Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

The demon sword Murasame, fused with Susanoo's chakra, transformed into a giant demon sword with a purple aura, its blade covered in Kagutsuchi. It slammed into the Ten-Tails' chest, unleashing a burst of purple sword energy mixed with black flames!

"Awooo!!!" The golden Ten-Tails outside Naruto let out a miserable cry.

But Naruto grasped the demon sword Muramasa and fused it with the Ten-Tails' chakra.

Bear!

The golden, giant demon sword appeared in the Ten-Tails' single arm, carrying a force even more earth-shattering than Susanoo's. It pierced Susanoo's abdomen, protruding from its lower back and slicing downwards with a brutal force, even more gruesome than a samurai's seppuku...

Whoosh!! Whoosh!!

The Ten-Tails, crouching down, opened its mouth and spewed out Tailed Beast Balls!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

Within the exploding light curtain, Susanoo was scattered in fragments, riddled with wounds...

Although Susanoo is already badly damaged, what protects Sasuke is ultimately the divine artifact called Yata no Kagami. Its power has exploded to date, making many other artifacts pale in comparison. Yet, the legend of Yata no Kagami's invincibility has never ended!

"That's right!" Sasuke's right eye widened, his trembling pupil filled with fighting spirit and ruthlessness!

—Takemikazuchi!!

Rumble rumble rumble!

In the sky, azure lightning transformed into hundreds of lightning spears, piercing through the back of the golden ten-tailed fox, exiting through its chest and abdomen, and crashing into the earth and disappearing into the sea!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread, and with a splash, seawater overflowed from the cracks, flowing to the feet of the Ten-Tails and Susanoo.

"Awoooooo... Naruto!!!"

"Sasuke!!!!!"

Susanoo, with its feet planted on the shoulders of the Ten-Tails, spun the Giant Spirit Muramasa and pulled it out of the Ten-Tails' chest, while the Ten-Tails slashed the Giant Spirit Muramasa out of Susanoo's left abdomen...

Crackling sounds echoing through the air!

Two colossal beings, wielding their respective giant demonic blades, were frantically attacking each other...

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!

The curtain of destruction covered everything; on the island of the end, mountains and forests crumbled and shattered...

Splash splash splash splash splash...!!

The storm whipped up waves that surged from the island toward the horizon...

Chapter 742 The Progenitor Returns, Beliefs Conflict

Boom! Boom!

A frenzied barrage of slashes formed a dark curtain that blotted out the sky. Two shattered behemoths were sent flying backward, their demonic blades riddled with nicks and chips. The sword spirits within them, severely wounded, both fell into a deep slumber...

call out!

The darkness lasted for a long time before it subsided. Sasuke's complete Susanoo and Naruto's Ten-Tails transformation were both temporarily exhausted due to excessive energy consumption.

The area where the two fought has now become an inland lake with an unobstructed view.

"Huff, huff, huff..." On the lake, the two men faced each other hundreds of meters apart, panting, both feeling resentful.

Naruto muttered to himself, "Sasuke is just too strong now. I thought that even if we didn't win after one Ten-Tails transformation, I could still gain an advantage. But I only managed a draw. It seems I'll have to use an even stronger Ten-Tails transformation later..."

"Naruto, as expected, only you... are worthy of me unleashing my true eye power!"

Sasuke sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then... his six-tomoe Rinnegan eyes widened in unison!

The Ame-te in the left eye and the Ame-gaku in the right eye are sister eye powers belonging to the 'Ame-te' system... The effects of the left and right eyes are different, but if the eye powers of both eyes are fully activated, a stronger power will be unleashed!

—Heavenly Power Realm!

Whoosh! A large, pale blue, hemispherical field unfolded, centered on Sasuke, covering half of the inland lake... including Naruto within it!

"Hmm? This light shield... Is Sasuke going to use some new technique?"

Naruto immediately tried to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape the area, but found that... the Flying Thunder God Technique was not working!

Sasuke partially covered his eyes, his gaze icy: "It's useless. Within the Heavenly Hand Power World, I possess absolute control over space. Unless someone's eye power surpasses mine by several levels, like the Shadow's, they might not be able to compete with me. Otherwise, they cannot escape using space-time ninjutsu!"

"I have a feeling... something bad is going to happen!" Naruto's expression turned serious. He was covered in golden light and rushed towards the end of the pale blue light barrier with lightning speed!

"Don't think about it!"

Then, Sasuke stretched out his left hand in the air.

Swish!

Just as Naruto was about to escape the danger zone... he suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke's palm, leaving him utterly astonished: "This is Amenotejikara! Can he freely change positions within this barrier?!"

Sasuke placed his palm on Naruto's chest, and with a loud thud, a fist-sized chunk of flesh flew out from Naruto's back!

call out!

Naruto gripped the black rod formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball and struck it towards Sasuke's face.

Whoosh!

Sasuke shifted his position and appeared a hundred meters away. With a flick of his wrist, whoosh! The piece of flesh that had flown off Naruto's back was transferred to his palm... It turned out to be a bright red heart, wrapped in a transparent membrane, beating powerfully!

A hundred meters away, Naruto looked down at his chest, a gaping hole in the front and back, but empty inside.

Looking up at the still-beating heart in Zuo Zhu's hand, he confirmed a chilling fact!

That's my heart!

Immediately, doubt filled his mind: "What's going on? My heart has clearly left my body, but I don't feel anything unusual, as if it's still beating inside me..."

Sasuke tossed Naruto's heart around: "When Amenotejikara is activated, this hand of mine can displace the space it touches from the rest of the space. It's a displacement, not like Kamui, which transfers it to another dimension. So, the interdependence won't change..."

Naruto pinched his chin, unable to understand for a long time. He shook his head and said bluntly, "Although I don't understand, this ability seems completely impractical. It's not as straightforward as directly destroying the heart..."

"Wrong!" Sasuke refuted Naruto, and said meaningfully, "For someone with such powerful regenerative abilities as you, even if your heart is completely destroyed, you can regenerate it in a very short time. That wouldn't be truly fatal for you, but..."

Sasuke's lips curled up as he caught the heart falling from mid-air and clenched his fist tightly!

"Ugh!!!" Naruto's eyes widened as he clutched the hole in his chest and knelt on the water's surface.

Sasuke's gaze turned dangerous: "If it's like this, with my heart in my hand..."

"!" Naruto raised his head forcefully, the Truth-Seeking Balls behind him stirring restlessly.

Click!

Sasuke increased the pressure in his palm!

"Ughh ...

Naruto let out a heart-wrenching scream, his entire body curled up on the lake surface like a shrimp.

"The Seeking Truth Jade is still dangerous. To be on the safe side, let's move it..."

Sasuke hooked his free hand.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The Truth-Seeking Balls behind Naruto were directly transferred to the end of the Amenotejikara, escaping Naruto's control!

Sasuke was completely relieved.

Whoosh! He teleported himself in front of Naruto, his right hand gripping Naruto's heart, his left hand covered in dark lightning, and said condescendingly, "Naruto, even you couldn't endure this kind of pain for more than a few seconds!"

"..." Naruto lay shivering on the water's surface, seemingly too weak to even reply.

Sasuke's eyes flashed with a complex emotion for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by realization: "Naruto, your ideas are naive. There are billions of people in this world, with different cultures, different beliefs, different experiences, and different pursuits. They intertwine in a bizarre and wonderful way, even opposing each other. It's a matter of life or death, just like you and me right now. One of us is bound to fall, and if there's no Shadow to clean up the mess, we might even truly die..."

"Therefore, a world where people understand each other and there is no conflict is an absolutely impossible fantasy!"

“I… understand.” Unexpectedly, Naruto uttered a painful yet clear-headed murmur.

Sasuke's gaze sharpened slightly as he awaited Naruto's next words.

Naruto raised his pale face and looked directly at Sasuke, saying, "To give a simple example, when we were very young, adults always taught us not to lie..."

"But as we grow up, no matter how good our education is, we always lie, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes we even feel that the education we receive from adults is too dogmatic and rigid."

"This is reality. If education is like this, what would it be like without education, or even with negative education? It would definitely be a world full of lies."

"The same goes for belief. It's about firmly believing that the moment when people understand each other will eventually come. Even if the world doesn't become as wonderful as we expect, the current situation is definitely better than not believing!"

"This is my philosophy, Naruto Uzumaki, this is how I change the world..."

Feathered Emperor City, atop the mountain.

Kushina clasped her hands tightly to her chest: "Naruto...you're right."

Yu murmured, "Understanding reality while still clinging to idealism, Naruto is far more clear-headed than I imagined, and he stays true to himself..."

The Island of Doom.

"..." Sasuke was speechless for a moment. He closed his eyes and said, "I admit that it was inappropriate of me to call you naive and delusional..."

He opened his eyes, and crackling sounds filled the air as his left hand, covered in black lightning, struck Naruto.

"But I won this battle, and I am the one who will become Hokage!"

Naruto's eyes reflected the falling lightning, and his right Rinnegan suddenly emitted the light of a dojutsu.

——Jianyu follows Ji’s orders!

Chapter 743 The Ancestor Returns, A Decisive Move!

chap!

Sasuke's black Chidori cleanly sliced ​​through Naruto's body, sparks flying from his golden cloak. It undoubtedly struck a physical target, but Naruto suffered no real damage!

"What!?" Sasuke noticed something was wrong and was puzzled.

Thump! "Ugh!!"

Naruto kicked Sasuke hard, sending him flying. Then he bent down and picked up the heart that had fallen to the water's surface, muttering, "That was dangerous. I never want to experience that feeling of having my heart squeezed again in my life..."

Click! He stuffed the heart back into the cavity and used his powerful Yin-Yang Escape technique to remove the 'membrane' covering the surface of the heart, symbolizing spatial misalignment, thus truly restoring it to its original position.

Even Sasuke's Amenotejikara wouldn't be able to transfer the heart unless he touched it again and applied the effect.
