Uchiha Bing

The speed was too fast. The three of them had no time to use ninjutsu. Naruto placed one hand on Hinata's shoulder and activated Flying Thunder God.

The two vanished in an instant.

The fire dragon swept past, carving a straight path through the Forest of Death.

Anko, watching from outside, narrowed her eyes.

"What's going on? No genin could possibly use such a terrifying ninjutsu."

With that, she immediately rushed toward the battle.

After evading that attack, cold sweat trickled down Sasuke's forehead.

"So strong."

Although it was not his first time facing such a powerful opponent, Sasuke still felt helpless.

Naruto's expression was icy. Whoever this person was, since he had delivered himself to them, Naruto would make sure he stayed.

"Protect yourself."

Naruto spoke, then vanished.

"Damn Uchiha! Damn Itachi Uchiha! Feel the same pain I felt! I'll kill every one of your relatives."

"Starting with your beloved little brother."

Uchiha Bing's face was cold, his expression crazed as he muttered to himself.

Once Sasuke learned that he was the target, he no longer had any intention of running. He charged forward at high speed.

He drew the short blade at his waist.

"You worthless trash. You think you dare use swordsmanship?"

Watching Sasuke Uchiha's swordsmanship, Uchiha Bing wore a look of utter disdain.

With a kunai in hand, he easily blocked Sasuke's attacks.

He continued taunting him without pause.

The mentality of a cat playing with a mouse gave him immense satisfaction, especially when his opponent was his enemy.

With one hand, he knocked the short blade from Sasuke's grip and looked at him mockingly.

[Sharingan]

Sasuke was furious, but he had not lost his reason. He instantly activated his Sharingan, its single tomoe spinning in his eyes.

[Genjutsu]

Sasuke cast a genjutsu, only for his gaze to meet a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The genjutsu rebounded.

Sasuke saw himself being killed, his family being slaughtered, and finally Konoha being destroyed.

His mind suffered a devastating blow, and he collapsed unconscious.

"This is the Uchiha. This is the peace you traded everything for. How weak and useless."

Uchiha Bing's gaze grew even colder. Thinking of how the Uchiha clan had become full of people like this filled him with the urge to destroy everything.

Such Uchiha did not deserve to live in this world.

The killing intent in his heart surged wildly. He aimed the kunai in his hand at Sasuke on the ground.

"You've been yapping from the very beginning. I hate clowns like you the most."

A cold voice came from behind him.

Uchiha Bing was startled. He instinctively reversed the kunai in his hand and stabbed behind him.

Naruto raised a hand and caught the kunai, while his left hand reached for the man's eyes.

Naruto was not the type to waste words. In battle, he struck directly at vital points.

Bang!!!

His body vanished, and a chunk of wood was reduced to splinters.

"Nine-Tails jinchuriki."

A slow voice sounded from afar.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan stared fixedly at Naruto.

Naruto met his gaze without fear.

Though he did not know where this brat got his courage, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity pass?

[Genjutsu]

Naruto sensed it instantly, and his eyes turned cold.

With the reinforcement of his many cultivation techniques, the genjutsu of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan had no effect on him.

"How can it be ineffective?"

The smile that had just appeared on his face froze. He had known that this Nine-Tails brat was strong, but he had never expected even the genjutsu of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan to be useless.

"Heh, I never expected the Nine-Tails jinchuriki to possess such strength."

Uchiha Bing had awakened his Sharingan later in life, so he knew nothing about Naruto being a perfect jinchuriki. As for those who did know, they were either dead or had their memories sealed.

Even Itachi Uchiha and the others had that portion of their memories sealed.

That was why Uchiha Bing dared to speak so arrogantly now.

Naruto's gaze was indifferent.

He pressed his palms together.

[Adamantine Sealing Chains]

Ten chains appeared, sealing off every possible route of escape.

"Heh, nothing but a petty trick. Since the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is ineffective, I'll show you the supreme power of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Bing paid no attention to the chains rushing toward him.

The three tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly before connecting into a cross-shaped pattern.

Mangekyō Sharingan.

Naruto instantly became vigilant. The abilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan were strange and unpredictable. Without knowing what its ability was, even Naruto did not dare let down his guard.

[Shadow Clone Jutsu]

More than a dozen Narutos appeared in an instant, surrounding and protecting the original body.

"Trying to use Shadow Clones to confuse me?" Uchiha Bing's eyes were full of contempt.

He widened his left eye and locked onto Naruto.

"Here it comes."

All the Shadow Clones instantly went on guard.

At the same time, they positioned themselves before the original body.

The space seemed to darken as an aura of extreme cold swept through.

Crack, crack, crack!!!

At Naruto's location, black ice froze everything.

The Shadow Clones, along with the original body, were frozen within the black ice.

"Ha ha ha!"

Laughter rang out as Uchiha Bing looked proudly at his masterpiece.

"I only intended to kill that brat. I never expected such a bonus. Since we've met, all I can say is that your luck is terrible."

"If I hand you over to the leader, I'm sure he'll be delighted."

As he spoke, he slowly approached Naruto Uzumaki.

Within the ice, Naruto felt even the chakra in his body freezing.

"How is it, brat?"

The Nine-Tails' voice rang in Naruto's mind.

"I'm fine."

Naruto answered. An ordinary ninja might have already frozen to death.

But Naruto was already in a state of Threefold Reversal, and all of his chakra was contained within his dantian.

With the power of Uchiha Bing's eyes as it was now, completely freezing Naruto's chakra was basically impossible.

Still, Naruto did not break free immediately, because he saw that idiot slowly approaching him.

"Once you're frozen by my Hell Ice, your flesh, soul, and chakra will all slowly perish."

As he explained, the frozen clones suddenly shattered and disappeared.

Only Naruto's original body remained frozen in the ice.

Uchiha Bing gradually approached Naruto's original body, still considering how to take him out of Konoha.

But Naruto suddenly vanished from within the ice.

"What?"

"Not good."

Uchiha Bing reacted quickly.

[Susanoo.]

A golden fist struck from behind, slamming into the black skeleton.

Crack, crack, crack!!!

The skeleton shattered instantly.

Uchiha Bing's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His body instinctively retreated as ocular power surged from his eyes.

The second stage of Susanoo activated.

It barely blocked Naruto's terrifying punch.

In the distance, Hinata, who had been observing everything with her Byakugan, finally let out a long breath of relief.

Just now, she had nearly been unable to stop herself from intervening. If not for seeing through her Byakugan that Naruto's chakra was still highly active...

"There's something wrong with this brat."

Only now did Uchiha Bing finally realize that something was abnormal about Naruto. Even for a jinchuriki, wasn't this guy absurdly strong?
