Naruto Uzumaki's attacks were far too strange.
Even with his limiter removed, Code couldn't tell how Naruto was attacking him.
And worse...
What shocked Code most was that his body could no longer heal.
After all,
removing his limiter had not only greatly increased his strength but also given him extraordinary regenerative abilities.
Even if his body were severed in two, the power within him could restore it in an instant.
But now...
The wound in his chest showed no sign of healing.
Just then, another sense of danger surged through Code.

Several sounds rang out, like blades piercing flesh, and Code's limbs were severed by an unseen force.
"Damn it! What the hell is happening?!"
Terror filled Code's face.
It was the first time he had felt so utterly at someone else's mercy.
It was terrifying.
Naruto stood there without moving, yet Code had already come within a hair's breadth of death several times.

Regret suddenly welled up in Code's heart.
Why had he interrupted Naruto Uzumaki?
If he had been a little more patient, he might have had a chance to survive...
