On the battlefield.
The Ninja Alliance had completely gained the upper hand.
Uehara Naraku mowed down these Reanimation Ninjas as though cutting grass. The Ninja Alliance watched in awe as enemies they couldn't defeat were effortlessly taken down by Uehara Naraku with a punch or a jutsu; no one could resist his power.
One of the two strong figures from The Hidden Sand Village, Scorch Release Pakura, waved her hand and summoned several peculiar fireballs, hurling them toward Uehara Naraku!
"Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!"
"Wind Release: Tornado!"
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, conjuring a gust of wind to swiftly scatter the fireballs, his figure suddenly flashing next to Pakura!
"Don't be too impetuous..."
Uehara Naraku furrowed his brows slightly, directly grasping Pakura's neck with his palm, slowly lifting her body. In the next moment, a chill emanated from his hand, freezing Pakura's body into an ice sculpture.
Trapped within the ice sculpture, Pakura desperately tried to release her Scorch Release to break free, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could only barely melt a little of the ice from within.
Uehara Naraku tossed Pakura to the ground with a wave of his hand, glancing at the Sealing Ninja behind him: "Seal her up!"
"Yes, General!"
A team of Sealing Ninjas nodded respectfully, taking out a sealing scroll to seal Pakura.
Over the past few hours, the Sealing Ninjas of the entire Ninja Alliance gradually shifted their attitude from disdain to awe and respect for Uehara Naraku.
Because they witnessed his immense strength.
Moreover, missions were incredibly easy when accompanying Uehara.
Uehara Naraku did not linger.
His silhouette was like a ghost active on the battlefield, appearing beside various Reanimation Ninjas from time to time, eliminating them in an instant.
Whether a regular Genin, Kage-level figures, or previous Jinchuriki from various villages, all were treated the same in his hands.
During this time, Jiraiya also defeated his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, personally sealing him before turning to glance at Uehara Naraku: "This guy Uehara is certainly reliable in battle!"
"Mm."
Might Guy also walked to Jiraiya's side, watching Uehara Naraku take down the Second Tsuchikage Mu and Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, directing the Sealing Team to seal these two Kage
Might Guy looked on with full admiration at this scene, also nodding seriously: "Lord Naraku Uehara is indeed trustworthy."
"As for now..."
Jiraiya quickly nodded, then scanned the battlefield, speaking softly: "The Second Tsuchikage, Second Mizukage, Third Raikage, Teacher Sarutobi, Fourth Kazekage, and Fourth Mizukage have all been sealed..."
Jiraiya's gaze finally moved slowly, looking toward a person still moving around the battlefield, his expression gradually becoming serious: "So, there's only our village's Second Hokage left?"
Among the Reanimation Kage-level ninjas, only the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama remained.
Even Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo was defeated by Hatake Kakashi using the Sharingan, sword techniques, and Lightning Blade. However, after winning this fateful battle with his father, Hatake Kakashi was exhausted...
"Was Kato Dan sealed too?"
Jiraiya's gaze shifted slowly.
Kato Dan's Spirit Transformation Jutsu was indeed strong, but unfortunately, he still couldn't achieve much and was easily taken out by Uehara Naraku's Summoning Beast, Soul Lock Warden.
Even his soul was captured by that soul-targeting Summoning Beast.
Besides the Second Hokage, who was still relying on the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, the only significant threat left was Uchiha Sasuke, a living person...
He was still locked in fierce battle with Uzumaki Naruto!
It must be said.
Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto had both become very powerful!
The battle between the two of them was extraordinarily fierce, making it impossible for even some strong ninjas to intervene.
Although from the battleground's situation, Uchiha Sasuke was still holding strong.
However, everyone present knew that Uchiha Sasuke couldn't escape because a group of people wearing Cloud Black Robes surrounded their battlefield.
They were the Akatsuki ninjas.
At least those present believed that under the Akatsuki organization's encirclement, Uchiha Sasuke certainly couldn't escape, as they were the strongest mercenary group in the entire Ninja World!
After directing the captains of various combat units to handle the battlefield's conclusion, Uehara Naraku also arrived near the battlefield of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
"Is the battle not over yet?"
Uehara Naraku walked to the side of the Akatsuki members, seeing Deidara fiercely chewing on clay, making his eyebrows twitch: "Deidara, what are you doing again?"
"I'm preparing a super surprise art for Uchiha Sasuke!"
Clay spewed from both of Deidara's palms, slowly forming into a bizarre-looking large bird, his face sour: "There are only two Uchiha left in this world, right? Killing one means one less..."
Uehara Naraku: "..."
You really have a grudge!
Back when Uchiha Itachi recruited Deidara to join the Akatsuki, he used the Sharingan to trap Deidara in a Genjutsu that nearly made him self-destruct; since then, Deidara began targeting the Uchiha.
The miniature telescope on his left eye is cool, right?
Apart from capturing images and scouting, it mainly guards against Sharingan Genjutsu.
C4·Garuda is cute, right?
Usually inconspicuous, once used, it's a super-proportion figure modeled after Deidara's appearance and size. When it explodes, it can release countless clay spiders almost at the micrometer level, capable of turning a person's body into ash from the inside out...
This jutsu is aimed at Uchiha Itachi.
Even after Uchiha Itachi died, Deidara never gave up targeting the Uchiha, as if there was no fun in his life without going after them...
Sometimes Uehara Naraku was really a bit worried about Deidara. What if Deidara dies and sees a bunch of Uchiha in the Netherworld...?
Wouldn't that drive him crazy?
Uehara Naraku slowly raised his fingers. After obtaining the news from Yakushi Kabuto that Orochimaru was about to resurrect the Ten-tails, he decided to start reaping his own rewards.
"Forget it, let me go deal with him!"
"No, let me go!"
"You just stay put right here..."
Sasori of the Red Sand grabbed Deidara's arm and said discontentedly, "You really have no regard for your life! You almost got killed just now, didn't you?"
"What's going on?"
Uehara Naraku's expression showed surprise for a second.
There shouldn't be anyone on the battlefield who could threaten Deidara, right? Moreover, although the members of the Akatsuki aren't exactly close, they would definitely rescue their comrades in danger...
So Uehara Naraku didn't pay much attention to the situation with the Akatsuki.
Didn't expect that fool Deidara almost got done in again?
After a moment of hesitation showed on Sasori's face, he said in a low voice, "He was fussing about going to blow up Uchiha Sasuke just now, and no one could stop him. As a result, he was caught by Sasuke's Susanoo, and if it weren't for Uzumaki Naruto saving him, he almost died at Sasuke's hands..."
"Then just stay here quietly."
Uehara Naraku grabbed Deidara's shoulder, shook his head, and said, "Sasuke now is even stronger than Itachi! Whether it's Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, or Dojutsu, he practically has no weaknesses..."
After saying this, Uehara Naraku added, "Of course, to me, he also doesn't have any strong points."
The confidence in that remark was palpable.
Just that Uehara Naraku has always displayed a strength with seemingly no limits, no one knows just how strong he really is.
Deidara looked at him speechlessly, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Don't underestimate that guy Sasuke, his Susanoo attacks quite quickly..."
"Don't worry."
Uehara Naraku chuckled softly and slowly walked towards the center of the battlefield, "In this world, no one knows how to handle Sasuke better than I do."
After saying this, Uehara Naraku's figure floated up and flew towards the direction of Susanoo, only to meet a massive Rasenshuriken that had been sent flying his way!
No wonder there aren't many people participating in this battle...
Even a casual jutsu here isn't something that the rest present can withstand!
Uehara Naraku instinctively sidestepped, avoiding the massive Rasenshuriken, and with a flick of his hand, he cast a fireball to completely shatter it.
"Uehara, don't come over!"
Uzumaki Naruto saw Uehara Naraku in danger and couldn't help but shout loudly, "Let me handle Sasuke!"
"Hmph..."
Uchiha Sasuke stood within the Susanoo, once again operating the longbow and giant arrow in Susanoo's hand, and sneered, "Who do you think you are?"
"I am..."
Uzumaki Naruto, controlling a massive chakra hand, generated another massive Rasenshuriken and shouted fiercely, "Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Idiot!"
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly clasped his fingers together, and his expression gradually became serious, "Then let me show you the legendary power of the Uchiha Clan...
This is a power that surpasses Uchiha Madara. Uzumaki Naruto, congratulations on being the first to witness this form and the first to die under it!"
In the next moment, the purple Susanoo suddenly transformed!
A pair of legs appeared beneath the purple Susanoo, supporting its body, instantly elevating its height!
Countless purple chakras appeared on Susanoo's body, gradually transforming this increasingly massive Susanoo into a new form, completely altering its appearance!
The sheer size is already entirely surpassing its previous state!
Beneath the purple Susanoo's feet are a pair of huge, powerful purple boots, and its size has become extraordinarily massive, with its somewhat bizarre visage now appearing even more monstrous.
Uchiha Sasuke's body was also wrapped within Susanoo's head, where he slowly covered his eyes, feeling the pain and power of Susanoo's activation.
It must be said that this form of Susanoo was still Uchiha Sasuke's first time using it.
This form of Susanoo was only the fourth form and not the true complete form, but for Sasuke, the burden was already considered significant.
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Uehara Naraku, who obstinately charged over, and said in a low voice, "Even though it feels like this eye power hasn't been fully developed yet, the fourth form of Susanoo is enough to deal with you all..."
"..."
Uehara Naraku remained silent for a while.
Uehara Naraku slowly extended his fingers, gathering a wind ball, and with a flick of his hand, he shot this wind ball into the air.
In the next moment, the clouds formed by countless jutsus in the sky were instantly blown away by the wind ball, and the sunlight began to shine down, falling on the purple Susanoo's body.
The sky cleared.
