Getting into Sasuke's heart is actually quite simple, just beat him up and prove that you're stronger than him.
With the pride of the Uchiha clan, even if he refuses to accept it outwardly, he will acknowledge the other person in his heart.
Just now, "Naruko" won against him through trickery, but the other party did use their own advantages, and he did indeed lose. So, in his heart, he had already started to acknowledge the other party a little.
But then, he found out that the other party was actually Naruto in disguise.
He had finally been moved for the first time.
And he had lost so completely.
It was his first time caring about a girl, his first time acknowledging a girl.
He had recognized the other party as worthy of being his opponent. But…
These two joys overlapped, and this double joy should have brought even more and more happiness. He should have already obtained a dreamlike moment of bliss.
Sasuke's mind was still flashing with the dashing figure of Naruko just now.
But in the blink of an eye, that face turned into Naruto's appearance.
'Is this…'
'Hell?'
"Sasuke, why are your eyes so red?"
"Don't cry, okay? I lost, isn't that enough? You won! You won!"
Seeing Sasuke staring at him silently, his eyes turning completely red, Naruto thought the other was about to cry from frustration over losing to him.
He quickly tried to comfort him, deciding to just admit defeat this time. It wasn't a big deal anyway. There would be plenty more chances to challenge Sasuke in the future.
Since he won this time, he'd surely win again in the future.
However, to Sasuke, Naruto's words only added fuel to the fire.
"Are you looking down on me? Do I need you to go easy on me?", Sasuke's aura suddenly surged, forcing Naruto to take several steps back.
The long hair behind him was lifted by the breeze, and he instinctively made a motion to brush it back.
Sasuke's body trembled slightly, and the anger in his eyes became uncontrollable.
"Sa…Sasuke, your eyes are really red right now. Do you want Aoba to take a look at them?", Brushing the hair that covered his vision behind his head, Naruto couldn't help but feel a bit scared seeing Sasuke looking at him like he wanted to devour him.
"Sasuke, there's something in your eyes… It looks like a little tadpole?"
Step by step, Sasuke approached Naruto like a machine, and Naruto took steps backward in response.
"Sasuke, I…"
"Naruto!"
Sasuke had already pulled out a wooden kunai.
"I'm going to kill you!"
With that, Sasuke roared and charged forward.
What he was feeling now wasn't just pain, but overwhelming shame and embarrassment.
'I actually… actually… felt that way about a guy…'
This shame made him not want to stay in this village anymore. He wanted to escape to the moon overnight.
Naruto turned and ran. He didn't know why, but Sasuke really seemed crazy right now.
If they fought now, someone was going to die.
"AOBA! HELP ME!", Naruto ran while shouting for help.
However, Aoba wasn't in a hurry to step in. He thought it was better to let Sasuke vent a little.
After all, what Naruto did really wasn't decent. Crossdressing to seduce your best friend? One day, he might lose his purity because of it.
Right now, Aoba just needed to make sure Naruto didn't get seriously hurt.
Aoba originally thought that after discovering the truth, Sasuke would just get angry and beat Naruto up. He didn't expect that the shock would be enough to awaken his Sharingan.
'Looking at it this way, Sasuke should actually thank Naruto.'
'At least in terms of unlocking his Sharingan, he has surpassed Uchiha Itachi.'
Since Aoba didn't move, the other three girls also followed his lead and simply watched the show.
Too bad they didn't bring any snacks.
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Sharingan, right?", In the shadows, a few Anbu members tasked with protecting the Jinchuriki were whispering.
"That's right, but it's just a one-tomoe Sharingan for now."
"But this talent is already stronger than Uchiha Itachi, right? He awakened his bloodline limit before even entering the academy. It's just that the method of awakening seems a little…"
"Ahem! Now's not the time to discuss this. We need to be ready to intervene at any moment. After all, this is an Uchiha who has awakened the Sharingan…"
Before the person could finish speaking, another teammate interrupted.
"Captain, I'm siding with the Uchiha this time. That Jinchuriki totally brought this on himself."
"Yeah, he deserved this. This is the first time I've actually felt bad for an Uchiha."
"I feel like that kid is going to need a lifetime to recover from today's trauma."
Seeing his three subordinates' strange thought process, the captain of the Anbu squad facepalmed.
This was the worst squad he'd ever led. But in the end, he decided to respect their opinion.
"Alright, 'Cat,' go report this to the Hokage. The rest of you, stay ready to intervene. If the Uchiha really tries to harm the Jinchuriki, we step in immediately."
"Understood!" x3
The three replied in hushed voices, and one of them silently vanished.

[One hour later]
Sasuke, exhausted from using up his chakra and stamina, lay on the ground, panting heavily.
The tomoe in his eyes were still spinning, showing that he hadn't fully calmed down yet. His body just couldn't keep going.
He had spent almost half an hour just chasing Naruto.
Even though he had roared about killing Naruto, as the most normal Uchiha, he still retained some rationality despite unlocking the Sharingan.
He had only pinned Naruto down and given him a serious beating.
And now, Naruto, black and blue all over, was receiving treatment from Aoba.
"Damn it, Aoba, you idiot!", Naruto's face was so swollen that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"This is your own fault. Who told you to mess with Sasuke's feelings?"
"I didn't!"
Aoba didn't argue with Naruto. His brain probably wouldn't even understand this situation right now.
Using medical ninjutsu, he quickly healed Naruto's swollen face.
"You're fine now. I'll go check on Sasuke."
When Aoba walked over to Sasuke, the latter was still breathing heavily and didn't say a word, only staring at him coldly.
'That killing intent…'
Looking at those red eyes, Aoba couldn't help but laugh. Itachi had only awakened a one-tomoe Sharingan at the age of eight, yet Sasuke had awakened his just from being "dumped" by Naruko.
Naruko = the entire Uchiha clan?
A tragic love story.
Thinking about it, maybe the activation of the Sharingan really did have to do with both physical and spiritual energy.
Since Sasuke had both Aoba and Naruto as training partners, he was much stronger than he had been during the original massacre, which might explain why he awakened it now.
Or maybe it was just the natural balance between Asura and Indra's chakra.
After all, in the original story, every time Naruto got stronger, Sasuke also powered up alongside him, never falling too far behind.
Since Naruto had just won, it made sense for Indra's chakra to give Sasuke a small boost as well.
"Sasuke, why are you so angry after finding out Naruko was actually Naruto?", Aoba asked, smirking mischievously.
Sasuke's face turned even redder as he gritted his teeth, "That bastard dared to humiliate me like this… to mock the Uchiha clan…"
"Or maybe… you fell in love at first sight with Naruko?"
"…"
"Shirakumo Aoba! I'm going to kill you too!"
No one knew where he found the strength, but the utterly exhausted Sasuke actually sprang up from the ground and lunged at Aoba.
Aoba simply sidestepped, and Sasuke pounced at nothing, "Alright, it was just a joke. Why are you so mad? Could it be that I hit the mark?"
"You bastard!", Sasuke felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. If he kept lunging at him, wouldn't that mean the other guy was actually right?
Caught in a dilemma—
He simply lay down on the ground and played dead like an ostrich.
