Annoyed as he was, Sasuke knew Menma was right about one thing: if Menma also made a move, the current situation would be even worse!
It was precisely realizing this that made Sasuke even more depressed.
This meant that Naruto didn't even need to use his full strength to defeat him. This spar seemed to have been decided long ago, and there was no point in continuing.
"No, how can I lose to Naruto!"
Sasuke shook his head, driving the thought of admitting defeat directly and saving pupil power out of his mind.
Then, he pondered countermeasures.
Soon he thought of the re-sealed 'Cursed Seal' on his shoulder. At present, it seemed that only by borrowing the power of the 'Cursed Seal' would there be a glimmer of hope to turn defeat into victory!
On the sidelines.
Kakashi said: "Hokage-sama, let's stop the match, shall we?"
Tsunade asked Jiraiya: "What do you think?"
Jiraiya pondered for a moment: "Taking this opportunity, we can understand where the limit of Naruto's 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode' lies, and better evaluate to what extent Naruto's current strength has grown!"
Kakashi said: "But Sasuke..."
Tsunade interrupted Kakashi: "This is Sasuke's own choice. We just need to ensure that no accidents happen to the two of them!"
"Yes!"
Kakashi nodded helplessly.
He was worried that Sasuke would waste too much pupil power unnecessarily in the spar, while Tsunade and Jiraiya obviously wanted to use this opportunity to probe what method Sasuke used to restore his pupil power before.
Moreover, as Tsunade said, this spar was provoked by Sasuke himself. If they interfered forcibly, Sasuke might not appreciate it.
Crack!
Just as Kakashi was distracted for a moment, there was a new change on the field. Amidst a cracking sound, Sasuke's 'Susanoo' finally couldn't bear the burden and collapsed.
However, Sasuke didn't retreat but advanced instead. The moment 'Susanoo' collapsed, he activated the 'Cursed Seal', rushed out of the 'Susanoo', and pounced out.
Buzz buzz...
Then, the unique sound of 'Chidori' resounded throughout the entire canyon.
Entering 'State 2', Sasuke shuttled back and forth on the field like a ghost. The dazzling 'Chidori' in his hand was like a sharp blade, penetrating Naruto's Shadow Clones one by one.
Poof poof poof...
Instantly, accompanied by continuous muffled sounds and rising white smoke, Naruto's Shadow Clones disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Caught you!"
With the sharp decrease in the number of Shadow Clones, Sasuke finally found Naruto's main body.
Activating 'State 2' and stimulating his whole body with Lightning Release chakra, Sasuke's speed could barely keep up with Naruto in 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode'. Coupled with the advantage of the Mangekyo Sharingan in dynamic tracking, he finally pounced in front of Naruto's main body and thrust out his right hand activating 'Chidori'.
Naruto was startled, his body instinctively retreating while extending his hands, trying to block Sasuke's thrusting right hand.
However, when his hands grabbed Sasuke's right arm, they were immediately paralyzed by the 'Chidori' covering Sasuke's right arm, unable to exert force.
"Not good!"
Naruto cried inwardly, then extended a full four chakra arms to barely grab Sasuke's thrusting right arm, blocking Sasuke's 'Chidori' surprise attack this time.
"That was close..."
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Sasuke, who was barely blocked by Naruto using both hands plus four chakra arms, grinned and snorted lightly: "Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The lightning originally only covering Sasuke's right hand extended rapidly, like a spear made of lightning, fiercely piercing towards Naruto's chest!
"This!?"
"Not good!"
Everyone watching the battle changed color simultaneously. Yamato even activated 'Wood Release', trying to stop Sasuke's dangerous strike.
However, no matter how anxious the people far on the sidelines were, they were too late to stop Sasuke's poised 'Chidori Sharp Spear'!
Unlike everyone else, Menma floating in the air crossed his arms, a smile on his lips, seemingly not worried about Naruto at all.
As the target of Sasuke's 'Chidori Sharp Spear', Naruto naturally noticed the anomaly earliest. The moment Sasuke launched it, his body instinctively began to fly backward.
It was just that his retreat speed was obviously slower than the extension speed of 'Chidori Sharp Spear', so he was caught up by 'Chidori Sharp Spear' after barely retreating one or two meters.
At the critical moment, Naruto didn't care about much, directly using both hands, as well as two chakra arms protruding from his chest, combining the strength of four arms to clamp the piercing 'Chidori Sharp Spear'!
"What!?"
This time it was Sasuke's turn to be dumbfounded.
He had thought of many possibilities, but never expected that his painstakingly developed 'Chidori Sharp Spear' would actually be grabbed by Naruto's arms!
In the next instant, Naruto exerted force with all four arms together, Tailed Beast chakra instantly surging, forcibly extinguishing Sasuke's 'Chidori Sharp Spear'!
Sasuke was stunned: "You?"
Swish...
With a surprise attack, Naruto closed in on Sasuke, swinging punches with both hands along with six extended chakra arms, attacking Sasuke.
"How is this possible!? How is this possible!?"
Sasuke raised his arms to protect his vitals, struggling to support himself, while roaring in his heart.
His ninjutsu was actually broken by Naruto in this way, which was really hard for him to accept.
Bam...
With a distraction, Sasuke took a punch to the jaw, losing his center of gravity.
Following this stumble, his defensive stance collapsed instantly. More fists bombarded like raindrops. In just a few breaths, he took dozens of punches, and finally, his whole person was sent flying.
And the moment he fell, Naruto's golden figure followed closely, pouncing up again, poised to punch.
Swish swish swish...
At this time, amidst the sound of breaking air, several figures blocked in front of Naruto!
Sasuke on the ground barely opened his swollen eyes, finding that it was Kakashi holding Naruto's left arm, Jiraiya blocking in front of him pressing Naruto's chest, and Tsunade on one side catching the right fist Naruto swung at him.
Tsunade said: "Alright, that's enough!"
Naruto was stunned for a moment: "Eh, is it over?"
Jiraiya pouted towards the ground: "Take a good look, if we let you continue, Sasuke would be beaten to death by you!"
Seeing Sasuke black and blue on the ground, Naruto was greatly surprised.
He was still following the habit of sparring with Sasuke before, going all out during the fight, afraid of being easily taken down by Sasuke.
Unexpectedly, in a moment of self-forgetfulness, he beat Sasuke so miserably.
"Da... damn it!"
Sasuke's expression was incredibly embarrassed.
He really didn't expect Naruto's full outbreak to be so terrifying. In just a short time of a few breaths, he was completely defeated, suffering a crushing defeat!
If he hadn't entered 'Gear 2' in advance, he feared he would have been seriously injured and lost consciousness by now.
