The Ninja Creation Rebirth requires an enormous amount of Chakra to perform. Naraku, without releasing the Yin Seal, used half of his vast Chakra to perform Creation Rebirth to heal his injuries for just a short while.

Regenerative Medical Ninjutsu, unlike regular Medical Ninjutsu, consumes a great deal of Chakra.

After Naraku's cheeks and ears recovered, he stopped Creation Rebirth. He then leaped backward out of the range of the Chidori Sharp Spear, and extended his left hand, with two rhomboid marks appearing in his palm.

The rhombus mark on the left palm emitted a suction force, Zensui's Chidori Sharp Spear disappeared in a few breaths, replaced by Naraku wielding the Chidori Sharp Spear.

Naraku absorbed the Chakra of the Chidori Sharp Spear in his hand to restore himself, and within two breaths, the Chidori Sharp Spear disappeared.

"Zensui, you know that Ninjutsu is ineffective against me, and you only know a superficial aspect of my power. You can still turn back now, don't ruin yourself!"

"Self-inflicted harm? Hahahaha! How ridiculous! Chieftain, please stop! Your words will make me lose... the last bit of respect I have for you!"

Despite having his Chidori Sharp Spear broken, Uchiha Zensui remained arrogant. After uttering the last three words one by one, he charged towards Naraku at lightning speed, wielding his long sword.

During his charge, Zensui formed a hand Hand Seals and created two clones that Naraku from the left, right, and top.

"Konoha Style Kenjutsu: Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

Having fought for many years, Zensui was highly skilled in both swordsmanship and Ninjutsu. Seeing that ninjutsu was not very effective against Naraku, he resorted to swordsmanship.

Naraku that Zensui remained unrepentant, Naraku felt a mix of emotions. Zensui was so obsessed with the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan; if Naraku also revealed his Mangekyo, he wondered if it could make Zensui turn over a new leaf.

"If I were to show leniency towards such a rebellious act, how could I be worthy of being a leader?"

Naraku's thoughts were somewhat complicated, but his hands were decisive. He drew his long sword from his waist, dodging and parrying left and right, blocking all the attacks from the three figures.

He then unleashed lightning from his entire body, Chidori Current struck the three figures, but they all turned into smoke.

"Then!?"

Naraku concentrated and held his breath, took a step back, twisted his waist and abdomen, and slashed horizontally at the empty space behind him.

Bite!

The true form of Uchiha Zensui, lurking behind him, unleashed a lightning-fast slash attack using the Body Flicker Technique, but Naraku blocked it with a single strike.

The two men gripped knives in both hands, their crimson pupils locked in a stare-in-the-eye.

[Naraku's surroundings changed, his size shrank, and he seemed to have returned to the Naka Shrine. The scene was exactly when he was thirteen years old and was fighting with Fugaku for the position of clan leader.]

However, the person who competed with Naraku for the position of clan leader was not Uchiha Fugaku, but Uchiha Zensui.

The deceased fifth elder of Naka Shrine, smiling, asked loudly:

"Raise your hand if you support Uchiha Nara becoming the clan leader!"

Not a single one of the hundreds of Uchiha elites in the arena raised their hand.

"Raise your hand if you support Uchiha Zensui becoming the clan leader!"

More than a hundred Uchiha elites, including the Uchiha on the stage, raised their hands and unanimously voted in favor.

"Alright, from this day forward, Uchiha Zensui will be the leader of our Uchiha Clan!"

Naraku's uncle, Great Elder Uchiha Okura, stood up and loudly announced to all the Uchiha clan members.

All the Uchiha clan members in the audience applauded.

"Hmph! Ridiculous!"

Naraku coldly, and the scene shifted, returning him to the Four Violet Flames Formation.

After Uchiha Zensui finished using his Sharingan Genjutsu, he noticed that Naraku's face was somewhat blank, and the sword in Naraku's hand seemed to have lost its power.

A sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, his face showing disdain. He held the Ninja Sword in his right hand and reached out with his left to gouge out Naraku's eye socket.

Unexpectedly, Naraku reacted extremely quickly, swiftly grabbing Zensui's outstretched left hand with his right hand, while simultaneously Genin sword with his left hand, and repeatedly stabbing Uchiha Zensui's chest with his index and middle fingers together.

"Eight Gates Pressure Point Hand!"

Zensui's left hand was grabbed by Naraku. Faced with Naraku's lightning-fast, continuous finger strikes, his right hand, holding the Ninja Sword, could only swing the hilt at such close range.

After a series of parries, only two acupoints were blocked. All six acupoints, including the fatal acupoint, were hit by Naraku, causing a blockage in his Chakra.

"Impossible!"

Uchiha Zensui exclaimed in surprise, shocked that Naraku could break through his Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu so quickly.

"You only have Three-Tomoe Sharingan, how could you possibly break my Genjutsu! This is impossible! Impossible!"

The blockage of Chakra in his body made Zensui realize reality: Uchiha Nara had indeed broken through his Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Naraku remained silent, reaching out his left hand to gouge out Zensui's eye socket. Uchiha Zensui's left hand was grabbed by Naraku's right hand; Naraku's strength was immense, and Zensui was unable to pull his arm away.

Uchiha Zensui's eyes flashed with a fierce Flash Cut. The distance was too close. Genin sword with his right hand and grabbed Naraku's outstretched left hand. The two gripped each other's fingers, creating a tug-of-war.

Naraku was at a loss for words regarding his once brilliant but now foolish bodyguard, Zensui, especially after their mission to Hidden Mist that saved Hatake Kakashi and Nohara Rin.

Naraku has already shown his skills. Even without seeing Naraku's eyes, one should have some guesses about his amazing ninjutsu. Did Uchiha Zensui really think that Naraku saved people with Medical Ninjutsu?

"Zensui, nothing is impossible, anything is possible."

The two gripped each other's hands and wrestled. How could Uchiha Zensui possibly be a match for Naraku, who was well-versed in the Ninjutsu of the Sannin Tsunade? Naraku's Chakra was concentrated, greatly amplifying his strength.

"Drink!"

Naraku a soft shout, gathered his Chakra, and unleashed his power. Uchiha Zensui was held high in the air by Naraku's hands.

Sizzle!

Naraku suddenly exerted force with both hands, tearing the wrestler in half, turning him into a rain of blood.

Naraku tossed the body, now split in two, aside without a trace of joy on his face. He had listened intently and meticulously to Zensui's Naraku of the Dōjutsu.

The Masked Ninja, hidden in the gaps of the Four Violet Flames Formation, was observing the battle between the two within the Four Violet Flames Formation very carefully. He was gathering information on their Ninjutsu techniques on the spot, constantly writing and drawing on a scroll with a pen in his hand, seemingly writing something of unknown origin.

"Ninjutsu is ineffective against you, Taijutsu and swordsmanship are no match for you, and your mastery of Genjutsu is also extremely high."

As a regular ninja, you have indeed reached your limit, Uchiha Nara.

Not far in front of Naraku, a figure shifted from illusion to reality; it was Uchiha Zensui. His right eye turned white, and the corpses and blood rain on the ground gradually faded away and disappeared.

Zensui changed his way of addressing Naraku. Uchiha Nara did indeed have some strength. Without relying on the Mangekyō Sharingan, Zensui knew he was no match for him.

"Uchiha Nara, your Ninjutsu skills are indeed very profound. I admit you have the right to be stubborn."

But it's no use! Now, I'll show you the true power of the Uchiha!

In Naraku's Sharingan, Chakra 'Uchiha Zensui meridians, which had been sealed by the Eight Gates Pressure Point Hand, were now flowing again, and his Chakra had returned to its most abundant state. It seemed that any adverse effects on him had disappeared, while those that were beneficial to him had been preserved.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Zensui's body mysteriously shifted from solid to ethereal, and then back to solid in less than a second.

After this bizarre incident, Uchiha Zensui's right eye, which had turned white, returned to its crimson color and became a red Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Is this the Mugen? This ability is far too powerful..."

Naraku had a clear understanding of what had just happened and had made his own judgment.

Naraku, seeing his close bodyguard as such a capable Uchiha elite, once again felt the urge to admonish him and spoke up:

"Zensui, you are indeed qualified to lead the Uchiha. After I become Hokage, I will make you the Uchiha Clan Head."

I will not pursue your crime of attacking me. Turn back, Zensui."
