God's Eye
After the situation was finally laid bare before the two of them, Little Naruto's expression became subtle.
It's hard to describe that subtle feeling; it's like something's stuck in your throat, wanting to laugh but not daring to, wanting to hold it in but not being able to, ultimately just contorting into a distorted expression.
Because... Sasuke from another world is actually a girl?!
That arrogant Sasuke, who always had a stern face and called him "idiot" in a cold tone? He's a girl?!
Seriously, under normal circumstances, given Little Naruto's usual personality, he should immediately burst into laughter, pointing at Sasuke and mocking him endlessly, enjoying the rare sight of that usually aloof guy showing his embarrassment and anger.
Just thinking about that scene made him feel relieved.
However, his emotional intelligence still gave him the upper hand.
He suddenly realized that if he mocked Sasuke like that, it would be extremely rude to Satsuki from the other world.
The pretty woman stood there, looking at them with her cool, aloof eyes. If they laughed because of her gender—wouldn't that be saying, "You're strange as a woman"?
Isn't that mocking her for who she truly is?
Although Little Naruto is carefree, he still has a sense of propriety.
So he desperately suppressed that smile, his Kakuzu twitching and his whole face turning red.
However, for Little Sasuke, whose nerves were already extremely sensitive at this moment, Naruto's suppressed laughter was enough to embarrass and annoy him.
"I... I won't admit it--!"
To save the last bit of face he had left, Little Sasuke could only shout like that.
"How could I possibly become like this in another world!"
He pointed at Satsuki, his finger trembling slightly. "If you really are my counterpart, how could your gender possibly change!"
Satsuki, who had only reluctantly shown herself because she had been called out, frowned slightly upon hearing this.
She hadn't really wanted to come in the first place. She just wanted to travel with Naruto and find the real "Naruko Uzumaki". Spending time here was already beyond her plans.
And now, this version of myself from another world is questioning her gender?
In Satsuki's mind, she was a woman; it was an inherent reality, a fact she had held since childhood. She never felt there was anything wrong with it, nor did she ever think of explaining it.
But now, her counterpart in another world sees her existence as some kind of heresy?
Her displeasure was clearly written on her face.
"Think what you want about this."
Satsuki spoke, her voice even colder than before, "But for me, your gender is the real issue. If that's all you have to say, then I'm taking Naruto and leaving."
She had no interest in arguing about gender with Little Sasuke.
"What... but..."
Little Sasuke incoherently.
This tactic of ending a conversation when one can't win an argument is completely unknown territory for someone as sexually frigid as him.
He just opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"But... why...?"
He finally spoke again, this time turning his gaze to Big Naruto beside him.
"This Dead Last hasn't changed in the other world?!"
Big Naruto was taken aback. How did the topic suddenly shift to him?
"If someone really wanted to change their gender..."
Little Sasuke's mind was in a mess; he didn't even know what he was saying.
"Shouldn't it be this Dead Last student?!"
He pointed at Big Naruto, his voice laced with an unreasonable indignation. "After all, only he would develop such unorthodox Ninjutsu!"
Big Naruto blinked, unsure what to say for a moment.
Beside him, Little Naruto, oblivious to the world, spoke up. As expected of someone who had developed the Harem Technique at such a young age, he didn't even blush as he replied.
"Eh? Sasuke, you actually thought that way?"
He had that smug grin on his face, completely unaware that he was adding fuel to the fire.
"However, if I were a girl, I wouldn't be like those girls who fall in love with you the moment they meet."
He spoke very seriously, as if he were stating a fact.
But to Little Sasuke's ears, these words were undoubtedly another form of provocation.
Little Sasuke's face immediately turned bright red.
He suddenly turned around, grabbed Little Naruto by the collar, and pulled him right in front of him.
"You utter idiot! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson!"
It's good to make a fuss.
Little Naruto's carefree teasing, Little Sasuke's embarrassed and annoyed rebuttal, and the way the two of them wrestled together—these childish, meaningless squabbles, completely unrelated to revenge and darkness, gave Little Sasuke's heart, which was almost crushed by the truth, a temporary respite.
Those negative thoughts, those feelings of confusion, that bewilderment of not knowing where to go—were temporarily masked by a sense of shame.
Big Naruto watched the two boys wrestling, a slight smile crept onto his lips.
However, after all the commotion and laughter, some things still need to be addressed.
"Satsuki."
He spoke, his gaze shifting to Satsuki beside him. "Please, produce the evidence. It won't take much time anyway."
"Evidence?"
Satsuki thought for a moment and nodded.
"Oh, okay then. So, what exactly do I need to do?"
She agreed without hesitation, even with a hint of eagerness.
"Do that?" Big Naruto thought for a moment.
"By the way, let me, and the other two, witness Satsuki's power. I've never seen Susanoo with those eyes before."
Upon hearing this, Satsuki nodded without hesitation.
A proud expression appeared on that aloof face.
After all, displaying immense power is something the Uchiha Clan, who revere strength, finds enjoyable in itself.
Moreover, it's being shown to "yourself" in another world.
"Alright, you two."
Big Naruto turned around and shouted at the two boys who were still fighting.
"Look this way!"
His voice reached both of them clearly.
"Sasuke, don't you want power? Then see just how powerful you will be in the future."
Little Sasuke was taken aback for a moment.
He released his grip on Little Naruto's collar and slowly turned his head.
Then—he felt it.
An indescribably vast amount of Yin Release Chakra surged from Satsuki's body!
The chakra surged like a tidal wave, as deep as an abyss. It spread out overwhelmingly, enveloping the entire Valley of the End, making Little Sasuke feel like an ant standing at the feet of a giant.
His pupils contracted sharply.
He saw those eyes.
Those eyes were no longer black.
The left eye turned a deep purple, with six jet-black Tomoe slowly rotating, while the right eye maintained its scarlet base color, but the pupil also transformed into rippling waves.
That's definitely the Sharingan.
But why is it like that?
Little Sasuke's mind went blank; he had never seen or heard of any legends about Sharingan that resembled this.
Little Sasuke didn't know that this was the pinnacle of the Sharingan, an eye possessed only by Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The God's Eye, also known as the Moon Eye.
And now, those eyes are right in front of him.
Of course, demonstrating strength requires a goal.
Satsuki's Susanoo had not yet manifested, but she decided to make a prelude by extending a hand, her slender fingers pointing towards the sky.
Light began to gather in those heterochromatic eyes.
