"Since they've caught up, it's better to strike first! With the Byakugan's reconnaissance abilities, escaping their pursuit will be difficult once they spot us. Rather than playing a game of cat and mouse, I'd rather take them down!"
"Your injuries have just healed, you should just rest! Besides... they're after me!"
Naruto closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her azure eyes had turned blood red, her pupils turning into beast-like eyes.
"Nine-Tails, let's go!"
"Roar!"
The Nine-Tails and Naruto trusted each other implicitly. If Naruto hadn't feared that her body would be harmed after the seal was released, she would have torn it off long ago.
Even with the seal, the Nine-Tails and Naruto, trusting each other, exchanged chakra without any hindrance, as if the seal didn't exist.
"Nine-Tails, how much of your power can I use?"
"The limit is three tails, and you can't maintain the three-tailed state for too long. Naruto, be quick! Don't get entangled with them too much!" The Nine-Tails looked at Naruto's body with concern, its voice revealing worry for her.
"Nine-Tails, trust me, the Uzumaki bloodline isn't that fragile. After all..." This is a world that values bloodlines and eyes...
Naruto's unspoken words remained only in her heart. Three tails swayed behind her as she transformed into a red blur, charging towards the Konoha ninja trying to capture her. The wind she kicked up hit the Konoha ninja's faces before she even got close.
"Whoosh—!"
Naruto appeared before the Konoha ninja, grabbed one of them with her dark red claws, and flung them into the air. The three tails behind her then pierced towards them.
"Bang—!"
The ninja struck by the three tails turned into a wooden log after the smoke cleared.
As expected of a Jonin, after a moment of stunned silence, they reacted and used the Substitution Technique in time to escape death. If they were Chunin, they would have been killed by Naruto in that first exchange.
Naruto, using the power of the Nine-Tails with three tails, was undoubtedly terrifying. No one understood the Nine-Tails' power better than she did.
Her confident finishing blow had been dodged. Naruto narrowed her eyes, her blood-red eyes filled with ferocity.
Jonin are indeed tricky. I'll take your lives with the next attack!
Chapter 26: That Lady is Amazing! (1/2)
♂ Such speed! Is this the power of the Nine-Tails!
Seeing the Nine-Tails chakra covering Naruto, the Konoha ninja understood the gap between them and Naruto in a single exchange. However, ninjas don't just rely on chakra levels!
Even facing Naruto Uzumaki, who was using Nine-Tails chakra, they were confident they could bring Naruto, who wasn't even a Genin, back to Konoha! Confidence is good, but unfortunately, they underestimated Naruto and the Nine-Tails' power.
"Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"
"Lightning Style: Moving Earth!"
The water spat out by the Konoha ninja crashed down like waves, covering the ground with a few centimeters of water. Simultaneously, one Konoha ninja spat a stream of water at Naruto, while another quickly performed hand seals, their hands flashing with lightning. The lightning chakra, conducted by the water, instantly wrapped around Naruto. Even with the Tailed Beast Cloak's protection, Naruto felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and her charge towards the Konoha ninja halted.
"Byakugan!"
Haruki Hyuga activated his Byakugan and appeared beside Naruto, assuming an Eight Trigrams stance.
"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Four Palms!"
"Two palms! Four palms! Eight palms! Thirteen palms! Thirty-two palms! ...What?!"
Haruki Hyuga rapidly struck thirty-four pressure points on Naruto's body. When he reached the thirty-second palm, his hands were caught by the hands formed from Nine-Tails chakra.
"You're hurting me a bit!"
Just as Naruto was about to break Haruki Hyuga's arms, he sensed danger and released chakra from all his pressure points. A powerful repulsive force actually pushed away the chakra hands, showing that a Jonin was not as easy to deal with as Naruto had imagined.
"Rotation!!!"
"Naruto, watch out behind you!"
"Lightning Style: False Darkness!"
The moment Naruto was repelled by Rotation, a blinding bolt of lightning struck her with extreme speed. It was too fast for her to dodge. By the time Naruto reacted, it was already too late.
Naruto screamed. She looked down, smoke rising from her body. The Nine-Tails chakra quickly healed the wounds on her back.
"How can this be!"
The Konoha ninja who used the lightning style looked shocked. He had poured all his chakra into Lightning Style: False Darkness, aiming to kill Naruto with a single blow. What he hadn't expected was the Tailed Beast Cloak formed by the Nine-Tails chakra.
The Tailed Beast Cloak not only granted Naruto immense power but also possessed considerable defensive capabilities. Even his full-power attack had only managed to break through the Tailed Beast Cloak enveloping Naruto, causing a seemingly gruesome but actually not very serious burn on her back.
Naruto, on all fours, charged towards the ninja who had attacked her with lightning. The ground shattered with her sprint, and a fierce wind swept up mud and water, causing a mud-rain in the area.
Naruto grabbed the head of the Konoha ninja, who had exhausted his chakra, and lifted him up. The tails behind her swayed and pierced his body!
"Nozawa!"
"So his name is Nozawa!"
Naruto tilted her head, looking at the Konoha ninja who was glaring at her, wishing he could tear her to shreds. She then glanced at the corpse, which had stopped struggling and had no breath, and casually threw it to the ground.
"I told you, I won't hold back when I encounter Konoha ninja... Next, it's your turn!"
"Naruto Uzumaki! If you don't want them to get hurt, then stop resisting obediently!"
"Oh, so this is what you Konoha ninja do? Holding sharp blades to the throats of defenseless women?"
Naruto stood up, her three tails swaying behind her, showing no concern at all about being taken hostage by Konoha ninja.
"Heh heh..."
Mikoto Uchiha let out a soft laugh with her head lowered. She had never imagined a day would come when she would be seen as a helpless woman.
"What are you laughing at?! Don't you dare make a move, or I'll kill you!"
"Then try killing me!"
As Mikoto Uchiha raised her head again, her Sharingan activated. The moment the man saw the Three Tomoe Sharingan in her eyes, he fell victim to Mikoto Uchiha's Genjutsu. Wooden stakes suddenly appeared around them, squeezing their bodies and leaving them unable to move.
"Genjutsu?!"
"Those eyes... you're an Uchiha..."
Mikoto Uchiha snatched the kunai from his hand, then swiftly and cleanly slit the throats of the two Konoha ninja.
