Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 258 Aren't you guys underestimating me, your enemy?

Uehara Naraku is extremely powerful.

After Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, was easily knocked down by Uehara Naraku with a single kick, he immediately realized the mistake he had made.

This hooded medical ninja is a more formidable and troublesome enemy than that Uchiha brat from before!

To put it bluntly...

The speed that Uehara Naraku displayed during his attack was so fast that even Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, could barely see it, let alone his next attack!

I thought I valued you enough.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, propped himself up to his feet, his armor clattering on his body. He slowly raised his head and looked at Uehara Naraku, saying, "Now it seems I underestimated your strength."

The next moment, Han swiftly gathered his chakra, his somewhat tattered armor still emitting surging steam as he charged towards Uehara Naraku's location: "Now, please forgive my all-out effort!"

Han suddenly rushed to Uehara Naraku's side and punched him hard on the head!

Han's arm armor also utilizes steam propulsion to accelerate his attacks, making him faster and stronger!

This Five-Tails Jinchuriki's ordinary punch generated a strong gust of wind, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at his fist!

pat!

Uehara Naraku suddenly stretched out his palm and grabbed Han's fist, a scene that startled both the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and Uchiha Sasuke!

How can it keep up with even this level of speed?

No, to catch Han's fist so easily, to be precise, it should be said that it completely overwhelmed Han's speed, right?

"You're very funny."

Uehara Naraku's grip tightened, squeezing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's fist. He nodded slightly and smiled, "That's right, that's the power, that's the speed! Use the pinnacle of your taijutsu to give me a little pleasure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uehara Naraku grabbed Han's fist and slammed his knee into the chest of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, sending him flying!

Bang!

Click!

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, flew backwards and smashed a stone pillar, landing on the ground in a sorry state. Fortunately, the Jinchuriki's regenerative abilities allowed the pain in his chest to gradually spread!

This guy is terrifying!

Han looked down at his fist. Five finger marks had appeared on the outside of his iron glove. Was this the enemy's power? This glove was capable of bearing the power of a Jinchūriki, yet it had been easily crushed into five finger marks!

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki grew increasingly shocked, and sweat began to bead on his forehead: "Your Excellency... is truly terrifying! Akatsuki is indeed as terrifying as the rumors say..."

"We are a peaceful organization."

Uehara Naraku slowly rubbed his wrist, casually saying things that even Uchiha Sasuke next to him couldn't help but blush.

Uehara Naraku slowly looked at Han and said softly, "You kicked me and punched me just now. Isn't it my turn to attack now?"

Chinese:"……"

What kind of nonsense are you spouting!

Didn't you easily deflect every single attack?

The next moment, a look of horror flashed in Han's eyes, because Uehara Naraku had vanished from his sight almost instantly. This made Han think of a man who had been dead for many years: "That speed, the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

You guessed wrong.

Uehara Naraku stood behind Han and sighed.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki suddenly activated his chakra, and a burst of scorching steam erupted from his back: "Boiling Release: Steam Scorch!"

The steam released by Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, far exceeds 100 degrees Celsius. No matter what kind of enemy it is, they will definitely be burned by this steam!

The next moment, Uehara Naraku's figure appeared in front of Han in an instant, dodging the steam attack in the absolute limit!

"We are taijutsu ninjas."

Uehara Naraku punched Han in the abdomen. The immense force pierced through the armor, causing intense pain that made it almost impossible for Han to stand up straight.

Uehara Naraku spoke slowly and deliberately: "In a battle between taijutsu ninjas, how can one use ninjutsu at will!"

Uehara Naraku punched Han in the chin again!

Ignoring the pain in his abdomen, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki seized the opportunity, his arms almost simultaneously blocking Uehara Naraku's attack: "I can block it..."

Bang!

When Han blocked Uehara Naraku's fist with his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his arms felt the power of Uehara Naraku's fist!

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki was slammed into the wall by Uehara's punch!

"Why don't you just let me punch you once?"

Uehara Naraku helplessly spread his palms: "I usually reduce the force when I slap someone's face, but if I don't slap them, I can't guarantee I can control my strength..."

As he spoke, Uehara Naraku's voice turned incredibly sinister: "Who knows, I might just beat you to a pulp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uehara Naraku flipped over and delivered a flying kick!

Just by looking at Uehara's speed, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's expression changed drastically. He immediately called out to his companion in his mind, "Kouou, I might not be able to hold on!"

A crimson chakra cloak instantly enveloped Han's body!

The next second, the half-tailed beast Han flipped over to dodge the kick, and the wall behind him was blasted open by the force of Uehara Naraku's kick!

After missing his kick, Uehara Naraku did not hesitate at all. He flipped over and kicked Han's position one after another!

The half-tailed beast-transformed Han could only fight back, but unfortunately he could only defend or continue to dodge. However, Uehara Naraku stomped hard on his chest, and this five-tailed Jinchuriki was kicked through the top floor of the high-rise building by Uehara Naraku!

Boom!

The entire high-rise building was completely destroyed in their battle!

A group of Iwa ninja who had rushed to help gazed at the ruins and were about to go forward to assist when a voice interrupted them: "Wind Release: Sky Bullet!"

Uehara Naraku carried Uchiha Sasuke out of the ruins, and with a flick of his wrist, he launched a whirlwind ball that sent a group of Iwa ninja flying: "Tsk, Iwagakure is really lucky. Both of their Jinchuriki can achieve complete Tailed Beast transformation."

"What?"

Uchiha Sasuke was still somewhat puzzled.

However, Sasuke quickly understood what Uehara meant.

A white, horse-like creature rose from the ruins, staring wide-eyed at Uehara Naraku. This creature was none other than the Five-Tails, Kokuou!

Compared to other tailed beasts, the Five-Tails Kokuo is not actually ugly. It has huge horns on its head and two big eyes. The only pity is that its mouth is a bit fierce.

Sasuke Uchiha, observing the astonishing chakra emanating from the Five-Tails, Kokuou, said in a deep voice, "This is the Five-Tails?"

"yes."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand to put Sasuke down, then twisted his neck and looked at the Five-Tails Kokuo, saying, "The Five-Tails is just an ordinary tailed beast, far from being powerful. Among the nine tailed beasts, only the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails can arouse people's interest."

Uehara Naraku clenched his wrist and sighed, "Sasuke, if we ever capture the Nine-Tails, you could give it a try. But then again, Naruto is your friend after all, and it would be too cruel to make you fight your friend. In that case, it's better to..."

That's a bit too much like what a manipulative woman would say.

Anyone who hears Uehara Naraku's words should feel a warmth in their heart, followed by a determination to prove themselves.

as predicted.

Sasuke Uchiha quickly shook his head and promised in a deep voice, "No, if we're going to capture the Nine-Tails, then let me go. I'll deal with Naruto; he's incredibly unpredictable! I can bring him back with 100% certainty!"

"Let's focus on capturing the Five-Tails right in front of us first!"

Uehara Naraku shook his head and did not agree.

"What an arrogant and conceited fellow!"

Upon hearing their conversation, the Five-Tailed King Kokuou's face contorted with rage as he raised his head and charged swiftly toward Uehara Naraku!

The five-tailed beast's enormous horn lashed out at Uehara Naraku's body!

Perhaps because Han, the Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails, was afraid of destroying Iwagakure, he specifically instructed the Five-Tails, Kokuo, that this tailed beast did not choose to use the Tailed Beast Ball, but instead wanted to kill Uehara with its enormous body and power!

Based on the Five-Tails' speed and power, it firmly believed that its horns could pierce right through Uehara Naraku's body!

This is definitely overthinking it.

Uehara Naraku slowly clenched his fist, chakra slowly covering it, causing his aura to rise higher and higher!

Uehara Naraku faced the direction from which the Five-Tails, Kokuou, charged and slammed his fist into Kokuou's horn. A crisp cracking sound was heard, as if something had broken...

pat!

The Five-Tailed King Mu was in excruciating pain on the top of his head!

The thickest and sharpest horn on its head split open from the base and fell to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Uehara directly broke off one of King Mu's horns from the top of his head!

The Iwa ninja watching from a distance all showed expressions of surprise!

"How is this possible?"

A middle-aged Iwa ninja watched this scene with some fear: "That's a sharp horn that can smash a small mountain! That guy actually managed to break it with his bare hands..."

Another middle-aged Iwa ninja from the same era also looked somewhat grave: "I remember during the Third Shinobi World War, Lord Han controlled the Five-Tails, Kokuo, and used its horn to smash through a city wall, allowing us to break through Kumogakure's defenses with minimal losses..."

"But that horn was just broken off!"

The Iwa ninja couldn't help but feel uneasy. This time, the Five-Tails Kokuou was facing an enemy that was far more powerful than they had imagined!

Uehara Naraku chuckled and said, "Sasuke, it seems we're going to have one more piece of spoils. Help me put this horn away with the sealing scroll."

"Yes, senior."

Sasuke Uchiha readily complied and landed on the ground, taking out a sealing scroll and storing the horn inside.

The Five-Tailed King Kokuo watched this scene unfold with disbelief in its eyes. It recalled that when it was chatting in the Tailed Beasts' spiritual space, it seemed that the Eight-Tailed Gyūki's horn had been broken by a human with his bare hands.

Is this hooded human in front of me, draped in a black robe with auspicious clouds, actually a ninja who fights a tailed beast with his bare hands?

The face of the Five-Tailed King gradually became serious.

How many people in this ninja world can subdue a tailed beast with their fists?

Why did it have to encounter such a guy? This battle doesn't seem to be as easy to resolve as it imagined!

No, it's even somewhat dangerous!

At least the Five-Tailed King Kokuo has realized that he absolutely cannot fight with his own body anymore and must adopt other methods.

"I'm sorry, Han, we have to use the Tailed Beast Ball..."

The Five-Tails, Kokuo, suddenly opened its mouth, and Yin and Yang chakra began to converge, about to form a black and purple Tailed Beast Ball!

"What the hell?!"

Uehara Naraku's figure appeared instantly beside the Five-Tails Kokuou's head, kicking it in the head and sending the enormous creature flying!

The Tailed Beast's massive body flew backward, instantly tumbling and crushing a large area of ​​buildings. It also caused a group of Iwa ninja who were trying to provide support to quickly retreat, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire of their battle!

This attack completely rendered the Five-Tailed King Muou incapable of resisting.

The tailed beast lay on the ground in agony, its eyes tightly closed, enduring the excruciating pain of being kicked in the head with tremendous force.

Uehara Naraku floated above the Five-Tails Kokuo's head, watching the tailed beast gradually weaken, and said unhappily, "Are you out of your mind to condense a Tailed Beast Ball in front of me? This is a gross underestimation of me as an enemy!"
