"You're from the Uchiha Clan?"
A looked at Sasuke's black hair and black eyes, recalling that most people in the Hidden Leaf Village with those features seemed to belong to the Uchiha Clan.
"That's right."
So young?
It wasn't that he underestimated Sasuke. Sasuke was simply too young.
Although strength had little to do with age, there were always geniuses who could easily accomplish things others couldn't.
"The Uchiha Clan... Uchiha Sasuke. I remember now. You're the Uchiha Clan's young master, the one with the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
A nodded.
"With the Mangekyō Sharingan, you could indeed hypnotize all my subordinates and then stroll right in."
"But if you think you can hypnotize me too, you're wrong!"
"No, I considered that, but I can't guarantee you'd never break free of the hypnosis. Beating you into submission would be more appropriate."
At Sasuke's words, A didn't get angry. Instead, a genuine smile spread across his face, and he looked at Naruto.
"Kid, I feel like I'd get along better with your companion than with you."
A series of electrical crackles rang out.
In an instant, lightning enveloped A's entire body.
"If you aren't just boasting, prove it with your strength, not a bunch of pointless words!"
The lightning wrapped around A kept dancing. As tendrils of electricity licked the desk in front of him and the chair beneath him, they left trails of scorch marks.
The smell of burning drifted through the room.
"I've long heard how powerful the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan is. Let's see how much of those eyes' power a brat like you can bring out!"
A stood, tore off his tattered coat, and pointed at Sasuke.
"Naruto, I told you using force would be faster."
Sasuke activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and stared at A.
