[Discussion] Intent to Kill (Sasuke vs Naruto)

[valandil988]

Again we see that Naruto lacks the intent to kill his friend. As was the same in the original VoTe battle Naruto again seems to lack the intent to kill Sasuke.

Sasuke on the other hand seems to be ramping things up to force Naruto to get serious. Sasuke however while on the face of it is resolved to kill Naruto is likely to follow the same exact formula of the original VoTe battle where when it comes to the time to actually kill Naruto he will simply be unable to.

Or perhaps I'm underestimating Sasuke's resolve in this situation regardless if I am wrong and he is truly resolved this discussion is all the more relevant.

Naruto seems to be at a handicap because of his own feelings toward Sasuke he seems to be unwilling to go to the same extremes that he did to defeat other villains in the past. We have seen Naruto dish out 6 BBFR at one time something he is apparently unable to do at this point in time. Using the other biju chakra types is another example of him holding back so to speak.

Can we say that Sasuke is similarly beset by his own feelings that he is handicapped by them? I don't know, opinions? I can say however that Naruto is obviously trying to avoid kill-shots.

Does this mean that Naruto is destined to lose due to his own lack of killing intent or will his "TNJ fighting style" win the day?

What shonen MC has killing intent? Unless his friends die

Regarding the fact that we have only 4 chapters left and their present state of mind, I suspect it will be modified version of TNJ or something else as we will have the film as well. Moreover, it seems that Naruto isn't Hokage yet in the moments of movie teaser we have seen. After all, the resolve of everythings seems impossible in just few chapters.

Naruto is almost out of chakra, he's been using too much chakra during Madara's and kaguya's fight unlike sasuke who just uses susano, amaterasu, chidori and teleportation. Naruto is even resulting to absorbing more natural energy showing that his bijuu chakra is almost used up. Sasuke on the other hand is making use of the chakra he absorbed from the bijuu. Clearly naruto can only rely on natural energy now.
