Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 372 Uehara Naraku, I Want to See Your Full Power (Fourth Update!)

Madara Uchiha had always thought he was arrogant enough.

Upon hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Uchiha Madara vaguely felt that he had been too modest. Uehara Naraku was far too arrogant when he spoke!

Even the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki have to be a little more obedient to him!

Does this guy think the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is his pet?!

This guy…

Why are you so arrogant!

They certainly have the right to be arrogant. Both Orochimaru and Madara Uchiha were able to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki thanks to Uehara Naraku's help...

If it weren't for Uehara Naraku, they indeed wouldn't have been able to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki...

"Mada-senpai..."

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead, his gaze slowly lowering, and continued softly, "I've given you enough power, can't you just obediently fulfill our dream? I've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Madara Uchiha stared at Naraku Uehara and said with a cold smile, "If it's just for releasing the Infinite Tsukuyomi, isn't that a waste of this power?"

Madara Uchiha gripped his staff tightly and shouted, "Uehara Naraku! Your power is too great. It makes one want to test just how strong you really are. This kind of excitement that ignites within people is the first time I've felt this way since Hashirama!"

"Try to curb your excitement!"

Uehara Naraku lowered his hand, rubbed his wrist, and said softly, "Sometimes, even ants get excited when they see a giant elephant, but for them to try and move a giant elephant is something they could never do in their lifetime..."

"You bastard..."

A smile slowly spread across Madara Uchiha's lips, growing wider and wider, his laughter growing louder and louder: "Hahahaha...hahahaha...this is even more to my liking than I imagined!"

Madara Uchiha suddenly brandished his staff at Naraku Uehara and shouted, "Then let me see just how powerful this so-called giant elephant really is!"

"I won't let you down."

Uehara Naraku slowly opened his palm and calmly said, "If you lose..."

Uehara Naraku paused here, his gaze towards Uchiha Madara suddenly turning icy and sinister: "Then obediently become my tool and prepare to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, understand?"

Upon hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Uchiha Madara's expression froze for a second before he curled the corners of his mouth and slowly arched his body.

The next moment, the man who had just become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki suddenly raised his head and coldly shouted, "Then come on! Uehara Naraku! If you lose to me, I will spare your life!"

A strong gust of wind swept towards Uehara Naraku!

Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared beside Naraku Uehara. He had witnessed the battle between Orochimaru and Naraku Uehara and knew very well that using Truth-Seeking Balls for ranged attacks was not very useful against Naraku Uehara. He needed to find the right moment to use Truth-Seeking Balls!

In the face of ninjas of their caliber, the mutual restraint forced them to return to the most primitive stage of ninja combat!

That's pure physical combat!

Only in taijutsu combat can one change tactics at any time and find opportunities to use ninjutsu or Truth-Seeking Balls to attack!

Madara Uchiha swung his staff and smashed it down on Naraku Uehara's head, the air seemingly splitting in two by the staff in his hand!

Uehara Naraku clenched his fist and swung a powerful punch into the air, smashing the staff in Uchiha Madara's hand in two!

Uehara Naraku's fist continued its momentum, heading straight for Uchiha Madara's chin, but instead, Uchiha Madara kicked him hard in the chest!

Madara Uchiha used the force to fly backward!

In their first encounter, Madara Uchiha was at a disadvantage in almost every situation, and his losses were perhaps greater.

Without pausing, Uehara Naraku suddenly charged forward again, swinging his fist to smash directly into Uchiha Madara!

The next moment, a round fan suddenly appeared in Madara Uchiha's hand!

After losing his staff, this guy somehow managed to get his hands on the Uchiha clan's fan again!

Madara Uchiha actually swung his dough fan to meet Naraku Uehara's fist, a cold glint flashing in his eyes!

This fan, passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan, is made from a portion of the Divine Tree's materials, and its effectiveness and durability are astonishing!

Moreover, this was the weapon that accompanied Madara Uchiha in his campaigns across the country!

Naturally, he was also very familiar with fighting with this fan!

"Uchiha Rebound!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku watched speechlessly as he punched the Uchiha fan!

Immediately afterwards, he felt a tremendous force rebounding from the fan, which was rapidly absorbing his power and about to transform into wind-attribute chakra to blow him away!

Uehara Naraku used his palm to maintain his body against the impact of wind-style chakra, then suddenly extended his five fingers, clenched them into a fist, and slammed it down!

"Sorry, the bounce was invalid."

Uehara Naraku's fist slammed into Uchiha Madara through the fan, knocking him to the ground with a brutal punch!

The figure of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki immediately slumped down.

However, Madara Uchiha's body was quickly restored with the help of the Ten-Tails.

Madara Uchiha charged at Naraku Uehara once again, a Truth-Seeking Ball transforming into a sharp black rod in his hand, which he swung towards Naraku Uehara's face!

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in a fierce battle!

Every blow they exchanged was especially deadly!

However, for the two of them, their powerful regenerative abilities allowed them to recover quickly no matter how severe their injuries were, and the two of them gradually became really fierce in their fight!

Madara Uchiha's black rod suddenly shot out and pierced through Naraku Uehara's wing, resulting in Naraku Uehara delivering a knee strike directly into Madara's chest!

Madara Uchiha coughed up blood and was sent flying!

Uehara Naraku stretched out his palm, slowly pulled out the Truth-Seeking Ball black rod stuck in his wing, and crushed it into pieces!

Uehara Naraku glanced at the wounds on his wings that were gradually healing, and his brows furrowed slightly. He still praised, "Well done. You're the first person who could hurt me."

"Ha, that sounds like an honor!"

Madara Uchiha couldn't help but grin. "What a troublesome guy... Uehara Naraku, your taijutsu is probably several times stronger than I knew!"

This statement is not unfounded.

Instead, based on his observations of the battle between Uehara Naraku and Orochimaru, and through his own personal experience, Madara Uchiha finally realized a problem... Uehara Naraku was definitely hiding his strength when he fought Orochimaru!

This guy has been hiding his true strength!

"Uehara Naraku!"

Madara Uchiha once again used Truth-Seeking Balls to condense a black rod and charged towards Naraku Uehara: "You've been hiding your strength very well... It makes me even more eager to fight and see just how strong you really are at your peak!"

"Can."

Uehara Naraku suddenly swept past Uchiha Madara, and as his palm passed by him, he struck and broke the Truth-Seeking Ball black rod in half, and then slammed an elbow strike into Uchiha Madara's shoulder!

Uehara Naraku watched the pain that involuntarily creased between Uchiha Madara's brows, his voice remaining as cold and indifferent as a still well.

"If you want to see my full power, then use every method you can to please me..."

Uehara Naraku's arm suddenly flipped, knocking Uchiha Madara to the ground!

Just as Uehara Naraku crouched down and swung his fist, intending to smash it into his head, he saw Uchiha Madara on the ground open his mouth and puff out his cheeks!

"Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique!"

The next moment, countless plumes of smoke and sparks erupted from his mouth!

In an instant, their battlefield was engulfed by thick smoke and ash, and scorching heat hit them, followed by a violent explosion!

Madara Uchiha's Fire Release ninjutsu is truly terrifying!

This guy can unleash such a powerful fire-style ninjutsu without even needing to form hand seals; he's really not like a proper ninja at all!

Fortunately, Uehara Naraku wasn't a proper ninja either...

"Water Release: Water Wall Technique!"

When the Dust Concealment Technique was released, Uehara waved his hand to create a wave of water that formed a water barrier, transforming into a hemisphere that enveloped Uehara Naraku's figure, allowing him to evade the attack of the Dust Concealment Technique.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Annihilation!"

Madara Uchiha looked at Naraku Uehara, who was hidden in the semi-circular water sphere, and instantly opened his mouth to spew out a huge fireball. After the fireball landed, it turned into flames and completely engulfed Naraku Uehara's water array wall!

The steam gradually began to rise!

A mist gradually formed in the air.

"Wind Release: Typhoon Passes!"

Uehara Naraku waved his hand and summoned a hurricane, instantly dispersing the mist around them. Within this hurricane, a bolt of lightning struck!

"Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang!"

A bolt of lightning shot towards Uehara Naraku's head like a laser beam!

This is a Six Paths Sage Technique that Madara Uchiha automatically acquired after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. This bolt of lightning is exceptionally sharp!

"..."

Uehara Naraku tilted his head.

The bolt of lightning instantly shot through his head and pierced the wings on his back!

"Want to compete with me in magical arts?"

Uehara Naraku suddenly clenched his hands, a slow smile spreading across his face: "Then let me show you true Sage Art..."

Before Uehara Naraku could decide which Sage Technique to use, he saw several illusory shadows slowly emerge from Uchiha Madara's body!

Is this guy still going to use the Limbo Shadow?

Madara Uchiha watched Naraku Uehara's movements from a distance, a glint of light flashing in his Rinnegan: "I didn't want to use this move, it would have seemed too unfair to you, but unfortunately, it's really hard to find a weakness in you..."

Keep coding, keep writing!

As long as I'm awake, the updates will never stop!

Eight chapters still to be added!
