Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 212 Head-on confrontation, intensity intensifies! (4K)

At this moment, even Yamanaka Fu was beginning to doubt whether the so-called illusion trap was something Naruto had made up.

Actually, he and Sakura wanted to kill him, but he chose to self-destruct in the end, which forced them to stop their operation.

No, with their capabilities, stopping the explosive tag would be a piece of cake...

So you really did get infected yourself?

"Excuse me, could you please explain the process in detail?" Yamanaka Fu showed his curiosity, and Narumi Sakura exchanged a glance with him. The former briefly explained the situation.

In Naru-sakura's eyes, Yamanaka Fu suddenly launched an attack on the two of them just as they were about to return after completing their reconnaissance.

Seeing the situation escalate, the two men retaliated, and after he turned away from the mental barrier, they escalated the situation further, almost causing him to perish along with them.

It wasn't until Sakura noticed something was wrong that Naruto used his teleportation ability to dispel the genjutsu.

Yamanaka Fu fell silent; this explanation seemed to make sense. Naruto, however, looked at the broken talisman in his hand and his mind began to race.

Talismans, in the Naruto setting, combine chakra manipulation, sealing techniques, barrier techniques, and other technologies; they are both ninja tools and carriers of ninjutsu.

The original work features a wide variety of talismans, including common explosive talismans, sealing talismans, and healing talismans, as well as special talismans such as the Mind Transfer Talisman and the Impure World Reincarnation Control Talisman.

Naruto, after some thought, concluded that this so-called illusion talisman was a product of the plot changes he had triggered.

It's somewhat like one's own actions triggering a butterfly effect, creating these kinds of spells in the process of natural deduction.

"Is this a trap left by someone from the Akatsuki organization?" Yamanaka Fu asked.

Naruto shook his head: "We found several similar talismans in the tree trunks nearby. They don't seem to have been left recently, but..."

Mountain Wind: "However?"

"This little gadget is quite interesting. I'm going to take it back and have the Dark Division study it."

Naruto hopes that the replicas can be mass-produced so that he can even change his class and become a genjutsu ninja.

It’s exciting to think about.

But Sakura immediately poured cold water on the idea: "The possibility of replicating it is very small. Writing runes requires mastery of ancient ninja script and the sealing runes of the Uzumaki clan. Furthermore, the energy injection must focus on the balance between Yin and Yang Release to maintain the stability of the runes."

"There was a lot of chance involved in Yusuke being able to create a communication talisman for Tuo Ren before, and even if it was created, it couldn't be easily mass-produced, could it?"

Naruto nodded seriously: "You're a top student, I'll listen to you."

After resting for a while, the group continued on to the next location.

During this process, Yamanaka Kaze's impression of the two men changed further.

If he came to the modern world, he would know that he was trapped in an information cocoon, and his colleagues all gave Mingying negative reviews and had different stances, so naturally they would harbor resentment towards the two of them.

It's like an algorithm pushing misogynistic news to some people every day, making them step into an information latrine.

"So I was too extreme... But they're only after their own interests, so how is this any different from my previous situation?"

Yamanaka Fu still felt that joining Naruto's faction was no different from his previous bias towards Danzo, so he decided to wait and see.

Soon, they arrived at the next location.

Yamanaka Fu noticed Sakura's glance and began searching. This time, only a moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, barely daring to breathe, and whispered that a huge amount of chakra had appeared.

Sakura's face turned slightly serious: "Understood. Turn your attention back to the animals, make sure it's correct, and come back immediately... Be careful this time."

After saying that, Naruto leaned closer to Yamanaka Fuu and gently placed one hand on his back, ready to disrupt the flow of chakra at any moment.

Yamanaka Kaze nodded, then turned his attention to a wild rabbit and began to rush rapidly toward the direction of the massive chakra.

The rabbit's eyes darted around, searching for cover to make itself less conspicuous.

rustling...

The hare gradually slowed down, trying to make itself as quiet as possible.

There were hardly any leaves to be seen around; looking up, all that could be seen were bare tree trunks piercing the sky.

The continuous, thick branches gradually came into view, making the surroundings appear even more desolate.

The rabbit's pupils contracted slightly as it stared at the figure moving forward in the distance, dispelling the Mind Transfer Technique.

Shan Zhongfeng opened his eyes and said to the two in a deep voice, "It is indeed him. It is about three kilometers northwest of where we are starting from."

Sakura nodded and instructed Yamanaka Fu, "After making contact with the enemy, stay in the back and don't attack, understand?"

Shan Zhongfeng paused, then took out a puppet and slowly said, "...I might be able to help. As long as I control the enemy's attacks, I can seal their soul inside this puppet."

He was referring to his own unique ninjutsu, the Mind Transfer Clone Technique.

The reason I mentioned this is because I had heard that the Akatsuki had a method to control the tailed beasts. If Naruto used the Nine-Tails' power and was countered, it would be terrible.

To everyone's surprise, Naruto shook his head: "No need, just watch the battle."

"What if something unexpected happens to you?"

Sakura replied, "That's very unlikely, but if it happens, you should run back to Konoha as soon as possible. You're not an offensive ninja, so you can't possibly be his match."

Yamanaka Fu was somewhat unconvinced. As far as he knew, Sakura did indeed possess a unique water-style technique, but wasn't she still a medical ninja?

He is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and might be even more useful than Sakura.

Seeing the two's resolute attitude, Shan Zhongfeng didn't say much and could only hope that nothing went wrong.

The three of them began to rapidly approach Kakuzu's direction.

……

the other side.

Kakuzu rushed towards a certain direction at high speed.

After leaving the meeting, he cautiously chose to take another route and inquired about Konoha's intelligence along the way.

As soon as he notices any trace of a ninja, he will immediately change course and remain in hiding.

This is why Naruto and Sakura have been searching for him for so long. Kakuzu was originally a steady person, and after Hidan was beheaded, he became even more cautious and started rushing towards the direction of cautious courage.

For example, he had just noticed something unusual happening behind him, so he immediately switched from walking to running and kept accelerating.

beep, beep...

His heavy footsteps echoed on the ground as he stared ahead, his eyes narrowed as he surveyed his surroundings.

suddenly,

His pupils contracted sharply, his body shrunk, and he instantly formed the Earth Seal.

"boom!!!"

A barrage of explosive tag kunai with steel wire attached came toward Kakuzu. He instinctively dodged most of them and hardened his body to avoid the remaining bombardment.

At the same time, the exposed tree roots were bombarded and crushed, wood chips flew everywhere, rocks crumbled, and dust rose.

Almost instantly, Kakuzu lifted his Akatsuki robe, and four masks burst forth from his back to protect his left and right sides, but at the same time, he still maintained his running motion!
The masked monsters followed him around like guardians, unleashing both wind and fire techniques towards the left.

"Wind Escape·Press!"

"Fire Release: Head Hardening!" But before he could finish speaking, a loud explosion came from afar!
A colossal wave, like a tornado, surged from afar, then crashed towards Kakuzu like a waterfall! He stared ahead and saw two figures dressed in black robes.

Water Release: Water Rush Wave can summon water that spins and rises rapidly like a tornado in an instant. The water then spreads out like a waterfall and crashes down on the opponent, eventually forming a large river.

This action was intended to change the surrounding environment, but it also instantly consumed a large amount of Sakura's chakra.

The water surged and quickly collided with the fire jutsu, instantly producing a sizzling sound and generating intense high-temperature evaporation!
Amidst the swirling water vapor, Kakuzu made the Lightning Release masked monster speak, preparing to unleash Lightning Release: False Darkness.

He knew he might also be implicated, but he didn't care. It was obviously worthwhile for him to exchange one person for two injured people. This was the confidence that the five heart holders had for blood transfusion.

At that moment, Kakuzu saw several figures rapidly approaching him through the thick mist, their speed terrifying!

Without any hesitation, he immediately hardened his body to meet the person in the middle, while the Lightning Release masked monster was ready to attack, and at the same time, he also made the Water Release masked monster next to him ready.

"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"

A thick electric gun instantly formed, but instead of immediately plunging into the ground, it caused another water-style masked monster to speak:

"Water Escape·Water Curtain!"

A high-pressure water cannon instantly materialized from the mask's mouth, echoing the surrounding river as it shot forward like a cannon booming. At the same time, thick lightning spears were fired simultaneously, joining the water cannon.

This is Kakuzu's Water Release technique, which has never been shown in the original work, and it is a combination of Lightning Release and Water Release techniques.

Not only does it have the paralyzing effect of lightning, but it also comes with a high-pressure water cannon, so a direct hit will be incredibly painful.

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

The two escape techniques reacted chemically, and the water cannon, carrying lightning, was transmitted to the river below, instantly covering most of the area. The figures hidden in the water vapor all disappeared.

"Shadow clones..." Kakuzu didn't have any illusions and immediately summoned the Fire Release and Wind Release masked monsters back to their positions.

But then, he vaguely saw the figure in the steam begin to distort and its expression become somewhat strange.

This doesn't resemble a shadow clone, nor does it seem like a change that would occur in a human body; it's more like rubber.

But before Kakuzu could react, those figures suddenly sprayed towards him with a loud bang.

"boom!!"

The scalding hot water splashed onto the four masks instantly, causing the Fire Release Masked Monster to howl on the spot. Kakuzu's expression changed, and he had the Water Release Masked Monster block the splash damage.

At the same time, he also suffered direct damage. His skin became mottled from the scalding water, and some black lines were even burned off, making his face look extremely ferocious.

Or rather, it looks a bit like a Dalmatian.

Naru-Ying stood on the tree trunk high in the sky, quietly watching this scene.

From the beginning, the two did not choose to engage in close combat directly, but instead had Sakura use secret techniques and water-style techniques to wear her down from a distance.

Those figures in the water vapor were just water clones.

The advantage of this move is that it can kill harmlessly from a distance, but the disadvantage is that it is not lethal enough and consumes a lot of Sakura's chakra.

She took out a soldier's ration pill, chewed and swallowed it expressionlessly, and then prepared to continue releasing the technique, but was stopped by Naruto.

"Take a break first."

Naruto gestured for her to look ahead and discovered that apart from the Fire Release Masked Monster, which was seriously injured, the other masks were all less seriously injured.

“Next, I’ll fight him in close combat, and you can seize any openings,” Naruto said calmly.

Sakura glanced at him: "Still using Wind Release: Technique?"

"Yes, but let's add some ingredients to this."

Naruto has no intention of revealing his true identity; rather, he intends to fully live up to his reputation as a master of Wind Release techniques.

"So are you ready?"

"Yes, we can start anytime. Thanks to you for buying me time."

……

A more secluded location further back.

Yamanaka Kaze sensed the intense clash of escape techniques ahead from afar and felt a pang of fear.

The effects of these escape techniques are beyond what ordinary Jonin can achieve; it can be said that they have brought their respective escape techniques to their fullest potential.

"This person actually possesses five different escape techniques... I can't imagine how terrifying he would be if he went all out."

In the original work, Shikamaru used his wits to save two lives, Naruto used Wind Release: Rasenshuriken to kill the other two, and Kakashi finished them off. It can be said that wits played an important role in the story.

However, in this battle, Naruto and Sakura did not intend to outsmart their opponents, but instead opted for a direct, forceful attack.

The reason is simple: their current strength is no less than that of Kakuzu going all out, which also raises the intensity of the battle by several levels.

Thinking of this, Yamanaka Fu looked at the two Naruto figures sitting cross-legged on the ground beside him.

Immortal mode.

Suddenly, one of the shadow clones dispelled and returned to its original body.

The immortal's face materialized, but was shrouded in a mask, making it impossible to discern any details.

In other words, the Wind Release technique that Naruto will use next will be enhanced by Sage Mode.

At this moment, Kakuzu noticed two figures on the tree trunk, one of which suddenly disappeared.

Subsequently,

"boom!!!"

A huge crater suddenly appeared in the water below, and water droplets flew everywhere, bringing a light drizzle.

A figure in a black robe and mask emerged from the drizzle, his right hand still bearing traces of Wind Release chakra, his aura soaring like a rainbow.

"So strong!" Kakuzu's pupils shrank. The wind-style masked man in front of him had a powerful aura. He felt that this familiar opponent seemed to have become five times stronger!
"Why has he changed like this..." Kakuzu murmured softly, watching Naruto slowly walk towards him.

With each step he took, the temperature around him rose a notch.

"Speed, strength, and chakra have all increased. Could this be a secret technique you've mastered?" Kakuzu asked, his four masks fully activated.

Naruto remained silent, only glancing at the swaying Fire Release masked monster and then at Kakuzu.

"They noticed that I was somewhat at a disadvantage."

Kakuzu commanded the Fire Release masked monster to step back slightly, and then he noticed that Naruto in front of him had suddenly disappeared from the spot!

next moment,
He suddenly turned to the left and saw a black-robed figure, accompanied by a hurricane, rushing towards his lightning-masked monster, his hands forming a hand seal.

Kakuzu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately unleashed his Water Release attack while retreating with his Lightning Release: "Water Release: Water Curtain!"

The water cannon, carrying wind pressure, launched a close-range attack on Naruto. Naruto only felt a thunderous sound in his ears, and instantly experienced tinnitus as he watched the water cannon almost touch his body.

This high-pressure water cannon was even faster than him, and its close-range burst created a combined effect.

Naruto revealed the Wind Release kunai he had hidden in his sleeve and slashed it horizontally!
This strike allowed the Wind Release chakra to cover the faces of the water cannon and the lightning masked monster, creating an extremely wide attack range!
It can be said that at this moment, the attack range of the Wind Release kunai was even longer than that of Danzo's Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.
