Misfortunes Never Come Singly

Naruto had just regained his freedom and was about to head off to support Sasuke when a loud scream suddenly rang out. Naruto, in Sage Mode, sensed that someone had kidnapped Sarada!

"Leave this to me, Naruto. You go after Sarada!" Sasuke, even in the midst of battle, noticed his daughter's situation and immediately told the freed Naruto to go.

But they both seemed to underestimate the cloak-wearer's strength. Their upper limit was clearly not just that. To Sasuke's horror, the cloak-wearer clasped their hands together and, after a brief pause, entered Sage Mode!

——Sage Art: Wood Release: Top Transformed Buddha!

"You're all staying here!" The cloak-wearer stood atop the hundred-meter-tall Buddha's head, the height allowing them to look down on the tiny figures on the ground.

"Sasuke!!" Naruto shouted.

Sasuke's eyes twitched, and the purple skeletal Chakra slowly solidified, muscle fibers growing on the surface, finally covered by armor!

In a few breaths, it raised Sasuke to the same height – the Complete Body Susanoo!

Sasuke, wearing heavy armor and a tengu mask, stood on the towering Susanoo's forehead. After all, the enemy wasn't the real Hashirama; their Top Transformed Buddha was not even one-thousandth of Hashirama's! (Hashirama's Top Transformed Buddha could hold the Nine-Tails with one hand.)

The two stood facing each other on the same level. Clearly, Sasuke's Susanoo was within the cloak-wearer's expectations. When they saw Sasuke's armored Susanoo, they took the opportunity to attack.

The Top Transformed Buddha gave the cloak-wearer enough arms (a thousand hands), which increased their attack range and intensity exponentially. The next stage of attack would be 'True Several Thousand Hands,' but clearly they didn't have the ability to unleash it all at once.

Countless arms clenched into fists, covering Sasuke's Susanoo with all-around firepower. Each of those densely packed fists had the power to shake mountains. The heavy pressure of thousands of tons slammed down on the Susanoo like a meteor shower!

In the rumbling tremors, the sea of trees on the ground was cleared by the impact and airflow. Sasuke's Susanoo took all the attacks head-on, staggering backward.

The ground was gouged by Sasuke's Susanoo's legs, and the Chakra on the Susanoo's surface dimmed somewhat, but Sasuke still held on and swung the Susanoo Sword to counterattack.

Chidori wrapped around the Susanoo added to its power and spectacle, increasing the Susanoo's cutting power by several levels. After a breath, Sasuke quickly swung the sword. The Complete Body Susanoo was no different from Sasuke himself, so its flexibility and practicality were like a magnified version of Sasuke.

The Thousand-Hand Buddha's arms broke one after another. Each swing of Sasuke's sword took away a part of the Buddha's arm, slowly approaching the cloak-wearer.

The cloak-wearer was neither arrogant nor impatient, quietly sitting cross-legged on the Buddha's head, accumulating Sage power again. Seeing this, Sasuke immediately raised his hand and drew his bow, firing the 'Bow of Indra' at the cloak-wearer's position.

The extremely strong penetrating power shot through the Top Buddha's arm, carrying huge kinetic energy, aiming straight for the top of the Buddha's head. The cloak-wearer in Sage Mode sensed the attack and was forced to interrupt the condensation of Sage Mode.

"Wood Release: Wood Style: Hobi Technique"

Two arms in the Buddha were raised high, holding a ghost-faced shield in front of the cloak-wearer. That was Hashirama's absolute defense. Hashirama had used this technique to defend against Madara's Armored Susanoo's slash. Using it to resist Sasuke's harassment felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

This also proved the cloak-wearer's determination to use that technique. From the beginning's Top Transformed Buddha (low-profile version) and the current performance, it could be seen that they wanted to use 'True Several Thousand Hands' to kill everyone.

After all, Hashirama's illustrious achievements were in history. According to the cloak-wearer's idea, even if Naruto and Sasuke joined forces, they would still have a chance to fight!

Naruto, having just retreated to the edge of the sea of trees, saw the cloak-wearer's condensed offensive and immediately worried about Sasuke's safety.

"Do what you need to do!" Sasuke's cold voice echoed in the air.

Understanding Sasuke's determination, Naruto no longer hesitated and immediately headed towards Sarada's location, which he sensed in Sage Mode, speeding away.

What Naruto didn't expect was that the person who kidnapped Sarada was so fast. In just the few minutes he was trapped, Sarada's location was almost fading to the point of leaving the entire area.

Crossing nearly half the Land of Fire!!

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Naruto planned to take Boruto to a safe area. After all, rescuing Sarada was urgent, and Boruto's speed would delay the journey too much.

If you think this book is good, to avoid not finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Boruto didn't care, smiling and obediently staying on a stone in a certain area, looking very comfortable, quietly waiting for Naruto to return.

Relieved, Naruto didn't hesitate to use the power of the Nine-Tails. The orange-gold giant fox floated in mid-air, rushing towards Sarada's location.

Noticing Naruto's back fading into the horizon, the weather today was particularly gloomy. Fortunately, Naruto forcibly broke through the sky and cut open a cloud, bringing sunlight back to the ground.

With a bang, the Shadow Clone that Naruto had brought here dissipated.

Sasuke, having forcibly attacked several times without breaking the cloak-wearer's defense, his face darkened. At the same time, Sasuke raised one hand towards the sky, and boundless lightning surged with purple waves, the sky completely turning into a swamp of lightning.

"Susanoo: Lightning Release: Kirin Descent!"

The lightning induced under the Complete Body Susanoo mode was dozens of times more powerful and extensive than Sasuke's own. The huge lightning gathered into one, like a real Kirin descending to earth. Its body was so huge that it completely rivaled the Tailed Beasts!

Before the huge lightning landed, arcs of electricity like raindrops were already in the air, causing the entire area of the sky to shimmer, as if stars were falling from the clouds, scattering crystal-clear colors.

The cloak-wearer sitting on the Buddha's head quietly stood up, looking at this spectacular and glorious scene, seemingly inspired to fight. So they also poured out all the power they had just condensed in one breath. The Buddha under their feet instantly increased several times in size, proudly standing above the Susanoo.

"Sasuke Uchiha, this was originally the ultimate technique I prepared for the two of you, but unfortunately, only you are left to taste it!"

The cloak-wearer laughed wantonly, their hearty laughter seeming to drown out the thunder. The rumbling thunder and the hee-hee-ha-ha laughter painted the atmosphere of the end of the world, the heavy pressure as if the sky was collapsing.

——Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!

With this level of attack, Sasuke, as he was now, had no power to contend with it at all. That's why Sasuke had gathered lightning in advance, trying to severely injure the cloak-wearer first.

The light of the Lightning Release illuminated the sky, and the blazing white light dispelled all darkness. Even the shadows were covered by the strong light. The huge Kirin descended from the sky, running slowly, a real Kirin in person.

Finally, the Lightning Release descended on the top of the Buddha. Sasuke did have a gambling element, that is, forcibly interrupting the outbreak of 'True Several Thousand Hands', but it was in vain.

The giant hands spreading from the True Several Thousand Hands were like Guanyin descending, sacred, great, and inviolable miracles!

Countless arms carried the power of ten thousand jun, and the Lightning Release Kirin quickly dispersed under this bombardment. The broken lightning wrapped around the arms instead increased the power of the True Several Thousand Hands.

In the ziz-ziz rumbling sound, the exploding thousand hands struck the Complete Body Susanoo. This was an unavoidable wide-range, high-intensity ninjutsu, and Sasuke's own arrow of the Bow of Indra, which had accumulated all his power, also dissipated in the thousands of fist lights, like a stone sinking into the sea!

In the intense smoke, the earth was lifted by this move, rapidly collapsing and disintegrating. The Susanoo barely supported itself in the fist light, like a lone boat, and finally collapsed.

Just as the cloak-wearer was complacent, the clouds above their head suddenly split open, and bright sunlight shone on the smoke, forming a Tyndall effect. At this moment, the shape of the light seemed to condense into a golden blade, and its length was infinite, as if it was a sharp sword drawn from the sky.

Boruto's figure in the bright sunlight and the huge sharp sword was like an invisible one, as if this was an attack launched by heaven rather than man, and therefore the power of this attack was infinitely increased.

——Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!!

At this moment, all was silent and still. The world seemed to freeze in this instant, all objects motionless, save for the slowly descending sword from the clouds—a silent, deadly invasion.

The Top Transformed Buddha was sliced open like tofu, and the cloaked figure vanished without a trace under the sword's light. The subsequent attacks were forced to cease due to the Buddha's disappearance.

A disheveled Sasuke collapsed to the ground, as if witnessing a true miracle, yet he couldn't sense the one who had performed it!

Only hurried footsteps approached his ears, crushing the dust of the earth. Boruto ran towards Sasuke's location, "Are you okay, Uncle Sasuke? That attack was terrifying!"

Boruto helped Sasuke up. The thick smoke made the oxygen levels frighteningly low, so Boruto carried Sasuke away from the battlefield for the time being.

Once in a safe area, Boruto quickly used the Mystical Palm Technique to heal Sasuke. Watching Boruto's skilled movements, Sasuke couldn't help but think that he was calmer and more responsible than Naruto
