Chapter 883: Crushing Defeat!
Chapter 883: Crushing Defeat!
"Let them go!" Naruto shouted in desperation, and he immediately transformed into his Five-Tailed Beast form, pouncing forward.
Yes, this is the protagonist.
Whenever needed, he can always 'Power Surge'.
As for ordinary ninjas trying to do the same... well, they might as well think about where they'll be buried after they're dead.
Five-Tailed Beast!
In the past, he would have lost control and gone berserk, but now, it didn't affect Naruto's sanity at all.
This was because the Nine-Tailed Beast was different from before.
The last time the Six Paths descended upon Naruto as a 'stand-in', although they didn't directly interact, the Nine-Tailed Beast could sense something, and after a verbal lashing, both sides began to reconcile.
It could be said that after the battle at the Heavenly Bridge, Naruto's strength had been increasing day by day.
The Five-Tailed Beast was far from his limit; it only depended on his physical endurance.
In the original storyline, Naruto's strength skyrocketed while he was at Mount Myoboku, practicing Sage Jutsu and enhancing his physical qualities with the help of natural energy.
Now, without the aid of a sacred place like Mount Myoboku, even if the Toad Clan was willing to help, the effect wouldn't be as powerful as in the original story.
Of course, Naruto in Sage Mode was also learning alongside Asuma.
There was still some Toad Oil available, so supplying it to both of them wasn't an issue.
However, it was impossible to leave a clone behind to absorb natural energy using Toad Oil and enter Sage Mode at any time, as it was in the original story.
"Sky Void Strike!"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki clenched her right fist and punched forward.
Even with Naruto in his Five-Tailed Beast form, she didn't take him seriously, instead focusing on controlling her strength to avoid hitting him too hard.
Boom! The air exploded, and Naruto was sent flying.
If he hadn't been in his Tailed Beast form, this strike would have blown him to pieces, as the Sky Void Strike was powerful enough to be 'recognized' even by Tailed Beasts.
But Naruto was like an indestructible 'cockroach', and with the protection of the Tailed Beast Suit, there was no danger to his life. Being knocked away didn't mean he was in peril.
If it had been a piercing attack like the 'Drill Wave', the Tailed Beast Suit's defense wouldn't have been enough.
Moreover, recently, Hyuga Tsukuyuki had developed even more outrageous techniques on top of this one.
They were of the ultra-S-rank variety!
Unfortunately, she couldn't use them today, and ordinary opponents weren't worthy of her skills.
After knocking Naruto away, Hyuga Tsukuyuki reinforced her 'stance' with her power, preparing to crush Asuma and Saji beneath her might. She relished in tormenting and crushing her enemies.
Whoosh!
Several kunai suddenly shot towards Hyuga Tsukuyuki's back.
Just as they were about to hit their mark, the kunai abruptly stopped and were repelled by a force.
This was no joke.
The Rebirth Eye provided a 360-degree blindspot-free field of vision, making it the best defense against sneak attacks.
"So, there's still a little mouse here?" Hyuga Tsukuyuki turned her head and saw Sakura, her face filled with fear but still bravely attacking.
"Universal Celestial Attraction!"
With her free left hand, she formed a claw, ready to grab Sakura.
"Go to hell!"
Sakura struck first, hurling a thick wooden stake the size of a thigh.
Even without learning the technique of monstrous strength, her power was not weak, causing the wooden stake to fly like a cannonball.
"Eh!"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki swept her Rebirth Eye, and she immediately discovered several explosive tags hidden within the wooden stake. If she had truly continued to use Universal Celestial Attraction to pull Sakura towards her, she would have been blown up by the explosive tags first.
Although the 'Feather Robe' could ensure her safety, she didn't want to expose too much information, so she abandoned the Universal Celestial Attraction and used the force to repel the wooden stake.
What a smart move!
Hyuga Tsukuyuki had a newfound respect for this transparent member of Team 7.
"How is this possible..."
Sakura watched the falling wooden stake, her eyes filled with undeniable disappointment.
This tactic was something she had been thinking about for a long time.
First, she would use the kunai to sneak attack, and if it succeeded, great. If not, it could still draw the opponent's attention, causing them to use Universal Celestial Attraction, and then she could attack with the explosive tags. Even if it didn't kill the opponent, it would heavily injure them, giving her a chance to rescue her teammates.
But she hadn't expected the opponent to be like a clairvoyant, immediately discovering the explosive tags.
Boom! Boom!
Several explosions rang out in succession, shattering the wooden stake that had fallen to the ground and causing a startling thought to flash through Sakura's mind.
"No way!"
She tried to see through the mask and look at the eyes behind it.
X-Ray Vision?
That was the most likely explanation.
If it weren't for that, there was no way to account for it.
Hyuga Tsukuyuki naturally understood that Sakura was trying to draw her attention, buying time for Naruto to return and counterattack while also seeking an opportunity.
So, she scanned Asuma and Saji with her eyes, finally locking onto the latter.
The reason was that she had occasionally heard Tang Ping complain about Saji, saying things like 'he's such a pig' and 'what a waste of good cabbage' (Ino married Saji!).
Even though she didn't know what it meant, she could tell that her master was displeased with the other party, so she took the opportunity to lash out.
"A bag of rice is too much (Accept the pain)!"
Her right hand aimed at Saji.
"No!"
Sakura naturally saw this scene in mid-air and screamed.
But Hyuga Tsukuyuki wasn't like those villains who enjoyed hearing verbal jutsu and would stop; instead, she forcefully clenched her fist.
Boom!!!
The terrifying power instantly crushed Saji's body, like popping a balloon.
If the other party had enough chakra, it would have been difficult to do this.
But Saji had just exhausted his chakra to use the Nine-Headed Dragon to cover himself, and now without chakra, he was naturally crushed by the force field.
It was as if thousands of tons of weight had suddenly pressed down.
Force field!
The correct version is available at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar is the first to release this novel.
Although the consumption is enormous, the effect is indeed remarkable.
"Saji!"
Naruto's furious voice echoed, his eyes turning into bright red beast pupils, and his eight tails appeared behind him.
"Naruto, do you still think that bonds and the Flame Will can represent everything?" Hyuga Tsukuyuki asked disdainfully, simultaneously using repulsive force to push towards the other party.
She found their Motherly Heart annoying and didn't want to indulge them.
"Give Saji back to me!"
Naruto roared, forcefully withstanding the repulsive force.
Even though the ground around him was pushed away by the force, he still managed to stabilize himself by using his eight tails to anchor into the ground, preventing himself from being pushed away.
He had another power surge!
At this moment, Hyuga Tsukuyuki also slightly understood why Tang Ping valued Naruto, the 'protagonist', so much.
His unpredictability was genuinely strong! If he had attacked earlier, he might have used some unexpected ability to defeat her.
But... what difference does another power surge make?
The gap in strength between the two was like heaven and earth, and it couldn't be bridged by a few power surges.
"Naruto, I really want to know, when faced with this choice, what will you choose?"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki slowly threw Asuma, who was almost crushed by the force field, to the other side of the giant pit, while Saji's meatball fell to the ground without any concern.
If someone wanted to be resurrected, it wasn't impossible.
A mere Saji wasn't qualified enough for Hyuga Tsukuyuki to 'destroy the body and erase the traces.'
Therefore, with Hyuga Tsukuyuki at the center, Naruto in the west, Sakura in the south, and Asuma thrown to the north.
"You won't get away with this!"
Although Naruto didn't know what Hyuga Tsukuyuki was planning, he instinctively felt something was wrong and charged forward.
With his potential unleashed, his speed was astonishing.
Sky Void Strike!
Hyuga Tsukuyuki first punched Asuma, who was struggling to get up, and then aimed her fingertip at the other side, where Sakura was hiding behind a tree.
Clearly, the other party was trying to test her information, but Hyuga Tsukuyuki didn't care.
In the past, she had to hide everywhere.
But now, there was no need for that.
Even if the Rebirth Eye was exposed, so what?
Just like Haruno Rin, who had previously tried every means to prevent information leaks.
But now, she didn't hide at all, except for not publicly announcing it. She wasn't afraid of being discovered.
After all, the Sunlight Nation had already become one of the two poles of the Shinobi World, and this 'one of' suffix would soon be removed.
That's how domineering it was.
Even the relationship between the Shell Organization and the Sunlight Nation wasn't overly concealed anymore.
Facing Hyuga Tsukuyuki's actions, Naruto, who was charging forward, was in trouble.
A choice between two!
At this moment, he could save either Asuma or Sakura.
But he couldn't save them both.
"Teacher Asuma!"
Naruto ultimately chose to save Asuma, who couldn't dodge.
The simplest reason was that Sakura was hiding behind the tree, and Naruto couldn't see her, so he thought Sakura could dodge on her own.
Otherwise, if his goddess and teacher were attacked simultaneously, he would definitely save his goddess.
In terms of being a lapdog, he wasn't weaker than the White Eye Wolf.
Boom!
Naruto blocked the Sky Void Strike with his body and heavily smashed into the ground, creating a pit.
Of course, this was because Hyuga Tsukuyuki intentionally slowed down; otherwise, Naruto might not have made it even if he unleashed the Eight-Tails.
But before Naruto could rejoice in saving his teacher, he saw a scene that left him stunned.
