Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 32 The Gift of Parting

"roar!!!!!"

With a deafening roar, orange-red chakra suddenly erupted!

Under the horrified gazes of the Grass Ninja, the chakra radiating a terrifying and oppressive aura rapidly condensed, eventually transforming into a gigantic demon fox tens of meters tall, roaring ferociously!

Under the moonlight, Kurama roared to the sky, looking up at Naruto above him: "Who are you calling a monster, you brat!"

"Haha, don't worry about the details..."

Naruto crouched down and patted the orange-red fur, finding it surprisingly soft to the touch.

"Hmm..."

Upon seeing that terrifying figure that blotted out the sky, a ninja collapsed to his knees, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth due to extreme fear.

"I'm...I'm doomed..."

"Is this a tailed beast?"

The onlookers trembled involuntarily. The sense of threat looming over them grew heavier, and just facing that chakra made them feel an uncontrollable urge to flee.

"Cough cough..."

Wuwei, who had just been kicked away by Naruto, coughed up blood and stood up while leaning against a tree trunk.

"So this is the Tailed Beast? The true strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages..."

"Completely outmatched..."

The ninja beside him said in a trembling voice, "Just a Jinchuriki is already overwhelming, let alone a Tailed Beast... Why would someone like that be here?!"

"Poor guy..."

Naruto scoffed, took two steps forward, sat down in front of Kurama's forehead, and leisurely crossed his legs: "It was your Kusagakure who coveted my bloodline first, and then you kidnapped me here, even if it's just a wood clone..."

"I didn't originally intend to argue with you, but by some twist of fate, I discovered the clansmen being abused by your Kusanagi ninja..."

"...Our people?"

Wuwei recalled the location where Naruto had just appeared, and his heart skipped a beat: "You are...?"

"Uzumaki...Naruto."

The boy's voice, imbued with chakra, echoed through the night sky, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

"swirl…"

Wuwei felt heavy-hearted; he had naturally heard about the mother and daughter in the village.

I remember that woman's name was Kanako. No matter if you were injured or your chakra was depleted, you could recover quickly just by biting her.

Therefore, the woman could often be seen not only in hospitals, but also in some group training sessions.

Although he didn't need to use his strength and talent, almost everyone in the village had bitten him...

"Did you kill the village elders?"

Wuwei was in a heavy mood, asking questions with the answers already in mind.

However, he has no choice but to stall for time. If he can delay a little longer, things might take a turn for the better.

Naruto's lips curled slightly: "Is there a problem?"

Wuwei sighed, sensing that the other party had seen through his thoughts: "This was our fault, but the mastermind is already..."

"Eliminate evil completely."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto retorted bluntly, "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."

"Just like this time, if I weren't strong enough, I would probably be imprisoned in this small space like my people, receiving your feeding every day, and then... passing on this bloodline?"

As Naruto spoke, he smacked his lips, then suddenly tilted his head, as if something was amiss.

Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled, "Isn't that the life you wanted?"

"It seems so..."

Naruto laughed heartily: "Of course, the meaning is definitely different."

Just as he was speaking, several more groups of ninjas arrived from all directions of the village.

Kagura scanned the area with her Mind's Eye and counted about three or four thousand people in front of her, but the vast majority of them were chuunibyou or genin, which was the entire fighting force of the Grass Village.

This also allowed Naruto to truly understand the difference between major and minor ninja villages.

Besides the power of the tailed beasts, population, bloodline, heritage, and cultivation are all important factors affecting the combat strength of both sides.

Judging from the difference in ninja quality, even without the Nine-Tails, Konoha could still easily crush the Grass Ninja.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Seeing wave after wave of reinforcements arriving at the battlefield, the surrounding ninjas finally regained some morale, and some of the bolder ones even started shouting.

"Damn brat! You'll pay for your arrogance!"

"That's right! We stand tall between great powers, small in stature, yet we have never yielded! Even Iwagakure cannot truly defeat us!"

"Of course... With Kusagakure gone, who will act as a buffer zone between the great powers? Where will the war be fought?"

Hearing the shouts from below, Naruto couldn't help but scoff: "Never surrendered, invincible? As expected, as long as you're weak enough, no matter what boasts you make, they'll seem rather cute..."

"What did you say?!"

"Don't get too cocky, you beast!"

After Naruto finished speaking, the Grass Ninja, who had just been arrogant, turned red on the spot and started cursing at Naruto.

Nine-Tails twitched its ears, looking impatient: "Are you done talking? Are you still going to fight?"

"Wait a minute, let me see..."

Naruto sensed that most of the village's ninjas had already arrived nearby, so he raised his hand to form hand seals.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

Kaka-

Four wooden clones emerged from Naruto's body, and without waiting for Naruto's command, they each instantly teleported in four different directions.

Naruto glanced in the direction of Wuwei and, seeing the despair on the other's face, couldn't help but chuckle.

You're stalling for time, but so am I.

"This is a tactic only someone with my chakra reserves can use—closing the door to beat the dog!"

As Naruto spoke, he brought his fox tail together and raised both hands: "Come and lend me a hand, Kurama."

"oh!!!"

Behind the Nine-Tails, the fox tail swept out suddenly, sending the surrounding grass ninja flying.

In front of Naruto, a super-large Tailed Beast Ball rapidly condensed, and with the help of Kurama, its size instantly reached more than half the size of Kurama's body!

At the same time, four red beams of light rose from four directions, forming a crimson barrier.

"A barrier?!"

"Is this guy trying to take us all down with him? Bastard!"

"A madman! This madman!"

Upon seeing the barrier rise, the surrounding Grass Ninjas immediately panicked.

"Don't panic!"

Wuwei roared, "Interrupt him before he finishes!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of grass ninjas rushed towards the Nine-Tails, only to be whipped away by its frenzied fox tail!

However, in the brief moment the fox tail swayed, a figure suddenly leaped high into the air, raising a hand to strike the Nine-Tails' back: "Fire Release! Great Fire Prison! Die, you beast!"

Upon hearing the man's angry shout, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the surrounding grass ninja.

The Great Fire Prison is arguably the strongest imprisonment technique in Kusagakure, and it is said to be able to even imprison tailed beasts!

Just when everyone was filled with hope, several chakra chains suddenly shot into the sky, instantly turning the man into a sieve...

"Imprisonment spell? Ha..."

The chains rattled behind him, flinging the man's body far away.

Naruto smiled broadly, and the enormous Tailed Beast Ball in front of him, which was twice the size of the Nine-Tails, was fully formed.

"Hey, since this is my first visit, please don't say I came empty-handed. Please accept this parting gift!"

As they spoke, the figures of the man and the fox suddenly vanished from sight.

Only the Tailed Beast Ball remained in place...
