The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Kakashi leaped out, his palms covered in chakra, and gently massaged Sasuke's body several times before releasing the sealed pressure points.

"This doesn't count, let's have another match!"

Uchiha Sasuke leaped to his feet, his face flushed, and challenged him to a duel once more.

The first battle after activating the Sharingan ended in an instant, concluding with defeat. The stark contrast was hard for Uchiha Sasuke to accept. Even though his limbs were still incredibly weak, he activated the Sharingan again, speaking with resentment.

"Sasuke, form the seal for reconciliation!"

Kakashi, standing to the side, shouted sharply, a rare stern look appearing on his face. His Jonin aura surged forth, enveloping Uchiha Sasuke.

As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is clear. Based on Kakashi's experience, it's not hard to tell that Hyuga Sawatatsu had maintained a nonchalant demeanor from beginning to end, and probably hadn't even revealed one-tenth of his strength.

Sasuke's awakening of the Sharingan was already an unexpected bonus. Continuing the fight would only severely damage Sasuke's confidence and be extremely detrimental to his future growth.

"Haven't you realized the difference in strength between us? Let alone a newly awakened single-tomoe Sharingan, even if it were a Jonin like Kakashi with a three-tomoe Sharingan, the outcome of the battle would be the same. Unless you can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan like Itachi Uchiha, no matter how many times we fight, the result will be the same."

As Uchiha Sasuke approached with a reluctant expression, Hyuga Zechen smiled wryly and spoke.

"Kaleidoscope, what's that?"

Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's name again, Sasuke was initially furious, but then he was drawn to an unfamiliar word.

Recalling how that man displayed those extraordinary Sharingan eyes when he left, Uchiha Sasuke felt as if he had grasped the key.

Chapter 17 Naruto's Ultimate Technique

"Come back and seek revenge when you have eyes like mine!"

When Itachi Uchiha slaughtered all the living members of his clan and left without looking back, the words he left behind, as well as his uniquely shaped Sharingan resembling a windmill, remained an indelible shadow in Sasuke Uchiha's heart.

When the Uchiha clan was massacred, Sasuke was only seven years old, but through his early exposure, he already knew that the Sharingan's maximum power was three tomoe. Furthermore, although Konoha looted most of the clan's assets after the massacre, even a weakened giant is still a giant. Retaining even a tiny fraction of their wealth was an extremely substantial fortune for Sasuke.

In order to awaken the Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha had already gone through a lot of information about his clan, but he never found any description of Itachi Uchiha's extraordinary Sharingan.

When Xiang Zechen spoke today, Uchiha Sasuke felt as if he had found the answer.

What is a kaleidoscope?

Sasuke Uchiha no longer cared about launching another challenge; his eyes gleamed as he eagerly sought to confirm his guess.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is naturally a powerful force that surpasses the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."

Hinata Zechen deliberately showed a slight look of surprise, as if he was surprised that a member of the Uchiha clan did not know this and instead had to ask him, an outsider.

"Haha, you arrogant Sasuke, you lost! It's my turn to personally take action and prove that I am the strongest in Team 7!"

Feeling Hyuga Zechen's gaze, Uchiha Sasuke blushed slightly. Just as he was about to ask a question, Naruto shouted and rushed in front of Hyuga Zechen.

"idiot!"

Naruto's interruption annoyed Sasuke. However, considering this was a secret of the Uchiha clan, it wasn't appropriate to pursue the matter further. So, Sasuke snorted coldly, took a few steps back, and cleared the space.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

After forming the opposing hand seals again, Naruto Uzumaki almost without thinking, he stacked two fingers together and directly used the only ninjutsu he could currently use.

With a soft explosion, the surroundings were surrounded by layers upon layers of shadow clones, at least two hundred in number.

That much chakra is truly enviable...

Hinata Zechen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, veins bulging in his eyes as he activated his Byakugan.

Do you want to find Naruto's real body?

Kakashi, standing to the side, lowered his eyelids slightly, puzzled by Hyuga Zetsu's choice.

Unlike regular clone techniques, Shadow Clone Techniques divide the body's chakra evenly among each shadow clone, making it impossible for even the Byakugan to distinguish which is the original and which is the shadow clone.

Unless, he did it to complement the execution of Soft Fist?

"Let's go!"

Hundreds of Narutos shouted in unison, then leaped up and charged at Hyuga Zechen from all directions, swinging their fists.

"In the face of the strong, numbers have never mattered!"

Facing the surging figures, Hinata Sawatatsu smiled faintly, his right palm slightly bent into a claw, and then he made a gesture of gathering strength.

Bagua - Mountain-Breaking Strike!

As his arm suddenly stretched forward, a dazzling white light burst forth from his palm, like a thick laser beam. It not only turned all the shadow clones along the way into smoke, but also directly struck Naruto's stomach.

While chakra can certainly be divided equally, it's hard to pretend not to see such a large Nine-Tails sealed inside Naruto.

Naruto, who had not yet learned how to communicate with Kurama, naturally could not reconcile with him. Kurama, which had been desperately trying to interfere with Naruto's ninjutsu by overflowing its chakra, was now as conspicuous as a small sun. Even though Naruto was unusually cautious and hid his true body among many shadow clones, it was as if it had been marked with a unique mark under the Byakugan's gaze, and could not be hidden at all.

When Naruto later fought Kaguya Otsutsuki, he clearly received the cooperation of Kurama (the Nine-Tails). He used the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode to conceal his true form and then distributed Kurama's chakra evenly among his shadow clones, which prevented Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had almost zero combat experience, from identifying the location of his true body.

"It hurts!"

Even though Hyuga Zechen had already withdrawn most of his power, the Mountain-Shattering Strike still severely injured Naruto Uzumaki, who rolled on the ground clutching his stomach as countless shadow clones vanished instantly.

They actually saw through the true form?

Kakashi's eyes showed surprise.

"Again!"

Thanks to the Uzumaki clan's powerful physique, Naruto's pain came and went quickly. Despite the marks left by the heavy blow still visible on his orange jacket, Naruto stood up straight as if nothing had happened, still full of fighting spirit.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Undeterred, Naruto resorted to his old tricks again, unleashing numerous Shadow Clone Techniques. Under the cover of these shadow clones, he even used the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as a kunai, which was then placed into the ninja tool pouch on his right leg by a nearby shadow clone. He then blended into the numerous shadow clones, constantly changing his position in an attempt to slip through their defenses.

"No matter how many times it happens, the result will be the same."

It was the same Mountain-Shattering Strike, hitting the moving shadow clone with incredible precision, instantly knocking Naruto back to his original form. Naruto tumbled twice in mid-air before crashing to the ground, creating a shallow crater.

Pooh!

Naruto Uzumaki, his mouth full of dirt and grass, leaped up, spat out the contents, and ran to Hyuga Zechen's side without even brushing off the dust. He looked at Hyuga Zechen curiously and asked.

"Even Kakashi-sensei couldn't recognize my true form, how did you manage to do that?"

Hinata Zechen smiled faintly and shook his head.

"I believe that Jonin Kakashi will not allow me to reveal the answer."

Could it be...?

When Kakashi saw Hyuga Zechen looking over, he was initially confused.

I'd like to know the answer too, okay?

Kakashi's pupils contracted immediately as he thought of Naruto's identity and the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him.

"Naruto, a loss is a loss. Form the reconciliation seal."

Neither Naruto's background nor the existence of the tailed beasts was suitable to be revealed at this moment, so Kakashi directly interrupted Naruto's curiosity.

The Hyuga clan is really too reckless. Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki is an S-class secret of the village. How could they let a thirteen-year-old child know about it?

Or perhaps Hinata Zetsu's Byakugan is special, allowing him to see through the Nine-Tails' seal?

"Looks like I'll have to use my ultimate technique, the one that once defeated the Hokage!"

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto did not follow them. Instead, he leaped up, created distance again, and used the Shadow Clone Technique once more.

However, this time there were only ten shadow clones, lined up in an extremely neat row, while shouting out the names of their so-called ultimate techniques.

"Seduction: The Art of the Harem!"

As the white smoke dissipated, several girls with yellow hair and slender figures, whose vital parts were obscured by the thick white mist, appeared all around.

Hinata Zechen's face twitched twice, but his eyes remained calm and still.

Just kidding. Compared to the temptations of the many teachers in the F drive, Naruto's harem technique obviously still has a lot of room for improvement.

On the contrary, Kakashi next to him, even through his mask, could still be seen with a little bit of bright red blood seeping out.

No wonder I love watching "Make-Out Paradise" so much!

Chapter 18 Backstab

The night was deep, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

No, brother!

In his dream, Sasuke Uchiha cried out incessantly, but could not change the fact that Itachi Uchiha, his hands covered in blood, walked out of his familiar home, with his parents lying in a pool of blood behind him.

"Hate me! Hate me, you foolish brother!"

As he watched his once incredibly kind Uchiha Itachi approach step by step like a demon, Uchiha Sasuke awoke from his dream in extreme fear, sitting up abruptly and feeling his clothes and bedding soaked with sweat.

I had another nightmare...

Sasuke Uchiha let the sweat drip down his forehead, covering his face with his hands to hide his pain.

The same dream had repeated itself countless times, haunting him like a shadow, but no matter how many times it happened, Sasuke's inner pain never lessened in the slightest.

I must gain even greater power to take revenge on that man!

Recalling what he had learned from Hyuga Sawatatsu during the day about the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was even stronger than the three-tomoe Sharingan, Sasuke turned his head and looked in the other direction.

Naruto, wearing an adorable sleeping cap, was fast asleep, sprawled out in a starfish position. His thin blanket had been kicked off to the side, while the floor mat at the far end of the mat was empty.

Where did Hinata Sawatatsu go?

Uchiha Sasuke jumped up, pushed open the door, and went out, intending to find Hyuga Zetsu and learn more about the Mangekyou Sharingan from him.

-----------------

Inside a strangely shaped building with an extremely unusual design, the lights were on.

"Lord Zabuza has recovered a lot."

Seeing Zabuza casually crush an apple, Haku, who had reverted to his Kirigakure ANBU attire, showed a look of delight on his face.

Zabuza was hit head-on by Kakashi's copied Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which severely injured his body. With the help of the medicine prepared by Haku and his own physical condition, he finally recovered his fighting ability by the time the bridge was completed.

"Very good, although it's still a little short, it's enough. We'll make our move tomorrow and make sure to complete the mission."

Zabuza opened his palm, letting the fruit pulp and juice drip from his palm onto the ground.
