Chapter 52:
"Damn it!"
Inside the soul space, Shadow Clone Sasuke, who had been knocked down once again, roared with grief and fury.
He was trapped here and couldn't even dispel the shadow clone to return to his main body.
"I already told you — behind you is a door. If you can open it, you'll see what's on the other side. But right now you don't even have the strength to do that, and you're already thinking about running away?"
Naruto punched Shadow Clone Sasuke in the face. He had sealed this space so that no matter how the clone tried to dispel itself, it would only reform again.
This Sasuke with three-tomoe Sharingan activated was exactly like the one from the so-called "plot" — nothing but hatred and brainless madness.
With only three tomoe and chakra that didn't even reach jonin level, he actually dreamed of killing the Third Hokage and Danzo?
If it were that easy, would they have waited until now?
But this Shadow Clone Sasuke refused to listen to any persuasion. Even though he continued learning the techniques Naruto taught him, he was already plotting how to strike hard at Naruto.
"What do you know? You can endure it, but why should I? You don't understand anything! You don't know what it feels like to watch your closest family die right in front of you! You know nothing…"
Shadow Clone Sasuke glared at Naruto, his eyes wild and ferocious.
Right now he had only one belief — get out and settle the score with his enemies!
"I already told you, I won't stop you from taking revenge, but you must have enough strength first. You can go hit that door now. When you manage to open it, I'll let you out, and you'll see what's behind it…"
Naruto released Shadow Clone Sasuke as he spoke, took a step back, and disappeared from the sealed space.
He roughly understood now why, in the so-called "plot," Sasuke had been so annoying and punchable.
Even though his mind was still clear, he still couldn't help wanting to beat him up before talking to him.
Indra's will?
How disgusting!
First he would deal with the Nine-Tails. After swallowing it, he would check Sasuke's soul. That Indra's will must be erased!
Sasuke was only the Sasuke he knew now. He absolutely could not be replaced by some Indra's will!
"Main body, I can't hold on much longer. Split two more clones, or I might explode from overeating and backfire."
Shadow Clone Naruto sat on the ground. The moment the main body arrived, he stood up with a miserable face and said he really couldn't continue.
"I know. That's why I came to adjust. You can come back now."
Naruto patted his shadow clone on the shoulder. The clone disappeared in front of him, leaving behind a massive amount of chakra that spread through his body.
"This feeling… is really comfortable!"
Because every bit of Nine-Tails chakra had been assimilated before absorption, merging so much chakra caused him no discomfort at all.
After doing some simple exercises in the space, Naruto checked the time outside and knew it was time to wake up again.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto raised his fingers, formed the seals, and created ten shadow clones.
Once again, he had to thank that outsider who had delivered such a useful gift. Not only could he use Multiple Shadow Clone Technique now, but any complete jutsu that had appeared with full hand seals in the "plot" could be used by him as long as he had the right chakra nature.
Unfortunately…
The so-called "plot" only showed a few people using complete hand seals in the early stages. In the later stages, none of the high-level ninjutsu ever showed their full hand seal sequences…
So he could only keep thinking about the Forbidden Scroll. Otherwise, he would have to rely on Kakashi, the Copy Ninja.
