"Cough... Cough cough..."
Sasuke coughed twice as he lay on the ground, his face full of incomprehensible shock.
He didn't understand why this world's Naruto's Taijutsu could be so strong. He clearly hadn't shown any signs of opening The Eight Inner Gates, nor had he activated Sage Mode, nor used the Nine-Tails chakra...
Why is this guy so strong in his normal state? If he used the Nine-Tails chakra, wouldn't he be able to pin Otsutsuki Urashiki to the ground and hammer him? All those flashy skills, all useless. He only needs to rely on speed and strength to overpower violently, winning with just basic attacks.
"Sorry, sorry, I went a bit too hard just now, do you want to continue fighting?" Naruto took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Sasuke and paused to speak.
"Why is your Taijutsu... so strong?"
Adult Sasuke asked through clenched teeth.
"Well, because... my purity is higher than yours?"
Naruto pondered and replied.
His physical strength was indeed not low, but it wasn't enough to kick and shatter Susano'o with one blow. Even though this adult Sasuke's Susano'o was somewhat weaker, it was still the complete form of Susano'o, its final state.
The power of that kick was strong, mainly because Naruto used the Divine Walking Technique. With such speed, the attack's power was naturally formidable.
'Purity, again with purity, what exactly is this so-called purity? Is there some special cultivation of purity in this world?'
Adult Sasuke mused to himself.
"Your Susano'o is too weak. No matter how large it is, it's still fragile, with low defensive power. To me, it's like a purple plastic bag, it breaks with just a poke," Naruto said seriously to Sasuke.
"Purple... purple plastic bag?"
Sasuke was bewildered. This was the first time someone had described his Susano'o like that, but this guy was indeed strong enough to burst his Susano'o with one kick, so he had the right to say so.
He couldn't refute it.
This scene reminded Sasuke of the time he and Naruto fought Kaguya. Back then, Kaguya also shattered his complete Susano'o with the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. That meant Naruto's strike just now...
Was a Six Paths level Taijutsu attack!
Damn, a regular Six Paths level body?
And judging from this guy's expression and words, he seemed to have held back with that kick. So, this wasn't the full extent of this world's Naruto's strength? He even had more powerful forces he hadn't used?
Adult Sasuke's mentality was a bit shaken. He really couldn't accept being easily killed by a teenage Naruto, nor could he accept this guy's strength.
But Sasuke was no longer young, having been through many trials and tribulations, so his actual mentality wasn't completely broken. At most, it was just a bit hard to accept, feeling like he had lived half his life in vain.
No, to make Naruto realize the danger of Otsutsuki Urashiki and to regain some face for myself, I have to do something!
"Whoosh!"
Sasuke swung his sword in a slashing attack, but unsurprisingly, he hit nothing. He knew this was useless against Naruto. With normal means of attack, he couldn't even touch Naruto.
"Oh, you still want to fight?"
Naruto said with a smile, jumping to a spot not far away. He was also curious about what moves this adult Sasuke could still use, hoping for something interesting.
"Amaterasu!"
Suddenly, Sasuke unleashed his eye power, and black flames ignited on Naruto, burning fiercely. Yet even so, Sasuke didn't take it lightly.
Amaterasu might be set up as powerful, but it's actually hard to achieve direct results with it. The Naruto from another world had easily dispelled it with the Nine-Tails chakra, and Uchiha Madara simply had to remove his armor to deal with it. And with this Naruto's strength being so formidable, it was unlikely he couldn't handle Amaterasu.
"Interesting flames."
Naruto looked at the black flames burning on his arm's clothing, his expression amused, like a child who had found a fun new toy.
Sasuke didn't attack the body or use Amaterasu to burn the torso directly, indicating he was still holding back, not wanting to truly harm Naruto... although he felt Amaterasu might not be of much use to Naruto.
"Amaterasu, the undying flame of the eye technique."
Sasuke explained.
"Amaterasu, quite interesting."
Naruto watched the flames spreading on his arm's clothing, laughing even more joyfully. The Nine-Tails was a fire player, and now as an elemental creature, it would be strange if these flames were of any use to him.
"Absorb."
The black flames of Amaterasu quickly shrank and were absorbed into Naruto's body, as if consumed by the Preta Path, but in reality, it was the Nine-Tails inside Naruto that devoured them. Previously, he couldn't do this, but now, as an elemental being, the Nine-Tails has the ability to do so.
Elemental beings consuming elements is quite normal, right?
Although Amaterasu is a high-level flame created by the Mangekyou Sharingan, it cannot escape its essence as a flame. Moreover, Amaterasu is only unquenchable, not particularly high in rank, so it's not difficult for the Nine-Tails to absorb it.
"Ugh, what a strange taste, like eating a dish made from some kind of slime," the Nine-Tails commented.
...
"Absorbed it? And without the Rinnegan?" Sasuke was shocked to see this. He felt Naruto's ability to absorb flames was similar to the Otsutsuki clan, except this Naruto didn't have their Rinnegan and absorbed it directly with his body.
Is it Ninjutsu immunity?
Let me try again!
Sasuke quickly formed seals with one hand and channeled his chakra at top speed, then forcefully exhaled, "Fire Release-Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Still Fire Release?" Naruto smirked dismissively, casually raising a hand and said, "Absorb."
Amaterasu didn't work, and you're using a regular Fire Release?
Silly kid.
Without any surprise, Sasuke's Great Fireball Jutsu was instantly absorbed by Naruto, even faster than the absorption of Amaterasu. Sasuke still maintained the posture of exhaling flames, his face filled with astonishment.
Then...
'This brat is tricking me!'
Naruto instantly sensed that Sasuke was initiating a dojutsu because he sensed the fluctuation of Sasuke's eye technique, specifically from the Six Tomoe Rinnegan. His expression and technique were deceiving, just to create a momentary opening.
But...
Sasuke underestimated Naruto, who could move and perceive under the Divine Walking Technique. If he couldn't sense such subtle changes, he might have run into a wall using half of the Divine Walking Technique.
Should I dodge directly?
Naruto pondered for a moment. He felt that dodging might make the upcoming victory less interesting, so he decided to deliberately give Sasuke a chance to see what he would do next.
Interesting, what kind of dojutsu is it? I'm a bit curious about its effect! Hahaha!
