The Nine-Headed Snake Sage coiled across the earth, shaking its heads and baring its fangs!
"What delightfully invigorating killing intent~!"
Smiling, Naruto formed hand seals.
Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!
A wood dragon rose and wound around the Nine-Headed Snake Sage's body!
"Wood Release? He can actually use Wood Release...!"
But the wood dragon seemed unable to restrain it completely. Before long, it showed signs of breaking free!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The gates descended one after another, pinning down the eight heads at the front of the nine-headed sage snake!
"Ugh... I-I can't move!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!
But then, snake heads broke through the ground one after another, preparing to launch a coordinated attack from every direction!
"You won't hurt Naruto-kun!"
