So what?"

"You can't lose!"

Sasuke roared.

Cough, cough.

A cough echoed from nearby.

Clearly, loud outbursts weren't tolerated in the archive's reading area—no exceptions, no matter who you were.

Sasuke shot a cold glance toward the clerk, then reined in his emotions, lowering his voice: "You represent the Uchiha now—I won't let you lose to Yakumo!"
