Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 354 Five Petals

"Roar!! Humans, I will not let you get away with this!"

After a deafening roar, golden flames erupted from the mouth of the enormous dragon-headed lion-like beast, which then prepared to unleash them upon the golden fox before it.

But the dragon-headed lion suddenly noticed the lightning and thunder in the sky, and the lightning instantly gathered together, turning into a thunder beast in the shape of a Qilin, roaring to the sky in the dark clouds.

"This is bad."

The dragon-headed lion suddenly sensed something was wrong, its heart alarming. It immediately tried to dodge, but this was a lightning-style Kirin formed by the convergence of natural lightning under the guidance of lightning chakra.

How fast can a natural lightning strike be? Even if the Dragon-Headed Lion is a top-tier sixth-order magical beast, it would be difficult for it to dodge, especially since the Thunder Qilin had already struck the Dragon-Headed Lion by the time it noticed the lightning strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"roar"

After a violent thunderous roar, the dragon-headed lion let out a painful howl.

Seeing this from a distance, Uchiha Sasuke quickly called out, "Naruto!"

"I see!"

The golden chakra fox immediately opened its mouth, and a huge Tailed Beast Ball condensed inside. After the Lightning Release: Kirin landed, it shot directly towards the Dragon-Headed Lion.

boom!

The massive explosion sent shockwaves soaring into the sky, and the intense booming and tremors could be clearly felt even more than 100 kilometers away, making it difficult for ordinary people to stand.

After the shock and tremors from the explosion subsided, Naruto and Sasuke went to check on the situation.

The Dragon-Headed Lion was already dead, having suffered two severe blows in succession. Although its fur was very strong and it was protected by fighting spirit, the damage caused by the Lightning Release: Kirin and the Tailed Beast Ball that had been accumulating energy for a long time was still too great.

The dragon-headed lion was killed instantly in the explosion, but its body was not shattered by the Tailed Beast Ball; it was simply killed by the shockwave from the close-range explosion.

Sasuke Uchiha carefully examined the area with his Sharingan and tested it with several ninjutsu before closing his Sharingan and saying to Naruto, "It seems it's dead. I'll leave the rest to you."

"It's good that he's dead. What a headache. It's rare to run into someone you can talk to, but this guy has absolutely no intention of communicating."

Naruto Uzumaki also deactivated Kurama Sage Mode, scratched his head, and said, "If this monster can calm down, we might be able to learn more information."

"It's looking for its child, how can we give it to it? We can't communicate with it in this situation," Sasuke Uchiha said, looking around before turning to Naruto. "This should be where it appeared, but the surrounding area has been destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball. As for any treasures that might appear, let's try to find them."

"Oh right, and the treasure could have been obtained using the Spiral Shuriken!"

Naruto suddenly remembered, and then looked around at the environment where the Tailed Beast Ball had created deep craters, and felt that the treasure might have been destroyed.

Fortunately, the area is just a forest, and we can use Earth Release to restore it to flat ground in a while. Then we can transplant some trees.

After summoning Shikamaru Nara, Naruto Uzumaki entrusted the task of cleaning up the place to Shikamaru. He himself also needed to convene a Five Kage meeting to inform the other four Kage of the news that the sixth alien beast had been killed.

This strange beast happened to appear near an uninhabited forest in the Land of Fire. Because it made too much noise, it was discovered by the Konoha ninja. However, it could fly into the air and attack downwards.

Ordinary ninjas couldn't handle it at all. After the news reached the village, Naruto called Sasuke and they set off together.

Upon arriving here, the two discovered that the dragon-headed lion could speak human language. Naruto was overjoyed and wanted to communicate with it, but the dragon-headed lion had just given birth and was unable to communicate with its cub after being separated from it. In the end, the two people and the beast could only fight.

"Sasuke, I'm going back now. What about you?"

After the Five Kage Summit, Naruto planned to return to the village. He had a lot of things to deal with and would be busy again once he got back.

"I'll stay here for a while, to prevent that beast from having the ability to resurrect, and also..."

Seeing the fatigue on Naruto's face, Sasuke stared at him for a few seconds before continuing, "What you need to do now is conserve your energy. Otherwise, if even more powerful monsters or disasters appear, and you don't have the energy to deal with them, it will endanger the entire ninja world."

"Haha, you're worried about me, I know."

Upon hearing this, Naruto smiled contentedly at Sasuke Uchiha, who turned away without saying a word.

Then Naruto Uzumaki said to Sasuke Uchiha, "Sasuke, come back when you're done here. It seems like you haven't been home in a long time."

"Ah, I understand."

"You bastard, I'm not taking your medicine!"

Temari gasped, her eyes filled with anger and hatred as she looked at Uchiha Yoichi. She continued resentfully, "You've been hiding your strength; you definitely have bad intentions towards Konoha. I will definitely tell Shikamaru about this."

"I didn't hide my strength at all. It was just that you, Temari, were overconfident from the start. If an Onmyoji didn't have any ability to protect themselves, how could they have been the ruler of this planet a thousand years ago? How beautiful you are! The Temari in the TV series is just too beautiful~"

Uchiha Yoichi said with a smile, then took a glass of red wine and handed it to Temari.

Seeing Uchiha Yoichi's action, Temari was filled with anger again and immediately picked up her wine glass, intending to throw it at him; but just as she took the glass, she heard Uchiha Yoichi speak.

"Be careful, Lady Temari. If the red wine spills, the video might get leaked too. Beautiful Sand Princess, you must have many admirers."

Temari's face immediately turned very ugly; the thing she feared most had happened.

However, being a ninja who had survived war, she still possessed the resolve to face death. Temari coldly said to Uchiha Yoichi, "What do you want? If you intend to threaten me with this, I will rather die than let you succeed!"

"Don't say that, Lady Temari. Didn't you come to me first, intending to kill me? Now that you've been countered, you can only blame your own weakness."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he went to Temari's side, touched her lower abdomen, and engraved a five-petal-shaped rune on it.

Temari immediately snapped, "You bastard, stop right there!"

"Today doesn't count. From now on, one petal will be eliminated each time. Once all five petals are eliminated, the video and the agreement will be returned to you. How about that?"

Uchiha Yoichi interrupted Temari, then shrugged and said, "If you, Lady Temari, are unwilling, I'll have to run away. However, I can't guarantee what might be leaked on my way out, beautiful Sand Princess."

quack quack!

Temari clenched her fists angrily, glaring at Uchiha Yoichi without saying a word. Only angry panting filled the room.

"I agree!"

After a while, Temari gritted her teeth and agreed. However, after saying this, she glared at Uchiha Yoichi and continued, "If you dare to lie to me, I will not let you off even if I die and am utterly disgraced."

"Don't worry, Lady Temari, why would I want you dead? You're so beautiful, the most beautiful outcome is for you to continue to shine in the ninja world."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he picked up the medicine from the bed and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "Now you can take your medicine, right, Lady Temari?"

"snort!"

Temari snorted coldly, then took the medicine and swallowed it, followed by the red wine in her hand. She then prepared to get up and leave.

However, Uchiha Yoichi pressed Temari's hand down and asked, "What is Lady Temari planning to do?"

"Let me go, I want to go home."

--------------

After Nara Shikamaru brought the strange beast back to Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto said to him, "Shikamaru, the other four ninja villages want to send people to study it together. They'll arrive tomorrow, so you'll be in charge from now on."

"So rushed? Four more beasts are coming, and we won't have the capacity to properly handle their arrival."

Nara Shikamaru was surprised for a moment, then realized that the other four Kage probably thought about the treasures that the strange beasts would bring, but the battlefield had been searched by Konoha ninjas and nothing was found.

"Anyway, there are only five people in a ninja village, so let them come if they want. If they really come up with something, we can share it with each other."

After finishing his sentence, Naruto changed the subject, smiling as he asked, "Shikamaru, how's Temari? Has she forgiven you?"

"Yes, everything's alright now. You should stay home and do housework."

Thinking of Temari, Nara Shikamaru smiled and said, "Temari's temper has improved a lot; she doesn't throw tantrums so easily anymore."
