Is It Funny? Is It Amusing? What Do You Take Life For?!

"Gentle Fist - Twin Lions - Collapse!"

Hinata's breathing quickened slightly as she thrust the lion's head, formed from highly concentrated Chakra, toward Raiga.

That wasn't all. The instant the Lion's Head was released, Hinata immediately unleashed a series of overlapping Sun-Character Straight Punches.

The already incredibly fast Lion Head Shockwave, amplified by the combined power of the Inch Power Eight Gates, formed an air cannon that hurtled towards Raiga Kurosuki.

"Are you kidding me!"

When Raiga Kurosuki saw this attack coming, he instantly lost his composure.

With a wave of his hand, he swung Raiga, Thunderstorm Tornado veered off course and crashed into Twin Lions Air Cannon.

Boom--

The Thunderstorm Tornado was directly torn apart by the air cannon, and the tornado shattered into a whirlwind that swept in all directions. Raiga Kurosuki watched in horror as his Ninjutsu was broken just like that.

"Chidori: Sharp Spear!"

Sasuke had already activated his Activated Mark, seized the opportunity when Raiga was momentarily stunned, and his Chidori transformed into the shape of a spear, directly stabbing towards the Raiga Kurosuki's hand.

"Pfft!"

Raiga Kurosuki out a miserable cry as his Raiga-ya flew out of his hand, spinning as it plunged directly into the ground.

"Now!" Sasuke shouted.

Buzz--

Rasengan imbued with Wind Nature appeared before Raiga. Naruto's face was filled with rage as he hurled the Wind Release: Rasengan at Raiga with all his might.

"Ah!"

The series of attacks caught Raiga completely off guard, and in the next instant, the Rasengan struck him squarely in the chest, sending him plummeting from the sky with a scream.

Snap--

Naruto, panting heavily, looked at Raiga lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and only then did the anger in his eyes gradually subside.

Sasuke then used a Body Flicker Technique, pinning Raiga's hand to the ground with two Kunai.

Only then did she look up at Naruto, and just as she opened her mouth to say something, Naruto turned around and walked to the mound of earth to the side.

They carefully dug away the mound of earth that belonged to the person who had just seen the arm, and then reburied him.

"Don't worry, this guy who toyed with life won't hurt anyone again." Naruto said softly, looking at the mounds of earth in front of him that were clearly fresh graves.

Hinata, who had come to Naruto's Naruto, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then stood gently beside him.

Sasuke, standing to the side, silently watched Naruto without saying anything, but a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

This Dead Last isn't completely stupid.

Without the Lightning Release of Raikou-kiri, the sunlight was finally able to dispel the fog that had gathered in the valley and slowly shine down.

"Hey, you brats from Konoha, who are you...?"

Covered in wounds and with his chakra completely disorganized and rendered powerless, Chakra Raiga Kurosuki asked.

He couldn't understand how he had been defeated so quickly.

Moreover, they were defeated by a few unknown kids.

Sasuke merely glanced at Raiga, showing no intention of speaking.

Upon hearing Raiga's question, Naruto stepped forward, his anger, which had subsided, rising again. He looked at Raiga on the ground and asked...

Why did you do that?!

"... Why did you do that?" Raiga Kurosuki was taken aback when he heard Naruto's question, then opened his mouth and burst into maniacal laughter.

"I killed them, then gave them a grand funeral; that's the greatest tribute I can give them!"

"I am the one who gave meaning to their deaths!"

Sasuke frowned, while Hinata looked at Naruto with some concern.

Looking at Raiga, who had a crazy yet serious expression, Naruto remained silent for a long time. The absurd and comical person in front of him aroused an instinctive anger in him.

"Is it funny? Is it interesting? What do you take life for?!"

Naruto Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of Raiga Kurosuki, who was pinned to the ground, his right hand raised high, his anger undisguised.

This act of arbitrarily trampling on other people's lives, and even insulting them after their death, completely violates his long-held beliefs!

"Stop talking nonsense! A real funeral isn't like this! You're just a pathetic and pathetic bastard!"

Boom--

The Yang Release Armament, imbued with Inch Force -range strike, directly slammed into Raiga's chest from a distance, producing a soft cracking sound.

Raiga's crazed expression gradually emptied, and in his dying moments, he desperately wanted to rebuke the brat before him.

What gives them the right to deny his ideals and his funeral?

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

Naruto was panting heavily, and it took him a while to straighten up.

"Naruto..." Sasuke, unusually, didn't address the Dead Last name, his voice tinged with worry.

"Ah! It's alright. This kind of person is even worse than a simple evildoer. Didn't the teacher say that?"

"A bastard who can't even see his own heart isn't worth saving!"

As he spoke, Naruto revealed his usual smile, showing no discomfort whatsoever from having just taken a life.

Seeing this, Sasuke finally breathed a sigh of relief. Naruto was unexpectedly decisive...

"Looks like it's perfectly resolved!"

A friendly voice rang out, Hagoromo slowly approached with a warm smile on her face.

"Teacher!"

Upon seeing Hagoromo, Naruto and the others rushed over, greeting him with smiles on their faces.

"It seems everyone performed very well; all the training you've done has paid off."

Hagoromo calmly looked at Raiga, who had already lost all signs of life on the ground, and reached out to pat the heads of her disciples.

"Well done."

Hearing Hagoromo's praise, Naruto chuckled and scratched the back of his head before remembering something.

"Teacher, I killed that guy, but we still haven't found the chameleon."

It was only then that Naruto remembered that their mission was supposed to be to take down the chameleon.

"It's alright, it's been resolved."

Hagoromo took out a scroll and tossed it in her hand.

While Naruto and his friends were fighting Raiga Kurosuki, Hagoromo followed the clues and found Chameleon, who was recuperating in secret.

Fortunately, Raiga had already injured him, so Hagoromo didn't need to put in much effort.

Hearing this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the mission was accomplished.

Hagoromo stepped forward, glanced at Raiga Kurosuki Akatsuki cloak, and shook her head.

Just like Naruto said, he's just a pathetic bastard.

By sealing Jonin Raiga Kurosuki's corpse with a scroll, even if a traitorous Kirigakure wasn't S-rank, would still be considered an A-rank mission upon returning.

Furthermore, Raiga Kurosuki is currently a member of the Akatsuki, and might even be classified as S-rank mission based on the current assessment of the Akatsuki.

"This ninja is a member of the Akatsuki who has been wanted by all the major ninja villages recently."

Hagoromo turned to her disciples and spoke. Naruto and Hinata were stunned, while Sasuke looked on in disbelief.

Akatsuki?!

"Teacher, what is the Akatsuki?" Naruto asked with a puzzled look, as this was the first time he had heard of it.

Hinata nearby, was in the same boat, as this was their first time leaving the village, and information about the Akatsuki had only been circulating among the Jonin.

"Teacher, are all the Akatsuki like this?"

Sasuke stepped forward and asked, having heard from his father that his brother was an undercover agent in this organization.
