Roll Back! (Third Update)

Seeing the enormous claw just a palm's distance from the tip of his nose, Sasuke was drenched in sweat, and his legs weakened uncontrollably.

At that moment, he could no longer hear anything. The only sound was the thunderous pounding of his heart in his chest.

Therefore.

He failed to notice that there was another figure standing behind him.

Without a doubt, that figure was Shinji, who had hurried over.

Amid the smoke and dust filling the sky.

He stood atop the ruins, staring at the Nine-Tails with a cold gaze!

With a single glance, he blocked the Nine-Tails' vicious swipe.

Although the Nine-Tails had been restrained by the ocular technique of his Mangekyō Sharingan, it had not completely lost its ability to resist. With a ferocious expression, it roared, "Damn you!"

The might of the Tailed Beast, accompanied by a tremendous roar, swept rapidly in all directions.

Sasuke, who was hit first, was instantly stunned.

"Hmph!"

Shinji responded with a cold snort.

The Mangekyō Sharingan in his eye sockets once again burst into an eerie radiance!

Since he had taken action, he could not afford to hesitate. Even if it meant exhausting his Dojutsu, he had to crush his opponent quickly and seize control of the situation.

Soon.

Under the overwhelming pressure of Shinji's Mangekyō Sharingan, the Nine-Tails' resistance gradually weakened, and its ferocious expression became much duller.

"It isn't enough. I have to wake Naruto up!"

Shinji's gaze sharpened. Taking advantage of the momentum, he pursued the attack and infiltrated the Nine-Tails' consciousness through his Dojutsu.

If he merely wanted to subdue the Nine-Tails, this would have been enough. But if he wanted to save Naruto, he had to awaken Naruto's consciousness as quickly as possible and let Naruto, as a Jinchuriki, regain control of his mental world.

In the blink of an eye, Shinji's consciousness arrived in a dim underground palace.

"Why has Naruto's mental world become like this?"

From the surrounding environment, he could just barely identify this place as Naruto's mental world.

It was simply completely different from what he remembered. There was no pool or cage. Everywhere he looked, there was orange-red Tailed Beast Chakra existing in the form of bubbles.

"Could the seal have been undone?"

Shinji looked around, frowning slightly.

Back then, the Fourth Hokage had used double insurance when sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

In addition to the seal on the surface, he and his wife—Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki—had each left a portion of their Chakra inside Naruto, in case of emergencies.

But now, this safeguard seemed not to have taken effect.

He wondered inwardly, Is it because Naruto has completely lost consciousness?

The Chakra left inside Naruto by the Fourth Hokage and Kushina needed to perceive Naruto's senses in order to obtain information about the outside world.

If Naruto had merely lost his reason, they could naturally have noticed in time and intervened.

But if Naruto had completely lost consciousness, the Chakra they had left here would inevitably be affected as well, causing their reactions to become sluggish.

With no time to analyze further, Shinji walked directly toward the area where the Tailed Beast Chakra was most concentrated.

Perhaps sensing Shinji's invading consciousness, the Tailed Beast Chakra in Naruto's mental world gradually gathered. Before long, it formed an enormous Nine-Tails head.

It glared at Shinji. "That damned evil eye again!"

"Go back into your cage!"

Shinji could not be bothered to waste words. He struck out with one palm, viciously slapping the Nine-Tails across the face.

Bang.

The enormous Nine-Tails head formed from Tailed Beast Chakra exploded instantly, like a balloon that had been struck apart!

As the Nine-Tails head blocking Shinji's path burst, a corroded, rust-covered gate appeared before him.

"No wonder the Fourth Hokage couldn't sense it. The seal hasn't been completely destroyed after all."

Shinji recognized at a glance that the gate was the Nine-Tails' seal.

Although the gate had been severely corroded and seemed on the verge of collapse, the seal on it remained intact. All the Tailed Beast Chakra had leaked out through the gaps between the bars.

At that moment, the Tailed Beast Chakra Shinji had just dispersed gathered again, transforming into another enormous Nine-Tails head.

It bared its fangs and claws, wishing it could swallow Shinji in one bite. "This time, no one can stop me! I'm going to flatten your village completely!"

Shinji strode forward. "Talk about that after every Uchiha is dead. Get back in there!"

Although this was only Shinji's consciousness, he was surrounded by endless Tailed Beast Chakra. Yet the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan was like a solitary moon hanging high in the sky, dispelling the darkness and driving away the surging Tailed Beast Chakra around him.

As he advanced step by step, the Tailed Beast Chakra filling Naruto's mental world was gradually suppressed and unwillingly retreated behind the gate.

"Damn Uchiha! I'll tear you apart!"

A moment later, the entire mental world held nothing but the Nine-Tails' impotent rage from behind the gate, where it had been sealed once more!

Shinji arrived before the gate and finally saw Naruto lying on the ground, covered in injuries.

"He's hurt this badly. He must have been ambushed!"

Shinji sighed, then stepped forward and shook Naruto.

In an instant.

Shinji's consciousness returned, and he opened his eyes.

The surroundings were still a complete mess, shrouded in smoke and dust like a battlefield. However, the Nine-Tails before him had lost all its former might. Instead, it was gradually melting away like ice cream.

Knowing that Naruto's consciousness had recovered, Shinji did not linger and quickly left the scene.

Even after Shinji departed, Sasuke, who stood before him, did not notice him at all.

He only stared blankly at the Nine-Tails, watching its vertical pupils transform into the pattern of the Sharingan, then watching the Nine-Tails gradually dissolve.

Swish, swish, swish.

Before long, one Konoha Ninja after another arrived at the scene.

Among them was Kakashi, who had hurried over. His left eye was already activated with the Sharingan, and he had been prepared to fight the Nine-Tails to the death.

Back then, he had still been young and had been forbidden from participating in the battle against the Nine-Tails. He had watched helplessly as his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, died, and he had been filled with regret.

Therefore, on the way here this time, he had already made up his mind that even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would stop the Nine-Tails.

However, the scene before him left everyone, including him, dumbfounded.

The utterly terrifying Nine-Tails had actually fallen before the seven-year-old Uchiha Sasuke!

The colossal beast had been defeated by a child.

This scene.

The shock it caused was so great that the Konoha Ninja who had arrived had even forgotten what they were supposed to do.

Kakashi noticed that Sasuke's eyes were scarlet Sharingan—and that there were two conspicuous Tomoe in his pupils!

"Did this child awaken the Sharingan? And it's already the Two-Tomoe Sharingan?"

Shock spread through his heart.

As the Nine-Tails dissolved, the figure of Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, gradually appeared.

The Medical Team Ninja immediately rushed over and began examining Naruto's injuries.

Afterward, he nodded at Kakashi, who was nearby, indicating that although Naruto's injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening and he could be saved!

"Phew."

Only then did Kakashi let out a long breath.

"Was this Uchiha kid the one who subdued the Nine-Tails?"

"Look at his eyes!"

"Seriously, he awakened the Sharingan at only seven? And it's already the Two-Tomoe Sharingan!"

The people around him exchanged words, easing the shock in their hearts.

A Tailed Beast capable of easily destroying an entire country had actually been defeated by a seven-year-old child. Their feelings were incredibly complicated.

As Sasuke remained the focus of everyone's attention, he still had not recovered from the shock. He continued staring blankly at the place where the Nine-Tails had been, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Kakashi glanced at Sasuke's crotch, then hurriedly shouted to the people beside him, "Quick, get him a change of clothes!"
