Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 404 Obito's clone appears

"Soul reincarnation... Why didn't the Sage of Six Paths take both of his sons' souls to the Pure Land?"

Li Yao frowned slightly. He had never been to the Pure Land, but with the Sage of Six Paths' abilities, he could easily have taken the souls of his two sons into the Pure Land.

As a result, the souls of Indra and Ashura continued to reincarnate in the ninja world.

However, none of the other ninja souls in the ninja world were able to reincarnate after entering the Pure Land.

Is it a conspiracy, or are the souls of Indra and Asura special?

Therefore, the Pure Land cannot prevent the two souls from being reincarnated.

Li Yao had no idea about these things.

However, Li Yao's wariness of the Sage of Six Paths increased even more.

Li Yao looked at Naruto, who quickly changed into a golden Nine-Tails chakra robe after shedding his Tailed Beast Mode chakra.

"I wonder if the Sage of Six Paths will intervene?"

With that thought, Li Yao instantly moved backward into the space behind him.

bump!

Boom!

Li Yao stood still, and a golden fist, carrying unparalleled power, slammed into the ground, causing it to shatter like a spider web, demonstrating the force of the punch.

"You dodged it!"

Naruto withdrew his fist and looked at Li Yao not far away, feeling a little regretful that his punch had missed.

His senses are very sharp now.

The Li Yao we just saw was not in the same state as when he fought against Teacher Kai. If he had been hit by that punch, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.

Unfortunately, the opponent reacted too quickly, and his unexpected punch was dodged.

But... I saw it!

Naruto's eyes were bright, and this time he saw Li Yao's movements clearly. Even if it was spatial teleportation, he could instantly detect the enemy's movement with his malicious perception, something he couldn't do before.

With his current physical reaction speed and the speed at which he can control the Nine-Tails' chakra, he has enough time to react in an instant to deal with many crises.

"Speed ​​and power have both improved, roughly to half the level of Might Guy with all eight gates open."

Li Yao looked at Naruto not far away. Taking advantage of his inability to move his body just now, Naruto had already completed Sage Mode.

The combination of Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak Mode provides Naruto with a significant boost.

Its speed and power alone are already half of Might Guy's normal state when all eight gates are open.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only half of Might Guy's normal power when he opens all eight gates; it doesn't include even his ultimate moves like Evening Elephant and Night Guy.

But this is already amazing. Compared to the Third Raikage whom Li Yao fought, Naruto in his dual-mode can completely overwhelm the Third Raikage in terms of speed and power when he activates Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

However, the Third Raikage's strength lies not in speed and power, but in his invincible defense and the powerful attack of his One-Hit Sumo technique.

Relying solely on speed and strength, Naruto could only gain the upper hand in his battle against the Third Raikage, but he couldn't break through the Third Raikage's defenses.

However, Naruto's ninjutsu attacks in dual mode are also very powerful.

Take, for example, the technique Naruto is using right now.

"Tailed Beast Ball - Rasengan Shuriken!"

In the outside world, it was only a moment, but inside the mental sealed space, Naruto, who had activated the Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak Mode, had already become familiar with his own power. Naturally, he was also familiar with the ability of the Rasengan to be formed into a Tailed Beast Ball.

Using the principles of Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball, its offensive power is undeniable and terrifying.

The Third Raikage would have no chance against this attack.

Let alone the Third Raikage, even if Li Yao wanted to withstand it with his body alone, he would need at least a million tons of imaginary mass to provide the defense through the imaginary density of his body in order to silently block it.

However, for Li Yao, who had already experienced the superb feeling brought by Night Guy, Naruto's attacks in dual mode no longer piqued his interest in experiencing them.

Faced with this attack, Li Yao's mind raced, and his figure instantly disappeared from the real space, arriving in the interlayer space.

Naruto's hand-crafted Tailed Beast Shuriken flew a hundred meters before exploding.

boom!

It was very powerful, leaving a crater a hundred meters deep in the ground.

"There!"

Before the explosion subsided, Naruto in dual mode suddenly rushed to a position twenty meters to his left and threw a punch.

"Hmm...didn't hit it?"

Naruto didn't expect to punch empty air. His whole body was propelled forward by the inertia, and he quickly turned around to look back.

There was definitely malice in the spot where the fist was aimed; it was definitely Li Yao. So why couldn't it hit him?

"Oh right, that guy went into that special space that Granny Tsunade mentioned."

Naruto quickly realized what was happening and immediately jumped back, moving away from Li Yao's position.

Granny Tsunade said that in that special space, one can see and perceive everything in the outside world, but cannot affect reality, and attacks in reality cannot affect the people in the special space.

Since the opponent was in a special space, and Naruto didn't have any space-time abilities, he could only keep an eye on Li Yao's malicious presence and not give Li Yao a chance to launch a sneak attack.

"Maliciousness perception, truly impressive!"

Li Yao was actually a little surprised that Naruto found his location in the mezzanine space.

He always thought that Naruto's ability to sense Madara's shadow clones in the interlayered space in the original work was more due to the Six Paths Yang Power bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths, rather than malicious perception.

It now seems that the sense of malice is even more powerful than Li Yao imagined, or perhaps Naruto's sense of malice is even more powerful, capable of penetrating the interlayered space to sense his malice.

However… Li Yao looked at Tsunade beside him and smiled slightly.

Naruto can only sense those who are hostile to him. He can't sense Tsunade, who is not hostile to him. Otherwise, his attack just now wouldn't have been so precise, covering Tsunade as well.

Therefore, it is clear that the perception of malice is only a special kind of passively triggered perception, not an active one, and Naruto's will cannot penetrate into the interlayer space like Might Guy.

Compared to Might Guy, Naruto is still too weak and doesn't interest Li Yao in fighting at all.

"Alright, time to change players!"

Li Yao carried Tsunade into the sky.

I've already experienced the intense battles.

I've seen Naruto's despair.

Tsunade has completely transformed into his shape.

His only goal in coming to this world was to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and master the Bloodline Limit.

Now it's time for Obito's clones to make their appearance.

hum!

A hundred meters in front of Naruto, space distorted, and Obito's clone emerged from it.

Naruto, who was looking up at the sky and wondering why Li Yao was flying into the sky and whether he was trying to escape, suddenly sensed a malicious intent and looked over.

"The masked man!"

Naruto was shocked. How could the masked man be here, and why did he seem to be with Li Yao?

But how is that possible?

Li Yao is not... Naruto suddenly thought of Centipede.

At that time, Baizu entered Loulan only a moment or two earlier than him, which was already many years ahead of him.

Li Yao knows the masked man who appeared twenty years ago, so can we say that Li Yao came to this world a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Naruto's face turned serious. One Li Yao was already difficult to deal with, and now there was another masked man who also possessed space-time ninjutsu... He had no choice but to go for it.

Naruto thought to himself, "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to face the challenge head-on."

Fortunately, he is satisfied with his current situation.

Even if you can't defeat your opponent, your opponent can't defeat you either.

This is Naruto's current confidence.
