Chapter 389

"You don't need to do anything, you can just stay here."

Akito stated.

You just need to watch this battle quietly.

The battle between Naruto and Sasuke gradually escalated.

Sasuke awakened the Mitsudomoe and State Two.

Naruto Uzumaki also unleashed a tail.

"Chidori!!" A dark Chidori sound rang out.

"Rasengan!!" The Rasengan, empowered by the Nine-Tails Chakra, possessed terrifying destructive power.

Both lowered their bodies, and then leaped up.

Just as they were about to attack each other...

Boom!!!

A dark aura descended from the sky.

A massive amount of Senjutsu Chakra bombarded down.

"Whoa~!"

Naruto and Sasuke were instantly shunned.

The valley floor, Valley of the End, is revealed.

The terrifying output created an absolute no-go zone around the water flow, exposing a large portion of the valley floor.

Ying descended from the sky and floated in front of Naruto and Sasuke.

The final interrogation of Naruto Uzumaki... is about to begin!

"It's you again!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked up, staring angrily at Ying.

On the other side, Sasuke was also somewhat puzzled.

But he decided to wait and see how things developed before making a decision.

"Why... why do you have to stop me?!"

Naruto Uzumaki started yelling incoherently.

"I just... want to bring Sasuke back!!!"

The grief and indignation in his heart remained unknown to outsiders.

However...

"Heh, is that really how it is?" Ying asked coldly.

Naruto and Sasuke: "?"

"You were just about to attack Sasuke Uchiha's Forehead Protector, weren't you?"

Ying pointed this out.

"And Sasuke Uchiha, you're planning to attack Naruto Uzumaki's sternum, aren't you?"

Without a doubt.

Sasuke's Chidori struck Naruto's sternum, but thanks to the Naruto Uzumaki -Nine-Tails Chakra, even if it pierced through, it wouldn't cause a fatal injury.

Moreover, Sasuke will definitely curl his fingers at the last moment to reduce the destructive power of Chidori.

Meanwhile, on Naruto Uzumaki's side, Rasengan versus Chidori.

After the exchange of fire, the Rasengan disappeared.

Sasuke's Dark Chidori is still there.

In other words, at this point, Naruto Uzumaki only had the Nine-Tails Chakra left as a means of attack.

Using the Nine-Tails Chakra, specifically the Tailed Beast Cloak, to hit the Forehead Protector would not seriously injure Sasuke.

It can be said that...

One is normal water discharge.

One is extreme leniency.

Sasuke didn't intend to seriously Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki... had no intention of bringing Sasuke back.

"W-What do you mean?!" Naruto Uzumaki asked.

"The meaning is simple: you... don't want Sasuke Uchiha back at all."

Ying looked down at him and said coldly.

"Otherwise, why didn't you use Summoning Technique to summon Gamabunta?"

310. Naruto Uzumaki's defenses have been breached!

Let's not mention the incident between Naruto and Sasuke regarding the wave.

Whether it's the original work or this world.

Naruto Uzumaki had promised Sakura that he would bring Sasuke Uchiha.

Moreover, it was a declaration that went something like, "Even if it means breaking Sasuke's arms and legs, I will bring him back!"

So, how many of these did Naruto Uzumaki execute?

The answer is... 0.

At the beginning.

Naruto Uzumaki encountered the Sound Four and Sasuke, who was sealed in a wooden barrel.

At this moment, Konoha dispatched a five-person team.

It is known that Genma Shiranui Namiashi Raidō have just returned from a mission with zero health and zero mana.

The Sound Four would need to unleash their full power level two to defeat them.

A comprehensive assessment.

The Sound Four's strength is between Chunin Special Jonin.

Even if all four of them possess the strength of Special Jonin.

What can be done now?

As long as Naruto Uzumaki Summoning Gamabunta.

Gamabunta, whose starting strength is at the Kage Level, could wipe out the Sound Four with a single spit.

Let's say Naruto Uzumaki Summoning fails... well, this isn't an accident; to add drama, it happened multiple times.

Even Toad dragons have appeared.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you Summoning a few more times, Gamabunta will appear.

What comes out during the first Summoning is not important.

The important thing is attitude.

Naruto Uzumaki chased after Sasuke, knowing it was the most important thing, yet he still kept making promises.

Why not Summoning with Gamabunta through spirit mediumship?

What kind of mindset is it to not even try once?

If Gamabunta appears.

Otherwise, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru, Choji wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries and been brought to the brink of death.

With one move, Gamabunta wiped out Sound Four.

Konoha's five-man squad plus Gamabunta couldn't even beat Sasuke?

At this point, Sasuke Uchiha was like a god descended to earth, the son of the Six Paths, possessing extraordinary abilities.

He couldn't possibly have survived being ganged up on by a five-man Konoha pursuit team.

Besides, there's Gamabunta, whose strength is at least at the Kage Level, right next to them.

Naruto Uzumaki had promised Sakura that he would bring Sasuke back even if it meant breaking Sasuke leg.

However, when he went to chase after the Sound Four, he seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that he could Summoning Gamabunta.

This is, to be honest, surprising.

Gamabunta were to appear, he could not only break Sasuke's limbs, but he could even have any fragments of Sasuke's body if he wanted.

"So here's the question."

Ying floated in the air, her tone mocking and indifferent.

"Naruto Uzumaki, why... why don't you Summoning Gamabunta?"

"Would you rather let Choji Akimichi and Kiba Inuzuka die facing a powerful enemy than Summoning Gamabunta?"

"Didn't you promise Sakura Haruno that you'd bring Sasuke back even if it meant breaking his arms and legs? Did you do it? Did you take action?"

Ying's soul-searching question.

This left Naruto Uzumaki stunned on the spot.

Because... he simply couldn't answer that question.

"You keep saying that Sasuke Uchiha is your friend and comrade, so let me ask you, do you know what he wants and what he pursues? Do you know the source of his suffering? Okay... let's not talk about anything else, do you know what Sasuke Uchiha's favorite food is?"

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki opened his mouth, but couldn't answer either.

Because he simply doesn't understand Sasuke Uchiha's pain.

I don't know Sasuke's character, preferences, or pursuits at all...

"You're so Sasuke Uchiha, but you don't realize... you're just on a higher level than Sasuke Uchiha."

"You have Sannin, one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya your teacher, you learned the Rasengan, and you possess the unique legacy of Mount Myōboku. Then you smugly mock Kakashi, who only Sasuke as his instructor, hurting his feelings. Is this what you call a friend?"

"You won't bring Sasuke back unless Summoning Gamabunta, so you can have Sakura Haruno all to yourself, right? You despicable bastard... The Sakura Haruno you love would never love trash like you."

Ying's continuous questioning and barrage of attacks delivered the final blow to Naruto Uzumaki.

"Waaaaaahh..."

Naruto Uzumaki screamed wildly.

"You bastard...!!!"

The Nine-Tails Chakra surged within him, instantly transforming from one tail into two.

This moment.

The plot deviates from the original work.

Or rather... Naruto Uzumaki got angry out of embarrassment.

"Wow, what incredible power..."

Ying said sarcastically.

"If you, with your two tails, were to face Sasuke, you could easily crush him, right?"

Naruto Uzumaki in a Tailed Beast Cloak with two tails, was stronger than most Jonin.

At this moment, he...

They are practically invincible.

However, this very fact proves Naruto Uzumaki's attitude—that he had no intention of bringing Sasuke back.
