Naruto and Sasuke's Battle

Qingcheng watched as Naruto and Sasuke fought, both panting heavily. They had initially used Gundam-like weapons to battle, escalating their fight from the ground to the sky, creating a chaotic and devastating spectacle.

Now, with their Chakra reserves nearly depleted, they've switched to hand-to-hand combat. Sasuke continues to use grappling throws, while Naruto employs elbow strikes. They exchange blows, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Qingcheng sat in the Hokage's Office, watching the duel between the two on the large screen. Seeing that the battle was about to reach its climax, he was secretly delighted and spoke with a broad smile:

"They'll both be coughing up blood soon, time to go harvest some of their chakra. I really want Asura and Indra's Chakra."

After saying that, Qingcheng clapped his hands and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. With a whoosh, he disappeared from the Hokage Building.

Meanwhile, Kakashi, Mitokado Homura, and the others were still in the Hokage's Office, processing various documents. Most of these documents concerned the Land of Fire, as the country was so vast, occupying over sixty percent of the entire Shinobi World.

Kakashi looked at one of the documents, which had been delivered by Shouhon Yihan. It clearly stated on it...

"Lord Hokage, I am about to invade the Land of Lightning. Right now, only the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, and the Land of You refuse to submit to Blaze Emperor. I will go and strangle them and take over the entire Shinobi World."

Kakashi was slightly taken aback by such arrogant words. After thinking for a moment, he said with a serious expression:

"This Shouhon Yihan, along with Kumo-ma and the others, has already launched a war against the Land of Lightning. With their strength, taking down the Fourth Raikage and Killer B shouldn't be difficult, but why do I have a sense of crisis?"

Kakashi coughed once, then scratched the back of his head, and then muttered something else:

"Maybe it's because I've been watching too much 'Icha Icha Paradise' lately that I've started feeling uneasy. With the Fifth Hokage's strength, even Uchiha Madara could be easily defeated."

Mitokado Homura also opened a document, noticing that it originated from the Land of Water. He then opened the document, looked at its contents, and exclaimed with a smile:

"The Hokage's son is returning. Terumi Mei and Uchiha Yuki have already set off from the Land of Water and will arrive in Konoha soon."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately nodded and said very seriously:

"The Land of Water has been unified, Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage, also serves as the Great General of the Land of Water. It is possible that the Sixth Mizukage will be Uchiha Yuki."

Mitokado Homura immediately nodded, feeling both gratified and excited, and shouted:

"Senju Taoyuan and Hayakumo Sōma have gone directly to attack the Land of Earth. After this battle, our Land of Fire will rule the entire Shinobi World, and Konoha will become the legitimate Shinobi World."

Sitting to the side Utatane Koharu, smiled and nodded upon hearing these words.

"The peace that the First Hokage and the Second Hokage longed for in the Shinobi World is about to be realized."

Hearing their conversation, Kakashi took out another document containing information about the Flying Thunder Squad. It clearly stated:

"Reporting to the Hokage, we have captured the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and retrieved a portion of the Seven-Tails 'Chakra,"

Looking at the document, Kakashi began to make some calculations, then exclaimed in surprise:

"I never expected the Hokage to have gathered all nine Tailed Beasts 'Chakra! The Flying Thunder God Squad acted incredibly fast!"

When Mitokado Homura heard that the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki had been captured, he was slightly taken aback and said with a surprised expression:

"The Three-Tails is still trapped at the dam's mouth, and the Hokage has already collected the One-Tail 'Chakra. Now, only the Seven-Tails is missing. I hear that gathering the Chakra of Nine Tailed Beasts will lead to something extraordinary."

Upon hearing Mitokado Homura's words, Kakashi nodded and hummed in agreement, then spoke with a serious expression:

"It allows one to collect Kekkei Mōra and then awaken top-tier immortal power,"

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura exclaimed in surprise again:

"Top-tier Sage power! Holy crap, the Hokage has defied the heavens! It's truly astonishing!"

Qingcheng flashed to the Seventh Training Ground, where he saw Naruto and Sasuke punching each other fiercely, each blow a physical collision.

Uchiha Kun stood on the ground, watching the two attack each other, their bodies flying everywhere. Sasuke's eyes were swollen, and he was coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

Naruto wasn't in much better shape either; his mouth was still bleeding, he had a large bump on his forehead, and his eyes were bruised.

Because their strengths were so similar, both at the Peak Kage Level and about to enter the Pseudo-Six Paths Level, their battle was extremely intense.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and delivered a left hook to Naruto's mouth, knocking him to the ground with a thud.

Naruto, who had fallen, immediately spun around and got up from the ground. Then, he pushed off with his feet and slammed his head directly into Sasuke. With a loud bang, both Naruto and Sasuke lay on the ground.

Uchiha Kun, seeing the two men lie down, assumed their fight was over and was about to declare a draw, but then he saw them get up again, like cockroaches that just wouldn't die.

Naruto raised his hand, gathering a Rasengan. Despite his numerous injuries, he endured the pain and shouted:

"Sasuke, shall we settle this once and for all?"

Sasuke nodded immediately, enduring the pain in his body, and shouted sternly:

"That suits me perfectly, Narod,"

After Sasuke finished speaking, he raised his scarred left hand and roared:

"Blaze Release: Chidori,"

The two attacked each other simultaneously, preparing to decide the victor with this single strike. Just as the Rasengan and the black Chidori collided, they both created wisps of shockwave.

A bolt of lightning struck directly from the sky, grabbing both of their large hands with a deafening boom, preventing their ultimate techniques from colliding. Immediately afterward, both the Rasengan and Chidori vanished.

"Don't you two want to lose your hands? You need to restrain yourself from using such life-threatening techniques blindly," Qingcheng warned the two sternly.

Sasuke and Naruto, seeing Qingcheng suddenly appear, both smiled and shouted:

"Brother Qingcheng,

Naruto shouted excitedly, "I'm holding back! Sasuke's about to be knocked down!"

Sasuke, upon hearing Naruto's words, looked at him with disdain and spoke very seriously:

"I should be the one saying that; you're the one lying on the ground."

Qingcheng looked at the deep wounds on the two men and then called out again:

"Quiet down. We're going to give you both a physical exam to see how your bodies are, and whether you've awakened a higher level of Sage Body."

Naruto looked at himself, bleeding profusely, and then heard that he needed another physical exam. His face gradually darkened, and he scratched the back of his head.

"Brother Qingcheng, can we have the physical exam later? I've already lost a lot of blood this time, and I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle another vial of blood."

Sasuke didn't waste any words, extending his bloodied right hand and speaking with a serious expression:

"Brother Qingcheng, please draw your blood. This genius isn't some loser who's afraid of a physical exam. He's hopeless."
