Hung Up and Beaten

As he pondered, the turmoil outside suddenly ceased, causing Roy to narrow his eyes. "Is the battle about to end?"

"Let's go out and take a look."

The eager crowd leaped out of the cave, only to be horrified to find that the surrounding forest had been completely engulfed in flames, the earth was scorched, dry and cracked, just like the aftermath of Great Earthquake.

On the other side of the ground, Uchiha Sasuke knelt on one knee, his expression indifferent, his eyes calm, and even the tomoe in his pupils had been withdrawn.

Deidara, sitting on the ground, looked at the other's disdainful expression, as if recalling the scene when his art was ignored by Itachi. His mentality exploded, and he lifted his clothes, preparing to break the seal on his chest and send the bastard in front of him to hell with Patrick Star.

To everyone's surprise, Roy appeared behind Deidara in the next instant. His speed, which seemed like teleportation, caused Uchiha Sasuke contract sharply. Only then did he realize that besides Deidara, the other side still had a full fighting force.

Seeing that Roy had stopped him from exploding on the spot, Deidara said somewhat resentfully, "Brother Roy, don't stop me! Today I'm going to die with him!"

Roy was speechless. You can't just blow up a wall whenever you want. And with your self-destruction, Patrick Star's prisoner group, which has a radius of ten kilometers, won't be able to escape. You're just hurting your own teammates!

However, Roy also knew that he couldn't push someone who was so carried away, so he earnestly advised, "True art should be flawless. If you are countered by your enemy, it only means that your art is not perfect enough. You should continue to develop bombs that are not afraid of lightning and can conceal the flow of Chakra. If you just self-destruct like this, all that will be left behind is a defective product full of flaws."

"Art...perfect..." Deidara's eyes regained their amazing brilliance. "I understand, I'll let this guy go this time!"

Roy remained silent. This guy really has no self-awareness!

Uchiha Sasuke remained unmoved, his eyes indifferent. "Now you can tell me the whereabouts of Uchiha Itachi!"

"Itachi is capturing the Four Tails Jinchuriki. That's all I have to say. You'd better take care of yourself." Roy said, preparing to turn and leave, when he suddenly heard Uchiha Sasuke's voice ring out again.

"Leave those three from Konoha behind before you leave!"

Roy paused, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense, as if a storm was gathering at a spring, and in the next moment, endless momentum rose up. In just a moment, he transformed from a harmless little rabbit into a great demon king who killed countless people.

Hozuki Suigetsu's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "That idiot! He already got the information he wanted, why did he have to cause trouble!"

Sakura cried out emotionally, "Sasuke, you're no match for him! Run away! Don't come after us!"

Sasuke a deep breath. He had initially been tempted to retreat due to the enemy's strength, but after Sakura's provocation, he looked at her with icy eyes and said, "Leave them behind, and I'll let you go!"

"I'd really like to know, what gives you the audacity to say such a thing?"

"Just look at those eyes!"

"Is that so? Then I'll gouge out your eyes!"

As soon as Roy finished speaking, he appeared in front of Sasuke in an instant. In Sasuke's violently contracted pupils, his right leg, which brought with it gusts of wind, continued to enlarge.

Bang!

Smoke billowed, and a wooden pillar appeared. Sasuke, who had used the Substitution Technique to dodge the attack, broke out in a cold sweat. "So fast! Even with the Sharingan activated, it's hard to keep up with his movements. Compared to this guy, Rock Lee's speed is far inferior!"

Before he could catch his breath, a sudden gust of wind struck, and the enemy reappeared before him without any warning, as if he had teleported across space.

Sasuke knew that he was far behind in speed and could not even complete hand seals. The only way to turn the tide was to rely on the Sharingan's genjutsu to trick his opponent into falling into his trap without them knowing.

"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!"

After making up his mind, Sasuke's three tomoe spun wildly in his eyes, their blood-red color spreading as Sharingan.

Then, Roy charged forward without hesitation. In Sasuke's bewildered gaze, he kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into the air. Then, as if in a series of attacks, he walked up through the air and, after five or six heavy blows, slammed him into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"So... so strong!" Hozuki Suigetsu had already given up hope. Sasuke and the enemy were not even on the same level. It was like a Jonin bullying a Genin, completely crushing him.

As the dust settled, a hideous, disgusting winged monster was revealed. Kusanagi Sword crackled in its hand as it looked at Roy and asked in a deep voice, "Why are the Sharingan's genjutsu ineffective against you?"

"Because you are too weak!" Roy said coldly. Did he really think he couldn't Acting Style?

"Those who dare to underestimate these eyes usually don't live long. You're not the first, and you won't be the last!"

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

Lightning crackled and thunder roared, as if thousands of birds were chirping in unison. With the amplification of the Heavenly Curse Mark and the activation effect of the Chidori Stream on his cells, Sasuke's speed increased tenfold, which was the source of his confidence to say those words.

However, while Sasuke was still on his run, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train. His offensive collapsed, followed by a series of rapid attacks that made it impossible for him to maintain his Chakra circulation. He was forced to exit the cursed seal state and finally fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, unable to get up.

Shizune and the others were not surprised by this outcome; the level difference between the two sides was too great, and defeat was only a matter of time. However, they were still extremely shocked because the battle ended too quickly. The cold and indifferent Uchiha Sasuke before the battle was dead and lay on the ground like a dead dog in less than half a minute, making people wonder if they had watched a fake battle.

"Damn it, I haven't... completed my revenge on that man yet, how can I... die here!" It has to be said that hatred gave Uchiha Sasuke endless motivation. Even when he was repeatedly seriously injured by Roy, there was still a continuous stream of power exploding and rising within him.

"I'll take your eyes!" Roy stretched out his two sinister fingers and gouged out Uchiha Sasuke's prized eyes.

"No!" Sakura struggled to rush over and stop him, but was thrown back by an invisible force. She couldn't even get close to Roy's body and could only watch helplessly as her idol's face twisted in a ferocious manner.

Seeing the increasingly violent hatred in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, Roy knew clearly that according to the so-called World Child theorem, unexpected troubles should be brewing soon.

Sure enough, an imperceptible spatial ripple spread behind Roy, and a black spike appeared silently, carrying a sharp edge that seemed about to pierce Roy's heart at any moment.

However, Roy seemed to have anticipated this, and with a sudden pull, he grabbed the black nail and yanked a black-clad man with a vortex mask out of the void. With a speed exceeding Human Limit, he delivered a whip kick to the black-clad man's chest. The sound of bones shattering rang out, and the black-clad man was blasted into the ground the next moment. The ground even cracked open Great Canyon thousands of meters long, completely swallowing him.
