"Chidori!"
"Rasengan!"
Just like that day in the Valley of the End, Sasuke entered Curse Seal State 2, injected the power of Curse Seal, and used his strongest attack, Black Chidori.
Naruto injected the Bijuu's Chakra into Rasengan, and used his strongest attack, Red Rasengan.
The difference was that a year ago, Naruto could only accommodate one Bijuu's Chakra, but now he had three!
However, the final result was the same as a year ago. Naruto was once again defeated by Sasuke, lying on the ground powerlessly.
"Whoosh ~" His Chakra was almost exhausted, the claw wings behind him gradually retracted into his body, and the Curse Seal pattern on his body also disappeared.
"Plop ~" Sasuke also knelt on the ground, exhausted, gasping for breath.
Looking up with difficulty, Sasuke's eyes were full of shock and jealousy at this time, staring at Naruto, who was lying not far away.
"Damn it …" Since leaving Konoha, Sasuke trained under Orochimaru, and didn't hesitate to be an experimental subject, receiving various drug injections from Orochimaru, and constantly enhancing his strength with the help of foreign objects. In a year, Sasuke's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
To be honest, Sasuke was quite satisfied with his strength improvement, and he also believed that with this speed of improvement, in the next two years, he would be strong enough to fight Itachi.
However, today's battle with Naruto deeply stimulated Sasuke, because he thought he could easily defeat Naruto (Ichibi State), but Naruto (Nibi State) stood up tenaciously, and his strength and speed were much better than before. Sasuke had to use the power of Curse Seal. However, what made Sasuke even more incredible was that Naruto (Sanbi State)'s strength improved again, so strong that he had to use his current biggest card to enter Curse Seal State 2, to completely defeat Naruto.
Although the result was Sasuke's victory, but …
In this way, Sasuke didn't hesitate to cut off the fetters, step into the darkness, and make a series of sacrifices, became meaningless!
A year ago, he defeated Naruto in exhaustion when he first mastered the Curse Seal Power. Now, he still has to be exhausted to barely defeat Naruto in front of him.
So, doesn't this mean that Naruto still caught up with him after his efforts this year?
In his opinion, he should be able to easily defeat Naruto with the power he got at all costs. However, judging from the final result, the gap between him and Naruto hasn't widened at all. Naruto's strength has caught up with his level in his own way.
"Naruto … How strong are you …" Sasuke clenched his fists and screamed unwillingly in his heart.
…
Kakuzu's trump card, he stuffed the remaining soldier food pills into his mouth and used all the chakra in his body. "Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei!"
"What?!" Five coffins rose in front of him. The lid of the coffins opened, and five figures walked out of them.
Deidara's eyes widened, looking at the five dead people walking out of the coffins with a look of disbelief. In the end, they're just young people of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although they're rare geniuses in the Shinobi World, and currently have the strength to enter the upper level of the Kage level pyramid, their experience and knowledge are far inferior to the older generation.
With Deidara's eyesight, he can see at a glance that the five people in front of him are dead people without heartbeat and flesh. However, at this time, the five dead people really moved. How can he not be shocked?
"Huh …" Naruto Naruto's Chakra was exhausted, and he collapsed to the ground. Excessive consumption and forced use of Forbidden Technique made him unable to even move a finger.
"With my Chakra … I can only summon a character of this level …"
The five people in front of him were the five Sound Ninjas, Kimimaro, Kidomaru, Sasuke, Jirangō, and Toyo!
The five Sound Ninjas died one after another in the hands of Konoha and Sand Ninjas when they picked up Sasuke. As Orochimaru's subordinates and excellent experimental subjects, their genetic information is naturally intact in Orochimaru's collection.
Originally, Orochimaru had more advanced collections, but unfortunately, Orochimaru's hands are currently disabled, and he can't use Edo Tensei at all. At the same time, although Naruto was given this Forbidden Technique by Orochimaru, the precision and combat power of Edo Tensei are related to the power of the summoned person and the Chakra of the caster himself.
The Forbidden Jutsu developed by Nidaime Hokage to communicate with the underworld is much more difficult than expected. Even if Orochimaru himself has a lot of information about this Forbidden Jutsu, it still took him several years to barely master it.
In the battle between Konoha's collapse plan and the Sandaime Hokage, because the summoned targets, the First Hokage and Second Hokage, had too much Chakra during their lifetime, the precision of Edo Tensei was greatly reduced.
After the experience of the failed summoning, Orochimaru has made slight adjustments to the Edo Tensei Jutsu itself. Although it is a little troublesome, in theory, if the preparation conditions are sufficient, the next time he uses the Edo Tensei Jutsu, the precision of the First Hokage and Second Hokage summoned will be greatly improved to the level of the latter's strength when they were alive.
However, although the technique has been adjusted and improved after the actual combat experience, whether it's Shiki Fujin or Orochimaru's hands being disabled, Orochimaru can no longer use Edo Tensei.
As for Naruto, it's entirely because of his personal strength. The five Sound Ninjas he can summon are already his limit at this time.
Because of Orochimaru's adjustments, there is no problem with the precision of the summoned five Sound Ninjas. At the same time, Edo Tensei can only exert more powerful combat power if the ninja's personality is preserved. Moreover, the five Sound Ninjas were once Orochimaru's subordinates. They have no reason not to obey him. It's just that Naruto hasn't fully mastered the Forbidden Technique, and now he can barely use it.
At this time, the five Sound Ninjas are just killing machines!
