After Sasuke's brief moment of existential doubt, his usual hotheadedness quickly returned.
Controlling his Susanoo, he grabbed the Heavenly Bow of Amakago and slashed toward Nagi once again.
But Nagi, who knew Sasuke well, immediately realized that Sasuke had gotten carried away again.
Nagi simply raised his hand and flicked his middle finger toward the incoming bow.
The bow was struck by that flick.
But that single flick carried a force Sasuke could not possibly resist.
Boom! Rumble!
Sasuke's Susanoo was sent flying instantly.
The massive body crashed heavily into the Naka River, causing the riverbank to quake violently.
Nagi's figure appeared there in an instant.
Looking at the familiar yet slightly different scenery, countless memories with Sayuki surfaced in Nagi's mind.
Being forcefully kissed by her…
Being shamelessly taken advantage of in countless creative ways…
Being tricked into her schemes…
"What unforgettable memories…"
Nagi shook his head, as if trying to forget those experiences.
Meanwhile, Sasuke controlled his Susanoo and stood up again.
The blow from Nagi had actually calmed him down.
He raised the Heavenly Bow of Amakago once more and condensed a chakra arrow.
"Kagutsuchi."
Black flames instantly covered the arrow.
"Nagi… take a look at this technique."
Sasuke's Susanoo fully drew the bow and fired the arrow toward Nagi.
"Bishamon — Amplification."
The arrow's size and speed tripled, becoming a gigantic purple-black shockwave rushing toward Nagi.
"Hmm. This technique is indeed impressive."
Nagi stroked his chin and smiled.
Then—
A tiny white point of light, no bigger than a marble, gathered at the tip of his finger.
The ferocious arrow struck that tiny point of light.
Yet it could not advance even the slightest bit.
Nagi lifted his finger.
The white point instantly pierced through the arrow, shattering it into fragments of chakra.
But it didn't stop there.
The white light shot forward and struck Sasuke's Susanoo directly.
Before Sasuke could even understand what had happened—
he suddenly felt his connection to the Susanoo completely severed.
No—
it was more accurate to say the Susanoo had been instantly destroyed.
The enormous purple chakra giant collapsed and disintegrated.
Sasuke fell straight from the sky.
"Where am I…?"
"Who am I…?"
"What just happened?"
He still looked as if he were questioning the meaning of his entire life.
"How is this possible…?"
"How could I be this weak?"
"What exactly is going on?!"
Nagi walked over and spoke calmly.
"Well, Sasuke. It seems you've almost completely adapted to your Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Keep working hard. Once your Yin Release chakra grows strong enough, you should soon be able to awaken the Perfect Susanoo."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
"Nagi… tell me honestly."
"How much of your power did you use just now?"
"Ahem… that's not important."
"What's important is constantly surpassing yourself."
Nagi clearly tried to avoid answering the question.
Just then—
A streak of golden light flashed across the sky.
Naruto, glowing with golden chakra, arrived at the scene.
"Nagi! Sasuke! Are you two alright?"
"What happened here?"
Nagi smiled.
"Nothing serious. Sasuke and I were just sparring."
"I see… I thought someone had invaded the Uchiha district."
Naruto sighed in relief.
But soon he noticed something strange.
"Wait… that giant purple figure earlier was…?"
"That was Sasuke's Susanoo," Nagi explained.
At that moment, inside Naruto—
Kurama frowned slightly.
"That Uchiha brat's eyes… there's no mistake."
"They're the same kind of eyes Madara had back then."
"…No. Actually, they're slightly different."
Hearing this, Minato and Kushina were both surprised.
"The same eyes as Madara?"
Kurama snorted.
"Hmph. That brat's eyes have likely evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
"And the ocular power is extremely sinister."
"Hmph… those cursed eyes of the Uchiha."
After saying that, Kurama closed his eyes again, clearly unwilling to keep looking at Sasuke's Sharingan.
Kushina, however, felt curious about her friend's son.
Sasuke looked at Naruto and quickly noticed the chakra cloak surrounding him.
"This is… the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
"I didn't expect it could reach such a high level of quality."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto immediately raised his chin proudly.
"Hehe! Pretty amazing, right, Sasuke?"
"I only just mastered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode recently."
"My strength isn't what it used to be!"
Sasuke simply shook his head.
"Hmph. Idiot Naruto."
"You're already getting smug over such trivial power?"
"At this rate, you won't even know how you died someday."
"What did you say?!"
"You arrogant jerk, Sasuke! I think you're just jealous!"
Naruto immediately fired back.
Sasuke sneered.
"Talk is cheap."
"Let's settle this with our fists."
"Perfect! I'll beat you flat today!"
Naruto's fighting spirit surged.
Seeing the situation escalating again, Nagi realized it was pointless trying to stop them.
"Fine then."
"But keep it under control."
Nagi restored some of Sasuke's chakra and stepped aside, acting as the referee.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed.
Sasuke stepped back several paces, while Naruto was knocked flying.
Naruto quickly adjusted his posture and charged again.
Although Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode possessed incredible speed, strength, and explosive power—
Sasuke's dynamic vision and mobility were even more outstanding.
Combined with the reach of the Kusanagi Sword, Naruto temporarily fell into a disadvantage.
At that moment, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi rushed over.
When they saw Naruto and Sasuke fighting, they were briefly stunned—then immediately calmed down.
After all, it would be stranger if those two didn't fight every few days.
As their teacher, Kakashi knew there were probably hundreds of reasons why they might start fighting.
Tsunade turned to Nagi.
"Nagi, did you see that purple giant earlier?"
"Yes."
"That was… the technique my Second Granduncle once mentioned, right?"
"That's right."
"That was the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan—Susanoo."
"Susanoo…"
Tsunade sighed.
"But that size earlier was outrageous. It was even larger than most tailed beasts."
Jiraiya, who had fought the Four-Tails and Five-Tails during the Third Great Ninja War, understood exactly how terrifying such a massive Susanoo would be.
It was practically a walking weapon of war.
Kakashi then asked:
"Nagi, who do you think will win—Sasuke or Naruto?"
Nagi stroked his chin.
"Sasuke has the higher chance of winning."
"Unless Naruto can enter complete Tailed Beast Transformation, it will be extremely difficult for him to deal with Sasuke's Susanoo."
The others nodded in agreement.
After all, the dozens-of-meters-tall chakra giant they had just seen was far from decorative.
For Naruto in his current state, facing it would indeed be extremely difficult.
