Naruto Uzumaki was no longer in the state he had been in earlier, when he had so easily fallen into an illusion.
Vast chakra surged through his body!
Without so much as glancing at the bubbles, he shot like a bolt of golden lightning, cutting a straight line through the water and appearing beneath the crab in an instant.
"Get-up!"
Naruto gripped the edges of the crab's shell with both hands. Nine-Tails chakra erupted, and with enough strength to shake a mountain, he flipped the entire hill-sized crab over.
The crab's eight legs thrashed wildly in the water as its enormous body rolled over, fully exposing the soft gaps in its abdominal shell to everyone.
The next second-
Rock Lee's eyes flew wide. Chakra erupted within him as the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of Opening, the second gate, the Gate of Healing, and the third gate, the Gate of Life, opened in succession.
His skin flushed an unnatural red, veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and immense chakra poured from his body like a gale, stirring rings of visible shock waves underwater.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
Rock Lee moved so fast he was almost invisible. Only a green afterimage flashed across the gaps in the shell on the crab's abdomen.
With a muffled boom, the crab's entire abdominal shell caved in, and dark green bodily fluid gushed from the cracks.
The crab let out a piercing screech, its massive body convulsing violently in the water as its eight legs curled up weakly. The eerie green glow in its eyes rapidly dimmed, and it released fewer and fewer bubbles until it finally went completely still.
Its enormous body began to sink slowly, and the resulting surge of water pushed everyone back several meters.
"Nice work!" Tenten
