It seems pretty obvious that Sasuke will hesitate and then flashback
As much I don't want to believe this I think you're 100% correct. Sasuke can't bring himself to killing his friend. To the Sakura point, I don't think she'll make it in time to jump in front of Naruto and Sasuke.
I just realized this is still a possible outcome.
I like the ADHD outcome the most. Nice little flashback to the old days.
I seriously loved this chapter though, and could really feel the emotion and tension within. No super crazy abilities that took the whole chapter to charge up, nothing like that. Just pages and pages of back and forth ass-kicking. I wasn't too fond of the absorption bit at the end, because the cliffhanger is more than likely going to lead to something shitty. Perhaps Sakura will take a fatal blow of sacrifice and everything will go crazy. Maybe even Naruto will reveal some secret power that fucks over Sasuke, or like mentioned, a flashback will fuck with Sasuke's head and make him not go through with it, forever exposing Naruto as the weaker of the two. Regardless of the result, I think there's a 90% chance I'll be unhappy with it.

^I guess that's the thing-- I wouldn't mind the cliff-hanger if I could tell this was going to be a Naruto-v-Neji-esque outcome, and this was just the last swing to Sasuke before the end where Naruto pulls out some clever shit.
But, reasons to doubt:
The thing is Naruto has had so many crappy swings since the Neji fight I just don't trust Kishi to come up with anything good like that anymore, and he's pretty much portrayed Naruto at wits end during this chapter (which again makes absolutely no sense given Naruto's canon superior endurance-- not to mention Naruto's canon superior speed appears nowhere in this fight which is dumb, and Naruto's canon elemental advantage appears nowhere in this fight which is dumb-- fuck, this fight feels less canon than a One Piece movie js).
But, reasons for hope:
I guess one thing to remember though is that this is almost a mirror scene to the end of the Hashirama v. Madara fight, where at the very end of his limits, Hashirama finds in himself the resolve to kill Madara for the sake of the village, and uses his Mokuton clone to finish it. Here Naruto is in the same situation-- pressed in a fight disadvantaged by his lack of will to kill, and maybe he actually has the same last reserves as Hashirama. Sasuke may have the Rinnengan's ability to fall back on, but Naruto has the Ashura-line body, and the will of fire. He has the similar Shadow clone tech to Hashirama, so he's put in the same situation-- to kill, or be killed.
And from this situation, a fantastic conclusion could be pulled forth if Naruto finds an answer where Hashirama failed (to not kill his friend).

And at the end the most powerful jutsus out there was created by a Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto.
A jutsu that doesn't need any seal to be performed (but somehow you should teleport to a special dimension), a jutsu that a lot of people before him tried to use but failed miserably (looking at you Hashirama!), the ultimate jutsu that saved the ninja world (but not his arm, at least not this chapter).
The Superguaimimai megapowerful ultrainfinite TALK NO JUTSU!!!
Edit: Saskuke is still an emo. Loser.

It seems so v. This chapter wasn't that bad tbh, Tho I could see that coming.
Try again
Then there'll be 700 chapters exactly as some predicted.
Also, their bloodstains on the last page sort of form a heart ahah. It's close enough to a kiss >_>

And that explains why Sakura woke up. She's gonna save the two lovebirds' lives.
Was wondering how long it would take for them to lose some arms from all those jutsus they've been flinging. Though Naruto can easily recreate missing limbs now, once he gets some chakra back.
Still sad it's all about to end, all these years of following it...now what? It's like when Harry Potter ended many years ago, just kinda leaves a boring void to fill. I mean, I guess there's Bleach, but it jumped the shark long ago and is decaying slowly as well.

Would be loltastic if they couldn't undue the eternal tsukuyomi without their ying-yang seal hands (which got blown up).
Overall satisfied, even though there was nothing cunning/inspiring in the end.
Edit: Also, anyone notice Sasuke used his right eye mangekyo for the kagutsuchi when canon it's his left eye that casts Amaterasu?

Okay, that chapter was just fantastic. I don't care how much talking there was, that was beautiful. I'm really happy that it didn't end up being some sort of bullshit to make things more complicated. It was very simple, but oh so powerful. I can't for next week to see it all wrap up.
