Chidori vs. Naruto

When Hyuga Hiashi saw Shao Nan about to come down,

he hurried over and gestured for him not to leave yet.

Hyuga Hiashi took the loudspeaker.

"Everyone, do the Hyuga a favor!!!"

"Listen to me about something!"

"Shao Nan Senju is now the head of the Senju clan, but he is also an ally of the Hyuga and the master of my two daughters!"

"On this wonderful day, I'll shamelessly have my two daughters come forward and formally take Shao Nan Senju as their master."

Everyone present was stunned!

The Hyuga, who had never shown interest in anything, had actually formed an alliance with the Senju. Their clan head was even having his daughters take a master!

"Wouldn't the other clans object?"

"Who knows? We common folk wouldn't understand that sort of thing!"

"Stop flapping your mouths and eat already. Eat your fill—we rarely get a feast like this."

"What can you do besides eat? Unlike me, I came prepared!"

The villager pulled out a stack of plastic bags from his pocket.

"Damn, we haven't even started eating, and you're already packing food up? You really know how to attend a banquet!"

"Of course! Otherwise, why call it attending a banquet? Banquets are for packing food!"

Hyuga Hiashi waved a hand.

Then Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga walked forward side by side.

Two attendants followed beside them!

The two sisters were dressed especially pure and charming today!

Hinata wore a pure white formal gown embroidered with blue patterns.

The forehead protector she usually wore around her neck had been removed.

She wore a pair of red high heels!

Her dark-blue short hair framed her cheeks on both sides.

At her age, dressed like this, Hinata possessed a uniquely captivating charm.

Hanabi Hyuga wore a little orange off-the-shoulder dress.

At her waist, just beneath her chest, a creamy yellow ribbon was tied into a bow.

Her long, glossy black hair flowed down her back.

Two slender braids hung down at the front on either side.

Pink bows were tied at the ends of the braids.

Her delicate little feet wore black knee-high boots.

The tops of the boots fell just below her knees.

Shao Nan looked at the two young girls and nodded approvingly at Hyuga Hiashi.

"Hiashi, don't worry. From now on, these two disciples of mine will be under my care! I'll make them figures who can stand proudly above the Ninja World."

Standing proudly did not necessarily have to be through their strength.

Just like Tsunade, who stood proudly over the Ninja World with her 106!

Hanabi still needed to be developed, though!

"Brother Shao Nan, with those words from you, this old brother can rest easy! Hinata, Hanabi, come kneel!"

Hinata and Hanabi answered together, "Yes, Father!"

Then the two girls knelt on both knees before Shao Nan.

An attendant brought over a chair, and Shao Nan sat down!

Then the attendants poured each girl a cup of tea from their sides!

The two girls picked up their teacups and offered them to Shao Nan!

"Master, please have some tea!!!"

"Master, please have some tea!!!"

Watching and listening, Shao Nan found it utterly pleasing to the eye!

The Naruto World really was great. He could finally interact with Hinata.

And there was Hanabi too—the sisters! Not bad at all!

After drinking the tea, Shao Nan said, "From now on, you two will study under me. I'm not a man with many rules. Just one word: obey. Understand?"

Hinata said shyly, "Master, that's three words!"

Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Sakura had also blended into the banquet.

"Sasuke, that guy feels insanely strong! I want him to train me."

"Idiot! Who do you think you are? Why would he give you the time of day?"

"Whether it works or not, I still have to try! What, are you planning to sneak off and ask him to train you without me?"

"You idiot! What did you say? Say that again?"

Sakura smelled gunpowder in the air beside them!

"Naruto, shut up! Sasuke would never do what you said, right, Sasuke!?"

Time flew by, and the banquet came to an end!!!

The major clans and the villagers had all left. Only Kakashi remained behind.

Holding a bottle of wine, Shao Nan walked over and asked, "Want to keep drinking?"

"No more. Any more and I won't be sober!"

"It's easier to get things done when you're not sober, Kakashi."

"No women, no drinking!!!"

Shao Nan took a huge gulp of aged wine. Looking at the slightly drunken Kakashi, he found that the man was acting a little tsundere now!

"Come out, you lot! You've been sneaking around all night!!!"

There was only a wine table in the vast open space, not a single person in sight!

Kakashi thought Shao Nan was just drunkenly ranting!

"There's no one there. Did you drink too much?"

Shao Nan set down the bottle and slapped a hand onto the ground.

"Wood Release: Wood Binding Technique."

Several strips of wood rapidly sprouted on the street outside the Senju Compound.

They then spread toward the trees by the roadside.

"Damn it!"

"Idiot!"

"Ribbit!"

Two teenage voices came from the tree.

Besides the two boys' voices,

a frog croaked as well.

Then the wooden strips directly dragged the two boys down from the tree and before Kakashi.

"Naruto, Sasuke!?"

Kakashi was astonished. Why were these two here instead of sleeping so late at night?

"Kakashi-sensei, save me! What is this thing? Before I could even react, I got caught!"

"Oh, right, Sasuke too! He was even caught first!"

Uchiha Sasuke kept a cold face and said nothing.

Kakashi stood up and said, "They're my two students. Sorry you had to see that!"

Shao Nan released the Wood Release binding around them.

Kakashi asked, "What are you two doing here!"

Naruto said, "We came with Hinata. Hinata went into this house and never came out, so we were waiting for her."

Kakashi said, "Tell the truth!!!"

Naruto said, "Sasuke wants to learn ninjutsu from him!"

Naruto dropped into a horse stance, looked at Kakashi, and pointed at Shao Nan.

"I'm not going to teach you anything. Besides, I barely know any ninjutsu myself!"

Give me a break. One is Ashura, and the other is Indra! Do they need me to teach them?

But Shao Nan was interested in the Nine-Tails inside Naruto!

If Tsunade became the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki, would that not mean she would never run out of chakra?

And stay forever young and beautiful?

Ever since getting together with Tsunade, he had discovered one of her secrets.

Tsunade's unique secret art for preserving youth was something like the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!

Two people could cultivate together and feed back into each other!

Through bodily cultivation, chakra could flow in reverse within both bodies!

It could keep them both at a critical point of intense stimulation generated by chakra.

It was just that Tsunade's chakra could not keep up with Shao Nan's absurd amount of chakra.

At crucial moments, Tsunade would often fall short and surrender!

Thinking of this, Shao Nan had already made up his mind to make Tsunade the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki.

Coveting Naruto's Nine-Tails was unrealistic. After all, Naruto and the Nine-Tails were Konoha's property.

If he took Naruto's Nine-Tails away, wouldn't that curse kill him on the spot?

Shao Nan had another exciting idea.

If I kill Naruto now, can Sasuke directly awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?

His gaze then fell upon Naruto.

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto glared viciously at Shao Nan outside.

"Hmph, so you noticed this old man after all? So what if you're Hashirama's reincarnation!

Would this old man be afraid of you? I'm perfectly safe inside this seal!"

[Ding! Learning task issued: Learn the ninjutsu Chidori. Reward: Sage Body and Wood Release Sage Mode.]

Damn, the system really came through. He was getting a full build!

Once the Mangekyo Sharingan opened, would he not directly get the Rinnegan?

"System, is the Sage Body Hashirama Senju's Sage Body?"

[Ding! Yes. It is even superior to his.]

[Note: After ordinary people receive the flesh, blood, cells, or genes of this Sage Body, they still cannot use the Sage Body's power. It can only strengthen their physique.]

Not bad! He did not care about ordinary people.

As long as it was comparable to Hashirama's Sage Body, that was enough.

And did Chidori really need to be taught?

Chidori was simply covering the palm with lightning-nature chakra to create a nature transformation, then thrusting at extreme speed.

Chidori only had one drawback: without the Sharingan, it was difficult to defend against enemy attacks in time during a high-speed thrust.

Now, not only did he have the Sharingan, but even if he was attacked, so what? He also had Hashirama Senju's monstrous self-healing ability. Who was he afraid of!

Wasn't Chidori a perfect match for him?

This body possessed the bloodlines of the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha clans!

At the same time, it possessed chakra of every nature!

He had seen Kakashi use it once up close today.

It should be like this...

Shao Nan raised his right hand and released lightning-nature chakra.

Next came controlling its shape transformation.

The system really knew how to pick. This body was truly amazing.

Even controlling chakra came as naturally as moving a limb. It was perfect.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!

Chidori formed in his hand, emitting a sound like a thousand birds chirping together.

[Ding! Learning task completed. Reward issued.]

Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke had not even had time to be shocked by the Chidori in Shao Nan's right hand.

They could only stare in amazement as Shao Nan's body began changing.

His six-foot frame visibly grew to six foot three!

The muscles on his body became even more massive and robust.

His originally refined face became sharply defined, carrying an added air of maturity.

Shao Nan opened his eyes. They gleamed in the darkness, making anyone who looked at them feel an inexplicable chill.

"Ha ha ha, this feels really good!"

"Shao Nan, are you all right? Did you drink too much?" Kakashi suddenly asked.

"Kakashi, let's do something exciting! I guarantee you've never tried it before!"

The instant Shao Nan finished speaking, thick, sturdy wooden strips rapidly appeared around Kakashi and the other two, tightly binding them.

The three, completely unprepared, had no idea what Shao Nan intended to do!

"You didn't really drink too much, did you, Shao Nan?!"

Shao Nan ignored Kakashi and charged straight at Naruto with Chidori in his right hand.

Sizzle~

Naruto's eyes widened as he stared at the man before him, his face twisted in pain!

"Why?"

Naruto had no idea why Shao Nan was attacking him. After saying that, he shut his eyes tightly.

Kakashi shouted, "Naruto!"

Then chakra erupted from his body.
