In an instant, blue lightning engulfed the entire world; color and sound vanished in that moment.
All that echoed in their ears was endless thunder, and all they could see was a blinding blue and white.
The thunder and rain drowned out the screams of the black-armored warriors. After the dazzling lightning dissipated, all that could be seen on the ground were severed limbs and fragments of black armor. The blood, diluted by the rain, mixed with the soil, making it difficult to take a step.
And look at those three arrogant red-armored generals again?
It had already been annihilated in the violent thunder just now, leaving not even a trace.
The once massive army of black-armored soldiers now had a large open space; the scorched ground, mixed with rain and blood, made the scene exceptionally lively.
Looking at Naruto and Sasuke, both were panting heavily, showing how much that attack had taken a toll on them. Although they were using the power of nature, the change in the nature of the Lightning Release Chakra after the lightning strike required them to constantly control it.
Otherwise, the thunderbolts that filled the sky would have exploded in the air long ago, and would never have reached the ground.
"Phew, how was it?"
"Absolutely stunning!"
Ignoring the stares of others, Naruto and Sasuke once again began their mutual flattery.
What about the black-armored army?
The moment the lightning dissipated, they were completely routed, scrambling and crawling back home.
Seeing their enemy routed Zabuza the Wanderer warriors naturally wanted to give them a good beating.
"Men, they're chickening out! Follow me, kill them! Charge!"
At Zabuza the Wanderer's command, the samurai of the Demon Tribe surged out in a massive wave, shouting slogans like "Judgment! Bonds! We are the champions!"
In contrast to the high morale of the Demon Tribe, the black-armored army was terrified. In their minds, this was no Ninjutsu; it was clearly divine punishment!
"Waaah, run! The heavens are angry!"
"I won't do it again, I'll never do it again, I was wrong."
Cries and screams filled the air. To everyone's surprise, the well-trained black-armored warriors were terrified, and their morale plummeted to rock bottom.
There's no way around it; the Ninjutsu Naruto and Sasuke just unleashed was simply too terrifying. From the black-armored samurai's perspective, it hardly looked like Ninjutsu at all.
What's the difference between this and a natural disaster? My vision blurred for a second, then there was a terrifying clap of thunder. When I could finally see clearly again, everyone who had been standing next to me was gone, and all that was left was the smell of burnt meat. Who wouldn't be terrified in that situation?
At this moment, Jiraiya the Wanderer, arrived. He looked at Naruto and Sasuke with a complicated expression, feeling a mix of emotions.
He hadn't expected that Naruto in front of him could already wield such immense power.
This also left the Jiraiya the Wanderer embarrassed. You see, after meeting Naruto from the very beginning, he had already been thinking about how to make amends to him, which was to teach Naruto more Ninjutsu. That was the only thing he could do at the moment.
But only today did Jiraiya the Wanderer realize how ridiculous his thoughts were. These two were already proficient in using such powerful Ninjutsu, so how could they possibly care about his rudimentary skills?
He stepped forward, patted Naruto on the shoulder, opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't speak. He just licked his lips, which were so dry they were cracked.
Naruto was utterly exhausted. He hadn't expected releasing this Ninjutsu to be so tiring. Sasuke had seemed to use it quite easily back then, so why was it so exhausting for him?
Moreover, Sasuke was exhausted at this point and was already lying on the ground resting.
He was too lazy to Jiraiya the Wanderer. He glanced at him, then flung the hand off his shoulder and plopped down on the ground. He was tired and wanted to rest.
The upper and lower eyelids of those eyes seemed to be caught in an unavoidable love affair, and at this moment they especially longed to embrace each other.
But the thought that they had won made Naruto realize that he wouldn't have anything to do afterward, so he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When Zabuza the Wanderer returned with his men, he naturally saw Naruto and Sasuke fast asleep on the ground. He simply smiled and then instructed his men to take the two to a room to rest.
The gaze fell upon the Akatsuki, where a man was burning with rage. He grabbed a black-armored warrior, his eyes filled with chilling intent, as if he wanted to crush his subordinate to death.
"Explain to me properly what you mean by 'God was angry and killed you all'?"
Danzo the Wanderer, was so angry he almost laughed. He seriously suspected his subordinate was making fun of him, even coming up with an excuse like "God is angry."
"It's true, sir, it's all true. Thunder, countless thunderclaps, they... they were all struck dead."
"God has struck back..."
Looking at his subordinate, who was already weeping uncontrollably, Danzo the Wanderer a wave of disgust and threw him far away.
"Hmph, you tell me, what exactly happened?"
At this moment, Danzo the Danzo the Wanderer pointed to another black-armored warrior kneeling on the ground, trembling.
The person whose name was called kowtowed frantically.
"Sir, what he just said is true. We really didn't lie to you."
Danzo the Wanderer's expression was very unpleasant. He pointed to one of his subordinates again, but received the same response.
Now it was Danzo the Wanderer feel suspicious. If one or two people were lying to him, it might be, but if everyone was saying the same thing, then something was definitely not right.
Similarly, he has blamed this defeat on the same group from last time.
"Could it be that the Child of Destiny has exerted their power?"
Danzo the Wanderer, could only attribute such an outrageous event to the Child of Destiny, since only this person who lived in the prophecy could do something comparable to a "miracle".
It must be admitted that Danzo the Wanderer's sense of smell was quite sharp; at the very least, his guess was accurate.
After all, in Pain the Wanderer's premonition, Naruto and Sasuke were both considered the Child of Destiny. It's just unknown Danzo the Wanderer was inherently suspicious or if he just stumbled upon the perfect opportunity.
When Naruto woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
"Oh? You're awake. I thought you were going to keep sleeping?"
Hearing the Jiraiya the Wanderer, spoke up. Although he looked at Naruto with a worried expression, his words still carried a hint of teasing.
Hearing Jiraiya the Wanderer's familiar voice, Naruto didn't say anything, just turned over and continued lying down, seemingly not wanting to talk to this oblivious person any longer...
