"Eight Branches Flash!"
"Void Dog Cannon!"
Two shouts rang out, one sinister, the other powerful. Within the Four Purple Flames Formation, a pillar of chakra collided with the myriad shadows of the Eight Branches, bursting apart in a shower of sparks.
"Heh heh, Naruto-kun, your Void Dog Cannon has really improved. It actually managed to break through my Eight Branches Flash."
Orochimaru's sharp voice echoed and reverberated throughout the sealed space.
"Kusanagi Sword!"
Waving his hand, Naruto summoned the Kusanagi Sword, then formed a single hand seal, "Kusanagi Sword Shadow Clone!"
"Whoosh!"
Holding a Kusanagi Sword in each hand, the faint green light scattered, creating a hazy, beautiful effect.
"Kusanagi Sword!"
Orochimaru's tone was filled with barely suppressed hatred.
"Lightning Fang! Thunderclap Emission!"
Clashing the two Kusanagi Swords together, Naruto's body was surrounded by purple lightning that shot out, fiercely attacking the Eight-Headed Serpent.
"Eight Branches Power!"
The serpent bodies beneath the eight snake heads swelled up violently.
In the next moment, the mouths of the eight snake heads also bulged.
"Poison Flame!"
Green gas spewed from the eight snake mouths, slowly spreading throughout the space.
"Hiss…"
The poisonous mist, upon contact with the ground, emitted a hissing sound, and the ground became pitted and uneven.
Clearly, it was being corroded.
"Damn it, it's poisonous and highly corrosive!"
Naruto felt a sense of danger for the first time. He might be okay, but what about the Third Hokage?
"Buzz!"
The moment it touched the poisonous mist, the Kusanagi Sword Shadow Clone dissipated in a "poof" of white smoke. However, the Kusanagi Sword itself, held in Naruto's other hand, began to vibrate violently, resonating with a loud hum.
"Whoosh!"
Green light filled the air, a vibrant, natural green unlike the murky green of the poison mist.
Like snow melting under the sun, the poison mist floating in the air was instantly purified, vanishing completely.
"What is that?"
Orochimaru's voice was filled with unconcealable fear.
Looking at this light, he felt an immense aversion and dread.
Naruto, at this moment, had already dispelled his Nine-Tailed Fox Power. Bathed in the brilliant green light, he stood in place with his eyes closed, unmoving.
"O…Orochimaru-sama, it's bad! The incompatible cells in our chests are starting to multiply rapidly. Run! If we stay here, we'll die!"
Kabuto Yakushi's voice rang out, laced with uncontrollable fear.
"En, let's go!"
Orochimaru nodded grimly, reverting from his Eight Branches state. He was about to take a step when his body shuddered violently.
"O…Orochimaru-sama, we can't move! The cells in our chests are about to spread throughout our bodies, and some are already becoming independent. Quickly, have Kidomaru and the others carry us away!"
Kabuto Yakushi's voice trembled continuously.
"Retreat!"
Gazing at the lump of flesh protruding from his chest, Orochimaru forced the words out through clenched teeth.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
Kidomaru and the other three had noticed the anomaly long ago. They immediately dispelled the Four Purple Flames Formation and rushed over, grabbing Orochimaru and leaping into the air.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Genma and his group arrived just in time.
"Spider Silk Binding!"
Kidomaru puffed out his cheeks, then spat out a mass of incredibly sticky spider silk.
"Pfft!"
Genma and the others were all ensnared, their movements immediately halted.
"Naruto, are you alright?"
The Third Hokage walked over, looking at Naruto, whose whole body was emitting a faint green light. Trees grew around him, getting bigger and bigger, with new leaves and buds constantly sprouting.
"Hoo..."
Letting out a breath and opening his eyes, Naruto was now incredibly graceful, as if he had merged with nature.
"Old man Third Hokage, I'm fine. What about Orochimaru?"
Naruto turned to the Third Hokage beside him and asked.
"Orochimaru escaped. Hehe, Naruto, we really owe you a lot this time."
The Third Hokage smiled with satisfaction.
"Hey, it's alright, things will calm down."
Naruto lazily hopped down from the roof, cradling his head.
"Naruto, Konoha is truly fortunate to have you."
The Third Hokage's old face was creased with a smile of relief.
"Hey, Sakura, you guys are back!"
Naruto waved towards Sakura and the others hurrying over in the distance, then strolled towards them.
"Naruto?"
Sakura looked at the Naruto walking towards them with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the Naruto beside her, unable to figure it out. "How are there two Narutos?"
"Heh heh…"
Walking over and hooking his arm around the shoulder of the Wood Clone, Naruto grinned, "My clone brother!"
Dispelling the clone, Naruto beamed at Sakura, reaching out to hook his arm around her fragrant shoulder, "How is it? My clone is pretty good, right? Isn't his strength amazing?"
"Heh, it's not bad."
Sakura's tone was flat, and her laughter sounded strange.
"Bang! Ugh…"
Feeling a heavy blow to his stomach, Naruto painfully bent over, clutching his belly, and struggled to raise his head to look at Sakura.
"You stinky Naruto, you actually dared to deceive this beautiful lady! Serves you right! It hurts, doesn't it!"
Sakura huffed angrily and walked away.
"Take care, Naruto."
Sasuke said in a calm voice before turning and leaving.
"Damn, what a heartless guy!"
Naruto flipped Sasuke off with a middle finger.
"I guess I should head back..."
Naruto struggled to sit up, inwardly grumbling, "Ugh... My stomach still hurts, and no one even comes to help. What a bunch of awful guys!"
"Ayame-neechan, a bowl of ramen, I'm starving!"
Naruto dashed into Ichiraku Ramen, yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Hey, it's Naruto-kun!"
Ayame, swaying her hips, walked over to Naruto and lifted his chin with a delicate hand. "Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day?"
Smelling the sweet fragrance of Ayame's breath and gazing at her face, which was so close, Naruto swallowed and asked.
"It's the seventh anniversary of our acquaintance," Ayame said with a smile, looking at Naruto. "So, I'll treat you to ramen today."
"Oh? Really? Thanks, Ayame-nee-san!"
Naruto was clearly overjoyed.
"And there's a special souvenir too."
Ayame brought her pretty face closer to Naruto's.
"Souvenir?"
Naruto looked at Ayame, puzzled.
"It's just..."
