Venomous Snake Valley
Just as Shikamaru finished his battle, he saw Ino carrying Choji, Sakura, and the others back. At first, he thought they had failed to intercept him and were preparing to fight again.
He never imagined that just twenty-six people could kill three hundred Sound Ninja.
"You lot, I've already prepared a battle plan. All you need to do is hold them off. Do you know how dangerous this is? If it weren't for Hongshi and the others, you'd all be dead by now."
"Hey Shikamaru, isn't this the perfect time? Besides, we already know that doing this is wrong."
Ino was still very weak, and waved her hand at Shikamaru: "Hey Shikamaru, don't be so angry."
"How can I not be angry! You are responsible for the deaths of the raiding party members."
Just as Shikamaru was reprimanding Choji and Ino, Kiba Inuzuka's reconnaissance squad returned from afar.
" Shikamaru! There are no more Sound Ninja nearby, it's safe."
Shikamaru stopped, sighed, and looked at the Konoha Ninja resting on the ground. "Everyone rest. We'll head towards Otogakure the next day to rescue all the hostages."
Sakura leaned closer. "Captain Shikamaru! Shouldn't we announce the victory now?"
Shikamaru scratched his head. "Haven't you all already figured it out? Besides, saying that is really troublesome."
Sakura looked at the now incredibly enthusiastic Rock Lee and said, "Then, Rock Lee, you go ahead."
Rock Lee laughed loudly, "Oh! My youth has long wanted to shout a victory cry!"
" Konoha! They won!"
Everyone shouted their victory.
" Konoha! Konoha! Konoha!"
After statistics were compiled, it was found that of the two hundred Konoha ninjas, fewer than thirty died with the help of Hongshi. Most of the rest were poisoned and fully recovered thanks to the efforts of medical-nin and the use of Super Military Rations Pill.
When he discovered that nearly half of the casualties were from the raiding force, Shikamaru flew into a rage again, beating Ino Choji mercilessly.
Finally, Hanabi Hyuga and Kosuke tried to persuade them to stop, which stopped the situation.
Kosuke: " Shikamaru- kun, in war, it's rare for people not to die. You don't need to blame yourself too much. Two hundred against six hundred, and on their territory no less, that's already a very impressive achievement. You will become an outstanding strategist in the future."
In fact, Shikamaru had already prepared a very comprehensive battle plan, but under the same circumstances, he would likely lose more than half of his troops, so he was angry about his own lack of strength.
In the face of absolute power, any battle plan is superfluous.
Shikamaru, watching Tenten fiddling with the Blue Bird Type One flying device, asked, " Tenten, where did you buy this Hongshi ninja tool?"
Tenten thought for a moment, "It seems like I bought it from a merchant from the Land of Spring, along with this sniper rifle and RPG."
Shikamaru, with his exceptional intelligence, recalled how all ninja tools Ninjutsu techniques were helpless against the Hongshi when it flew through the air and unleashed its Ninjutsu. He realized the importance of this ninja tool. "Right, where did the Hongshi go?"
Rock Lee kept doing push-ups on the ground, seemingly with inexhaustible strength. "Oh! Hongshi-kun took Naruto and Sister Gyokucha to train, saying he's going to teach them a Ninjutsu even more powerful than the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Shikamaru was startled. "You mean Naruto learned the Fourth's Flying Thunder God?"
Choji pulled out a bag of potato chips and started eating. "Yeah! Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take down dozens of Sound Ninja in one go!"
Shikamaru shook his head. "What kind of monsters are they?"
Hongshi sat listlessly on the Earth Train: "It's been so long, so boring."
The Earth Prison, five meters thick, made it impossible for Hongshi to hear any sounds from inside. After waiting for a while, he couldn't bear it any longer and made a hole in the Earth Prison.
During the bloody battle, Naruto and Gyokucha saw the head peeking out from the top of the Earth Prison by the Hongshi and immediately started cursing.
"You bastard, Hongshi!"
"Ah! Boss, I'm going to kill you!"
After their chakra was sealed, Gyokucha and Naruto could only Taijutsu Chakra, but how could they possibly defeat fifty Impure World Reincarnation Sound Ninja? Both of them were covered in blood, but just when they were seriously injured, Hongshi's Illusory Nine Dragons Sealing lit up, triggering Creation Rebirth, which completely healed their injuries.
Hongshi shouted, " The Sealing Jutsu I placed on you can only be broken with the Adamantine Sealing Chains. Creation Rebirth can last for three days. Good luck!"
The two were constantly injured and recovered during the battle, and their anger grew as they watched the seemingly invincible Sound Ninja.
This continued until the next day...
Hongshi lay down on top of the Earth Prison and fell asleep.
"Hateful!"
Gyokucha drew two samurai swords from his body and roared. The Illusory Nine Dragons Sealing Jutsu on his body cracked slightly.
Hongshi sensed this and his body trembled. " Naruto! Go for it! You're almost there!"
A burst of energy emanated from Naruto, forcing back the surrounding Sound Ninja.
A similar situation occurred with the Gyokucha nearby.
Amidst the agony of multiple fatal wounds, the hidden bloodlines within them finally began to awaken.
While fighting the Sound Ninja, Gyokucha Naruto, " Naruto-kun! Can you feel it? That burning Chakra within you."
Although Naruto is usually impulsive, he forced himself to calm down in this situation. "Hmm!"
In Hongshi's vision, he saw golden light emanating from the two people, the unique light of the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
The light emanated even stronger fluctuations in the battles, until noon, when Gyokucha and Naruto's spirits were stretched to the limit, but they still could not break the Sealing Jutsu.
Hongshi began to worry. "Isn't this too much of a stretch? Let's wait and see. If it's still not successful by nightfall, then we'll give up."
However, he still said in a cheeky tone, "Hey! If you guys aren't good enough, then forget it."
"You bastard! Shut up!"
"Boss, I swear, the first thing I'll do when we get out is kill you!"
Hongshi: "Oh, you're welcome. It's what I should do."
Provoked by this, Naruto and Gyokucha's bloodline power awakened further in their anger.
Finally, an hour later, Gyokucha let out a loud roar, and a large amount of golden light emanated from her body, like a cocoon of light. Then, Hongshi felt that the Sealing Jutsu on her body began to collapse.
Is it finally time for awakening?
"Crack! Crack!"
The cocoon of light burst open, revealing two golden chains with sharp spikes that shot out from Gyokucha's body, piercing through the bodies of the two rushing Sound Ninja. However, strangely, the bodies of the Impure World Reincarnation Sound Ninja struck by the Adamantine Sealing Chains began to rapidly disintegrate and scatter, leaving only a wisp of soul on the chains.
Hongshi Gyokucha only had two chains, Hong Shi sighed, "Has the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan been diluted to this extent because of the destruction of their kingdom? Let me help you."
Hongshi held his breath and extended his right finger. " Spirit Transformation Technique - Spirit Transfer."
An invisible, massive amount of Chakra was injected into Gyokucha's body. Gyokucha's body trembled, and a continuous stream of Chakra surged out. Two more golden chains flew out from behind him, and finally, a total of nine chains appeared before stopping.
Nine roots is the upper limit of the Adamantine Sealing Chains. Perhaps due to the awakening of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline, Gyokucha's red hair began to flutter, and the golden chains behind her, like golden snakes, began to attack the surrounding Sound Ninja.
Even Hongshi couldn't understand the nature of the Adamantine Sealing Chains. It was extremely hard, yet weightless, ignored all defenses, and possessed a sealing attribute. It was practically an all-around powerful Kekkei Genkai.
Seeing that Gyokucha had awakened her Kekkei Genkai, Naruto's bloodline seemed to resonate, growing stronger and stronger. Finally, as if an explosion had occurred inside him, the seal on his chest broke, and five golden chains shot out from his body.
"Hmm, like your mother, you also have five chains. I wasn't really keen on helping you cheat, but since you asked me, I'll do it. Spirit Transformation Technique: Spirit Split."
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Nine-Tails ' roar emanated from Naruto's body, interrupting the Hongshi, and a red Chakra Cloak began to appear on Naruto.
This terrified Hongshi, who immediately used Flying Thunder God to get to Naruto's side, placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, and began communicating with Nine-Tails) mentally. "Damn it, you dead fox, do you want to die?"
The sealed space where Nine-Tails was located was filled with golden chains, attacking the surrounding seals. Nine-Tails looked at Hongshi with a wronged expression. "This is all your fault! If Naruto awakens the Adamantine Sealing Chains, even the Eight Trigrams Seal will be destroyed."
Hongshi suddenly realized that even his Illusory Nine Dragons Sealing could be broken by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, let alone the Eight Trigrams Seal.
Seeing that the sealed space was about to be destroyed, Nine-Tails said, "Once the seal is broken, I will forcibly remove it, Naruto will die!"
Once the Tailed Beast is extracted from Jinchūriki, they will definitely die; this rule is currently beyond the reach of even the Hongshi.
Hongshi thought for a moment and said, "I understand, Kurama, don't resist."
Nine-Tails- Tails had a feeling that things weren't so simple, but Hongshi was someone who could easily kill her, so how could she dare to resist?
Hongshi looked at Naruto with a solemn expression. " Naruto, you are about to experience a very dangerous situation, but you must persevere and fully awaken the Adamantine Sealing Chains, otherwise you will die."
Naruto had never seen Hongshi show such an expression before. Although the surging Chakra within him was causing him immense pain, the sixth chain tightened and solidified, and he had no intention of giving up. " Hongshi, I'll hold on."
Hongshi placed his hand on Naruto's head, his right hand glowing with a white Nuclear Release light. "Well then, I'll begin. I hope your Uzumaki Clan bloodline can hold out a little longer."
" Preta Path - Sealing Jutsu - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!"
The giant Hongshi hand pierced Naruto's abdomen as if it were nothingness. The Preta Path ability directly absorbed the Eight Trigrams Seal. When he withdrew his hand, a huge red figure flew out of Naruto's body and landed on the side of the Earth Prison.
"Boss! If you just pull me out, Naruto will die!"
It was indeed the Nine-Tails.
Hongshi directly extracted the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body. As a Jinchūriki, Naruto's body trembled, his life force rapidly drained, and he was about to lose consciousness.
Without saying much, Hongshi's hand, which was resting on Naruto's head, glowed white. "Sage Art: Super Creation Rebirth! Naruto! Hang in there!"
In this situation, Super Creation Rebirth can only buy time for Naruto's death. Combined with the Uzumaki Clan's powerful vitality, it should give Naruto enough time to reassemble the chains.
Naruto regained some of his senses and remembered Hongshi's words. "Ah! Don't underestimate me! I won't die so easily!"
"Boom!"
Naruto's Chakra rapidly transformed, his bloodline power was further activated, and the iron chains solidified one by one, bursting out of his body and crashing into the stone wall, actually breaking through the Earth Prison.
In Hongshi's eyes, each second felt like an eternity. " Naruto, you're destined to become the greatest Hokage."
"I'm going to Hokage! I'm determined to be one!"
Finally, under Naruto's strong will, the nine iron chains solidified, and Hongshi continued, "Now control the nine iron chains to seal the Nine-Tails into your body! Quickly!"
After Naruto unleashed his power, his eyes glazed over again. Upon hearing what Hongshi said, he used the chains to bind the Nine-Tails.
Nine-Tails: "Going back again!"
Hongshi: "Enough with the nonsense. If you dare resist, I'll kill you."
Ring ring ring.
When the chains touched Nine-Tails's body, Nine-Tails's Chakra, Naruto spirit began to recover, thus escaping the crisis of death. Nine-Tails, on the other hand, seemed to melt and flowed into Naruto's body along the chains.
Seeing Nine-Tails's reluctant expression, Naruto laughed and said, "Thank you, Nine-Tails- san!"
"Cut."
After awakening the Adamantine Sealing Chains, it can be said to be immune to all Sealing Jutsu, and can only seal itself.
Hongshi suddenly remembered something, looking at the Eight Trigrams Seal Technique floating in his hand. "Oh dear, how could I forget your parents, Naruto! Absorb these too."
The Sealing Jutsu was placed on the iron chain, and the Eight Trigrams Seal Technique disintegrated, with two thin strands of chakra entering Naruto's body along with Nine-Tails Chakra.
Hongshi breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh dear, that was dangerous."
