Naruto: Start By Punching Trees And Shocking Kurama!

On the other side, Naruto and Sasuke were working together to pin a monster to the ground.

Naruto had to admit that the monster created by Orochimaru is really something.

This was the first time he had encountered something with this much raw strength.

He and Sasuke took a lot of effort to catch this thing. It was even harder to catch than a running chicken.

"Sasuke, keep holding it."

After saying this, Naruto took out a bottle of Weakness Potion in his left hand and a Golden Apple in his right.

Since he worried about being bitten, he also took out a Netherite Rod to pry open the monster's mouth.

"Ghh..."

"Roar…"

The white monster's roar was abruptly cut off as Naruto jammed the rod between its teeth.

After that, he used the rod to pry open the monster's mouth, and then directly stuffed the Weakness Potion and the Golden Apple into it.

However, the monster's mouth is only slightly bigger than that of a normal person, and it is completely unable to swallow these two things.

With that in mind, Naruto aimed at the monster's mouth and stomped on it several times.

He didn't stop until the Weakness Potion and the Golden Apple were completely pulverized.

Sasuke, who was holding the monster down, flinched at the brutality.

He had no idea why Naruto was going through all this trouble.

Feeling the monster beneath him stop struggling, Sasuke hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Naruto..."

"Did you just stomp it to death?"

"No way?"

"Its head's still there, isn't it?!"

Naruto crouched down, looked at the monster's mangled face, and delivered his expert diagnosis.

But within two seconds after they finished speaking, the two were suddenly blown away by a powerful gust of air.

"ROOAARR…"

The monster, that had just stopped struggling, stood up again. And judging from its aura...

It seems to be even stronger than before.

"See?!"

"I told you it wasn't dead!"

Sasuke: "..."

'Are you focusing on the wrong thing here?!'

'The issue wasn't whether it was dead…'

'It's that the monster had become stronger!!'

Sasuke really wanted to kick Naruto in the face now.

At this point, he was convinced Naruto was just here to make things worse.

Seeing Sasuke's expression, Naruto scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

'Sh*t!'

'So this monster isn't actually a zombie?!'

Looking at the empowered monster, Naruto sighed and slowly moved his hands to his waist.

'Never mind, let's kill this monster first.'

But at this moment, the two suddenly found that the ground began to shake violently, and the surrounding rocks rushed into the sky.

The effect was even more intense in the city, as countless white monsters lost all gravity and drifted into the sky like macabre balloons.

"HOLY SH**…!!"

"CHIBAKU TENSEI!?"

The all-too-familiar technique made both Naruto and Sasuke yell in unison.

Naruto never expected that Nagato would come to the Land of Grass.

'What the hell was this?'

'Five Great Shinobi Villages haven't even moved, and Pain's already here?'

'Moreover, the range of this Chibaku Tensei is quite powerful, directly covering the entire Land of Grass.'

'If we hadn't been on the outskirts, we'd have been sucked up into that floating grave too.'

Seeing that the situation was not good, Naruto quickly ran away with Sasuke.

Sasuke looked up at the big ball in the air as he ran, and felt envious again.

'Damn it!'

'I really want this Ninjutsu!!'

Another day, another 'I wish I could use Chibaku Tensei' moment for Sasuke.

'And judging by the scale...'

'This one seems to be even more powerful than those used by that middle-aged cripple at that time.'

'It's a pity that according to that middle-aged cripple, I will have to wait for a few more years if I wants to awaken the Rinnegan.'

After running out of range, Naruto's expression was very unnatural.

Judging from the big ball in the sky, it is not difficult to imagine that Nagato had paid a heavy price for this.

Naruto estimated that if Nagato continued like this, he might not be able to survive until the day when he went to Konoha.

Inside the Land of Grass, all the white monsters had been sucked into the Chibaku Tensei.

Only Orochimaru's mutated form was still roaring on the ground.

At this time, its body had swollen to nearly five meters tall, and there are eight white snakes growing on its back. A normal person would be scared to death just by looking at it.

It glared at Pain in the sky and let out an enraged shriek.

Pain, who was floating in the sky, was already sweating profusely behind his back.

The Chibaku Tensei consumed too much Chakra just now, so he was now unable to use any high-powered Ninjutsu.

Thankfully, the rest of the Akatsuki had arrived in time.

Soon, they had the monstrous snake surrounded.

Every member wore a grave expression as they looked at the abomination before them.

If their leader had not acted in time, they might've been worn down by the endless horde of monsters.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and rushed towards the mutant Orochimaru.

…

After Uchiha Itachi used Amaterasu, he immediately retreated to the outskirts and began slacking off.

It can't be helped.

This monster doesn't have eyes, so Genjutsu have no effect on it.

And he also wants to leave these eyes to Sasuke.

So it's impossible for him to use all his strength here.

Itachi's mood grew complicated as he watched his teammates fighting fiercely.

As a professional double agent, he wasn't even sure how to define the Akatsuki anymore.

Just as Itachi was watching the battle, the sound of birds chirping suddenly sounded around him, followed by Sasuke's 'polite' greeting.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

"You're nothing but a joke!"

"DIE!"

Before the words fully left his mouth, Sasuke had already appeared in front of Itachi and threw out a handful of quicklime powder.

Sasuke had already imagined Itachi writhing in pain, but when he looked up, he saw the goggles on the other party's face...

In an instant, Sasuke's brain short-circuited.

He never expected Itachi to pull this move on him.

The quicklime powder tactic, which had been tried and tested, finally suffered an unprecedented failure at this moment.

Itachi didn't even blink as he raised his foot and kicked Sasuke in the stomach.

Sasuke, who was still in a daze, was kicked five meters away on the spot.

In order to prevent his little brother from joining the battle on the Akatsuki's side, Itachi considerately lured Sasuke further toward the outskirts.

"My foolish little brother..."

"Do you really think such underhanded tricks could defeat me?"

"TAKE OFF THOSE DAMN GOGGLES BEFORE YOU SAY THAT!"

Itachi: "…"

Sasuke started cursing as he got up from the ground, while his hand dug into another pocket.

'Heh...'

'Does he really think that wearing goggles will be useful?'

Sasuke had prepared more than just quicklime powder.

There are also a lot of special powders made from croton powder, which will cause uncontrollable diarrhea as long as one sniffed it.

This move was inspired by his fight with Urashiki.

But he didn't dare use this trick on Naruto.

Because Naruto actually got hit...

Sasuke felt that there was a high probability that he would be beaten to death on the spot.

"So you've truly fallen into depravity in pursuit of power…"

"My foolish little brother..."

"Before these eyes, you stand no chance."

Itachi delivered his usual 'disappointed big brother' lines and slowly walked towards him.

Meanwhile, after Sasuke swallowed a pill, he picked up the Heavy Xuan Ruler again and rushed forward.

As he activated Three Thousand Lightning Movements, he scattered his special powder everywhere.

He was unsure if the Itachi in front of him was real, so he just sprinkled the powder around as much as possible.

Itachi, who is hiding in the dark, shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.

Deciding it was time to end this, Itachi activated his Mangekyo and was about to ambush Sasuke with a Tsukuyomi.

But after taking only two steps, his stomach suddenly rumbled.

Gurgle… Gurgle…

Itachi's expression changed drastically in an instant.

His stomach churned violently, as if everything inside was about to burst out at once.

Without another word, Itachi abandoned Sasuke on the spot and ran into the woods with awkward steps.
