Sasuke was furious, 'Both were S-Rank Ninjas, so why was Naruto's S-Rank form, Kurama Link, so overpowered, while my own S-rank form, Eternal Mangekyo, was garbage?'
'This lousy Ninja might not even be as strong as a B-Rank Ninja!'
Looking at Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke, aside from the artwork, there wasn't a single thing that satisfied him.
Finally, there was the ultimate Jutsu.
'Unless the ultimate had world-destroying power, there was no saving this garbage skill set.'
But Sasuke had already given up hope on the ultimate.
"It's just an ultimate Jutsu. How much of a difference could it make?"
Sasuke muttered in frustration, seriously suspecting that he was being targeted.
When the game first launched, Team 7's Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura were all available, but Sasuke was delayed by an entire version.
And recently, why was Naruto the first to have a full set of Ninjas, while Sasuke had to settle for second place?
Sasuke was deeply dissatisfied, 'That damn Manager! He must have something against me to do this!'
He casually pressed the ultimate button, wanting to see what kind of trash ultimate Yuto had designed for him.
But after clicking the ultimate skill, nothing happened. There wasn't even a background image.
Except... Sasuke's character model changed to a sword-wielding stance.
Sasuke was surprised, 'Just... just this?'
'This is my ultimate Jutsu?'
"Huh?"
Sasuke had never felt such blatant malice before. He was so angry he almost laughed.
'Even if that Manager had something against me, was it necessary to create such a trash Ninja just to humiliate me?'
"history."
Sasuke gave his verdict. He had already lost interest in the other Sasuke-series Ninjas.
He wanted to confront Yuto and ask why he had done this.
But then Sasuke noticed... 'Why had Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke's skills refreshed after the sword stance change?'
'I hadn't pressed reset?'
Sasuke was puzzled, and he found the skill icons seemed to change as well.
When he had activated the ultimate Jutsu earlier, he had been too busy cursing Yuto to notice these changes.
Sasuke tried clicking the skills again.
First skill...
Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke slashed forward twice, releasing a purple sword wave that sent the Kurama Naruto character model flying from a long distance.
"Hmm... this actually has some potential."
Sasuke then tried the second skill.
The second skill unleashed Kagutsuchi forward, hitting the Kurama Naruto character model and preventing it from falling into a protected state.
"These two skills seem pretty good. How did this happen?"
Sasuke was confused. It seemed that after activating the ultimate Jutsu, his skills had switched.
He checked the cooldowns of the two skills he had just used, and both had a 16-second cooldown, the same as the previous aggressive skills.
"Even though the cooldowns are still 16 seconds... I have four skills now?!"
Sasuke suddenly realized this, 'Maybe... this Ninja wasn't complete trash after all.'
Sasuke was overjoyed and quickly retracted his earlier disrespect toward Yuto.
He clicked the ultimate skill again, and Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke switched back to his sword-wielding stance, specifically switching from the Flame Blade to the Lightning Blade.
The cooldowns for both skills had refreshed, and now, when Sasuke pressed the Lightning Blade's skill, he no longer felt that sense of rejection.
"Tsk tsk, this skill, this impact, this effect... it's invincible!"
After using the second skill, Sasuke casually clicked the ultimate, and then he saw...
Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke unleashed a series of slashes, grabbing Kurama Naruto and, just as the grab was about to end, swung his sword, switching from the Lightning Blade to the Flame Blade.
'This, this, this... this is so cool!'
Sasuke was utterly impressed, though he still muttered, "Hmph, the design isn't bad. At least it's not as trash as I thought."
At this point, he noticed something unusual about the Flame Blade's skills. Both skill buttons were surrounded by a yellow loading circle.
Although Sasuke, who was already proficient in the game, didn't know what this meant, he could tell it wasn't simple.
Coincidentally, the first skill's cooldown had just ended.
Sasuke held down the first skill, and Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke charged up with the Flame Blade, pulling Kurama Naruto toward him. When Sasuke released the skill button, a powerful slash was unleashed.
"Huh?"
Sasuke was dumbfounded, 'There's this kind of mechanic?'
He was eager to try it again.
"If I remember correctly, I first used the Lightning Blade's second skill, then clicked the ultimate. The ultimate triggered a slash, and when it ended, switching back to the Flame Blade allowed me to hold down the first skill to unleash that effect again..."
Sasuke muttered to himself, recalling the sequence. First, he needed to switch back to the Lightning Blade, which was simple… just press the ultimate skill...
Right after using the Flame Blade's first skill, Sasuke immediately activated the ultimate...
And then he saw...
A half-body Susanoo swung its sword, sending Kurama Naruto flying and setting him on fire.
After that, a stunning screenshot appeared on Sasuke's screen, almost throwing him off guard.
"Huh? Who's this handsome guy? Oh, it's me. Never mind then."
After watching this sequence, Sasuke was almost dumbfounded, 'How... how many more mechanics did this Ninja have that I hadn't discovered yet?'
Since there had been a few seconds between using the Lightning Blade's first and second skills earlier, the second skill had been ready just as the Flame Blade's first skill cooldown ended.
But now, the Lightning Blade's first skill cooldown had also ended.
The familiar yellow circle appeared around the skill button again.
Sasuke pressed the Lightning Blade's first skill, and Eternal Sasuke slashed through, firmly controlling Kurama Naruto.
'Cool! So cool!'
Sasuke suddenly realized that Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke's skills perfectly matched his aesthetic.
They had both strength and flair, and they even showed off his cool moments to the opponent!
At this point, seeing that the second skill had a few seconds left on cooldown, Sasuke had a sudden idea.
"What if I press the ultimate now?"
Sasuke tried clicking the ultimate, and then... Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke leaped onto Kurama Naruto, piercing him with Chidori.
The moment before Chidori was unleashed, the Arena was muted, allowing Sasuke to hear the perfect chirping of the Chidori.
The subsequent combos, skill enhancements, and ultimate transitions... completely won Sasuke over!
'What's Kurama Naruto? In front of the epic-tier Ninja, me, he's just a golden bug!'
As for his earlier theory about Yuto sabotaging him, Sasuke couldn't even remember it.
What are you talking about? I, Uchiha Sasuke, have always respected Manager the most…
