Watching Chouza walk away and Kakashi standing there like a statue, Sasuke barely held back a sarcastic comment. He took a deep breath and looked at Guy.
This guy is just Kakashi in a Guy costume!
This guy is just Kakashi in a Guy costume!!
This guy is just Kakashi in a Guy costume!!!
Alright, brainwashing complete.
Sasuke's gaze toward Guy finally returned to normal. "Bushy Brow Sensei, leave the enemy to us. You guys just focus on preparing the sealing jutsu for the Nine-Tails."
Guy was silent for a moment, then looked at Sasuke deeply. "Are you sure? The enemy is pretty strong, and they have the Nine-Tails on their side…"
"Wait."
Suddenly, Guy thought of something and turned to Naruto with a thoughtful look. "If you're the Naruto from another world, does that mean you also have a Nine-Tails sealed inside you?"
"Yep." Naruto nodded. "But Kurama is busy and can't come out to help right now. And even if he could, we'd definitely win, but… well, there wouldn't be a Konohagakure left afterward."
Tailed Beast Bomb! Tailed Beast Bomb Barrage! Six Paths Sage Art: Tailed Beast Bomb!
So, does Konohagakure still want to exist or not?
Guy glanced at the Nine-Tails ahead, then nodded. "You have a point."
Yeah, keeping the village intact is more important. So, the Nine-Tails should probably stay out of this.
With that in mind, Guy turned to the two of them. "Alright then, we'll leave the enemy to you. If you need help, just say the word—we'll be standing by for support."
"Yeah, staying far away would be the best way to help."
Sasuke didn't hold back at all.
Seeing Guy fall silent, Naruto scratched his head awkwardly. "What Sasuke means is… our battle is going to affect the surroundings a lot, so it'd be best if you guys kept your distance."
"I understand."
Guy nodded without saying much else. He simply grabbed a still-confused Kakashi and turned to leave.
No hesitation at all.
Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead as he watched them walk away. "Sasuke, you don't have to sound so aggressive."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I could hear the sarcasm in his tone. And with Kurama's sensory ability, I'm sure you could sense their distrust too. They clearly never trusted us from the start."
Naruto scratched his head but didn't respond.
It was true—he had sensed some hostility from Bushy Brow Sensei. But it wasn't intense hostility, just caution and wariness toward them.
Which made sense. If they trusted them too easily, that would be even weirder.
Naruto sighed as he watched Guy's figure in the distance. "They probably just want to test our attitude. Until they're sure we aren't a threat to Konohagakure, they won't let their guard down."
"Yeah."
Sasuke cracked his neck, not bothering to continue the conversation. Instead, he turned his gaze to the two figures in black cloaks—Naruto and Sasuke from the other side.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. We can continue the fight now."
Then, the corner of Sasuke's mouth curled up. "Or… are you guys finally ready?"
Black-cloaked Sasuke glanced at black-cloaked Naruto, silently asking a question with his eyes.
Black-cloaked Naruto clicked his tongue. "It's a bit rushed, but… it's enough."
With that, he formed a hand seal, and chakra erupted from his body.
"Summoning Technique: Nine-Faced Subhāva!"
A strange formation spread out in the sky. At nine different points, the words 'Azure, White, Vermilion, Black, Void, South, North, Three, and Jade' seemed to take shape. As chakra surged, nine bizarre creatures stepped out from the formation and landed beside black-cloaked Naruto.
"Huh~" Sasuke made a sound as if unimpressed.
Black-cloaked Naruto grinned. "If you don't stop them, they'll start a massacre in Konohagakure."
Sasuke's face darkened, and his eyes turned cold.
In the next moment, the massive Nine-Tails suddenly lashed out, raising its right claw high before slamming it down toward Sasuke.
Seeing this, Naruto instinctively prepared to activate Six Paths Mode, but before he could gather his chakra, a brilliant purple light shot into the sky. A towering, third-stage Susano'o took form, standing firm on the battlefield, blocking the Nine-Tails' attack with a crimson Totsuka Blade.
Sasuke turned his head slightly to look at Naruto, his eyes flashing purple and red. "Naruto, leave these two to me. You go handle those nine monsters."
Naruto sighed. "Man, I wanted to fight too."
"If we both fought together, it'd just be bullying." Sasuke smirked. "Anyway, Kurama said we still have an hour, so take it easy. After this, we still have to go save Konoha."
Naruto thought about it and had to agree. "Alright then. Just be careful not to wreck this Konoha."
"Relax, I have way better control over my power than you do." Sasuke's voice was calm and confident.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Naruto muttered under his breath before forming a hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Nine shadow clones appeared alongside Naruto, making a total of ten. Without hesitation, the clones muttered something to Sasuke before rushing off toward the nine monsters. Meanwhile, Naruto's real body backed away, leaving the battlefield to Sasuke.
With Naruto gone, Sasuke rolled his wrist and looked at the Nine-Tails. "Well, I could just use Genjutsu to control you directly, but—"
"That wouldn't be any fun. Kurama still needs some time, so I might as well play around a bit."
As if hearing Sasuke's words, the black-cloaked versions of Naruto and Sasuke both darkened with irritation, and even the usually mild-tempered Nine-Tails radiated a dangerous aura.
Even she had to admit—this guy had the Rinnegan. He really could control her if he wanted to.
"You think you can take on all three of us at once?! Where do you get that kind of confidence?!"
As the third-stage Susano'o and the Nine-Tails clashed in a battle of strength, black-cloaked Naruto and black-cloaked Sasuke leaped off the beast's back.
Black-cloaked Naruto held a Rasenshuriken in his hand, while black-cloaked Sasuke activated a Susano'o identical in color to Sasuke's and came crashing down from above.
Sasuke glanced at them briefly. "A Rasenshuriken and a second-stage Susano'o?"
"Heh, that's it?"
The moment he finished speaking, an immense surge of power erupted. The third-stage Susano'o suddenly grew, rising tens of meters into the sky as it transformed into its fourth stage.
With a powerful swing, the fully evolved Susano'o forced the Nine-Tails back, then unleashed a combination of lightning in one hand and Amaterasu in the other, striking both black-cloaked Naruto and black-cloaked Sasuke at the same time.
The overwhelming force exploded without restraint. At the moment of impact, the two figures were sent flying back at incredible speed, crashing into the ground and leaving behind two massive craters.
"This power…!"
The Susano'o around black-cloaked Sasuke had already shattered. His face was filled with shock as he stared at Sasuke, unable to believe what he had just seen.
"Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?! Impossible! You have the Rinnegan! Without a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, there's no way you could activate the fourth stage of Susano'o!"
Hearing this, Sasuke simply chuckled. "Sounds like you don't know much. But I guess I can be nice and explain it to you."
He pointed at his Rinnegan. "This eye evolved from the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—it's a Tomoe Rinnegan, with visual powers surpassing an ordinary Rinnegan."
A smirk formed on Sasuke's lips. "Oh, and just so you know… Since one of my Mangekyou Sharingan evolved into a Rinnegan, both of my original Mangekyou abilities have now been concentrated into my remaining eye. And my Rinnegan… has awakened a third ability."
"It's called… Amenotejikara."
Before black-cloaked Sasuke could even process those words, he suddenly realized—
The Sasuke who had been standing far away was now right in front of him, having instantly crossed space and time.
It was only when Sasuke appeared before him that his words finally reached black-cloaked Sasuke's ears.
"It's a space-time jutsu."
