Nice thread.I agree. For now naruto has no decent counter to it. A lot of fanfics in here saying sasukes jutsu needs prep, or causing him strain when manga hasn't said anything like that.
to start. the exclamation point was from madara moron. not naruto
second how would naruto react to something if he was just knocked back? he was sent flying and was trying to stop himself he probably couldnt even see straight but he was susposed to react to that right?
So sasuke closed his eye to conserve chakra, why would he do that if he was totally fine and not strained (losing and gaining tomoes could have to do with this). If there was atleast one other example of ANYONE doing that at any point in the manga then you could have a point.
However all the evidence points to closing an eye being due to strain or a large chakra drain, you cant deny that fact >.<
He wouldt close his eye midbattle for no reason, the proof of his eye straining him is him closing it.
I already said to conserve chakra. He knows they have a long battle ahead of them. Why did he do it and not others?
Lol maybe because Madara was hiding inside the Kamui dimension. How many times in the middle of battle does someone escape to another dimension. No the evidence points to him conserving chakra and nothing more. Itachi did it because he was about to die not because he was going blind. He wanted to conserve chakra as well to keep his stamina up to live.
It's funny though. If the show wasn't named "Naruto", I would have honestly thought Sasuke was the main character. Part 1 was literally all about him...
I agree. Naruto didn't have a clue what was going on the entire time. Even this chapter he didn't notice when Sasuke even used his technique. The chances of him reacting to something like this are remote at best.

Ok so madara is in Kamui dimension. If you reread that part sasuke is yelling at naruto to be ready and stay alert while he himself has his eye closed, cutting off ALL vision of possible limbo clones, and half his vision feild. Madara could appear from ANYWHERE. If the eye wasnt draining then he would have no reason to close it, were just repeating the same points over and over now >.<
Im not trying to say sasuke is gonna go blind, just that his teleportation technique or maybe simply keeping his eye open drains enough of his chakra for him to have to take a small break at the very first opportunity he could.
As the title says Naruto cannot react to Sasuke's teleportation speed.
Why?
Naruto even with his sensing abilities didn't even know Sasuke teleported: Notice the exclamation mark

Here we have Madara who has the same "floating" ability as Naruto, and is dashing at high speeds towards Sasuke but still got a sword through the chest meaning even he couldn't react:

Madara couldn't even react to Sasuke's foot speed: There's a possibility Sasuke could have just used continuous teleportation but regardless of what he did Madara wasn't able to react.

Even in yesterdays chapter, Naruto was this time watching Sasuke as he was about to fall into lava. But notice the exclamation and question mark on the 3rd panel: Though you could say Naruto wasn't able to stop flipping, but he still could have used chakra arms to grab Sasuke so Sasuke wouldn't have needed to grab his foot, but that's only if he had sensed Sasuke coming from behind.

To conclude, you cannot react to something that is instant.
-Well who's to say Naruto was trying to sense Sasuke? He could have been focused on Madara and his shadow. He had no reason to sense Sasuke at that point in time

-In the second scan, I'm sure the sword was in the shadow Madara and Madara got it when the shadow returned by to him since Sasuke started analyzing that the attack can work on the Shadow and how the shadow must return to Madara after a certain amount of time and how he can't use it for some as well. Plus Madara only have 1 orb with him since Minato took the rest away so he can't use his barrier.
-In the third scan, Madara clearly wasn't surprised as he took the time to think instead of reacting. In fact, Madara had Obito's other eye so seeing how he wasn't surprised, why didn't he just snipe Sasuke with Kamui? You can also consider that Madara simply just didn't care. We seen Kakashi's and Obito's eye sharing eye sight when close, for all we know Madara saw Sakura about to destroy his eye here

and that's why he paid no mind to Sasuke and the moment he Kamui's himself, he threw his blade at Sakura

-Well if you look a few pages ahead of the last scan, you'll see that Naruto was spinning from the blast so while we did see Sasuke falling, he had no reason to be using his sensory ability for that

. He was surprised cause he was spinning backwards from the blast of Sasuke's attack on Kaguya and all he knows is he hit something. That's why it was "?!" first then he said "Sasukeh!!" after realizing it was Sasuke. He has no reason to be using sensory ability on Sasuke, he's not worried about Sasuke attacking him since Sasuke said himself he needs him to help him defeat their common enemy.
PS. Madara only had 1 eye so had halve his field of vision and wasn't at full power since you need both of your eyes to bring out it's full powers as Madara and Obito stated.

Making good use of a break just shows how smart he is. I'm not saying he can spam his Rinne non nonchalant but his chakra has been drained alot during this fight and he isn't tired yet. Sasuke can use his teleportation multiple times back to back and this should go without saying.
first why would naruto be focusing on sasuke instead of his opponent
second naruto can stay out of range so i disagree but it may give sasuke the advantage in a battle
