Although the main purpose of this battle was to reclaim Neji's Byakugan from Toneri, Naruto did not actually dislike fighting.
It had not been long since he became a Perfect Jinchuriki.
Yet after becoming a Perfect Jinchuriki, the enemy he faced had been Urashiki Otsutsuki!
Strictly speaking, Naruto had yet to experience a battle that truly belonged to him.

At that moment, Sasuke, who had been sent flying into the ruins behind them by a single palm strike from that special puppet, returned to Naruto's side with a grim expression.
"Naruto, that puppet isn't simple!"
Sasuke stared solemnly at the puppet, which looked no different from an ordinary person.

Of course, Naruto and Sasuke could both tell that the puppet was far more than merely tough.
Whether in speed or strength, not even ordinary ninja possessed such abilities. Even most Kage-level experts probably did not!

As long as one observed carefully, it was easy to tell they were puppets.
But
