Big Sen Is Invincible

"Hey, hey! Why aren't you guys excited at all? We're finally leaving the village to carry out a mission!"

Naruto tried to draw everyone's attention by shouting.

"Alright, alright, we get it."

Kakashi Hatake walked past the others and rubbed Naruto's head, taking on the role of leader as the group set off grandly toward the Land of Waves.

"Eh, eh..."

Naruto looked thoroughly unsatisfied.

I'd even come up with some fiery lines to say...

He followed the group dejectedly, dragging Uchiha Sen along with him. Kakashi had no choice but to entrust Naruto with the important task of looking after Sen.

After all, Naruto was the only person on the team who could communicate normally with Uchiha Sen.

The group walked through the forest, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, completely unaware that danger was quietly drawing near.

A puddle on the ground caught Kakashi's attention.

Heh, what a childish trick. Still, it worked out well. Kakashi had not forgotten the mission Hiruzen Sarutobi had assigned him.

At the rear of the group, Uchiha Sen looked around here and there. Seeing him fall farther and farther behind the main group, Naruto anxiously urged him.

"Hole-Hole Monster, we should hurry up and catch up. I know you're strong, but I don't know how to get to the mission site."

[Beep! An anomaly has been detected in the puddle on the ground...]

[Beginning scan...]

[Code Name: Demon Brothers. Strength: Chunin. Danger Rating: 3.]

At the same time, Uchiha Sen's eyes changed. The two blue figures lurking in the dirty water were laid bare before him.

Naruto, standing beside him, was still confused. Why had this Hole-Hole Monster stopped again? Oh no, Kakashi and the others had already gone far ahead.

Uchiha Sen pointed at the small puddle on the ground and cursed angrily.

"What petty scoundrels dare attempt to ambush the valiant Sen Warrior? Get out here! See if I don't beat you to death!"

Naruto still seemed not to understand what was happening. He looked around and patted Uchiha Sen.

"I'm telling you, Hole-Hole Monster, there's no one here."

"Hehehe, you actually saw through our disguise. Then we'll take the two of your lives first!"

Two shadows suddenly leaped out, black blade chains whipping toward Uchiha Sen.

"Ah!"

Naruto had already collapsed to the ground in fright. It was his first time encountering something like this.

[Beep! The enemy attack will arrive in three seconds. The system has analyzed the optimal evasion route. Please proceed in the direction indicated by the red arrows.]

Uchiha Sen remained where he was, looking arrogant as he declaimed.

"Hmph, insignificant clowns! Have you not heard of the Blue Star Hole-Hole Monster? Come meet your deaths!"

As he spoke, he lifted his foot, smoothly kicked off his slippers, grabbed one in each hand, and charged at the Demon Brothers.

Hmph, he was just a brainless little brat!

Slippers? What a joke.

The Demon Brothers ridiculed the idiot before them countless times in their hearts, while already imagining the sight of tearing him to pieces.

Hidden in the shadows, Kakashi watched everything tensely. Even now, there was still not the slightest trace of chakra fluctuation from Uchiha Sen.

Something was off...

Lord Third had only said to investigate. He never said anything about causing deaths...

[How did I end up with such a disobedient host? Granting host a ten-second top-tier taijutsu experience.]

Whoosh!

Fwoosh!

A fierce gust suddenly swept through the forest, kicking up clouds of dust that blotted out the sky.

The dust instantly engulfed the three of them, and everyone lost sight of them.

Smack! Smack!

Two heavy, muffled impacts rang out. By then, Kakashi had appeared with the advance group.

"That shouldn't be possible. This wind is strange..."

How could a peaceful forest suddenly be hit by such violent winds? If no one else had appeared, then there was only one explanation: Uchiha Sen.

The dust quickly dispersed, revealing Uchiha Sen. He was sitting squarely atop the Demon Brothers.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Which despicable villain made such a huge cloud of smoke to harm this emperor?"

[Heh, wasn't that basically cursing yourself?]

Uh...

Everyone present was rather speechless. They could all more or less guess that the smoke had probably been caused by Uchiha Sen himself.

Kakashi was already stunned. Never mind the two pig-headed fools on the ground—the scattered broken teeth alone explained everything. It would take tremendous force to hit someone like that.

When he looked at Uchiha Sen again, Kakashi's gaze turned grave.

Is this guy really crazy, or is he pretending...

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha's face was filled with disbelief.

"Impossible... How could this be possible... How could the disgrace of the Uchiha Clan be this powerful... No!"

"Phew. Naruto, can you ask Sen how he did that?" Kakashi was extremely curious. Even Might Guy, Leaf Village's strongest taijutsu ninja, could not achieve this without opening the Eight Gates Released Formation.

Naruto nodded and went over to ask.

"Hole-Hole Monster, how did you do that just now?"

To his surprise, Uchiha Sen haughtily turned his head aside and completely ignored Naruto.

Uh... this was awkward...

Kakashi had not expected this situation either. Then he remembered that the Third Hokage had mentioned before they left that Sen seemed particularly sensitive to money. He immediately pulled out a thousand-yuan bill and held it out.

"Sen, if you tell us, I'll give you this money."

Uchiha Sen glanced down with his little eyes, then immediately resumed his haughty expression.

"Hmph, the bravest warrior on the planet will never bow for money. How could foolish native muggles like you understand the power of Blue Star warriors?"

Kakashi froze. What was going on?

He looked down at the thousand-yuan bill in his hand and instantly understood. He then pulled out four more and said,

"Yuan can buy you a meal of barbecue." (Of course, the cheap kind.)

At the mention of barbecue, Uchiha Sen burst out laughing. He said, "Hmph, since you want to know so badly, I'll satisfy your curiosity."

Yet the little movements of his hands did not stop at all. He snatched the yuan and stuffed it into his pocket.

"I noticed those two idiots a long time ago. But you people are too stupid. You didn't even see two people that obvious?"

The others looked embarrassed. Sasuke spat disdainfully, while Kakashi patiently asked,

"Oh? How did you know they were in the puddle?"

Uchiha Sen looked as if it were only natural. "I saw them with my eyes."

!!

Saw them with his eyes?

That one sentence set off towering waves in Kakashi's heart.

Could that guy have already awakened the Sharingan?

Sasuke understood the implication as well, his face full of shock.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart for the moment, Kakashi continued.

"Sen, then how did you defeat them?"

But the moment he spoke, Uchiha Sen suddenly sprang to his feet, his expression agitated as he shouted.

"My name isn't Sen!"

"Huh? Then what's your name?" Naruto asked in confusion.

Uchiha Sen became haughty again, his eyes practically drifting into the sky.

"Call me Big Sen! You're all too weak. Only I, Big Sen, am invincible!"

Uh...

"But you still haven't said how you defeated them!"

"Big Sen is invincible!"

"Right, right, invincible... Can you tell me now?"

"Big Sen is invincible!"

Kakashi: I have dozens of things I can't put into words, and I'm dying to say them!
