Being a rogue ninja is worse than being Hokage.

"You've already 'waited' for quite a while, why don't you wait a little longer?"

After confirming that Naruto was safe and sound, Naruto began to rebuke Fuuka Nutō for her sudden attack.

"Stop looking down on me, you bunch of brats who haven't even grown their hair yet!"

Faced with Naruto's sarcasm, Fuuka Nutō's forehead veins bulged.

Naruto successfully attracted Fuuka Nuta's attention.

A large amount of chakra overflowed from Feng Hua Nu Tao's body. His eyes were fixed on Naruto, and then he leaped up!

The chakra armor enhanced Fuuka Nutō's taijutsu, allowing him to leap high into the air with a mere tumble.

The wind, flowers, and raging waves lingered briefly in the air before the person suddenly vanished.

Fuuto appeared in front of Naruto using a Body Flicker Technique.

The wind, the waves, and Naruto's body were almost pressed together.

"Die!"

With a furious roar, Feng Hua Nu Tao threw a punch at Naruto.

Naruto immediately stretched out one hand, bending his elbow to defend against Fuuka's taijutsu attack.

But the raging waves of wind and waves gathered a large amount of chakra in his fist.

The amount of chakra in the Wind Flower Raging Wave Fist altered the power of taijutsu boxing.

Naruto's defense was completely ineffective.

Naruto, struck squarely by the Wind and Flower Furious Fist, was sent flying.

Naruto repeatedly slammed and rolled on the ice with his bare body.

The powerful impact sent Naruto flying more than ten meters away.

"Naruto!"

Seeing Naruto severely injured by the raging waves, Karin's heart tightened.

Naruto didn't dodge the attack of the Wind Flower Fury Wave because he no longer had the speed to react.

Naruto's injuries from protecting Karin on the airship proved to be a hindrance in his battle against Fuuka Nutō.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue, who was watching the battle from afar, also pursed her lips.

As expected, Naruto, already battered and bruised before his battle with Fuuka Nutō, was finding it too difficult to fight against Fuuka Nutō at his peak...

But Naruto, who was knocked down by the raging waves, did not give up.

He struggled to his feet, his entire body covered in blood.

"Naruto's chakra has been weakened too much!"

Karin sensed Naruto's remaining chakra, although the accuracy of her perception was reduced due to the chakra absorption device.

Karin was confident in the accuracy of her assessment of Naruto's chakra levels.

The result was not ideal.

However, Naruto's next action startled Karin!

Naruto actually divided most of his remaining chakra and condensed it in his hand to form a Rasengan!

"No, Naruto! If this attack is negated by the chakra armor of the Wind Flower Fury Waves, the consequences for you will be unimaginable!"

Karin wanted to stop Naruto's crazy behavior with words.

"That's right! Kid, your desperate ninjutsu attack will only have its chakra dissipate the moment it touches my armor!"

The wind, flowers, and raging waves also mocked Naruto's suicidal actions.

Given Naruto's current state, Naruto and Fuuka Nutō launched their attack from a distance of several meters.

Before Naruto actually came into contact with the Fuuka Angsou, the Fuuka Angsou had already been capable of killing Naruto several times over.

Naruto is not the only one who can fight against the raging winds and waves.

"That's hard to say!"

Naruko's voice rang out behind Fuuka Nutō.

Feng Hua Nu Tao turned his head in surprise to look at Naruko.

Feng Hua Nu Tao could guarantee that he hadn't even blinked, but Naruko in front of him suddenly turned into Naruto.

In Naruto's hand was that Rasengan!

Naruto and Naruko swapped positions using the Flying Thunder God Technique!

As for Naruko, she returned to Karin and Koyuki's side.

"The situation is not good. I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get you two out of here!"

Naruko's words startled Karin.

It turns out that Naruto used up all his last bit of chakra just to use himself as bait in a feint attack against Fuuka Naoto.

The real purpose was to take advantage of Fuuka Noutō's inattention and move Karin and Fuuka Koyuki to a safe location.

"But... Naruto!"

Karin wanted to argue further.

Naruko immediately interrupted her: "There's no time. I'm just a shadow clone. Once my main body's chakra is exhausted, I'll disappear immediately! Then neither of you will be able to leave—"

Before Naruko could finish speaking, Fuuka Nutō's furious roar pierced everyone's ears!

"It's all just meaningless cleverness!"

With a roar, Feng Hua Nu Tao unleashed the full power of his chakra armor.

He caught the Rasengan with his bare hands.

However, the amount of chakra that Naruto condensed in this Rasengan was extraordinary.

Cracks appeared on the yin-yang fish-shaped protective shield on the chakra armor of the Wind Flower Raging Waves.

This means that the chakra armor of the Wind Flower Fury has reached its limit in absorbing Naruto's chakra!

This is a great opportunity!

If Naruto uses a little more strength, he can defeat Fuuka Notto!

But this was Naruto's last bit of chakra.

The power of the Rasengan that lands on the Wind Flower Fury Wave Chakra Armor will only weaken as the chakra is absorbed and consumed!

So close!

In Karin and Kazahana Koyuki's eyes, Naruto was only a hair's breadth away from truly defeating Kazahana Naoto!

But Naruto's Rasengan had already run out of chakra!

In the end, the victor is still Feng Hua Nu Tao.

However, in Naruto and Naruko's view...

Everything has now settled down.

Chapter 21 Diamond Lockdown

"There's no time to hesitate any longer!"

Naruko blocked Karin's view, hindering Karin's ability to sense and probe Naruto.

It was precisely without Karin's knowledge that a trace of fierce chakra reappeared in Naruto's body, which had been "depleted".

Naruto channeled this chakra into Fuuka Nutō's body.

That's... an illusion!

The chakra armor, already damaged by Naruto's Rasengan, was no match for this wisp of chakra used to cast genjutsu.

As soon as this chakra entered Fuuka Noto's body, it disrupted Fuuka Noto's chakra pathways.

Unbeknownst to him, Fuuka and Naruto were trapped in a dream world, their actions controlled by Naruto.

"You brat! You've run out of chakra!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao opened his arms wide, his ten fingers forming claws, and grabbed Naruto's arms, who was no longer able to resist.

Naruto, who was being restrained, was lifted up and raised high by Fuuka Nutō.

"It's all over! Now sink to the bottom of the lake!"

With all his might, Feng Hua Nu Tao brought his hands together inward, and Naruto felt pressure being applied to his body from both sides, causing his bones and internal organs to be squeezed and emitting sharp pains.

Then, with a powerful downward slam of both hands, Fuuka Nutō smashed Naruto's body through the thick layer of ice.

The entire ice sheet in front of the raging waves was smashed, revealing the flowing lake water beneath.

Naruto fell into the lake.

He fell deeper and deeper, until he could no longer see the light reflecting off the water.

The whole person was enveloped in darkness.

But Naruto's eyes didn't show the regret and fear of a loser; his gaze was calm, as if he wasn't the one facing death.

But Naruto still tried his best to suppress his chakra, letting the blood be squeezed out of his body more quickly from the wounds due to the water pressure in the lake.

It creates the illusion of the most genuine passing of vitality.

Naruto's story is over.

Next, we'll have to rely on Naruto, a special shadow clone created by Naruto.

……

After Fuuka Naruto, who was unaware that he was under a genjutsu, effortlessly "dealt with" Naruto.

Feng Hua Nu Tao looked at Feng Hua Xiao Xue and the others standing to the side.

"You all—die! Even without the so-called 'wealth of the Fuuka family,' I can still take over the entire ninja world!"
