From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 454 Super Hybrid

Suddenly, Sasuke noticed that the air around him felt heavy, like a sticky substance.

The birds and beasts in the woods took flight in fright, gathering in large flocks and flying into the distance, as if some terrifying creature was lurking in this forest.

Even the dust and particles in the atmosphere seemed to tremble, conveying a chilling pressure.

Naruto Uzumaki, who had been sent flying, seemed to have suddenly become a different person. He stood up unsteadily, and the white breath he exhaled was as hot and scorching as boiling steam!

Then, under Sasuke's gaze, Naruto slowly raised his head.

Those golden pupils, like flowing molten lava, exuded a terrifying pressure and a tyrannical aura.

In a daze, Sasuke had a strange illusion, as if Naruto had turned into a giant dragon!

"Naruto, is that you?" She didn't know what had happened to Naruto, but his current state was clearly wrong: "What's wrong with you?"

"I?"

Naruto lowered his head, looking at his hands: "I'm fine, I feel great!"

The simple action of clenching a fist, with the five fingers tightly closed, causes air to rush out from between the fingers, producing a piercing screech.

The feeling of power surging through his body was more intoxicating than he had ever experienced!

However, this action only deepened Sasuke's misunderstanding.

"I understand. Is this the power Orochimaru gave you?" Sasuke's gaze turned cold, his dark pupils transforming into three tomoe. He slowly lowered himself, like a cheetah hunting its prey, the beautiful curves of his back muscles radiating a powerful aesthetic. "I'll break your legs, and then take you back!"

"I'm sorry, Sasuke."

Naruto clenched his fists, unyielding, and assumed a fighting stance: "This time... I won't lose!"

In an instant, at level six, at sixty-four times the speed!

boom!

Almost at the same time, the two of them, like Tyrannosaurus Rex, smashed through layers of air currents and rushed towards each other!

The powerful sonic shockwave created a fierce wind in the forest. The moment the two afterimages collided, it triggered a tremendous explosion. The shockwave flattened the surrounding trees, and dust and sand flew everywhere.

But this time, it was Sasuke who was defeated.

Good weight!

Naruto's power completely exceeded her expectations.

It was as if he had become a completely different person; his fists were as heavy as steel, accompanied by a sonic boom, sending Sasuke flying backward.

If it weren't for her special training, that one punch would probably have been enough to defeat her.

Sasuke lowered his center of gravity, his feet sinking deep into the ground until they carved two furrows, before he managed to stop his backward movement.

Seeing Naruto's incredible speed, so fast that even the three-tomoe Sharingan could barely catch a glimpse of him, Sasuke decisively formed hand seals and took a deep breath: "Fire Release: Great Fireball!"

The blazing fireball, anticipating Naruto's trajectory, hurtled head-on towards his landing spot.

"Word of Power: Lord's Flame!"

Naruto's mind naturally swirled with memories of how to control the 'flames'.

The fireball, several meters in diameter, disintegrated in mid-air, causing a violent explosion. Instead of rushing towards Naruto, the flames engulfed Sasuke.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Sasuke suddenly pushed off the ground and retreated, narrowly avoiding the scorching flames.

But her mind was filled with questions: why was her fire-style ninjutsu detonated in mid-air?

Before Sasuke could even think, Naruto suddenly vanished.

The next moment, Naruto suddenly appeared before her, a hint of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, Sasuke!"

boom!

A heavy fist struck Sasuke in the abdomen.

The terrifying force surged like a tidal wave, directly penetrating the internal organs, causing the ribs to groan and scream in agony.

Sasuke couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a cannonball, even dragging a gust of wind and shockwave, smashing all the trees along the way.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke."

Looking at Sasuke, who was engulfed in dust and smoke, Naruto felt a mix of emotions, but he quickly regained his resolve.

"I can't tell you the truth, but I promise I'll come back." He knew very well that he couldn't stay in Konoha; only Orochimaru could give him the future he wanted. He took a deep breath to suppress his restless thoughts and murmured, "When I come back, I will definitely explain everything to you."

Just as he was about to leave, a terrifying pressure came from behind him.

"What?"

Naruto's pupils contracted slightly as he turned to look at Sasuke's position.

Sasuke, clutching his stomach and wiping the blood from his lips, stood up again with a resolute look in his eyes: "I told you, even if it means breaking your legs, I'll bring you back, Naruto!"

"Why are you trying to stop me?!"

At that moment, Naruto's complex emotions finally erupted. He roared angrily, "You don't understand anything, so what right do you have to stop me?!"

"Because we are friends."

Sasuke took a deep breath and looked at him sincerely.

"friend."

Naruto tasted the bitterness, his eyes gradually turning cold: "No, you're wrong. I don't need friends!"

He must sever these ties!

"Naruto, this move... was originally prepared for you." At this moment, she finally stopped hiding. The crimson tomoe reflected Naruto's figure as she said in a deep voice, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly, this is... my ninjutsu!"

A burst of lightning suddenly erupted, blasting Sasuke's clothes off his shoulders and back.

The surging lightning seemed to drape her in a dazzling suit of armor, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Even the air itself seemed to be churning, radiating terrifying heat. The scorching airwaves that swept in nearly set the surrounding forest ablaze, and Sasuke, amidst the raging flames, resembled Thor descending to earth.

"Lightning Release: Instantaneous Roar Mode!"

Bathed in lightning, Sasuke gazed at the shocked Naruto and said, word by word, "Three minutes. This is my current limit. If I exceed this limit, my body and internal organs will suffer severe damage. Therefore, I will finish you off within these three minutes!"

"Since you insist on bothering me..."

The dust particles floating in the air seemed to freeze abruptly. Naruto's muscles bulged, every bone in his body creaking and groaning as if under immense pressure: "This time, I will show no mercy. I'm determined to kill you!"

In an instant, at level 7, at 128x speed!

The moment your foot touches the ground, it's as if you've buried explosives, sending the surrounding soil flying.

Amidst the terrifying shockwave, Naruto left afterimages in the air, smashing through the barriers formed by layers of air currents at a speed that even the Three Tomoe could not detect.

At that moment, he was moving faster than the speed of sound!

Before the sound could be heard, Naruto rushed in front of Sasuke and, before Sasuke could react, clenched his fist and thrust it out.

However, Sasuke, in his "Instant Rage" state, narrowly avoided the punch by sheer reflex.

The fist grazed Sasuke's cheek, leaving a bloody gash.

As Sasuke sidestepped, his right hand clenched into a fist, and dazzling lightning appeared in his palm, condensing into a blazing ball of light that pierced directly towards Naruto's abdomen: "Chidori!"

However, looking at Sasuke's Chidori, Naruto's expression remained cold, and he uttered a solemn and ancient dragon script:

"Word of Power: Lord's Flame!"

The raging flames engulfed Sasuke!

Boom!!!

The intense heat of the explosion was something even the instantaneous form couldn't withstand directly.

Sasuke miscalculated; she didn't expect Naruto to use this move at such close range.

The violent explosion sent Sasuke flying, blood splattering everywhere as if it were free. In her last moments before losing consciousness, Naruto's once radiant smile still echoed in her mind.
