"Subject 01." Sasuke whispered, "It turns out to be a semi-finished product."
"Semi-finished product?" The child tilted his head, and the Black Oil on the right side suddenly boiled and turned into a huge claw. "Master Code said that I am the key to evolution. As long as I eat you, I can become a complete body."
"Eat us? Do you have all your teeth, kid?" Naruto said this, but his body was extremely tense. His intuition told him that this kid was more dangerous than any previous puppet.
"Give it a try."
The little ghost's figure flashed and disappeared directly.
"Up above!" Sasuke shouted.
Naruto looked up and saw only a black shadow covering it. The kid actually liquefied his body in mid-air and turned into a huge black net under his hood.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of Naruto appeared instantly, rushing upward like stacked arhats, trying to break through the net.
Sizzle!
The clone that comes into contact with the black network emit smoke and dissipates instantly. That Black Oil is not only corrosive, but can also drain Chakra instantly.
"Don't touch that thing!" Naruto shouted, "That's a high-concentration absorber!"
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
Sasuke A bolt of lightning cut through and tore a hole in the black net. Naruto took the opportunity to get out and rolled on the ground.
The black net fell to the ground and reassembled into the appearance of the kid. He licked his lips. "It's delicious... Even though it's just a clone, it tastes really good."
"Is this guy a bottomless pit?" Naruto gasped, "Physical attacks will be liquefied to dodge, Chakra will be absorbed. How to fight this?"
"He needs contact to absorb Chakra." Sasuke analyzed calmly, "And there is a delay in switching between liquefaction and solidification. That delay is his weakness."
"Another delay? You have such good eyesight." Naruto smiled bitterly, "But I can't run now. I spent a lot of mana just now with the clone."
"You don't need to run." Sasuke planted Kusanagi Sword on the ground and started Hand Seals with both hands. It was a complicated Indian style that he rarely used. "I will limit his movements, and you will be responsible for the final blow. Use that move."
"Which move?"
"No need Hand Seals, no need Chakra, the most original trick." Sasuke glanced at Naruto.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then grinned. "Ah, that. But now I have old arms and legs..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Here we come!"
The kid rushed over again, this time his hands turned into two huge black ice sickles, slashing at the two people with the sound of howling wind.
"Lightning Release·Kirin... Guide!"
Sasuke did not summon a lightning attack, but instead drove Lightning Release in his hand into the underground ruins conduit.
Boom!
The power system of the entire underground ruins was forcibly activated. Countless Old Era cables buried under the ice lit up, forming a huge electromagnetic field.
The kid's movements froze instantly. Although the Black Oil in his body could absorb Chakra, due to the fusion of a large number of mechanical parts and magnetic substances, his body became extremely heavy under the high-intensity magnetic field.
"That's it now, Naruto!"
Naruto took a deep breath, neither using Rasengan nor using Sage Mode. He lowered his center of gravity and assumed an extremely ancient starting position.
That was the Taijutsu that he practiced countless times in the Ninja Academy before becoming Genin, but was always laughed at.
"Uzumaki Naruto Barrage... senior version!"
Naruto rushed forward. The first kick was on the kid's chin, knocking him into the air. Then, four Shadow Clone appeared, doing an alley-oop, each kick hitting the kid's joints.
It was a purely physical blow, without any Chakra attached, so it could not be absorbed.
Finally, the Naruto body appears above the imp.
"This punch is for those who you treat as fodder!"
Naruto rounded his arm and punched the kid's mechanical prosthetic eye.
Bang!
The kid fell like a meteor and slammed into the black Tower.
The huge impact echoed in the ice cave, as if it sounded a dull death knell.
The Tower, which was solidified from Black Oil, was smashed into a big crater, and the cracks spread quickly like a spider web. The smoke and dust dispersed, and the kid named "Subject 01" was embedded in the wall. The red mechanical eye had shattered, revealing the sparking circuit inside.
"The knot... is over?" Naruto staggered when he landed on the ground. His knees softened and he almost knelt on the ground. Although the combo just now didn't use much Chakra, it put too much load on the joints.
"Don't be careless." Sasuke stared at the pothole, "His core is still beating."
Sure enough, the "corpse" in the wall moved.
That was not resurrection, but collapse. The kid's body began to twist like a melted wax statue, and the half of the skin that originally belonged to humans quickly withered and fell off, and was completely swallowed up by the black oily substance.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
The shrill screams came from the black mass, making people's scalp numb.
"Code-sama... liar... there is no evolution at all..."
The mass of material began to expand, and the surrounding black towers seemed to respond to its call. Countless black tentacles stretched out from the tower and inserted into the mass of flesh.
"Not good!" Sasuke's expression changed, "He is assimilating the entire base! He is going to blow himself up!"
"Self-explosion? Here?" Naruto looked around, there was a glacier hundreds of meters thick above, "If this explodes, there will be a big avalanche in the entire Land of Snow!"
"It's not just an avalanche." Sasuke pointed to the pipes connected to the underground. "This ruins is connected to the geothermal layer. If the balance here is broken, the underground magma will spurt out and encounter the ten thousand-year glacier above... The power of the steam explosion is enough to blow away a corner of this continent."
"What should we do? Freeze him again?" Naruto asked.
"No. He is too big, and there are no Earth Release ninjas of Kurotsuchi's level here." Sasuke gritted his teeth, "We must cut off his connection with the geothermal layer."
"Where is the connection?"
"Down below." Sasuke pointed to Root in the black tower, where there is a thick main pipe that goes deep into the ground. "That was the aorta that Land of Snow used to extract geothermal energy to make "Rainbow Chakra". Now it is occupied by this monster."
"I'm going to cut it off!" Naruto was about to rush down.
"You can't get through." Sasuke stopped him, "The surrounding area is full of high-concentration Black Oil steam. If you don't have Nine-Tails Chakra protection, you will be corroded into White Bone if you go in."
"Then let's watch it explode?"
"I'll go." Sasuke's eyes were firm, "My Susanoo can still last for a few seconds, enough for me to rush in and cut the pipe."
"No! Your current Chakra power will never come back after you open Susanoo!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke's cloak, "If you die here, Sakura will definitely kill me and bury me with you!"
"Let go, you idiot. There's no time to argue."
