Chapter 604: Tailed Beast Ball's Deflection and Interception
Konoha Village, outside the temporary Hokage room.
At this moment, Jiraiya and Naruto, who were caught off guard, were still staring at each other.
"Teacher Jiraiya? Is it really you?!!"
"Hey! Naruto, you…"
Jiraiya was stunned and didn't know how to face Naruto; although besides Tsunade, the person he loved and missed the most was his disciple.
Without waiting for Jiraiya to say anything, Naruto confirmed the identity of the lecherous sage.
He rushed over and hugged Jiraiya.
"Sexy Immortal, I miss you so much..."
"You guys, you're already a hero of Konoha Village, why are you still here?"
Jiraiya wanted to say something, but he saw Naruto with tears streaming down his face.
At this moment, Jiraiya finally understood.
All of them were expecting too much from Naruto.
From what he heard, Naruto's recent growth and strength were just the result of external crisis.
This child is essentially a little kid who longs for care and family.
All of Naruto's strength and optimism is just an alternative disguise to protect himself. Only in front of his loved ones who truly care about him will he let go of everything and show his vulnerability.
Just like the night when I cried bitterly when I learned about Jiraiya's sacrifice, and just like the tears I shed when I first saw my mother Kushina in the consciousness space...
"Sorry, that's too much..."
Jiraiya hugged Naruto tighter, feeling equally bitter.
If possible, he would also like to watch Naruto grow up, get married and have children, and always be healthy and happy...
Unfortunately.
A chaotic and cruel ninja world is definitely not a paradise for every ninja who serves as a weapon.
Even someone as powerful as the Three Ninjas of Konoha was like this.
...
At the same time, Jiraiya's appearance also attracted the attention of others outside the house.
"That is?!!"
"Hush - give them some time."
Kakashi nodded to Sakura, hoping that she would not disturb this heartwarming scene.
Although he also recognized Jiraiya's Impure World identity, the fact that he was able to come out of Tsunade's house safely proved that he was a friend rather than an enemy, so there shouldn't be any problem.
only.
Their idea was good, but unfortunately the enemy did not agree.
Right now.
The Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's spiritual space seemed to have suddenly received some hint and suddenly became furious.
The next second, Naruto also woke up suddenly.
He pushed away the Edo Tensei Jiraiya in front of him, then instantly entered Kurama mode, quickly releasing chakra and completing the complete transformation into a tailed beast.
In just a few seconds, a huge chakra nine-tail appeared in the center of Konoha Village.
This scene almost scared all the Konoha ninjas around.
I almost thought that the Nine-Tailed Fox had gone berserk again.
But upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Nine-Tails was a little different this time. It was not a completely solid entity, but a condensed form of dark orange chakra. He could even see Naruto himself wrapped inside it.
But Naruto, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast, was in no mood to worry about others. Instead, he looked up into the sky with a tense expression.
According to the Nine-Tails, a cone-shaped Tailed Beast Ball that is powerful enough to destroy the entire Konoha Village is flying towards this side.
It will probably reach and hit Konoha in ten more seconds!
"Ku Lama, what should I do?"
"Quickly condense the Tailed Beast Ball!"
"what?"
"Use your Tailed Beast Ball to deflect the cone-shaped Tailed Beast Ball and force it to fall outside the Leaf Village. Don't you understand?"
"oh oh!"
Naruto immediately took action, controlling the Nine-Tails' body and began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball.
Tailed beast jade can be roughly divided into the following categories based on size and chakra amount:
Micro Tailed Beast Ball < Ordinary Tailed Beast Ball < Large Tailed Beast Ball ≈ Conical Tailed Beast Ball < Giant Tailed Beast Ball.
The last two can only be released by the Ten-Tails.
Even the Nine-Tailed Fox can usually only condense a large Tailed Beast Ball.
As for ordinary tailed beasts, several of them need to unite to release a large tailed beast ball together.
now.
In just a few seconds, a large Tailed Beast Ball comparable to the size of the Nine-Tailed Fox took shape.
At the same time, high in the sky.
The cone-shaped Tailed Beast Ball shot out by the Ten-Tails just happened to pierce through the darkness, pass through the clouds, and shoot down at a high speed.
"Give it to me!"
"Bam—!"
Naruto aimed in the direction and fired out his large Tailed Beast Ball.
After a while.
The two tailed beast balls collided precisely in the sky thousands of meters high!
The large tailed beast ball that the Nine-Tails hastily condensed was still smaller than the conical tailed beast ball of the Ten-Tails.
But it's enough.
Because Naruto didn't intend to take on this conical tailed beast ball head-on.
You just need to use your Tailed Beast Ball to knock it off course, forcing it to deviate from its original trajectory and land in an area far away from Konoha Village.
next moment.
The conical Tailed Beast Ball, whose trajectory had shifted, indeed fell into the Death Forest, ten thousand meters away to the right of Konoha Village.
"boom--!"
An extremely exaggerated explosion rose up, dazzling light burst out, the night sky in the distance was completely illuminated, and the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted, turning into pieces of gray and white light and shadows reflected on the retinas of a large number of Konoha ninjas.
The area of dozens of kilometers around the explosion was reduced to ashes in an instant, and even several small hills disappeared completely.
After a few seconds.
An even more terrifying shock wave spread to the entire Konoha Village, instantly destroying and blowing away a large number of temporary tents and wooden houses.
Fortunately, the more than a thousand ninjas left in Konoha Village at this moment are all elite, otherwise they would probably be blown away.
On this day, all Konoha ninjas remembered the fear of being dominated by the Tailed Beast Balls!
But fortunately, with the reminder and power of the Nine-Tails, Naruto, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast, was able to use his own tailed beast ball to deflect the attack and successfully blocked the conical tailed beast ball.
If it were to fall into Konoha Village.
I'm afraid that except for Naruto and Edo Tensei Jiraiya, everyone in the village will die instantly!
……
...
At the same time, through the perspective of Edo Tensei Jiraiya.
Nagato also witnessed Naruto transform into the Nine-Tails and successfully block the conical Tailed Beast Ball.
Obviously, Edo Tensei Jirai is not only a chakra GPS, but can also act as an observation camera after Nagato's attack.
"Um?!!"
"That guy Naruto, has he become a perfect Jinchūriki? Has he completely mastered the power of the Nine-Tails?"
"It's so fast..."
"Are you worthy of being my junior brother?"
Edo Tensei Nagato was slightly moved, but was not too surprised. After all, he knew that Naruto would eventually become the Seventh Hokage.
It is normal for such a child of prophecy to be gifted.
"What? Naruto? Can he block such a huge Tailed Beast Ball? Impossible... even if it's me..."
Hearing this, Sasuke next to him became excited first.
He doubted himself because of Naruto's exaggerated performance.
Even for Sasuke now, he wouldn't be sure he could withstand the cone-shaped tailed beast ball just now.
How could he possibly stop Naruto, who he hadn't seen for just half a month?
Could it be that in such a short period of time, his strength had increased explosively? Had he surpassed me once again?
Then what am I?
Wouldn't that make him a clown again?
Sasuke couldn't accept it at all, and didn't want to believe it...
"It doesn't matter. The Nine-Tails can't compare to the Ten-Tails."
"The next strike will destroy Konoha!"
Nagato waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to worry.
The conical tailed beast ball can be bounced off its course by the large tailed beast ball, but the giant tailed beast ball that is dozens of times larger in size will not.
Ordinary tailed beast ball is as small as trying to hit a pebble the size of a house in front of the giant tailed beast ball.
Therefore, as long as the giant Tailed Beast Ball is released, it will surely destroy Konoha in one blow!
Ever since.
Nagato immediately controlled the Ten-Tails, preparing to transform into the third form that would be enough to release the giant Tailed Beast Ball.
However, as its form changes, the more it transforms into a sacred tree, the more violent the Ten-Tails will become, and it will become more difficult to control.
Without a physical body, Nagato couldn't guarantee that he could control the third form of the Ten-Tails for a long time.
therefore.
The next strike will destroy Konoha!
