Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 56 You think you can kill me? (Seeking monthly votes!!)

"What is that?"

Suigetsu Hozuki's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the thorns behind Nagato.

He also keenly noticed that Samehada in his hand, whose body was wrapped up, actually shrank slightly.

It's like a predator that was resting in the jungle suddenly feeling threatened by its own kind.

But before Suigetsu Hozuki could figure out Samehada's abnormality, the red-haired boy in front of him let out an inhuman roar:

"Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Thorns!"

In an instant, four thorns, like blades, burst forth from Nagato's body, creating a bloody afterimage as they pierced towards Suigetsu Hozuki with a sharp shriek.

Seeing this, Suigetsu Hozuki's heart skipped a beat. He swung his massive, man-length sword, Samehada, creating a chaotic and disordered gust of air...

Bang! !

Thorns pierced through the white cloth covering the knife, which had been untied in mid-air, like sharp spears, and the cloth instantly disintegrated and was cut into pieces.

Meanwhile, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon that had been standing there had disappeared. In Nagato's perception, the tall figure had actually fled towards the top floor without hesitation.

He didn't care about the rule of "desertion and betrayal are equally serious crimes" at all, unlike when he first threatened his subordinates and comrades.

"Coward!!"

Seeing this, Nagato's ferocity deepened, and several prominent veins and blood vessels bulged out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four thorns, each as thick as an arm, suddenly contracted and shot towards his head.

Bang! !

The ceiling above was instantly shattered, and the debris collapsed like an avalanche, leaving only a cone-shaped oval cavity.

Nagato, with his slightly taller and thinner figure, leaped into the air, his feet touching the ground, creating a sharp whistling sound as he flew through the air.

After a brief period of darkness, starlight and air currents surged into the night sky.

At the same time, there was also the booming sound of the great sword Samehada in the air.

"You brat! You're asking for it!"

Seeing the figure leap out from beneath his feet, a sinister glint flashed in Suigetsu Hozuki's eyes. He swung Samehada with tremendous force, aiming it at Nagato's head. The deep blue Samehada was already covered with barbs.

"Samehada: Annihilation Slash!"

The falling pebbles were crushed by the strong wind in the blink of an eye; the terrifying force was enough to turn a person into mincemeat.

But at the very moment he brought down his sword, Nagato seemed to have anticipated it.

A thorn bush suddenly appeared in front of him, colliding with the knife with a deafening crash!

boom!!

"Have you caught up?"

Suigetsu Hobutsuki's pupils narrowed, and his right hand, gripping the hilt of the sword, suddenly exerted force.

In an instant, the hilt of the greatsword began to extend, following the arc drawn out by the left hand, and slashed at Nagato from the side like a chain!

Samehada: Flying Chain Slash!

A completely unpredictable and extremely insidious attack.

But another thorn thorn pulled back with incredible speed, forcefully blocking his sneak attack amidst a roar!

"it's useless!"

Suigetsu Hozuki unleashed his power with abandon, coldly scoffing at Nagato, who was sheltered amidst the thorns, "No matter what kind of ninjutsu it is, it means nothing to me!"

As it spoke, the head of the Samehada blade parted slightly, revealing sharp teeth and a tongue, like a giant piranha ready to devour its prey.

"Crackling sounds!!" Samehada's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, making strange noises.

Suigetsu Hobutaki brandished his large sword, about to use Samehada to devour the thorns, just as he had done before, absorbing chakra.

But the next moment, Samehada stuck out its large tongue, and its powerless appearance stunned Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

"I am a ghost, an evil ghost!"

Nagato stepped out of the hollow, her feet treading on the thorns.

Staring intently at Suigetsu Hozuki, he extended his left hand forward in a flailing motion, a grin revealing two sharp teeth: "What I use is not ninjutsu, but the power derived from 'blood'."

"Blood Demon Art!"

The thorns protecting him gradually straightened, and the immense force made the face of the Water Spinach Fugu Demon contort in a ferocious expression, but Samehada was still being pushed out little by little.

"Damn it!" An uncontrollable roar escaped his throat. "Blood Demon Art? What is that?!"

It's important to know that the primary condition for becoming Samehada's master is to possess a chakra level far exceeding that of ordinary people in order to gain Samehada's approval. Otherwise, forcibly using it will result in Samehada rejecting and harming you.

He, Suigetsu Hozuki, was a recognized ninja. He possessed immense brute strength, easily wielding Samehada with one hand, and had a chakra level that surpassed most ninjas.

But now, he's being suppressed in terms of power by a brat, and even Samehada can't absorb his chakra!

An uncontrollable anger and horror seemed to swell in the chest of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, causing a cold glint to flash in his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly exerted his strength, using the force of the thorns to fly backward and create distance.

"Ninpo!"

Forcibly suppressing the metallic taste rising in his throat, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon suddenly bent forward, like a hard bamboo shoot rebounding from its limit, rapidly forming hand seals in mid-air and roaring, "Thousand Needles!"

Swish swish! !

Her long orange hair cascaded down her back, instantly hardening into sharp needles, a deadly intent hidden within countless glints of cold light.

Suigetsu Hozuki almost completely drained his chakra, and the senbon needles shot towards Nagato like a torrential rain!

There is no way to avoid it.

"Then I won't avoid it."

As the chilling voice fell, four thorns stretched out from behind Nagato and danced wildly in front of him.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The thorns lashed out like whips, bursting forth with terrifying speed.

It has a whip-like effect, creating rings in the air that spread out at different angles.

The thorns deflected the thousands of books that were shot at them, and within seconds, hundreds of collisions occurred, creating a dense sonic boom no less than a thunderclap!

But at that moment, the sharp, piercing voice of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon came.

"Ninja Art!" He crouched somewhat awkwardly in the distance, staring intently in Nagato's direction. Samehada's chakra surged into his body, his long orange hair piercing the ground as he roared fiercely, "Thousand Needles!!"

In an instant, the ground beneath Nagato's feet bulged up, then suddenly collapsed after reaching its limit.

boom!!

Countless orange, sharp spears, along with clods of earth and gravel, shot into the sky!

A series of splattering sounds as flesh was pierced were heard, and several sprays of blood bloomed from Nagato's body!

"Ha! Kid! Die!"

The blood-red hue shone crimson in the moonlight, and the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon grinned maliciously.

But the next moment, his smile suddenly froze on his face.

Nagato's spine, hands, feet, abdomen, and chest were all pierced, as if he were a cult follower who had been subjected to extreme torture and nailed to a cross.

But the scarlet flowers forged from thorns bloomed again behind him.

"You think...?"

Nagato slowly lowered his head, looking down at the terrified Suigetsu Hozuki, a grin spreading across his face: "You think you can kill me?"
