So the hero doesn't get to beat his rival in this manga. It looks to be a tie and Naruto could only win the emotional battle. Kishimoto couldn't bring himself to make his main character beat his pet character. He had no problem in making Sasuke beat Naruto in part 1 but Naruto cannot get the same
I was expecting something like this ever since " I want to beat you but not the present you" words from Naruto.
But that doesn't lessen my disappointment.
One more thing- Why give Naruto and Sasuke power through the sun and moon symbols only to later take it away in the
most brutal way imaginable? Their arms had to be sacrificed..?! And worse, something that drastic just to stuff more NaruSasu down our throats..?!
