Path Not Taken 81

Uzumaki Naruto

So, Sasuke... how's life as a Sound Village lackey treating you?

Uchiha Sasuke

I never expected you to leave Konoha too. You were always going on about becoming Hokage.

Uchiha Sasuke

One week after I left? That's not like you, Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto

Azula-sensei had a lot to offer. But don't worry about my plans.

Uzumaki Naruto

I'm more interested in seeing if your little defection was worth it. Has Orochimaru made you stronger?

Uchiha Sasuke

You still think you can win against me? Have you forgotten our last fight? You were unconscious while I walked away.

Uzumaki Naruto

I only lost because I held back. If I'd gone all out with the Nine-Tails...

Uzumaki Naruto

Well, let's just say there wouldn't have been enough left of you to join Orochimaru.

Uchiha Sasuke

Big words from the dead-last. Let's see if you can back them up!

Uzumaki Naruto

I've been waiting for this, Sasuke. No holding back this time!

Uchiha Sasuke

Your chakra... it's different. What did that Grass Village woman teach you?

Uchiha Sasuke

No matter. I'll still bring you down!
