Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 582: A Battle That Almost Collapsed

Such a scene has never been seen on the high seas before.

A group of influential figures from the pinnacle of the world gathered here. Whether they were at the top of the pirate world or at the top of the Navy and Revolutionary Army, they all stood on the same side.

Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard.

Fleet Admiral, the Buddha of Sengoku.

Navy hero, Iron Fist Garp.

Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates.

And the world's most vicious criminal, Monkey D. Dragon, who has just arrived at their side.

Each of these names is incredibly famous; many people practically grew up hearing their names and even idolize them.

However, these people now have only one enemy to face!

The leader of Akatsuki...

The most terrifying man they had ever seen in their lives!

Sasuke Uchiha released his hand from his lower abdomen, slowly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Uehara Naraku in his God Mode and said in a deep voice, "Be careful... In this state, I've never seen anyone defeat Uehara Naraku, not even a god!"

Even the arrogant Uchiha Madara suffered greatly at the hands of Uehara Naraku in his God Mode, and was even defeated by Uehara Naraku with a single punch!

Even without Sasuke Uchiha's instructions, everyone present was well aware of Naraku Uehara's power; his Conqueror's Haki alone was enough to overwhelm everyone present!

Just as everyone was on high alert, Uehara Naraku disappeared from their sight again, and everyone had to unleash their full Observation Haki!

"Dragon Claw Fist!"

Monkey D. Dragon suddenly stretched out his hand, which transformed into a jet-black claw, and tightly gripped an incoming fist!

This moment was truly a matter of utmost urgency!

Even Dragon was somewhat surprised!

Following his instincts, Dragon suddenly parried Uehara Naraku's attack. However, what was terrifying was that just by taking that punch, Dragon's wrist was completely split open, and a cracking sound came from his palm!

That's the sound of a hand bone cracking!

"You can't even withstand half the force?"

Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head, then suddenly pulled back his fist and delivered a powerful side kick, sending Dragon flying!

As Uehara Naraku flew towards Dragon's body, he instantly extended his palm and delivered his final blow!

"Armament Haki - Release!"

"Too fast..."

Dragon's face twitched, and his body instantly became covered in Armament Haki as he attempted to protect himself with it: "Armor Cover!"

However, Uehara Naraku's domineering aura was even more powerful!

A powerful shockwave of Armament Haki swept over Dragon's body, directly shattering the Armament Haki barrier on Dragon's body and striking him!

The revolutionary leader crashed into the rubble and never rose again, leaving everyone wondering whether he was dead or alive…

No one expected that Uehara Naraku would defeat this top man of the Revolutionary Army with just three moves!

They had only exchanged blows for a few seconds...

Monkey D. Dragon has already been defeated!

This scene unfolded so astonishingly that no one present even had time to react before Dragon was already defeated by Uehara Naraku…

Garp's expression suddenly changed.

As a veteran of the Navy, although Garp never interfered with what Dragon did, he didn't have much interaction with his son. At this moment, Garp rushed towards Dragon's direction!

Garp only breathed a sigh of relief after he dug through the rubble…

Although Monkey D. Dragon was covered in blood, making it impossible to determine the extent of his injuries, it appeared that he had simply passed out from the shock...

"Don't worry."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naraku Uehara warily and said in a deep voice, "He won't easily kill those who are useful to him; dying in his presence is a luxury..."

At this point, Sasuke Uchiha added, "Don't think this is a good thing... because under his control, people will only suffer a fate worse than death... Even if we die here, he has plenty of ways to manipulate our souls!"

This is based on Sasuke Uchiha's experience...

Uehara Naraku possesses the power to reincarnate people, so even those who want to commit suicide must consider Uehara Naraku's attitude. Even if someone truly dies, Uehara Naraku has a way to bring them back to life using the Impure World Reincarnation technique...

The leader of the Akatsuki organization…

No one has a chance of escaping!

Unless they can defeat Uehara Naraku or completely seal him away!

As for killing Uehara Naraku, Sasuke Uchiha himself hadn't even considered it, because in his mind, Uehara Naraku had ways to avoid death...

Even if Uehara Naraku really died... perhaps his soul would also attain immortality in another sense, just like his previous incarnation, the Sage of Six Paths!

Uehara Naraku shook his head slightly and sighed, "Sasuke, in your eyes, am I really that kind of person?"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent for a second.

The next moment, a bead of cold sweat dripped from Sasuke's forehead. His voice lowered, and he said in a deep voice, "If you can still be called human..."

That's a statement...

Uchiha Sasuke had wanted to say this for a long time!

When Uehara Naraku asked that question, didn't he ever think about how many inhuman things he had done?

But as soon as Uchiha Sasuke said those words, Uehara Naraku disappeared from everyone's sight again, his figure as elusive as a ghost!

Even if Uehara's Observation Haki sensed his movements...

Those present also felt that they might have a hard time keeping up with his speed!

"That move... is shaving!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Garp's eyes. His figure vanished from Dragon's side in an instant, returning to the battlefield: "Sengoku...Uehara is using the Navy's Six Powers!"

only…

Uehara Naraku is exceptionally skilled in the Navy's Six Powers!

Compared to others who tread on the ground, Uehara Naraku has combined Moonwalk and Shave, and he can actually step on the air and disappear instantly!

Do not…

It should be said that...

Is it that he's so fast he can step on the air... or should we say that the air, under his control, is like a solid ground?

"It's Sasuke, kid..."

Whitebeard Edward Newgate immediately sensed Uehara Naraku's attack, this time targeting Uchiha Sasuke!

Whitebeard clenched his fist and slammed it towards the location he sensed. His fist glowed with a white light as he tried to stop Uehara Naraku's attack!

I have to say…

The power of Whitebeard's fist is considerable!

Especially since Whitebeard even used his Devil Fruit power!

That was the most powerful fruit in the world, the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit. This attack, imbued with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, slammed directly into Uehara Naraku!

Uehara Naraku, who had rushed to Sasuke Uchiha's side, was forced back half a step by the impact of Whitebeard's punch, which dissipated the vibrational power from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Uehara Naraku's brows furrowed slightly. His recovery speed in Godhood Mode was rapidly healing the injuries he had just sustained. However, he couldn't help glancing at the white-bearded man…

They are not to be underestimated!

No wonder he has the reputation of being the world's strongest man...

Compared to Uehara Naraku's surprise, Whitebeard couldn't help but grin: "What a terrifying brat!"

after all…

Not everyone can take that punch so easily!

Even an ordinary vice admiral would be killed by his punch. Even Garp and Sengoku dared not ignore Whitebeard's fist!

However, when Uehara Naraku received the punch, he only took half a step back, without showing any unusual reaction, appearing as if he were completely unharmed...

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression showed a slight surprise.

Clearly, Sasuke Uchiha was more aware of Whitebeard's situation than anyone else. Even he hadn't expected that Naraku Uehara would be repelled by Whitebeard, even if he was only pushed back half a step!

However, Sasuke Uchiha would not miss such a good opportunity!

A red light flashed in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes as he swung his Kusanagi sword and slashed at Uehara Naraku, intending to use this Supreme Grade Sword to severely injure him!

"Um?"

Uehara Naraku raised an eyebrow, suddenly stretched out his fingers, pinched the Kusanagi sword, and kicked Uchiha Sasuke in the stomach!

"Susanoo!"

Suddenly, the skeleton of Susanoo appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's body. The first form of Susanoo was created instantly, with the sole purpose of blocking Uehara Naraku's flying kick!

The purple Susanoo skeleton was kicked to pieces!

Fortunately, this gave Sasuke enough time. He quickly retreated and broke free from his entanglement with Uehara Naraku!

"trouble…"

Sasuke Uchiha frowned deeply. He glanced around at the people and said in a deep voice, "We absolutely cannot let any of Uehara Naraku's attacks land on us, otherwise we might lose our fighting ability..."

"Uchiha Sasuke..."

The Buddha Sengoku gave Uchiha Sasuke a strange look and asked softly, "Didn't he punch you before we started fighting?"

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, his power wasn't strong at that time. It was just a test, a test to find the limits of our bodies..."

Even if it's just a test...

However, it also seriously injured Sasuke Uchiha!

Just a moment ago, Uchiha Sasuke felt a long-lost terror, the immense power that had shattered Susanoo in one blow, the power that was gathering strength in Uehara Naraku's hands!

"Gurala la la la..."

The white-bearded man laughed heartily and finally reached out to unfasten his robe, slowly arching his back: "Then let me give it a try!"

Try it…

Give it your all…

Can I defeat Uehara Naraku in front of me?

Second update!

It took a long time to revise...
