Chapter 885

"This is the last time I'll fight you! Naruto... Die! Just—die!!!"

Indra's Arrow!!!!!

"I've always wanted to have a good fight with you and defeat you, but... not the you of right now! You understand that too, right? Sasuke!!!"

Yin-Yang...

Although the visual impact might be slightly inferior to the dragon-like Six Paths Madara from earlier...

With the emotional weight of the two protagonists, the audience's hearts beat even faster.

The moment their strongest moves collide.

The space-time of the entire world freezes, and the BGM stops abruptly.

It's unclear if a second or much longer passes.

A giant ball of light, resembling a small planet, explodes at the midpoint of their collision.

It directly occupies more than half of the screens of the 3D audience.

BOOM!!!!!

The sound finally returns.

Accompanied by a blast that nearly scares the headphone-wearing fans off their gaming chairs.

The endless energy released from the ball of light turns into ten thousand beams of light falling from the sky.

Constantly bombarding the ground below.

The sky wails, the earth shatters, and mountain floods roar!

On the screen:

【Hashirama, Madara: My statues!】

【I suddenly remembered something. These two are still Genin, right?】

【God-tier Genin, but thinking about it, it's true.】

【As everyone knows, Genin are the power ceiling of the *Naruto* world.】

【To be honest, the story of *Naruto* is a bit idealistic. In reality, for a terrorist like Sasuke who won't listen to reason, executing him on the spot would be the correct choice.】

【I suddenly feel like Naruto and Sasuke don't necessarily have to kill each other to awaken the Rinnegan. Isn't Madara's corpse right there? Hurry up and dig out those Rinnegan before he gets cold!】

【Madara: Are you guys going to milk me to death?】

In the giant mushroom cloud, two figures, one gold and one purple, can be seen falling rapidly from the smoke and dust.

It's Nine-Tails and Susanoo!

And during the fall, the chakra cloaks fade away rapidly.

Naruto and Sasuke fall to the ground in a disheveled state.

All the mountains within a hundred miles have been razed to the ground, and even the statues of their ancestors, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, are left with only their ankles.

The two barely manage to support themselves on the ground and stand up.

They stagger toward each other.

It's not over yet, the outcome is still undecided!

However, the following battle lacks the visual impact of the previous one.

Instead, it looks more like a clumsy fistfight between kids at the village entrance.

"Enough already!!??"

Finally, Sasuke can't take it anymore.

Bruised and battered, after taking a punch from Naruto, he climbs up from the ground again and yells in a mental breakdown:

"Again and again, again and again... you should just give up and let me kill you already??!!"

"That won't do..."

Opposite him, Naruto, also covered in bruises, tries his best to support himself on the ground, struggling to stand, and forces a smile:

"Because to me, you are that 'one and only'..."

Sasuke is struck as if by lightning, but the next moment he grinds his teeth and concentrates all his remaining power into his left hand.

Chidori!

And Naruto also struggles to lift his right hand, a weak Rasengan condensing and rotating in his palm.

The two stagger toward each other again. Finally, this is truly the last, last move!

However, just as Naruto is rushing toward Sasuke.

A large hand brushes past the Rasengan in Naruto's palm, making the Rasengan seem to expand and grow a little larger.

Many sharp-eyed fans immediately recognize it—it's Jiraiya's hand!

But it's not over. Next, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Kakashi, Iruka, Hinata, Gaara... one after another, their companions' hands brush past the Rasengan, making its light even more scorching and dazzling.

In the original work, the three pairs of Ashura and Indra, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha...

Can be said to be the three pairs of rivals that run through the entire story of *Naruto*.

Of course, in Xu Feng's view, the setting of Ashura and Indra is simply redundant.

To be precise, it should be the three pairs: Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

The battles of these three pairs of rivals all illustrate the collision of their respective philosophies—

Whether to believe in oneself or to believe in one's companions.

The collision of the Rasengan and the Chidori.

At this very moment, it is just like that moment back then.

Just like three years ago, the scorching light wraps them both inside.

It's unclear how much time passes before the two wake up again.

There is no decisive outcome; to be precise, neither of them is dead.

"Don't move. If we move around, we'll both die from blood loss."

Naruto's voice echoes in Sasuke's ear.

"Why, why would you go this far to stop me?"

At this moment, Sasuke is finally willing to calm down and talk properly.

"I don't know..."

Because his eyes are swollen like eggs, Naruto's speech seems to carry a built-in sad effect as he struggles to speak:

"But, when I saw the hatred you were carrying and the mess you were making out there... I don't know why, but I felt... very heartbroken."

Looking at Naruto like this, Sasuke widens his eyes in shock. Childhood memories gradually invade his mind, and his inner voice echoes:

"Naruto... I know. You've been alone since long ago, just like me, a survivor of the Uchiha, always being ostracized by the village."

"You always did boring, stupid things because you wanted to build connections with others. At first, I just thought you were a troublemaker, but I don't know when it started, I gradually began to care about you..."

"And then I gradually felt it, a feeling of peace of mind..."

"So, every time I saw you in pain, I also... felt heartbroken."

Listening to Sasuke's inner monologue, the expressions of the 2D fans are a bit strange.

Although I know, but... it still feels a bit gay.

"Hahahaha!"

The inner monologue ends, and Sasuke suddenly lets out a hearty laugh, different from the previous "Four Great Mad Laughers of the Uchiha."

Under Naruto's surprised gaze, he finally says the line fans have been waiting for for a year.

"I acknowledge you. I... lost!"
