Red eyes

With the construction work nearing completion, both Team 7 and Team 10 had a rendezvous with the head of the site, with all the workers watching them and talking to each other. The man, seemingly unaware of their true mission, chatted happily with the teams and commended them for their dedication and great help.

"You've all been a tremendous help. I can't thank you enough for your hard work and dedication. "

"No problem. with Konoha shinobi, only the best service ! " Said Tenzo with a grin, looking at Ino giving him a signal. 

Team 10, led by Ino, took the initiative to create a diversion. Ino, with her ability to manipulate minds, attracted the attention of the two weaker targets, engaging them in conversation. Shikamaru and Choji discreetly followed, ready to intervene if necessary.

"Hey, I was wondering if you guys could help me with something over there "at this,she made a discreet hand seal,with both guy falling into a trance 

"Whaa–? sure " they both followed her 

Meanwhile, Sasuke crafted an excuse to lead the old man away, creating an opportunity for Tenzo to deal with the two stronger targets.

"We've heard about your fishing skills. Could you demonstrate it for us?"

"Yeah ! Sasuke told me that you were really good ! " 

The old man, his face creasing into a smile, nodded eagerly. "Of course, young ones. Fishing is an art I've mastered over the years." at this, he followed them into the forrest, going to a river near

Seeing them going, with Tenzo and Sakura,

Sakura's hands moved fluidly, forming seals with practiced ease.

"yamato-sensei, it's time," she said, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Tenzo, watching the area with keen eyes, replied with a confident smirk. "Let's do this."

As Sakura released her jutsu, feathers descended like a serene storm, the workers around them succumbing to sudden slumber. The two targets, now aware of their predicament, panicked,taking out their hidden weapon 

One shouted, "Shit ! We're exposed! Act now!" 

"Im sorry to say its too late for you..." 

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

Deep in the Forest, by the River

"Haa, what good rivers. what do you think kids, good enough ? "

Naruto, his eyes narrowed with suspicion and curiosity, confronted the old man as they neared the river. "You're not just a fisherman, are you ? "

The old man, attempting to maintain his guise, replied with feigned confusion, his voice full of confusion. "I don't understand what you mean, young man."

Naruto, growing impatient with the charade, stepped closer, his voice firm. "Come on, drop the act. We know you're not a fisherman." 

"why would you say that ? "

"You don't have the quality of one. Stop wasting our time, old man ! "

 With Sasuke observing silently, his eyes cold, watched as Naruto confronted the man , his usual brashness on full display.

"Had enough of hiding yet?" 

The man, giving a sudden cold face, asked him " How did you know ? "

does he think we are fools ? 

"What kind of fisherman goes into fishing without any fishing equipment ?

So it was for this reason, how careless of him

Nevermind then

"Haha really ? There is no doubt that I'm a fisherman…because I'm here to fish FOR YOU ! " 

In a sudden burst of aggression, he lunged at Naruto with a knife. The blade met only smoke as it struck a wooden substitution, which fell into the ground. The real Naruto, having leapt to safety, landed near the river's edge, his expression a mix of annoyance and readiness.

"Guess we got the big fish like we wanted, right sasuke ? " 

Sasuke, his eyes flashing, blade in hand, warned,

"Just don't drag me down,idiot "

"Ha ! I should be the one to tell you this, you bastard ! "

As the old man's face melted away, revealing a much younger adversary, he taunted them.

"I'm grateful that you made it easy for me, by giving me the chance to get away from that pesky jounin, and with such a big fish, the Last Uchiha. Didnt you know that Your kind fetches a high price?"

Sasuke's grip tightened on his weapon, a sense of irritation building within him 

"I will enjoy taking you down, creep " 

"No, I will enjoy taking you down ! " The man began forming quick seals.

Clapping hands, thunder arrows started forming behind him 

Shit, it look dangerous. 

Sasuke's voice cut through the tension. "Naruto, get down now!"

They both dodged just in time as thunder arrows tore through the air where they stood seconds before.

Naruto, catching his breath, exclaimed, "That was way too close! What the hell is that ? "

Sasuke, his eyes on the enemy, responded with a grim face,

"Thunder Release ! Be careful to not let it touch you ! "

"you don't need to tell me this ! "

In the midst of relentless attacks, Sasuke and Naruto found themselves dodging an unending barrage of thunder arrows.

The intensity and ferocity of the assault were unexpected, pushing both ninjas to their limits.

'This isn't right... He's stronger than we anticipated.'

Amidst the chaos, Sasuke voiced his concern to Naruto, who, while deftly avoiding another arrow, replied with his usual blend of sarcasm and bravado. "Gee, Sasuke, as if I didn't notice!"

Sasuke, slightly annoyed by Naruto's comment but focused on the situation, quickly formed hand seals. In a quick counterattack, he unleashed a volley of small fireballs. 

"Katon : Hosenka no jutsu ! " As they collided with the thunder arrows, an explosion ensued, filling the area with a blinding cloud of dust and debris.

"Don't stand there like an idiot, change position ! " 

"Shut up, i got it ! "

As the dust settled, Naruto and Sasuke stood back to back, their senses heightened.

The man, charging from the dust with a deadly grin, materialized before them with alarming speed, a kunai crackling with thunder energy in hand.

In a swift, protective reflex, Sasuke's foot shot out, propelling Naruto out of harm's way just as the kunai sliced through the air where Naruto had been moments before. This action catapulted Naruto into a brief flight, accompanied by his indignant yell.

"Hey! What's the big idea, Sasuke-teme !?" Naruto shouted, annoyed yet relieved at the narrow escape.

Ignoring Naruto's complaint, Sasuke engaged the man in a fast-paced taijutsu duel. Their movements were a blur, a dance of agility and power, as Sasuke deftly navigated the man's relentless strikes,avoiding the dangerous attack.

the thunder blade cut into his own

"Shit ! " throwing his blade that got cut in the exchange at the man face, the man only moving his head to the side

"Is that all you got ? " 

Meanwhile, Naruto, recovering from his unexpected flight, quickly employed one of his signature moves.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he exclaimed

Multiple clones sprung into existence, swarming to aid Sasuke in the battle.

The clones launched a coordinated assault, but the man moved with surprising agility, evading the clones' attacks with ease,hitting them into explosion. He parried Sasuke's strikes with precision , maintaining a defensive stance that left little room for surprise.

"Shadows clones...It seem like you are as special as the uchiha. i wonder what secret you got "

"Eat shit you old creep ! " 

"Tsk " 

The battle intensified as the man, clearly irritated by Naruto's relentless shadow clone assault, clapped his hands together.

"Raiton ! " 

In an instant, his body became a conduit for electricity, thunder crackling around him. This electrifying aura struck out, hitting Sasuke and the Naruto clones. Naruto, witnessing this, shouted in concern, "Sasuke!"

But to Naruto's relief and the man's frustration, a charred wooden log appeared in Sasuke's place – a classic substitution.

"Quick thinking" the man remarked, acknowledging Sasuke's swift move.

Wasting no time, the man formed new seals, shifting his strategy. He launched a series of water balls towards Sasuke and Naruto, who nimbly dodged the attacks.

"This guy is so annoying!" Naruto exclaimed, frustration evident in his tone.

Sasuke, analyzing the situation, noted, "He's got more chakra than even a Chuunin should have."

Naruto, puzzled, asked, "You think he's a Jounin?"

Sasuke, his mind racing, replied, "No, a Jounin wouldn't be wasted here for no reason. he also lack the strength of one "

"How do you know ? " 

"We would be in a worst situation by now if he was one "

With a quick move, Sasuke formed his own seals and unleashed a large fireball jutsu towards the man.

"Katon ! "

"Suiton ! " In response, the man countered with a massive water ball. The collision created a thick mist of steam, enveloping the area and reducing visibility.

"What the hell sasuke, i don't have magic eyes to see in the mist ! "

"Shut it you fool, get close ! " 

Naruto and Sasuke, realizing the heightened danger in these obscured conditions, stood back to back, ready to defend against any surprise attack from their enemy. 

"Dang, let's do this ! Kagebunshin ! "

Naruto, quick to adapt, created a multitude of clones, each one a mirror of his determination.

"Disperse!" he commanded, and the clones scattered in every direction.

"Kagebunshin ? hum.." 

Sasuke watched this maneuver, a question evident in his eyes, but then a realization dawned on him. A smirk briefly crossed his face, acknowledging Naruto's thinking.

"its seem like you are really special, i never saw a genin making so many physicall clones. " At this, The man, not to be outdone, reappeared with astonishing speed, courtesy of a shunshin jutsu.

He lunged, aiming to cut down Sasuke and Naruto. But in a flash of quick thinking, both replaced themselves with Naruto's clones, leaving the man to strike the copy exploding.

"How annoying. i hate naughty childrens the most " 

Sasuke, seizing the moment to taunt, remarked, "You've got good chakra reserves, but your skills are quite lacking."

"Hum, i will enjoy cutting your tongue "

This comment struck a nerve, and the man's irritation flared.

"Suiton : water torrent ! " he executed another water jutsu, directing a torrential assault at Sasuke and the remaining Naruto clones. The battlefield became a chaotic blend of water and clones, each Naruto working to shield Sasuke and counter the man's relentless attacks.

The man, adept in water-based jutsu, continuously hurled water balls at the duo. The air was filled with the sounds of their rapid movements, punctuated by the splashes of water balls hitting the ground or trees.

The forest battlefield, now drenched and treacherous from the relentless water attacks, became a tactical advantage for the man. With calculated precision, he herded Naruto and Sasuke towards the most waterlogged area of the ground.

"I got you ! Hihihihi "

"Suiton ! water hand ! "

As they reached the spot, the man formed a new set of seals. From the waterlogged earth, tendrils of water surged up like living creatures, wrapping around Naruto and Sasuke's legs.

Their expressions turned to surprise as they tried to leap away, only to find themselves ensnared by the water tendrils.

"What the hell– ? " 

"Shit ! don't tell me— ! " 

"Hihihihihihihihihhihih, Got yaaa ! "

"Raiton ! "

As the man completed the seals for his thunder jutsu, a deafening roar of electricity filled the air, accompanied by blinding flashes of light. The entire area became a deadly electrified trap, with the electrical currents coursing through the waterlogged ground. The intense yell and electrical noise echoed through the forest as Sasuke and Naruto were caught in it.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa " 

"Arghhhhhhhhh "

Both young ninjas struggled in agony as the electrical currents zapped through their bodies. Their muscles spasmed, and their vision blurred from the excruciating pain. They gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, determined to stand their ground.

"T..Temeeee..."

"Shit..Naruto, run "

"pitiful guys " 

But before they could fully recover and mount a counterattack, the man unleashed the thunder jutsu once again. The electricity surged through them once more, causing them to convulse in pain. 

"Is that all you got ? why don't you use your sharingan, uchiha boy,"

"or....maybe you don't have it? HIHIHIHAHAHAHAHA "

Amidst the crackling of electricity, the man taunted Sasuke, his voice filled with sadistic glee,slowly approaching him and ignoring the dawned naruto

Sensing the imminent danger to his life, and angered by the words, a purple light gave a throb inside of Sasuke's soul. His Sharingan appeared to life, spinning wildly, a tomoe rotating in each eye faster than ever before. the very essence of his Uchiha bloodline had awakened in response to the threat.

The man, noticing the glow and intensity of Sasuke's Sharingan, couldn't contain his satisfaction. His expression shifted from sadistic glee to one of elation.

"Lucky ! to think such a boring place could get me such a precious gift hahaha ! I'll enjoy taking your eyes and selling them in the black market. They'll fetch me a handsome price."

Sasuke, despite the pain coursing through his body, felt a wave of real danger wash over him. The threat to his eyes, a symbol of his clan's legacy, added to his anger and fear. Meeting the man's eyes, he gave a murderous expression, throwing a weak illusion, freezing him for a second. 

"Genjutsu ? such scary eyes, it just excite m----Argh !" 

The man's elated words were abruptly cut short when he felt a powerful impact on his side while frozen by the sudden illusion. He was sent tumbling through the air, crashing onto the ground. His expression of triumph turned into one of shock and pain.

"Who--- "

Naruto, his eyes now tinged with a furious shade of red, glared at the man with an intensity that could make even the bravest ninja quiver in fear. The torture they had endured and the man's threat to Sasuke had pushed Naruto to the brink. Unconsciously tapping into the chakra of the Nine-Tails, Naruto had awakened from the debilitating effects of the thunder shock.

The red chakra of the Nine-Tails faintly began to envelop Naruto's body, and his normally azure eyes transformed into fierce, slitted orbs. His anger and determination surged, and with newfound strength, he stood tall, ready to protect his comrade and defeat their formidable foe.

"YOUUUUU— " 

"How did you–How did you get over the thunder shock ?! " 

The man's attempt to stand up was met with a relentless barrage of Naruto's ferocious and rapid strikes, hitting him everywhere.

He struggled to withstand the onslaught, desperately trying to create some distance to form a set of hand seals for a jutsu.

Getting kicked, he started making seals

But Naruto's rage and anger were unrelenting. In a flash, he reappeared before the man, and with a ferocious palm strike, he forcefully pressed down on the man's hands, preventing him from completing the jutsu. The man grimaced in pain from the sting of Naruto's palm boring down on him.

Before the man could react, Naruto's clenched fist crashed into the man's stomach with devastating force. The impact sent the man hurtling through the air at great speed, and he collided with a massive stone with a bone-crushing impact. The man coughed up blood as he lay broken and battered, his body a testament to the fury and strength of Naruto's resolve. 

"What kind of monster are you ?!! " 

"For hurting my friend, I WILL MURDER YOU ! " 

Naruto's enraged voice echoed through the forest, and his red eyes bore into the man with a murderous intent that sent shivers down the man's spine. The sheer force of Naruto's killing intent was suffocating, freezing the man in his place as if he were trapped in a genjutsu.

But Naruto wasn't alone in this. Just as the man thought he couldn't endure the pressure any longer, an angry Sasuke appeared at his side. With lightning speed, he stuck a knife into the man's already wounded side then took it out, causing him to cry out in pain. using the blade, he gave him a quick hit to the eyes, cutting the,and before the man could react, Sasuke followed it up with a brutal kick to the injured spot on his face, adding to the injury.

"That will show you to be greedy for my eyes, you motherfucker ! "

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA , MY EYES ! " The man's body convulsed in agony as he crumpled to the ground, writhing in pain, having lost it from the pain of his cut eyes and the pain on his side

Naruto, his anger dying seeing sasuke ruthless attack, was taken by surprise when a serious-looking Tenzo reappeared behind him.

Tenzo's hand firmly gripped Naruto's shoulder, and with quick hand seals, wooden tendrils erupted from the ground, tightly coiling around Naruto.

These wooden restraints began to siphon Naruto's chakra, draining his strength until he eventually fainted from exhaustion.

As he felt his strength waning, he managed to mutter with frustration, "Why…would you.... Yamato-sensei.."

"Sorry naruto, i can't play with this "
