The end of the final battle between Sasuke and Naruto
is here! Chapter 698 of the Naruto manga has delivered the final
moments of the rematch of the century and it didn’t disappoint.
After chapter 697, it looked like Sasuke will finally end Naruto’s
life and become the Hokage he feels he is destined to be. But what
exactly happened in the conclusion to the Sasuke/Naruto tussle?
With only a couple of more chapters left, let’s recap and find out.
Chapter
698 begins with Sasuke ready to deliver the final blow to Naruto.
Naruto thinks about the conversation he and the Kyuubi had when he was
finally beginning to master using the nine-tails’ chakra and how the
Kyuubi asked him why he is able to find the strength to fight. Naruto
answers that he never questions himself, because once you do that’s when
‘it’s all over.’
Naruto
then counters and uppercuts Sasuke into the wall. Sasuke, frustrated,
asks how many time he must knock him down before he stays down. Naruto
retorts by telling the young Uchiha that he can’t fall because that is
who he is.
Sasuke
uses the Kyuubi chakra he absorbed in the previous chapter to use a
Kagutsuchi attack, combining the fires of Amaterasu with his lightning
techniques.
The
Kyuubi explains to Naruto he will give him the last of his chakra and
that once he does he will fall asleep. That means Naruto will be on his
own after that, so that he should be wary of getting his chakra absorbed
again.
