The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 249 Exploding Gamabunta
The blinding flash of the blade made Deidara's vision blur.

Before the icy blade energy even reached his body, goosebumps rose on his skin.

His hair stood on end, and he yelled "Oh my god!" before decisively abandoning the clay bird at his feet.

Almost simultaneously, a blinding flash of light swept across like lightning, instantly shredding the clay bird into tiny pieces. It exploded with a deafening roar, scattering sparks like a firework.

Seeing the enemy fall from the sky, Gamabunta, who was also falling, puffed out his cheeks and made a muffled 'gurgling' sound in his throat, while his belly, which was as big as a small mountain, contracted violently.

With a 'poof' sound, a giant water bullet, tens of meters in diameter, shot out of the air and slammed straight into the falling Deidara.

Deidara looked at the water bullets that were comparable to the sea-escape technique, and threw out a large number of clay spiders.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions burst in the air, turning the giant water bomb into a sky full of mist, which then poured down on Mount Myoboku.

Deidara let out a long sigh of relief, his right hand quickly reaching for the cloth bag at his waist, pulling out a clay bird and tossing it to himself with practiced ease, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times.

With a soft 'thump', the bird instantly expanded into a new mount, catching his falling body and carrying him back into the air.

Ever since his defeat against Qin Ye, Deidara has made sure to prepare several clay birds before each mission.

This is what it means to be prepared for any eventuality.

Among the pile of toads, a small, thin figure stood out conspicuously.

He stood atop a stone frog statue, looking up at Deidara in the sky.

Those once clear, ocean-like blue eyes are now being eroded by scarlet at a visible speed, like clear water being stained with ink, gradually becoming murky and boiling.

"Naruto, didn't we tell you not to come out? It's dangerous here, go back!"

The hoarse voice of the hermit Fukasaku came from behind.

The old toad, its body wrapped in blood-soaked bandages, hopped closer with a limp, its wrinkled face etched with worry.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't move. His gaze was fixed on the golden-haired figure high in the sky, his sharp nails digging deeply into his palms.

"They're the ones who killed Jiraiya-sensei, aren't they?"

The boy's voice was terrifyingly low, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, each word carrying an extreme amount of suppressed anger.

Fukasaku sighed deeply, and his webbed toes gently rested on Naruto's shoulder: "Hey, what you need to do now is train hard and not let Jiraiya down."

pat-

Bright red blood dripped from Naruto's clenched fist, splashing onto the stone frog statue in a dazzling display.

But the boy seemed oblivious, staring intently at the sky.

Just then, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly began to wriggle irregularly.

Immediately, a figure darted out silently. Before the immortal could even see who it was, he was struck by a fierce whip kick and sent flying. His withered body crashed through several stalagmites before finally coming to a stop.

Naruto felt a tightness on the back of his neck as a large, iron-like hand gripped his neck and lifted him up like a helpless kitten.

He struggled instinctively, but froze the next second.

A bright knife flashed.

No pain.

Only a sudden, bone-chilling cold.

Naruto looked down blankly and saw his blood gushing out like a fountain from the cut on his torso.

In the pool of blood, his limbs lay quietly, receiving the wash of his own blood, his blood-soaked fingertips even retaining a spasmodic arc.

"Ahhhh——!"

The belated, excruciating pain finally tore through his nerves, and the boy's heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout Mount Myoboku.

When has a boy who has never even seen a battlefield ever been treated like this?

The psychological shock amplified his sense of pain, causing his whole body to convulse and tremble uncontrollably. Every nerve was screaming, every muscle was twitching, and cold sweat mixed with blood soaked through his clothes.

During the violent spasms, the crimson in his eyes grew even more intense, as if some ancient beast was awakening.

"He's just a child, how could you be so cruel, you bastard!"

The enraged sage roared like thunder, his gaunt body trembling with fury.

Ignoring its still-healing injuries, it clasped its hands together, allowing a large amount of natural energy to flow into its body, instantly activating its immortal mode.

Orange-red eyeshadow appeared at the corners of Fukasaku's eyes, and the wrinkles on his skin became taut under the influence of Sage Chakra.

"drink!"

Its withered arms, though muscular, somehow managed to lift a giant stone frog statue a hundred times its own size.

The statue was heavy enough to crush mountains, but it was suddenly thrown out with the help of the immortal's power!

The moment the statue pierced the air, visible ripples were created as if a real mountain had crashed down, casting a shadow over the entire battlefield.

Qin Ye slightly raised his eyes and casually swung the long sword in his hand.

Swah——

The blade flashed like silver threads, multiplying from one to two, then to four, forming a dense, interwoven net in the blink of an eye, cutting the stone frog statue into countless tiny grains of sand.

Hearing his father's roar, Gamabunta turned around and happened to see this scene.

When it noticed Naruto's miserable state in the enemy's hands, its eyes instantly burned with rage.

Without any hesitation, Gamabunta's mountain-like body suddenly leaped up, his short sword reflecting a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.

With a deafening whooshing sound, the short sword, carrying devastating wind pressure, crashed heavily into the ground. Before the blade even touched the ground, the terrifying air pressure had already caused the ground within a radius of a hundred meters to cave in with spiderweb-like cracks.

boom--

The moment the short sword hit the ground, it was like a meteorite impact, with a violent shockwave exploding in a ring, causing the entire earth to churn and crack like ocean waves, and countless fragments of rock were thrown into the air.

The nearest stone peaks collapsed with a deafening roar, and even the distant Toad Oil Waterfall churned violently under this force, with golden waves of oil rising dozens of meters high.

Smoke and dust rose like a mushroom cloud, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Amidst the dust, Qin Ye, carrying the bloodied Naruto in one hand, lightly touched the hilt of Gamabunta's short sword with his toe, and leaped onto Naruto's head like a ghost.

"Crawler, get the hell down here!"

"Get down here! Get down here! I'm going to kill you, tear you to pieces!!!"

Gamabunta's furious roar made the air tremble.

It frantically shook its mountain-like head, trying to shake off the enemy above it.

However, Qin Ye's feet seemed to be welded to the ground, and no matter how violently they shook, his figure remained as steady as a rock.

A chilling glint flashed in Qin Ye's deep eyes as he raised the Thousand Blades high in his right hand, the blade gleaming with an eerie purple light in the sunlight.

Puff!

With a tearing sound of flesh and blood, the Thousand Blades pierced into Gamabunta's body.

The size difference between the two is like that between a human and an ant.

This stab should have been like a mosquito bite to Gamabunta. But the moment the blade pierced his body, Gamabunta's mountain-like body trembled violently, and a pitiful croaking came from his flat, large mouth, deafeningly loud.

Countless spiderweb-like blood lines suddenly appeared beneath its skin, with eerie crimson lightning flickering within them.

Immediately afterwards, its massive body exploded with a dull thud, as if a mountain had been blown apart from within.

In an instant, it disintegrated and collapsed!

First, the bumps on the skin burst open one by one, spurting out foul-smelling blood plasma. Then, the flesh and tissue collapsed and peeled off, and finally, even the internal organs exploded, causing a rain of blood.

In just a few breaths, the once majestic Gamabunta was reduced to nothing but a ghastly skeleton.

The flickering crimson lightning still coursed through the skeleton, emitting a chilling crackling sound.

Blood and flesh rained down on the ground, turning the surrounding area within a hundred meters into a crimson red.

Gamabunta's skull remained in a position of looking up and screaming in agony, with an unbelievable despair seemingly frozen in his empty eye sockets.

The effect of this attack was not solely due to the Blade Master.

The destructive power of the Blade Master only brought Gamabunta to the brink of death; what truly caused his physical body to collapse was the effect of the Keystone Rune 'Explosion'.

The next attack on a target with less than 25% health will cause an explosive effect that ignores defense and can directly destroy its physical body.

Crimson lightning surged wildly within his body, breaking through four defenses in an instant.

This bizarre and terrifying scene plunged the entire Mount Myoboku into a deathly silence.

All the toads froze in place, their round, bulging eyes wide open to the limit, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

Cold, sticky fluid seeped from their rough skin, and some even lost control of their bladders, the foul-smelling liquid dripping down their thighs.

Qin Ye held the blood-soaked Naruto in his left hand and the Thousand Blades wreathed in crimson arcs in his right.

He stood atop Wen Taibai's ghastly skull, his black robes billowing in the stench of the wind, overlooking the entire land of immortals like the Grim Reaper descending upon the land.

A heavy sense of oppression enveloped the area, creating a very somber atmosphere.

Seeing that Qin Ye had intimidated the group of toads, Deidara, high in the sky, burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~ Big toads, you didn't expect this, did you? Being big isn't always an advantage. Night, stop posing and let's go."

Just as Qin Ye was about to throw Thousand Blades, Naruto, who was on the verge of death in his left hand, suddenly showed a strange movement, and crimson tailed beast chakra gushed out like magma.

A violent struggle and a burning sensation came from his hand, and Qin Ye could not hold on to it. He could only let it slip from his hand and fall to the ground.

After Naruto crashed to the ground, the tailed beast chakra on his body became even more concentrated, enveloping him like a blood-red cocoon, completely obscuring his body.

A deafening roar emanated from the blood cocoon; the sound was unlike Naruto's, but rather a beastly howl.

Suddenly, bang—

The blood cocoon burst open, revealing a dark red beast with surging, scorching chakra flowing across its skin, as if it were about to erupt at any moment.

It resembles a fox, with a white exoskeleton covering its body and seven tails swaying behind it.

It was Naruto in his half-tailed beast form.

At this moment, Naruto's severed limbs have been replaced by limbs formed from the Tailed Beast transformation. He lies on the ground with his limbs on the ground and his claws digging deep into the ground.

The head, encased in a stark white exoskeleton, slowly rose, its bright white, empty pupils fixed on the figure above. Those pupils, which should have been azure, now held only the most primal desire for slaughter.

Naruto is not a perfect Jinchuriki, so he completely loses his rationality after transforming into a Tailed Beast.

But his instincts compelled him to tear that figure to shreds.

"Roar--!"

The deafening roar materialized into a sonic wave, with visible red ripples sweeping across the area.

Qin Ye's robes fluttered loudly from the sound waves, and the huge toad skeleton beneath his feet disintegrated in the sound waves.

His figure flashed by amidst the scattered skeletons.

When it reappeared, it was already beside Naruto. It instantly activated its Flame Soul state and unleashed a powerful slash with dark purple flames.

Naruto, in his half-tailed beast form, swung his arm, his chakra surging wildly. His fist, originally the size of a normal person, instantly grew several times larger, and he slammed it out with his exoskeleton.

boom! ! !
The moment the blade and claw collided, the ground within a ten-meter radius collapsed with a deafening roar. Dark purple flames and scarlet chakra intertwined to create a destructive storm, instantly vaporizing the surrounding rocks.

In this clash, neither the man nor the beast retreated an inch, though the ground beneath their feet sank a bit deeper.

Crack—The Thousand Blades shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered and flew everywhere.

With a slight thought, Qin Ye manipulated the shattered blade to strike Naruto, who was in his half-tailed beast form.

At the same time, after dodging the attacking claw, his left hand, with its five fingers like hooks, precisely gripped the indentation of Naruto's exoskeleton skull, and then his right fist, with its purple flames surging, slammed down fiercely!

The punch was incredibly powerful, not only knocking the half-tailed beast Naruto to the ground, but also shattering the exoskeleton on his face.

After so much killing, Qin Ye's life force has increased dramatically.

In his Flame Soul form, he could easily take on Naruto with his seven tails.

Naruto, in his half-tailed beast form, was somewhat stunned by the punch. He shook his cracked head as dark red chakra rapidly repaired the damage.

But just as it was trying to get up by bracing itself on its forelimbs, a series of gleaming blades shot down and pierced its body.

The sounds of puffing and spitting rang out one after another.

Naruto, now in his half-tailed beast form, let out a shrill roar, but the tailed beast chakra within him only intensified.

The shattered blade entering his body only caused him great pain, but it couldn't cause him any real harm.

Qin Ye stepped on Naruto's back, his iron fists falling like meteors, each strike accompanied by a deafening explosion.

A fist wreathed in purple flames slammed into Naruto, who was half-tailed beast form, sending exoskeleton fragments mixed with boiling chakra flying everywhere.

The ground continued to collapse under the continuous bombardment, forming a crater with a diameter of more than 30 meters.

boom! boom! boom!
Wherever the fist struck, the air was compressed, creating visible ripples.

Naruto, in his half-tailed beast form, let out a painful howl, his dark red chakra surging violently like that of a wounded beast.

Surprisingly, as the number of times he was hit increased, the dissipated chakra not only did not weaken, but began to undergo a strange qualitative change.

First, the cracking sound of bones growing was incessant, and Naruto's body, in his half-tailed beast form, expanded at an abnormal speed.

The originally illusory chakra cloak gradually solidified, and the dark red energy transformed into real flesh and blood.

The muscle fibers, which were not covered by skin, were clearly visible and writhed violently with each breath, making it look like a giant fox that had been skinned alive.

Eight giant tails suddenly burst forth from his body, each wreathed in a boiling stream of chakra.

These tails lashed the ground wildly, each swing triggering a small earthquake.

Even more terrifying is that this form is still evolving, with orange-red fur growing out of the flesh at a visible speed, covering the entire body in the blink of an eye.

The moment the ninth tail burst forth from the body.

The entire Mount Myoboku trembled!
