Watching the four Sound Ninja flee in a hurry, Naruto remained completely calm and simply followed after them at an unhurried pace.
No matter how much the four Sound Ninja sped up their escape, they could never shake Naruto's pursuit.
Unable to bear it any longer, Jirobo simply tossed the coffin to Sakon and Ukon, leaving behind the words, "You go on ahead. I'll take care of Naruto."
Jirobo stopped in his tracks.
Sakon and Ukon took the coffin and casually glanced at Jirobo without saying anything. Someone really did need to stay behind and cover their retreat.
Naruto leisurely caught up and saw a fat man standing ahead of him. It was Jirobo.
Naruto said expressionlessly, "Can you pass a message on to your teammates for me?"
"What did you say?" Jirobo asked in confusion.
Naruto gave a sinister smile. "Actually, the Sasuke you took away is fake. That isn't Sasuke at all. The real Sasuke is still in Konoha."
"What?!" Jirobo was shocked.
While Jirobo was still reeling in disbelief, Naruto had already approached with a Rasengan in hand and finished him with one blow before he could react.
"Earth Release! Earth Style: Earth Wall Return!" Jirobo rapidly formed hand seals. After using Earth Release, a rectangular earthen wall swiftly rose from the ground and blocked Naruto's path.
Naruto's Rasengan was immensely powerful. The instant it pressed against the earthen wall, its spiraling vortex shredded the wall into countless fragments.
Jirobo repeatedly used Earth Release, forcibly raising eight earthen walls before he finally stopped Naruto.
Facing Naruto's overbearing first strike, Jirobo had defended with great difficulty and no longer dared to let his guard down.
Jirobo directly activated the Cursed Seal Second State. After entering the second state, his appearance changed drastically until he no longer looked human
