I Beat Sasuke = Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre?

"Do you surrender?!"

"Damn it... Agh!"

"I asked if you surrender!"

"You... Agh!"

Naruto punched Sasuke on the ground while shouting arrogantly.

Sasuke had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

It was one thing for this brat to refuse to fight properly, but he had actually pinned him to the ground.

And he kept shouting things like "Do you surrender?"...

Worst of all, the guy specifically targeted his face!!

Humiliation like never before, coupled with the verbal taunts, sent unprecedented fury spreading through Sasuke's chest.

Naruto, who had been enjoying himself, suddenly noticed that the brat on the ground had been beaten red-eyed...

Huh!?

Sharingan!?

Noticing the comma-shaped mark in Sasuke's pupils, Naruto wore a strange expression.

Fine, fine, fine...

You're powering up in the middle of a fight, huh?!

Today, I, Naruto, will make sure you know who the real protagonist is!

"I'll kill—"

Sasuke, bruised and swollen, growled hoarsely. He looked ready to power up at any second.

But before he could finish, Naruto slammed a fist into his face and interrupted his casting.

"Naruto, enough."

Clack—

Naruto then realized someone had grabbed his wrist. The voice by his ear was incredibly familiar.

It was the Third Hokage!

Naruto glanced back at him, then obediently got up and stepped aside.

"You bastard!!"

Sasuke rose in a rage and continued glaring fiercely at Naruto, until a hand pressed down on his head.

"That's enough, Sasuke."

"The battle is over."

Hearing his brother's voice, Sasuke's furious emotions immediately calmed.

Then his eyes closed, and he collapsed into Itachi's arms.

Naruto was a little speechless at the sight.

He had never expected that beating Sasuke up would awaken his eyes.

After all, on the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, even after Sasuke's parents died, he had only awakened One Tomoe.

So...

Being beaten by me = Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre?

This showed that Sasuke's anger at being pinned down and beaten was no less than it had been on the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre!

"Itachi, my apologies."

"This child..."

The Third Hokage spoke with a kindly smile on his face, but Naruto noticed that when the old man saw Sasuke awaken his eyes, his expression clearly froze for a moment.

Who knew what he was thinking.

"Third Hokage, I failed to keep an eye on Sasuke."

"But Sasuke truly has this child to thank for awakening his eyes."

Itachi gave Naruto a gentle smile.

But Naruto did not respond at all. He turned his head away, too lazy to pay any attention to this Filial Son.

"Third Hokage, I'll take him back first."

Itachi carried Sasuke on his back, bid the Third Hokage farewell, and turned to leave.

That left only the Third Hokage and Naruto at the scene.

One old and one young, they stood there without either speaking first.

After a long while, the Third Hokage finally could not hold it in any longer and asked.

"Naruto, what was that Space-Time Ninjutsu of yours...?"

The Third Hokage had mainly come to ask about Naruto's ninjutsu.

He had once thought he understood Naruto's strange Kekkei Genkai, but who would have thought that this child also knew Space-Time Ninjutsu??

Moreover, having a ninja capable of Space-Time Ninjutsu in a village carried immense strategic significance.

Just look at this child's father, Minato.

Seeing Naruto suddenly appear behind Uchiha Sasuke earlier had carried more than a hint of Minato using the Flying Thunder God.

Naruto tilted his head and asked innocently, "What is Space-Time Ninjutsu?"

He had his own reasons for using the Space Gate in public just now.

No matter what, his father had been incredibly skilled with the Flying Thunder God. Wasn't it perfectly reasonable for him to awaken some Space-Time Ninjutsu of his own?

As for whether Pot Kage Danzo would reach for him...

Did they really think the Third Hokage had been village chief for nothing?

He was Konoha's ultimate weapon, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, an existence as taboo as the village itself.

Anyone who wanted to touch him would first have to get past the Hokage Advisors and the Third Hokage.

Besides, with such a convenient ability, hiding it and secretly using it would make it far too troublesome to explain.

He might as well reveal it openly and honestly.

Seeing Naruto's expression, the Third Hokage realized that his question had indeed been poorly phrased.

How could a six-year-old child possibly know what Space-Time Ninjutsu was?

So he changed to a more understandable way of putting it.

"That Purple Light Cocoon you used just now."

"Oh... You mean this..."

Naruto raised his hand and threw out a portal. A Purple Light Cocoon appeared out of thin air between them.

The Third Hokage's hand tightened around his beard, and he was so shocked that he could not speak.

Because he had not sensed even the slightest Chakra fluctuation.

Looking at the Purple Light Cocoon, the Third Hokage stood beside the person-height cocoon and inspected it carefully.

When he looked inside, he could see nothing but purple.

After hesitating for a moment, the Third Hokage slowly reached his hand inside.

The next second, another Purple Light Cocoon suddenly appeared five meters away, along with the Third Hokage's arm.

Naruto had deliberately controlled the distance.

Though he did not mind others knowing about his ability, he still had to keep something in reserve.

So he did not dare reveal anything too overpowered.

He especially did not want to tell the Third Hokage that he could teleport to anywhere he had been before.

The Third Hokage rotated his wrist and moved it up, down, left, and right. Looking at his own hand in the distance, he could not shake the strange feeling.
