So fast!
Sasuke's expression shifted slightly as he turned his head to look at Naruto, who was right beside him.
One of Naruto's arms rested on Sasuke's shoulder. At this distance, if they started fighting, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Your speed has become this fast," Sasuke said in a low voice.
"Yeah. I just gained new power. You should feel honored to have the chance to experience my strength firsthand."
Naruto let out a low laugh.
Seeing Sasuke, his words were full of disdain, yet he felt inexplicably excited inside.
It was perfect that he had encountered this guy just after gaining new power.
"You said... another me?"
Sasuke was confused at first, then revealed an enlightened expression.
So last time, it had been his future self—the version of himself who had transplanted Itachi's eyes—who had saved him?
Sasuke truly hadn't known.
"Looks like you've obtained some information. You've grown over the past year or so. You're no longer muddleheaded like some naïve idiot."
Naruto snorted. He had never thought much of the Sasuke from before, who had put far too much faith in the village.
As for their last battle, when future Sasuke had stopped him... honestly, Naruto didn't know whether he really would have killed Sasuke if future Sasuke hadn't appeared to stop him.
If he killed Sasuke, he would gain a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, and Naruto's strength would increase even further.
"I've done more than grow. I'm already strong enough to bring you back to the village. This time, even without another me, I will..." Sasuke revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
A powerful oppressive force surged forth.
Only then did Naruto notice the subtle changes in Sasuke's eyes.
The pattern had become more solid?
"Your eyes are interesting. They feel somewhat similar to the other you,"
