Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 495 The Battle of the Ninjas! (Third Update!)

No one on the entire ocean has ever witnessed a true ninja battle.

The white-bearded man sat down in a chair with an air of authority, holding a bowl of juice in his hand, and looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto on the sea with a smile on his face.

"Gurarararar... What an interesting little brat!"

After tilting his head back and finishing the juice in his bowl in one gulp, Whitebeard asked with a smile, "Is this the first time we've had the chance to see Sasuke go all out?"

"Um…"

Ace stood next to Whitebeard, chuckling and nodding, "Hahaha, actually, this is the first time I've seen Sasuke so serious!"

"Gurarararara... Of course I have to get serious!"

The white-bearded man laughed and shook his head, then a serious look flashed in his eyes: "Because his opponent... is anything but simple!"

Whitebeard's gaze was fixed on Naruto Uzumaki. Hidden within that blond brat was a power that even he dared not underestimate!

On one side of the Beasts Pirates.

Kaido glanced down at Uchiha Sasuke and snorted coldly.

This Yonko, who had once been defeated by Sasuke Uchiha, sat cross-legged on the deck with ease, grabbing his sake gourd and frantically chugging sake!

Under the watchful eyes of two members of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki remained calm, gazing at each other.

Let's begin!

Sasuke Uchiha coldly raised his finger.

After a moment of surprise, Naruto's face gradually became serious, and he slowly raised his fingers as if it were a ritual!

This is the seal of opposition!

At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to the ninja academy, earnestly forming the opposing hand seals they had used during ninja battle practice!

The opposing seals symbolize that they are about to begin their battle!

next moment…

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto simultaneously stepped on the sea surface and rushed towards each other at high speed, their domineering auras surging and erupting at the same time!

Bang!

Their arms suddenly collided!

The aura of chakra and the power of Conqueror's Haki surged into the sky with their movements!

The collision of the two forces instantly stirred up a storm, and the sky was torn in two by the overwhelming force!

A massive shockwave rapidly spread outwards!

The three pirate ships were almost capsized in an instant, but fortunately, the two Yonko, Whitebeard and Kaido, were present and stepped in to maintain the ships!

"Are you kidding me..."

Diamond Jozu, the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, steadied himself and stared in astonishment at the two figures on the sea: "That guy named Naruto Uzumaki... he actually has Conqueror's Haki?"

"Um."

Ace nodded; he also possessed Conqueror's Haki, and his expression gradually became serious: "And he can actually contend with Sasuke's Haki..."

Diamond Jozu nodded, then couldn't help but continue, "What's even more surprising is that his power is comparable to Sasuke's... Sasuke's power is about the same as mine!"

"Jozu, Sasuke's power is actually greater than yours."

Marco shook his head, watching the battle on the sea, and muttered, "But that guy's strength is greater than Sasuke's... it's just that Sasuke's fighting skills are better..."

as predicted!

After exchanging a blow with Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha quickly began a taijutsu exchange of punches and kicks, while maintaining their normal forms!

Even in their normal form, their fighting power is astonishing enough; the waves are almost constantly being stirred up by their battle!

Two ninjas who grew up together...

On this vast sea, at this moment, a grand feast of physical skills was presented!

No, this is not a feast, it's just their appetizer!

"Naruto, you've deliberately trained your taijutsu..."

A red light flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan. After blocking Naruto Uzumaki's fist with his palm, Armament Haki instantly covered him. He lunged forward and punched Naruto Uzumaki away!

Sasuke Uchiha stared coldly at Naruto Uzumaki, a hint of arrogance flashing across his face: "But... that's useless! With the help of the Sharingan, my Observation Haki can instantly detect your attack!"

"Sasuke, but my fists are even stronger!"

Naruto Uzumaki didn't care about the punch he took. A smile flashed across his face, and without any hesitation, he charged towards Sasuke Uchiha again!

"It's more troublesome than before..."

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, dodging Naruto Uzumaki's repeated attacks. He finally realized the importance of chakra!

Even though Naruto arrived a little late, because of his chakra, the boost he received in this world was actually greater than what Naruto himself received!

"I've been trying so hard to catch up with you!"

Naruto Uzumaki's hand suddenly grabbed towards Sasuke Uchiha!

Sasuke Uchiha stepped onto the sea surface, leaping away from Naruto's attack, and quickly clasped his hands together: "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

One after another, fireballs shot out of his mouth!

Naruto Uzumaki immediately dodged, but could only face wave after wave of fire-style ninjutsu. After dodging the Phoenix Flower, a huge fireball crashed down!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Huh? Isn't this a waste of chakra?"

Naruto Uzumaki frowned in surprise. Suddenly, a ball of jet-black Armament Haki condensed on his fist, and he slammed his fist into the fireball!

According to their strength…

Even if the Great Fireball Technique is powerful, it will inevitably run out of power. A single punch with Armament Haki is enough to shatter it!

A rain of fire scattered across the sea!

Just as Naruto Uzumaki raised his head in confusion, he saw Sasuke Uchiha's body turn into a ball of flame!

At the same time, a ball of fire that had fallen behind him suddenly disappeared!

"Heavenly Hand Power..."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately realized that Sasuke Uchiha had used Amenotejikara to directly switch positions, and the next moment he felt a sharp pain on his face!

Sasuke Uchiha punched Naruto Uzumaki in the face, sending him flying, before leaping after him!

Naruto glanced at Sasuke's charging figure, instantly donned a golden chakra cloak, and entered Kurama Mode!

A giant golden chakra hand emerged from his body and slammed into Sasuke, sending him crashing into the sea!

"What a pity..."

Thatch, the 4th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, shook his head and sighed, "Sasuke originally had a chance to severely injure the enemy..."

"Haha, don't worry..."

Vista, the Flower Swordsman, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Don't forget, Sasuke is a great swordsman! A great swordsman that even I wouldn't dare to underestimate..."

"Hey, Vista, that's going too far!"

Marco couldn't help but lift his eyelids slightly and mutter, "I really don't know where he gets his confidence from. Sasuke's swordsmanship is the strongest besides his father's, isn't it..."

The next moment, the blade flashed!

A powerful slash shot out from underwater!

This slash instantly sliced ​​through the sea and shot into the sky!

Such a powerful strike can be made simply by swinging the sword from underwater!

Naruto narrowly avoided the slash, and he finally realized that his teammates had also found a way to become stronger!

Great Swordsman!

Without a doubt...

Uchiha Sasuke's swordsmanship has also received a significant boost in this world!

In fact, the sword Sasuke Uchiha wields is one of the twelve strongest Supreme Grade Swords in the world!

A look of surprise flashed across Naruto's face as he couldn't help but stare at Sasuke Uchiha, who had risen from the sea to stand on the surface again: "Sasuke, do you want me to be cut in half?"

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, brandishing his sword as he charged forward: "How could you possibly die so easily... Besides..."

Besides, even if he were dead...

That guy Uehara Naraku could probably revive you too!

Sasuke Uchiha held back, unleashing a barrage of slashes at Naruto Uzumaki!

Vista, watching Sasuke's slash, couldn't help but remark, "It feels like Sasuke could challenge Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Gurala la la la..."

The white-bearded man shook his head and laughed loudly, "If it's just swordsmanship, that brat Hawkeye won't be defeated so easily..."

He wants to become the world's greatest swordsman...

Unless Sasuke Uchiha uses Susanoo to cheat!

However, not just anyone can withstand Sasuke Uchiha's slashes now!

However, Naruto Uzumaki paid no attention. A dozen golden chakra giant hands suddenly emerged, and a jet-black aura spread out from the inside of the giant hands!

These giant hands were all formed from Armament Haki!

The next moment, these giant hands, interspersed with black and gold, directly grabbed Sasuke's slashes and crushed them!

This scene made everyone's eyes widen involuntarily!

A hint of surprise flashed through Sasuke's mind. Even he was somewhat amazed by the world's love for Naruto Uzumaki!

"This is the ocean..."

After shaking his head, Sasuke Uchiha vanished from his spot in an instant, having used Amenotejikara once again!

The target of this position swap by Amaterasu...

It's the seawater beneath Naruto Uzumaki!

Sasuke Uchiha appeared beside Naruto Uzumaki, and a spear made of jet-black flames suddenly emerged from his body, with Armament Haki instantly spreading across the flames!

The black flames, enhanced by Armament Haki, appeared to glow somewhat!

A long spear pierced through Naruto Uzumaki's body in an instant!

The next second, Naruto Uzumaki's body turned into a cloud of smoke!

"Shadow clones?"

Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed.

No matter how much time has passed, what he hates most is Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clone Technique. This idiot has been playing with the technique to an extreme degree ever since he learned it!

"I caught you..."

Naruto's voice suddenly came from underwater, and an arm grabbed Sasuke's calf, about to drown him!

Unfortunately, Sasuke Uchiha swung his sword and slashed into the sea, forcing Naruto Uzumaki to abandon his attack!

The two exchanged blows and defenses, and once again found themselves standing on the sea...

The appetizers for just two people were enough to amaze the members of two Yonko pirate crews!

Their combat skills and the little tricks they used in battle were beyond their comprehension!

The members of both the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates realized that these two not only possessed strength, but also had more refined fighting skills than they did!

"Hahahaha..."

Vista the Flower Sword didn't seem to care at all, and continued with a smile, "But speaking of which, why didn't Sasuke use Susanoo? It feels like it would have ended the battle much faster..."

"Gurarararar... Of course it can't be used!"

The white-bearded man chuckled and shook his head, speaking up in Sasuke's defense: "This battle has only just begun! They'll definitely take a long time... and... that brat Naruto also possesses a corresponding power within him..."

A surge...

A power that would make even a white-bearded man marvel!

Third update!
