Standing on ground that had already sunk more than ten meters, Sasuke watched the purple skeleton around him begin to grow.
It had originally been only an upper body, but now a lower body appeared as well. Once the entire skeleton had formed, armor enveloped it.
A pair of wings also appeared on its back!
"So this is the Perfect Susanoo..."
Inside the Susanoo, Sasuke murmured to himself. This was his first time manifesting its perfect form, too.
Then the Susanoo clenched both hands, and a long sword appeared in each.
They pointed at Naruto and Neji, respectively.

"That's the Nine-Tails!"
"No! The color's wrong!"
Only then did everyone notice that the Nine-Tails had turned golden.
"Seriously, you sure know how to pick your opponents."
The Nine-Tails inside Naruto wasn't oblivious to the outside world. He had been watching everything outside all along.

Sasuke watched Naruto's Tailed Beast Transformation, his gaze growing increasingly
