Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Sasuke extended his right hand, aiming it at Liao Wu's Susanoo, and a massive amount of chakra gathered in his Rinnegan.

"Planetary Devastation!"

Sasuke's Planetary Devastation doesn't create a super-gravity black sphere that flies into the sky to pull at the enemy.

Instead, it directly seals the target being sealed as the core.

The Earth Explosion Star directly impacted Liao Wu, causing the surrounding yellow sand to surge forward with tremendous force, coalescing into a massive sand sphere centered on Liao Wu.

"Cough cough..."

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, finally sealing away Liao Wu.

but--

"Sage Art: Susanoo!"

A massive amount of Sage Mode power exploded from the sand sphere, easily tearing apart Sasuke's Planetary Devastation seal.

The sand spheres turned into a rain of sand and fell, but Susanoo remained standing in the sky like a god.

But many changes have occurred; a white snake, resembling a tailed beast, is now coiled around its neck.

The black Susanoo became more solid, as if it had merged with nature and come to life.

Sasuke looked up, his pupils filled with disbelief.

He saw Ryogoku's appearance in the Susanoo's divine platform; his skin was as pale as a white snake, and he had snake horns on his head.

Just like Kabuto the Immortal back then.

"You've learned the magic of Ryuchi Cave?"

Liao Wu crossed his arms and looked down at Sasuke, saying, "What's so surprising about that? What I'm wondering is why you don't learn Sage Mode?"

There is no truth to the claim that the Uchiha clan is unsuitable for Sage Mode!

Learning Sage Mode requires a vast amount of chakra, and the Uchiha clan is known for its immense chakra reserves, which fits this description perfectly.

Learning Sage Mode requires extremely refined chakra control, which involves controlling the fusion of natural energy with one's own chakra in a one-to-one ratio.

This is also an advantage for the Uchiha clan.

Because of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, which is a manifestation of the mind, it represents the Uchiha clan's extraordinary spiritual energy.

People with outstanding spiritual energy tend to excel at controlling chakra.

With Sasuke's talent, he is capable of successfully learning the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave.

In what ways is he inferior to Dou?

Liao Wu then controlled Susanoo to attack Sasuke. Sasuke struggled to deal with just a white snake.

Without Sage Mode and without the cursed seal, Sasuke cannot borrow external power.

He and Madara are both reincarnations of Indra, but Sasuke and Madara are different.

Madara's strength stems from his necessity to become powerful in order to create his own perfect world.

Young Sasuke was even willing to offer his own body as a sacrifice to Orochimaru in order to avenge his family.

But after reconciling with Naruto, Sasuke seemed to lose all his spirit.

He stagnated, and his strength even declined.

If there are tailed beasts nearby, Sasuke can also use the power of the Rinnegan to absorb chakra.

But there was none around.

Sasuke managed to burn the white snake with Amaterasu, but to his shock, the white snake reappeared on the shoulder of Susanoo.

Liao Wu said to Sasuke, "The white snake is my companion beast. As long as my chakra remains, it will never die."

Sasuke used every technique at his disposal: Amenotejikara, Susanoo, Amaterasu, Chibaku Tensei...

He discovered that Liao Wu surpassed him in every way.

It seems that only by joining forces with Naruto can they defeat Liaowu.

No, Naruto's chances are also slim.

Because Naruto's Six Paths Mode was no longer available during the battle at the Valley of the End.

Given the current situation, we have no choice but to try that method!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Sasuke spewed several dragons formed from condensed flames into the sky, which would have puzzled others.

How is Sasuke outwitting thin air?

But Liao Wu looked up at the sky and laughed, "Sasuke, are you planning to use the Kirin against me?"

"(°ー°〃)."

Sasuke was shocked, even somewhat taken aback.

Sasuke released Fire Release into the sky to form a lightning cloud, borrowing the power of the Thunder God to release the Kirin.

This was his fighting style, but he didn't expect Liao Wu to see through it.

According to Liao Wu, he read Boruto's memories and knew about their future.

But the Kirin was something Sasuke did when he was a teenager. Boruto didn't even have a beast back then, so Boruto himself didn't know about it. How did Liaowu know?

Liao Wu's left hand, Susanoo, condensed a flame fan, which blew away the flying dragon fire with a single wave.

Then, Liao Wu pointed his Yin-Yang spear at Sasuke: "Sasuke, are you still alive? If not, I'm going to kill you!"

"..."

Kirin was Sasuke's last chance to survive; after Liao Wu destroyed the Great Dragon Fire, Sasuke was already dead.

With his chakra almost depleted, he was truly out of options.

Liao Wu pointed his Yin-Yang spear at Sasuke and said, "Kneel down and call me 'uncle,' and I'll spare your life for the sake of your mother, Mikoto."

"..."

Sasuke has his own pride, a pride that belongs to the Uchiha clan, and he will never surrender to his enemies.

He tried to leave in an instant, but Liao Wu activated Time Stop, and vines grew from Sasuke's feet, binding his feet.

He also absorbed all of Sasuke's chakra.

"If you won't call me 'uncle,' then you might as well die!"

The Liaowu Yin-Yang Spear thrust towards Sasuke, but at the crucial moment, a red figure landed in front of Sasuke.

"Don't kill my father!"

It's Sarada.

After Boruto's shadow clones broke the genjutsu, Sarada saw Sasuke being completely overwhelmed by Ryougo and rushed to his aid.

"Sarana?!"

Sasuke looked pale-faced at Sarada, who was blocking his way. How ugly she was. He never thought that someone as proud as him would have to rely on Sarada to save him one day.

What have I been doing all these years?

Liao Wu's Yin-Yang spear stopped in front of Sarada, only inches away from her face.

Sarada closed her eyes in fear, but remained motionless.

Fortunately, Liao Wu regained his humanity and retrieved the Yin-Yang Spear.

Sarada's imagined scene of being strung together with the Fourth Generation couple did not occur.

She opened her eyes and saw Ryoubu, who had taken back Susanoo.

Liao Wu said to Sarada, "Sarada, call me 'Uncle,' and I'll let you and your father go!"

Sarada smiled and rushed forward to hug Liao Wu's hand: "Uncle, dear Uncle, I knew you weren't as bad as Boruto said!"

"Boruto, that despicable guy, claims you're a demon king who will destroy the world. How could we, the Uchiha clan, possibly be like that?"
