Just as Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura fell into danger, Naruto too found himself in a life-or-death crisis!
A grayish-brown giant python as thick as a water vat swallowed Naruto whole in a single bite with lightning speed!
The giant python stuck out its tongue and licked its lips, thoroughly pleased!
Then, with a flick of its tail, it was about to leave.
"Hold on a moment."
Houka had hurried over as fast as he could and finally found this place.
Naruto had been swallowed into the giant python's belly. Before long, he would be digested into a lump of shit. Although Naruto had escaped in the original story by using Shadow Clones to burst the python's stomach, Houka had no intention of gambling on it.
"Earth Release—Earth Rising Spears!"
Houka rapidly formed Hand Seals and slammed a palm onto the ground.
Crack, crack, crack...
In an instant, more than a dozen huge, sharp earthen spikes violently erupted from underground, piercing straight through the giant python.
With the Chakra Sensory Technique, Houka was not worried that the spikes would injure Naruto.
The giant python's vitality was astonishing. Even after being pierced through by more than a dozen earthen spikes, it did not die and continued thrashing wildly in struggle!
As the giant python writhed frantically, the wounds across its body were torn wider and wider, exposing blood and flesh in a gruesome sight. Then, vast amounts of blood poured onto the ground like floodwaters released from a dam.
Thud.
A small, thin figure tumbled miserably to the ground amid the snake blood, coughing repeatedly.
"Cough, cough... Damn it, what happened...?"
Naruto wiped the snake blood off his face, warily moved away from where he stood, and quickly looked around.
"Huh? You... Shuiduo? Why are you here? Weren't you already eliminated?" Naruto
