“Hmm, just by relying on the Chakra sensing ability from my memories, I can so easily recognize Hyakuzu, whose form has already changed somewhat. The original story didn't show this. Is this the ability Ashura gave to Naruto?” Uchiha Tenxiu mused to himself, his gaze fixed on the scene before him, a hint of doubt on his face.
He couldn't help but be surprised that Naruto could see through Hyakuzu's disguise so quickly.
After all, in this unfamiliar space-time, everything seemed so confusing.
However.
When his gaze fell on Naruto, he suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had thought of something.
“Ah, so that's it!” Uchiha Tenxiu suddenly understood, a smile playing on his lips. “It seems the Ashura Chakra hidden within Naruto is at work! It appears the sense of crisis in this alternate space-time is making Ashura's Chakra actively protect Naruto, hoping he can quickly resolve Hyakuzu, who is causing the space-time fluctuations, and allow his current host, Uzumaki Naruto, to return to his original world as soon as possible!”
However, just as Uchiha Tenxiu was secretly sighing, a feeling of regret suddenly welled up in his heart, along with some intriguing thoughts that made him eager to act.
“What a pity!” he sighed softly, as if feeling helpless about something. “With my arrival, this timeline seems to have been suppressed by my heavenly dimension fragment.”
“Even if Uzumaki Naruto defeats Hyakuzu, it's simply impossible to connect with the space-time power on Hyakuzu's body and transfer Uzumaki Naruto back to his original world. Even if I let him go, he can only live in this world forever!”
“Not to mention, this is Ashura's power delivered right to my doorstep, perfect for analyzing a portion of Six Paths' power!”
“How could I easily let him go!” Uchiha Tenxiu quickly decided on his fate.
As for whether Uzumaki Naruto was the fated child in the original story, and how his original world would defend against the Ōtsutsuki Clan without his return, what did that have to do with him?
It wasn't his main world.
Let him die.
To the side.
“Hmm, you want to lay a hand on my captive!” Uchiha Chiri's eyes turned cold, and she thought to herself, “This is someone Tenxiu brother wants to keep. How can I allow you, some blond kid from who knows where, to casually kill him?”
At that very moment.
Uchiha Chiri moved like lightning, instantly appearing in front of the fallen Hyakuzu.
Her movements were as swift as the wind, giving no one time to react. Even Uzumaki Naruto, who had already trained in Rasenshuriken, greatly improved his strength, and could fight Kage-level opponents, didn't have time to react, still staring at Hyakuzu on the ground.
“Hmph, what a flawed move!” Uchiha Chiri's lips curled into a disdainful smile. She mercilessly raised her foot and, like a bolt of lightning, fiercely kicked Uzumaki Naruto, who was rushing towards Hyakuzu, close at hand.
Mid-air, Uzumaki Naruto had not anticipated Uchiha Chiri's sudden attack. His eyes widened abruptly, filled with shock and confusion. With a “thud,” Uzumaki Naruto felt a tremendous force violently impact his body, as if his internal organs had been shattered.
“Thud…” A sharp pain struck, and Uzumaki Naruto spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward more than ten meters like a kite with a broken string.
Bang, bang, bang…
After a series of collisions on the ground and a continuous roll, Uzumaki Naruto finally recovered from the anger of the previous battle. He endured the severe pain in his body, struggled to get up from the ground, and shakily regained his footing.
He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Uchiha Chiri in front of him, and Uchiha Tenxiu and the confused Queen of LouLan standing to the side, his heart filled with bewilderment and anger.
“Damn it, you guys, why did you ambush me?” Uzumaki Naruto roared furiously. “I know now, you guys must also be accomplices of this Sand Ninja rogue, Hyakuzu! Damn it, the intel was wrong!”
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Naruto's heart suddenly sank, as if he had suddenly realized something important. At the same time, his expression instantly became serious as he surveyed the people present, secretly lamenting, “Not good, Yamato-senpai, Sakura, and Sai aren't with me, and their strength is so formidable! I didn't even have time to react. This is definitely not something I can handle alone!”
Uzumaki Naruto dared not hesitate for a moment. His mind raced, thinking of a countermeasure. In this critical moment, he dared not hesitate, and quickly formed hand seals, shouting loudly, “Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!”
As his voice fell.
A powerful Chakra surged out from his body. Immediately, in front of Uchiha Chiri, dozens, even hundreds, of Uzumaki Naruto's figures instantly appeared, each Shadow Clone mixed with a large amount of Chakra.
“Hmm! Interesting!” Uchiha Chiri calmly observed all this. Such a large amount of Chakra, and the shouting behavior, basically indicated a descendant of Senju and Uzumaki.
At this moment, these Shadow Clones were identical to the original, densely packed in a line, surrounding Uchiha Chiri. They either held kunai or formed hand seals, preparing to launch Ninjutsu, glaring menacingly at Uchiha Chiri.
Among the crowd, Uzumaki Naruto moved positions normally like the many clones, but his figure gradually moved further back.
“Heh heh, somewhat interesting.” Uchiha Tenxiu saw this, and the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing a playful smile. He was clearly not surprised by Uzumaki Naruto's action, but rather found it somewhat amusing. “Knowing you're not an opponent, are you planning to blend in with the Shadow Clones and seize the opportunity to escape?”
Although Uchiha Tenxiu had some reservations about Uzumaki Naruto's conduct, believing him to be quite brain-dead in many aspects, such as his excessive belief in the fire will, forcefully distorting others' wills and actions, and even doing some absurd things that forced others to think along with him.
But it was undeniable.
From a purely combat perspective, Uzumaki Naruto's quick thinking and tenacious will to fight were indeed outstanding. In this regard, even Uchiha Sasuke, the second male lead in the original plot, couldn't compare to him.
Moreover, in terms of configuration, the Uchiha Clan's innate Kekkei Genkai was still inferior to his Nine-Tailed Chakra! Even with the Mangekyo Sharingan activated, the gap was quite large, unless one surpassed the limit and achieved Eternity.
Of course, no matter how powerful the strength, it also depends on the host's performance.
If the current Uzumaki Naruto were to use the Nine-Tailed Fox's power with three tails or less, he would only be instantly killed by Uchiha Chiri. With four tails, he could only briefly engage in battle. Only by erupting with six tails could he briefly suppress Uchiha Chiri.
As for wanting to defeat Uchiha Chiri, it would require the power of seven tails or more.
For an eight-tailed Jinchuriki, Uchiha Chiri, with her Kage-level strength and Three-Tomoe Sharingan, could only flee!”
“Of course, if Uchiha Chiri were to use her Mangekyo Sharingan against the Nine-Tailed completely released from its seal, it would become easier. Because without the Tailed Beast plus Jinchuriki 1+1 greater than two genjutsu defense power, with the Mangekyo Sharingan's natural counter to Tailed Beasts, it can be controlled with genjutsu!”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought to himself, then glanced at the hundreds of Shadow Clones, Uzumaki Naruto charging towards Uchiha Chiri, and his original body preparing to escape, a playful look on his face.
Does he really think he can escape like this?
Although the Shadow Clone Technique was a Ninjutsu developed by Senju Tobirama specifically to counter the Uchiha Sharingan.
How could someone from the Uchiha Clan like himself not have countermeasures against such Ninjutsu, and specifically research Ninjutsu to see through the original body of the Shadow Clone Technique?
Uchiha Tenxiu sneered inwardly.
As Uchiha Chiri completely adored him, and would also be the closest person to him in the future, Uchiha Tenxiu naturally wouldn't treat her unfairly. The eye-refining method, second only to his own, although not comparable to his supreme secret technique, was also an extremely powerful pupil technique secret method for enhancing the Sharingan.
Coupled with the specially developed “Insight” ability, basically all types of Shadow Clones in the Ninja World were countered by it.
Therefore, when Uchiha Tenxiu instantly saw through the other party's thoughts and actions, Uchiha Chiri naturally wouldn't miss this point either.
