Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"Yes."

Sasuke bit his lower lip until it bled, and even subconsciously activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"So the truth is, Itachi Uchiha slaughtered the Uchiha clan for Konoha's sake, and spared me to enhance his own image..."

"No, that's not right." Naruto suddenly interrupted Sasuke.

"According to his own words, he kept you on because you and Konoha were the only two bottom lines in his heart."

"He instills hatred in you, making you hate him, so that you can gain greater power, allowing you to protect Konoha without being exploited by the Konoha leadership."

“These are his exact words, and I can tell he wasn’t lying.”

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke held his head in his hands, his lips slightly parted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What a joke! What are you talking about, you bastard! Uchiha Itachi... he is clearly my enemy. He killed my parents and the entire Uchiha clan!"

Sasuke stared intently at Naruto, trying to find a trace of a lie on his face.

Unfortunately, no.

"So...what you're saying is all true?"

"Konoha and Itachi Uchiha slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan..."

"Uchiha Itachi, spared me... because you loved me?"

"Ha...haha...hahaha...ahh ...

Sasuke looked up at the sky and cried bitterly, his face filled with a variety of emotions that Naruto couldn't even find a suitable adjective to describe.

"What a joke! What about my life so far? What about all the reasons I've kept living and pushing myself to become stronger? What about them all?!"

Naruto watched Sasuke quietly, without making a sound to disturb him.

Sasuke pounded the ground frantically, as if trying to drown out his inner turmoil with physical pain.

He stared intently at the Fifth Hokage before him.

Why...why are you telling me all this?

"Because I want to know what you will choose, I think I should at least let you see what the options are like before you make a choice."

Sasuke glared fiercely at Naruto, the tomoe in his eyes spinning until they finally formed the shape of a kaleidoscope!

My choice...

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

"I will kill Uchiha Itachi and destroy Konoha!"

Chapter 58 Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan

[Host, would you like to switch to managed mode? The Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities are strange; we cannot rule out the possibility that Sasuke might use it to kill you.]

"No, System. The only battle I must fight is one that I must take on myself."

Naruto's gaze was firm, and he didn't even interrupt Sasuke, whose eye power was surging.

"Moreover, the system will handle the analysis, Kurama will provide the chakra, and I will fight. The three of us will fight side by side!"

【OK. 】

Kurama looked into Sasuke's eyes and felt a little wary, but he did not object to Naruto.

"Naruto, be careful."

After saying that, Naruto activated Sage Mode.

Meanwhile, Sasuke on the other side had gradually adapted to the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and was laughing maniacally.

"Hahahaha, this is the Mangekyou Sharingan! This is the power that Itachi Uchiha wanted me to have..."

"Just for something like this! Just to protect that damned Konoha! My parents, the entire Uchiha clan died!"

"Naruto! Since you are the Hokage of Konoha, I will kill you even if it's just you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large, illusory purple hand suddenly appeared around Sasuke and reached out to grab Naruto.

"Susanoo!"

[Be careful, this appears to be formed from condensed ocular power, similar to a giant hand formed from the Nine-Tails' chakra.]

Naruto easily dodged Sasuke's attack thanks to his extremely fast reaction speed.

Sasuke is currently in an extremely irrational state, and he's not thinking about how to fight properly at all; he just wants to vent his frustrations.

So he frantically unleashed his eye power and chakra, and another large purple hand appeared around him, along with a purple skeleton for protection.

Naruto didn't attack Sasuke, but just kept dodging. Now, even without relying on the system's analysis, he could dodge all of Sasuke's attacks on his own.

That's how it should have been.

As Naruto dodged the sweeping purple hand once again and jumped aside, Sasuke had already attacked with another purple hand.

A prediction? Has Sasuke calmed down a bit now?

With the aid of Sage Fox Mode, Naruto's physical abilities were extremely strong, and he managed to dodge the attack mid-air by using a small Wind Release technique to change direction.

However, Sasuke seemed to have anticipated Naruto's move, transforming Chidori into a spear and attacking Naruto's landing point.

Caught off guard, Naruto was hit by Chidori. Although the injury was not serious, his body felt a little numb.

[This prediction doesn't align with past information about Sasuke; it's speculated to be a change brought about by the Mangekyou Sharingan, perhaps granting him precognitive abilities.]

During the system analysis, Sasuke, in a frenzied state, revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan ability.

"Well, this is the Mangekyou Sharingan. I've finally caught up with you, Naruto!"

"My right eye's pupil technique is called 'Thoughts and Perception,' which allows me to know the answers to all questions. Although it consumes pupil power, it only lets me know where to attack next, so the consumption is almost negligible!"

Just as Sasuke said, he then attacked in different directions without thinking, and often managed to hit Naruto accurately.

[This wasn't even a prediction. Sasuke had no idea what his host would do next. The question he asked the Mangekyou Sharingan should have been straightforward: 'Where will you attack next?']

"It is indeed a somewhat troublesome ability, but I guess you, System, have already figured out a solution."

[That's right. Although I can't directly determine where the host will hide next through analysis, I can tell from Sasuke's movements where he will attack next.]

Most importantly, given the host's speed, Sasuke wouldn't be able to react in time.

As expected, following the system's prompts, Naruto easily dodged Sasuke's attack.

Even if Sasuke already knows that the place where he will attack next is where Naruto will land, Naruto will react immediately and dodge.

"Impossible! That's the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Thinking of the past!"

Sasuke poured even more of his ocular power into his left Mangekyou Sharingan, causing blood to seep out.

"Where should I attack next?"

And the answer he received was—

No solution!

"How is this possible..."

Sasuke never expected to receive such an answer.

Does that mean that, given his strength, there's absolutely no way he could hit Naruto?

Sasuke gritted his teeth, still refusing to believe the truth, and desperately poured out his eye power and chakra to attack Naruto, but his attacks missed time and time again.

"Ah! Damn it..."

Soon, because using Susanoo had consumed too much of his eye power, Sasuke suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right eye.

"Sasuke, are you alright?" Naruto noticed Sasuke's unusual behavior and quickly asked with concern.

However, Naruto's concern once again stung Sasuke, making him realize more deeply the gap between himself and Naruto.

"No... I will kill Uchiha Itachi... I will destroy Konoha... My power... is not just this!"

In an instant, Sasuke's left eye shone brightly, flashing with an eerie light.

"That's right, this move will definitely defeat Naruto!"

Upon noticing that Sasuke was watching Naruto, the system quickly issued a warning.

[Be careful, he seems about to use his left eye's pupil technique.]

"So that's how it is. It's the perfect ability." Sasuke suddenly laughed, but it was an ugly laugh, completely unlike his usual self.

"The eye technique of my left eye is called 'Calamity Sun'! With Calamity Sun, I am the embodiment of judgment!"

"Through the day of calamity, I can use one of your sins as fuel to attach an unceasing golden flame to your body and soul!"

[Host, quickly move aside and find something to cover yourself, otherwise even I probably won't be able to find a way to counter this attack in a short time.]

But Naruto shook his head.

"No, this is the only move I don't need to dodge at all."

【What……】

During their conversation, Sasuke had already looked at Naruto.

"Criminal charges... massacring the Uchiha... the calamity of Hibiki!"

A raging golden fire suddenly appeared on Naruto's body, as if it would never stop.

"Farewell... my best friend." Sasuke looked at Naruto, his eyes filled with a complex emotion beyond hatred.

Meanwhile, the system inside Naruto's body was rapidly collecting data on the day of the calamity and trying to find a solution.

[The target of Calamity Sunlight includes both body and soul, and it cannot be avoided or removed. It even possesses healing properties, meaning it will remain permanently attached to the enemy unless the evil it fuels is exhausted.]

It seems the only way to remove the Calamity of the Day is for Sasuke Uchiha to do so voluntarily.

"No, there's another way, system." Naruto shook his head.

Then he took a step forward, and the flames on his body went out!

Sasuke was completely dumbfounded. The fact that Omoikane was ineffective could be explained by Naruto's high stats, which overwhelmed his abilities.
