Naruto 486: The Clash between Two Ninja!
COVER PAGE
(Sasuke covering his eyes with a hand. Naruto covering his mouth.)
Side text: Two friends finally meet on the battlefield!
(View from above; dust and smoke coming out from around the bridge.)
(Kakashi has shoved off the clone and is alone now, coughing. Sakura is staring
ahead.)
Kakashi: (coughing) Damnit, he surprised me.
Sakura: NARUTO!
(Smoke clears. Naruto and Sasuke are still standing but both breathing heavily.)
Naruto: I have to give you a chance. Itachi wouldn't forgive me if I didn't.
Sasuke: !!
(Naruto leaps forward with a kage bunshin at Sasuke with another Rasengan. Sasuke
jumps up to dodge and tries to summon black fire. His eyes continue bleeding.)
Kakashi: Naruto! You don't understand! He killed the acting Hokage so we can't let
him go now!
Naruto: (glances at Kakashi, but keeps after Sasuke) But you're Hokage now, right?
You can't get into a dangerous battle so soon after what happened to
Tsunade-baa-chan.
Sasuke: (looks surprised)
Sakura: (looks up at Kakashi) Is that true, Kakashi-sensei?
Kakashi: ... (narrows his eyes) That's why I said this is my job! The two of you
don't understand what happened back at that time, and it's my responsibility to--
(Sasuke brings up another Chidori as Naruto advances and they clash again. This time
Naruto is in sage mode when the dust clears.)
Naruto: Sasuke...! I'll just keep going until I get you to see what I mean.
(Sasuke is sneering at Naruto. Ironically, his sight is getting even worse... He
starts laughing despite this.)
Sasuke: Not even you have that much stamina, Naruto. (Thinking: Damn... my eyes
are...) I will make you see that you can't win me over so easily.
(More clones from Naruto appear, and he starts forming a Rasenshuringan while others
attack Sasuke head on. Sasuke falls back and tries to bring out Susano'o again. Some
of the clones puff out of existence, but Susano'o is already having trouble staying
materialized.)
Naruto: Eh...! I won't be able to get past that unless... (shuts his eyes, they open
again and he's now in Sage Mode.)
MEANWHILE~~!
(The futon Naruto's clone is curled up in suddenly deflates with a puff.)
Yamato: !! (goes up to the blanket and throws it aside, seeing Naruto gone, and looks
up at the hole) Damn! That Naruto tricked me!
(He jumps out and starts trying to track after Naruto, immediately running through
the forest.)
Yamato: (Thinking: I can't let him interfere with Kakashi-senpai... Though if he's
dispelled one of his clones now, it must mean that he's already there at the fight.)
Just became hokage and his students are already disregarding his orders...
Kakashi-senpai is going to be furious with me.
BACK AT THE FIGHT
(Naruto continues advancing with the Rasenshuriken.)
Naruto: You'd better be ready, Sasuke!
Sasuke: (concentrates more chakra on Susano'o. His right eye begins bleeding as well)
I told you Naruto! You'll either have to kill me or lose here! (Susano'o shoots an
arrow at Naruto. Energy and dust explodes.)
Sakura: (shields her eyes) Kyaaaaa!
Kakashi: (takes off in a run to flank Sasuke, thinking: Naruto, you can't just attack
him with Susano'o out from the front like that. Those arrows are--" !! (looks up,
thinking: Oh, I see your plan now.)
(Smoke clears, Naruto is missing.)
Sasuke: What?!
(Naruto bashes in from above on Susano'o with a thrown Rasenshuriken.)
Naruto: I'll help you bring back the Uchiha by showing everyone them where they ARE
honorable!
Sasuke: Shit! (forms seals, trying to improve Susano'o's armor as much as possible)
Naruto: FUTON: RASENSHURIKEN!
(Susano'o begins to break, so Sasuke has to use more chakra and put in more
concentration. His eyes continue bleeding and his sight blurs and darkens.)
Sasuke: I won't give up here! I told you, Naruto! You'll have to kill me if you want
to defeat me!
Naruto: (sneering for the stress from using the sage chakra) It'll work! It'll work
because--!
(Naruto is interrupted when a black cloud bursts from his hands, and crows scatter
from him.)
Sasuke: !! That's...!
(The crows fly into Susano'o and cause it to break down completely. Sasuke screams
and shields his bleeding eyes with his hands.)
Sasuke: My eyes! They're...! Ahh!!
(Kakashi sees the opening and runs through, forming handseals.)
Kakashi: (lightning on his hand) CHIDORI!
(Sasuke looks through his hands at Kakashi's blurry and darkened approach and senses
the killing intent.)
Sasuke: (Thinking: I... can't die yet!) Che! (jumps back and begins to retreat,
forming seals, then blows to form a fireball) Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!
(Kakashi is forced to shield himself. The dust and fire is enough distraction for
Sasuke to retreat from the battle fully. When it clears, they see that he is gone.)
Naruto: (grimaces and punches the ground) Damnit!
Kakashi: (Looking on over Naruto, thinking: Sasuke... That was fear for your life,
wasn't it? So is what Naruto's planning... Is there a chance it may work...?)
(Sasuke has run a ways into the forest before he stops and leans against an arm
against a tree. His eyesight is even worse, and he's almost completely blind.)
Sasuke: Chikusho... (thinks about the fear for his life he felt, and about Naruto's
declaration about helping him bring back the Uchiha name) ... (squeezes his eyes shut
and hits the tree he's leaning on) CHIKUSHO!!!
END TEXT: Sasuke is almost completely blind! But where is Madara...?
