Note: Since we've all read and watched the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, battles and all, Choji, Neji, Kiba, and Lee's fights will be skipped, and then some.
OP1: Overwhelming Vivid Days by Nanami Yoshi
Konoha Forest
"Their scents were joined by two new traces, but now the original five are leaving the blood zone," Kiba informed his team as they jump from tree branch to tree branch in their pursuit for Sasuke and the Sound Four. "What do we do Shikamaru?"
"Considering they've already fought once, they'll be more guarded," Shikamaru responds. "They'd clearly consider the possibility that they're being tailed by an elite tracking unit. Chances are...they've laid traps and are lying in wait. Put all your senses on alert. We'll find them before they spring a mine at us. If you hit on any unusual signs, don't just avoid it. Interpret it..."
As soon as Kiba smells the enemy, Shikamaru gestures them to stop with a hand signal. Looking up, Neji notes the six explosive bombs that formed a perimeter barrier, Choji unable to understand it.
"A booby trap ninjutsu that triggers if we enter a specified area," Naruto explains. "I'd disable them, but there's a possibility they'll take notice of this. We'll need to make a detour." Surveying the area, they find wire traps placed on the ground.
"Judging by the layout, it seems that they set it all up in haste, meaning they're on break," Neji adds. "Either they're wounded, or it's just a ruse." Activating his Byakugan, Neji finds the Sound Four taking a rest up ahead, having received moderate injuries from fighting two Hidden Leaf Jonin earlier. "Got them..."
"Alright, As soon as I knock out a strategy, we'll hit our target," said Shikamaru.
With the Sound Four
"Here we are, in such a hurry...And what are we doing? Kicking our feet up," said Sakon, sounding tired. Tayuya tells him it couldn't be helped since fighting with the Cursed Seal Level 2 took a toll on them.
"The toughest part is being unable to use our bodies for a while," Jirobo adds.
"If we'd held back, we'd be dead right now," Kidomaru finished.
With Sasuke Retrieval Team
"Kiba, make sure you time the smoke bomb accurately. It's imperative," Shikamaru told his teammate, who assures him he knows. "All right. Let's split into two groups. Now...Where's Naruto?" Turning around, they find the blond absent.
"Did he just go off on his own!?" Kiba angrily whispered, doing so in order to prevent the Sound Four from hearing him.
"Whatever his reason for ditching us, we need to execute this plan."
Back with the Sound Four, Kidomaru feels a bit of a tug from the string wrapped around his right thumb, his teammates also taking notice. Sakon throws a kunai, with three explosive tags attached to it towards a hidden Shikamaru and Neji, forcing them to come out of cover before the tags explode.
"Well, well," said Tayuya. The things you find in the underbrush. I was expecting a snake. Turns out it was just a couple of bugs." Before Jirobo could attack, Shikamaru puts his hands in front of him and tells them to wait, and to hold on a second.
"We didn't come to fight! We're here to negotiate," he told them.
"Then what's your explanation for this!?" asked Kidomaru, tugging at the strings wrapped around his fingers to reveal an ensnared Kiba and Choji. With a smirk, Kiba threw down a smoke bomb in front of the Sound ninjas, who looked unimpressed as Kiba and Choji land next to Shikamaru and Neji.
"Now, time to-" Before Kidomaru could finish, he and his teammates found themselves unable to move. "What? My body..." Looking down, the enemy finds their shadows connected to Shikamaru's.
"Shadow Possession Technique...As expected from a member of the Nara Clan," said Sakon.
"Alright, Choji, grab the container with Sasuke in it and-"
"However, you're a shadow short," Sakon interrupts, Ukon, his twin brother, managing to throw a few Shuriken at Shikamaru, injuring him a bit and making him break his hold on them as Jirobo used Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness to trap the four. Once Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Neji were trapped, Ukon merged himself back into his brother. Inside, the four find their chakra being drained by Jirobo. Kiba uses Fang Over Fang with Akamaru to try and break through it, failing to as the destroyed area repairs itself.
"It was stupid to charge in before we figured out our enemies' powers...Winding up in a mess like this..."
"Jirobo, keep them contained. Once you're done absorbing all their chakra-"
"GIANT RASENGAN!" The Sound Four gets startled when Naruto thrusts the giant sphere of chakra into the thinnest part of the dome opposite of where Jirobo was standing, breaking it and freeing his teammates.
"Where did he come from?" asked Tayuya. "We didn't even sense him."
"Naruto, you knew it was flawed, didn't you? My strategy?" asked Shikamaru, the blond nodding his head yes.
"I didn't want to say anything since I wanted to put the team's trust in you," Naruto explained.
"Though you should've spoken up about it, since you saved us, I'll let it slide," Shikamaru told him.
"JIROBO, COVER OUR ESCAPE!" yelled Sakon, the large man nodding his head before throwing a large volume of earth he ripped from the ground at them.
"HOLY SHIT!" yelled Kiba. With Choji's help, Naruto destroyed the mass of dirt with a combined punch, Naruto noting out loud how Choji really did strike just as hard as him.
"Thanks, Naruto," said an appreciative Choji. Noticing Jirobo's teammates escaping with Sasuke, Kiba tries to go after them, only to be knocked back by Jirobo himself.
"I won't let any of you get past me," he told them, assuming a sumo stance.
"You guys go ahead, I'll finish this guy and-"
"No Naruto," said Choji. "You're our best chance at getting Sasuke back." Before he continued, Choji hands Shikamaru a bag of military ration pills. "If anyone's fighting this guy, it's going to be me and me alone. If we fight him all at once while his allies make a break for it, we won't get Sasuke back."
"Choji...Don't tell me." Understanding Choji's plan, Naruto tells Shikamaru they had to catch up to the other members of the Sound Four, his fellow chunin asking him if he was nuts.
"Choji, can you truly handle this guy?" asked Naruto. The Akamichi boy asked Naruto why he was asking that question instead of going after the three Sound Ninjas.
"I'll catch up to you guys after, don't worry." Nodding, Naruto, Kiba, and Neji rush after the three Sound Ninjas, Shikamaru being the last to leave, but not before telling Choji, "You better catch up to us. You got that Choji?" His friend said nothing as he gave him a thumbs-up, engaging Jirobo after.
As they went after the three members of the Sound Four, Neji asked Shikamaru and Naruto if Choji had an ace up his sleeve, the blond deciding to stay silent as he focused on looking forward.
"He brought the Akimichi Clan's Secret Triple Threat with him," Shikamaru responds as they trailed the enemy. "Naruto knows about it as well. Green, Yellow, Red. The triad of colored pellets, Sanshokugan, can give you explosive power. With that, he should be able to finish the match quickly and meet up with us."
"...You guys know that Akamaru can judge an enemy's strength by their scent, right..." said Kiba. "He's worried whether those colored pills alone can help Choji win against that monster..."
"I too am worried about Choji's safety," Neji adds. "Choji may as well stand zero chance against him." Hearing this, Naruto stops moving, the boys taking notice. "Naruto?"
"I'm sorry, did you say that Choji stood zero chance against that giant meatball?" Naruto asked. "He'll win his fight. Have more confidence in him. If you do so much as say he doesn't stand a chance...he might as well be dead by now."
"Naruto..."
"I may not have been in a lot of missions with Choji like Shikamaru to know what he's capable of, but to volunteer to stay back and fight that man...that speaks volumes. You two should put just as much faith in him as you do your own teammates. Don't forget that..." Finished, he tells them, "Let's get a move on," before continuing the chase.
"You heard him, let's get a move on," said Shikamaru, feeling motivated by Naruto's words towards his friend. After carving directions for Choji onto a tree, should he win his battle, the four boys continue their chase.
"We're close," Kiba informed them, having sniffed out their scent. Neji notes how the three remaining Sound Ninjas haven't laid a single trap down following their separation from Jirobo, asking Shikamaru what he thinks was going on.
"They're underestimating us," he said. "They think Mr. Hefty's the only one who's going to be catching up with them. No one lays traps against their allies."
"They don't think we can do it, huh..." Neji said in a calm manner. "But, this gives us the perfect chance to strike." Up ahead, the three Sound Ninjas look back and see Jirobo heading towards them, Sakon asking him what took him so long, the large man telling them how it took longer for him to drain the boys of their chakra.
"Hey fatso, we don't have time to fart around!" Tayuya yelled in a rude manner. "Carry the casket! Be useful for once!"
"Okay..." Tayuya, Sakon, and Kidomaru looked at Jirobo with suspicion, Kidomaru asking him if he was feeling ill.
"Whaddya mean?" asked Jirobo.
"Means I ain't handing the casket over to you!" Kidomaru yelled. "'Cuz you ain't Jirobo!" Kidomaru throws Tayuya the casket, allowing her and Sakon to leave before engaging "Jirobo" in close quarters. "Jirobo's always scolding Tayuya about her language."
"That so..." said "Jirobo", who was revealed to be Shikamaru.
"Ninja Art: Kumoshibari! Spider Web Net!" The Sound Ninja spits some webbing at Shikamaru, sticking him against the side of a tree.
"Heads up, Man-Spider!" yelled Naruto appearing above the Sound Ninja, who spews a large net of webbing at him. Kidomaru's eyes widened when Naruto, kunais in hand, spun his body, using his ki to set the kunai blades on fire as he creates a 360-degree slash to destroy the webbing before kicking the Sound Ninja down.
"What!?"
"KIBA NOW!"
"Fang Over Fang!" Noticing Kiba's attack, Kidomaru stops himself from falling by shooting webbing from all six of his hands, letting him and Akamaru pass by before dodging Neji's surprise attack from behind, just as Naruto freed Shikamaru.
"I'll make sure none of you gets past me. Not only are you up against one of Orochimaru's strongest, but you're also up against a former member of the Black Spider Ninja Clan."
"Guess I know who killed Yogenta," Naruto thought to himself as he and the others wondered what the next course of action was.
"That blond kid...If I let him go ahead..."
"Shikamaru, you go on ahead with Naruto and Kiba." When asked why, Neji informed them that his Byakugan has identified the webbing Kidomaru was using. "They're a mix of his spit and chakra. Because of this, my Gentle Fist makes me the perfect opponent for him."
"Are you sure?" Kiba asked the Hyuga.
"Yes, now go." Nodding in agreement, Shikamaru tells Naruto and Kiba to continue the chase before rushing past Kidomaru, who tries to stop them with his webbing, only for Neji to blast it to pieces with a vacuum palm.
"Two enemies left up ahead...If we do it right, the next mission will be a success."
With Orochimaru
Hideout
"Where is Sasuke?" Orochimaru asked Kabuto, sounding angry and in pain as his rotted limbs ached.
"Running late," he told his master. When Kabuto suggests he take other bodies, even his own, Orochimaru adamantly tells him it had to be Sasuke before screaming in pain once more.
"Damn...I'll have to arrange for a selecting. Also...I'll need to send out Kimimaro..."
With the Sasuke Retrieval Team
Naruto has his clone throw him at high speed, launching him forward as he rammed into Sakon, knocking him into a tree before punching Tayuya in the face, making her let go of the casket Sasuke's in as she lands on a tree branch.
"You don't waste any time, do you?" Kiba asked Naruto as he prepares to grab the casket, only to get knocked aside by Sakon, who grabs hold of the casket, only for Naruto to knee him in the stomach before kicking him with both feet, knocking him to the ground. Naruto then grabbed the casket, telling Sasuke, "You are so grounded when we get back to the Hidden Leaf..."
"Alright, casket recovered, let's haul ass!" yelled Shikamaru, Naruto, Kiba, and Akamaru nodding in agreement as they turned around and started rushing back to the village.
"You...You brats...YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!" yelled Sakon, having activated his cursed seal to increase his physical capabilities. Kiba tells Akamaru to cover their escape. Understanding, Akamaru places an explosive tag on a tree branch as the three boys made their escape. Before he could go back to his owner, Akamaru leg gets snagged on a small twig and falls on the tree's leaves. Seeing his dog in trouble, Kiba goes back for him just as Sakon prepares to attack the whimpering Akamaru. Once the explosive tag blows up, Kiba, Akamaru, and Sakon are sent falling down the cliff below them.
Naruto hands Shikamaru the casket before going down to save Kiba and Akamaru. He is stopped, however, when he gets kicked away by a man with pale skin, vivid green eyes, angular facial features, two scarlet dots on his forehead, and shoulder-length white hair. As the blond crashed into the ground, the man swiftly knocks Shikamaru aside and takes back the casket, just as Tayuya arrived, who looked surprised to see the man.
"Why are you here, Kimimaro?" she asked. "Your body can't-"
"I no longer move using flesh," said the man known as Kimimaro. "I use the power of my mind...I can feel it now...I feel released from the prison of the flesh...as if I can feel a small part of Lord Orochimaru's dream...A shame you were too late, Tayuya. Lord Orochimaru has been forced to transfer to another body because you were all too late."
"Quite a shame, huh?" said Naruto, as he got up, wiping the trickle of blood off his lip. "Hard to believe two chunin, three genin, and a dog foiled your plans." This served to piss off the two Sound Ninjas as Naruto gave them a mocking smirk. Keeping his cool, Kimimaro told Tayuya to keep them busy while he brings the casket to their master. After her teammate leaves with Sasuke, Tayuya pulls out a flute as Shikamaru recovers and appears next to Naruto.
"What, are you about to play the theme for "TITANIC" for us?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto...go on ahead," he told Naruto. "As of now, you're the only one who can catch up to that guy."
"No, we can beat her together, Shikamaru." Shikamaru tells Naruto he'd only slow him down, and that, at most, he can fight Tayuya. "Only you can bring Sasuke back now. Now go. That's an order."
"...You better win this fight." With a simple step, Naruto disappears.
Hidden Leaf Village
"They're what!?" Ayane shouts, having been informed of the situation involving Sasuke alongside a distraught Kakashi.
"I had no choice," Tsunade told the young kunoichi. "You know how things are at the moment."
"I was afraid this was going to happen," said Kakashi, who leaves to go after Naruto and Sasuke, Ayane doing the same as Tsunade told them they were needed for another mission, only for Ayane to yell, "Ask someone else!"
Konoha Forest
Reaching Kimimaro, Naruto throws a ki-enhanced fist at him, who blocks it with a shield made of his own bones, a shield the blond destroys, to the Sound Ninja's surprise as he felt Naruto's fist connect to his face, sending him flying into an open plain of grass.
"It's impossible for someone to break my shield of bones, which should be as tough as steel."
"Sorry to disappoint, but my fists are tougher than steel, following a battle with a sand-user from the Hidden Sand," Naruto told him, cracking his knuckles. "After that fight, I had to go through intense training that repeatedly fractured the bones in my limbs, but also increased their hardness after recovery, elevating them enough to give me a bit of an advantage in this fight. Now start talking. What does Orochimaru want with Sasuke?"
"...Lord Orochimaru has already mastered the art of immortality. However, it takes time to learn everything. You see, immortality doesn't mean your flesh lives on as is...Before the body decays, another strong body must be obtained as a vessel for the soul," Kimimaro explains as he sets down the casket.
"In short, Sasuke is like a new pair of clothes for your master?"
"Precisely."
"Not really immortality if you need to transfer his soul before the current body dies. Second, I am not letting that happen."
[Naruto Shippuden OST - Kokuten]
Kimimaro grows a sharp bone out of his right palm and thrusts it forward, Naruto sidestepping it before jumping back to avoid the bones protruding from his right arm. Turning to face the casket, Naruto goes for it, only to stop in his tracks when the Sound Ninja fires bone bullets from his fingertips. Naruto looked surprised when the ninja sprouts more sharp bones from all over his body.
"Marrow from the X-Men called, she may be suing for copyri-" Naruto continues on the offensive as he avoids being cut or stabbed by the bone protrusions. After kicking him back with a chakra-enhanced dropkick, breaking a few of the bones protruding out Kimimaro's chest, the blond throws a giant ball of compressed air at him, shattering all the bones protruding from the Sound Ninja.
Angered, Kimimaro replaced the broken bone protrusions with new ones before activating his cursed seal and jumping at Naruto and swinging his left leg at him, a bone protruding from the bottom of his foot.
Naruto catches him by the bone protrusion from his foot, breaking it off before throwing it at his chest and kicking it deeper in, knocking him down onto the grass. Getting up, Kimimaro painfully pulls out the bone, angrily yelling in pain after, the wound closing in an instant.
"Should've drank some milk before you faced me. It's supposed to make your bones stronger, ya know," Naruto joked, keeping his blank expression as he readied himself.
[Music End]
The two stop their mortal combat once the seal keeping Sasuke in his casket dissipates and he emerges.
"Sasuke?"
"He has awoken to a new level of power," said Kimimaro.
"I see you're done with your little nap. Sakura's worried sick about you, and she asked me to take you back to-" The blond falls silent once Sasuke starts laughing to himself, making the blond uneasy. Sensing his chakra, Naruto noticed Sasuke's power was now just as strong as his. It was even darker than the first time he witnessed Sasuke use the cursed seal, back in the Forest of Death. Right away, Sasuke runs off to meet up with Orochimaru, to Naruto's annoyance.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me..." Before Naruto could go after his teammate, Kimimaro prepares to attack him from behind using a katana made out of bone. He is stopped, however, by the now-arrived and fully recovered Rock Lee, who uses Leaf Whirlwind to knock the Sound Ninja away from the blond.
"Lee?"
"Who?"
"The Hidden Leaf's Blue Beast...IS BACK! The name's Rock Lee!" Looking at Naruto, he told him to go after Sasuke, assuring him that he'll handle Kimimaro. "Leave this guy to me."
"...Lee...Thank you." After Lee gives him a thumbs up for assurance, the blond advanced towards his teammate.
With Ayane
Ayane helps slow down the Secret Triple Threat's poisoning effects on Choji using her ki before Kakashi picks him up and decides to take him back to the village so he can get him medical attention and more Jonin.
"You think you can go on ahead? Save others you find until help arrives?" asked Kakashi.
"Yeah."
Valley of the End
Naruto shouts Sasuke's name as he lands on top of the statue of Hashirama Senju, The First Hokage. Across from him was his teammate, who was on top of the statue of Madara Uchiha. Between them, a waterfall.
"Enough running, Sasuke. If you don't stop, I'll take you back by force." Turning around to face the blond, Sasuke told him, "I'd like to see you try...Like I already told Sakura...Leave me alone."
"Pushing others away...For what? Power?" Naruto said, narrowing his eyes at Sasuke. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"That is none of your business," Sasuke told his teammate.
"It is, especially since we're teammates. Even...acquaintances, with a high possibility to become friends."
"Become friends, huh...I have no obligation to be friends with you or anyone. I have my own path to walk, one that has no room for bonds." Naruto calls his response bull, telling him there was always room for bonds. "Just go home, Naruto. You came all the way here for nothing."
"I came here for nothing? Choji, Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru, Lee...They risked their lives for you. Does that not mean anything to you?"
"And what about you? Back before you left the village, you had eyes that told me you wanted nothing to do with the village. You wanted to sever ties with it, just like I am now," Sasuke countered.
"Because it wasn't too late for me. Because it wasn't too late, I understand the importance of bonds. The power bonds give that makes you stronger."
"Did having these so-called bonds make me stronger? Did it allow me to achieve my goal of killing my brother?" Naruto stayed silent, unwilling to answer the question. "I'm going to Orochimaru, and you're not going to stop me." In an instant, Naruto tackled his teammate to the ground, raising his right fist at him.
"Orochimaru killed the Old Man and tried to destroy the village! Do you think he's going to just give you power for free!? He wants you like a new set of clean clothes to walk around in! You might not be able to come back!"
"That's fine, as long as I achieve my goal, that's enough," Sasuke said, making Naruto angrier. "Come to think of it, we never finished our fight up on the hospital roof."
"I did not want that fight..."
"Who cares what you want?" Without hesitation, Sasuke punched Naruto in the stomach, nearly knocking the wind out of him, to the latter's surprise, punching him the second time to knock him into the water below. Looking down at his hands, Sasuke looked surprised by his new power before smiling to himself.
"What is this power? This power...surging inside me...So this is what Orochimaru was talking about. My body's adapting already! So much power so quickly, enough to catch up to Naruto. Once the cursed seal is unsealed, how powerful will I be?" Down below, Naruto gets up on the water's surface, coughing up some water.
"You're going to have a lot of trouble with this fight unless you use my power, Naruto. You're kidding yourself if you think your power alone can stop him."
"Shut...up..." Naruto told the fox as he stood up and glared at his teammate. "It seems I'll need to get even serious with him."
[FATE/STAY NIGHT [HEAVEN'S FEEL] II. LOST BUTTERFLY OST - come on, make your move]
Naruto runs at Sasuke at blind speed, dodging the volley of fireballs he spewed from his mouth. Getting close enough to kick his opponent up into the air, quickly producing two clones that kick him higher into the air before the original appears from above and brings his left fist down on his face. Sasuke recovers quick enough to cross block it as Naruto sends them both crashing into the water below.
The Uchiha spins his body, sweeping Naruto off his feet with a kick, the blond catching himself and keeping a distance between him and Sasuke, who immediately closed it and swung his left knee at the blond's face.
Naruto puts his right arm in front of him to block it before blocking Sasuke's right foot with his forearm and ducking a punch. He retaliates by going in a boxing pose and hitting his with a right hook, then a left one, knocking Sasuke back before performing a ki-enhanced superman punch. While the Uchiha blocks it, it breaks his defense, leaving him open. Transitioning into a handstand, Sasuke kicks his feet forward at Naruto, who blocks a few, getting hit a couple of times before avoiding a helicopter kick. Weaving hand signs, Naruto fires off a few small blasts of wind chakra from his mouth, Sasuke dodging all of them.
"Beast Tearing Gale Palm!" Naruto infuses his right hand with and condenses a mass amount of wind-chakra to form a massive demonic-like claw punch Sasuke, knocking him into the Madara statue's foot.
"Did that wake you up?" Naruto asked as Sasuke got up.
"I've been wide awake," he told the blond. "Awake to who I am for a while, even while I was trying to be like all of you...Dreaming about a future that isn't going to come!" Naruto went on the defensive as Sasuke comes at him, throwing punches and kicks that were far faster and stronger than yesterday as a few manage to hit the blond during the assault.
"That's why I left! What's why I seek power!" Breaking through Naruto's block with an upward swing of his right fist, Sasuke kicks Naruto hard in the stomach, cracking two of his left ribs as he sent him flying into Hashirama's statue's foot. "My dream isn't in the future. My dream...is rooted only in the past."
[Music End]
With Ayane
Konoha Forest
Checking on Neji, Ayane notes how strong his will was despite the hole in his left shoulder. After repairing said hole by bolstering his natural healing speed with her own chakra, Ayane told Neji to wait until help arrived.
"Thanks...Please hurry...to Naruto..."
With Naruto
Valley of the End
After coughing up some blood, Naruto painfully got up, clutching the area his cracked ribs were as his bones healed.
"That was a hell of a kick," he told Sasuke.
"That's because I intend to kill you, Naruto. After all...I consider you...my closest friend." The blond's eyes widened when Sasuke called him his closest friend, compared to himself, who considered him nothing more than a teammate and acquaintance.
"If I'm your friend...then why?
"That is why. You being my closest friend is reason enough for me to kill you." Running at each other, Naruto throws a right punch as Sasuke threw a left one, both opponents catch each other's fist with their opposite hands. The blond headbutts Sasuke, knocking him back a bit, though not before the Uchiha swiped a kunai from his pouch and threw it at him, though Naruto deflects it with a shuriken. As Sasuke charged a Chidori, Naruto forms a Rasengan into his right hand before they clashed, the force of both attacks sending them falling back before they splashed down into the water below them, floating upward a few seconds following the clash.
"Right now, all he can think about...All his energy, all his mind... is focused on how to kill me..." Getting up, Naruto noticed that his former teammate had activated his cursed seal.
"Did you know, Naruto...When two shinobi are of a high enough level, they can read each other's thoughts, through no more than a trade of blows...They don't need to say a word." Naruto stayed silent as he stared down the Uchiha. "Tell me, Naruto. Do you know my thoughts? Can you tell me...What's on my mind!?" As soon as Naruto dodged Sasuke's Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique, he found Sasuke's left foot connect to his right cheek before his body skids back on the water's surface. As Sasuke laid a beatdown on Naruto, the latter started pondering his thoughts.
"He calls me a friend, yet he wants to kill me because of it..." At this point, Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the collar of his jacket as he prepared another Chidori in his left hand. "Not only are you trying to kill me, you think nothing of the people who are risking their lives to bring you home, to save you from Orochimaru..." With a thrust from his left hand, Sasuke pierced through Naruto's right shoulder, who notes how he missed his heart due to the blond moving his hand away at the last second.
"You're still out a shoulder and a lung. You can't use your right arm, and you can't even breathe properly. Forget about using signs, or your techniques. That's all over." Having said that, Sasuke prepares to choke the life out of Naruto.
"You are so selfish..." Grabbing Sasuke's left wrist with his left hand, he applies enough pressure to crack the bones in it, forcing Sasuke to keep his distance from him as red chakra and purple ki envelop the blond.
"What!? Red chakra!? And...I'm sensing some other power. A dark one...Where did they come from?" As Naruto focused on his anger from almost being killed by the Uchiha, and from the mistakes he made from not doing more for the Uchiha, his wounds heal in an instant, which includes the large hole in his right shoulder. Following this, Naruto's hair turned a glowing red, his eyes turned red and slitted, and his body was enveloped by black, red, and purple ki.
"If you can't be swayed with words or by the lives risked to rescue you, how about I convince you otherwise? BY FORCE!? If it means I have to break you first before bringing you back to the Hidden Leaf and away from Orochimaru, then so be it..." Naruto told Sasuke in a calm but dark and demonic manner.
"What are you..."?
"MESSATSU!"
