In the unseen depths, was fate making its arrangements, or was someone manipulating the changes in the Shinobi World?
In truth, it was only after Uchiha Itachi fell that this special Chakra energy began settling upon Sasuke.
Perhaps from the very beginning, this special Chakra had lingered around both Uchiha Itachi and Second Pillar. But after Uchiha Itachi died, it developed other intentions.
"Heh heh. The Shinobi World is getting more and more interesting." Xuan Yu watched Sasuke and muttered.
If nothing unexpected happened, someone had arranged for Indra's Chakra to choose Sasuke.
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke!"
Sakura and Naruto stared at Sasuke's departing back in astonishment, both wanting to follow him.
"Let him have some peace and quiet." After saying that, Xuan Yu did not linger. He flashed back to where he had been standing, sensing the changes in his eyes after absorbing the Sharingan.
"Naruto, Sasuke will be okay, right? He feels a little strange right now."
Sakura stared at Sasuke's back, her eyes full of worry as she murmured.
"He should be fine, right?" Naruto had obeyed Xuan Yu's orders and did not follow, but his eyes held the same concern.
After going through so much together, they had formed their own bond.
Naruto could not rest easy watching Sasuke leave like that.
"Don't worry, kid. Your friend is fine... and after this, he has gotten stronger again!" The Nine-Tails seemed to sense Naruto's concern and said, "You'll need to train hard from now on. Otherwise, you might be left behind for good."
"You won't be able to keep up with Sasuke!"
The Nine-Tails spoke slowly within Naruto's Spiritual World.
Huh?
Naruto was stunned. Sasuke had gotten stronger again?
But he really did seem to sense a special energy spreading out from Sasuke's body.
Had Sasuke really become stronger?
