Fierce Battle, Part Two

With a wave of his right hand, Uzumaki Hane saw countless Lava Shuriken of red Inazuma, densely packed, rapidly hurtling towards the Seito.

Seito's entire body crackled with lightning, transforming into Raikage as he constantly dodged. By the time the Lava Shuriken disappeared, Seito's clothes were somewhat torn, with scorch marks on them.

"I have to deal with other people, I don't have time to entangle with you." After saying that, Uzumaki Hane spread his arms and seemed to transform into a large bird, swooping down on Seito. In the blink of an eye, he was on top of Seito's head, his right hand expanding to ten times its original size, and smashing down on Seito's head.

The speed was so fast that Seito only reacted at this moment, and had no time to dodge. A small knife appeared in his hand, and he directly blocked the attack. Bang! The knife could not withstand the power of the Uzumaki Hane and was directly knocked away. The next instant, the Rock Fist directly smashed into Seito's chest. Seito spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

A fierce glint flashed in Uzumaki Hane rapidly formed beneath his feet, erupting violently. Using this powerful force, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Seito, who was still flying backward. His right hand lashed out, and "Hell Hound" pierced through Seito's chest, burning the inside away.

With a thud, the two crashed to the ground together, and Seito turned into dirt and dissipated on the ground.

Uzumaki Hane glanced at the remaining soil on the ground, then looked in another direction, lost in thought. Then, with a flash, he chased after the direction Nauma had just left. Uzumaki Hane quickly caught up with him, Nauma was lying on the ground, turning into soil and slowly disappearing.

Uzumaki Hane muttered to himself, "As expected, the opponent has already discovered that Limelight has failed, so they plan to focus all their efforts on Kong." Then, he transformed into a series of afterimages and disappeared from the spot.

Uzumaki Hane moved quickly through the village, trying to find Naruto. Just as he landed, Shikamaru ran out from around a corner.

Shikamaru spotted Uzumaki Hane at a glance and said happily, "Yu, it's perfect timing to run into you. I need your help."

"What is it, Shikamaru?" Uzumaki Hane was initially puzzled, then suddenly remembered that Shikamaru was supposed to be going to deal with the resurrected corpses. However, those corpses were quite troublesome; in the original story, if the caster hadn't been eliminated, it would have been a real problem.

Shikamaru said, "I was ordered by Lady Tsunade to eliminate the invading corpses. Some time ago, most of the ninjas were sent by Lady Tsunade to the border of the Land of Fire to investigate the destruction of the village, so there aren't many ninjas left in the village now. I hope you can come and help me."

"No problem, let's go." Uzumaki Hane knew it would be difficult to find the caster in a short time, so in order to reduce casualties in the village, she readily agreed to Shikamaru's request.

The two quickly headed towards the battlefield, encountering Ino and Choji who had come seeking reinforcements along the way. The four of them quickly arrived at the battlefield.

Although the resurrected corpses were not particularly strong, there were simply too many of them. The ninjas were gradually becoming overwhelmed, and the situation on the field looked increasingly precarious.

With a loud shout, Uzumaki Hane's right hand rapidly transformed into lava, and he swung it towards a pile of corpses in front of him. A Rock Fist shot out quickly, directly destroying the pile of corpses.

Naruto could vaguely sense where Sora was, and he quickly headed in a certain direction. Sakura and Yamato followed closely behind Naruto, and the three of them moved swiftly between the rooftops.

Soon, the three arrived at a forest. Sakura couldn't help but ask, "Naruto, is Sora in this direction?"

"Yes, that's right. I have a feeling that Sora is over there, and we're very close." Naruto said in a deep voice after hearing Sakura's words, with some anxiety in his eyes. He had a vague feeling that something bad might happen to Sora if he didn't get there quickly.

Seeing Naruto's anxious expression, Sakura didn't press him further about why he could sense where Naruto was, and followed closely behind him. Yamato also remained silent, following quietly behind the two.

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and their legs gave way. Before they could react, they all fell into the cave below.

At this critical moment, Yamato remained calm and quickly Hand Seals. Two wooden strips wrapped around Naruto and Sakura, and he threw them out of the cave.

"Naruto, Sakura, you two get out of here first." Yamato shouted to Naruto and Sakura above while trying to stop his descent by controlling the wooden plank.

Naruto and Sakura landed safely on the ground, anxiously looking towards the cave ahead. The cave was unfathomably deep, and Yamato was nowhere to be seen. Just then, Yamato's voice came from above. Naruto hesitated for a moment, but Sakura immediately said, "Naruto, let's go first. With Yamato-sensei's strength, he should be alright." She pulled Naruto and quickly left the spot.

At the bottom of the cave, Yamato landed steadily on the ground.

"I heard you're skilled in Wood Release?" a voice came from ahead.

Yamato shouted, "Who are you?" A man walked slowly towards them, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Sakura finally found Sora in the forest. Sora was being trampled on the ground by Kazuma, and an evil Chakra was boiling over his body. Naruto was all too familiar with this Chakra; it was the Chakra that sealed the Nine-Tails within him.

"How is this possible? Sora, what's wrong with you?" Naruto shouted incredulously, rushing towards Sora.

"You can't come near here, Naruto." Kazuma waved his staff, holding it up in front of Naruto to block Naruto.

Naruto shouted, "Get out of the way!" A Kunai appeared in his hand, and he swung it at Kazuma.

Seeing Naruto attack him, Kazuma casually swung his staff, blocking Naruto's Kunai with a clang, knocking Naruto back a few steps. Naruto shouted, gripping the Kunai, and continued to attack Kazuma.

Kazuma didn't take it seriously, casually waving his scepter to block Naruto's attack. Clang, clang, clang, Naruto launched more than a dozen attacks, but still couldn't break through Kazuma's defenses.

At that moment, Sakura landed next to Naruto and suddenly struck out with her Kazuma was caught off guard and felt a tremendous force strike him. He stumbled back more than ten steps.

Kazuma felt something was wrong with the scepter in his hand. He looked down and was shocked to find that it had been bent by Sakura's punch.

Sakura stopped attacking and stopped Naruto, saying, "Naruto, calm down."

Naruto knew he had acted impulsively, but when he suddenly saw the Nine-Tails Chakra emanating from Sora, Naruto remembered the way people looked at Sora when he first entered the Fire Temple. It reminded him of how people looked at him when he was a child, and all the questions he had in his mind instantly became clear. How could he not act impulsively?

"Sakura, I'm alright." Sakura's words calmed Naruto down.
