After experiencing the Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke, Sasuke almost exclaimed, 'Oh my God! This is literally me!'
Although he had to admit, it really was him. With that backstory... there was no way to criticize it.
Sasuke glanced at the other Ninjas... in this storyline update, he had also unlocked Uchiha Sasuke [Shippuden], Uchiha Sasuke [Shippuden Cursed Seal], Uchiha Sasuke [Mangekyo Sharingan], and Uchiha Sasuke [Susanoo].
Seeing that he had three A-rank forms while Naruto only had two, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
'Hold it in, don't laugh!'
And his Shippuden Cursed Seal form, which corresponded to Naruto's B-Rank Four-Tails form, was an A-Rank Ninja...
'Hold it in, don't laugh!'
Since he had already tried the strongest form, he decided to test the weakest one next.
'Let's go from weakest to strongest...'
Sasuke thought to himself, then tapped on Shippuden Sasuke.
He knew that Naruto's Shippuden form was decently strong (thanks to some adjustments Yuto had made), but how would his own Shippuden form fare?
After entering the training ground, Sasuke first tried out Shippuden Sasuke's basic attacks. There were four hits in the combo, with the last hit delivering a powerful slash. While the combo wasn't flashy, its stability was impeccable! The feel and damage were also quite good.
Since it's just a B-Rank Ninja, Sasuke didn't expect much from the basic attacks, but he was satisfied with Shippuden Sasuke's.
Next, he quickly tested the first and second skills. Both were ranged skills, though not particularly long-range, and they couldn't cross the Y-axis. They also had noticeable start-up and recovery frames, but overall, the strength was solid for a B-Rank Ninja.
Then Sasuke casually tested the ultimate's damage.
Since he had switched Ninja, he also changed the training dummy to Shippuden Naruto.
Sasuke activated Kirin. Although there was no background image, the effects were stunning.
After all, when Shippuden Sasuke was first released, this ultimate Jutsu had overshadowed most other ninja's ultimates.
Sasuke was quite pleased with the skill design, but what really stood out was the artwork!
'Oh my god! This is literally me!'
Sasuke almost shouted out loud.

In fact, this version of Shippuden Sasuke's strength was directly based on the buffed version Yuto had implemented.
The pre-buff Shippuden Sasuke had a second skill was a joke, as it's just a lightning that couldn't knock the opponent airborne at the end, leaving them to fall and preventing follow-up attacks. The long recovery frames also left you wide open for counters.
And the basic attacks? Their stability was also questionable, though when Shippuden Sasuke was first released...
Anyone who saw him would probably exclaim, "What the heck is this lottery skill? Two lottery skills and they still haven't nerfed this?"
As for the unstable basic attacks... such issues were common in the early days of the game. Back then, it was all about testing the player's fundamentals.
But for the newer Ninja released in recent years? Fundamentals? What's that? Combos? Don't you just hold down the attack button and let it auto-chain? If your combo isn't in the hundreds, you'd be too embarrassed to even mention it.

"The next Ninja to try... Shippuden Cursed Seal Sasuke. It's a bit ugly, but if this is the result of getting stronger, then it's fine."
Looking at the artwork for Shippuden Cursed Seal Sasuke, Sasuke couldn't decide if it was good or bad.
He had gotten stronger, but also uglier.
After switching to Shippuden Cursed Seal Sasuke, Sasuke started changing the training dummy.
Just as he was holding back laughter while searching for the B-Rank Four-Tails Naruto, a figure suddenly appeared beside him...
"Hey! Sasuke, so you're here!"
Sasuke looked up, 'Wasn't that Naruto?'
"What's the matter?" Sasuke asked cooly.
Naruto chuckled, "Since your series of ninja came out, we haven't had a one-on-one match. How about... a duel!"
Sasuke smirked, feeling that he looked absolutely cool. He struck a pose, covering one eye with his hand while activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, and said disdainfully, "You? Just a loser. If you want to experience the gap in our strength, I'd be happy to oblige..."
Naruto, seeing Sasuke like this, felt a bit worried and quickly said, "Sasuke, are you okay? If not, I'll go find Kakashi-sensei for a match?"
Sasuke's face darkened, 'This idiot Naruto, can't he see how cool I look?'
"Fine, let's fight."
Seeing that Sasuke had accepted his challenge, Naruto was thrilled. "Great, I'll invite you."

After agreeing to Naruto's battle invitation, Sasuke didn't hesitate to bench his previously used lineup.
'What level are they? How dare they take my, Uchiha Sasuke's spot?'
Soon, Sasuke chose the three Uchiha Sasukes.
Uchiha Sasuke [Eternal Mangekyo], Uchiha Sasuke [Susanoo], Uchiha Sasuke [Mangekyo Sharingan].
Although he hadn't played the latter two before, Sasuke felt that these three were probably the strongest forms.
However, when Sasuke was about to field the Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke, his phone, which he forgot to adjust the volume, emitted a familiar sound, "Later~"
This immediately caught Naruto's attention, as he was very familiar with that sound.
"Ah! You're going to use Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke!"
Sasuke's face darkened again. Earlier, in the training camp, he had been admiring his own handsome illustration and even turned up the volume to enjoy his magnetic voice.
He forgot to turn it off, which led to Naruto knowing which ninja he had chosen...
'What should I do? Should I change it?'
Normally, if such crucial information about the fielded Ninja was leaked, Sasuke would have switched to another Ninja to win the match.
However, Naruto's next words were: "This Ninja is pretty useless! His skill cooldowns are very long, and his ultimate damage is mediocre. I don't recommend you play him, otherwise, you'll only be able to use basic attacks this round."
Upon hearing the first half of Naruto's sentence, Sasuke couldn't hold back anymore.
'No, no, gotta hold in the laughter.'
'I'll beat him up later so he'll realize his mistake.'
But then Sasuke heard, "Ultimate damage? What ultimate damage?"
Sasuke only knew that when skills were chained with ultimate skills, four different ultimate effects could be activated, but there didn't seem to be a normal ultimate Jutsu.
Naruto looked puzzled, "Huh? You didn't know? Pervy Sage told me... Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke's ultimate can only be activated by holding it down, so when I tried it, I held it down."
'Oh my God, there is actually such a thing?'
Sasuke had to admit, he really didn't know.
'But...your intel is good, but soon it'll be mine.'
After finalizing the lineup, both sides entered the loading screen.
Sasuke: Eternal Mangekyo Sasuke, Susanoo Sasuke, Hawk Sasuke.
Naruto: Kurama Link Naruto, Nine-Tails Naruto, Sage Naruto.
