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

But what if Ye Yu wasn't limited by a human lifespan?

Urashiki Otsutsuki might have thought of it, but he just didn't want that situation to happen.

The battle ended.

All the Nine-Tails chakra on Sora's body had been absorbed.

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

Sakura appeared beside Sasuke.

Sasuke came to his senses and said to Sakura, "Sakura, please, don't let him die."

Sakura still wanted to ask Sasuke about what happened with his power just now, but seeing Sora's terrible state, she decided to heal him first.

Soon after, the others all arrived where Sasuke was.

They looked at Sasuke with immense shock and admiration.

They had all seen Sasuke's battle clearly just now.

That level of battle was simply not something they could participate in.

Moreover, Sasuke's strength was actually much stronger than Naruto's when he was in Tailed Beast mode.

Especially the Ninjutsu Sasuke used at the end, it was simply too terrifying.

It instantly destroyed a forest, turning it into a crater.

That power was already comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb.

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

He wanted to ask Sasuke what had happened just now.

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

"Sasuke, what happened just now?"

Sasuke looked at Shikamaru and the others, and did not mention Urashiki Otsutsuki, but instead said, "A new Ninjutsu. I didn't know if I could use it, but I didn't expect it to be somewhat useful."

Naruto didn't believe him.

He knew Sasuke was definitely hiding something from him.

So, when Naruto was about to ask again, Sasuke ignored him and said, "I need to report the situation here to Hokage-sama, Naruto. You guys take Sora to the hospital for treatment."

After speaking, he disappeared from his spot.

Shikamaru, who had been observing Sasuke, naturally knew Sasuke was hiding something from them.

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

Ninja all have secrets, and even Ninja from the same village must never reveal them.

Shikamaru was very clear about this, so he wouldn't inquire.

He also believed Sasuke would not betray Konoha.

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

Just thinking that Sasuke's strength now far surpassed his own gave him a sense of defeat.

He clearly felt confident he could beat Sasuke when he returned from three years of training.

But even if Sasuke didn't use that power just now, Sasuke's strength was still above his.

Just a Perfect Susanoo was difficult for him to deal with.

Full Tailed Beast transformation was possible, but at that time, only the Nine-Tails's consciousness would remain, which meant Sasuke could easily control the Nine-Tails with his Mangekyō Sharingan.

In front of his Mangekyō Sharingan, his strongest move became his weakest move.

Now Sasuke also possessed some mysterious Ninjutsu, and the power of that Ninjutsu was too terrifying.

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

Instantly solving the rampaging Sora also meant Sasuke could easily solve him.

The gap between him and Sasuke was already greater than it was three years ago.

It was completely understandable that he couldn't catch up to Ye Yu's back.

Because in Naruto's perception, Ye Yu was not a normal person.

But Sasuke had always been someone he regarded as someone to surpass.

But why was the gap between them growing wider and wider?

And Kakashi, standing on the edge of the battlefield, muttered to himself, "Rinnegan, is it Urashiki Otsutsuki's power? Has Sasuke mastered his power?"

Because Kakashi knew that Urashiki Otsutsuki was sealed inside Sasuke.

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

Coupled with the fact that Kakashi had also seen Urashiki Otsutsuki's strength, he naturally guessed that Sasuke must have used Urashiki Otsutsuki's power just now.

Yamato, standing beside Kakashi, said with an awkward expression, "Sasuke actually dealt with that guy so easily. It's truly a case of each generation being stronger than the last. Kakashi-senpai, Sasuke's strength should have caught up to Ye Yu's by now, right?"

Kakashi looked at Yamato, wondering what he was thinking.

Then he said, "Probably."

Of course, what Kakashi was thinking internally was that he would never be able to catch up. Sasuke could only barely use a portion of Urashiki Otsutsuki's power right now, and Urashiki Otsutsuki was suppressed by Ye Yu three years ago.

With such a terrifying gap in strength, Sasuke probably wouldn't be able to surpass Ye Yu in this lifetime.

Yamato nodded.

He felt that Sasuke's performance just now should already be comparable to Ye Yu's.

Because the pressure emanating from Sasuke's power just now made him experience the might of Ye Yu's Wood Style that night.

Sasuke returned to Konoha and immediately found Tsunade.

He reported the situation outside the village to her, as well as the fact that he could use Urashiki Otsutsuki's power. Of course, he intended to tell the latter part to Ye Yu.

It was just that Ye Yu wasn't in the Hokage Office.

But Sasuke was sure Ye Yu could hear him; Ye Yu was Tsunade's guard, right nearby.

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

She stood up and asked, "How is that power? Is it very strong?"

Sasuke said seriously, "Extremely strong, and I can only use a small part of it. There's even stronger power that I still can't use; my body can't support stronger power."

"But just the part of the power I can use feels like dozens of times my previous strength."

Tsunade was stunned.

"Dozens of times your previous strength?!"

"This has already far exceeded the Hokage's power."

"How can the power of the Ōtsutsuki Clan be so terrifying?"

What shocked Tsunade even more was that such a powerful Urashiki Otsutsuki was sealed by Ye Yu. How strong must Ye Yu be, and he was sealed by Ye Yu three years ago.

Would Ye Yu's strength be weaker now than three years ago?

Judging from Ye Yu's display of strength just now, absolutely not possible.

After her shock, Tsunade smiled. "Excellent, excellent. You and Ye Yu are now the two strongest people in Konoha."

"It reminds me of my grandfather and your Uchiha clan's ancestor back in the day."

"I think Konoha should be able to surpass my grandfather's era in your hands."

Sasuke naturally knew who Tsunade was referring to as the Uchiha clan's ancestor.

He said earnestly, "I won't be like him and betray the village."

Tsunade smiled and said, "I know that, of course. I'm just saying your strength is like theirs."

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

"In the future, whether it's you or Ye Yu who becomes the Sixth Hokage, Konoha will be very strong."

"And with Ye Yu's personality, I estimate he'll let you be the Sixth Hokage."

Because it was just her and Sasuke in the Hokage Office, along with Shizune who was handling official business nearby, Tsunade did not hide anything in her words.
