Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 272: Let Sasuke become the Sixth Hokage?

He just thought that Yoru would be like the Sage of Six Paths, with a lifespan similar to that of humans.

But what if Yoru wasn't limited by human lifespan?

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki may have considered this possibility, but he simply didn't want it to happen.

The battle is over.

All of the Nine-Tails' chakra in the empty body was absorbed.

However, his skin was severely burned by the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Sakura appeared beside Sasuke.

Sasuke snapped out of his daze and said to Sakura, "Sakura, please, don't let him die."

Sakura wanted to ask Sasuke what was going on with that power he had just used, but seeing Sora's miserable state, she decided to heal him first.

Before long, everyone else arrived at Sasuke's place.

The look in their eyes when they saw Sasuke was one of utter shock and admiration.

They all saw Sasuke's battle clearly just now.

That level of combat is simply beyond their capabilities.

Moreover, Sasuke's strength is actually much greater than Naruto's when he transforms into a tailed beast.

The ninjutsu Sasuke used at the end was absolutely terrifying.

It instantly turned a forest into a crater.

That power was comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball.

Naruto walked over, glanced at Sora, and then looked at Sasuke.

He wanted to ask Sasuke what had just happened.

He knew Sasuke's strength well; that power just now was definitely not the power of the Sharingan.

"Sasuke, what just happened?"

Sasuke glanced at Shikamaru and the others, but didn't mention Urashiki Otsutsuki. Instead, he said, "A new ninjutsu. I didn't know if it would work, but it turns out it's somewhat useful."

Naruto didn't believe it.

He knew Sasuke was definitely hiding something from him.

When Naruto tried to ask again, Sasuke ignored him and said, "I need to report the situation here to the Hokage. Naruto, you should take Sora to the hospital for treatment."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Shikamaru, who had been keeping a close eye on Sasuke, naturally knew that Sasuke was hiding something from them.

But Shikamaru didn't ask Sasuke anything; he knew it must be Sasuke's secret.

Ninjas all have secrets, which they absolutely cannot reveal even to ninjas from the same village.

Shikamaru knew this perfectly well, so he didn't bother to inquire.

He also believed that Sasuke would not betray Konoha.

Naruto, on the other hand, was puzzled as to what kind of power Sasuke had used.

The thought that Sasuke's strength had far surpassed his own made him feel somewhat defeated.

When he returned after three years of training, he felt confident that he could defeat Sasuke.

Even if Sasuke didn't use that power, Sasuke's strength was still above his.

Even a fully formed Susanoo was difficult for him to deal with.

Complete tailed beast transformation is possible, but at that time only the Nine-Tails' consciousness would remain, which would mean that Sasuke could easily use the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails.

Faced with his Mangekyou Sharingan, his strongest move became his weakest move.

Now Sasuke has mastered some kind of mysterious ninjutsu, and the power of that ninjutsu is terrifying.

Even Naruto, who was just standing on the sidelines watching, could feel it.

The fact that the rampaging Ku was dealt with in an instant means that Sasuke could easily defeat him.

The gap between him and Sasuke is now much larger than it was three years ago.

It's completely understandable that he couldn't sit in Ye Yu's shadow.

Because in Naruto's mind, Yoruha wasn't a normal person.

But Sasuke was always someone he wanted to surpass.

But why is the gap between them widening?

Kakashi, standing on the edge of the battlefield, muttered to himself, "The Rinnegan... Could it be the power of Urashiki Otsutsuki? Has Sasuke mastered his power?"

Kakashi knew that Urashiki Otsutsuki was sealed inside Sasuke.

Moreover, Sasuke just used the Rinnegan, and that power far exceeded Sasuke's usual strength.

Since Kakashi had also witnessed Urashiki's strength, he naturally guessed that Sasuke must have used Urashiki's power just now.

Standing next to Kakashi, Yamato said awkwardly, "Sasuke defeated that guy so easily. Each generation is stronger than the last. Kakashi-senpai, Sasuke's strength should be comparable to Yoru's now, right?"

Kakashi glanced at Yamato, seemingly lost in thought.

He then said, "Probably."

Of course, what Kakashi was thinking was that he would never catch up. Sasuke could only barely use a portion of Urashiki's power now, and Urashiki had been suppressed by Yoru three years ago.

With such a terrifying gap in strength, Sasuke will probably never be able to surpass Yoru in his lifetime.

Yamato nodded.

He felt that Sasuke's performance just now was comparable to Yoru's.

The oppressive aura emanating from Sasuke's power just now reminded him of the power Yoru used Wood Release that night.

Sasuke returned to Konoha and immediately found Tsunade.

He reported to her the situation outside the village and that he could use the power of Otsutsuki Urashiki. Of course, he wanted to tell Yoru what came next.

However, Yoru was not in the Hokage's office.

But Sasuke was certain that Yoru could hear him; Yoru was Tsunade's bodyguard and was nearby.

Tsunade was shocked to hear that Sasuke could use Urashiki Otsutsuki's power.

He stood up and asked, "How was that power? Was it very strong?"

Sasuke said seriously, "It's very strong, and I can only use a small part of it. There are even stronger powers that I can't use yet, because my body can't support even stronger powers."

"But the power I can use is dozens of times stronger than before."

Tsunade was stunned.

"Your strength is dozens of times greater than before?!"

"This far surpasses the power of the Hokage."

"How could the power of the Ōtsutsuki clan be so terrifying?"

What shocked Tsunade even more was that even the powerful Urashiki Otsutsuki was sealed by Yoru. Just how powerful must Yoru be, especially considering that he was sealed by Yoru three years ago?

Is Yoru's strength now weaker than it was three years ago?

Judging from the strength Ye Yu displayed just now, it's absolutely impossible.

After her initial shock, Tsunade smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You and Yoru are now the two strongest people in Konoha."

"It reminds me of my grandfather and your Uchiha clan ancestors."

"I think that Konoha Village should be able to surpass what my grandfather did in your time."

Sasuke naturally knew who the Uchiha clan elder Tsunade was referring to was.

He said earnestly, "I will not betray the village like him."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Of course I know. I was just saying that the two of you are as strong as them."

"I have always trusted you, just as I trust Ye Yu."

"In the future, whether you or Yoru becomes the Sixth Hokage, Konoha Village will be very powerful."

"And given Yoru's personality, I reckon he'll make you the Sixth Hokage."

After the Hokage's room incident, Tsunade spoke openly with Sasuke and Shizune, who was handling official business nearby.
