Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 264 The Hidden Plan

Although the extremely long name made the Nine-Tailed Fox in the spiritual world roll its eyes and secretly complain that the brat's naming taste was just as bad as his father's, the power of this move was undeniable.

Five enormous Rasengans, each containing different chakra attributes, crashed into the sand sea that was trying to devour everything, like five falling meteors, carrying the momentum to destroy everything!

"Boom—!!!"

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, as chakra energies of various attributes erupted, intertwined, and annihilated in an instant! Blazing fire tornadoes, raging lightning, wind blades tearing through everything, massive rockfalls as heavy as mountains, and towering, sweeping waves...

The endless sea of ​​sand was rapidly disintegrated under the terrifying bombardment of the fusion of the five elements, and a huge passage was forcibly carved out.

The power of the Rasengan was far from exhausted. After tearing through the sand barrier, their momentum did not diminish, and they all struck Shukaku's massive body below with solid force!

"Roar!!!"

Shukaku's furious and painful roar echoed across the sky as its massive body was completely engulfed by the explosion.

Naruto landed lightly on the top of a towering tree, calmly watching the ball of light that was still exploding and raging with energy not far away, and the mournful howl that Shukaku was emitting from within it.

He quickly assessed the situation. If Gaara's body were exposed outside Shukaku's body as in the "original work," he could simply wake him up to forcibly deactivate his tailed beast transformation. But at this moment, Gaara was clearly completely consumed by Shukaku's consciousness, which was deeply embedded within his body.

Then, there is only one way left—to force Shukaku back into its seal!

As the intense light and smoke from the explosion slowly dissipated, Shukaku's enormous body remained standing, albeit in a horribly mangled state. Its sand-based body was riddled with huge holes and cracks, resembling a leaky, dilapidated doll, with sand constantly leaking from its wounds, the rate of repair far outpacing the destruction.

"Is that the [Shukaku Shield]?" Naruto immediately recognized the defensive technique. At the last moment, he used super-dense sand to protect most of his body, but he was still severely injured.

Shukaku struggled to lift his head, his eyes fixed on Naruto atop the tree, burning with rage and madness. "You brat! And that damned fox! You forced me to this!!"

It went completely berserk, suddenly opening its massive maw and, ignoring its still-collapsing body, began to forcefully gather power! The red chakra representing Yang Release and the blue chakra representing Yin Release began to mix and compress wildly in its mouth in a precise 8:2 ratio!

Finally, a deep purplish-black sphere rapidly took shape in its mouth, containing a terrifying power capable of completely decomposing and annihilating all matter.

It's a Tailed Beast Ball!

"boom--!!!"

The purplish-black Tailed Beast Ball, carrying an aura of annihilation, hurtled towards Naruto. Wherever it passed, even light seemed to be swallowed up, leaving only a distorted trail.

Faced with this terrifying attack that could wipe a mountain off the map, Naruto's eyes showed no panic. He simply raised his hands calmly, quickly formed hand seals, and then held a Flying Thunder God kunai engraved with special runes in front of him.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

Along the path of the Tailed Beast Ball, a large number of complex and precise sealing runes suddenly appeared in the air without warning, instantly forming an invisible spatial coordinate network.

The destructive energy sphere seemed to have crashed into an invisible spider web, its speed suddenly decreasing. Then, the massive energy body was forcibly pulled and twisted by the rune array, and was forcibly "trapped" inside!

"Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder".

As Naruto's chakra surged violently, the space-time ninjutsu was activated once more. His figure swayed slightly with a golden flash.

Almost simultaneously, in a deserted valley several kilometers away, the Tailed Beast Ball, precisely teleported there, lost the constraints of its spatial coordinates, and its extremely unstable Yin-Yang Release chakra instantly became unbalanced—

"boom!!!!!!!"

A deafening roar, far more violent and muffled than any previous explosion, echoed from afar. Even from this distance, a massive mushroom cloud, infused with purplish-black energy, could be clearly seen slowly rising into the sky. The shockwave from the explosion even caused the surrounding forest to sway. Its power was comparable to a small nuclear bomb, but it would be meaningless if it failed to hit its target.

Shukaku was completely dumbfounded, its eyes wide open. Its strongest attack... had been so easily neutralized?! What kind of monster is this brat?!

In stark contrast to Shukaku's shock, Kurama, the demon within Naruto, was experiencing a complex mix of emotions. Watching Naruto skillfully use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer that familiar threat, Kurama couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. This kid… he's becoming more and more like that man…

It couldn't help but recall that night many years ago, when it was once again controlled by the Sharingan, wreaking havoc on Konoha. Ultimately, a man stopped it, sacrificing his life to seal half of it within Naruto…

Thinking about this, Kurama's heart suddenly felt uneasy. Even though that man was already on the verge of death, she had ultimately done something irreversible to Naruto's parents…

Guilt and a hidden fear quietly grew—Kyuubi suddenly felt a little afraid that Naruto would one day learn the full truth about his parents' deaths.

"Gah gah... Waaah... This great one... This great one doesn't want to go back yet!"

Shukaku reluctantly moved its massive body backward, its face, made of sand, revealing a hint of anthropomorphic fear and grievance.

It had only recently gained its freedom! It didn't want to go back to that dark and gloomy sealed cage! What's more, this time it was suppressed by the stinky fox's jinchūriki himself... If it ever had the chance to see Kurama again in the future, Shukaku Bean dared not imagine what kind of infuriating face that arrogant fox would show!

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the battle, deep in the shadows of a dense forest, a figure stood silently atop a high branch, intently observing the fight between Naruto and Shukaku. Snake-like eyes were fixed on Naruto's dazzling golden chakra mode, a possessive, almost obsessive, gleaming in them.

It was Orochimaru, who was supposed to be fighting the Third Hokage? However, upon closer inspection, the chakra fluctuations of this "Orochimaru" were much weaker—it seems that this was not his true body, but merely a clone used for observation and backup plans.

"A perfect... Jinchūriki. Is the difference between that and a wild Tailed Beast that can't be fully controlled really that vast?"

Orochimaru muttered to himself, his hoarse voice filled with barely suppressed excitement. His original plan was to wait for Shukaku and Naruto to be severely weakened before making his move to seize the opportunity, but now it seemed that his plan was going to fail.

If this trend continues, Shukaku will soon be completely suppressed.

"Although it's controlled by a clone, this body, maintained by the [Shadow Clone Technique], has limited chakra... but it should be enough to execute the backup plan."

Without further hesitation, he swiftly formed the forbidden hand seal.

"Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation!"
