With Dao Transformation: Lightning Cutter in his right hand, Root King lunged forward at astonishing speed!
A crimson blur forcefully cut into his path!
It was Naruto in Progenitor Gods Baryon Mode, bearing the Immortal Blessing of his Bishamonten: Taketamayorihime-no-Mikoto!!
Naruto shouted, "You fake Kakashi!! I won't let you anywhere near Uncle Shadow and the others!"
Root King frowned. His thrusting hand snapped behind his back like lightning. The reason was simple: he didn't want to waste this lethal technique, fueled directly by his heavenly path, on cannon fodder meant to soak up damage!
"Trying to bait out my ultimate move? You're far too green!"
Whoosh! Root King formed a Truth-Seeking Orb in his left hand and shoved it straight into Naruto's chest, then turned and kicked him flying with a bang. Without bothering to check whether Naruto lived or died, he charged straight at his true target!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zatoichi and Kamiza Tento blocked his path, greeting him with a combination of Ice Blade Ripple Sword and Blazing Fire Fist!
"A combined strike of Heaven Swordsmanship and Heaven Gate Body Art? Interesting..."
Keeping his right hand behind his back, Root King raised his left to meet it head-on.
-Invincible Foe-Slaying Technique!
Boom!
Ice and fire both vanished into his palm!
Root King murmured, "I caught that combined strike with one hand. It's nowhere near Dragon Abyss Palm and Corpse Qi Underworld Wave..."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After blasting their combined attack apart, he swept past like a gale and casually delivered a kick apiece to the unprepared Zatoichi and Tian Dou!
Clang! Bang!
Zatoichi blocked with the Heaven Sword, while Tian Dou braced both arms, but neither escaped being sent flying in disgrace!
Fortunately, Root King had no intention of killing either of them, so neither kick carried Tian'er Qizhi. Otherwise,
