Wind Release Frenzy, Neji's Divine Void Strike Wipes Out a Hundred Attacks, the Roar of the Rasengan

"That's outrageous. Hundreds of wind release ninjutsu unleashed all at once." Akatsuchi, who had remained silent until now, finally exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Kurotsuchi frowned at the barrier shimmering with pale golden light in the center of the Arena, her voice carrying unmistakable lingering fear:

"Good thing this is an indoor arena with a barrier. Otherwise, that wind would tear up the spectator stands outside. Uzumaki Naruto... has he taken Shadow Clones to a whole new level?"

Kitsuchi heaved a sigh, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the edge of his ninja tool pouch. "Konoha really is full of talent. How many does that make now..."

Envy all but spilled from his words, and he even swallowed involuntarily.

"Now I finally understand why that guy Raikage A is always eyeing Konoha's people and clans.

I'd want them too."

Inside the Arena, Neji's voice suddenly rang out, cool and firm. "Rotation, contract, spin."

Before his words had faded, the pale blue chakra shield around him abruptly shrank, but its rotation accelerated sharply and its chakra density surged—he had compressed Rotation's defensive range to strengthen the shield's repelling force.

Neji had already pushed his Byakugan to its limit. The veins around his eyes had reddened slightly from overuse, yet he still tracked the chakra flow of every wind release attack with precision.

He could clearly see that among the hundreds of green wind release currents, one was denser and more stable than the others—

That was the chakra source of Naruto's original body.

But by now, the wind field had gathered momentum.

The currents pulled at and tangled around one another. Even with the original body's location pinpointed, breaking through the layers of wind pillars remained difficult.

Naruto laughed smugly. "See? See? This is the power of the great Naruto!"

"Interesting."
