As soon as the fight began, the entire room was thrown into chaos.
Danzo cunningly retreated a few steps, approaching the corridor entrance.
From here, he could immediately escape at any time and also get the fastest reinforcements from the Kage and the Land of Iron samurai forces. Truly a calculated move.
"Hokage-sama, should we intervene?"
Danzo's bodyguard, Fuu, asked in a low voice.
"No need. Let them fight first. You guys stay alert; Sasuke has joined Akatsuki, there might be other enemies hiding around. Don't let your guard down."
"Understood!"
Danzo continued to observe Sasuke with narrowed eyes.
They said Itachi was finally defeated by Sasuke?
Danzo doubted the truth of this information, so this was a good opportunity to test Sasuke's strength through Naruto.
For him, this was just a dog-eat-dog fight; he wouldn't lose anything regardless of the outcome.
The advantage was in his hands!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, the fight between Sasuke and Naruto intensified.
Naruto, who had activated Sage Mode, was clearly superior in terms of strength and speed compared to Sasuke.
With Frog Kumite, he avoided Sasuke's Sharingan predictions, then used the surrounding natural energy to attack and send Sasuke flying far away.
Sasuke landed roughly, not understanding how Naruto could have hit him.
Similar to his curse mark power from before, but it felt purer and higher level?
But that didn't matter.
What mattered was that Sasuke truly felt the significant difference in Naruto after activating Sage Mode!
'Is this the power that defeated Pain? Good, let's prove which is stronger: your power or the power of the Uchiha!'
Sasuke's competitive spirit flared, and he immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and summoned Susano'o.
But at that very moment, a Naruto clone appeared in front of him.
"Push—!!"
The Naruto clone attacked with a powerful punch to Susano'o's bone structure, until his own arm broke, then turned into white smoke.
"Fool! The power of the Uchiha is not something you can contend with..."
Sasuke laughed loudly, very confident in his Susano'o.
"Senpou: Odama Rasengan!"
A giant Rasengan ball, larger than Susano'o's skeleton, burst through the exploding clone's smoke, directly hitting Susano'o's body.
Clearly, the clone was just a decoy; the real attack was this giant Rasengan!
Naruto always had extraordinary fighting instincts, able to quickly analyze the opponent's weaknesses in the midst of intense combat. Throughout the world, his ability was truly above average.
*BAM!*
The Odama Rasengan directly broke through Susano'o's bone defense and struck Sasuke.
Fortunately, Naruto held back his strength, and most of the energy was absorbed by Susano'o. But this attack still sent Sasuke flying violently, crashing into a wall dozens of meters away.
The impact was so strong that it created a large hole in the wall.
"Cough—!"
Sasuke spat out blood, clearly injured.
'This speed and power! Naruto, you've become this strong?!'
Sasuke was incredibly shocked, realizing he had underestimated Naruto now. This guy couldn't be measured by ordinary standards!
What angered him even more was that he clearly felt Naruto intentionally holding back his strength!
As a proud Uchiha, he didn't need anyone's mercy!
Especially not from Naruto!
That damn loser!
Sasuke wiped the blood from his mouth, his anger exploding, and he immediately activated the full power of his left Mangekyou Sharingan.
Amaterasu!
Instantly, Naruto's feet in the distance were engulfed in the black flames of Amaterasu.
Amaterasu appearing meant Sasuke truly intended to kill Naruto.
Previously, they had both been holding back, but as things heated up, they lost control.
*POFF!*
The Naruto hit by Amaterasu turned out to explode, just a clone.
From the white smoke, three more Narutos appeared, while the real body hid behind the clones, wary of the next Amaterasu attack.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Seeing this, Sakura screamed hysterically:
"Stop it, don't continue this fight!"
She was afraid that if Naruto and Sasuke continued fighting, one of them would be harmed. But both were too emotional, completely ignoring Sakura.
Naruto was still more self-aware than Sasuke.
"Sasuke, stop! You can't defeat me now, if this continues, I won't be able to save you!"
"Naruto! Shut up! Why are you always getting in my way? Just die!"
Sasuke jumped down from the hole in the wall, his anger reaching its peak.
He ignored the heavy burden of the Mangekyou Sharingan, directly unleashing its full power.
Susano'o appeared again, even immediately entering its second form, with flesh and clothing, even wielding a bow and arrow!
Susano'o drew the bow, aiming at Naruto, a chakra arrow began to form, simultaneously gathering the black flames of Amaterasu which changed shape, increasing the arrow's power and speed.
Naruto felt a tremor of danger, truly sensing Sasuke's killing intent.
He could no longer hold back, extending one hand, his clones rubbed their hands together, forming a rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken with a buzzing sound.
Both of them, one wanting to kill Danzo, the other wanting to save Sasuke.
Both knew time was precious, unintentionally using their strongest moves.
Enton: Kagutsuchi no Ya!
Senpou: Fuuton Rasenshuriken!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
This sight was not frightening for Naruto and Sasuke, but it made the others around them panic.
Especially Kakashi, who knew the power of the Rasenshuriken very well.
Whether Sasuke could withstand it or not.
But if their attacks exploded inside this room, the entire fortress could collapse! Many people would be buried alive!
'Damn it! I can't let them keep fighting!'
Kakashi was very panicked; as a teacher, he kept letting his two students kill each other. How shameful!
To stop Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi could no longer hold back, immediately opening his eye patch, activating his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kamui!
Suigetsu, who was blocking Kakashi, suddenly felt his body distort and couldn't resist.
"What the hell—!"
In just a moment, Suigetsu was cut in two by Kamui, his Kubikiribocho also broken...
After defeating Suigetsu, Kakashi didn't have time to face Juugo on the other side.
He immediately looked towards Naruto.
At this moment, Naruto's Rasenshuriken and Sasuke's fire arrow had already been launched.
The black arrow and the blue-white Rasenshuriken collided violently!
