54: Chapter 54 Crushing, Bloodstained Falcons"Kakashi-sensei."
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly smiled and said the second half of his sentence.
"This time, use all your strength, including that eye."
boom.
It was as if an invisible thunderclap exploded over the third training ground.
Kakashi Hatake's crimson, three-tomoe Sharingan contracted violently to its limit in that instant due to extreme shock.
What is he saying?
Use all your strength?
How to deal with him?
Kakashi's mind went blank for a full second.
He had imagined countless ways their reunion would begin, and how Naruto would use exaggerated ninjutsu to showcase his training results.
But he never imagined that the other person would say such a thing to him in a tone that was almost condescending, like an elder instructing a younger person.
[Ding!You have received 9500 units of extreme [astonishment] from Kakashi Hatake!]
"Naruto, you really dare to say that."
Kakashi suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and his Sharingan spun rapidly, capturing every subtle movement of Naruto.
Since you've made that request.
Then let me see what amazing things Jiraiya-sama taught you that give you such arrogant confidence.
His body sank slightly, forming a tiger seal.
The next instant, Kakashi's figure vanished from the spot.
It's not a teleportation technique.
It is a pure, explosive combination of physical skills and speed to the extreme.
On the observation deck at the edge of the training ground, Sakura Haruno couldn't even see his movements clearly; she could only feel a gust of wind sweep by.
That's too fast.
This is the true speed of a Jonin, the speed of Kakashi Hatake.
His figure appeared behind Naruto like a ghost, his hands already clasped together, in the starting stance of the secret technique of Konoha Fluid Technique, only the posture was slightly different, with his index and middle fingers together, pointing at the unsuspecting person behind him.
Thousand Years of Killing!
This technique, which was full of mischief and humiliation, now contained terrifying power in Kakashi's hands, enough to pierce through rock.
He wanted to use this blow to shatter the brat's arrogant ignorance.
However, Naruto Uzumaki didn't even turn around.
Just as Kakashi's chakra-infused fingertips were about to touch the clothes, Naruto's body underwent an extremely strange, physics-defying shift.
It was only half an inch away.
Not too much, not too little, just enough for Kakashi's attack to graze his clothes and land in empty space.
What happened?
Kakashi's Sharingan slowed down the scene countless times, and he was certain that Naruto hadn't made any dodging movement; he was just standing there, while his own attack had "deviated" from its trajectory.
Before he could figure out the reason, an invisible yet incredibly resilient force suddenly erupted from Naruto's side and acted on him.
That feeling didn't feel like being hit by chakra.
It was more like he crashed at full speed into an invisible wall made of air.
Bang!
Kakashi was pushed outward by this strange force, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.He staggered back more than ten meters before barely managing to regain his balance.
He looked down at his own hands, then looked up at the back of the figure who still had his hands in his pockets and hadn't changed his posture at all.
A bone-chilling cold rose up his spine.
That's not ninjutsu.
His Sharingan did not detect any condensation or release of chakra.
That's a kind of.rule.
An "inviolable" domain.
[Ding!You have received 12,000 [Shock] from Kakashi Hatake!]
[Ding!You have received 5500 "Confused" items from Sakura Haruno!]
On the observation deck, Tsunade's breathing stopped.
Even her professional medical ninja eyes were completely unable to analyze what had just happened.
"Jiraiya, this is."
"I don't know." For the first time, a bitter smile that seemed to say "I knew this would happen" appeared on Jiraiya's face."When this kid is out there, he occasionally comes up with things that even I can't understand.When I asked him, he just said it was a small application of the nature of chakra."
Mini-apps?
Tsunade's heart sank.
The atmosphere on the training field completely changed.
Kakashi put away all his probing thoughts.
He finally realized that the Naruto Uzumaki before him was no longer an opponent that could be judged by common sense.
He created enough distance, and his hands began to form hand seals at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Sizzle!
Blinding blue lightning gathered on his right hand, and the sharp cries of thousands of birds rang out.The violent lightning chakra made the surrounding air vibrate.
Raikiri!
"They're getting serious!" Sakura exclaimed nervously.
Kakashi lowered his body, transforming into a streak of blue lightning as he charged straight toward Naruto.
He was going to use the ultimate penetrating power of this A-rank ninjutsu to tear apart that invisible, eerie defense!
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Naruto finally made a new move.
He did not dodge.
He simply raised his left hand slowly and formed a mudra with one hand.
Then, on his arm, beneath that orange sleeve, something was growing at a visible rate.
Dark brown fibers emerged from beneath his skin, twisting, coiling, and hardening.
In the blink of an eye, a thick wooden shield, over a meter in diameter and covered with spiral patterns, grew from his arm and perfectly blocked Raiche's path.
Wood Release.
Tsunade suddenly stood up from her seat, bracing herself against the railing with both hands and leaning forward.For the first time, her usually dignified face was filled with pure, undisguised disbelief.
"Wood Release!How is this possible!"
That was her grandfather Hashirama Senju's unique bloodline limit!
It is to pacifyIn a chaotic world, the legendary power that founded Konoha Village!
Why would this happen to a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
boom!
Kakashi's Lightning Blade slammed squarely into the wooden shield.
Lightning burst forth, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
However, the sharpness that was enough to cut through lightning only left a white mark on the thick wooden shield.
Then, something even more despairing happened to Kakashi.
Instead of breaking, the wooden shield surged with a massive amount of life energy from within, actively absorbing the lightning chakra contained in his Lightning Blade.
His attacks are becoming nourishment for the opponent's defenses.
[Ding!You have received 22,000 of the ultimate [Disruptive] power from Kakashi Hatake!]
[Ding!You have received 19,000 units of the ultimate [Shocking] power from Tsunade!]
[Ding!You have received 11,000 "Relief" from Jiraiya!]
"Just as I thought." Jiraiya let out a long sigh, his bitter smile carrying a hint of pride that even he himself didn't realize.
Naruto calmly watched Kakashi, whose movements faltered as his chakra was absorbed.
His arm trembled slightly.
Click!
The seemingly indestructible wooden shield shattered instantly, turning into a shower of wood chips.
At the same moment the wooden shield shattered, Naruto Uzumaki vanished from the spot.
This time, it was even faster than before.
Even with Kakashi's Sharingan operating at full power, he could only catch a blurry, fleeting orange afterimage.
Oh no!
Kakashi's fighting instincts kicked in frantically; he wanted to turn around, to form hand seals, to react in any way he could.
But it was too late.
The next second.
jingle.
The clear sound of bells rang out on the training ground.
Naruto Uzumaki appeared silently behind Kakashi.
In one of his hands, he was holding the two silver bells that should have been hanging on Kakashi's waist.
His other hand was gently resting on the back of Kakashi's neck.
Kakashi's muscles instantly stiffened.
He dared not move.
He could clearly feel a terrifying chakra fluctuation emanating from Naruto's seemingly casual hand resting on the back of his neck, a fluctuation so powerful it made his soul tremble.
That chakra was highly condensed, ready to be unleashed.
He had no doubt that the moment the other party had a thought, this force could shatter his neck bones and destroy his central nervous system within a hundredth of a second.
The exercise began less than five minutes ago.
It ended in the most thorough and overwhelming way.
Naruto released his grip, as if he had only accomplished a trivial task.
He casually tossed the two bells to Sakura Haruno, who was completely stunned not far away.
Then, he turned around, looked up at Tsunade and Jiraiya on the observation platform, and spoke calmly.
"Warm-up is over."
The moment he finished speaking.
A mournful, weary cry of an eagle shattered the tranquility above Konoha.
A falcon covered in dark red blood forcefully broke through the village's sensory barrier with a desperate attitude, and with its strength exhausted, crashed headfirst into the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the Hokage's office.
Bang!
The glass shattered instantly.
Tsunade and Jiraiya's attention was suddenly drawn to it.
The camera freezes on that moment.
On the leg of the dying falcon was a glaring red scroll, soaked in blood, representing the highest level of emergency aid needed by Sunagakure.
