Naruto World, Team 7.
"So... so strong."
Sakura Haruno watched this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in wonder. She looked at Naruto and Sasuke in disbelief; both were so strong, far stronger than Kakashi-sensei and that Zabuza.
It was simply unbelievable because, in Sakura Haruno's heart, it was normal for Sasuke to be that strong.
But why was Naruto so strong? Although the two were teammates now, even Sakura Haruno could see it.
Sasuke's potential was much higher than Naruto's, and he had already awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan. Anyone who paid even a little attention in class knew that the earlier the Uchiha clan's Sharingan awakened, the greater the potential.
Now that Sasuke had awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, his future potential was bound to be high, so it was only natural for him to become strong.
As for Naruto... well, it wasn't that Sakura looked down on him, but at this stage, Naruto had only recently graduated from the Ninja Academy.
Sakura's impression of him was mostly that of a Dead-last, a prankster, someone with no ambition, constantly bothering her and Sasuke all day long, and so on.
"Yeah, so strong." Kakashi watched Naruto and Sasuke in the video and couldn't help but gasp, clearly shocked by their strength.
Naruto had perfectly mastered the Nine-Tails, while Sasuke had mastered the Susanoo used by the legendary Uchiha Madara, and he even had the Rinnegan... Their battle hadn't even reached its climax yet, but a casual blow landing on the ground possessed such terrifying destructive power.
Furthermore, according to what Sasuke and Naruto said in the video, they hadn't even gone all out yet; these were merely exploratory attacks.
This also left Kakashi feeling shocked.
Compared to Kakashi's shock, Naruto looked at his future self and said curiously, "Is that the Nine-Tails? It doesn't look particularly cruel."
Since he was a child, Naruto had been hated and ostracized because of the Nine-Tails, but now he saw in the video that he and the Nine-Tails seemed to have become comrades-in-arms.
This gave Naruto a slightly strange feeling.
It was as if for many years, Naruto felt like an 'evil neighbor' lived inside him, only to suddenly discover after seeing the video that the other party didn't seem particularly evil.
Perhaps he had too much prejudice against the Nine-Tailed; maybe the other party was the victim back then?
Compared to Naruto, Sasuke's expression was much more varied; he was ecstatic one moment, gloomy the next, and then showed a rather troubled expression.
Clearly, his heart was exceptionally conflicted, and the analysis of Sasuke's emotions was quite simple.
His ecstasy was due to his joy at having such terrifying power in the future; with such power, defeating Itachi would be quite easy.
Because this power was not at all inferior to that so-called Six Paths Madara; killing Itachi would be a piece of cake.
His gloominess came from Sasuke wondering why he would fight Naruto; he had absolutely no reason to fight him. Could something have happened in the future?
Had Naruto become his enemy? No, that was unlikely; in the video, he clearly had some purpose for wanting to kill Naruto.
Naruto, on the other hand, was passively taking a beating and had never really confronted him head-on.
The headache was simple: Sasuke was thinking that since he would be so strong in the future, Itachi would definitely find a way to kill him. After returning to Konoha Village this time, he had to be careful, careful! And more careful!!!
The video continued to play.
Accompanied by the flash of lightning, the three Nine-Tailed continued their attack. At this moment, the Nine-Tailed were like wild beasts, opening their mouths wide to bite down.
One bit into the Susanoo's hand, but soon this Nine-Tailed was torn off and thrown away.
"Voom—!! Bang bang—!!"
The Nine-Tailed condensed two Tailed Beast Balls in their mouths and attacked the Susanoo.
"Clang clang—!!"
The Susanoo reached out, and the spear in its hand knocked the two Tailed Beast Balls away.
"Boom—!! Boom—!!!"
Accompanied by the sound of explosions, two Nine-Tailed lunged forward without a word, swinging their Tails at the Susanoo.
However, these attacks had little effect on the Susanoo.
Finally, one Nine-Tailed rushed up from below, grabbed the Susanoo's Chakra spear, and began charging toward the sky.
The other two Nine-Tailed also followed and rushed into the sky.
They pierced through the clouds and reached the blue sky, where the Susanoo and the Nine-Tailed fought once again.
Lightning flashed, and the impact of the clash between the two sides dispersed the nearby clouds.
Eventually, the Nine-Tailed were knocked down. The three Nine-Tailed gathered together again, and in their mouths... Tailed Beast Balls appeared.
The Susanoo also changed weapons, no longer using the previous Chakra spear, but switching to a bow and arrow.
"Swish—!!!"
"Boom—!!!"
Almost at the same instant, three Chakra arrows collided with three Tailed Beast Balls.
Two of the Tailed Beast Balls knocked away the Chakra arrows, while another Tailed Beast Ball was simply destroyed by the Chakra arrow fired by the Susanoo.
And with undiminished power, it attacked the three Nine-Tailed.
"Boom—!!!"
Blue lightning once again enveloped the three Nine-Tailed.
When the lightning vanished, the three Nine-Tailed all showed varying degrees of injury—missing limbs, but nothing too severe.
Fortunately, it was only hit by a single Chakra arrow.
If all three had hit at once, the injuries likely wouldn't have been so minor.
Seeing this, Sasuke naturally said with a smile, "You only possess a fraction of the Tailed Beasts' Chakra; you cannot compete with me as I am now!"
Naruto panted heavily as he looked at Sasuke. He naturally understood this, which was why he had been stalling for time since the beginning.
Sasuke was too strong now; having obtained the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts, his strength had increased far too much.
"And..." Sasuke controlled the Susanoo, his tone serious, "He's no match for this guy either!"
The Susanoo drew the Chakra bow, and a terrifying aura spread out from it.
Then, an arrow appeared.
The moment this arrow appeared, lightning flashed in all directions, and an unimaginable pressure spread toward the surroundings.
This arrow was terrifying. Most of the powerful figures watching this video frowned slightly; clearly, this strike!
From their perspective, it was no longer inferior to a so-called arrow of a god.
This person named Uchiha Sasuke was getting serious; he didn't intend to play around anymore but planned to truly get serious and kill the existence named Naruto before him.
It was also at this moment that the audience watching the video realized.
So the attacks the two of them just made were really just testing each other?!!!
Attacks meant to test each other had the power to change the terrain?! This was simply too ridiculous.
