Tsunade has finally returned to Konoha as the Fifth Hokage. With no time to celebrate her appointment, she throws herself into healing the wounded—including Kakashi, broken by his clash with Itachi, and Sasuke, who has slept since that battle. Even Rock Lee, whose future as a ninja hangs by a thread, is offered a sliver of hope through a dangerous operation. But as Sasuke recovers, the crushing gap between him and his brother burns in his chest. Driven by envy and impatience, he suddenly challenges Naruto to a fight on the rooftop. In volume 20, the bond between two best friends begins to crack.

Naruto Vol. 20 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Under Tsunade's care, Kakashi and Sasuke recover. But crushed by his defeat to Itachi—and learning that Naruto has grown on his journey and mastered a Rasengan to rival him—Sasuke's frustration boils over. He lures Naruto to the hospital rooftop and starts a duel, hurling Chidori at him. Naruto answers with Rasengan, and the two high-level techniques collide—until Kakashi rushes in, splits them apart, and slams them into the water tanks to barely stop the fight. This clash leaves Sasuke starving for power and becomes the decisive trigger that turns his heart toward Orochimaru's offer.
