Chapter 96
At this moment, the weaklings, scorched and sliced by the composite-attribute Ninjutsu, flew into the sky amidst their screams.
In just the first round, the Ninja from the Land of Demons had defeated most of the guards.
Their abnormal Jutsu strength completely exceeded normal limits.
"Fire Release…"
Uchiha Inaho, seeing this, immediately used the Uchiha Clan's signature Fire Release Ninjutsu.
The Great Fireball Technique he unleashed had an enormous range.
It actually managed to neutralize the aftershocks of the enemy's composite Jutsu with a single attribute.
But the next moment…
A long stream of water flew over.
"Water Release… Water Dragon Jutsu!"
From the cracked ground, a large amount of underground water burst forth.
These water currents condensed into a long dragon.
A giant water dragon, at least 20 meters long, extinguished the Great Fireball that had lost its momentum.
Uchiha Inaho's eyes widened suddenly.
Between life and death, he displayed his Joninstrength.
With the help of his Sharingan, he narrowly avoided the water dragon's assault.
"We can't win…"
Hyuga Natsu instantly assessed the situation.
The enemy, with only five individuals, had scattered the guards with their extraordinary strength.
Even more concerning was that the long-haired man, "Yomi," who seemed to be their leader, had not yet made a move.
Through the path they had cleared, Yomi slowly lifted his foot.
The next moment, his body flickered, as if shrinking the ground beneath him, approaching the Miko's residence.
Just then, Uchiha Izumi rushed out from inside.
And revealed the Uchiha Clan's proud Sharingan.
"Oh? Nice eyes…"
Yomi stopped, looking at the Uchiha girl's eyes with interest.
"Too bad… not enough maturity."
With just a wave of his hand, Uchiha Izumi was sent flying.
The Uchiha girl let out a cry of pain and instantly fell to the side.
Then, Yomi, searching for his target, prepared to step into the house.
However, the barrier suddenly glowed.
In the night, a faint purple light formed a shield, blocking his intrusion.
Clearly, this was a barrier set by the Miko, activated by the power of Moryo.
It was also at this moment that Naruto shook his head, deciding to act… "Mmm~."
Kurenai Yuhi got up from the ground, looking at the tragic scene before her.
The grim-faced Ninja from the Land of Demonspossessed inhuman features, each looking like a demon from hell.
Evidently, some unknown power within them had transformed them into this terrifying appearance.
"Genjutsu…"
As a guard, and also Shinku Yuhi's daughter, Kurenai Yuhi certainly wouldn't retreat.
Inheriting her deceased father's will, she honed her Genjutsu, striving to reach the heights her father once achieved.
That is… "The First Genjutsu Ninja."
Uchiha Shisui's rising fame made her particularly anxious, and she harbored thoughts of a showdown.
It was just that she hadn't had the opportunity yet.
And now, this mission… absolutely cannot fail!
Boom!
A loud bang suddenly crashed into the courtyard, kicking up countless plumes of smoke.
Naruto checked on Uchiha Izumi's condition; she had sustained a certain degree of injury.
"Naruto…?"
Uchiha Izumi murmured, lying on the ground, looking at the suddenly appearing blond youth.
"Izumi-jie jie~, don't worry, I'm here to help."
Why?
Uchiha Izumi didn't understand.
Why would Naruto know what was happening here?
Although he had indeed been frequenting this place these past few days, and had befriended the Miko and Shion… but… However, before she could figure it out, her injuries caused her to pass out.
And before she completely lost consciousness, what she saw was Naruto helping her up… Soon, Naruto handed the unconscious Uchiha Izumi over to Hyuga Natsu.
Hyuga Natsu held her and quickly departed.
This battlefield was no longer something she, whose strength was only that of a Chunin, could handle.
So… rescuing Uchiha Izumi while reporting the situation to others was her duty.
"Yūgao, go help them."
Naruto instructed Yūgao, who stood beside him.
"Mm!" Yūgao nodded and quickly joined the battle.
After her second frenzy, her sanity had "fallen to good" a bit more, and her thoughts became even more twisted.
This time, Naruto even called her by her name, and she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
Then.
Kurenai Yuhi, who was forming hand signs to cast a Genjutsu, suddenly felt a pain in her back.
Naruto kicked her to the ground.
"Long hair, short on insight, woman!"
Naruto repeated Uchiha Inaho's previous assessment of Kurenai Yuhi.
These Ninja from the Land of Demons all possessed alien-like creatures formed by Moryo's power within their bodies.
What use was it to cast Genjutsu on them?
Those alien creatures would awaken them, making them like perfect Jinchuriki.
"Ugh~!"
Kurenai Yuhi, still on the ground, hadn't figured out the situation when Naruto took her place and confronted the opponent before him.
As his running speed increased, Naruto's red eyes became more pronounced, and his teeth and nails sharpened.
Naruto, using his Tailed Beast Power, instantly rushed in front of his opponent… Chapter 38. Dark Nine-Tails Power!
"This brat…"
When the Ninja from the Land of Demons saw Naruto suddenly speed up, he knew Naruto was no ordinary brat.
And Kurenai Yuhi, still on the ground, wondered if she had actually been knocked down by a child?!
When she looked up and clearly saw Naruto's figure, she realized that the one who had knocked her down was the Fourth Hokage's child… Uzumaki Naruto.
But even if he was the Hokage's child, he couldn't be so rude, could he?
With the enemy present, he instead attacked a comrade?
What was he thinking?
Naruto, unaware of Kurenai Yuhi's thoughts and not intending to consider them, only knew that sometimes, a foolish woman's greatest help was to not get in the way.
As Naruto rushed towards the enemy, his body suddenly burst with light.
He was enveloped in a faint, flickering black aura.
His sudden attack, a seemingly small fist, carried an unmatched immense force.
With just one blow, he sent the Ninja from the Land of Demons, who had extended his palm to block, flying.
The latter, like a cannonball, smashed through the stone wall, then flew all the way outside.
"Not bad, huh."
Naruto looked at his palm.
This was the combined result of unleashing Nine-Tails Power and Yin Release Power.
Hmm, perhaps it's time to give this Dark ♦ power a name.
How about "Dark Nine-Tails Power"?
Naruto's suggestion was, of course, conveyed to the Nine-Tailed.
The Nine-Tailed snorted in response, disdainful of comment.
When the golden-haired Naruto was enveloped in the pitch-black aura, his shadow projected onto the ground swayed like a demon.
"Hmm?!"
Naruto's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention.
This included the Miko maintaining the barrier, her daughter Shion beside her.
Uchiha Inaho and the other guards.
And… Yomi and his three subordinates.
The enemies, realizing Naruto's uniqueness, began to adjust their strategy, no longer treating Narutoas a mere child.
Uchiha Inaho also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Naruto come to help.
How much power would this young powerhouse, who appeared naive but could even defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, unleash this time?
It was time to witness the truth of the rumors.
The next moment.
Naruto turned to face everyone.
"Good evening, everyone."
Oh, wait, that wasn't the kind, patriotic Narutoexpression.
Naruto rubbed his cheeks, then put on an indignant, righteous protagonist's furious questioning look: "You hateful guys… why are you hurting Auntie Miko and Shion~~~!!!!"
"Naruto…"
