Absorbing the Dragon Vein! The Shock of Infinite Chakra! (Continued)

"Aogetsu Hyuga!!"

"You'll die here in Rōran!!!"

The enormous puppet spread its claws and slammed them down at Aogetsu Hyuga.

Aogetsu Hyuga dodged in a flash. Looking at the huge crater in the ground, he grew thoughtful.

He wanted to test the depths of the Dragon Vein's power, so he had no intention of killing Mukade yet.

If he wanted Mukade dead, he had a hundred ways to wipe him out. Not even the Dragon Vein's Chakra could save him!

Meanwhile,

Mukade's claw smashed into the ground, sending boulders flying toward Minato and the other three.

Minato Namikaze was secretly delighted. At last, he could show off in front of Naruto and play the father!

"Naruto! I'll—"

Before Minato Namikaze could finish, an orange figure charged ahead of him.

"Big Ball Rasengan!"

Naruto thrust out his hand. A massive sphere of blue Chakra appeared and blew the incoming boulders apart.

"Dad! I'll protect you!"

Naruto looked thrilled.

Minato Namikaze was speechless. Naruto had stolen the line he was supposed to say as the father!

"So strong!" Chōza Akimichi and Shibi Aburame exclaimed in unison.

Naruto gave him a thumbs-up.

"How was that, Dad?"

Minato Namikaze smiled.

"That's my son!"

He looked at Aogetsu Hyuga's effortlessly graceful figure, growing even more curious about him.

By then,

Aogetsu Hyuga was handling Mukade's attacks with ease.

Just then, a powerful purple light surged from the tower at the center of Rōran.

Like lightning, it struck Mukade,

and his aura swelled once more.

"Three forms. This really is starting to feel like a boss fight."

Aogetsu Hyuga made the remark flatly.

After entering his third form, Mukade finally had a ranged attack.

Two beams of green light suddenly shot from his lantern-sized eyes.

Boom!

Boom!

The beams struck the surrounding buildings, doing considerable damage.
