Even though I can't see the real one at a glance, after all, Naruto has so many shadow clones that I can't keep track of them.
But as long as he comes up himself, I can tell which one is the real one.
The bright red Sharingan eyes spun quickly, as Sasuke kept smashing the jumping shadow clones into white smoke.
"With the Sharingan, I can tell who the real one is at a glance."
"I'm just playing with you."
Either there are so many people that I can't keep track of them, or I can definitely tell which one is the real one.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's real body, who was standing among the shadow clones, and punched him, sending him flying. Then, without hesitation, Sasuke flipped over and kicked Naruto forward.
Snake - Ram - Monkey - Pig - Horse - Tiger
Before Naruto could fight back, Sasuke quickly made hand signs and took a deep breath.
"Fire Release, Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A huge fireball shot out of Sasuke's mouth, instantly covering Naruto's flying figure.
"Splash." With a sound, Naruto fell directly into the waterfall at the end of the valley.
The water in the lake, farther away from the waterfall, gradually calmed down. The moment Naruto fell in, ripples spread out in layers.
Naruto climbed out of the water and stood straight on the rushing river.
He felt unwilling but couldn't bring himself to truly hate Sasuke.
But if he didn't act with the intention to kill him, he wouldn't be able to bring Sasuke back.
Why does he have to seek revenge?
He had always seen Sasuke as a friend, as a rival of the same age.
But because they were friends, he couldn't really hurt Sasuke.
"Am I no longer your friend? Was everything we did together with everyone else meaningless?"
Water droplets kept falling from Naruto's head, and he shouted loudly at Sasuke.
"It's not meaningless. You are my most important friend."
"But I also have something I must do."
"Don't stop me."
No matter how much more he said about the past, it would be meaningless, although he couldn't deny all the past and memories.
But he still had to become stronger in order to maintain his desire to win and his pride.
This was his choice, and what he was giving up was the bond they had.
Sasuke stood on the statue, looking down at Naruto. The two-tomoe Sharingan eyes narrowed slightly, and then a third tomoe appeared beside them.
Sasuke jumped high into the river, and a pillar of water shot up from under the waterfall.
The atmosphere seemed different from before.
Naruto looked at the water under the waterfall, on alert, and lowered his body slightly.
Bright red Nine Tails chakra emerged from his body. Even if he didn't want to use this against Sasuke, he had to now.
The emerging red chakra continued to take shape, becoming like a chakra armor, covering Naruto's body.
The bright red beast eyes and deepened whiskers were especially obvious on Naruto's face.
His short golden hair even floated constantly under the influence of the chakra.
A gaseous red fox tail appeared behind Naruto.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Naruto made hand signs, and then a shadow clone appeared beside him with a "bang."
Naruto bent one hand slightly, while another shadow clone constantly controlled the chakra beside him in a regular way.
A blue, constantly spinning Rasengan quickly appeared in his palm.
Unlike the previous Rasengan, this Rasengan was covered in a layer of Nine Tails chakra.
The water vapor and waves surging down from the waterfall splashed up, mixed with the spray, and bright blue lightning flashed in the water.
The falling water landed on Sasuke. He held one hand on top of the other, gathering all his chakra into that hand.
Kakashi had told him before that he couldn't use Chidori too many times. Forcibly using the ninjutsu would only exhaust himself.
It wasn't a ninjutsu that he could use many times anyway.
Sasuke simply gathered all his chakra into his hand.
Everything depended on this one blow.
The desire for power, the obsession with pride and the desire to win swelled up in an instant.
A shrill and sharp cry of birds rang out under the waterfall. Sasuke opened his eyes wide and shot out of the water.
"Chidori!"
"Rasengan!"
The Nine Tails chakra directly increased Naruto's speed a lot, and the Rasengan in his hand also created a huge wave beside him.
Two waves of water were instantly pushed away on the surface.
The moment the Rasengan and Chidori collided, a dazzling light burst out.
The huge impact lifted the two people's hair, and their stubborn faces were exposed in the light.
The water between them instantly spread out quickly, and for a moment, the entire lake in the Valley of the End, along with the statues on the side, were constantly shaking.
The gravel on the ground on both sides of the statues shook uncontrollably and flew to one side with the spreading impact.
The shockwave shook the surrounding forest, constantly making rustling sounds, and fallen leaves fluttered to the ground.
There was no way to avoid it.
Before the Chidori ended, Sasuke used his Sharingan to punch Naruto hard in the stomach.
Naruto coughed up a mouthful of blood before tilting his head back and hitting Sasuke's forehead with his head.
The two of them turned white in the eyes for a moment, and then fell directly into the river below with two "splashes."
"Will they drown if they fall down like that...?"
Hatake Satoru couldn't help but purse his lips, raised his eyebrows as he watched the water surface that was only rippling slightly.
These two wouldn't directly kill each other, but if they fell into the water unconscious, they might drown.
Hatake Satoru didn't go too far. He was just watching the show in the nearby forest.
After all, these two people's strengths had changed. To avoid any trouble, he still had to keep an eye on them.
"Glug...glug..."
Just as Hatake Satoru was considering whether to go and fish up the bodies, some small bubbles floated up on the calm surface of the water.
Then, Naruto's wet head poked out, with Sasuke, who appeared to be unconscious, in his arms.
After coughing a few times, Naruto didn't bother to check Sasuke's condition and could only barely grab him and swim towards the shore.
Obviously, he didn't have much extra chakra or strength and couldn't maintain walking on the water.
Naruto gritted his teeth and threw Sasuke onto the shore, then scrambled towards the shore with his hands and feet.
Unfortunately, he collapsed directly onto the riverbank, with half of his body sinking down, about to fall into the water again.
Hatake Satoru reached out and grabbed the wrist of the unconscious Naruto, and dragged him out of the water.
"Well, it's come to this, so don't drown."
