Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 241 I caught you
boom! !

The heavy kick slammed into the side of the demon's cheek!

The force of the force pulled the head of the demon to one side. It subconsciously released its grip on Hinata Yunchuan's ankle, lost its balance, and staggered backward to one side!

But soon, it suddenly turned its head and glared fiercely at Hinata Kumokawa.

"Humanity!!"

The repeated setbacks completely ignited the ferocity of the demon, which let out a roar at Hyuga Yunchuan that was not human, filled with resentment and violence.

It suddenly raised its hand, and countless ripples spread through the surrounding space once again, as if countless deadly purplish-black tentacles were about to burst out at any moment!

Those tentacles were also its former limbs. After it reconstructed its body with a 'virtual' structure, it stored them in another dimension!
That was its most powerful and familiar force outside of this body!
However, just as that spatial ripple was about to transform into a tangible attack...

Hinata Kumokawa slowly raised his hand, and the seemingly ordinary bell on his wrist swayed gently.

jingle!

An invisible yet profound fluctuation spread out along with the clear and ethereal sound of the bell.

The spatial ripples that were about to burst forth with tentacles were gently smoothed out and instantly vanished without a trace!
"what?!"

The demon froze abruptly, its eyes widening in disbelief, its voice hoarse with shock: "That's... the priestess's..."

Swish!
Before it could finish speaking, Hinata Kumokawa's figure reappeared in front of it like a ghost, so close that they were almost face to face!
He lowered his center of gravity, clenched his right fist, and stretched his arm muscles backward like a fully drawn bowstring, generating maximum power!

His breath was incredibly hot at that moment, and beneath his seemingly thin white clothes, his heart was pounding violently, and a surge of power was coursing through his veins!

Hinata Kumokawa's current state is based on the power of the shrine maiden, combined with the principles of "Sage Mode" and the "Still Blood Armor" and "Dynamic Blood Armor" from the "Bleach" world.

By infusing the spiritual energy within the 'Hogyoku' into the body, one can achieve a comprehensive enhancement of physical strength, defense, speed, healing abilities, and more.

He calls his current state "blood armor mode".

He's very strong in this state, but this is his first time trying it, and there are still some areas where he needs to work out.

and so……

"That's all you can do right now."

Hinata Kumokawa's voice was deep, yet filled with undeniable excitement: "It's about having a real, hand-to-hand fight with me, so I can get used to the current strength and speed of this body!"

The moment he finished speaking, his fist shot out like a cannonball!

The fighting instincts of the demon were also stimulated to the extreme. Almost at the same time, it let out a roar and threw a punch!

Their fists collided solidly in mid-air!
Boom! !
Unlike human violence, it is unleashed without reservation!

A visible white shockwave emanated from the two of them and exploded wildly outwards, sweeping out smoke and dust like a tsunami!

Click! ! !

With a sickeningly loud cracking sound, the demon's arm twisted at an eerie angle, and its body tumbled backward at an incredible speed!

The demon forcibly steadied itself, its feet carving two deep furrows in the ground before it could barely stop a short distance from the rock wall, thus dissipating most of its force!

The injured and twisted arm was restored to its original state with a flick of the wrist.

Hinata Kumokawa was also thrown backward several meters by the reaction force before landing steadily. His fist, which had clashed with the demon, was now torn and bleeding profusely.

But soon, the gruesome wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, the flesh wriggling and returning to its original state.

"Damn!!"

Seeing this, the demon's anger finally reached its peak. It slammed its fist into the rock wall behind it, smashing a deep crater into the rock wall, and rubble fell down in a flurry.

It can't go on like this!

Without further hesitation, the demon unfurled its pair of jet-black bat wings, and an even more powerful aura surged forth from its body!

Its body slowly floated into the air, stretching out in mid-air. Its body surface was quickly covered with a layer of pitch-black exoskeleton like an insect's shell, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying!
Its ten fingers also became longer and sharper, transforming into sharp claws that gleamed with a cold light!
"That's right."

Looking at the demon that had completely transformed into a monster in the distance, Hinata Kumokawa's eyes instead showed excitement.

"A monster should look like a monster!"

As he spoke, the veins around his eyes bulged, his body weight shifted slightly downward, and his right hand gripped the hilt of the ring-pommel sword at his waist in a backhand-drawing motion!
The next moment, Hinata Kumokawa's pure white wings suddenly flapped!
Boom!! His figure vanished from the spot in an instant, just like a spring that had been compressed to its limit suddenly bursting open and shooting out!

The sudden burst of terrifying speed even shattered the ground he had just been standing on, cracks spreading wildly like a spider web, and dust was suddenly whipped up by the violent gust of wind!
While bandaging and treating their injuries, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others kept a close eye on the two of them.

However, the moment Hyuga Unkawa's sword was drawn from its sheath, the cold light emanating from the sudden appearance of the blade slightly stung his eyes!

Almost simultaneously, the bat wings behind the demon flapped violently, transforming into a streak of black light, carrying a violent aura, and fiercely met the charging Hyuga Kumokawa!
As Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others involuntarily blinked, the two had already turned into two hazy afterimages in the air.

The wind whipped their hair back, making their white and black figures look like two lashing ribbons, making it hard to tell who was first or last, or who was faster or slower!
All that could be heard were two terrifying howls in the wind, and anything that stood in their way would be mercilessly torn to shreds!

The next moment, the dust and mist between the two were cut apart by a sharp, cold light!

The knife and the claws finally clashed.

Clang! !

The sharp, ear-piercing sound of metal clashing instantly reverberated throughout the underground space!

The sparks that burst forth were as brilliant as a silver bottle exploding, splashing between the two of them, bursting and flying in the dim moonlight!
The sonic boom and wind pressure combined to create an impact that swept across the entire space!

"Uh!"

The people around him covered their ears in great pain, and a clear buzzing sound could be heard in their ears. They felt their brains vibrating with the buzzing sound!
The ground beneath Hinata Kumokawa and Mouryou's feet was unable to withstand the downward force and instantly cracked and collapsed!

"Come!"

Hinata Kumokawa grinned, lightning surged from his body, and his entire body was enveloped in azure arcs of electricity.

Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage, who was supporting Darui in the distance, immediately narrowed his eyes.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!?

"Roar!!"

With a furious roar, the demon suddenly exerted its strength, its two claws, crossed in front of it and locked with the blade, forcefully slashed across the blade!
Zhila! !
A screeching sound rang out, and sparks rained down, hitting the ground!
The two figures suddenly separated, and then in the next second, they switched positions again at an even faster speed and collided violently!
It slashes and bites wildly, like a meat grinder running at full power. The blades and claws collide constantly, creating a sharp, chilling whistling sound!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Within the span of a breath, from the perspective of those around them, even though the moonlight overhead illuminated the scene clearly, even though they stared intently...

They couldn't see the two people's specific movements clearly, only two blurry streaks of light that kept changing positions in an instant, leaving them unable to intervene for a while.

All that could be seen was sparks raining down as the blades clashed with the claws!

My ears were filled with a dense, continuous, teeth-grinding metallic crackling and sharp, grating noises of friction between sharp edges!

The sharp airflow generated by the collision of the knife and claws, like an invisible blade, left countless deep, visible marks on the surrounding rock walls and ground, as if they were the ravages of a wild beast's claws!
However, as the battle between the two became faster and more intense...

The demon soon discovered that three deep wounds had appeared at the corner of its eye, on its neck, and on its chest...

The opponent's blade is gradually breaking through its defenses, as if it is being used as a whetstone, constantly being sharpened and adapted to this new power and speed!

"Strength that is no less than mine, and speed that is no less than mine!"

The fear in the demon's heart grew wildly like weeds: "This human..."

In the very instant that its mind was momentarily blanked due to fear!

Hinata Kumokawa, who had been briefly pushed back and distanced by it, suddenly raised his head!
He actually flung the sharp ring-pommel sword in his hand, and it shot straight at the face of the demon like a silver lightning bolt!

The demon's eyes changed, and in a moment of haste, it raised its exoskeleton-covered arm to block!

Clang!
The ring-pommel sword was violently flung away, but the force also caused the demon to stagger, revealing a huge opening in front of him.

"Got you!" Hinata Kumokawa's eyes flashed with the excited smile of a hunter seeing his prey fall into a trap!
His figure appeared in front of the demon, his arms swung out instantly, as if he had disappeared, leaving countless afterimages!

Bang bang bang! !

Countless heavy fists, like a storm, poured down on the demon's chest and face in an instant. Each punch contained the power of a soft fist, with extremely strong penetrating force!

Kaka! Click!
The hard, black exoskeleton on the body of the demon shattered under the intense bombardment, sending countless fragments flying everywhere!

Is this Soft Fist?

Is this the seemingly soft and weak Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan?!
Everyone watching held their breath, staring intently at this once-in-a-lifetime moment, imprinting this unbelievable battle in their minds.
