Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Chakra Devouring
After Naruto jumped away, his gaze towards Sasuke was filled with apprehension.
'Is this the power of the Rinnegan?'
What Sasuke had just used was clearly not a ninjutsu, which meant it was a dojutsu.
And it was unlikely that the Sharingan's dojutsu included this, so the only guess was that it was the power of Sasuke's new eyes, the Rinnegan.
If that's the case!
Then the upcoming battle is going to be tough!
Outside the barrier, Ōnoki and the others watched Sasuke.
"He absorbed it... As I thought, I wasn't mistaken earlier. This guy absorbed the ninjutsu!"
Ōnoki furrowed his brow.
The ability to absorb ninjutsu meant that ninjutsu was completely useless against Sasuke.
Whether it was his Dust Release or ordinary ninjutsu.
Sasuke was already incredibly powerful, and with this ability, Ōnoki couldn't think of any way to deal with him.
Facing such a formidable Sasuke, coupled with this terrifying power, it was practically cheating...
"Naruto..."
Gaara was now also worried about Naruto.
It seemed that Naruto was relying on his immense chakra.
With the Nine-Tails, Naruto's chakra reserves were undoubtedly among the highest in the shinobi world.
But facing Sasuke, who could absorb ninjutsu attacks, it seemed that chakra could also be absorbed, rendering all ninjutsu attacks useless.
What would Naruto do next?
Kurama's mood was also very complicated. It never expected Sasuke to possess such power.
The power it took pride in had now become completely useless.
It could even inadvertently become a tool for the enemy.
"It looks like the only way to deal with him is with taijutsu!"
Naruto spoke, but Kurama felt that even that might not work!
Sasuke!
Uchiha Sasuke's taijutsu!
Kurama had seen it before that refined taijutsu could completely overwhelm Naruto.
But perhaps there was still a chance with the Frog Kata from Sage Mode.
"Kurama, cheer up! We haven't lost yet. Don't be so pessimistic!"
Hearing this, Kurama chuckled. "Kid, you should worry about how to deal with him first! Worrying about me?"
Hearing Kurama's voice, Naruto felt reassured.
If they gave up here, the battle ahead would only get harder!
"It seems you're not planning to make a move, so I'll take the initiative!"
Sasuke's voice rang out.
The lightning around his body erupted instantly!
The speed of his Shunshin was once again at full power. This time, Sasuke needed even greater speed to catch Naruto.
To absorb Naruto's chakra.
Whoosh!
In an instant, lightning flashed as Sasuke dashed straight toward Naruto.
But this time, it was Naruto who retreated.
While continuously backing away, Naruto pulled out a kunai, preparing to use shuriken to slow Sasuke's pursuit.
But when it came to shurikenjutsu,
Sasuke was far superior to Naruto.
In an instant, Sasuke also pulled out a large number of shuriken.
He threw them in rapid succession, a barrage of shuriken infused with Lightning Release shooting toward Naruto.
The speed was so fast that it instantly knocked down the kunai Naruto had thrown.
However, the shuriken Sasuke threw did not head directly toward Naruto.
Instead, they curved through the air, arcing toward Naruto's rear.
Naruto wanted to turn and see what Sasuke was doing.
But the next second, crackle...
Sasuke appeared right in front of Naruto, his hand reaching out to grab him.
Seeing Sasuke's movement, Naruto was momentarily stunned.
It was clear that Sasuke wasn't trying to attack him but to capture him.
Instinctively, Naruto dodged.
But the moment he dodged, Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.
A black rod shot out from his palm, piercing Naruto's shoulder.
The moment the black rod entered his body, Naruto was stunned. He could clearly feel the flow of his chakra slowing down significantly.
What was going on?
Before he could figure it out, Sasuke's second black rod shot toward him.
Naruto wasn't going to give Sasuke a chance to pierce him with a second rod.
He threw a punch directly at Sasuke.
Sasuke's attack was forced to halt. Naruto's current chakra reserves were astonishing, and even Sasuke couldn't take a direct hit from him.
Sasuke retreated to avoid the attack.
Naruto took the opportunity to create distance between them again.
But just as he had retreated a short distance and before he could steady himself,
black Lightning Release suddenly erupted.
Naruto looked back in surprise. The shuriken Sasuke had thrown earlier were now in this position.
The black lightning on them was still crackling.
The burst of Lightning Release instantly paralyzed Naruto's body, causing his movements to momentarily freeze.
Against an ordinary enemy, this wouldn't matter, but against Sasuke, even a momentary opening could decide the outcome.
Sasuke charged forward, two more black rods appearing in his hands as he pierced Naruto's body.
Naruto's chakra flow slowed even further, as if he had suddenly lost all strength.
The next second, Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the neck.
Chakra Absorption!
A steady stream of chakra was absorbed by Sasuke.
The analysis rate skyrocketed once again!
At this moment, outside the barrier, Gaara and the others watched the two with intense nervousness.
"What a brilliant plan!"
"This kid... he predicted Naruto's stopping point in advance!"
"Every attack was leading up to this moment!"
Compared to Sasuke's flashy ninjutsu, this kind of strategic offense was what truly terrified Ōnoki.
Pure strength alone didn't scare him, but someone like Sasuke, who not only had immense power but could also devise astonishing battle plans in an instant
every move calculated, every step premeditated that was the kind of enemy who was truly fearsome.
It was like fighting a puppeteer controlling a puppet. Battling such an enemy made you feel like a puppet yourself.
Terrifying!
At this moment, Naruto was caught by Sasuke, his chakra being continuously absorbed.
And Naruto couldn't resist or move at all.
The smile on Sasuke's face grew wider and wider.
[Asura Chakra Analysis]
[(50%]
[61%]
[76.6%]
As the Asura chakra continued to be analyzed, nearing 100%, Sasuke grew more and more excited.
The dual Rinnegan was about to awaken.
At the same time, the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai also improved due to absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra.
[Congratulations, host. Wood Release Kekkei Genkai has advanced.]
[Wood Release Kekkei Genkai: Stage 7]
[...: Stage 8]
After advancing two stages in a row, Sasuke could clearly feel his body becoming even more powerful.
At this moment, Sasuke even sensed a change in his Rinnegan.
A strange burning sensation appeared in his eyes.
The tomoe in Sasuke's Rinnegan spun rapidly... six of them.
