Summary

The fallout from Sasuke and Naruto's attacks tears apart the surrounding valley and even shears the heads from the statues of Madara and Hashirama. The resulting shock-waves reach far enough for Kakashi to feel them as he looks on. With their chakra reserves badly drained, the two press on regardless, trading fierce taijutsu blows while their minds drift to Academy days spent practicing Traditional Shinobi Sparring.
