Chapter 13: The Nine-Tails' Acute Perception, An Existence More Terrifying than the Sage of Six Path

Chapter 13: The Nine-Tails' Acute Perception, An Existence More Terrifying than the Sage of Six Paths!

"The Invincible Words of Emperor Senju Tianren? This is the philosophy of truth that you can't afford to miss?

Study it, apply it, and you too can become a man as cool as His Majesty!

There's actually something like this?"

Naruto Uzumaki mumbled as he opened the first page.

"Don't be too stubborn. Though I don't want to kill you, it's difficult to master the power of stepping on ants without killing them.

– Emperor Shenwu to the entire Thunder Hidden Village, Year 40 of Konoha."

"Don't bluff, it will only make your weakness more apparent.

– Emperor Shenwu to Iwa-nin Ono Ki, Year 40 of Konoha."

"No one starts off standing at the top of the heavens, be it you or I, or even the gods. But the unbearable vacancy on the throne of the Ninja World will soon come to an end. From this day forth, I shall stand at the pinnacle! I shall rule over the entire Ninja World, and I shall change everything!"

[...]



"I give you time to catch up! Until you can't even see my back anymore..."

The more Naruto read, the brighter his eyes shone, and finally, he held the book high and exclaimed, "Wow! These words, coupled with those scenes, are truly blood-boiling! This feeling is amazing!"

"Really now..."

Yamato, Sakura, and Sai looked at each other in silence.

These words were too pretentious; they wondered if they were true or not.

Who would say such things while facing an entire village?

"Hmph! You do have some taste after all." Imperial Sasuke's lips curled up, and the look in his eyes toward Naruto softened considerably.

"Hahaha! Of course, I'll give it to you!

You're quite impressive, little Naruto, to appreciate His Majesty's invincible words. Then we're the best of friends!

But to put them into practice, you need powerful strength to back it up. If you're too weak and always on the losing end, then you'll just be waiting for your opponents to use these words on you.

I think that's something all fans of His Majesty can't accept."

Imperial Naruto spoke with feigned solemnity.

"Ah!"

Hearing the mention of strength, Naruto's head immediately started to hurt.

His own strength wasn't bad; he had previously taken down an Akatsuki member who had fought the First Hokage with his Spiral Shuriken.

But everyone here was stronger than the last; he felt so helpless.

Even the powerful Nine-Tails inside him didn't seem to be of much use...

"Big Brother Naruto and Sasuke are indeed very strong.

But that purple giant earlier, was that really the power of the Sharingan?

Why have I never seen it before?"

Sakura Haruno asked curiously.

"That's a power possessed only by the Mangekyo Sharingan, which is above the regular three-tomoe Sharingan.

And the Mangekyo is an eye that only the geniuses of the Uchiha clan possess."

Imperial Minato explained with a smile.

"I see... I wonder if Sasuke from our world possesses such eyes..."

Sakura muttered, thinking of the immense power Sasuke Uchiha had displayed during their encounter. She wondered if he, too, had hidden such eyes.

If he did, could Naruto truly bring Sasuke back to the village?

"Hmph! As expected.

It's one thing that the previous Uzumaki Naruto didn't know about the Mangekyo,

But I never expected all of you to be unaware of the fame of my Uchiha Mangekyo.

It seems that those Uchiha in your world are all good-for-nothings."

Disappointment flashed across Imperial Sasuke's face, and he sneered.

"It's normal not to possess the power of the Mangekyo; it's that powerful!

Yamato grimaced. "What a disaster it would be if those Uchiha had such eyes."

"Sasuke awakened his Mangekyo at the age of ten, you know," Imperial Naruto laughed.

"..."

The Team 7 members from the Warring States era twitched in disbelief.

These people from this world are all freaks and so strong! Awakening the Mangekyo at the age of ten and being able to wield such terrifying power?

Are they even human? There's just no comparison with the people from their world.

On the other hand, Centipede didn't know much about fighting, so he didn't have much of a reaction and just quietly observed, staying under the radar.

"That's amazing... you stinky Sasuke," Warring States Naruto couldn't help but admire.

"Hmph... being praised by a weakling isn't something to be happy about," Sasuke scoffed.

"You damn stinky Sasuke! Don't get too full of yourself! You're so great, but aren't you still not as strong as me in this world?" Warring States Naruto broke through his defenses and cursed.

"What does it have to do with you, Whirlpool Naruto, that I'm strong, Windscar Naruto?" Imperial Sasuke smiled coldly.

Enraged, Warring States Naruto shouted, "Damn it! Damn you, stinky Sasuke! Big Brother Naruto! Let's take him on together! We can definitely beat this stinky Sasuke!"

"Little Brother Naruto! That's a great idea! Let's fight side by side, then, brothers! Hahaha!" Imperial Naruto laughed loudly.

He immediately started flexing his muscles again, ready to fight.

"Alright, alright, Naruto, stop fooling around with Little Naruto. We've finished sparring, so let's get going. We've been stopping and starting on this journey, and His Majesty might really be getting impatient," Kushina said with a smile as she ruffled Warring States Naruto's hair to soothe him.

The group finally continued on their way.

Midway through their journey, inside Naruto's body...

The Nine-Tails, who had long regained his freedom, was cursing furiously in the sealed space: "Damn Uchiha! Damn brat!

You bunch of uneducated idiots! You're a bunch of cowards who only know how to use your eyes and don't dare to face me head-on!

You damn brat! Don't think that just because you have the Sage of Six Paths' eyes, you can treat me like this!

I was by the Sage's side long before you were even born... damn it...

Wait... this aura..."

The Nine-Tails suddenly looked up, using Warring States Naruto's eyes to gaze into the distance.

Several kilometers away, in the clouds, invisible to normal human eyes...

He sensed an incredibly terrifying aura.

As Naruto drew closer, the aura became clearer.

In his perception, it began to expand, slowly transforming into a giant shadow that loomed over the world, obscuring the sky, and its face was unclear.

"Good! So strong! Terrifyingly strong! Although I haven't gotten closer...

Just this aura alone... I can determine that the owner of this aura is definitely someone even more terrifying than the Sage of Six Paths!

Is it that guy? Emperor Shenwu? Damn... how can there be such a frightening person in this world! Senju Tianren, Senju Clan... Sage of Six Paths! I never expected such a monster to appear among your descendants, Senju Hashirama's chakra is nothing compared to this!

Damn it! Is Naruto going to meet such a dangerous person?

This is bad! That guy will definitely sense my presence... if he tries to harm me, how can I resist?

No! I have to think of something!"
