Chapter 805: The Truth of the Laboratory!
Chapter 805: The Truth of the Laboratory!
"Yamato..."
Naruto was bewildered. He couldn't understand how his former comrade, who had once shared his love for the village, had become like this.
"Naruto..."
Yamato also sighed in disbelief.
Only after learning Naruto's identity did he realize that he was indeed the 'Prince of Naruto' and not the never-give-up dead-last that he had admired.
Without the special filter, he naturally regained his rationality.
The Will of Fire was indeed admirable, but the problem was that the Hokage lineage only talked and never acted. They always manipulated them like cattle, sending them to their deaths to gain benefits, and who would believe that?
Although they had only left Konoha, a pathetic thick wall now separated them.
"Such touching friendship. However, you'll stay here!"
A sudden voice startled the eight members of the two squads on the island, causing them to freeze.
Splash! Splash!
Figures emerged from the seawater, surrounding them.
They had human upper bodies covered in scales and fish tails instead of legs, resembling mermaids.
And that wasn't all!
In the distance, on the sea surface, there were also numerous warships, clearly belonging to the same group as these mermaids.
"Who are you?"
Tian Tian called out, testing them while also preparing for battle.
Neji, Chino, and Yamato immediately retreated to her side, ready to protect her.
Anyone attempting a close-quarters attack would have to break through their defense first.
"Naruto, come back quickly!"
Sakura retreated to Yamato's side, calling out to Naruto.
The two squads were separated by several dozen meters, and neither side showed any intention of closing the distance.
"We are the ghosts of this laboratory. Since you've come to investigate, stay here!"
A fish-like creature, several meters tall and covered in black scales, roared. In his hand, a trident-like weapon pointed forward, clearly giving the order to attack.
Anyone who came to investigate the truth of the laboratory was a target to be eliminated.
Tian Tian also understood the oily fish-like substance outside the laboratory; it was left behind by these creatures.
Apparently, the previous teams that came to receive the laboratory were killed by them.
Tian Tian began observing, thinking about how to maximize her damage if she had to fight.
These half-human, half-fish creatures with scales covering their bodies weren't fast, after all, they had fish tails.
However, around them were crabs, octopuses, lobsters, starfish, and other sea creatures of various sizes.
If there were only a few hundred of these fish-like creatures, they wouldn't be enough for them to fight.
But with these sea creatures, the situation became more complicated.
"Gentle Fist!"
"Host Parasite!"
"Yamato's Fang!"
Here, there was no need to worry about accidental injuries like in the experiments, so they used their ninjutsu without hesitation.
Not far away, Team 7 also took action.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto formed hand seals.
White mist exploded around him, and numerous shadow clones appeared.
An army of one!
This was a true army of one.
Although these shadow clones weren't very strong and would dissipate when attacked, their sheer number was impressive.
Just this aspect was enough.
No wonder Naruto could conquer with his clones and Rasengan; this technique indeed had limitless potential.
Whoosh! A tentacle as thick as a water barrel swept across, instantly turning a group of Naruto clones into white mist.
However, the more numerous Naruto clones seized the opportunity to charge forward.
"Rasengan!"
The real Naruto's left-handed Rasengan heavily struck an octopus, twisting it with terrifying force and sending it flying, blood and flesh scattering everywhere.
"Beast Illusion!"
Sawai unrolled a scroll and quickly drew numerous wild wolves, adding them to the battle.
"Wood Style: Great Forest Technique!"
Yamato extended his right arm, transforming it into multiple vines that quickly controlled the sea beasts. Then, with a slow exertion of force, he crushed them.
If only his Wood Style was stronger, like Hashirama's, he would have easily crushed them.
And so, the battle began.
Surrounded by sea beasts from all directions, the two squads found themselves in a difficult situation.
If there was a place to escape, it might be better.
But with enemies all around and warships at sea, there was nowhere to flee.
"We'll break through!"
Daisuke, with his wealth of experience, gave the order.
Continuing the fight would only lead to death unless they could kill the enemy, so they couldn't afford to hold out.
Upon hearing the command, Sawai quickly drew an eagle.
A piercing eagle cry rang out as Team 7 leaped onto the eagle's back and took to the sky.
Naruto wanted to call out to Tiantian and the others, but Sakura held him back.
Controlling Naruto was probably Team 7's most important task.
Without her, no one could restrain Naruto.
"Wait a moment!"
Tiantian didn't intend to persist, but she didn't think it would be this easy to escape. If it were that simple, no one would have managed to escape in the previous attempts.
Whoosh!
Streams of water jets shot out from the seabed, blasting the eagle drawn by Sawai and causing Team 7 to fall from above.
It was a Water Jet Fish!
Just a sea beast.
Sea beasts!
They were actually ninja beasts that lived in the vast ocean.
They possessed unique abilities, similar to the molting of the Snake Beast or the splitting of the Slug Beast, which weren't ninja techniques but innate talents.
The water jets from earlier were the innate talents of these Water Jet Fish.
If they were of a normal size, it wouldn't be a problem.
But these Water Jet Fish, several meters long, fired water jets with the power to pierce through metal and stone, and it was no wonder they could achieve such exaggerated results.
"Damn it!"
After Team 7 fell into the sea, they were forced back to the island.
The vast ocean was the fishmen's home ground, and fighting there would only lead to quicker depletion of their resources.
The distant warships had surrounded the island but showed no further action.
The flags on the ships indicated that they belonged to the Sea Country.
Clearly, these fishmen, modified by the lab, had now joined forces with them.
The Sea Country!
This must be related to the lab's change in circumstances.
"Since we can't escape..."
Tiantian, seeing the plight of Team 7, abandoned her plan to flee.
"Tiantian, why don't we try to break through again?"
Neji was the first to speak up.
Seeing Tiantian like this made him worried.
Although they were teammates, and the fishmen wouldn't attack them, the aftermath was still hard to endure.
"That's right! We'll think of another way; we can definitely retreat!"
Yamato added.
After witnessing their fighting style, he genuinely didn't want to see it again.
"No need!" Tiantian shook her head, a radiant smile appearing on her face. "Since the stage is set, how could I possibly refuse the invitation?"
"Tiantian, your words are becoming more and more like Tang Ping's!"
Chino couldn't help but tease her.
As the higher-ups often heard Tang Ping's unique expressions, many had been influenced by him, especially those in the core circle.
Phrases like 'Apex of Ninjutsu, Overwhelming the World, Before There was Heaven, There was Tohei' had become the most common sayings among the Uchiha clan.
"Shut up!"
Tiantian, her face turning red, silenced Chino.
She couldn't help it; it wasn't intentional. But after spending so much time with them, it was natural to be influenced.
Tiantian took a deep breath. The silver armguard on her wrist expanded, enveloping her in a thin, silver armor.
Yes!
This was the Extraordinary Organ.
Even in the entire Heavenly Castle Hall, there weren't many who possessed it.
And its effect?
Those who understood knew its power.
Whether it was Uchiha Mei, Hyuga Soratsuki, or Yamanaka Koji, they all testified to the strength and fearsome nature of this organ.
It could truly bring about a qualitative change in a person.
The reason Tiantian's Extraordinary Organ was completed quickly was because its difficulty wasn't too high, and the materials consumed weren't excessive.
But these weren't free; they had to be repaid.
So, Tiantian now carried a debt.
Her Extraordinary Organ didn't have many functions, and it hardly directly enhanced her combat abilities. Still, it had transformed her fighting prowess entirely.
