Such terrifying chakra fluctuations.
The ninjas involved in the battle are extremely powerful.
Even the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya and Tsunade, cannot ignore such a strong presence.
Who is it?!
The two of them rushed out immediately.
However, while they were talking...
At the same time, on the other side of the small town.
After parting ways with Orochimaru, Sasuke prepared to find something to eat.
After all, since coming from the Sound Village, Sasuke had hardly eaten anything.
He was racing against time, trying to catch up with Tsunade, but finding her wasn't so easy.
Now Sasuke was indeed a bit hungry.
However!
When Sasuke went to find something to eat, he encountered the last person he wanted to see.
Inside a ramen shop.
Sasuke had just started eating his ramen, but soon, a figure sat next to him.
"I should say! I'm so glad to see you're fine, or should I say, I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"
"Sasuke!"
Sasuke paused for a moment as he heard that familiar voice.
He slowly put down what he was holding.
Sasuke turned to look at Naruto beside him.
To be honest, before coming to find Tsunade, Sasuke had a feeling he might run into Naruto.
But thinking about it, the current situation was different from the original story. If he moved quickly, he would definitely avoid running into Naruto.
He didn't expect this, perhaps it was the power of fate!
It was just too helpless.
"Want a bowl?"
Sasuke spoke.
Looking at the ramen in front of Sasuke, Naruto nodded, "Then I'll have a bowl!"
Two steaming bowls of ramen were placed in front of them, and Sasuke and Naruto slowly ate their ramen.
"How have you been recently?"
Naruto spoke, and the two seemed to return to the days of Team 7.
This feeling made Sasuke pause for a moment.
"I've been fine."
"Really!" Naruto had expected Sasuke to say he wasn't doing well.
But Sasuke's answer made Naruto feel as if his heart had dropped to the bottom.
He became even more upset.
"Finish up! Let's go back together!"
"No need!"
"Why not return to Konoha?"
"What's the point of going back?"
"You... You could become a strong ninja, the greatest genius in Konoha, but why..."
"I'll do whatever I want. Do I need a reason?"
"Sasuke, about your brother... I..."
"That doesn't matter to me!"
So what if they exterminated the clan?
The current Sasuke Uchiha was not the same as the old Sasuke Uchiha.
The revenge techniques Itachi used on Sasuke were no longer effective.
However, the more Sasuke said it didn't matter, the more Naruto could empathize.
He felt Sasuke was saying this because he had been too consumed by hatred.
The two fell into a brief silence.
But meals always come to an end.
Sasuke put down his chopsticks and lightly exhaled.
Naruto also stopped.
"Let's go."
"Back to Konoha?"
"Ah! Sakura..."
"No, I can't go back."
Before he could finish, Naruto gently sighed.
But he wouldn't give up. "If you don't go back, I'll force you. No matter what, I won't let you leave Konoha like this!"
Sasuke smiled.
"It seems like in just a few days, you've changed a lot, Naruto!"
Naruto nodded. "Indeed, I've changed a lot. To catch up to you, I had to use some special methods. So, the me now is different!"
Sasuke smiled. "So you think you've caught up to me?"
"Maybe not surpassed you, but I've definitely caught up to you!"
Naruto spoke confidently.
He nodded slightly. "Then let's give it a try!"
Sasuke said with a smile.
Their gazes met.
The calm lasted for just a second, and then Sasuke and Naruto both stood up and walked toward the door of the shop.
Outside.
Naruto asked one last time, "Are you really not going to agree?"
"Come back to Konoha with me, and our Team 7 can be just like before..."
"Boring ninja games. I don't want to play them anymore, Naruto!"
After saying that, Sasuke raised his hand and beckoned to Naruto.
As arrogant as ever.
Although this gesture was quite arrogant, Naruto felt it was very familiar.
The next second, Naruto's gaze became sharp.
His aura changed in an instant.
At this moment, Sasuke also felt it.
He could tell it was different.
The Naruto now gave off a completely different feeling.
Chakra erupted from his body, and the intense chakra waves surged like a tidal wave.
'Is this the body of the Uzumaki clan!'
'It's really monstrous, like a freak!'
Sasuke smiled.
This amount of chakra was already dozens of times more than his.
And the fact that Naruto could easily release this level of chakra meant that he... Perhaps no longer needed to suppress the Nine-Tails with his own chakra!
If that was the case, then Naruto had truly not only caught up to him, but perhaps even surpassed him!
This was completely different from the original story.
Had Naruto already become the perfect Jinchuriki ahead of time?
"Come on!"
"Sasuke!"
Naruto's roar rang out.
The next second, he charged at Sasuke. Although his speed wasn't incredibly fast,
Naruto's fist had already swung out, a powerful blow filled with chakra waves, aimed directly at Sasuke's face.
Sasuke didn't dodge, raising his hand and throwing a punch back with equal force.
The moment their fists collided, the chakra waves from the impact exploded.
A terrifying chakra storm erupted, shaking the entire town violently.
At that moment, Orochimaru had just arrived at the restaurant where Tsunade had entered.
The next second, feeling the chakra storm,
Orochimaru was quite surprised!
'Who is Sasuke fighting...'
Before Orochimaru could figure it out, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had just come out of the restaurant, collided with him.
The three ninjas reunited, but in such a situation.
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with some surprise, then glanced at Tsunade.
He didn't expect Jiraiya to appear in such a place at this time.
This was... interesting!
