Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Sasuke, his skeletal Susanoo at full power, fixed Naruto with a glacial intensity. Naruto, in hermit mode, seemed strangely calm, although the tension in the air was almost palpable. The sudden revelation of his identity had upset the balance of the battle, but it had only fueled Sasuke's determination.

— "Naruto... So, you're hiding behind that mask? You've changed a lot."

— "You won't understand what's at stake. I'm not here to ramble. But if you get in my way, I won't have a choice."

Naruto leaped first, his speed amplified by hermit mode. He delivered a punch reinforced with a massive amount of natural chakra, aiming directly at Sasuke's Susano'o's chest. The impact created a gigantic shockwave, but Sasuke's spiritual armor held, although cracks began to appear.

Sasuke counterattacked immediately by activating his Amaterasu. Black flames erupted from his eyes, spreading over his Susanoo like a shield, attempting to burn Naruto at a terrifying speed.

But Naruto used a *Kawarimi no Jutsu*, substituting himself with a rock that was instantly consumed by the flames. He reappeared behind Sasuke, quickly forming two Rasengan in each hand.

Naruto struck the Susano'o head-on, causing a massive explosion. Sasuke was knocked back, but he used the momentum to counterattack by launching an energy arrow from the bow of his Susano'o.

Naruto dodged at the last moment, but the resulting explosion made him stagger. He quickly stabilized and used a *Senpō: RasenShuriken*, a Rasengan infused with Fūton chakra, which he launched at Sasuke.

Sasuke, anticipating the attack thanks to his Sharingan, used a *Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu*. An imposing fire dragon emerged from his mouth, meeting the Rasengan mid-flight. The impact created a detonation that shook the ground, raising an opaque cloud of dust.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Naruto created several shadow clones in hermit mode. The clones scattered, surrounding Sasuke and his Susano'o.

Sasuke activated his *Chidori Nagashi*, releasing a wave of electricity that instantly neutralized the nearby clones. But it was only a distraction. The real Naruto appeared above him, a full-powered *Odama Rasengan* in his hand.

The Rasengan struck the Susano'o, creating a phenomenal explosion. Sasuke grimaced as his spiritual armor crumbled under the power of the attack. However, he used this opportunity to grab Naruto with the left hand of his Susano'o and throw him violently to the ground.

Sasuke formed a mudra and summoned lightning around him. He concentrated the energy in his katana, creating a new technique: *Chidori Gatana - Blade of Celestial Thunder*. He charged at Naruto at incredible speed, his blade ready to strike.

Naruto, still on the ground, knew he couldn't take it all.

He rolled to the side to dodge Sasuke's decisive blow, but he knew he couldn't maintain this pace indefinitely. He quickly got back up, his eyes shining with a new intensity.

Naruto took a step back, heading towards Kyūbi and Manda, who were still engaged in a violent confrontation. Kyūbi sent a colossal tail swipe that swept Manda away, sending him flying.

Naruto placed a hand on Kyūbi's flank.

— "Lend me your power, Kyūbi."

In an instant, an immense wave of chakra was released. Naruto entered the *Kyūbi Chakra Mode*, his body surrounded by a vibrant golden mantle. His power was palpable, overwhelming.

Sasuke gripped his katana.

"You think that will be enough? Truly pathetic, you're running away from the fight."

Naruto had already used jutsu after jutsu and was running out of chakra, his hermit mode deactivated. He had no choice but to steal Kyūbi's chakra.

Naruto, now faster and more powerful, lunged at Sasuke. Their exchange of blows was so rapid that it was almost impossible to follow with the naked eye. Naruto created a *Bijū Rasengan*, concentrating Kyūbi's pure energy, while Sasuke formed an ultimate energy arrow with his Susano'o.

The two techniques collided in a blinding flash of light. The resulting explosion devastated the terrain, creating a gigantic crater.

When the smoke cleared, the two combatants were on their knees, exhausted but still determined. Naruto fixed Sasuke with a mix of sadness and resolve. Naruto couldn't maintain his Kyūbi mode, and Sasuke was also exhausted.

"I can't fail! This is my only chance! I can't fail! To live in a world where I won't be alone. In a world of peace, where I lived with my parents. Where I won't be manipulated! In a world without sacrifices for hypocrites!"

The three tomoe in Naruto's eye shone fiercely, taking the form of Shisui's Mangekyō.

Instantly, green projectiles formed.

*Magatama!*

Sasuke infused a Chidori with his Amaterasu.

"Reality is reality. Don't confuse illusion as a solution. You fool!"

Sasuke leaped, his speed and agility put to the test. He dodged the Magatamas at the last moment, cuts and burns appearing on his body with each projectile narrowly missing him. He was at his limits, his flesh burned, his breath ragged, but he refused to give in.

"Just die with this world of hypocrites!"

Naruto, using his last ounce of chakra, concentrated immense energy in his right hand. A devastatingly powerful Rasengan formed, its vortex swirling with contained fury. It was his ultimate assault, a cry of rage against the world he wanted to change.

Naruto leaped forward, the force of his determination propelling him ahead. It wasn't a technical attack but an act of desperation and hope. In a final assault.
