Once Hinata left the battlefield, Naruto no longer had any inclination to play around.
Clang!
He planted the Ruyi Jingu Bang beside him. "Monkey King, head back for now."
The Monkey King said, "Master, does the staff not suit you? I can turn into other weapons!"
Naruto said, "Weapon combat isn't my specialty. A fighting style I haven't thoroughly honed won't work against an opponent of this caliber. Once this battle is over, I'll train it properly. That'll be your time to shine. Go..."
"Understood, Master!"
Poof! He vanished in a cloud of white smoke!
"Phew..." Naruto took a deep breath. "Next."
He took the Amber Purifying Pot from a scroll and opened its lid. The Strange Fruit he had duplicated and stored inside had turned into nectar, which he poured straight into his mouth!
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...!
Steam rose from Naruto's body. All the vitality he had lost returned, and... reached an unprecedented peak!
Putting away the Amber Purifying Pot, Naruto struck his palm with his fist, an eager smile curling his lips. "Let's go, Sasuke!"
Sasuke stepped forward, holding the Gunbai in his right hand and the Kusanagi Sword in his left.
Whoosh!
The two charged in alternating bursts, launching a fierce frontal assault on Indra!
"You're finally done with your tricks! Good, then I'll fight you fair and square!"
Indra's severed arm swiftly regenerated, and he formed hand seals!
-Six Paths: Mahayana Thunder Art!
Dark clouds gathered overhead, unleashing an endless barrage of lightning!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With ghostlike footwork, Naruto dodged three consecutive bolts. Rolling across the ground, he grabbed a Flying Thunder Kunai!
-Ōmononushi!
The kunai multiplied into thousands, allowing Naruto to move freely through the falling lightning!
Sasuke focused his right eye.
-Takemikazuchi!
Every bolt bearing down on him miraculously changed its point
