Chapter 448 The Scarlet Sand Scorpion, Let Me Deal With It Alone! (3 in 1)
Naruto's eyes widened in shock. He thought that his punch could directly break through the rock blocking the cave, but he didn't expect that the punch entangled with Armament Haki only left a crack under the surface of the rock.
"how come……"
Naruto blinked, the power of his punch was enough to punch a steel plate into a C shape.
But facing the rock in front of him, the result he expected did not appear.
From the looks of it, the rock Akatsuki used to block the cave was not just an ordinary rock.
It should be a special stone body with relatively high hardness.
However, Naruto was just surprised in his heart.
He was still using Moonwalk to stand in the air, staring slightly.
Then he covered his own Chakra on his hands and fused with Armament Haki.
After adjusting his breathing a little, Naruto clenched his fists again.
Sunagakure's Yulong and others, as well as Sasuke and Xiang Rin, all looked at Naruto in mid-air.
Although Naruto failed to destroy the rock with one punch, the cracks that almost covered the entire rock made Yu Long and others feel incredible.
"How exaggerated is this brat's punching power..."
"Although he punched the road before, the streets of the village are mostly made of sand, which doesn't have much hardness in itself, but the thing blocking the entrance of the cave is rock."
"Yeah, hardness is not a concept at all, but under the attack of that brat, it shattered, which is amazing."
Sunagakure Ninja started a discussion with each other.
All were amazed by the power of Naruto.
However, judging by Naruto's performance, this Konoha kid, who is less than 1.4 meters tall, seems to have not exerted his full strength.
Judging by his posture, it is clear that he is determined to destroy this rock.
"This brat's physique is too exaggerated."
You Long rolled his throat and swallowed nervously.
He stared at Naruto's figure, feeling ashamed in his heart.
Such a hard rock body, if it was him.
If he punched down, he was afraid that his fist would be bloody.
There is simply no harm without comparison.
"Naruto..." Sasuke sat cross-legged on the ground, doing so much to recover his strength and Chakra for the next battle.
that's it……
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Naruto swung his clenched fist again.
Unbiased, right in the center of the rock!
Rumble!
The deafening bang echoed in everyone's ears.
Since Naruto joined the Chakra loudspeaker this time, it complements Armament Haki.
The surging force poured into the front of the rock.
The entire mountain shook abruptly.
The fissures that were already covering the rock became deeper and wider.
It is unavoidably shocking.
And after two or three breaths, the cracks that appeared above penetrated deep into the core of the rock.
A complete stone body becomes torn apart.
Rumble!
Accompanied by bursts of loud noises, the rocks in front of everyone began to disintegrate and scattered downward.
All Sand Shinobi who saw this scene were stunned, and were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time!
A ray of sunlight swayed from the sky and directly shone into the cave.
Although the hole inside is not small, it is not deep, and the sunlight that penetrates can just fill the inner space here.
Naruto, who was standing at the entrance with Moonwalk, was the first to see the interior clearly with the help of the light that filled the cave.
Except for the red sand scorpion and Deidara, the other members of the Akatsuki organization all manifested in the Magic Lantern Body Technique.
Even if Naruto looked at it at a glance, he could see only colorful phantoms.
He raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding why these people behaved like this.
but……
He quickly looked around, and soon found a familiar silhouette among the crowd organized by Akatsuki.
"Are you... Uchiha Itachi?!"
All of a sudden, Naruto couldn't help exclaiming, his brain felt buzzing, and he couldn't figure out what happened.
Didn’t Sasuke just now defeated Itachi on the other side?
Why did Itachi appear here intact?
Could it be related to the unknown dead man?
And just when Naruto exclaimed the name Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and recovering Chakra, also changed his face.
Not only did his eyes double in size, but he also used some of the strength he had recovered with great difficulty to run over.
In an instant, Sasuke came to the ruins formed after the rock collapsed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the situation inside the cave.
As Naruto exclaimed.
He did see a guy with the exact profile of Uchiha Itachi.
"Itachi? What's going on here?"
Almost subconsciously, Sasuke asked Itachi loudly.
Hope he can give himself an explanation.
Itachi, who was helping Akatsuki to seal the tailed beast, also noticed Naruto and Sasuke at this time.
"The ninja you just met is not my real body."
"That's just a copy made by turning the Technique with an elephant."
"Although the Chakra I have is only half of mine, I should give you a little compliment for being able to defeat such a clone, Sasuke."
Itachi said lightly.
The tone was calm without any fluctuations.
As if to state a trivial matter.
But Sasuke heard another meaning from these words.
With his current strength, just being able to defeat Itachi's clone was enough to shock him.
"Xiangchang Technique..." Naruto chanted what Itachi said.
I suddenly understood in my heart.
Why did the Itachi just now become another person.
At the same time, he also realizes that the real Uchiha Itachi is not in the Land of Winds at all.
Including the Itachi he and Sasuke see now, it is just a phantom.
"Sasuke, calm down."
Worried that Sasuke would rush in directly, Naruto specially reminded him to be calm.
Although most of the time, he is the one who is more impulsive, but when it comes to Itachi, it is Sasuke who is impulsive.
In order to defeat Itachi's clone just now, Sasuke even forced the body to use the Hell Spike - One Kanshou.
That move not only consumed all of Sasuke's Chakra, but also put a huge load on his body.
If at this time, he breaks into the cave rashly.
Otherwise, they will be betrayed by these Xiao organizations, and they will be resolved on the spot.
In fact, this kind of thing doesn't need Naruto to remind at all.
At this time, Sasuke felt it was difficult just to stand up, and his legs felt a little weak.
Not to mention rushing into the cave.
Now it is normal walking, even Sasuke can hardly do it.
As for Yulong and others sent by Sunagakure, they also appeared behind Sasuke and looked into the cave.
They care more about Gaara than members of Akatsuki.
Seeing that Gaara was floating in the air, the Tailed Beast was extracted by the Akatsuki organization.
You Long's face also became furious.
"You devils!"
Watch as the Tailed Beast Chakra is detached from Gaara's eyes, ears, muzzle, and sucked into an unknown stone statue.
You Long also became worried.
Almost an instinctive reaction of the body, he took out a sharp kunai from the ninja bag and threw it at one of the members of the Akatsuki organization.
The target happened to be Payne as the leader.
call out!
Kunai made a sound of breaking the air, and quickly passed through Payne, and nailed it to the wall behind him.
In any case, Payne who appears here will be a virtual image formed by the technique of the magic lamp body.
rather than his entity.
Whether Yulong's kunai or ninjutsu will not cause substantial harm to him.
However, the red sand scorpion and Deidara's body are actually guarding Gaara's side.
You Long looked at his Kunai as if passing through a shadow, passing through Payne.
The whole person was also shocked.
But he soon noticed that it was different from Payne and others.
The red sand scorpion and Deidara are the only ones who don't have six colors.
Although he didn't know the Magic Lantern Technique or the existence of Rinnegan, he could see the difference between them.
Realizing this, You Long focused his sight on the Red Sand Scorpion.
This red-haired boy, who looked like he was only in his teens, immediately became his target.
The second kunai appeared in his hand.
Naruto, Sasuke, Xiang Rin, and other Sand Shinobi's attention are also focused on Yulong's movements.
In terms of strength, an Elite Jōnin like You Long is not enough to kill the Scarlet Sand Scorpion.
However, the current Red Sand Scorpion couldn't move because of the fact that it was pulling away from the Gaara tailed beast.
His hands need to keep the knot seal in order for the magic dragon nine seals to continue.
"Scorpion, Deidara."
"The seal is temporarily suspended."
Seeing this, Payne hastily interrupted the seal with an orderly tone and with the power of Rinnegan.
Anyway, they have already drawn 90% of Shukura Chakra.
The remaining amount of Chakra can be drawn out in just a few hours.
Although he was not happy about being interrupted, he had to accept the reality at the moment.
So Payne forcibly cut off Shukura Chakra.
Swallow about 90% of the Chakra into the Gedo Statue.
And the rest of Shukuru Chakra all returned to Gaara's body.
However, due to Gaara's injury is too serious.
Although the tail beast Chakra returned to his body, it still did not change his unconscious state.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Gaara fell from midair to the ground.
"Take Gaara away."
Payne looked at Gaara on the ground, and then gave new instructions to the red sand scorpion, Deidara.
That is to retreat with Gaara.
At the same time, the interruption of the Nine Seals of the Illusory Dragon allowed the Red Sand Scorpion to regain its freedom.
He just turned his head slightly, and easily avoided the flying Kunai.
call out!
With the second sound of breaking through the air, Youlong's Kunai was nailed to the rock wall of the cave again.
The technique of the magic lamp body was also contacted by Payne at this moment.
The Akatsuki members who appeared here disappeared one by one.
Until only the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara are left.
"Brother Scorpion, what should we do now? Hmm." Deidara scanned a circle of enemies.
Naturally, those ninjas in Sunagakure don't have to worry about it.
Although Sasuke defeated Itachi's elephant turn, his body also paid the price.
Very weak now.
But that Konoha Jōnin, whom Kisame described as a monster, and Naruto, and the two Jinchūriki.
Now they are all alive and well.
It looks like it's not easy to deal with.
Moreover, this is still a semi-enclosed space. In a real fight, neither he nor the Scarlet Sand Scorpion can perform well.
But this is not a problem in the eyes of the Red Sand Scorpion.
He glanced at Deidara, then pulled a dark green scroll from his pocket.
"You take Gaara out of here first, and I will meet you later."
The Scarlet Sand Scorpion's tone was very calm, as if he didn't take the enemy in front of him seriously at all.
But he was very clear in his heart...
Deidara didn't get a chance to replenish the detonating clay along the way.
He endured the clay in the bag, and there was not much left.
Unable to fight for long periods of time.
Secondly, if Deidara retreats here, Konoha Squad 7 will also divide into two teams to pursue Deidara.
It is equivalent to dispersing the enemy's combat power invisibly.
It is true that the Red Sand Scorpion is a puppet master, but he is also a ninja with rich combat experience.
In just one short breath, he thought of the most beneficial tactic for him.
While speaking, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion spread out the dark green scroll in his hand bit by bit.
I saw a big "three" written in the very center of the scroll.
"I see, Brother Scorpion, yes."
Seeing this, Deidara put both hands into the ninja bag at the same time, and nodded towards the red sand scorpion.
Let him be careful.
In the next second, Deidara rushed towards Gaara on the ground.
Both hands were also taken out of the ninja bag.
The mouth in his palm seemed to be chewing something.
Then it poured on the ground, like a ball of milky white mucus, and finally expanded rapidly and hardened.
Before a few people had time to react, the thing spit out from the mouth of Deidara's palm suddenly turned into a big snow-white bird.
It rolled the stunned Gaara with its own tail.
Deidara jumped on the bird's back, ready to take Gaara away first.
Although those Konoha Shinobi are very powerful, he believes that the Red Sand Scorpion, who can make puppets of the strongest Kazekage in history, will surely win.
not to mention……
The red sand scorpion's hole card is not only the third Kazekage.
"Where to go?"
However, Naruto will not let Deidara go.
Watching the strange bird flap its wings, Naruto quickly stepped on the Moonwalk and chased after Deidara.
"You Konoha brat, your abilities are really strange, eh."
Seeing Naruto blocking his way, Deidara couldn't help complaining.
Although he has seen flying ninjas before, the difference from the ninja he remembers is...
Naruto's feet seem to be able to step on the air as if walking on the ground.
And the people he knew were floating in mid-air.
Of course, no matter how Naruto did it, it wouldn't change his mind of retreating.
Even, Deidara had a premonition that Naruto would stop her long before Naruto acted.
So while making the big bird, he also used detonating clay to make another bomb creature.
Flying centipede.
"Look at your calves, kid, eh."
Deidara met Naruto's eyes, and said in an unhurried tone.
After being reminded by Deidara, Naruto felt a little heavy on his calf as if being pulled by something.
He glanced subconsciously, but saw a snow-white centipede wrapping around his calf.
And still climbing.
It was his movement that gave him the feeling of falling.
"drink!"
And Deidara will not be merciful, he immediately detonated the clay martial arts the moment Naruto looked away.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion resounded throughout the cave, and a cloud of thick smoke scattered from Naruto's body, engulfing his figure directly.
But at this time Deidara can't take care of collecting Nine Tails.
He detonated all the clay bombs that had been placed above the cave in advance.
Rumble!
Louder and stronger explosions poured into everyone's ears.
Let them not only feel the hum of the brain.
Immediately afterwards, the rock mass blasted by Deidara crashed down, and the entire cave collapsed severely under his fixed-point blasting!
"It's spectacular, um."
However, after seeing such a scene, Deidara just admired it sincerely.
The big bird under his feet flapped its wings, carefully avoiding the chaotic rocks, and flew towards the sky.
You Long, and others, also used various ninjutsu to protect themselves.
In addition to the falling rocks, there are also billowing thick smoke rising into the sky.
Block all their sights.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deidara soared into the sky and took Gaara to the sky.
Although he doesn't know why Naruto can walk on the ground in the air, but in his opinion, Naruto's Moonwalk should not fly too high.
Moreover, it seems that the only ninjas with that ability are Naruto and Sasuke.
At least those Sand Shinobi can't do it.
"That yellow-haired brat got blown up by my clay bomb."
"Shouldn't be chasing after him, um."
Deidara glanced down at the situation.
Because of the occlusion of the thick smoke, he couldn't see clearly the scene after the explosion.
However, he guessed in his heart that Naruto was probably seriously injured now.
He said he would catch up, but he didn't really believe it.
However, the reality is quite the opposite.
Naruto did not dodge Deidara's clay bomb, but at the moment of premonition of danger.
He decisively used the iron body of the six styles to harden his body.
Forcibly resisting part of the explosion damage.
But he just resisted most of the damage.
His pants were still shattered into pieces by the centipede's self-explosion.
Then it was burned in the fire.
And his skin, muscles, also appeared obvious burns.
Although the problem is not big, but there will still be a faint feeling of pain.
But in any case, compared with those ninjas in Sunagakure, his situation can be regarded as a pretty good one.
Except for Yulong, most of Sand Shinobi were hit by falling rocks.
Although they thought of various ways to avoid the harm, it was useless after all.
All of them lost consciousness on the spot and passed out in the ruins.
Even an Elite Jōnin like You Long is still bleeding.
Every inhale and exhale seemed very hasty.
As for Karin and Sasuke.
At the critical moment, he was protected by Namikaze Minato.
At this time, he absorbed the natural energy in the natural world and turned on Sage Mode.
Even the body of Impure World Reincarnation is not that weak.
He insisted on resisting all the boulders that were about to fall on the two of them.
"Naruto, are you okay?"
After confirming that Sasuke and Xianglin are safe and sound, Namikaze Minato quickly asked Naruto.
Logically speaking, Naruto is his son.
At the most critical moment, as a father, he should protect Naruto.
Considering that Sasuke is weak, Xianglin is a girl.
Namikaze Minato, chose to believe in Naruto.
"I'm fine."
Soon, Naruto's response came into his ear canal.
The clear and powerful voice made Namikaze Minato's nervous heart feel relieved.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed that Deidara not only flew into the air, but also got farther and farther away.
But also because Deidara blasted the entire cave, the visibility here has become better than before.
The rising smoke gradually dissipated under the breeze.
Namikaze Minato quickly looked around and saw the situation clearly.
You Long and the three Sand Shinobi were still awake, and the others either passed out.
Or die on the spot.
Naruto is still standing in mid-air with Moonwalk.
Sasuke and Karin sat slumped beside her.
The red sand scorpion who thought it would be affected by the rock.
Then he stood unharmed not far away.
Namikaze Minato stared slightly.
He suddenly noticed that on top of the head of the red sand scorpion, there was a huge cylinder made of black sand and iron.
It was that thing that helped the Red Sand Scorpion block the falling rock mass.
"That Deidara is really messed up."
The red sand scorpion glanced at the direction Deidara was leaving, and Jōnin couldn't help complaining.
And beside him, there is a humanoid puppet floating.
Except for the darker color, Namikaze Minato, Yulong and other Sand Shinobi all recognized this human puppet.
exactly...
Third Kazekage, known as the strongest wind shadow in history!
"Three, Lord Third Kazekage."
When You Long saw this, his eyes widened in shock, his mouth opened slightly, and he gasped.
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized...
Deidara taking Gaara away is certainly hateful.
But the red sand scorpion who stayed behind to delay the time was a real monster.
Becoming his enemy is equivalent to challenging two strong men with Kage-level strength at the same time.
But……
If they stay here to fight the red sand scorpion, they may never chase Deidara back.
For a moment, You Long couldn't help being in a dilemma.
But at this moment, after Namikaze Minato thought for a while, he said to everyone, "Leave this to me, and you guys go after Deidara."
He decided to stay alone and face the Scarlet Sand Scorpion!
It has to be said that such an idea, in the eyes of You Long and others, is tantamount to suicide.
"Are you crazy?!"
You Long rolled his throat and nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"This is the only way to save Gaara." Namikaze Minato glanced at Yulong and said without thinking.
