[Video Footage] Sasuke's right hand gripped Naruto's collar while his left crackled with Chidori lightning.
"It's too late now, Naruto!"
He paid no heed to the chakra swirling around Naruto this Chidori would kill him.
Naruto's eyes sharpened. Sasuke lunged, aiming the Chidori at Naruto's chest.
"Although you managed to block with your left hand, it's pointless now... You can't form hand seals or use that jutsu again."
He squeezed Naruto's throat.
"It's over!"
At that moment, Naruto's left hand clamped onto Sasuke's wrist, wrenching it free. Sasuke snarled, rubbing his arm.
"This red chakra..."
Tsunade: Wow, that secret's out!
Shikaku Nara: Ahem, Fifth Hokage, everyone already knows Naruto hosts the Nine-Tails...
Tsunade: Really? That old Third Hokage sure missed a lot!
[Video Footage] Naruto's mind flashed through memories of days spent with Sasuke. The lake's ripples spiraled wildly, and behind Naruto, a shadowy beast seemed to roar to life.
Sasuke gaped in shock.
"What is that?"
He watched Naruto's shoulder wound heal at impossible speed.
Naruto lifted his head, fury blazing.
"Sasuke! I will never hand you over to someone like Orochimaru!"
"Even if I have to break every bone in your body, I will stop you!"
With a flick, Naruto's red chakra faded. He swept his arm wide, unleashing a tremendous shockwave that blinded Sasuke.
Before Sasuke could recover, Naruto charged.
A brutal right hook drove into Sasuke's ribs. Sasuke's eyes rolled back this punch was pure power.
Naruto followed with a double-handed strike to Sasuke's face, sending him crashing into the water. Their fight descended into a desperate brawl.
Naruto didn't even dodge a fireball, taking every hit head-on.
...
Onlookers blinked in disbelief. These two, once genin-level, now fought like seasoned jonin one wielding the Sharingan, the other Nine-Tails chakra.
Their blows rained down with reckless precision, friend against friend.
Might Guy: Yes! This is youth go, Naruto!
Hatake Kakashi: Uh... they're my students, not yours!
Might Guy: Huh? Can't I cheer them on?
Hatake Kakashi: ...I guess so.
Onoki: Incredible such power in children. Imagine if they had combat experience...
Fourth Raikage Darui: Send in troops; we'll handle them shortly!
Itachi Uchiha: ...
Tsunade: You dare?!
Fourth Raikage Darui: Uh... sorry!
Mizukage Mei Terumi: Let's discuss this then we'll punish them!
Tsunade: You act like I'm not here!
Onoki: Exactly; we need a better plan.
Fourth Raikage Darui: Perfect with you on board, it's foolproof!
Tsunade: ...
[Video Footage] Powered by Nine-Tails chakra, Naruto roared at Sasuke.
"Enough! Snap out of it!"
"How could you know?!" Sasuke shoved Naruto off and the two tumbled down a slope. Their pouches spilled tools everywhere.
They landed on a submerged wooden stake, but Sasuke's stake shattered.
He seized a splintered plank and hurled it, breaking Naruto's stake too.
Naruto landed firmly. Sasuke looked furious.
The Sharingan's two tomoe shifted now three appeared.
...
Fourth Raikage Darui: Dammit, act now! In a blink, he has three tomoe!
Onoki: He's right!
Mizukage Mei Terumi: I agree!
Tsunade: ...
System: Pure Land materialization complete!
System: Searching for intelligent beings in the Pure Land…
System: Forcing all sapient beings into the group…
System: Chat tiers assigned!
System: Please continue watching the video.
[Video Footage] Sasuke emerged from the water clutching a plank and hurled it again. As it neared Naruto, it burst into flames.
Naruto punched it aside but Sasuke, eyes widened, reacted on instinct.
"I can see your moves!" he gasped.
Naruto was stunned; Sasuke himself was elated.
"I can't believe I could spot your blitzing attack."
Naruto surged forward. Sasuke's cursed seal flared but he merely smiled.
"Is it because my body's adapted to the seal's power?" he wondered.
"When you move, subtle shifts in your chakra imprint the next action in my mind."
With each subsequent dodge, Sasuke countered swiftly.
"With these eyes, I won't waste chakra maintaining them, I'll reserve my strength for power!"
Naruto leapt in, but evading a three-tomoe Sharingan was trivial. Sasuke pummeled him, sending him back into the lake.
Sasuke stood on the surface, eyes closed in focus. Suddenly clones burst from the water the battle intensified once more.
Onlookers were dumbfounded: these were still genin?
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Technique!" Sasuke's fireball scorched a straight line across Naruto's clone ladder.
...
Fourth Raikage Darui: This is not normal how can you keep fighting after that many clones? It's like a hundred! Mizukage Mei Terumi: That kid Sasuke's proficient in many fire techniques.
Fugaku Uchiha: ...Sasuke? (smiles) Tsunade: What the?
Fugaku Uchiha: Me? Well, I'm basically a ghost now.
Tsunade: There's a dead person in this chat?
Fourth Raikage Darui: Impossible who's posing as Fugaku Uchiha? If someone undead, let my father speak! Third Raikage: ...Miss me, brat? Good to know I'm remembered. Fourth Raikage Darui: ...My old man! Just a title says he's my dad?
Third Raikage: Good son! If I catch you, I'll crush you! Ohnoki: Then you're a grandson!
Third Raikage: ????? Fourth Raikage Darui: ????? Madara Uchiha: By the way, who are these kids in the video?
!!!
Madara Uchiha?
Serious?
Madara Uchiha: No one answers my question?
Izuna Uchiha: Brother, speak up who dares interrupt? Madara Uchiha: !!!!!
Madara, fully formed in the Pure Land, trembled. He glimpsed this in his mind's eye after his forced manifestation. He was to Obito's charge until Obito died… For years in the Pure Land he could only think, never act or speak.
Now his brother Izuna spoke.
Madara Uchiha: Izuna! I...
Izuna Uchiha: It's okay, brother no need to say more. Hearing your voice again is enough for me.
