Boom...
Amidst a loud noise, Naruto, in 'Six Paths Sage Mode', was once again sent flying by Fūma Ichirō, smashing heavily into a sand dune and stirring up sky-filling dust.
At this moment, Menma shouted: "Chance!"
"I understand!"
Naruto nodded, using the raised dust as cover, and pounced towards Fūma Ichirō again.
Swish...
Naruto's speed was extremely fast, appearing like a residual image in the dust. In a blink of an eye, he brought up a sharp whistling sound of breaking wind!
In the next instant, Naruto penetrated the dust and punched towards Fūma Ichirō.
Fūma Ichirō raised his arm, and with a snap, accurately caught Naruto's incoming punch without error.
"!?"
Naruto was startled.
It wasn't strange that Fūma Ichirō could block his punch. What was truly strange was that the opponent blocked it so easily, as if possessing foresight.
It should be known that Fūma Ichirō was not a Dojutsu Kekkei Genkai ninja. Under the condition where sky-filling dust obscured vision, he shouldn't possess such strong anticipation ability.
"Hehe!"
Seeing the surprise on Naruto's face, Fūma Ichirō grinned, revealing a weird smile.
Whoosh...
Just then, the dust overhead was swept away by a storm, revealing a huge black Rasengan.
Undoubtedly, while Naruto launched a frontal offensive, Menma, as a spiritual body, exited Naruto's body and activated 'Great Spiralling Ring' in the air, attacking Fūma Ichirō from above.
At this time, Naruto should retreat because the power of the 'Great Spiralling Ring' activated by Menma condensing a 'Truth-Seeking Ball' was extremely terrifying, capable of easily erasing an entire mountain peak. If Naruto didn't retreat in time, he would likely be affected.
But just as Naruto prepared to retreat, he shockingly found that his fist held by Fūma Ichirō couldn't break free.
Only then did he realize what Fūma Ichirō's weird smile just now meant, and he was greatly horrified in his heart: "Could it be that he even anticipated Menma's attack just now?"
"Damn it!"
Menma in the air saw that Naruto couldn't break free for a moment. If this 'Great Spiralling Ring' really bombarded down with full force, Naruto would probably be heavily injured too. So he had to withdraw the chakra of the 'Great Spiralling Ring' at the last moment, greatly reducing the power of this sure-kill strike.
Rumble...
As the 'Great Spiralling Ring' crashed down, the entire desert shook, and the sand not yet settled was lifted high again.
The airships around the battlefield were all blown away, chaotic in the wind. The people on the ships were tossed dizzy.
"We hid this far, still not enough?"
"What exactly happened just now?"
"Damn it, going to crash!"
The researchers on the airships were too busy taking care of themselves to observe the fierce battle erupting on the battlefield.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Orochimaru flew out of the airship alone, activated 'Shinjutsu Chakra Mode', hovered in mid-air, and stared fixedly at the distant battlefield.
On the other side.
Sasuke and the others also leaped out from the bumpy airship.
Among them, Sasuke directly activated the Complete Body 'Susanoo', flew in the air, and manipulated 'Susanoo' to support Yakumo and Haku with both palms.
Sasuke possessed the 'Six-Tomoe Rinnegan', so even with dust filling the sky, he could barely observe the situation on the battlefield.
Yakumo had the 'Ketsuryūgan' (Blood Dragon Eye), and Haku activated the 'Transparent World'. The dust didn't affect them, so they could also see the situation on the battlefield clearly.
In the huge crater, Naruto lay on the ground, panting heavily.
The golden chakra cloak of 'Six Paths Sage Mode' on his body looked much dimmer at this moment. Some places looked damaged, with traces of fluttering away.
Menma flew back into Naruto's body and complained: "Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier. This isn't insight at all, it's some kind of foresight ability!"
Naruto was somewhat puzzled: "Foresight!?"
Menma speculated: "I suspect this guy should have awakened some kind of Shinjutsu that can foresee the future!"
"How is this possible!?"
Naruto had a look of disbelief.
"Tch, what's so strange about this!" Pausing, Menma said: "When chakra is strong to a certain extent, foreseeing the future, prying into fate, these are not impossible. Didn't the Great Toad Sage say we are the Children of Prophecy!"
Naruto said: "If it's really like this, then how do we defeat him?"
Menma's face darkened a bit: "I haven't thought of it yet, but this guy definitely isn't invincible. There must be a way to deal with him!"
Swish...
Just then, Delta executed Amado's order and flew to the center of the battlefield, announcing: "Test over, stop fighting!"
Hearing this, although Naruto was somewhat unwilling, he obediently deactivated 'Six Paths Sage Mode'. Opposite him, Fūma Ichirō smiled and patted the dust off his body.
Despite Naruto looking wretched, Fūma Ichirō opposite him actually wasn't much better off. After all, he endured Menma's 'Great Spiralling Ring' together with Naruto. Comparatively, Naruto had 'Six Paths Sage Mode' to enhance defense, while he took it head-on. So the injuries he suffered were no less than Naruto's. If they continued to fight, he might not necessarily outlast Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
As the two stopped, the dust in the desert gradually settled, revealing a sky with bright sunshine.
The Research Institute's airships landed one after another. Researchers complained while surveying the battlefield and collecting data from this battle.
Naruto returned to Sasuke and the others, scratching his head: "Sorry, I couldn't defeat him!"
Yakumo comforted: "It's okay, the opponent is obviously not an ordinary experimental subject!"
Haku nodded in agreement: "En, don't mind it too much!"
Sasuke said: "It seems I still have to take action!"
Naruto hurriedly reminded: "Sasuke, there's something wrong with him. Don't be careless!"
"Hmph!"
Sasuke snorted lightly.
Yakumo asked curiously: "Naruto, did you discover something? Where exactly is he abnormal?"
Naruto said: "He seems to be able to foresee the future. Every time, he can accurately anticipate in advance, making my offensives ineffective!"
"What!?"
Yakumo and Haku were both startled.
Sasuke also showed a strange look.
Because an ability like foreseeing the future sounded extremely profound and mysterious.
After a pause, Yakumo asked: "Could he have awakened some kind of Shinjutsu?"
Haku shook his head: "It's hard to judge now. Don't forget, Shion can occasionally see future images too."
Yakumo said: "True, let's wait for the Research Institute's follow-up report!"
Sasuke had an eager expression on his face: "If he really possesses the ability to foresee the future, he would be an opponent worth fighting!"
Compared to others who were guessing, Orochimaru, who was also surveying the battlefield, was unusually certain that Fūma Ichirō definitely possessed a Shinjutsu, and it was a very powerful, very tempting Shinjutsu!
