Chapter 348

[Without time to pay attention to the commotion, Naruto turned around to stop the centipede from moving down again, but was knocked away again. Looking at the approaching centipede, Naruto forced himself to be strong, split his shadow clone and set up a simple defense line to block the centipede. ]

[Below, looking at the Loulan people who were hit by the falling rubble and suffered heavy casualties, and then looking at Naruto who was still fighting hard above, Sarah rushed to the door with a broken heart, pounding on the door, crying and begging. 】

["Tsk, are there still obstacles at this time!"]

["It's called an accident because it's unpredictable. If everything goes smoothly, would there be any value in appearing on the sky screen!"]

["By the way, where is the Fourth Hokage? Wasn't he trying to stop the Centipede? Why did he suddenly go offline!"]

["Just now I thought he had solved the biggest enemy directly, but in the end it was still Naruto who had to clean up the mess!"]

["No way! Forget about Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei. They don't have that kind of dominance, so it's understandable that they couldn't stop the Centipede! But this is the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato who killed fifty Iwagakure in an instant on the battlefield, and the legendary ninja who ordered all countries to give up their missions immediately when they met him. Why can't the Centipede Beat him!"]

["You can brag if you want, but can you not involve us in Iwagakure!"]

["From the beginning of this mission, the Fourth Hokage always disappeared from time to time, saying that he had something to do, but I didn't see what they did. As a result, now he is asked to deal with the Centipede, and he actually made such a mistake!"]

["You people in Konoha, do you really have the habit of pushing all the troubles to Naruto and then slacking off? Even with the change of time, it affects the people before he was born?"]

Minato scratched his head embarrassedly. He really wasn't slacking off. It was just that the Centipede suddenly ran a little further because of the sudden burst of power. By the way, he went back to the ground to check the situation of Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei, so the Centipede broke through his defense.

【Just when Sarah was desperate, the Chakra knife she held tightly in her hand suddenly emitted a burst of purple light. Following the guidance of the Chakra on the blade, Sarah inserted it into the switch on the gate. ]

[Looking at Sara who had cheered up again, the fat man Sarai called on everyone to come forward to help. Everyone united and tried their best. Even Sara's palm holding the chakra knife was bleeding. Finally, the switch was completely activated and the door to a safe place was opened. ]

[Everyone hurried into the courtyard to take refuge, but Sara was the only one left outside the door. Facing the confusion of everyone inside the door, Sara said firmly: "I still have things I must do!"]

["Uh, I don't understand what this means. Why did the chakra knife Naruto gave Sara become the key to the switch? Also, does the dragon vein have its own consciousness and can actually guide Sara what to do?"]

["Maybe Sara resonated with the dragon vein when she was emotionally excited. The centipede can absorb the power of the dragon vein out of thin air. There is no reason why Sara, the original owner, can only cut off this energy! As for the chakra knife that became a key, I can only say it's a coincidence!"]

["It feels like Naruto's time travel to come here is really destined! If it weren't for him, let alone Open this door, Sarah might fall off the tower and die soon after she appeared, and the people in Konoha are useless, even the Fourth Hokage couldn't stop a centipede! "]

["Hahaha, this time even the Fourth Hokage was criticized. Sure enough, those of us who speak on the sky screen are the strongest in the ninja world!"]

[At this time, Naruto was clamped by the centipede's tail and fell heavily to the ground. Sarah, who had settled everyone, ran over and helped him up. She looked at the centipede rushing towards them, turned to Naruto and said, "Sure enough, if the source of the dragon vein is not stopped, An Lushan's power is unlimited... I must go to cut off the source of the dragon vein!"]

["Well, please." Naruto gave her a trusting look, and then the two of them acted separately. 】

【The battle with the Centipede started again. Naruto used multiple shadow clones to hold the legs on the centipede's tail to restrict the Centipede's movement, while his real body used the Rasengan to quickly approach the Centipede's head from the back. 】

【Being entangled again and again, the Centipede became angry and released a large amount of chakra like an electric current, instantly defeating all of Naruto's shadow clones and disintegrating his real body's attack. 】

["It feels like that. It turns out that Naruto still uses the shadow clones as cannon fodder!"]

["Isn't Naruto's attack too open? He just slipped under the Centipede. Wouldn't it be better to use the Rasengan there!"]

["ImpressionIn the video, Naruto did not seem to have used sneak attacks or launched attacks in the enemy's blind spots..."]

["Not a ninja at all. I understand why Orochimaru and Kabuto said that about him!"]

[Naruto was forced back by the centipede's attack. Although the attack did not work, he did not get discouraged and once again created a dozen shadow clones to block the centipede.]

[Perhaps he had reached his limit. Naruto suddenly lost strength and bent over. Several shadow clones also turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated without any warning. In the end, only four shadow clones were able to maintain their forms. They gritted their teeth and launched an attack together with Naruto.]

["Dragon Vein·Great Dragon Fire! "The centipede opened its mouth and stretched out a cannon barrel, and a stream of purple flames gushed out, easily defeating Naruto's attack.]

["What a huge amount of chakra... But... I absolutely cannot let you pass through here..." Naruto struggled to get up again and performed the Shadow Clone Technique, but he could only split two shadow clones to fight with him.]

["Wow! This is the first time Naruto has suffered a loss in chakra quantity!"]

["It serves him right, who made him use chakra like that! Not to mention using 10% of his strength with 1% of chakra like the Fourth Hokage, he basically wasted chakra in the attack process, and 10% of his strength can't even achieve the effect of 1% of his strength!"]

["See, even if there are only four shadow clones left, he still insists on launching a frontal attack. Can't he act in a roundabout way from other directions? This is the most basic tactic!"]

["Heh, for me, four shadow clones is my limit, but he can still split four shadow clones when his chakra is almost used up! ”]

[“By the way, I don’t think I’ve seen Naruto use the Nine-Tails Chakra today!”]

[“He has used it. Didn’t he explode when he was caught by the centipede and his chakra was absorbed?”]
