AI Model: gemini-3.0-flashChapter 213: I am Your Older Brother
Sasuke looked around with his Mangekyo Sharingan active.
His internal curiosity didn't show on his face.
But it was merely curiosity.
In his view, external objects were just external objects after all.
To forge iron, one needs to be strong themselves.
Only one's own strength truly belongs to them.
This sky city looked very imposing, but he was certain it wasn't of much use to him.
Confidence stemming from being an Uchiha.
"Who are you going to use it against?"
Sasuke looked away and said, "With such a massive body, its speed shouldn't be very fast. Trying to deal with truly top-tier Ninjas would be in vain."
"Indeed."
Naruto nodded, agreeing with his analysis.
The biggest flaw of the sky city was its clumsiness.
But what if the enemy to be dealt with couldn't run?
Within a certain distance, it could cover the area with firepower.
Even Space-Time Ninjutsu would find it unavoidable.
Unless they ran extremely far away.
"The Akatsuki Organization will appear at the Hidden Sand Village in two days."
Naruto said pensively.
Sasuke knowing this news, it was definitely impossible for him to miss it.
Even if it wasn't Uchiha Itachi coming, he would definitely go.
However, Naruto still chose not to hide it.
Because he remembered a Ninjutsu of the Rinnegan, the Shapeshifting Technique.
By attaching the Chakra of an Akatsuki Organization member to a living sacrifice, one could obtain a clone with abilities identical to the original body.
Including the ability to use Bloodline Limits.
The price paid was only being able to withstand about 30% of the original's Chakra, and the sacrifice would die once it was exhausted.
But the members of the Akatsuki Organizationwere all top-tier experts in the Ninja World.
30% Chakra was still higher than most Jonin; combined with their amazing abilities and battle awareness, it was equally troublesome.
In the original work, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki used this technique to delay the rescue efforts of Konoha Village and the Hidden Sand Village.
If personnel from the Tianming Organizationappeared, Nagato would surely send more members.
When time was of the essence, the Shapeshifting Technique was the best solution.
So, let Sasuke meet his older brother.
His Susanoo had yet to be activated.
Perhaps what he lacked was just this bit of stimulation.
"Who is it?"
Sasuke's expression turned cold, and his emotions showed a noticeable change.
"It's not Uchiha Itachi, but maybe."
Naruto smiled and said, "If they encounter us, perhaps Uchiha Itachi will show up."
"Take me there."
Sasuke said immediately.
"Alright."
Naruto drew the enma sword, thought for a moment, and said, "Add a vision-blocking barrier to the outside of the sky city."
Sasuke's temperament had also improved quite a bit over the years.
Although he was a bit excited, he could still keep it under control.
He created three Shadow Clones and ran to the east, south, west, and north of the sky city.
Generally speaking, barriers were performed by multiple people together.
Fortunately, a vision-blocking barrier didn't require too much Chakra.
Naruto closed his eyes.
The desert map outside the Hidden Sand Villagequickly flashed through his mind.
A few seconds later, he swung his sword.
Accompanied by blue light scattering outwards, a huge spatial tunnel opened.
Almost half of his Chakra vanished in an instant.
Naruto stepped in first, and the sky city followed closely behind.
"Sasuke, you stay behind and leave suggestions for the residents you control so they don't notice anything unusual."
His voice gradually faded away.
Upon arriving above the desert, Naruto activated his Kagura Minds Eye to ensure there were no living people around, only then did he feel relieved.
This place was not too far from the Hidden Sand Village.
Moreover, he had the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he didn't need to worry about not making it in time.
After leaving a Shadow Clone, Naruto returned to Wudi City.
Yamato was frantically performing Wood Release.
One wooden building after another rose up.
In his past life, Naruto thought it was quite ridiculous.
That there was actually a Ninjutsu for constructing houses instantly.
And they weren't ordinary wooden huts, but exquisite mansions similar to small villas.
One could only say that Chakra was omnipotent.
Under Yamato's hard work, the destroyed buildings were restored one by one.
His originally ruddy and healthy complexion became very pale.
Naruto stroked his chin.
This won't do.
He would definitely notice something was wrong tomorrow morning.
In that case, let's set up a beautiful dream for him.
A night of happily playing with a hundred big sisters.
Well, this really is a hundred times over.
Yamato, you can do it.
Naruto sent him back.
The next day, when Yamato woke up, he felt like his whole body didn't belong to him.
Especially his kidneys, which had lost all sensation.
He lay on the bed, thinking of yesterday's dream, and couldn't help but blush.
"I really am too amazing!"
At the same time, Deidara and Tobi teamed up to head towards the Hidden Sand Village.
Naruto estimated their speed.
He didn't intend to wait for the Hidden Sand Village to ask for help before going.
Doing so might put the Konoha Ninjas in danger.
Besides, there was also the risk of exposing himself.
If it were Neji and Hinata, they could naturally see through his identity with their Byakugan and familiarity.
When evening came, Naruto Pulling SasukeArrived in the desert.
"Go up first."
Naruto performed a Ninjutsu, lifting the sky city to an extremely high altitude.
He leaped onto it with a single bound.
Because it was so high, even breathing became somewhat difficult.
Fortunately, Ninjas were different from ordinary people, so the impact wasn't great.
The wind whistled.
Naruto stood at the bow and opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.
The previously unclear ground suddenly became very distinct.
Although using Dōjutsu too much would lead to declining vision, it was quite useful before going blind.
Sasuke subconsciously looked at him and was suddenly stunned.
"You... when did you...?"
He had no idea Naruto had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
At this moment, his first thought was actually, could it be that five hundred years ago, we were from the same family? With the same bloodline?
Otherwise, it was hard for him to believe that just the Dōjutsu Power he gave Naruto could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Oh, that happened not long ago."
Naruto remembered he had never used it in front of him.
Although he hadn't intended to hide it.
"..."
Sasuke didn't know what to say for a moment.
His feelings were complicated.
Kakashi had a Sharingan, but that wasn't his eye to begin with.
But Naruto's eyes were his own.
In other words, he was the first non-Uchiha clan member to awaken the Sharingan.
"What's going on?"
Sasuke couldn't help but ask, "I can understand you awakening the Sharingan, but how could you awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
He had also learned a lot of knowledge while staying with Orochimaru.
He had experienced firsthand the difficulty of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"This involves a long-forgotten story."
Since there was nothing to do, Naruto told him the story of Ashura and Indra.
After Sasuke finished listening, he could no longer maintain his cold expression.
He hadn't expected that five hundred years ago, they really were family.
And even the sons of the Six Paths Sage.
He felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.
"But you don't need to overthink it; we're just reincarnations of their Chakra, not their souls."
Naruto comforted him.
Although Chakra indeed had an influence, it was still acceptable.
And even if it were a soul reincarnation, each life is separate, and one is their own master.
Sasuke was silent for a long while before nodding, then suddenly asked, "So, I am your older brother?"
Thanks to the three big bosses, Shuowei, Name All Taken, and Fulu Xiao Jingang, for their tips.
