Chapter 308 reunites Team 7 with Sasuke, whose overwhelming strength scatters his former comrades while Naruto wrestles inwardly against the fox's tempting offers of power.
When Sasuke moves to strike Naruto, Sai steps between them to block the blow. Sasuke responds by discharging Chidori Current, flinging Sai, Naruto, and their teammates back, then drives his blade through Yamato to fasten him against a rock. The reunion instantly turns hostile as the young Uchiha demonstrates how far his abilities now outstrip the others.
Deep in his own mind, a frustrated Naruto fends off the Nine-Tails as it dangles its power before him. He tells the beast plainly that he wants nothing more from it and demands it leave him be, only for Sasuke to cut the exchange short from the outside world.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

In this chapter, Sasuke's power is shown through Chidori Current, which he discharges to fling Sai, Naruto, and their teammates back, and through the strength he uses to drive his blade through Yamato and pin him to a rock.
