Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"Squeak..."

Lightning enveloped his entire body, and although he was used to the numbness and pain, Sasuke still grimaced slightly.

"Shh!"

With a sudden thrust, Naruto's shadow clones couldn't keep up with the speed.

"Oh!"

After the first shadow clone was attacked, Naruto realized that he couldn't defeat Sasuke with just shadow clones and Rasengan.

"You were careless."

The sudden sound behind him startled Naruto. He was about to retreat when the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

"Illusion?"

"Oh!"

Naruto, who was hiding at the back, turned into smoke, while Sasuke, who was still in front and seemed to have exhausted his strength and lost his lightning, also turned into smoke.

The three remaining Narutos nearby spoke at the same time: "The one hiding at the back isn't necessarily the real one. I'm not that stupid. You really know how to take advantage of my distraction while I'm setting up shadow clones!"

Sasuke sighed, "I knew it wouldn't be that simple. From now on, I have to get serious. Naruto, use your Sage Mode!"

……

In the stands.

Guy nodded repeatedly: "Your taijutsu has improved a lot. You truly deserve to be called a genius of the Uchiha clan."

Yun replied, "His path isn't in physical skills, but mastery is still necessary. That time, Xiao Li beat him up, and it really spurred him on."

Kakashi, standing to the side, shook his head slightly: "The two of them haven't even started their real battle yet; so far, it's just a test. Although Sasuke seized an opportunity, it was rendered useless because of Naruto's caution."

……

Chapter 353: The Attack on Daming Prefecture

Outside the arena, in Naruto's room, three shadow clones were sitting quietly cross-legged.

While natural energy doesn't necessarily require this posture, using shadow clones to achieve Sage Mode is the most suitable and fastest way to do so.

"Boom."

One of the shadow clones turned into smoke and dissipated.

……

Meanwhile, in the Chunin Exams venue, Naruto's eye shadow, reminiscent of Sage Mode, had already appeared around his eyes.

"Sasuke, get serious."

"bring it on."

The moment he finished speaking, Naruto's speed increased dramatically.

"Shh!"

Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto could still see the punch coming at him clearly. Sasuke dodged to the side, the fist passing right by his cheek.

Just as he was about to retaliate, a force from the impact on his face sent him flying.

"boom."

Sasuke, who had been thrown backward, regained his footing and looked at Naruto with some confusion in his eyes.

"The Frog Daggers can utilize natural energy to create attacks, which you can think of as expanding the attack range."

Sasuke nodded: "Is that so? We didn't use this kind of attack when fighting the Nine-Tails because it wasn't very effective, right?"

"Furthermore, because of the enhanced perception, even if you don't make eye contact with me, your combat power hasn't actually decreased much. Sage Mode is really useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke looked up at the few people watching from the sidelines.

With Brother Yun and the others around, there's really no need to hold back. Besides, this duel is also for those guys to see. The confrontation with the Nine-Tails in the second assessment was quite a spectacle, but the actual power and intimidation need to be demonstrated in the third match.

This... might also be the son that Brother Yun was after.

"Let's continue, Naruto."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two clashed again.

Having learned from previous experience, with Sasuke deliberately avoiding them, the Frog Kumite technique could no longer be very effective.

and……

"Om..."

With a single hand, Naruto gathered Rasengan, and the three Naruto clones surrounded Sasuke.

"boom!"

However, the sudden appearance of a skeleton stopped the Rasengan's advance, and a section of an arm made of blue chakra reached out with its bone claws to grab Naruto.

"Shh!"

As Naruto retreated, the Rasengan in his hand gathered and expanded once more. The giant Rasengan collided with the bone claw, and the impact instantly swept around.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, the Rinnegan with six tomoe appeared in Uchiha Yun's eye sockets, and a repulsive force burst forth the instant he reached out his hand.

With precise control, the impact of the waves passing over the stands was completely blocked.

Kakashi, standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief: "That really is... terrifying power!"

Ah Kai clenched his fist: "A youth that never gives up and fights to the death is truly passionate!"

Kakashi, who was already used to Guy, ignored him and looked at Yun instead, saying, "At this rate, this space might not be enough for them to perform well."

Yun smiled and said, "If we let the two of them fight freely, it's indeed a bit unlikely..."

As soon as he finished speaking, four shadow clones appeared in front of him.

"In order for my disciple to perform at his best, I will have to make some sacrifices."

The four shadow clones nodded and then instantly appeared at the four corners of the arena.

Four Red Yang Formation!

A semi-transparent red barrier appeared, even isolating the proctors.

Yun looked at Sasuke: "Go ahead and fight, I'll be watching."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan instantly turned towards Naruto.

Amaterasu!

The black flames rose up and spread out in all directions as if they had a physical form.

"Boom bang bang..."

A series of explosions of smoke followed, and all of Naruto's shadow clones vanished, but his main body was nowhere to be found.

"boom!"

A kunai attacked from behind, and Sasuke parried it horizontally with his short blade. In an instant, the two were fighting again.

The Susanoo's skeletal defenses, with black Amaterasu flames burning all around, were all dodged under its control.

Naruto, who had retreated, was somewhat troubled. Sasuke had once told him about the drawbacks of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and that such a frequency of use was too much of a burden for Sasuke.

So... does that mean we can only use Nine-Tails?

"Roar!!"

Crimson chakra swept through the Four Red Yang Formation, and Naruto's pupils changed at that moment.

Sasuke on the other side nodded: "Even though we're friends, a fight without going all out is meaningless."

"Om..."

The six-pointed Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, and the next moment, the Susanoo skeleton enveloping him rose from the ground.

Black flames gathered on the hand bones.

"boom!!!"

With a single strike, a violent shockwave swept across the entire Four Red Sun Formation once again.

The Nine-Tails' power clashed with the initial Susanoo, and such overwhelming power immediately drew the attention of everyone in the stands.

"Who's winning?"

"do not know……"

"Is this the power that Konoha's Team 7 was sealed away?"

"Heh... No wonder Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure said it was meaningless. I didn't understand before, but now that I've seen it, I realize it really is meaningless!"

"If we don't seal away their powers, even the Nine-Tails will probably be chased and beaten by them, right?"

"That Hokage's son is a perfect Jinchūriki; he also possesses half the power of the Nine-Tails within him."

"How old are they? It's outrageous!"

"Indeed... it's meaningless now. We care about the future, but for that person, the assessment is just for the sake of assessment."

……

A murmur arose, and Onoki clenched his fists in the stands.

In comparison, the Uchiha's power is definitely lacking, but Konoha is not without ways to overcome this gap.

At the very least, Uchiha Kumo, who once possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, would definitely point out the path ahead for his disciple.

"Having seen such power, do you still have the desire to defeat those three brats?"

As Heitu spoke, he looked at Zhitu.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhi Tu looked solemnly at the scene, at the place where a large crater had appeared.

"We've only ever heard that a portion of their power was sealed. We don't actually have a single one of the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. We also don't know how strong the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is."

"That black flame was activated the moment Sasuke Uchiha's gaze fell upon it. That technique, I'm afraid only Naruto could have dodged it."
