The beautiful yet dangerous Shira finally exploded, and the powerful shockwave shook and impacted everything around it. The energy was so great that even the people lying in the distance were turned over by it.
Kakashi and Might Guy struggled to withstand the onslaught.
When the smoke cleared, Kakashi and Might Guy looked at the dilapidated Earth Style Wall in front of them and couldn't help but gasp. They hadn't expected that the aftershocks of the explosion could have such power.
What about the two people at the epicenter of the explosion?
Their eyes turned inward, and only Naruto's clothes were slightly dirty. On the Menma, Menma's clothes were tattered, and even his mask was broken, as if it was about to fall off his face. But they didn't know what material Menma was made of, because it was so sturdy. If it were Obito's mask, it would have been shattered to pieces long ago.
Naruto looked at Menma with a hint of mockery and amusement in his eyes. He was curious to know what would happen if Menma's mask fell off and was seen by his former friend.
Menma naturally knew what Naruto was thinking, and the Menma fueled his anger even more, making him want to rush over and tear that imposter Naruto to pieces.
"Damn it, you imposter, you deserve to die."
As he Menma rushed forward, swinging his fist towards Naruto's face. But with Menma's speed, how could Naruto possibly touch him? Naruto easily dodged Menma's attack and even managed to grab at Menma.
Seeing that Naruto was actually coming straight for his mask, Menma was startled and immediately activated the ability Obito had given him: Intangibility. Naruto's hand instantly passed through Menma's body.
"Oh? I didn't know you knew that trick."
As for why Menma knows this technique, it's naturally because he's incorporated Obito. However, since Menma isn't currently in control, there's still a significant gap between him and Obito.
Menma quickly distanced himself from Naruto, panting heavily. That was close; it was too dangerous. He almost exposed himself.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Naruto, but Naruto completely ignored Menma's look. Now they had to find a way to pull Obito out of Menma's body, otherwise they might not be able to go back.
As for Sasuke and Itachi on the other side, Itachi followed behind Sasuke, just sitting there quietly, not knowing how to start a conversation. He was even a little afraid to face his younger brother. Well, what could he do? He had initially been mistaken for that foolish little brother of the world.
"Nisan, I want to know, why did you do this?"
Itachi knew what Sasuke was talking about, of course. He didn't want to tell him, but when he thought about how Sasuke lived in a different world than him, and how he looked like he had been pampered by his parents since childhood, he decided to listen.
"Sigh, actually..."
Next, Itachi told Sasuke everything he knew, which made Sasuke furious. He even wanted to go and kill that bastard Danzo right then and there.
" Sasuke, don't rush."
Itachi could only offer him advice; he didn't want Sasuke had grown up to be perfect, to have his eyes clouded by the darkness of this world.
Moreover, killing Danzo is Sasuke's mission in this world, and my mission is to supervise him to become stronger, so strong that no one can bully him anymore.
"Forgive me, Sasuke."
Itachi tapped Sasuke's forehead. Although the Sasuke in front of him wasn't from this world, the feeling was just like his own foolish younger brother.
Thinking of this, Itachi couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Naruto and Menma's battle continued, the two fighting from the sky to the ground and back again, with constant crackling and booming sounds.
The two have been fighting since they first met, and no one has come to Naruto's aid. Similarly, Menma's Nine Masked Beasts has been shattered and returned to his body. The battlefield now consists only of these two, who are constantly battling.
But it was less of a battle and more of a one-sided crushing defeat by Naruto. Menma had long since run out of strength to fight anymore; he felt as if even his fists were limp and powerless.
"Damn it, you imposter, how come you're so strong?"
Naruto simply smiled faintly at Menma's confusion. "Are you kidding me? I'm overpowered from head to toe. How could someone like you, who's only using half of his stats, possibly be a match for me?"
Menma seemed unwilling to give up, so he used all his abilities. He lay on the ground, his mask tattered, revealing a familiar face. This was why no one came forward to help him, because the face was exactly the same as Menma's while he was fighting.
No one dared to make a move, and could only watch the battle between the real and fake Menma in silence. They couldn't tell who the real Menma was.
A puff of smoke appeared, and a colossal creature materialized before them. Its tyrannical and evil aura sent shivers down everyone's spines. This... it looked like the Nine-Tails.
Naruto simply raised his head and looked at Kurama in front of him. Although they were almost identical, the fur of this Menma was noticeably darker than that of his Kurama.
" Nine-Tails, tear him apart!"
Menma stood atop Nine-Tails's head, issuing commands to Nine-Tails beneath his feet. His expression gradually turned frenzied, as if he wished he could rip Naruto's heart and lungs out and tear him to pieces.
But Naruto just smiled contemptuously Menma Kurama, who Menma's feet. He had noticed that Kurama had no spirit at all; this guy was using the Nine-Tails as a tool.
"Hey~ Kurama, do you want to come out and stretch your muscles?"
Kurama had been paying close attention to everything around it. The moment it saw Menma, it knew the gist of the situation. After hearing Naruto's words, the corners of its mouth turned up in a smile.
"Very well, I haven't been out for some fresh air in a long time either. Let me teach that brat a lesson and show him who the imposter is."
As Naruto took a step forward, Kurama's unique Chakra appeared around Naruto, and its size gradually increased until finally, a Nine-Tails composed of golden Chakra appeared in everyone's sight. Unlike Menma's Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails summoned by Naruto was a completely restrained entity, but one could still feel its terrifying pressure upon closer inspection. However, it lacked any evil or violent aura...
"Two... two Nine-Tails?"
"Holy crap, this gold one is so cool! Damn, that's so awesome!"
"The Golden Legend? That's amazing, he must be our Menma."
Menma was standing on the Nine-Tails's head, turned even darker upon hearing this. These blind fools still haven't recognized me?
