----------------------------
"Alright, let's begin!"
Naruto and Sasuke confront each other.
"Wait wait you two!"
Shisui hurriedly stops them.
"If you two fight here in the Uchiha training ground, it will create a huge ruckus, and it might even destroy the training ground. Let's go someplace suitable."
"Ok!"
"Fine!"
Shisui unfurls a scroll and throws it toward the ground.
Swoosh
A summoning seal forms underneath the group.
Whoosh
The group disappears from its current place and appears in a colosseum-like structure.
"Wow!" Naruto looks around in amazement.
"What is this place? It looks amazing." He looks at the towering stadium with multiple giant statues.
"I never knew there was such a place in Konoha." The giant structure amazes Sasuke.
Hmm
He notices a blue dome-like barrier around the Colosseum. Sasuke inspects the Fuinjutsu seals with his Sharingan.
"I am not sure if I can even break this barrier with my full power." Sasuke knocks on the wall of the barrier.
"This place is a secret training ground created by Izuna Nii-san. The barrier around this place is very sturdy. So, you two can go all out without holding back."
Shisui, Itachi, and Ayaka return to the audience seats to witness the battle.
"I am fired up, Dattebyo!" Naruto pumps his fist with chakra.
'Bring it on knuckle-head!' Sasuke taunts him by curling his fingers.
"Shadow clone jutsu!"
Naruto makes multiple shadow clones and dashes toward Sasuke. Sasuke also makes some hand signs and throws multiple shurikens toward the approaching shadow clones.
"Shuriken shadow clone jutsu"
He releases a barrage of shurikens toward the clones.
Clang clang Poof Poof
Some of the shadow clones deflect the shurikens while the remaining few dissipate on impact from the shurikens.
The shadow clones close the distance and engage in close combat with Sasuke.
Bang bang
Sasuke blocks a roundhouse kick and drops kick with his arms.
Swoosh
He spins and delivers a roundhouse kick to one of the clones while stabbing the other clone with a deflected kunai he threw earlier.
Poof poof
The shadow clones dissipate, and other clones replace them.
Bang bang
They overwhelm Sasuke with numbers.
"Uzumaki barrage"
One of the clones launches Sasuke into the air with a kick to the chin. The rest of the clone continues the combo by further kicking him up into the air.
"I always wanted to do this to him."
One of the clones forms a tiger seal and stabs it toward Sasuke's rear.
"One thousand years of death"
Ayaka closes her eyes in embarrassment. Itachi turns his head away in shame. Only Shisui stares at the battle with interest.
Haah
While mid-air, Sasuke twists his body and dropkicks the tiger hand seal clone.
Poof
The most dangerous shadow clone disperses, leaving behind an opening for the rest of the shadow clones. The rest of the shadow clones overwhelm Sasuke with numbers and release a barrage of fists and kicks at him.
Poof
Sasuke disperses in a cloud of white smoke.
Huh
"Shadow clone!" All of Naruto's shadow clones look around to search for Sasuke's real body.
"You aren't the only one who can use shadow clones." Sasuke's voice echoes in their ears as he appears beside the real Naruto.
He taps the shoulder of the real Naruto and smirks.
"You! Beat him up." The shadow clones are pissed at Sasuke and dash toward him.
Sasuke raises his finger and pulls slightly.
Fwoosh
All of Naruto's shadow clones are stuck in their position, unable to move any further. Their fists are only at a slight distance from Sasuke's face.
"That's quite smart of him!" Shisui praises Sasuke.
Multiple thin metal wires coated with chakra threads appear all around the arena. All of Naruto's shadow clones are entangled in the metal chakra threads held taut in Sasuke's finger.
'He calculated the trajectory of all those earlier shuriken throws, and their deflection projection." Itachi nods his head in approval.
Bzzt Chirp chii
Sasuke slightly twerks his finger, channeling a small burst of lightning chakra through the metal wires.
Poof poof
One by one the entirety of Naruto's shadow clones disperses into white smoke.
"Did you think I was the real one?" Naruto smirks.
Poof
He disperses in a burst of white smoke.
Swoosh
A Fuinjutsu seal appears beneath Sasuke's feet.
"Fuinjutsu: Shadow restriction technique"
Sasuke is paralyzed at the place. Multiple fuinjutsu seals slowly crawl across his body.
"It's a bit annoying!" Sasuke clicks his tongue.
"It's over!"
Swoosh
Naruto appears on top of Sasuke's head with a giant Rasengan in his hand.
"Eat this!"
Bang
Dust and debris rise in the arena as the giant Rasengan creates a small crater in the ground.
Huh
Naruto looks around, unable to locate Sasuke at the previous place. The fuinjutsu seal on the ground is undone as a shadow of Sasuke slowly disperses into nothingness.
'Shadow Substitution Jutsu'
Sasuke jumps out of Naruto's shadow with a Chidori in his hand.
Clamp
Naruto grabs Sasuke's Chidori with his bare hand. His hand is coated with a dense layer of blue chakra.
"I learned this technique from Kurama. If I can use Kurama's chakra to create a chakra cloak, then I can also use my chakra to do the same." Naruto smirks.
'It looks easy to coat one's body with chakra, but there are several requirements to do so. First, the user must have a sizeable amount of chakra to freely release from his body. Second, the user must have almost perfect chakra control to release a large amount of chakra from one point of his body. Third, the user must have a high degree of shape manipulation to pull off something like this."
Shisui notices a faint layer of wind chakra around Naruto's arms, negating the effect of Sasuke's lightning chakra.
Swoosh
Sasuke releases his jutsu and jumps back. Naruto also shakes his hand as he still feels paralysis in it.
'Man, my hand was almost done for!'
Naruto and Sasuke confront each other again.
"Sasuke! It's time to get serious." Naruto clenches his fists as he instantly enters Sage Mode. Orange pigmentation appears around his eyes while his pupil turns toad-like.
"Sage Mode: Second Stage Transformation"
Numerous magatama markings appear all around Naruto's body. A red cloak with black flames covers Naruto's back. The sclera in Naruto's eyes turns into a plus sign.
There are three transformations in Senjutsu before one attains the Six Path Senjutsu.
Sage Eye: An ability granted by the second transformation of Senjutsu. It raises the perception of one's energy to a new height. One's senses are raised to such a degree that one can even sense beings like Limbo present in another dimension.
The Third transformation of Senjutsu grants the user a powerful defensive chakra cloak that bolsters the defense, strength, agility, and reflex of the user to a new height far beyond the level of a Kage. The power it grants falls shortly only to the Eight Gate.
Once a user perfects the third transformation; they can awaken Six Paths Senjutsu if their proficiency in elements is at the highest level. Previously, Izuna was stuck at this stage, as he was unable to perfectly combine all elements.
"I was about to say the same."
Shiing
Sasuke activates his Mangekyo Sharingan. A pattern of three intersecting red ellipses appears in Sasuke's eyes.
"Senjutsu: First Transformation,"
Purple pigmentation appears around Sasuke's eyes as his eyes gain slightly snake-like features.
'First Transformation is my limit for now. I was unable to go beyond that despite all my efforts. The Snake Sage said that I need a pure heart to advance further. Resentment of the past, a curse of hatred lingers in my blood, which prevents me from achieving a pure heart. Still, I never expected Naruto to learn Second Transformation this quickly.'
Naruto and Sasuke stare into each other's eyes. The ground cracks beneath their feet as they rile up their chakra.
Shoom
Both disappear from their place and arrive in the middle of the arena.
BANG BANG
Both engage in a Taijutsu battle.
"Looks like we are on time!"
Minato and Jiraiya arrive in the arena to watch Naruto and Sasuke's battle.
