Unsolvable

Sarada opened her eyes in a daze, the Sharingan's vision etching the details of the surrounding environment into her mind, and the memories before she lost consciousness flooded back like a burst dam.

"It hurts!!!" Sarada exclaimed.

There was no one around, so her voice was very soft, but it could carry far, the ethereal environment reflecting Sarada's empty heart, a completely bewildered state of mind.

She thought about getting up, and as soon as the thought entered her mind, the tactile senses of various parts of her body finally gave feedback, followed by unimaginable, devastating, unbearable pain.

If pain at its extreme would elicit a heart-wrenching roar, Sarada couldn't even make a sound now, and the taste of rust kept churning in her mouth, the liquid of blood filling her entire chest cavity.

"Oh, I remember, I must have fallen from the sky. That mysterious man is really ruthless, actually just abandoning her like that."

The severe pain continued, constantly reminding Sarada of her current state. There was no doubt that she was done for, but strangely, her body kept spasming in pain, as if reminding Sarada that she could still be saved.

Because there was pain, proving that the body was still 'alive'. If there was really no sensation, no feeling at all, it might be even more despairing than the torment of pain now.

A very long time passed again, a period that was undoubtedly tormenting for Sarada, with a tearing pain coming from her body every second, and she would be awakened by the pain even if she wanted to pass out.

Unconsciously, she seemed to see Naruto's figure, launching deadly attacks like a madman. In her memory, Naruto was always gentle, and she never thought that someone as sunny as Naruto would launch attacks like a madman.

That no longer belonged to the category of human beings, but more like a beast going on a rampage, or when a beast that had been hungry for days saw delicious food, it would pounce on it so desperately, then open its mouth full of jagged teeth, tear open the prey's skin, and drink the prey's blood to its fill.

"Seventh Hokage...?"

What was he persisting in? Clearly his body was already so weak, visibly empty, with a hollowness that even chakra couldn't fill, stemming from mental exhaustion.

Naruto proved time and time again with his actions that he was sticking to the bold words he had previously made, launching a fierce attack without a moment's rest. On the ground, there were several shadow clones gathering Sage Mode, barely supporting his uninterrupted attacks.

Kurama really couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Enough, Naruto. If Sarada is really dead, you're just wasting chakra here to no avail. Why not try other methods?"

The weak Naruto was still stubbornly repeating the action, condensing a Tailed Beast Ball, launching it, and crushing it.

"Sealing techniques, for dealing with this kind of unreasonable enemy, sealing techniques are undoubtedly the most direct and barbaric method, so barbaric that it imprisoned me for hundreds of years," Kurama sighed.

Hearing this, Naruto slowed down his attack, facing the White-Robed Man who was clearly standing in front of him but seemed infinitely far away, and gritting his teeth, he began to form the hand seals for a sealing technique.

"I thought the Hokage was finally willing to rest, but it turns out he just changed his way of attacking?" the White-Robed Man said with emotion, still unmoved.

"If you were really invincible, you wouldn't keep standing here letting me hit you, even though it hasn't caused an effective offensive," Naruto's weak voice came out.

The seals were completed, and the complex sorcery was exploiting the chakra aura that had not dissipated in this area, but the Uzumaki Clan's exquisite and unparalleled sealing technique, when it met the White-Robed Man, was like sand falling into the sea, so vulnerable.

"Even sealing techniques don't work?"

Naruto murmured to himself, unable to think of any other way to cause an effective attack.

Perhaps only waiting for Sasuke to come over and use his Rinnegan-level dōjutsu might be effective against the Mangekyō.

The White-Robed Man seemed to see Naruto's thoughts and mocked, "Why do you think I separated you two? It's to defeat you one by one, Naruto. With your current physical strength, I'm afraid you can only barely release a Rasengan, right?"

The White-Robed Man's smug ridicule undoubtedly enraged Naruto, but he was indeed extremely weak now, and even levitation was being maintained by Kurama. He was afraid that if Kurama stopped, Naruto would fall to the sky.

Only then did Naruto's face turn ugly, regretting that he was too impulsive. Since things had come to this, it seemed that he could only grit his teeth and hope that Sasuke could arrive as soon as possible.

One of the two lonely shadow clones on the ground immediately dispersed, and another stream of pure chakra provided Naruto with a suitable supplement. The chakra in his body had long been exhausted, and at this time it was like dead trees reviving in spring.

The White-Robed Man raised his eyebrows. He, who had not moved all along, finally made a move at this moment, but he simply aimed the Mangekyō at Naruto. The wary Naruto immediately retreated, retreating to a safe position.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't escape this ninjutsu no matter what," the White-Robed Man said confidently.

Naruto, who had a bad premonition, was about to resist when he suddenly lost his sense of chakra. Even the Nine-Tails temporarily lost contact with him. Without Kurama's support, even Naruto couldn't resist gravity and fell straight to the ground.

"The most bizarre death of the Hokage in history, falling to his death!!" the White-Robed Man laughed.

At this moment, Sasuke and Boruto finally arrived. Just as Sasuke was still confused as to why he suddenly arrived here, he saw the weak and powerless Naruto and immediately used the Rinnegan's dōjutsu, using Amenotejikara to switch positions with Naruto.

Boruto was originally next to Sasuke, and when he saw him switch positions, he immediately grabbed Naruto's hand, but among the people present, only Sasuke could fly for the time being, and that was only on the premise of activating Susanoo.

Therefore, Boruto and Naruto still fell from the sky uncontrollably. Seeing this, Sasuke did not hesitate to activate Susanoo, preparing to catch the two.

But the White-Robed Man made a move, the Mangekyō flickering, and simply released Fire Release: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation Arrow!"

This was a Fire Release ninjutsu with a faster release and spread speed, more like a straight flame spear, striking towards Sasuke's Susanoo.

Sasuke didn't think much of the power of just one Fire Release, but the fire arrow hit Susanoo and easily shattered it!

"Nani!!!" Sasuke was shocked.

The fall was inevitable. Sasuke directly summoned his summoning beast Garuda, a strong hawk flying over, which allowed Sasuke to avoid falling to the ground.

Soon Sasuke rescued Boruto and Naruto, gliding in the sky on the hawk's back. Naruto's emotions were a little low, and his listless face had lost its former glory. Anyone could see that he had tried his best.

"Thanks for your hard work, Naruto. Sarada..."

"Sorry, Sasuke, I..." Naruto lowered his head, not daring to face him.

"I can see that the enemy is very strong, and even easily shattered my Susanoo," Sasuke said calmly.

"The enemy has an ability similar to Kamui that completely avoids attacks, and the duration of his ability is even as long as an entire afternoon!!

Even sealing techniques don't work," Naruto said.

Sasuke couldn't help but frown. Was it such a tricky ability?... No wonder Naruto was defeated with his strength.
