Chapter 104 Eric's Mangekyou Sharingan
Chapter 104 Eric's Mangekyou Sharingan
Everything happened too fast. Even though Kakashi and Jiraiya had been keeping a close eye on Sasuke's movements, they still couldn't have imagined that Sasuke would act so swiftly and decisively.
Even more unexpectedly, Sasuke was able to break through the seal on his body! Had he been pretending all this time?!
"Naruto! Sakura!"
Jiraiya and Kakashi rushed forward quickly, one attacking Sasuke and the other rescuing Naruto and Sakura.
Dodging Jiraiya's attack, Sasuke retreated and did not attack Naruto and Sakura again.
After all, Lord Zeref gave the order that the people of Konoha must not be harmed.
Restrained by Zeref, who no longer allows himself to wallow in darkness, Eli truly understands what a sweet burden is.
Thinking of those like him in Aslandri who had been abandoned by Zeref, Eric managed to suppress his restless heart.
Kakashi anxiously checked Sakura and Naruto's injuries. He saw that Sakura and Naruto's abdomens had been pierced by an unknown sharp weapon, and blood was flowing out continuously. Their injuries looked very serious.
But after Kakashi checked them nervously, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although Sakura and Naruto's wounds were deep, fortunately, they had not hit any vital organs.
Thinking of Sakura's recent progress in medical ninjutsu training, Kakashi quickly shouted to Sakura, "Quickly stop the bleeding for yourself and Naruto, Sakura, Sakura!"
After shouting twice, Sakura, who seemed to have suffered a severe shock, finally came to her senses. With trembling hands, she performed a simple hemostasis on herself and, ignoring her own injuries, began to treat Naruto, who was also injured.
As Sakura treated Naruto, tears streamed continuously from her eyes.
Sasuke's actions completely shattered her beautiful expectations of the past few days.
Sasuke... he actually wants to kill her and Naruto...
Feeling Sakura's tears fall onto the back of his hand, Naruto trembled and finally snapped out of his daze at the fact that Sasuke was going to kill him.
In an instant, sadness, anger, confusion, and disbelief that Sasuke had attacked his comrade all surged into Naruto's heart.
Under intense emotions, Kurama's chakra surged within him once more, and the wounds that Sakura was healing were visibly healing at an extremely rapid pace.
The next moment, Naruto ignored Sakura and Kakashi's attempts to stop him and rushed straight towards Sasuke.
"Sasuke!!!"
Naruto's furious and bewildered roar echoed across the sky.
While Sakura was receiving treatment, Sasuke was already surrounded by Jiraiya and the Anbu and Root members who were monitoring the situation.
The Root member spoke coldly, "Uchiha Sasuke! You've done something to harm Konoha again! You're a truly evil rogue ninja. This time, even the Hokage can't protect you!"
Then, he turned to Jiraiya and said, "Lord Jiraiya! It has been proven that Uchiha Sasuke has committed numerous crimes. After today, Uchiha Sasuke must be handed over to Root for interrogation and custody!"
Jiraiya frowned but did not respond for the time being. This matter should be left to Tsunade to decide. The priority now was to subdue Sasuke.
Jiraiya looked back and, after confirming that Naruto and Sakura were unharmed, looked at Sasuke with disappointment and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you have been completely corrupted by Orochimaru, Sasuke, to use such a heavy hand on your comrade."
These ninjas are so annoying, they keep calling out Orochimaru, Orochimaru!
Sasuke, or rather, Ellie, scoffed contemptuously.
Although he was impersonating Sasuke at this moment, Eri couldn't help but speak from the bottom of his heart: "What is Orochimaru? I, Uchiha Sasuke, will only obey Lord Zeref's orders!"
Jelf?
Jiraiya frowned and questioned, "Did Zeref send you back to Konoha? What exactly does he want?"
Since Sasuke suddenly turned against Naruto and Sakura, it proves that the explanations Sasuke gave before were probably all lies.
However, Jiraiya couldn't understand why Sasuke would attack so openly.
It's important to understand that if there were any conspiracy or a desire to inflict heavy damage on Konoha, the longer Sasuke remained silent and obedient in Konoha, the greater the damage he would cause.
Such reckless behavior makes it seem like they just want to escalate the situation.
Jiraiya felt something was very strange. His years of ninja intuition told him that there must be some hidden story behind this.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the priority now is to take down Sasuke.
Jiraiya made a decision in an instant. After ordering an ANBU member to report what happened at the scene to Tsunade, he prepared to get serious. But the next moment, he saw Naruto roaring and rushing out from behind him, heading towards Sasuke.
"Naruto!"
Seeing Naruto surrounded by the Nine-Tails' chakra, Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he turned around and saw the mini Nine-Tails standing properly behind him.
As long as it doesn't get out of control, that's fine.
Then they wanted to take down Naruto.
Since Sasuke has the courage to return to Konoha alone, he must have some kind of support or means. Naruto is being too impulsive!
At this moment, Naruto was no longer able to think about anything. He looked at Sasuke, who was standing there indifferently, his face, which was now covered with darker beard, was filled with anger.
As Naruto's emotions erupted, even though it was only a small portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra within him, his aura was astonishing.
Naruto, shrouded in an orange chakra cloak, charged angrily toward Sasuke.
Looking at Naruto, who now seemed to have turned into a wild beast, Eli's eyes lit up. Is this the power of the Tailed Beasts in this world?
Eli swung his sword at Naruto, but the blade was snapped in two by the enraged Naruto. The broken blade spun in the air for a moment before embedding itself in the ground.
Ellie looked at the broken sword in her hand, smiled with amusement, and casually tossed it aside.
The sword in his hand couldn't possibly be the Kusanagi sword that Orochimaru gave to Sasuke, and besides, he wasn't actually very good at using swords.
With sharp claws, why would they need to use a sword like humans?
Eric looked at Naruto with a mixture of curiosity and regret. What a pity...
I can't fight this beast's power with my own true abilities...
The next moment, to the astonishment of everyone in Konoha, a purple giant made entirely of chakra suddenly rose from the ground and with a wave of his hand sent Naruto, who was closest to him, flying.
Kakashi stared in shock at the purple giant in front of him, which only had an upper body. Although it was not as big as Madara Uchiha's Susanoo that he had seen before, it was undoubtedly the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan!
After the dust stirred up by Susanoo dissipated, the six-pointed star shape in Eli's eyes became clearly visible.
It's... the Mangekyou Sharingan?!
Everyone present who recognized those eyes changed their expressions drastically.
