Boom!
Sasuke's Susanoo suddenly appeared, the purplish-black giant tearing through the air and instantly breaking into the encirclement of five Chakra Nine-Tails. With a flap of its six wings, the giant Chakra sword in its hand transformed into a dark purple lightning bolt, directly cleaving down the Nine-Tails clone at the forefront!
"Woo-hoo--!"
The golden behemoth crashed into the ground like a meteorite, the terrifying impact causing the ground within a radius of a hundred meters to collapse, and rubble and dust blasted up dozens of meters high like waves.
The remaining four Chakra of the Nine-Tails unleashed a deafening roar, and several golden behemoths charged towards Susanoo.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Amidst the ear-piercing clang of metal, Susanoo's Crow Tengu armor remained completely still, only causing a few Chakra on its surface. At that moment, the Nine-Tails clones on the left and right sides suddenly sprang up, their massive claws clamping tightly onto Susanoo's arms!
"We got it!" Naruto's voice came from the Nine-Tails clone directly in front of him.
Taking advantage of the moment, the Nine-Tails, Chakra in the very center, charged forward, its fist, brimming with ferocious Chakra, slamming towards Susanoo's face like a comet.
"Bang!!"
A blinding golden light exploded, and the Nine-Tails- Tails' fist was shattered into countless points of light upon impact! Yet, not a single crack appeared on Susanoo's mask.
Susanoo exerted force with both arms, and the purplish-black Chakra erupted like a volcano, directly blasting away the two Nine-Tails clones it was holding. At the same time, its right hand clenched in the air, and a giant Chakra wrapped in lightning once again materialized!
·Swish--·
The sword light cascaded like a waterfall; the Nine-Tails clone in front had no time to dodge, its right hand cleaved in two! The scattered Chakra rained down like a golden storm. Susanoo followed up with a sweeping kick, its leg armor carrying destructive power, slamming the last attacking Nine-Tails clone into the ground—
"Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the earth-shaking roar, the falling Nine-Tails Fox clones smashed a massive crater a hundred meters in diameter into the entire plain. Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly for over a kilometer, and the resulting dust storm blotted out the sun.
The Nine-Tails clone on the ground struggled to get up, golden Chakra surging violently at the bottom of the pit. But just as its front paws touched the edge of the pit—
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket suddenly tore through the clouds! The blinding lightning, like a divine punishment spear, struck the open mouth of the Nine-Tails Fox clone with a force that pierced the heavens and earth.
"Awoo--!"
The clone's wails were instantly swallowed by the thunder. In the dazzling storm, the golden Chakra body shattered like broken glass, and countless particles of light vaporized in the high-voltage current.
All the rubble within a radius of 100 meters was suspended in the air, and then crushed into dust by the shock wave in the next instant!
High in the sky, Naruto Uzumaki had no time to spare, controlling the Nine-Tails' Chakra to continue his battle.
Two of the clones, positioned in a horn-like formation with the main body, simultaneously charged towards Susanoo. The Nine-Tails Fox's claws tore through the air with a piercing shriek, while Susanoo's giant sword unleashed purple lightning. Each collision between the two generated a deafening sonic boom.
As they exchanged blows, they broke through the clouds and soared higher.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
The three Nine-Tails simultaneously opened their gaping maws, and a jet-black energy sphere spun rapidly between their fangs, distorting and deforming the surrounding air due to the high temperature.
Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly contracted, Susanoo exerted its power once more, forming a purple bow and arrow amidst thunder. Three Indra's Arrows, radiating the power of lightning, were poised to be released, their tips facing off against the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Three Indra's Arrow tore through the sky, the Black Lightning coiled around their shafts ionizing the air along their path, leaving eerie blue trails.
The moment the Tailed Beast Bomb made contact with the arrow, there was no violent explosion as expected. Instead, it collapsed silently as if swallowed by a black hole, and then suddenly expanded into three thunderous spheres with a diameter of one kilometer!
"Boom--Zzzzz!!"
Amidst the blinding lightning, the three Chakra Nine-Tails let out painful roars. Their bodies, formed from Yang Release Chakra, were torn open by high-voltage current, with one of them even having its skull pierced through, its scattered golden particles spraying out like blood.
"You only possess a fraction of the Tailed Beasts ' Chakra..." Susanoo, inside his Sasuke, coldly raised his hand, and new arrows automatically generated on the giant bow, "Unable to contend with me in my current state."
"And—no match for this guy either."
Above the sky, dark clouds surged. Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo bow, and purple Chakra condensed between the bowstrings into an Indra's Arrow, wreathed in lightning power.
The arrow expanded as it charged, the lightning crackling on its surface illuminating the clouds for miles around in a bluish-purple hue. The tip of the arrow, aimed at the Chakra Nine-Tails, emitted blinding sparks, and the air, strained under the high pressure, exploded with a deafening roar.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Naruto's forehead, and his azure pupils contracted slightly. "Isn't it ready yet, Kurama?" His voice trembled slightly amidst the surge of Chakra.
Deep within the earth, the first Chakra Nine-Tails to be shot down is now sitting in a meditative posture in the center of the crater.
It clasped its claws together, and the Tailed Beast Chakra stirred up golden ripples in the earth's veins. "Everything on earth is here—" Nine-Tails's eyelids slowly closed, and its body dissolved into specks of golden light, "Now it's yours."
In an instant, the Natural Energy of the entire battlefield began to run rampant.
Visible green energy rises from the mountains and rivers, like thousands of emerald streams flowing against the sky.
Naruto was enveloped in a golden light like the sun, and the three Chakra Nine-Tails merged and transformed in the energy vortex, eventually becoming a towering statue with three heads and six arms.
From the three claws on the left, jet-black vortexes that devour light coalesced, and Yin Release Chakra tore spatial rifts at the edges of the Shuriken; from the three palms on the right, a blazing white ball of light was held aloft, and Yang Release power caused the surrounding air to burn and distort.
Susanoo his Sasuke, curled his lips into Rinnegan. "So you finally want to kill me?" His voice was mingled with the hum of thunder.
"We have already..." Naruto's Six Paths Cloak fluttered behind him, the sound unusually clear, "We've carried too much on our shoulders."
The Nine-Tails 'Chakra eyes locked onto the distant purple giant. "But... I want to fight you, to defeat you fair and square." The Yin-Yang Dual Release resonated in his palms, "But not with you now. You should understand, Sasuke!!"
The moment the Six Paths Rasenshuriken was released, the world lost its color.
The Yin Release devoured the passing light, while the Yang Release scorched the space it passed through; the two forces spiraled and intertwined into a devastating torrent.
At the same time, Susanoo's bowstring vibrated with a sonic boom, and Indra's Arrow transformed into a thunder dragon that pierced the heavens and the earth. Wherever the arrow passed, the atmosphere was ionized, leaving a plasma trail several kilometers long.
The moment the two supreme forces collided, time seemed to stand still.
First, an intense white light engulfed everything, then a supernova-like energy vortex erupted. The temperature at the collision core instantly broke through the surface of the sun, and the shock wave spread out in a spherical shape, tearing up the Earth's crust layer by layer thousands of meters below.
On the battlefield dozens of miles away, Kakashi suddenly pressed his trembling Forehead Protector: "This Chakra... could it be?" Before he could finish speaking, a violent gust of wind tore cracks in his Jonin armor. The Earth Style Wall that Kakashi had erected crumbled in the aftershocks.
The real Shinobi World...
Above the sky, the enormous light screen continued to play the battle that defied all reason—the collision of thunder arrows and Yin-Yang Rasenshuriken, the burst of light seemingly threatening to devour the entire world.
A terrifying shockwave swept across the land, causing mountains thousands of meters below to collapse in the aftershocks, sending plumes of dust billowing into the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The ninjas stared up at the scene, speechless with shock. After a long while, someone swallowed hard and spoke in a trembling voice:
"Is this... really a battle between ninjas?"
"This is even more outrageous than the previous episode featuring Madara Uchiha versus Hashirama Senju!"
"Even when the Five Kage joined forces to fight that Impure World Reincarnation, they weren't stronger than this... But are these two really ninjas like us?!"
"They're not even human!"
Discussions erupted among the ninjas from various villages. Some were terrified, some were in awe, and many more were simply unable to understand—why was there such a vast difference between ninjas of the same caliber?
"And... those two guys are both ninjas from Konoha."
These words immediately created a subtle atmosphere throughout the Shinobi World.
Konoha...
The young ninjas of Konoha —their former classmates—were gathered together, gazing up at the battle in the Heavenly Screen, their expressions varied.
"Hey... are those really Naruto and Sasuke?" Kiba's eyes widened, while Akamaru barked uneasily in his arms.
"Are you kidding me? They'll become this strong in the future?!" Choji even forgot to put the potato chips in his mouth.
Ino crossed her arms and said with a wry smile, "We graduated in the same year, but they've already reached such a high level...?"
Shikamaru rubbed his temples and sighed, "This is really troublesome... This level of power is completely beyond the realm of common sense."
Shino pushed up his sunglasses, remaining silent, but his heart was also churning with complex emotions.
They reflected on Naruto and Sasuke now—one training with Jiraiya, the other a deserter, a missing-nin. Not long ago they were comrades on missions together, but how could the future... have turned out like this?
"The gap... is too big."
