Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 622 The Final Ending [Part 1]

Naruto Uzumaki's lips twitched as he looked at the longsword made of black flames in Sasuke's hand...

This thing... is it Amaterasu?

Amaterasu can be used like this?!

The position of the arena proctor:

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Uchiha Itachi: "The Amaterasu Flame... it can actually change form like this?"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

I don't know! I can't do it!

Itachi Uchiha felt a surge of satisfaction as he watched Sasuke transform Amaterasu's flames into a longsword and hold it in his hand.

This child... will definitely surpass himself in the future.

Itachi Uchiha firmly believed this.

……

Uchiha Clan Residence:

"This...you implanted the Six Paths Chakra into that child's body?" Uchiha Mikoto looked at Uchiha Fugaku in surprise.

Fugaku shook his head: "No, I didn't. This is... the Mangekyou Sharingan that the child awakened on his own."

Fugaku Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, and he began to have complete faith in Itachi Uchiha's judgment.

Itachi Uchiha previously approached Fugaku Uchiha, suggesting that the way the Uchiha clan awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan might simply require strong stimulation.

It's not necessary to have hatred, loathing, or killing a loved one to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.

As long as the emotions are strong enough, whether it's love, friendship, family affection, or any other possible emotion, the Mangekyou Sharingan can be awakened on its own.

As for what he learned from Fugaku Uchiha, there was once a member of the Uchiha clan who killed his entire family in order to obtain the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. In the end, he actually obtained the power and wanted to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—at that time, the Jinchuriki was Kushina Uzumaki—in order to overthrow Yua's regime.

However, it was later suppressed by Youya.

It is said that Itachi Uchiha was very surprised when he found out.

Because Yua's image in Konoha Village is mostly that of a cheerful and gentle Hokage, to be honest, Itachi Uchiha couldn't imagine him fighting with others.

However, Fugaku Uchiha clearly told him that Yua, as the Hokage, was actually very strong in combat, extremely strong.

Even the Susanoo of their Uchiha clan couldn't compete with the Great Buddha ninjutsu used by the Hokage.

All we can say is that Yuya is likely an enhanced version of the First Hokage plus.

In terms of combat power, he is probably not much inferior, and at the same time, he has a strong governing ability that the First Hokage did not have.

All I can say is that it's wonderful that Yuya became the Third Hokage.

Although……

Thinking about how the Uchiha clan has gone from such a large clan territory to just a few courtyards crammed together, and how the original clan territory has begun to be developed, supposedly to be transformed into a super factory for Konoha's livelihood, where all the water, electricity, and gas used by Konoha's villagers will come from this factory, and this factory is also one of the experimental sites proposed by Yua for a recyclable livelihood factory.

Hmm, Fugaku Uchiha doesn't really understand, but seeing his clan's territory developed like this...

How should I put it? I just felt really strange.

On one hand, he was thinking that he should have some objections to the Uchiha clan's territory being taken away.

However, on the other hand, Youya also shifted the responsibility of managing the factory to him, so it's hard to say whether he made a profit or a loss.

after all……

This involves the water and electricity supply for an entire village, so there can be absolutely no problems.

The responsibility is heavy, and so is the power.

Anyone who disobeys will have their water, electricity, internet, and gas cut off; they basically won't be able to survive in Konoha Village.

This power is considerable.

He sighed, cleared his mind of the thoughts, and focused his attention on the competition in front of him.

Without a doubt, Sasuke proved to all members of the Uchiha clan that as long as your emotions reach a certain peak, it is possible to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

If you can't do that, it means you haven't reached the peak of your emotions, and you're not quite there yet.

Sasuke was able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan because he was stimulated by this guy named Naruto.

That's true. Sasuke was once considered a peerless genius by all the Uchiha clan members, and many even compared him to Madara.

Many people say that Sasuke is likely to be the strongest member of the Uchiha clan after Madara.

Sasuke didn't show it on the surface, but he was secretly delighted.

Unfortunately, everything ended after he met Naruto Uzumaki.

Losing, losing, losing, and losing forever!

They've all graduated from school and they're still losing!

Sasuke was not convinced.

Why should I?!

Why is he always a loser?!

Ultimately, driven by his strong sense of defiance, he broke free from the kaleidoscope's confinement.

They were given a new lease on life.

only……

Looking at Naruto surrounded by natural energy, Fugaku was still somewhat flustered.

Can we win or not?!

He certainly knew how powerful Sage Mode was.

Even though Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, you can't really say he's guaranteed to win...

That's definitely impossible.

Everything depends on how long Naruto can maintain his Sage Mode.

then……

In the arena:

The natural energy around Naruto slowly dissipated, and he returned to his normal appearance.

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! I thought you could maintain that state indefinitely, but it seems your so-called Sage Mode has a significant time limit?!"

Naruto was quite helpless; the limitation and weakness of Sage Mode was indeed a very real problem.

If he were older and fully matured, he might be able to extend the duration of Sage Mode a bit.

but now……

He really couldn't extend the time any further; five minutes was the limit.

Sasuke wasn't going to hold back. Since he had already awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, even if Amaterasu hit Naruto and set his body on fire, as long as he was declared the winner, he could use his eyes to destroy Amaterasu.

Then, I can win fair and square!

Sasuke felt a surge of heat in his heart!

How many years has it been?!

After all these years, I'm finally going to win!

Sasuke charged toward Naruto, slashing at him with the longsword formed from Amaterasu fire.

Although you can tell from the way Sasuke is slashing around, his swordsmanship is really terrible.

But there's nothing that can be done about it, since whether it's Fugaku or Itachi, the training sessions they give Sasuke are always the same few things.

Shūriki, fire-style techniques, and the like.

In terms of swordsmanship...

There really isn't anyone sparring with Sasuke.

Itachi looked at the situation on the field and stroked his chin.

He had already started thinking about how to find Shisui to give Sasuke special sword training.

After all, Shisui's strengths extend far beyond just the Body Flicker Technique...
