A vision of a younger Sasuke and Naruto shows the two form a seal as a symbol of friendship, and they smile at each other. Naruto and Sasuke are left hovering within the sphere, gazing sadly at each other. Getting closer, Kakashi senses the massive chakra and tells Pakkun to hurry. Likewise, Naruto only scratches Sasuke's forehead protector, disproving the boy's earlier taunt and minimising the effects of the Rasengan. At the last moment, Sasuke chooses to punch Naruto in the chest rather than impale him with the Chidori. They collide in an explosion of blue and red chakra that forms a swirling black sphere of energy. Deciding it is time to put an end to the fight and their history together, both ninja charge at each other with their ultimate techniques. The strength of Sasuke's Chidori increases, becoming a Flapping Chidori. Naruto straightens up and forms a Demon Fox Rasengan using only his right hand as his left hand is still out of commission. Sasuke envisions Itachi's distorted Sharingan, which drives him to form Chidori a third time. A series of flashbacks recap the two boys' relationship up to this point: the formation of Team 7 Sasuke's superior abilities Naruto's incredible improvement Sasuke's subsequent jealousy and eventually their inevitable fight on the rooftop. Sasuke tells Naruto that they are fighting in the Valley of the End and that it is the perfect stage for their battle. He realises the Nine-Tailed Fox form is taking a toll on his body, which Sasuke happily notices as well.

Naruto stands, his left hand completely immobile.

Knowing that his body will erode if kept in this state, Sasuke tells himself he hasn't any time to waste. He remembers Sakon's warning not to use the fully released Cursed Seal for too long. Sasuke extends the wing and sends Naruto shooting towards the opposite side of the river.Ī second wing tears through the back of Sasuke's shirt, and he groans in pain.

When the dust settles, Naruto is shocked to see a giant wing coming out of Sasuke's back, which has deflected his attack. Enraged, Naruto charges at Sasuke, and the two clash sending up a cloud of debris. Sasuke, having activated his Cursed Seal of Heaven level 2, laughs and arrogantly tells Naruto he has a feeling he will not lose. " The End of Tears" ( 涙雨の結末, Namida Ame no Ketsumatsu) is episode 134 of the original Naruto anime.
