"What?"
After completing the hand seals, Ino felt her spirit suddenly leave her body and shoot straight toward Naruto. Just as she thought she could invade Naruto's mind, she felt her spirit slam into an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron.
The impact made her spirit sway violently.
Yet she simply could not enter Naruto's body.
How could she have known that, although the Indestructible Body sounded like a body-tempering technique, that was not actually the case? It cultivated both body and spirit. The body was the spirit, and the spirit was the body; body and spirit became one, and from then on, no technique could destroy them.
That was the Indestructible Body.
Even if Ino had managed to enter Naruto's mind, so what? With Ino's spirit, weak as a flickering candle flame, facing Naruto's spirit, brilliant as the blazing sun—
The outcome was obvious.
At that moment, five shuriken struck Naruto. Five crisp, rapid clangs rang out, and the shuriken bounced away as though they had hit iron or stone.
"What?"
Sakura's pupils contracted, her face full of disbelief. This...
Naruto had blocked shuriken with his bare body?
The next second, Sakura's brows twitched, and she thought, Oh no... Naruto had just taken the shuriken when his feet moved. Startled Swan activated instantly, and he darted straight in front of Sakura. Then he lowered his body, flipped, and spun.
"Bang..."
Scorpion Tail Sweep.
Sakura took a Scorpion Tail Sweep to the shoulder and flew backward. She landed lightly on the ground without being injured. Clearly, Naruto had held back that kick.
After sending Sakura flying, Naruto used another Body Flicker and arrived beside Ino. Ino had just returned to her body. Seeing Naruto charging at her, she panicked and raised her leg, kicking toward his chest and abdomen.
