Watching the disappearing figure of Naruto, Sasuke shrugged helplessly.
"Lord Sasuke, where does he want you to go?" Kimimaro asked.
Turning to look in the direction of Konoha, Sasuke glanced that way.
"The Valley of the End!"
The Valley of the End was a na not unfamiliar to the shinobi world. After all, it was the place where the God of Shinobi once fought against that man. The terrifying aftermath of their battle directly carved out a massive canyon here, making it a famous landmark.
However!
Being located in the wilderness, few people ever visited this place. At most, shinobi across the world knew of its existence.
"Why go to this place?" Jūgo asked curiously.
Sasuke replied impatiently, "Who knows? Let's go!"
With that, Sasuke levitated into the air. The ability to float was nothing remarkable for Sasuke now. Similarly, it was no longer a challenge for Kimimaro and Jūgo, as they had also mastered this skill.
But for Jūgo, who was using the floating ability for the first ti, it felt fresh and exciting, like suddenly growing a third arm yet being able to control it effortlessly.
Watching Jūgo enjoying himself, Kimimaro sighed in exasperation.
"Alright... Jūgo, hurry up and follow Lord Sasuke!"
"Got it! Coming!"
With that, Jūgo put away his playful attitude and swiftly flew toward Sasuke's direction.
At this mont, the figures of the three streaked across the sky.
Naruto was also not far ahead.
However, their paths diverged slightly, crossing each other in the air.
anwhile, down below, the Sage of Six Paths watched them.
"It seems Naruto still hasn't succeeded."
The Sage of Six Paths felt troubled. He had no way to deal with Sasuke now, as he had already entrusted all his power to Naruto. Ultimately, everything depended on Naruto.
"Alright... let's go back. No matter what happens to this world, it's not sothing we, who are already dead, should interfere with."
The Sage of Six Paths spoke, but at this mont, Hashirama and the others' expressions changed.
"Lord Sage, we indeed shouldn't interfere, but... could we at least watch this battle before..."
Hashirama said, and hearing this, the others nodded in agreent.
Standing here were not just Hashirama and the others, but also the Fourth Kazekage, the Third Raikage, the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, and others. Even the Fourth Raikage and Gaara had awakened.
Orochimaru stood to the side, smiling faintly.
The Sage of Six Paths looked at their expectant gazes.
"Fine, I also want to see if Naruto can succeed in the end."
With that, the Sage of Six Paths perford an unknown technique, and everyone instantly disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already at the Valley of the End.
As the Valley of the End ca into view, everyone realized they had arrived at a hill overlooking the valley.
Naruto had already landed on one of the statues, standing atop Hashirama's likeness.
Seeing this, Hashirama felt a sense of nostalgia, recalling his decisive battle with Madara here.
Everyone watched as Sasuke descended from the sky, landing on the opposite side.
Both Sasuke and Naruto possessed the ability to fly, which no one found particularly surprising. However, the fact that Kimimaro and Jūgo behind Sasuke also seed to have this ability made people start to wonder.
"These two... why do they suddenly feel so powerful?"
The Third Raikage frowned. As a Kage-level shinobi, he could instinctively sense the terrifying aura emanating from the two. Their power seed to have surpassed that of Kage-level shinobi.
Sasuke and Naruto, being beyond human, surpassing Kage-level was expected. But what about these two? Had surpassing Kage-level beco so easy now?
"Their auras... seem similar to Mother's."
The Sage of Six Paths also frowned. After all, such a thing... was not common!
Previously, the two had no such aura, but now... sothing had clearly changed. It was impossible for them to have achieved this on their own. The only explanation was that Sasuke... had sohow transford them.
'The Ōtsutsuki clan!'
The mont Hashirama thought of this na, he felt uneasy. He never imagined the truth about the shinobi world's origins was like that!
Now, standing atop the statues of Hashirama and Madara, Sasuke and Naruto faced each other, their gazes colliding, sparks flying in the air.
"Sasuke... I'll ask you one last ti. Can't you... just stop?"
"Stop? Stop and wait for death?"
Naruto exhaled lightly. It was clear that words alone were useless. The only option left was to fight.
At that mont, a storm erupted.
The chakra from both of them exploded, creating shockwaves that spread out. In an instant, a fierce storm clashed.
Even though they hadn't yet made a move, the sheer intensity of their chakra had already stirred up a storm. This level of battle left everyone stunned from the very beginning.
"Sasuke!"
Suddenly, Naruto's voice echoed throughout the Valley of the End.
At that mont, everyone turned their attention to Naruto.
"We've fought many tis before. To be precise, I've challenged you many tis!"
"The first ti, during the Chunin Exams, I lost!"
"The second and third tis, for various reasons, the fights never reached a conclusion!"
"But I know, if those battles had gone to the end, I would have lost again!"
"Never... never have I won against you!"
"But today, this ti, I will definitely win, Sasuke..."
Naruto's voice was filled with unwavering determination.
Yet, Sasuke only smiled faintly.
Winning against him now was impossible. If it were his past self, Naruto might have had a chance.
"For Sakura!"
?
The smile on Sasuke's face suddenly disappeared.
For Sakura?
What kind of joke was this? Did this an the winner would beco Hokage, and the loser would marry Sakura?
No way.
If that were the case, Sasuke absolutely could not lose this ti, no matter what!
"Rasengan!"
"Chidori!"
Sasuke and Naruto spoke simultaneously.
On one side was the swirling sound of chakra, and on the other, the roaring thunder of lightning!
Both sounds erupted at the sa ti, and in that instant, the two leaped into the air.
Swinging their techniques, they charged at each other with full force!
