Chapter 100: Rasengan and Chidori

Rasengan!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The blue sphere appeared in Naruto's hand.

Naruto, who was running at full speed, held the Rasengan in one hand, his eyes locked firmly on Sasuke's figure.

The chakra waves emanating from the Rasengan caused ripples in the air behind him.

Sasuke watched as Naruto charged at him.

With a swift motion, Sasuke cut down the clones in front of him.

At the same time, he grabbed his ninja sword with his other hand and formed a hand seal, staring at Naruto.

'So... he has already learned the Rasengan!'

'This is different from the original story!'

'Naruto… you guy...'

Sasuke felt a complex mixture of emotions. No wonder the system recognized Naruto. In just seven days, Naruto had learned the Rasengan, and from the looks of it, his proficiency with the Rasengan was not low at all.

Under such circumstances, even ordinary techniques might not be able to block the attack from the Rasengan.

"Chidori!"

In an instant, Sasuke's hand gathered a powerful Lightning Release chakra.

The sound of birds echoed across the entire venue as the Chidori took shape.

Hearing the sound, countless ninjas widened their eyes in shock.

Before they could recover from Naruto's Rasengan, Sasuke's Chidori struck, and everyone was left stunned.

"It's Kakashi's Chidori…"

"Is that the Rasengan? From the Fourth Hokage…"

"These two brats have mastered such powerful techniques!"

"Who taught Naruto the Rasengan?"

"Right now, the only one in Konoha who could teach that technique would be one of the Legendary Three, Jiraiya, right?"

"Jiraiya-sama? How could that be?"

No matter who taught it, Naruto and Sasuke were about to clash head-on.

No one wanted to miss this exciting moment.

On one side, the air crackled with thunder, and the Chidori's bird calls filled the space.

On the other side, the air seemed to tear apart with the sound of swirling chakra at high speed.

The two beams of light collided in the center of the arena.

Boom!!

A deafening explosion rang out, and violent shockwaves spread from beneath the two fighters' feet.

The shockwaves quickly reverberated, crashing against the walls of the arena.

Crack!

A clear crack appeared on the walls, surrounding the entire arena.

Even the referee, Shikaku Nara, was stunned in place.

"Such... such powerful force!"

The collision between the Chidori and Rasengan continued.

Sasuke could feel the power of Naruto's Rasengan coming toward him.

He was truly surprised.

'He used so many shadow clones, yet still has this much chakra left!'

'The Uzumaki clan's constitution really is ridiculously powerful!'

Sasuke couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

With his own chakra reserves and enhanced Lightning Release, even his Chidori couldn't completely overpower Naruto.

How could this not surprise him?

Boom!!

Lightning flashed as Naruto's Rasengan was blocked by Sasuke's Chidori.

Though Naruto's momentum was strong, Sasuke's power was greater.

Naruto was sent flying back, crashing violently into the wall.

The dazzling light slowly dissipated, and Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was embedded in the wall.

He lowered his gaze and looked at his palm.

There were several scratches on his hand!

'So this is Naruto now!'

'The power of the Rasengan... is truly... strong!'

No wonder it's the signature move of the protagonist!

Shikaku Nara glanced toward Naruto, then toward Sasuke.

He never expected the battle to become so exciting.

Naruto!

He had given everyone a huge surprise!

No one had expected the underdog Naruto to be able to fight with the genius Sasuke to this extent.

This match had already been a success. It was over.

"The match is over. The winner is Sasuke…"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a voice came from Naruto's direction.

Naruto, jumping down from the wall, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The surrounding smoke cleared, revealing his determined eyes.

He stared unwaveringly at Sasuke.

"The battle isn't really over yet!"

Hearing this, Shikaku Nara froze. Naruto... hadn't passed out?

He had just endured that terrifying collision and was still conscious?

But even so, it was useless!

Naruto's current condition was not enough to defeat Sasuke.

After all, Sasuke was still in top form, while Naruto was clearly at his limit.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you still…"

However, before he could finish speaking, the air suddenly began to reverse.

It seemed as if it was being sucked toward Naruto.

In just an instant, the air around Naruto was violently pushed outward.

The next moment, red chakra began to surge out of Naruto's body from all directions.

The intense chakra fluctuations swept through the entire arena.

Shikaku Nara froze, and countless high-ranking ninjas in the audience were stunned as well...

Even the Third Hokage's expression changed.

"Tailed Beast Chakra... Has the Jinchuriki gone berserk?!"

But soon, the tailed beast chakra around Naruto formed a chakra cloak, and a tail made of chakra materialized behind him!

The chakra tail.

At this sight, the Third Hokage, who had just been about to stand, sat back down heavily.

"Naruto... has controlled the Tailed Beast Chakra..."

Looking at Naruto's eyes, which remained conscious and unaffected by the tailed beast's chakra, it was truly remarkable.

The fact that Naruto could control the Tailed Beast Chakra was extraordinary.

It seemed he had even gained control over the chakra of the One-Tailed Beast.

This made the battle even more unpredictable.

Sasuke, too, was surprised. As expected, the protagonist was never going to be easily defeated.

Naruto had mastered the chakra of the Nine-Tails and perfectly activated the One-Tailed Chakra mode.

So, who was truly the monster here?

"Sasuke... I'm not going to lose just like this!"

Naruto's newfound resolve sparked Sasuke's interest, and for a moment, he set aside the system's task.

Fighting Naruto had certainly awakened Sasuke's fighting spirit.

Since that was the case, Sasuke decided he wouldn't hold back anymore.

"Then let's do this!"

"Speed... lightning fast..."

Crack!

Lightning came crashing down from the sky, striking Sasuke fiercely. However, in the next moment, the lightning seemed to travel around Sasuke's body.

Blinding lightning illuminated the entire arena, with two ninjas one red, one blue radiating a different aura from each other.

Both sides' momentum was rising rapidly.

The audience, too, was suddenly set on fire.

"Go, you two!"

"Don't back down! Go for it!"

"Naruto, show us what else you've got!"

"Don't underestimate the Uchiha! This kid is no pushover!"

Both of them were a bit unaccustomed to the cheers.

But right now, whether it was Naruto or Sasuke, their eyes were fixed on each other.

Crack!

The first to strike was... Sasuke!

In a flash of lightning, Sasuke swung his ninja sword and appeared at Naruto's side.

With a chilling, electric-infused slash, Sasuke aimed directly for Naruto's neck.

But in the next moment...

A hand wrapped in red chakra firmly grasped Sasuke's ninja sword!

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Sasuke looked up, staring directly at Naruto.

"Speed, strength... both have increased so drastically?!"
