Clang
Sizzle, sizzle
Armored Susanoo's massive blade struck the Crimson Spiral.
The two sides remained locked in a stalemate.
The energy storm created by their collision had already rippled out in every direction.
Even the rooftops of Konoha buildings closer to the battlefield had been blown away!
And the raging shockwaves continued to spread through Konoha.
Anyone who saw this scene would probably have no doubt that if the Crimson Spiral exploded, all of Konoha would vanish from the map!
The people of Konoha could only silently pray that Naruto and Sasuke would win.
But in reality, although Armored Susanoo was resisting the Crimson Spiral, it was already showing signs of being unable to hold on.
Crack, crack
The hundred-meter-wide Crimson Spiral slowly pressed downward, while Armored Susanoo, holding it back with its blade, gradually bent beneath the pressure.
Once Armored Susanoo could no longer endure and was completely crushed by the Crimson Spiral, Naruto and Sasuke would likely both die on the spot!
Faced with such a disadvantage, if no outsider intervened, Naruto and Sasuke had only two choices left.
Either abandon the village and flee, or live and die with it!
And whether it was Naruto or Sasuke, their choice would obviously only be the latter.
They could not abandon the village, abandon their families within it, and survive alone.
Perhaps this was also the downside of having the battlefield within Konoha.
Because the village was behind them, Naruto and Sasuke could only forcibly take Momoshiki's Crimson Spiral head-on!
If they had been in an open wilderness, Sasuke could have opened a spatial portal beneath Momoshiki's Crimson Spiral and fled with Naruto.
After the Crimson Spiral had scoured the ground clean, they could have returned to settle the score with the heavily drained Momoshiki.
But here, that was
