Hearing Sasuke, Naruto immediately used Flying Thunder God to reach his side, placed a hand on his shoulder, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to evade the lightning. Just as they finished teleporting, Sasuke completed his hand seals. "Blaze Release: Uchiha Amaterasu Flame Realm!"
A protective dome of Amaterasu flames instantly rose around Sasuke and Naruto, keeping out the cold. Naruto kept teleporting with Sasuke to dodge the lightning strikes. Looking at the barrier formed from Amaterasu, he exclaimed, "Sasuke, how did you do that? This move is amazing!"
"Of course it is," Sasuke said smugly. "Did you think I was like you, unable to perform even nature transformation? I really don't know where your strength came from. You haven't even learned nature transformation yet. What an idiot."
A vein bulged on Naruto's forehead at Sasuke's jab. He felt the urge to beat him to death, but held himself back in the end. Now isn't the time to argue with you. Once this mission is over, I'll make sure you see what I can do.
While maintaining Amaterasu's nature transformation, Sasuke said to Naruto, "We're safe for the moment, but we can't keep dodging forever. We need to find a way to attack."
Naruto nodded. "Leave that to me. You handle defense." He threw a kunai toward the Dragon and formed a Big Ball Rasengan in his hand. Activating the ocular power of his right eye, he sent Amaterasu flames swirling around it. Then he used Flying Thunder God to appear on the Dragon's left, ready to strike with the Amaterasu-wreathed Big Ball Rasengan.
Just as Naruto was about to attack, the Dragon suddenly turned his head toward Naruto and Sasuke, an energy blast gathering in his mouth. "Heh, did you think I'd fall for your trick again?"
