"Shut up!"
With a furious roar, the Nine-Tails formed a Tailed Beast Rasengan right in his hand and hurled it at his opponent.
Yet this seemed to play right into his opponent's hands. Fake Naruto smiled and thrust his palm forward.
An invisible ripple spread through Sora, and the instant it touched the incoming Tailed Beast Rasengan—
The Tailed Beast Rasengan, packed with powerful chakra, abruptly stopped, hanging motionless in Sora.
"I've lost control?" The Nine-Tails stopped moving, seemingly calming down, and quickly retreated to his previous position. "His ability must have something to do with controlling chakra!"
After hearing the Nine-Tails' explanation and witnessing the scene, Adult Sasuke no longer hesitated.
Now that he knew who was friend and who was foe, he moved decisively to attack alongside the Nine-Tails.
Since even a highly concentrated Rasengan had proved useless, Sasuke had no intention of wasting further ninjutsu on probing attacks while he was unable to use his dojutsu.
His opponent had already shown enough speed to dodge his Chidori outright. Long-range fire release would be even less likely to accomplish anything.
"Use shuriken."
Adult Sasuke spoke to his younger self, drawing a Summoning Scroll from behind his back with one hand and unfurling it. Several enormous Fūma Shuriken emerged from the scroll.
Young Sasuke grabbed one, channeled his chakra, and hurled the Fūma Shuriken at the enemy with lightning flashing around it!
Adult Sasuke also threw a Fūma Shuriken, then grabbed several more, preparing to unleash a relentless barrage of shurikenjutsu.
But the bizarre sight that followed forced both Sasukes to stop in their tracks.
The Tailed Beast Rasengan that had abruptly frozen in Sora moved the instant the enormous Fūma Shuriken approached, charging straight into them!
The highly concentrated chakra smashed the shuriken to pieces—no, it practically melted
