Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 340 The Strongest in Modern Times vs. The Strongest in the World

The Nine-Tails' immense chakra flowed into Sasuke's body like a warm tide. This ability was indeed extremely convenient—if Naruto wanted, he could clothe anyone in a tailed beast chakra cloak, becoming a mobile chakra source.

After transferring a considerable amount of chakra—though not much for Kurama—Sasuke raised his hand in a stop gesture, indicating that he had returned to peak condition.

Sasuke sighed inwardly, realizing he had complicated things due to his poor communication skills. However, it seemed the next battle would be far more serious than this one.

"Sasuke-san, has your chakra been restored?"

Boruto watched the entire process intently, and as soon as the chakra transfer ended, he immediately asked with concern. After receiving Sasuke's affirmative nod, he pressed for more information.

"So what do we do next? I didn't expect the father here... Naruto is so strong, should we continue with the original plan?"

Boruto clearly understood the difference between the Naruto of this world and his own father. Although they shared blood and resembled each other, the Naruto before him was definitely not the father who raised him. This realization led him to correct how he addressed Naruto.

"Yes," Sasuke's voice regained its usual composure, "Urashiki won't give up. Boruto, how's Tori doing now?"

"Li?" Boruto took the tortoise-shell-shaped device from his pocket. "Still the same as before, is it asleep? There's not a sound."

"I see," Sasuke said, taking the device and examining it carefully. "Give me the plow for safekeeping. Judging from the current situation, Urashiki's next move will likely be to try and steal this."

After carefully storing the device, Sasuke continued to analyze the current situation. "Urashiki was injured earlier and shouldn't reappear anytime soon. But he will never give up his plan to steal Naruto's chakra."

"Since Naruto is so troublesome right now, his next step will likely be to use this device to travel to the originally planned point in time—that is, the time when Naruto was still a child."

"What we need to do is completely eliminate Urashiki in the next attack. Only when we are certain there are no further threats can we safely use the Plow to return to our original timeline."

Although the battle had gone unexpectedly smoothly, Naruto dared not let his guard down for a moment. After all, he had clearly seen the genuine Rinnegan in Urashiki's eyes.

After Sasuke finalized the next action plan, Naruto decided to temporarily move to live outside Konoha Village in order to avoid harming innocent people during the next Urashiki attack.

He chose a location that wasn't too far from Konoha, but just within range of the village where the Tailed Beast Ball's explosion wouldn't reach. This distance ensured the villagers' safety while allowing for timely reinforcements in case of an emergency.

Before settling down, Naruto went to see Jiraiya and briefly explained the commotion, saying that he was training in a new technique to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

He then returned home and found that Kushina had just gone out, leaving only a note that read, "Needs to go out for two days of training." Naruto also left a message for Satsuki, assuring him that he was alright and would explain everything in detail upon his return.

This arrangement was made out of necessity—with Satsuki's current strength, it was indeed difficult for her to cope with a battle at the level of the Otsutsuki, and Naruto couldn't bear to let her get involved in such danger.

And so, Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto set up camp at their chosen location, preparing for Urashiki's next attack. Although it was a bit of a last-minute cramming session, their training plan couldn't be neglected.

Actually, Naruto has always had a worry in his heart, which may sound a bit pretentious—he can no longer find an opponent to spar with.

Before Sasuke and Urashiki arrived, there was no one in Konoha, or even the entire ninja world, who could rival Naruto. Even Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, was no match for him.

At this moment, Naruto was extremely curious. He wanted to know just how much of a gap existed between himself and Sasuke Uchiha, who came from the future and whose strength was at the pinnacle.

"Naruto... remember, don't go too far. Urashiki shouldn't be attacking anytime soon because of his injuries from the last battle, but..." Sasuke's voice was filled with helpless caution.

"I understand, of course I get it." Naruto replied casually. "You've said it several times already, just enough, don't go too far. But now that your chakra has recovered, you'd better satisfy me."

The two stood facing each other in an open field. Naruto felt a little strange—this Sasuke, who always sought to be safe, was quite different from the Uchiha Sasuke he knew who was always sharp and aggressive.

Boruto, observing from a safe distance, was well aware of his own limitations. He knew that if he wanted to intervene in a battle of this level, he could only rely on the unpredictable and dangerous special power within him…

Although Boruto has witnessed his father and Sasuke fighting side by side many times, he has never seen these legendary rivals clash head-on.

"Attack when you're ready," Sasuke said calmly, standing still. Although Naruto's strength far exceeded his expectations, he still didn't believe that this young Naruto could compare to the Naruto of his own era.

"Whoosh!"

A moment after Sasuke finished speaking, Naruto instantly entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode! A golden chakra cloak covered his entire body like burning flames, and several enormous golden chakra claws simultaneously and fiercely attacked Sasuke!

Sasuke's expression changed slightly—shouldn't sparring start with taijutsu?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Sasuke nimbly dodged repeatedly, each time the golden claw missed its target, leaving deep craters in the ground. Amidst the rising dust, Sasuke also noticed Naruto skillfully throwing specially made Flying Thunder God kunai at various points on the ground.

"Eh-!"

Just then, a piercing bird cry rang out. Sasuke drew his Kusanagi sword with one hand, and lightning chakra quickly coiled around the blade, emitting a dazzling blue-white light.

Instead of dodging, he swung his sword straight at the incoming chakra claw, precisely slicing the giant golden claw in two!

The severed chakra claws dissolved into specks of golden light and vanished into thin air. Under Sasuke's masterful swordsmanship, all the giant golden claws were quickly eliminated.

"Otama Rasengan!"

But the next moment, Naruto instantly appeared behind Sasuke using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the giant Rasengan he had gathered in his hand came hurtling straight at him with a whooshing sound!

"boom!"

The Giant Rasengan struck Sasuke squarely, but no one present believed that such an attack could harm him.

After the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, Sasuke was seen to be enveloped in purple energy, which quickly condensed into the shape of a skull, perfectly protecting him within.

"Susanoo?" Naruto's voice was filled with excitement. "Are you getting serious now?"

At this moment, Naruto seemed to be showing a slightly belligerent side, but Sasuke only sighed softly. In the eye he revealed, the eerie Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan began to slowly rotate—it seemed that it was best to end this duel as soon as possible.

Just as Sasuke was about to use the power of his Sharingan, he overlooked an important fact: the Uchiha clan has an extraordinary ability to perceive eye power. That unique chakra fluctuation is as clear to them as a lighthouse in the dark.

However, Sasuke hadn't encountered other Uchiha clan members for so long that he had gradually forgotten this characteristic.

He never expected that when his other "self" sensed this extremely powerful, almost identical, and even Itachi Uchiha aura, eye power, how it would react.

(Later, Sasuke will learn Sasuke's true identity, but he will not know who Boruto's mother is.)

(Because Sasuke explained that Hinata wouldn't die, her Mangekyou Sharingan would awaken when she learned about Boruto and Naruto's child with another woman. However, the author had already planned out how Sasuke would awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan long ago.)

(After this chapter is finished, I will skip to the next part. The opening scene is Satsuki opening her kaleidoscope.)
