Chapter 122 The Strongest Summoning Technique: Saiyan Hawking (Second Update)

"Naruto, hold on! Don't let the Nine-Tails' chakra devour you!"

While dodging Kakuzu's attacks, Kakashi shouted at Naruto, whose body was beginning to radiate Nine-Tails chakra.

When they spotted Hidan and Kakuzu wearing red cloud coats outside the town's exchange shop, they didn't attack immediately. Instead, they launched a sneak attack while Kakuzu entered the exchange shop and Hidan waited alone outside.

The original plan was to take down Hidan in a five-on-one fight, and then take down Miyako in a five-on-one fight.

Unexpectedly, this Akatsuki member named Hidan possessed an unheard-of immortality. His Lightning Blade pierced through Hidan's heart, yet Hidan was unharmed.

He could also taunt him while swinging his scythe to attack him, but luckily he used a shadow clone to test him and was not injured.

Later, when the five of them ganged up on Hidan, they repeatedly used ninjutsu and taijutsu to hit his vital points, but they still couldn't kill him.

Hidan, relying on his immortality, wielded a scythe and used physical techniques, his fighting style being relentlessly aggressive and relentless, making him difficult for them to defeat for a time.

However, this is nothing. As for an immortal being, with a little more time, it can be sealed with sealing techniques after being captured and then brought back to Konoha for further study.

Unfortunately, their commotion alerted Kakuzu, who promptly came out to help Hidan defeat them.

This Kakuzu is even more extraordinary, unlike a normal ninja. He is like a monster who can extend countless tentacles, and his body and limbs can be freely separated by the tentacles. He is extremely strong in taijutsu.

At the same time, they can use five chakra natures, each of which is no less than that of an elite Jonin. They can also fuse two chakra transformations to unleash incredibly powerful ninjutsu.

And like Hidan, he is not easy to kill.

They finally managed to defeat Kakuzu once with great difficulty, but they only managed to shatter one of his earth-elemental hearts. Kakuzu still had four such hearts.

The price was that his chakra was almost depleted, and Yamato was also hit by Hidan's self-destructive evil god ritual, which injured his vital organs. Only Sakura's superb medical ninjutsu and the summoning beast slug were able to keep him alive.

Now, he and Sai are doing their best to hold off Kakuzu, Sakura is rescuing Yamato, and Naruto is dealing with Hidan alone.

Naruto, who had not yet mastered the Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken, was no match for the immortal Hidan. When he was exhausted, without the suppression of Yamato's Wood Release, the Nine-Tails' chakra within him began to cause trouble again.

"Konoha ninja, you'd better worry about yourselves first!"

Kakuzu used his tentacles to grab Kakashi's body, while simultaneously combining his Earth Grudge Fear: Fire Release Masked Monster and Earth Grudge Fear: Wind Release Masked Monster to unleash a powerful and wide-ranging composite ninjutsu:

"Firestorm and Chaotic Waves!"

His other two forms, Earth Grudge Fear: Lightning Release Masked Monster and Earth Grudge Fear: Water Release Masked Monster, were chasing Sai and constantly launching ninjutsu attacks.

Kakuzu, a ninja from the same era as the First Hokage, is rich in combat experience. His taijutsu, combined with the secret technique Earth Grudge Fear, is no less than that of ordinary taijutsu ninjas.

Each of the five masks possesses ninjutsu skills equivalent to a Jonin, and when combined, they can surpass even a Jonin.

With the added advantage of having five lives, even if Kakashi and Sai team up, they would still be at a disadvantage and probably wouldn't last long.

"Hidan, hurry up and finish off the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, don't waste any more time."

"I see. I didn't expect a Jinchuriki to deliver themselves to my doorstep. May I offer you up to the great evil god!"

Hidan charged at Naruto, wielding his scythe.

He only needs to obtain a drop of blood from the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to initiate the ritual, dealing with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki just like he dealt with the Wood Release ninja. After defeating him, he can take him back to the base and extract the Nine-Tails to complete the mission.

"Kid, what are you still hesitating for? Let me lend you my power. Only by using my power can you save your companions."

Are you really going to just stand by and watch them die before your eyes?

Within Naruto's mental space, the red Nine-Tails chakra, imbued with madness and destruction, seeped wildly from the Eight Trigrams Seal.

The Nine-Tails pressed its enormous fox head tightly against the sealing gate, using all its seductive words to bewitch Naruto.

If Naruto is willing to accept its chakra at this moment, it can use this to further break through the seal of the Eight Trigrams Seal. The more chakra Naruto uses, the bigger the cracks in the Eight Trigrams Seal will become.

If it's lucky, it might be able to get out of trouble this time.

So how could it not care now?

"Captain Yamato, Sakura, Kakashi-sensei, Sai, and me."

Enveloped in the seeping Nine-Tails chakra, Naruto knelt before the prison door sealed by the Eight Trigrams Seal. His mind was beginning to cloud, and the Eight Trigrams Seal pattern on his stomach was becoming faintly blurred.

It was clear that he was about to be successfully bewitched by the Nine-Tails and prepare to receive its chakra.

Suddenly, the Nine-Tails, whose eyes were glowing and whose red chakra had barely seeped out from within the Eight Trigrams Seal, vanished without a trace, and Naruto's will returned to normal.

"It's Stephen Hawking!"

Once Naruto regained his senses, his eyes lit up. He used the Afterimage Fist to dodge Hidan's scythe attack and jumped back to Sakura and Yamato's side.

"Naruto, that's great! You've suppressed the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Sakura, who was holding Yamato's life in the balance, felt a little less tense when she saw Naruto regain consciousness.

Kakashi-sensei said that if Naruto were to use the Nine-Tails' power again, it would likely allow the Nine-Tails to escape its seal completely, at which point Naruto would surely die.

"What do we do now? The other teams probably won't be here anytime soon."

Yamato's heart was pierced by Hidan's ritual steel pipe, and she was bound to die. Fortunately, her Wood Release technique has strong vitality, and with her and Slug's all-out treatment, and Naruto risking serious injury to destroy the ritual pattern, she was able to stay alive.

However, this also prevented her from helping Naruto in battle.

"The other teams probably won't be able to get here in time, but there's one person who can get here immediately. With his strength, even if he can't defeat these two, he should be able to delay them until the other teams arrive to provide support."

Naruto created several more shadow clones to block Hidan for a moment before replying.

"Who?"

Sakura's face showed a hint of confusion.

Aside from the other teams, the village doesn't seem to have said they'll send anyone else to help.

"Stephen Hawking!"

Naruto bit his thumb open, formed a hand seal, and pressed it to the ground:

"Ninja Art: Summoning Hawking!"

At Mount Myōboku, Stephen Hawking, who had just been summoned in reverse using the Naruto template, hadn't even had a chance to greet the toads when he sensed a series of ghostly howls coming from his mental space:

"No!!!

Why now? Couldn't we have waited a little longer?

I'm about to succeed! I'm about to succeed!

Stephen Hawking, I hate you!!!

"What's gotten into this fox now?"

Shaking his head, Hawking ignored the mentally unstable fox that had been imprisoned and, as usual, responded to Naruto's summoning and disappeared from Mount Myōboku.
