Naruto's eyes widened, and without any hesitation, he manipulated the chakra chains to strangle Sasuke.
"Hmph."
The two Sasukes chuckled simultaneously. One stepped forward to meet the chakra chains, while the other swiftly eliminated the nearby shadow clone with a sword and retreated.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The chakra chains pierced through the approaching Sasuke and continued at high speed toward the real Sasuke.
At the same time, Naruto's remaining shadow clones moved in, accelerating to surround him.
"This must be the Adamantine Sealing Chains," Sasuke said, watching the red chakra chains in the air. "It'd be troublesome to get caught."
"That's right!" Naruto shouted proudly. "In an instant, I can seal your movements! You've lost, Sasuke!"
"Too bad." Sasuke quickly dodged the chakra chains. "I've seen stronger chains than this."
"What?" Seeing the chains miss repeatedly, Naruto hurriedly directed his shadow clones to block Sasuke. "Catch him now!"
"Yeah!!" The shadow clones approached again, closing in on Sasuke without leaving any gaps.
Sasuke's footsteps quickened, and for a moment, several afterimages appeared simultaneously. Then, seizing the opportunity, he immediately formed hand signs.
"Bang!"
In the original spot, only a piece of wood wrapped in chakra chains was left. Sasuke had vanished.
"Damn! It's the Substitution Jutsu!" Naruto shouted in frustration and reluctantly retracted the chakra chains.
However, just as he did so, Sasuke's voice suddenly rang out again.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A blazing sea of flames erupted, engulfing both Naruto and his shadow clones.
"Naruto!" Sakura, watching from a distance, screamed in panic and quickly turned to the two adults. "Fourth Hokage, Kakashi-sensei…"
"Don't worry," Minato turned to her with a reassuring smile. "Naruto will be fine."
As he spoke, a beastly roar echoed, and an extraordinarily powerful chakra suddenly erupted from the sea of flames.
Sasuke jumped from behind a tree to a branch in front and looked down. The powerful chakra had already materialized, and the shockwave from its eruption was dispersing the surrounding intense flames.
Naruto was on all fours, his body wrapped in a red Tailed Beast Cloak, with two long tails waving behind him.
"Sasuke!!"
Naruto raised his head, his beastly red eyes glaring at him, and sharp fangs emerged from his mouth.
"Hey! Are you still conscious?" Sasuke frowned and glanced at Minato, the referee standing in the distance.
"Of course! What are you looking at?"
However, Naruto had already leapt into the air, extending his right hand, which had sharp claws. The red chakra transformed into a massive beast claw that quickly stretched toward Sasuke.
Sasuke dodged and jumped to another tree, while the tree behind him was shredded by Naruto's chakra beast claw.
"Tch."
Sasuke turned to see Naruto rapidly bouncing between tree trunks, using all four limbs to close the distance with incredible speed.
"Now this is more like it."
Sasuke smiled as purple markings began to appear on his face, and his aura surged.
"What's that?" Minato looked up at Sasuke in surprise. "Sage Art Cursed Seal? So, even the living can use it?"
"It's probably Orochimaru's doing again," Kakashi remarked nonchalantly.
'Damn, I wish I had something like that.' Kakashi couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy.
"Luckily, Naruto has awakened the Adamantine Sealing Chains," Minato smiled in relief again. "He's adapting well to the Nine-Tails' chakra."
With the Cursed Seal active, Sasuke's power increased dramatically. In an instant, he appeared above Naruto and slammed his right leg down at him.
Naruto looked up, his gaze intense, and crossed his arms to block the kick. However, he underestimated Sasuke's strength and was sent crashing down to the ground like a cannonball. While falling, Naruto extended his chakra beast claw again, which stretched out rapidly. After Sasuke dodged, the claw grabbed onto a tree trunk, pulling Naruto back up before he hit the ground.
Now, Sasuke stood on top of the tree trunk horizontally, while Naruto clung to the middle of the trunk with all four limbs. Their eyes met once again.
"Sasuke!!!"
Naruto bared his fangs and roared, the red chakra around him bubbling like boiling water as a third tail emerged behind him.
"Naruto! You've really gotten stronger!" Sasuke smiled excitedly, the tomoe in his eyes spinning faster and becoming blurred. "But unfortunately, it's impossible for you to surpass me!"
"What did you say, you arrogant Sasuke!!" Naruto furiously punched the tree trunk, causing wood splinters to fly everywhere.
"Because…" Sasuke activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and a strange spiritual power spread instantly. "I now possess these even more powerful eyes."
"So what!" Naruto began to gather energy, "We already knew that last time!"
"No, you don't understand." Sasuke smiled mysteriously. "Do you remember why, after you went berserk last time, Kakashi stepped in between us?"
Naruto thought about it for a moment and vaguely recalled it happening when they were chasing after Deidara.
"Why?" he asked directly.
"Because of these eyes." Sasuke touched his lower eyelid, his devilish eyes radiating cold power. "These eyes can easily control Tailed Beasts."
"No way!" Naruto shouted in shock.
"It's true," Sasuke said confidently. "So right now, you have no chance of winning, Naruto."
"I don't believe you!!" Naruto growled, his sharp claws digging deep into the rough bark of the tree. "I'll beat you!"
"Then let me show you."
Sasuke smirked as the intricate patterns in his eyes began to spin slowly.
"What?"
Naruto's vision went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing beside Sasuke in front of the Nine-Tails' sealed gate.
Naruto quickly jumped back in shock, pointing at Sasuke with a trembling finger.
"What's going on! This is my sealed space! How did you get in here?"
"Hmph!"
Sasuke turned his head, and his sinister eyes sent a wave of immense pressure toward Naruto.
"Didn't I say? I'll let you experience it, so you'll know that I was telling the truth."
"Uchiha brat!!!"
With a roar of rage, the massive head of the Nine-Tails emerged from the darkness behind the gate.
"Damn Uchiha!!!"
The Nine-Tails' beastly red eyes glared at Sasuke with hatred, its sharp fangs bared, and saliva dripping from its mouth.
"So, this is the Nine-Tails."
Sasuke raised his head and fearlessly stared back at it.
"What the heck is going on!!!" Naruto jumped in front of Sasuke, waving his arms in frustration. "Tell me what's happening!"
"Naruto, you useless brat!!!" The Nine-Tails roared angrily. "You brought an Uchiha with the Mangekyo Sharingan to stand before me!"
"Now you understand, Naruto," Sasuke said calmly. "Even the Nine-Tails fears these eyes."
Naruto stared blankly at Sasuke's eyes, unable to find the words to respond.
Sasuke turned his gaze to the Nine-Tails again. "Don't worry, I consider this guy somewhat of a friend. I won't do anything to you."
With that, Sasuke's figure gradually faded into the darkness.
