章節 45: Sasuke

He continued on to look for Sasuke. He was running in the forest with his sever release armor still on as he was continuing to rush through the forest. He was constantly using his spirit sight as well. He was doing this when he saw something that caught his attention. He saw Rock Lee fighting a guy that had white hair and had bones coming out of his body. He rushed over to Rock Lee in the fight and was going to help him.

Riku: Lee, why are you here? You were recently injured?

Rock Lee: The fifth healed me I am fine and can fight.

Riku: I admire your drive but you need to rest.

Rock Lee continued to fight the man with bones receiving injuries. Riku rushed in as he brought out the Kiba and slashed at the man with bones blocking the bones while chipping at them as he protected Rock Lee. He soon saw that an attack that used sand came and hit the man with bones in front of him Riku saw that the attack that hit the man with bones was sand. He looked at the direction of the attack and saw Gaara.

Riku: Last time I saw you, you and your village attacked us. Why have you come now?

Gaara: We have come to assist you. After the invasion we allied with your village and they asked us to help in this retrieval mission.

Riku: Why are you helping?

Gaara: After my fight with you and Naruto he opened my eyes. After the defeat and you leaving to help the village he talked to me and changed my outlook. He became my first friend that day.

Riku: If Naruto believed in you enough to change you then I will put faith in you. Help Lee here I need to get to Sasuke.

Gaara: Alright.

Riku ran off again as he ran in the direction he felt an enormous amount of chakra coming from. Riku quickly used his spirit sight on the area to see if this was Sasuke and he found out that it was. He saw that Sasuke had a weird appearance as he had wings on his back, his skin became darker, and he had a black mark on his face. He saw that Naruto was fighting him as he had a red cloak that was shaped like a fox. His instincts felt the immense amount of danger coming from the both of them but he knew that he had to go to help Naruto in getting Sasuke to come back to the village. He rushed there in his Sever release Armor.

He was running to the place that Naruto and Sasuke were fighting which he recognized as the Valley of the End. When he got there he felt the chakra spiking to an incredible level and saw that Naruto and Sasuke was channeling a strong jutsu. He saw that Sasuke was charging a chidori that was enhanced as it turned to a black color and Naruto was charging up a new jutsu that he mastered the Rasengan that was now enhanced by the red chakra cloak that he had. The two then rushed each other and were going to collide. Seeing this RIku needed to go full power to deal with this. He summoned Asami and he also brought out a unicorn chakra sheath.

Riku: Asami. Full Resonance.

He stacked his full resonance on his already active sever release armor. Asami appeared and went Behind Riku and hugged him as she slowly vanished into his body. His face started to be covered in a white light and his silver hair had a light green outline to it. Hist eyes started to have a gradient of azure blue and sea green. This combined with his sever release armor as a great amount of power flowed through him. He created Asami in her sword form and put the sword in the sheath. He quickly approached the area that he thought Sasuke and Naruto would clashed. He used the chakra control of the technique as well as the tips that Mfune gave him for controlling his chakra. He also used Mifune's advice in iai for this technique. To use his improved version of the Unicorn slash.

Riku: Secret Technique: Severing Spirit Horn Slash

He stopped the clash between the two with the slash of his technique cutting through both jutsu as a huge explosion consumed all three of them. As the dust cleared from the explosion Naruto was seen on the ground and back to normal as he was hit by the impact of the explosion the most but Riku was right in front of Sasuke who was approaching Naruto's body. But as Riku had been running around for a long time with the sever release armor, using spirit sight a lot, and then using one of his strongest moves that was improved and consumed even more chakra he returned to his normal appearance and so did Sasuke.

Riku: What is the point of leaving the village/

Sasuke: So that I can get stronger for my revenge.

Riku: You give into revenge and you will never become as strong as you wish to be.

Sasuke: How would you know your family is still alive. I know that your clan is dead but at least you still have your parents.

Riku: That doesn't mean that I am wrong here. I can tell that you left because of Naruto's progress and as long as you hold on to that resentment. The only way to become stronger is through your convictions.

Sasuke: What would I listen to you? What do you know?

Riku: Then tell me one of the strongest shinobi to live the first Hokage. Why was he so strong? It was because he followed his convictions and constantly sharpened himself to follow that.

Sasuke: You may be right but that is not the only way to gain power.

Sasuke started to walk away and to stop him Riku grabbed him only to be caught off guard by a punch from Sasuke. The punch hit Riku's arm . As he was out of chakra Riku couldn't do anything after that as Sasuke disappeared.
