Chapter 171 What do you know about me?
Naruto swung his fist and hit Sasuke one after another, and the last punch directly knocked Sasuke into the river.
He roared towards the sky.
After Sasuke climbed out of the water, he formed seals with his hands.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!
Naruto directly caught the fireball with his body, and then smashed Sasuke into the river again.
As soon as Sasuke swam out of the river, Naruto grabbed him and swung him towards a rock not far away.
--boom
Smoke and dust were everywhere.
With a "swish", Naruto appeared in front of Sasuke.
He grabbed Sasuke by the collar: [You are almost there, wake up! ]
Seeing that Sasuke closed his eyes and said nothing, he continued to yell: [If you don't want to wake up, I will really beat you up! Beat you so hard that you can't move, and then take you back! Sasuke! ]
Sasuke said weakly: [You are really annoying...]
[For you who have no relatives or brothers, what do you know about me? 】
[You have been alone from the beginning! What do you know about me? ]
The ferocity on Naruto's face slowly disappeared.
[It is because we were related that we feel pain. How could you possibly know how it feels to lose these things!] As soon as the words fell, Sasuke suddenly jumped up, hugged Naruto's waist, and fell towards the river below.
The bodies of the two men landed steadily on the river surface.
Naruto said disappointedly: [I really don’t understand the true love between father and son, and the love between brothers.]
[But, when I think about the time I was with Iruka-sensei...]
Naruto's mind conjured up the image of him and Iruka eating ramen.
[I thought, this is what it feels like to have a father, right?]
【When I'm with you...】
Naruto's mind flashed with the scene of him and Sasuke laughing and playing.
[Having brothers, this is what it feels like, right? ]
Sasuke slowly lowered his head and asked softly: [Why, Naruto? Why do you care about me to this extent? ]
[You are the bond I have built with great difficulty. ]
Hearing this, Sasuke was startled.
Naruto looked at Sasuke expectantly: [That's why I came to stop you. ]
He hoped that after hearing what he said, Sasuke would choose to stay.
Of course, he would rather keep Sasuke's heart than keep Sasuke's body.
But unfortunately...the result was destined to disappoint him.
Sasuke lowered his eyes, took out the forehead protector and put it on his forehead.
[It's too late, Naruto. It's already too late.]
【I can’t turn back now.】
After saying this, the two magatama in Sasuke's eyes slowly turned, and one more magatama appeared.

"Did Sasuke decide to completely sever his ties with Naruto only after this? I thought he had already..."
"For Sasuke, revenge is everything."
"If Sasuke really wanted to kill Naruto, then the Chidori would have pierced Naruto's heart instead of his shoulder. It was not until now, when he awakened the Three Magatama Sharingan, that he decided to completely sever his bond with Naruto. Just like Madara did back then."
"Don't make a fuss. A hole as big as the one in the leg would kill him anyway. I guess Sasuke didn't think that much about it."
"..."

Iruka stared at Naruto on the screen.
"Do you feel the same way about me as your father?"
A mist quickly filled his eye sockets.
"Really? I look so young, how did Naruto feel like a father in me?"
Iruka muttered, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
on screen
【Come on! Naruto! 】
Sasuke got into position.
[Then I can only sever this bond myself! ]
[Cut it off?] Naruto opened his vertical pupils and asked: [Then why are you wearing a forehead protector at this time?]
Sasuke raised his lips and said to him: [I recognize you, you are very strong. ]
[Because we both understand loneliness and pain. And this kind of pain can make people stronger.]
[So, if I cut off this bond, I can gain even greater power! ]
【From now on, I will fight you on equal terms. 】
[But.] He pointed to his forehead: [You can't hurt a single hair on my forehead. This will never change.]
Ninja World
Watching Naruto and Sasuke's taijutsu battle.
Someone said with emotion: "This time, Sasuke is no longer powerless against Naruto who has unleashed the Nine-Tails' Chakra. Sasuke's strength has improved so much in such a short time..."
"Although Naruto's movements are faster than Sasuke's, Sasuke's three-magatama Sharingan can completely see through Naruto's movements and can predict and respond in advance."
on screen
Sasuke, who has awakened the three magatama, can not only deal with Naruto with ease, but can even fight back.
But in just a moment, Naruto was knocked into the river again.
on the river
Red bubbles began to appear around Naruto.
Sasuke heard a "gurgling" sound, looked over, and a drop of sweat slid down his face: [What is this? ]
Soon, Naruto was lifted up by this huge amount of chakra.
Naruto gritted his teeth and punched Sasuke in the face, sending him flying.
Then, a tail appeared from behind Naruto, and he lay on all fours on the river like a fox.
This time, it was Sasuke who was beaten by Naruto without any chance to fight back.
Every time he could only narrowly dodge Naruto's attacks.
Even if Sasuke found an opportunity to release Fire Style Ninjutsu, Naruto could easily block it with his body.
On the other side, Kakashi was still on his way.
On this side, Sasuke, who had just used the first form of the cursed seal, was seized by Naruto and was hit hard and flew away.
Sasuke climbed out of the wall.
[I can’t help it, really. ]
[As long as I get my hands on that kind of power, I don’t even know what I will become in the end. ]
[But... there's nothing I can do, Naruto...]
As he spoke, Sasuke's fair skin began to turn darker, and his hair began to grow longer...
[Indeed, you are special. But, I am more special than you! ]
Ninja World
Someone numbly said: "I understand this. Next, Naruto will be beaten without any chance to fight back, right?"
The speed at which they improve their strength...
It's so inhumane.
"Sasuke now has two wings that look like claws on his back? Isn't this...too unsightly?"
"..."
on screen
Sasuke raised his head and looked at the two stone statues.
【Did you know? This place is called the Valley of the End. 】
[It's a suitable stage. Right? Naruto.]
[This battle should almost be over.]
Sasuke formed a seal with his hands.
In Naruto's hand, a chakra ball was also condensing.
The two looked at each other and rushed towards each other at the same time.
【Chidori! 】
【Rasengan! 】
Chidori and Rasengan finally collided.
A white light lit up across the entire screen.
Next, there was a huge black sphere, which was slowly spreading outwards, squeezing the body of the stone statue into gravel that flew everywhere.
After all the storms died down, Sasuke lowered his head and stared blankly at Naruto who had fainted.
【Naruto……】
【I……】
At this time, raindrops began to fall from the sky.
Sasuke looked up, watching the rain falling harder and harder.
At this moment, the curse seal on Sasuke's shoulder took effect.
【Well! 】
Sasuke covered his shoulders and fell to the ground uncontrollably. His nose almost hit Naruto's forehead protector.
Sasuke stared at Naruto's face, maintaining this position for a long time.
