Main Characters (3)
Summary
Thrown back by the shock of their collision, Sasuke hurls a fireball at Naruto, who snaps his Six Paths Sage Mode back on and swats the flames aside with a chakra arm. Sasuke flickers behind him in an instant and drives a Chidori into him, sending Naruto skidding across the water. Pressing forward, Sasuke fires three Susanoo arrows, and Naruto cancels them out with three Truth-Seeking Balls.
Sasuke calls up his Complete Body Susanoo and rushes in, prompting Naruto to shift into his Kurama avatar. Locked together in the struggle, the two find their thoughts drifting to the hardships they endured as children.
Key Events
Sasuke warns that keeping up this pace will get Naruto killed, but Naruto insists he has no wish to take Sasuke's life. Sasuke channels a Chidori through his Susanoo while Naruto shapes a Tailed Beast Ball laced with senjutsu to meet it. As the two attacks slam together into a colossal burst of energy, Naruto swears he will never abandon Sasuke.
From inside the blast, Sasuke admits he genuinely grasps the reasons behind Naruto's actions and holds an answering respect for them, then rhetorically asks whether Naruto feels the same about him.
