Kinshiki hurtled toward Naruto and Sasuke like a dump truck, roaring as he came.
"Hah-!"
Naruto gathered his strength, the senjutsu chakra around him almost solidifying as a massive fox head instantly appeared beside him.
Then came a crunch.
The golden fox's jaws snapped shut, its sharp teeth stabbing toward Kinshiki.
Clang-!
Pink shields appeared above and below Kinshiki, while Powi Shin flickered faintly behind him, as though mocking Naruto's feeble attack.
What a troublesome weapon.
But this is the perfect chance.
Sasuke suddenly appeared behind Kinshiki, a tomoe clearly visible in the center of his palm.
A tomoe symbolizing yin.
In front of Kinshiki, Naruto also raised his hand, a tomoe symbolizing yang quietly appearing.
Naruto first pressed his palm against Kinshiki's shoulder. Kinshiki was about to retaliate when, in the next instant, his body became unable to move.
He could not even turn intangible.
Behind him, Sasuke wore a smug expression, his eyes shining brilliantly.
When he had fought Naruto earlier, he had been so busy testing his new dōjutsu that he had not tested his upgraded Fleeting Beauty.
Now that he had tried it, it really worked well.
A smooth little combo was already prepared in his mind.
First, he would use Amenotejikara to pull a certain evil blond in front of him, then use Fleeting Beauty to freeze time before he could react.
Then he could do whatever he pleased.
At that thought, the corners of Sasuke's mouth rose involuntarily.
But he had not forgotten the task at hand, either. He pressed his palm against Kinshiki's other shoulder.
The next instant, time resumed its normal flow.
Kinshiki's pupils contracted sharply at the suddenly changed scene, and a brilliant bolt of purple lightning immediately erupted from his body.
But neither Naruto nor Sasuke stopped because of it.
