A visible white shockwave suddenly spread out from the two people, blowing away the roof of the remaining house below!
When his first attack failed, Naruto changed his tactics!
Fists, feet, elbows, knees... every part of his body was transformed into the most lethal weapon, and golden light and shadow completely enveloped Shi Luo!
Shiro's response was equally concise and efficient. His movements seemed slow, but he always managed to block or deflect Naruto's attacks at just the right moment.
Even occasional counterattacks contain the power to split mountains and shatter rocks!
Boom boom boom——! ! !
The two engaged in a primal and ferocious hand-to-hand combat in the air!
Each collision unleashed a thunderous roar, and the dissipated energy shockwaves raged on, ravaging the outer area of Konoha below, leaving the earth cracked and dust billowing everywhere!
Naruto grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; his opponent's physical strength and control over his power were simply beyond his imagination.
Most of his attacks were effectively defended, while the opponent's counterattacks were incredibly powerful, causing his blood and qi to surge.
What's more troublesome is that the aftermath of the battle caused too much damage to the village!
"We can't continue fighting here!" Naruto's mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.
During a fierce exchange of blows, Naruto deliberately created an opening and took a heavy punch from Juro.
Immediately, he grabbed Shiro's arms with both hands!
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Luo's eyes, and he gathered black energy in his other hand, ready to strike!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Just before the attack was about to strike, Naruto silently recited in his mind!
The space around them distorted and blurred!
The next moment, on a barren open space on the outskirts of Konoha Village, space rippled like water, and Naruto and Shira suddenly appeared!
This is the location of the Flying Thunder God Technique coordinates that Naruto secretly left behind!
The attack that Rona was originally aiming at Naruto missed due to the instantaneous spatial shift, and slammed heavily into the ground, causing a violent explosion!
Naruto, using the momentum from the Flying Thunder God Technique, released his grip and retreated, creating distance between himself and Juro.
Shiro slowly emerged from the smoke and dust of the explosion, looking down at his arm that Naruto had just grabbed.
He looked up at Naruto, who was standing guard not far away, and for the first time, a subtle change appeared on his usually indifferent face.
"Oh? The Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Shiro's voice remained calm, but carried a clear hint of inquiry: "This is truly strange. Based on all the information I have, Naruto Uzumaki..."
"Or rather, the normal Seventh Hokage in this timeline should not be proficient in, or even be able to use, the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Its eyes, which seemed to see through everything, carefully examined the golden chakra flowing around Naruto and the traces of spatial fluctuations.
"But judging from the fluency and timing of your movements just now... this level of proficiency is definitely not something achieved overnight. Who... exactly are you?"
The question posed by Shiro was like a sharp thorn, precisely aimed at Naruto.
Naruto felt a chill run down his spine, but his face remained impassive as he simply burned his golden chakra even more intensely.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
He assumed a fighting stance, his eyes sharp as knives: "The important thing is that you must stay here today!"
The battle has entered a new phase!
Chapter 393 The warm-up should end.
Looking out over the battlefield, the scene can no longer be simply described as a "battle"; it is more like a manifestation of a natural disaster.
Every clash between Naruto and Shira unleashed a devastating energy shock.
The golden and dark chakra torrents clashed and exploded against each other.
It tore the earth open with bottomless ravines and leveled the hills.
The original landscape was completely rewritten, leaving only a continuously expanding, charred crater, resembling a meteorite impact.
However, at the heart of this extreme destruction, the expressions of the two sides in the conflict presented a stark contrast.
Shi Luo maintained his unchanging indifferent expression, as if the battle before him, which was enough to terrify ordinary people, was nothing more than a leisurely stroll.
With a casual flick of its wrist, sharp nails gleaming with a dark luster extended from its five fingers.
Like five peerless blades, they shrieked as if tearing through space.
Forced to temporarily evade the attack, Naruto slid backward for more than ten meters before regaining his footing.
"As expected of the Seventh Hokage, who is hailed as the strongest."
Shi Luo spoke calmly, his tone neither praising nor stating: "His combat instincts, skills, and on-the-spot reactions are all first-rate."
"They seem to be even more troublesome than described in the intelligence."
Naruto's expression was serious, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
The intense competition took a heavy toll on him, and what alarmed him even more was that his opponent seemed to have not exerted his full strength at all.
In the instant he stepped back to release the force, he clasped his hands together without hesitation.
A high-speed spinning "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" emitting a piercing buzzing sound has already taken shape.
It flew out of his hand, transforming into a giant chakra disc that slashed towards Shira!
"Since your target is me!"
Naruto roared, his voice booming like thunder amplified by chakra: "Why did you hurt... my daughter?!"
Faced with this S-rank ninjutsu that could shred everything, Juro simply raised his other hand and grasped at the incoming Rasenshuriken in mid-air!
An invisible yet immense force field descended instantly, as if an unseen giant hand had gripped the Rasenshuriken tightly!
The rapidly spinning energy body let out a mournful cry of being overwhelmed, and the next moment, it was forcibly crushed, turning into chaotic chakra turbulence and dissipating into the air!
"Oh? I'm so sorry."
Shiro lowered his hand, his gaze seemingly piercing through space, locking onto the direction of Konoha Village once again: "I only sensed an aura in that little girl that is almost identical to yours, sharing the same origin."
"Such a pure and powerful 'coordinate' is an irresistible temptation."
"The same aura?" Naruto frowned, a huge question rising in his mind.
He learned about sensory abilities from a young age and knew that chakra aura was like everyone's fingerprint, a unique identifier.
Even biological fathers and sons who are connected by blood.
For example, Fugaku and Sasuke Uchiha had obvious differences in their chakra perception, and it was impossible for them to be "exactly the same".
Shiro's words contradicted his basic understanding of chakra!
However, just as he was distracted by this strange statement, the ground beneath his feet stirred again!
Naruto reacted extremely quickly, his chakra erupting from his feet, propelling him backward at lightning speed!
Almost as soon as he left the spot, countless thick, dark trees burst forth from the ground like tentacles reaching out from hell.
It completely swallowed up the spot where he had just been standing!
"No time to think about it!"
Naruto suppressed his doubts, and his fighting instincts took over.
Shi Luo clearly had no intention of giving him a chance to breathe, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
The next moment, seven or eight smaller, but faster-condensing, dark purple Tailed Beast Balls appeared.
They shot at Naruto from different angles with tricky precision, sealing off all his space to dodge!
"No matter how many there are, it's useless!"
Naruto's eyes flashed with fierce light as he frantically poured the Nine-Tails' chakra into his hands!
A massive Tailed Beast Ball, far larger than its opponent's, radiating golden light and exuding destructive energy, instantly condensed!
The enormous golden Tailed Beast Ball roared out like a cannonball, carrying an overwhelming force!
Wherever it passed, the air distorted, and the small Tailed Beast Balls were easily bounced off course, like waves crashing against rocks.
Clusters of fire exploded in the distant sky or on the ground!
The golden Tailed Beast Ball continued its momentum, striking Shiro solidly before he could dodge!
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
A deafening roar, more intense than any previous explosion, resounded!
The blinding golden light engulfed Shi Luo's figure, and the shockwave from the explosion spread outwards like a tsunami.
Even Naruto, who was far away, had to raise his arm to block the wind pressure!
"Did it hit?" Naruto stared intently at the center of the explosion.
However, at that moment, a deadly sense of crisis pierced Naruto's head like an ice pick!
Almost instinctively, before he could even think, his body reacted before his consciousness—he suddenly bent forward!
Five sharp black fingernails, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as they tore through the air, grazed his back, slicing his clothes in several places!
Naruto broke out in a cold sweat, rolled on the ground, and turned around at the same time!
Suddenly, Shi Luo appeared silently from a black mark that floated behind him like a spatial rift and launched a sneak attack!
"What a bizarre way of moving!"
Naruto was shocked, but his movements didn't slow down at all!
As he turned around, a highly compressed mini Tailed Beast Ball, only the size of a ping-pong ball, had already taken shape at the tip of his right index finger!
"Back to you!"
For a fleeting moment when Shiro's attack missed, he was slightly stunned.
Naruto's mini Tailed Beast Ball, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, slammed into Juro's abdomen with lightning speed!
boom--! ! !
