Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

After carefully sensing the changes in his body, Chiba secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling delighted by the transformation.

"With such a massive amount of chakra, as long as the Hashirama cells are successfully transplanted, I should be able to use large-scale Wood Release techniques!"

That's right, Chiba is no longer satisfied with the Senju Tobirama template of Sea Release + Mutual Explosion Tags + Flying Thunder God; he wants to become Senju Hashirama!

"It seems I'll need to strengthen Orochimaru's abilities when I get back," Chiba thought to himself.

There are 24 hours in a day, how can you only work 20 hours? Those damn authors... ugh, even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to rest like that!

"Thank you, Xiangling!"

Chiba was in a great mood. He picked up Xiangling and gave her a big kiss on the forehead.

"Thank me, why are you thanking me? Hurry up and treat me, don't stop!"

Xiangling's head was spinning; it was obvious that the treatment hadn't reached her stomach yet.

After all, it is the Uzumaki bloodline, and its demand for chakra is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people, requiring Chiba to do his best to save it.

……

Half an hour later.

Chiba flew with Karin all the way and finally saw Shikaku and his group who had escaped from Kusagakure.

Strangely, despite appearing to be traveling at full speed, Shikaku and the others had not yet left the borders of the Land of Grass.

Swish!

Chiba first threw out a shikigami that landed in front of Shikaku and the others. After Shikaku and the others noticed him, he put away the shikigami and fell to the ground.

"Chiba, we're so glad you're alright. We were just worried about you."

Upon seeing Chiba, everyone's tense expressions instantly eased, and Akimichi Choza even warmly approached to check if Chiba was injured.

"Seniors, how come you only just arrived here? Did you encounter any problems on the way?" Chiba asked.

"Yes, we just encountered several Iwagakure squads, and it took us some effort to take them down," Akimichi Choza nodded.

"It must be the Iwa ninja who contacted Kusagakure earlier. After noticing the changes in Kusagakure, they came straight here."

Shikaku glanced at Kaoru, then looked at Chiba with a serious expression and said his guess: "I'm worried that there are far more enemies than this. Let's hurry on our way."

"it is good!"

Chiba naturally had no objections, carrying the exhausted Kaoru on his back, and followed Shikaku and the others.

"If I didn't have to be a little more discreet, I could have taken a few people and teleported back to Fallen Leaf Slope. I still have the Flying Thunder God Technique formula I left behind there."

It doesn't matter, as long as Onoki and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, don't come in person, Chiba can protect Shikaku and the other two.

……

Galloping all the way.

Just as they were about to leave the border of the Land of Grass, Yamanaka Inoichi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he told everyone what he had seen while controlling the flying bird.

"There are twenty or thirty Iwa ninja blocking our way. The leader is Onoki's son, Iron Fist Yellow Earth, and half of his entourage are members of the Iwagakure Explosion Team!"

"what?!"

Nara Shikaku's face was grim. He hadn't expected the enemy to arrive in front of them, or perhaps the Iwagakure forces had contacted the Iwagakure elites who were wreaking havoc throughout the Land of Fire.

In short, the situation is not optimistic. Most of the team members have suffered serious injuries, and at most, no more than ten people are capable of fighting. Facing the elite of Iwagakure, they are likely to be in serious trouble...

"Earth Release·Shantu Technique!"

Just as everyone was waiting for Shikaku to make a decision, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled.

To everyone's astonishment, two hemispherical giant rocks, each a hundred meters high, rose up with a deafening roar and rapidly closed in on them.

Clearly, the Iwagakure side also had sensory ninjas who had detected Chiba and the others' presence and launched a preemptive attack.

"Lord Shikaku, what should we do now?!"

A female ninja panicked, but the giant rock closed in so quickly that they would probably be crushed into mincemeat before they could even get out.

"Chiba, can you...?"

"Yes! Quicksand waterfall!"

Before Shikaku could finish speaking, Chiba clapped his hands together, and a violent wave of sand erupted from the ground like a volcanic eruption, transforming into thick, yellow sand arms that held the two giant rocks together.

"Run! I can't hold on much longer!"

Chiba let out a low shout. After all, the opponent was twenty or thirty elite Iwagakure soldiers. Even he could not withstand their attack with a single ninjutsu.

boom!

The yellow sand arm was quickly crushed by the boulder and turned into fine sand that flowed to the ground once again.

The two giant rocks closed together with unstoppable force, crushing a Konoha ninja who hadn't had time to escape into a two-dimensional shape.

"Meiyan, Heyuan, Kirito... you stay behind with me to cover our retreat! The rest of you, take the detour back to Konoha from the west. Our reinforcements should arrive soon!"

Nara Shikaku selected seven or eight men to stay behind and ordered the rest to evacuate. Running away was out of the question; only by facing the enemy head-on could they have a chance of survival.

"With Chiba in our team, we certainly have a fighting chance!"

Nara Shikaku took a deep breath and thought to himself.

"Xiangling, you should leave with them first. Don't worry about me, I'll catch up with you soon."

Chiba patted Xiangling's bottom, then created a clone to pick up the reluctant Xiangling and followed the Konoha ninja who had retreated earlier.

tread!tread!tread!

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Chiba and the others, six Iwagakure squads appeared one after another from the front, slowly approaching the group.

The leader was a burly man who was over two meters tall, with arms as thick as an average person's thigh. He was staring intently at Chiba and the others.

Loess

“…So it’s you!”

When he saw Chiba, Huang Tu was instantly enraged. He would recognize the murderer who killed his cousin, Kugo, even if he were reduced to ashes!

Huang Tu grew up with Kugo and trained together. When he learned of Kugo's sacrifice, he was even angrier than his father, Onoki.

Unfortunately, he held an important position at the time and could not get away to avenge his cousin.

Now that the murderer who killed his cousin has brazenly appeared before him, he naturally cannot let the other party go!

"Chiba, I never expected to run into you here. Do you remember my deceased cousin?"

Huang Tu pounded his fist against his palm repeatedly, and said in a cold voice, "You wait. Before I send you to see my cousin, I will let you taste what it feels like to see your comrade die in front of you."

"Ha, what utterly arrogant words!"

Chiba turned around and glanced at Shikaku and the others. After seeing that they were all ready for battle, he looked at the yellow earth path again.

"Since you miss your cousin so much, why don't I send you down to reunite with him? I'll start by collecting interest on the debt that Onoki owes me from your son."

"Super Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

The Iwagakure faction had the numerical advantage and were relentlessly closing in. Upon seeing this, Chiba immediately unleashed a parting gift.

Swish!

Chiba quickly condensed a spiral shuriken and hurled it at the Iwagakure ninjas. The terrifying energy contained within it made the Iwagakure ninjas secretly tremble.

"Earth Escape·Multiple Earth Current Walls!"

Faced with this incredibly powerful attack, both Iwagakure squads simultaneously bent down and slammed their hands into the ground, causing towering earthen walls, each four or five meters thick, to rise up and block the Iwagakure ninja's path.

boom!

The Spiral Shuriken exploded upon encountering an obstacle, transforming into a fierce storm that swept up and shattered two or three earthen walls in the blink of an eye. However, new earthen walls quickly rose up, blocking the storm's path.

Taking advantage of the brief moment the storm was blocked, the Iwa ninja behind had already retreated to a safe distance.

Unfortunately, while the Super Wind Sword is powerful, its damage range is a major drawback, making it less effective than the Super Planetary Devastation.

However, the moment he released the Super Wind Sword, Chiba's figure disappeared from his spot. Since he had fewer people on his side, offense was the best defense.

"The Dance of Shikigami: Paper Rain!"

Chiba spread his wings and suddenly appeared above the group of Iwa ninja, showering the Iwa ninja on the ground with countless paper shards.

"Clay fell from the sky!"

Huang Tu and the three Iwa ninja beside him reacted quickly, as if they had studied Chiba's fighting style. The moment Chiba used Paper Rain, they used the same ninjutsu without hesitation.

Wow!

A huge hole suddenly appeared above Chiba, enveloping his figure.

Large amounts of sticky soil fell from the sky, landing on the ground at an even faster speed, hitting Chiba and the flying paper scraps.

Once the paper was covered with clay, it instantly lost its lethality and turned into ordinary paper.

As Chiba moved away from the clay's coverage, the paper wings on his back became covered in clay, and he swayed precariously.

"Attack together! Once we take care of this guy, the rest are nothing to fear!"

Huang Tu shouted, and several members of the demolition team immediately followed in his footsteps, rushing together towards Chiba, who was about to fall.

The Konoha ninjas were blocked by the storm and couldn't get over for a while.

Chiba has shot himself in the foot, and is now in a state of isolation and helplessness. Now is the best time to get rid of him!

Chapter 104 Grandma Li knocks on the door, pressing down on the loess soil.

"Lava Release - Chakra Mode!"

When Chiba was instantly countered by Huang Tu and the others, he was indeed momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and waited for the Iwa ninja to approach.

"No, get out of the way!"

One of the Iwa ninja sensed something was wrong and shouted angrily, but it was too late.

Swish!

A layer of scorching lava armor appeared on Chiba's body, and the incoming clay melted away like spring snow. Chiba, like a burning meteor, crashed down among the group of Iwa ninja.

"Magma Fruit - Great Eruption!"
