Chapter 347: Chapter 348: Analysis in the Heat of Battle
Sasuke stared at the system interface displayed before him, his entire being momentarily frozen in shock.
'Asura chakra...'
'No wonder Naruto feels different. So, he's awakened Asura chakra!'
But the system is asking me to analyze and observe Asura chakra. Can I really master it just by observing?
Do I already have this kind of ability?
If that's the case, then doesn't it mean I can also observe and analyze other kekkei genkai?
After all, whether it's Wood Release or Ice Release, they're all just variations of chakra.
Mastering a single nature transformation is one thing, but fusing two nature transformations to create a new one is much harder.
"Sasuke... what are you looking at?!"
"We're in the middle of a fight!"
"Do you really look down on me that much?"
Naruto's voice suddenly rang out. In the midst of such an intense battle, Sasuke had lost focus.
This only fueled Naruto's anger even more.
Boom! Boom!
Chakra arms surged from both sides, slamming toward Sasuke with immense force.
The moment Sasuke snapped back to reality, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Wall!"
Boom! Boom!
Instantly, a surge of water rose, forming a semicircular barrier that enveloped Sasuke.
This time, the water didn't come from Sasuke's mouth but erupted from the lake beneath his feet.
When Naruto's chakra arms collided with the water wall,
despite being made of water, the defense felt as solid as steel.
Even sturdier than steel.
Completely unshakable.
This was!
Uchiha Sasuke!
His mastery of ninjutsu practically surpassed every ninja in the shinobi world.
Even a casually released technique had this level of power.
Naruto quickly retracted his chakra.
At the same time,
Sasuke heard the system's notification.
[Host used Water Release to block an attack. Asura chakra analysis +1.3%]
[Current mastery of Asura chakra: 1.4% ↑]
It increased just like that?
A faint smile appeared on Sasuke's lips. It seemed that engaging in battle with Naruto could continuously enhance the analysis of Asura chakra.
And he understood what this meant.
The more intense the battle, the more varied the attacks, the faster Naruto's Asura chakra could be analyzed.
Sasuke's eyes locked onto Naruto's body.
At this moment, Naruto had just retracted his chakra.
Sasuke immediately unleashed a jutsu.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
As the storm surged forth,
Sasuke exhaled the gust of wind while simultaneously inhaling sharply with an eerie level of control.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Blaze Technique!"
"Combined Ninjutsu: Blazing Great Breakthrough!"
Boom!
The raging flames swept across the lake's surface in an instant.
The intense heat caused the water to evaporate rapidly.
Facing such a ninjutsu attack, Naruto instinctively wanted to dodge, but behind him were countless Konoha ninja on the lake's shore!
Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Kurama! Give me your chakra!"
Hearing this, Kurama nodded.
He had just given Naruto Sage chakra, and now he was providing Tailed Beast chakra.
The two types of chakra weren't the same energy.
Naruto still couldn't perfectly control both, but in this critical moment, there was no time to worry about that.
Red chakra erupted as Naruto instantly entered the Four-Tails state.
The horizontal pupils representing Sage Mode now had an additional vertical line.
A cross-shaped pattern appeared in Naruto's eyes.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Sage Kurama Mode?
But this was only a prototype, far from the true Sage Kurama Mode seen in the original story.
Moreover!
Naruto's Asura chakra likely hadn't fully awakened.
Otherwise, his power would be even greater.
Still, even now, the moment Naruto received the Nine-Tails' chakra, his chakra cloak erupted, forming two massive red hands.
They stood like walls in front of him.
The blazing flames collided, perfectly blocked by Naruto's chakra arms.
The flames continued to surge, but Naruto held his ground.
At that moment, Sasuke finished his jutsu, and in the next second, a bolt of lightning shot from his body.
Simultaneously, Sasuke himself dashed forward like a flash of lightning.
'Lightning Release: Lightning Body Flicker!'
In an instant, he transformed into lightning and charged at Naruto, the chirping of birds echoing from the Kusanagi sword in his hand.
At the same time, the system's display popped up again.
[Host used a combined ninjutsu attack. Asura chakra analysis +3.7%]
[Current mastery of Asura chakra: 5.1% ↑]
Just two attacks, and the progress had increased this much.
A faint smile crept onto Sasuke's lips. The storm of attacks had only just begun, Naruto.
Crack!
The lightning transformed into Sasuke's figure, first delivering a powerful kick aimed at Naruto, who caught it with his hand.
With the combined power of Sage chakra and Tailed Beast chakra, Naruto's strength was now on par with Sasuke's.
At the same time, the sound of chirping birds echoed.
Black lightning flashed as the Chidori Blade suddenly cut through the water, slashing toward Naruto.
In a hurried moment, Naruto could only block with a Rasengan.
A hastily formed Rasengan was no match for Sasuke's attack.
But blocking it momentarily was enough.
The Chidori Blade was deflected by the Rasengan.
As Naruto's body was forced back, he suddenly realized something about the ankle he was still holding.
He wanted to let go, but it was too late.
'Lightning Release: Shadow Clone!'
'Explode!'
The shadow clone transformed into black lightning, striking Naruto.
Electricity coursed through his body, causing a brief moment of paralysis.
In that instant!
Lightning Speed!
Monstrous Strength Punch!
Sasuke accelerated instantly, his fist slamming into Naruto's chest like a cannonball.
The force of the punch created a shockwave that rippled outward, one after another.
The resulting storm swept across the lake in all directions.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Naruto's body skidded across the water's surface, cutting through the lake like a blade and splitting it in two. Boom!!
In an instant, he crossed the entire lake and crashed into the opposite shore.
Dust and water sprayed into the air.
At this moment, Kakashi and the others stared in shock at Sasuke, who stood calmly on the rippling lake.
His body rose and fell with the waves.
But the black lightning on his Kusanagi sword still flickered.
Sasuke appeared completely unfazed.
Yet, the sheer power of his attacks had left everyone utterly stunned.
[Host... attack, Asura chakra analysis +5.3%]
[Current mastery of Asura chakra: 10.4% ↑]
He had successfully analyzed 10% of Asura chakra.
With a bit more fighting, Sasuke believed it wouldn't be long before he fully mastered Asura chakra.
And once he did, unlocking the dual Rinnegan would be no joke!
Sasuke couldn't help but smile. The power of the dual Rinnegan was no laughing matter!
