Just as Sasuke was being suppressed and unable to move by Senga, Yamato and Sakura arrived. Upon seeing Senga, they both called out simultaneously,
"Senior Senga!"
Sasuke paused for a moment when he heard how they addressed Senga, then looked at Senga's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and a name popped into his mind.
"Senga? You're Uchiha Senga?!"
Sasuke was no stranger to this name, because he often heard it from Itachi when he was a child, and Itachi's tone when mentioning Senga was clearly very respectful.
Itachi once said to young Sasuke with a look of longing,
"Sasuke, today Senga Chiga told me that the Hokage is someone who is recognized by everyone, not someone who has to become Hokage to gain everyone's recognition. Do you think he's right?"
Sasuke was too young to understand the meaning of those words, and his answer was...
"Brother, I'm hungry!"
Itachi could only shake his head helplessly and drag Sasuke to eat his favorite three-colored dumplings.
There were many similar scenes. Thinking of these, a smile involuntarily appeared on Sasuke's face, but it was quickly replaced by hatred.
Someone Itachi respects can't be a good person! Especially since Senga has awakened the Mangekyo!
Sasuke thought that Senga had most likely participated in the massacre of the Uchiha Clan back then, and perhaps that's when her Mangekyou Mangekyo was activated!
Sasuke's expression grew increasingly ferocious, his Sharingan flashing with a scarlet light.
Senga was completely baffled, wondering what was wrong with Sasuke this time? He seemed to have been injected with adrenaline ever since he learned his name.
All I can say is, he truly lives up to his Uchiha Sasuke!
Sasuke roared angrily, and the Cursed Seal on his neck began to spread rapidly outwards. Sasuke's skin darkened, and a pair of "wings" grew from his back.
He has already activated the second form of the Curse Mark of Heaven, hoping to use its power to clash with Senga, who possesses the Mangekyo Curse Mark of Heaven.
Sasuke pressed his hand down, and black lightning appeared accompanied by a piercing bird cry. His wings flapped violently, and he charged towards Senga at incredible speed.
"Chidori!"
This situation seemed so familiar to both Senga and Naruto; Sasuke had encountered Itachi in Konoha back then, and they were in a similar predicament.
Of course, the result was the same.
Senga raised his leg and kicked Sasuke with perfect accuracy in the abdomen, sending him flying into the rock wall.
Sasuke was nearly knocked unconscious by the kick. He struggled to get out of the wall, clutching his abdomen and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
When he looked at Senga again, his eyes were filled with apprehension.
He had just used his full strength in the Chidori, yet it was still so easily neutralized by Senga. The difference in their strength was simply too great!
Sakura looked at Sasuke's miserable state, her face showing heartache. She called out to Sasuke...
"Sasuke! Come back! We all miss you!"
Naruto, not wanting to see Sasuke continue getting beaten up, also shouted out.
"Sasuke! Senga Chiga is your clansman. With him around, no one in the village will dare to cause you trouble!"
After Naruto met with the Fourth Hokage, his attitude towards some of Konoha's high-ranking officials underwent a subtle change; he no longer had the unconditional trust he once had.
Sasuke looked at Naruto and Sakura's sincere faces and was deeply moved. But now his obsession with revenge had surpassed everything else. He would never think of returning to Konoha before he had completed his revenge.
Moreover, Naruto's words just now hurt his pride. He's been here for three years, spending every day training. What was the purpose of all this?
Isn't it all about improving one's own strength and becoming more powerful?
Letting him return to Konoha by relying on his so-called clansmen is worse than killing him.
Sasuke roared at Naruto,
"Are you kidding me? I don't need to rely on anyone now! And I don't need any so-called kinsmen!!!"
Naruto's expression froze, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and his eyes instinctively turned to Senga.
He has now become dependent on Senga's existence because Senga possesses unimaginable power, and more importantly, Senga is his father's best friend and has revealed the whole truth to him!
Even Jiraiya couldn't do this last point, so Naruto has placed Senga in an extremely important place in his heart and trusts Senga completely.
Senga didn't notice the fatherly look in Naruto's eyes. He slowly walked up to Sasuke, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan gazing down at Sasuke.
Under the pressure of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke's mental defenses were on the verge of collapse. He let out a hysterical scream and used Chidori again, trying to destroy those nightmarish eyes.
Senga had lost patience with Sasuke. He lifted his leg and stomped heavily on Sasuke's back, knocking him to the ground.
With a slight pressure on his foot, Sasuke let out a scream and completely lost consciousness.
Senga bent down, grabbed Sasuke by the shoulder, and lifted him up. Then, turning to Naruto, she tossed Sasuke over to him.
"Next."
Naruto was still in a daze and didn't even realize what was happening when Sasuke crashed down right in front of him, bouncing a few times on the ground and letting out a soft groan of pain.
Naruto snapped out of his daze and quickly bent down to Sasuke on his back. Feeling the familiar aura emanating from Sasuke, a smile appeared on Naruto's face.
Senga's lips twitched a few times, thinking to himself, "Sakura Hinata? Sasuke is definitely your true love!"
Seeing this, Sakura quickly went to Naruto's side and reached out to help treat Sasuke, but was stopped by Senga.
"Don't do anything unnecessary, just keep him dizzy!"
Sakura trembled, her outstretched hand freezing in mid-air. Seeing this, Naruto quickly said...
"Sakura, let's listen to Senga. If Sasuke wakes up, things might get complicated..."
At this point, Naruto glanced at Senga subtly, his meaning quite clear: if Sasuke woke up, he'd get another beating from Senga.
Sakura understood Naruto's meaning and could only silently lower her arms, gazing at Sasuke with deep affection.
Naruto felt a pang of heartache and sighed silently in his heart.
At this moment, Yamato, who had been ignored by everyone for a long time Yamato, suddenly looked at Senga and asked,
"Senior Senga, are you coming back with us?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto abruptly looked up at Senga, his eyes pleading. He desperately wanted Senga to return to Konoha with him.
During the time Senga was with him, he felt an unparalleled sense of security, and he truly couldn't bear to see Senga leave.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Senga chuckled and said,
"Of course I want to go back, but I don't know if some people will welcome me."
