The purple giant, tens of meters tall, enveloping Imperial Sasuke's body begins to swell uncontrollably.
Fifty meters! One hundred meters! Two hundred meters! Two hundred fifty meters!
It only stops after the purple giant surpasses two hundred fifty meters. Then, its entire body solidifies into an energy armor, and beneath its two arms, two additional arms form.
Among its six arms, a sword, spear, katana, crescent moon spear, bow, and whip appear—six types of weapons.
Blazing black flames engulf the giant's armor and weapons.
The surrounding space continuously distorts.
The ground, unable to withstand the immense pressure, cracks like a spiderweb, spreading far into the distance.
In an instant, a terrifying pressure sweeps in all directions.
Team Seven, watching from the sidelines, trembles all over, clutching their pounding hearts as if they might leap from their chests, staring in disbelief at the colossal deity and Imperial Sasuke within the crystal on its forehead!
"This Sasuke, why does he have to get so serious?! Even using this technique—poor little Naruto has no chance of winning now! But this technique, no matter how many times I see it, is still terrifying! It's truly a power no human should possess!" Imperial Kiba stares at the colossal deity in awe.
"Ooooh! This is Sasuke's strongest Susano'o! So awesome! Absolutely incredible!" Imperial Lee shouts.
"This is the power of youth!" Imperial Guy yells.
"What… is this?" Sakura mutters, trembling all over.
"Is this still human? How can a human have such power? Why are the people of the Empire so terrifying?" Sai's forehead drips with cold sweat, his entire body drenched in seconds.
"Even the Kyuubi… couldn't be this strong, right?" Yamato's voice trembles.
"This is Sasuke's true power: Perfect Susano'o – Six-Armed Indra Mode!" Imperial Naruto says with a faint smile.
"Perfect Susano'o – Six-Armed Indra Mode… is this the power of a god?" Yamato whispers.
"God? Of course not! In the entire Empire, the only one worthy of being called a god is His Majesty the Emperor! For His Majesty, this is merely someone slightly stronger." Imperial Naruto says, his expression turning slightly fanatical when mentioning Ryuji, his eyes showing a hint of nostalgia and shock.
"The only god, the Shinobi Emperor? Just how strong is His Majesty's power? To think a god-like existence before our eyes is only considered slightly stronger?" Yamato murmurs, his heart deeply unsettled.
The Emperor of the Shinobi Empire, stronger than the god-like giant before them? Just how terrifying is that?
This answer might be impossible to know.
But he's certain that one person could sweep the entire ninja world!
"So… opposing the Empire is completely impossible. Then, I must do my utmost to persuade the daimyo and Kage to join the Empire."
"Fighting will only lead to death! There's no doubt about it!"
Sakura, Yamato, and Sai from Team Seven think in unison.
"Gulp."
Naruto holding his Skylight Rasenshuriken, looks up at the colossal deity before him, swallowing hard.
"Is this… the true power of arrogant Sasuke?"
As he speaks, his body instinctively trembles.
This feeling is even more helpless than when he first faced Orochimaru.
"Correct! This is my true power: Perfect Susano'o – Six-Armed Indra Mode, fused with Amaterasu, True Qi, and spiritual energy. It has the power to destroy everything. Under this power, feel how small you are, Uzumaki Naruto!"
As Imperial Sasuke speaks, the Perfect Susano'o – Six-Armed Indra Mode slowly raises the giant sword in one of its right arms, places it before its chest, and swings it forcefully.
*BOOM!*
The devastating slash shatters the air.
A ferocious, overwhelming storm surges, blasting Naruto backward. All his Shadow Clones explode instantly, and the Skylight Rasenshuriken in his hand hurtles into the distance with the storm!
Further away, the Empire's experts each use their own methods to withstand the storm.
"Uwaaaaaaa!"
The storm rages on, and Naruto feels himself flying backward.
Around him, fallen trees, dirt, and dust swirl.
He screams in pain until he lands in a warm embrace.
The ferocious storm finally dissipates.
Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing he sees is Imperial Minato's gentle smile.
Then, looking around, his pupils shrink again as he sees the Perfect Susano'o – Six-Armed Indra Mode!
The direction of the opponent's sword swing!
The once-endless forest is mostly reduced to rubble.
An area spanning tens of thousands of meters long and a thousand meters wide has turned into barren land, with black flames fiercely burning the ground, thick smoke billowing, rising into the sky.
Even further, Naruto sees several flattened mountain peaks! Their fractured surfaces glow red-hot!
"…"
Naruto falls silent, unable to speak for a long time.
"You okay, Naruto?" Imperial Minato asks with slight concern.
"Is this… really a power humans should have?" Naruto mutters.
"Ordinary people, of course not, but who said Sasuke's ordinary?" Imperial Minato smiles bitterly.
Then, looking at the destroyed forest with a hint of helplessness, he says, "Sasuke went way overboard this time. An area this large—the repair team's gonna be busy… It was just a spar; did it need to go this far?"
"Big Brother Naruto, can he really fight Sasuke like that?"
Naruto gazes at the colossal deity from afar, still dazed.
"Of course, little Naruto! The power of martial arts is far greater than you imagine! Watch closely—the true power of muscular martial arts. Don't blink!" Imperial Naruto, appearing beside Naruto at some point, flashes his gleaming white teeth, showing off his muscles.
"Martial Arts – Ten Dragons, Ten Elephants! 100% Power Release! Hah!"
Imperial Naruto spreads his arms wide.
His clothes explode into countless fragments, scattering. His body rapidly swells, growing from just over two meters to three meters tall.
His muscles bulge, veins like earthworms coiling over his body. His shoulder blades protrude sharply, like two small volcanoes, spewing a terrifying blood-red aura.
The once-gentle big brother Imperial Naruto instantly transforms into a fearsome demon god!
He breathes in and out slowly, each breath releasing a high-level storm.
Seeing Imperial Naruto like this, Naruto finds it harder to breathe, his body weak, barely able to lift his hands or move his legs.
"Naruto! Don't overdo it! Stop!" Imperial Minato says, slightly out of breath.
"Relax, Dad! I won't be reckless like Sasuke. Besides, this is a chance to truly open little Naruto's eyes! To show him how strong martial arts are! Little Naruto, watch closely! Martial Arts – Ten Dragons, Ten Elephants – Azure Sky Fist!"
Imperial Naruto says, slowly pulling his right fist to his waist, then suddenly unleashing it toward the sky!
