I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!-Chapter 329 - 330

"Naruto!"

"Sasuke!!"

Beyond the Divine Tree, in another battlefield of critical importance, Naruto and Sasuke locked eyes and shouted each other's names before launching into action.

Without hesitation, Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo released its drawn bowstring. The Senjutsu-enhanced chakra arrow erupted with terrifying energy, howling toward Naruto.

Naruto was forced to stop.

Having already figured out how to use the powers granted to him, he attempted to block the incoming attack the same way as before—by sending a Truth-Seeking Orb to intercept it.

But this time, it failed.

Not only did the arrow remain intact, but the Truth-Seeking Orb was violently repelled, sent flying backward with a sharp whoosh.

"Huh?! What's going on?! It worked before, didn't it?"

Naruto was still unfamiliar with his newfound Six Paths Chakra and Yin-Yang Release. While he had already stepped into the realm of Six Paths-level power, he still had no proper understanding of what it meant—or how to fully utilize it.

Sasuke, knowing Naruto's habits better than anyone, seized the opportunity and charged forward, his Perfect Susanoo closing in like an unstoppable force.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto instinctively used his most familiar technique.

But—Kurama was no longer inside him.

His hand subconsciously reached for his stomach.

In his battle against Hagoromo Gensou, Naruto had fought in perfect synchronization with Kurama, fully mastering the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Now, without Kurama's presence, he felt unbalanced, struggling to adjust.

But Naruto was nothing if not adaptable.

Even without Kurama, his natural combat intuition shone through.

As the battle unfolded, he quickly gained deeper control over his new Six Paths power.

Sasuke, despite possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Sage Mode, was still at a disadvantage against Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode.

As the fight dragged on, Naruto's mastery grew sharper.

In a final decisive clash—under the overwhelming assault of multiple Wind Style: Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken, Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo was shattered.

Sasuke had lost.

Yet, unlike their younger years, he did not wear a look of bitterness or rage.

Instead, he stood in Naruto's path, calmly drawing his blade to stall for time.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry."

Naruto, fully aware of what was at stake, swiftly defeated Sasuke and prepared to dash toward the Divine Tree.

But as he passed, Sasuke's quiet voice called out from behind him:

"Naruto... do you want to know what I really think of you?"

Naruto hesitated, his steps pausing.

Before he could answer, Sasuke—lying on the ground, gazing at the sky—began to speak.

...

Beside the Divine Tree.

His body still cloaked in crimson steam, Guy panted heavily, each breath more ragged than the last.

Opposite him, Gensou stood unscathed.

Guy clenched his fists tightly.

"Evening Elephant alone isn't enough... Looks like I'll have to use Night Guy."

But—

His eyes narrowed as they locked onto the Truth-Seeking Orbs floating behind Gensou.

Unlike in the original timeline, there was no Minato to teleport them away with Flying Raijin.

If even one of those orbs struck him, no amount of Eight Gates power would save him.

"If I get interrupted like with the Fifth Step of Evening Elephant... or if I lose even a few seconds... my body won't hold out long enough to finish Gensou off."

But—

A detail surfaced in Guy's mind.

He recalled the moment when the Truth-Seeking Orbs chased him.

At a distance of around seventy meters, just as he was about to retreat further, the orbs suddenly stopped and returned to Gensou's side.

"Seventy meters... Is that their limit?"

A realization dawned upon him.

People often saw Guy as nothing but a hot-blooded, muscle-headed fighter—especially compared to the tactical genius of Kakashi.

But the truth was—he was a far sharper strategist than most gave him credit for.

He had already deduced that the Hagoromo Clan shinobi had targeted him because of the Eight Gates.

And now—

In this moment of ultimate resolve, he had also figured out the limitations of the Truth-Seeking Orbs.

Their range was finite.

Their speed was not absolute.

But—they were still dangerous.

If he wanted a flawless hit on Gensou, then the orbs had to be far away from him.

Guy's gaze shifted past Gensou—toward the massive Divine Tree.

It hadn't been there before.

Now, it was clearly something Gensou had created.

And he had stayed close to it this entire time.

"I don't know exactly what that tree is for... but it's definitely important to him."

"In that case..."

Without another second of hesitation, Guy stepped forward, lowering his stance.

His fingers dug into the earth.

"Accumulate—"

BOOM!!!

A tremendous shockwave burst outward.

The ground beneath him collapsed into a crater, exploding under the raw force of his energy.

The crimson steam engulfing his body surged skyward, burning hotter than ever before.

Hagoromo Gensou's Rinnegan instantly analyzed him.

In that moment—

Guy's heart chakra point—once blazing with fiery vitality—had nearly faded.

All that remained was a tiny flickering ember of blue.

"So, he's preparing for his final attack... Night Guy."

For the first time, Gensou's expression grew serious.

The seven Truth-Seeking Orbs immediately circled around him—forming layer upon layer of protective barriers.

ROAR!!!

The boiling red steam around Guy compressed, swirling into the shape of a majestic dragon.

The energy of the Eight Gates exploded forth, its intensity raging like a hurricane.

Even Gensou, at this moment, had to raise his arms to shield himself from the gusts.

But unlike Madara, he did not smirk with excitement.

He merely watched—calm, unshaken.

Until—

"Flow—"

BOOOOOOM!!!!

With one explosive step, Guy charged forward.

The red dragon surged alongside him, its mighty roar shaking the earth as it streaked toward its target.

But—its path was not aimed at Gensou.

It was heading straight for the Divine Tree!

"Hmm?"

Gensou, who had been preparing to meet Guy's ultimate taijutsu head-on, was taken aback.

"So you actually used your brain."

Understanding Guy's intention in an instant, Gensou did not hesitate.

With a burst of speed even his Truth-Seeking Orbs struggled to keep up with, he moved to intercept.

"NOW!!!"

Guy's right leg swung forward—

"NIGHT GUY!!!"

BOOM!!!

The ultimate attack was unleashed.

The final song of youth had begun.
