The Sharingan Gamer

"That guy, Sasuke. To think he'd be so ruthless to his own comrades," Shikamaru said, his gaze dark as he looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke, who was not far away, keenly sensed his gaze, and his body trembled slightly.

"I... I've already decided to embrace the darkness..."

"Useless bonds... I'll... sever them all!"

As Sasuke's state of mind changed, the cursed seal on his body also changed.

When Sasuke looked up again, his hair had turned gray, and strange marks had appeared on his face.

Naruto looked at him, and along with his anger, he felt a deep sense of sorrow.

At this moment, a thought suddenly rose in his mind.

"I might not... be able to bring Sasuke back..."

However, the moment this thought appeared, it was instantly extinguished.

"Even if I have to break his bones, I'll bring him back."

"This is a promise I made to Sakura..."

"And it's my duty as a friend!"

Instantly, an equally violent chakra fluctuation erupted from Naruto's body.

"Tailed Beast Transformation: One-Tailed Form."

"Heh, is it this strange power again?" Sasuke said with a contemptuous smile, then vanished from the spot.

Thump!

A simple straight punch landed squarely on Naruto's face.

After sending him flying, Sasuke appeared beside him again, grabbed his feet, and, using his own legs to clamp Naruto's head, he charged madly toward the ground below.

A roar echoed as Naruto's entire body was driven into the hard ground, his two feet flailing helplessly in the air.

"Naruto!" Shikamaru and Choji cried out, then quickly followed.

After leaping into the air, Choji's hands quickly clasped together.

"Secret Technique: Human Bullet Tank."

A meatball several meters high, spinning at high speed, thus crashed down on Sasuke.

At the same time, an imperceptible shadow quietly followed behind him.

"" Sasuke looked at the two of them, silent for a moment.

However, at this time, Choji alone was not enough to defeat him.

The familiar sound of a thousand birds chirping appeared again, and Sasuke charged straight at Choji's Human Bullet Tank.

Splurt!

As blood splattered, Choji's rolling finally stopped.

When Shikamaru rushed forward to check, he found that Choji's abdomen had been completely pierced by Sasuke. Although his own arm was slightly twisted due to the counterforce, Choji's injuries were much more severe.

Ignoring Shikamaru's cries, Sasuke turned and glanced at Kyosuke, asking faintly, "What, you're not going to make a move?"

"You're not my opponent," Kyosuke said with a smile, pointing behind him.

There, a torrential red chakra was rampaging.

Sasuke quickly turned to look and saw that Naruto had stood up again, glaring at him with anger.

"Sasuke, you really are..."

"You've gone too far!!!"

Instantly, Naruto appeared in front of him with a speed that surpassed Sasuke's.

It was another simple straight punch, right in Sasuke's face.

But his attack did not end there.

Suddenly, a red arm made of chakra extended and grabbed the backward-flying Sasuke.

At the same time, a crimson Rasengan suddenly appeared in Naruto's hand.

"Vermilion Rasengan."

In his haste, Sasuke could only gather a Chidori in his hand, preparing to take Naruto's Rasengan head-on.

Two A-rank ninjutsu thus collided in mid-air.

A fierce airflow churned around the two of them.

In a clash of this level, Shikamaru was not even qualified to intervene and could only wait anxiously for the result.

But just because he couldn't intervene didn't mean Kyosuke couldn't.

Swish!

With a speed no less than theirs, Kyosuke appeared behind Sasuke.

The Kusanagi sword in his hand, gleaming with a dark, bright light, thrust toward Sasuke's abdomen.

He had no choice. The mission was to bring Sasuke back, and that meant bringing him back alive. If he brought back a corpse, Kyosuke couldn't guarantee the mission would be considered a success.

In this moment of crisis, the cursed seal on Sasuke's body changed again.

Two hand-shaped wings, tearing through his clothes, successfully blocked Kyosuke's sword.

Of course, with the sharpness of the Kusanagi sword, it was impossible to block it completely. To be precise, the wings had deflected the sword. Although the Kusanagi sword still pierced his wings, it did not harm his body.

Naruto, who was desperately outputting, paused for a moment when he saw Sasuke injured.

This gave Sasuke a chance to escape.

However, it was clear that he had underestimated Kyosuke's cunning.

Just as he burst out with all his strength, sending Naruto flying, and was about to turn and deal with Kyosuke, a surprising amount of heat came from behind him.

A ferocious fire dragon was roaring toward him.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."

The one who had released this ninjutsu was another Kyosuke, who had appeared from a distance.

Naturally, the one who had swung the sword was just a shadow clone.

In this situation, Sasuke could only choose to wrap himself in his wings, hoping to withstand the attack.

But Kyosuke's shadow clone actually let go of its weapon, stepped forward, and, grabbing him, forcefully pulled the two wings apart.

Sasuke: "...Bastard!"

Boom!

This time, Sasuke was hit by the Great Dragon Fire Technique completely undefended.

Although it wasn't fatal, he was seriously injured.

In addition to the punch from Lee and the injured arm from defeating Choji, Sasuke's combat power was now at less than thirty percent.

Defeat was a natural outcome.

Naruto struggled to retract his chakra. Seeing Kyosuke breaking Sasuke's limbs one by one, his mouth twitched, but he said nothing. After all, Choji's injuries were much more severe than Sasuke's, so he lacked sufficient sympathy.

The rest was simple. On the pretext of preventing another accident, Kyosuke secretly took a detour and brought Sasuke back to the village.

Naruto, on the other hand, was worried about Gaara's situation and went to check on him alone.

Kyosuke, at this time, had no mind to care about the battle between Gaara and Kimimaro.

As long as he safely delivered Sasuke back to the village, the mission would be complete.

Creating unnecessary complications was not a good thing.

When Kyosuke threw Sasuke into the arms of the anxiously waiting Sakura, the system's notification suddenly sounded.

Just as he was about to leave, a bold idea suddenly occurred to Kyosuke.

"If I kill Sasuke now, what will happen? Will the mission still be considered a success?"

However, he just thought about it. It was better to avoid such risky and malicious fun if he could.

If it really failed, where would he go to cry?
