Side Story: After the Eight Gates Sasuke Traveled to Shippuden 16
A sinister wind blew past.
Sasuke Uchiha looked at the scarlet Sharingan, his brow furrowed tightly. "Should I remind you? For a genjutsu to affect me, it needs to be at least Limited Tsukuyomi level. A three-tomoe Sharingan…"
As he reached the end of his sentence, he couldn't help but let out a low laugh. "Ahahaha… a three-tomoe Sharingan wants to cast a genjutsu on me!"
The rogue Sasuke: "…"
The genjutsu had failed, and he had been mocked for it. It was a little embarrassing. He wasn't a "qualified ninja" who could just endure this.
The rogue's eyes narrowed. The ninja sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed and he slashed upward. "You actually dare to look down on the power of the Sharingan…"
"Ha, are you still proud of the power of that declining Sharingan?"
Sasuke Uchiha returned his laugh, kicked the sharp blade out of his hand, and casually punched him in the stomach!
He watched as the rogue ninja bent over, his face full of pain, and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Hey, traitor, do you need me to remind you? If you haven't awakened the Mangekyo, you're not qualified to even mention the Sharingan Kekkei Genkai in front of others…"
"You bastard!"
"According to my deduction… your dream is to kill your own brother, right?" Sasuke Uchiha rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and then continued with a smile, "It's good to have dreams. Even if they don't come true, they don't take up much space…"
In his childhood, he had wanted to surpass his brother. In his youth, he had wanted to defeat that woman Karin. As for now, he wanted to defeat that crow. None of these dreams were easy to realize.
His dreams were much crueler than this rogue's…
The rogue Sasuke gritted his teeth. A flash of lightning suddenly erupted in his hand as he attacked his head. "Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
"Tsk, still playing with this kind of low-level ninjutsu…"
Sasuke Uchiha tilted his head to dodge the attack, letting the sparks of lightning flash by his ear, and sighed in a low voice, "Why are you learning Teacher Kakashi's ninjutsu? Don't you know that his most precious asset… is actually his rich combat experience!"
His knee suddenly shot up, striking the rogue's chest!
The rogue Sasuke spat out several mouthfuls of blood and fell backward onto the ground in a sorry state!
A figure appeared before him like a ghost. Sasuke Uchiha patted his face and said indifferently, "Hey, you're not dead, are you?"
"Cough, cough…"
This sentence made him so angry he coughed up more blood.
Behind him, Naruto Uzumaki said nervously, "…You guy, who on earth are you! Although I don't know why you look exactly like Sasuke, he is the companion I truly want to bring back!"
"Naruto, calm down!"
"Naruto, calm down. Let's find out the facts first!"
"If this goes on, Sasuke will be in mortal danger!"
Naruto Uzumaki took several firm steps forward. He couldn't stand the battle between the two Sasukes in front of him, and he especially couldn't stand seeing his old companion being completely powerless in someone else's hands!
Crimson Nine-Tails chakra gradually appeared on his body. A tail made of condensed chakra swayed behind him, and a second tail was slowly forming!
Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Let Sasuke go first!"
The one he was referring to was, naturally, the rogue ninja.
Along this journey, although the other Sasuke's strength was extremely astonishing and he was very friendly to him, it gave him a sense of unreality…
"Don't be like that! I haven't done anything excessive to him…"
Sasuke patted his own neck, shook his head, and his eyes fixed on Naruto's faintly reddening eyes. "Hey, Kurama, you'd better behave… You're a fox that's lived for a thousand years. You should learn to control your chakra!"
"That bastard!"
The Nine-Tails within the sealing space cursed under its breath and did its best to retract its leaking chakra. It had personally witnessed this Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan.
That guy's chakra was also very similar to those two, Madara and Indra! A true bastard!
When he couldn't beat others, he would use his Sharingan to control it to help! Did he not think about it? An enemy that even they couldn't beat—what was the use of calling on it?
What was even stranger was, why did Sasuke know its name!
This should be a secret among the Tailed Beasts!
Among those present, only Jiraiya, who knew a part of the truth, was terrified. He watched as the red chakra on Naruto slowly disappeared, his expression growing more and more tense. "To intimidate the Nine-Tails with a single sentence… who on earth is this!"
And the reason he had dared to proactively take on the task of monitoring Sasuke was not only because of his confidence in his own Sage Mode, but also partly because of the Nine-Tails within Naruto!
Naruto would unconsciously release the Nine-Tails' power. Even in the four-tailed rampage state, he had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth…
But now, facing the Sasuke before him, the Nine-Tails had actually hidden itself away!
"You…"
Naruto clenched his fists, but then he thought of how this strange Sasuke had taken care of him along the way. He swallowed the disrespectful words and just kept asking, "Why are you impersonating Sasuke!"
"Hm? Naruto, don't you think this piece of trash is the fake one?"
Sasuke Uchiha held out his hands as if to present something, looking completely innocent. "Awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at sixteen, and went to Orochimaru for a tiny bit of power…"
"Taijutsu? In my opinion, it's not even as good as that guy Neji's…"
"Genjutsu? It seems it can't compare to Yakumo Kurama…"
"Ninjutsu? Although I'm not very proficient in ninjutsu, it's passable. But I can see that this guy's jutsu are really not worth mentioning…"
"If I'm being honest, if this kind of trash were born in our family…"
Sasuke revealed a look that could make one fall into a nightmare. "It's hard to say, but he'd probably be beaten to death by Dad!"
"Hey, you traitor, why can you only passively accept reality step by step? Because your power is too weak, your will is too cowardly… At the age of three, I accepted a triple training schedule. At the age of six, I began to train in the Eight Gates!"
Sasuke took a step forward, bent down, and patted the rogue's cheek. "And you? Besides having the same name and face as me, tell me, what else do you have that can compare to me?"
"…Bastard!"
A sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in the rogue Sasuke's heart. It reminded him of the night of the massacre, when he couldn't escape Itachi's pursuit, and was completely powerless against his attacks…
He had clearly worked hard enough by Orochimaru's side. He even had the confidence to defeat Orochimaru now, and then go and kill his brother to avenge his clan!
Yet now, no matter what attack he used, in front of this man who looked exactly like him, he couldn't even harm him in the slightest… unless he used the power of the curse mark!
A sinister energy covered the rogue Sasuke's body…
A pair of giant, claw-like wings grew from his back…
Just as he was about to attack, Sasuke Uchiha wagged a finger and said with contempt, "A reminder: don't use a defective product like the curse mark in front of me…"
"I have fought with the Sage Modes of every sage region in the ninja world! I have had a life-or-death battle with a Great Sage of the ninja world!"
"For example, a crude method of using natural energy like the curse mark is absolutely not tolerated in our Uchiha clan…"
As he said the last sentence, he slowly grabbed the curse mark wing and said in a low voice, "This thing that defiles chakra doesn't deserve to exist in the ninja world… Sealing Technique Absorption!"
