The gravity core shot into the sky.
The sky darkened, the earth cracked
And thousands of massive rocks began to rise!
Even Susanoo's complete form wasn't immune. It was swept up by the pull of the gravity and dragged upward.
In mid-air, Sasuke's eyes widened.
"What is this… gravity!?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rising boulders began to cover the core.
A massive satellite, the start of a miniature planet was forming in the sky!
"Damn it! This isn't good!"
Realizing he was being pulled into it, Sasuke tried to escape.
He had Susanoo flap its wings, but it wasn't enough.
So he turned his aim toward Naruto instead!
Snap!
A massive arrow formed and fired downward—
Boom…!!
The arrow struck the ground about twenty meters behind Naruto!
"Tch! The gravity's throwing off my aim!" Sasuke growled.
Frustrated, he formed a second arrow and covered his left eye, trying to calculate the shot to correct for the gravitational pull
But it was too complex, even for him!
Boom! Boom boom boom boom!
Before he could fire the second arrow, Susanoo's back slammed into the forming star.
More giant rocks followed, burying him in layers of stone.
Swish!
Naruto, hands still locked in a seal, flipped backward from the top of the Hashirama statue.
Landing on the water, he spread his arms wide and raised them toward the sky, ready to finish it.
Boom! Boom!
The statues of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara crumbled, their stone fragments rising into the sky
Then smashed into the growing Planetary Devastation, making it even larger…!
Crash…!
As the dust settled, the Valley of the End had turned into a massive crater.
A giant sphere hung high in the sky, with scattered debris slowly falling around it.
Naruto pulled down his blindfold slightly, glanced up at the massive formation, and murmured,
"This… it's about the same size as the one Pain used on me. Back then, if I hadn't had Kurama's power and released up to the Eighth Tail… I'd have been trapped."
Boom!
About a minute passed
Suddenly, Naruto's expression changed.
Snap!
A crack appeared on the surface of the planetary sphere.
The tip of Susanoo's sword burst out, slashing upward
Tearing open a large gap!
Boom!
Susanoo's upper body forced its way out, and the rest of its form struggled to break free.
The entire Planetary Devastation structure began to collapse!
Naruto let out a quiet sigh.
"A Planetary Devastation of this scale can't hold Sasuke anymore...? His power is growing way too fast…"
He looked around and thought,
"Should I make it bigger?"
But quickly dismissed the idea.
"No… if I do that, the land will be destroyed too badly. This place is part of Konoha's legacy, we can't be reckless with it."
Boom boom boom…!!!
The massive sphere finally crumbled.
Susanoo emerged fully formed once again, standing tall.
The armor it had lost from grinding through the rock quickly regenerated, restoring it to full strength.
With red eyes blazing, Sasuke roared,
"Ahhhhhhh, Naruto!! Whatever tricks you've got, use them all!! I'll tear them apart one by one!!!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Fueled by Sasuke's anger, Susanoo's full form swung both swords, slashing the air with violent power!
Blades of light filled the sky…!
Naruto, his eyes covered again, moved swiftly in his purple lightning cloak, flipping through the air, dodging falling rocks and slicing swords.
"This can't go on…"
He realized just avoiding attacks wasn't enough.
Stepping on a falling boulder, Naruto gathered more power
—Purple Lightning Chakra Mode II!
Crackle...!!
The purple lightning armor around him surged with even more intensity.
His golden hair stood up, turning into sharp spikes from the overflow of chakra.
"This is the result of training in Hell Valley… But I haven't mastered it yet. This mode can't last long. I have to end this quickly."
Whoosh!
Using the Rinnegan's Tendou ability, Naruto controlled the gravitational field and launched himself into the sky
Now face-to-face with Susanoo in the air!
Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"Hmph… That lightning around him is a lot stronger than before, but Susanoo's full form isn't something human power can destroy!"
He shouted,
"Whatever you try, Naruto, it's useless!!"
But Naruto replied calmly,
"Don't be so sure, Sasuke…"
Crack!
Lightning exploded
Naruto charged straight toward Susanoo!
In his mind, he recalled:
Itachi once said, every jutsu has a weakness. Even the perfect form of Susanoo isn't invincible. No matter how huge or tough the body is, the caster only sits in a small space in the forehead. It's much easier to break that spot than the entire body...!
Sasuke stared at him and thought coldly:
Is he trying the same trick Kakashi used? That only worked because of the Uchiha's eye techniques. You, Naruto… You think you can break through with just brute strength? You're dreaming.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Still, Sasuke didn't hold back.
He made Susanoo fire several arrows
Naruto weaved through them at high speed, dodging with precision!
"Tsk."
Sasuke growled,
"He's using Sage Mode's perception to dodge. His left eye can manipulate gravity to fly… and the lightning armor gives him speed. But it's pointless. You can't touch me, Naruto! You can't even lay a hand on me!"
But Naruto had only one target in mind:
The square core in Susanoo's forehead, the cockpit where Sasuke sat.
Swish!
As he sprinted forward, a Rasengan formed in his left hand
But this time, he channeled a massive amount of purple lightning chakra into it!
Crack! Crack...!
The Rasengan's shape began to change
Until it transformed into a glowing, four-foot-long spiral lightning sword in Naruto's hand!
"This is my strongest jutsu right now… Even more powerful than the Third Raikage's Hell Stab!"
Combining it with his full-speed charge,
Naruto thrust the lightning blade straight at Susanoo—
—Thunder Spiral Sword!!
Snap!!
The tip of the lightning sword pierced into the forehead barrier
And the spiraling energy expanded the opening wide enough for a person to break through!
"What!?"
Sasuke's eyes went wide in shock—
Snap~!
The lightning sword faded from Naruto's hand
And he reached out to grab Sasuke with his bare hands!
Even though Sasuke didn't want to believe Naruto could break through
He had learned from the Kakashi incident to stay cautious.
—Amaterasu!
—Inferno Style: Flame Control!!
Sasuke's eyes locked on, and a wall of black flames erupted in front of him, trying to block Naruto's advance.
But Naruto didn't stop.
He charged through the wall of black flames
And grabbed Sasuke by the throat with his left hand!
Boom!!
Naruto, clutching Sasuke, burst out from behind Susanoo.
Then
The blindfold over Naruto's left eye lit up and froze:
—Hungry Path: Chakra Absorption!
Whoosh!
The black flames of Amaterasu were instantly absorbed into Naruto's body.
Even Sasuke's chakra started draining through Naruto's hand!
As his chakra slipped away, Sasuke's strength faded.
His Sharingan deactivated
And in the air behind Naruto, Sasuke's Susanoo collapsed into pieces!
Uchiha Sasuke, was defeated.
"Why… why is the gap between us still this big…?"
As he fell through the air, Sasuke stared at Naruto
His figure fading into the sky above
And whispered in disbelief.
