[Predictions] Sasuke has had the advantage for most of this fight

[narutoblitz]

I think the manga has made this pretty clear. Sasuke has had Nardo on the defensive. Even here in the latest chapter, we see Sasuke get up first. Sasuke forms an Amaterasu and then forms a Rinnegan tech to absorb the 9-tails chakra. Naruto by comparison stumbles, cannot form a Rasengan and is barely able to stand. His sage mode is broken, yet Sasuke's Rinnegan remains.

Put bluntly, not even NB can deny the obvious. Sasuke has the clear advantage right now. My theory? The bijuu broke out of Sasuke's genjutsu. But what this also means, is that Sasuke has nearly defeated Naruto, while also focusing a lot of his chakra on keeping Sakura and the TB in genjutsu

We can surmise Sasuke may actually be stronger than Naruto, even at this point in the series.

Why can't people get they're equal, sasuke had the advantage since the begining because Naruto doesn't want to kill sasuke he's been staying on the defensive for that very reason if Naruto wanted to kill sasuke he would be going in with attacks too.

Except that Naruto has been deliberately restraining himself to keep from killing Sasuke, and even after Sasuke got the Tailed Beasts Naruto fought him to a stand still.

lol it wouldn't have been a good fight if Naruto wasn't getting his butt kicked for awhile

Of course he has, having had the 9 Bijuu chakra inside his PS and his own techniques yet in the end he couldn't use it to edge out the Victory he wants.

the Bijuu didn't break out, since the moment Sasuke's Sharinnegan was overused they were released as shown by Sakura suddenly waking up seconds after Sasuke becomes exhausted due to over use by Sasuke.

You surmise he's stronger? you should probably reread the chapter again. Had Kishi not nerfed Naruto's Rasegan attack Sasuke would of been beaten but we can't have that obviously so he tripped

Naruto can barely stand, and he doesn't have the chakra to form a Rasengan. He's done. He'll be saved by the TB, and Sasuke will be forced to escape. For fans of the manga, good news. A spoiler in Japan hinted at a possible part 3 or spinoff today. IT was vague.

And only had one tailed beasts chakra

Sasuke was the same had he not absorbed Kurama's chakra but that's a possbility that or like others have predicted he may catch the Chidori with his bare hands and the fight continues from there

Looks like you just want to hate on Naruto.

If you sat back and used your head you would know that can't happen, as the IT needs to be broken, if Sasuke just runs away he has nowhere to run.

Also, Sasuke is out of chakra too, what he has is what he grabbed from Naruto.

 

[narutoblitz]

Nah if Sasuke hadn't taken the TB chakra he'd have lost too. I think Sasuke's issue is that the TB are prolly about to escape and Kakashi and Sakura will eventually make it there. My prediction is the fight ends in a draw. Sasuke survives and retreats, the TB are dealt with somehow. The go-kage survive, but I don't think Naruto wins, brings Sasuke back or becomes Hokage (yet). I predict in the epilogue, Kakashi is the new Hokage and tsunade steps down

IMO it's 2 clones. Sasuke felt the TB coming and he's going to retreat. In the movie they may spar/fight again. I also think part 3 is a real possibility now based on today's press release.

Its the end of the manga, that would leave it an incomplete story.

Naruto and Sasuke will reconcile after this fight just as the Sage foreshadowed.

I wonder who it was that fought an entire army, alone, for days, while the other was chilling in a cave, waiting for itachi to finish the job, and hold back in his fights because he knew he couldn't beat a tired Naruto without his full power.

 

[Angelic.]

oh its you. what press release?

 

[Flaming Amaterasu]

Naruto had to use a lot of power to fend off Sasuke's power, so despite being defensive, he was still fighting with just as much power as Sasuke. You naruto fanboys need to quit these baseless assumptions.

Yes, the chakra that was just gonna be handed to naruto by kurama to help him finish sasuke, too bad for naruto and his fans that sasuke intercepted, I know.

Both of their chakras were completely restored when the sage gave them both half of his power evenly, and when they got healed by obito and kabuto, so an invalid point. And sasuke just beat the shit out of a tired naruto while being tired and exhausted himself, so you just made a fool out of yourself with that statement.

Try and understand something: Throughout this entire arc in where they received the sage's power, they were equals. During this fight, they were equals, evidenced by what just happened to them both, bloodied and bruised.
