Naruto stared at the three-headed serpent that resembled the one Orochimaru had summoned.
[His eyes sparkled.]
"The legendary Sannin."
["The Three Holy Lands."]
"The toad of Mount Myōboku...a sage?"
"The Slug Sage."
"And there's the White Snake Immortal..."
[After a few murmurs.]
Naruto shook his head.
If this level of giant serpent is the mainstay of the battle.
So these so-called three holy sites are just so-so.
[In the face of sacrifice, one seems unworthy even to carry shoes.]
[However, this refers to a product of the old era, before the ninja age.]
[Choose the tallest among the short.]
[certainly. ]
Naruto remained skeptical of this idea.
Since they call themselves the Three Great Holy Lands... it's also possible that the ninja world refers to them with a title of respect.
That must have its unique advantages.
[Holy Land, quite the boast.]
Hinata tugged at Naruto's hand.
[Seemingly due to physical contact, and being alone with her, Hinata's heart rate quickened, and her pretty face flushed slightly.]
This was completely different from her behavior in front of the other women; it was like night and day.
Seeing this, Hinata Hyuga seemed to be affected by the black-framed world.
Her heart was racing, and her pretty face was burning hot, as if it could boil water.
Little Firework felt her sister embracing her, and suddenly she turned into a furnace.
Her small mouth opened slightly involuntarily.
pity.
Hinata was prepared, and every time she saw an embarrassing scene...
No matter what happens to me, I just need to shut Little Firework's mouth first.
"Mmm~!"
Little Fireworks' eyes widened; she hadn't expected her sister to have predicted her.
Behind the two, Hinata Natsu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
[In the sky.]
Naruto had already stored a large amount of chakra in the dark clouds.
[At this moment.]
He opened Kagura's Mind's Eye to perceive.
[At the instant the chakra connected above the dark clouds.]
The technique is complete.
"Naruto, should we make a move?"
Hinata's gaze swept over the buildings.
[It landed on the three-headed serpent in the Dragon Cave.]
That location.
We're not far from the Hyuga residence.
But even now.
We haven't seen a single Hyuga clan ninja yet.
It's quite obvious.
The entire Hyuga clan has mobilized.
[To the point that...their ancestral lands were no longer cared for.]
Hinata's meaning is quite clear.
She was going to stop the three-headed serpent from Ryuchi Cave.
Naruto gave Hinata a gentle smile, a slight upturn to his lips.
"There's no need to make a special trip there."
[The words fell.]
Naruto's raised hand slammed down.
[Buzz—! ...
The entire world seemed to be enveloped in lightning.
The once dark and gloomy Konoha suddenly brightened.
[Next.]
[BOOM—!!!]
[A loud explosion.]
The three-headed serpent of Ryuchi Cave has fallen.
[Buried in flames!]
Hinata's eyes widened, she covered her mouth slightly, her face filled with disbelief.
[This technique...Sasuke just used it.]
[Lightning Release... Kirin!]
[But. ]
[When Sasuke used it, he almost lost half his life.]
[With Naruto...it's all so easy and relaxing!]
The cockroaches were also dumbfounded.
However, he quickly realized what was happening.
That's how it should be!
They seem to feel uncomfortable if things aren't done this way.
Gaara raised his head.
[Looking at the Qilin that had just flashed by.]
He knew.
[What if Sasuke's Kirin had been replaced by Naruto's Kirin?]
[estimate...]
He had already seen his mother, Carol, come to meet him.
Sasuke, who had just landed, had a twitching eye.
He had just figured out... how to guide everyone in understanding the principles of Lightning Release: Kirin.
[As a result... in the blink of an eye, Naruto used it.]
[They don't even need to go high in the sky; they can use a thousand birds to guide them.]
The target of the attack was the three-headed serpent of Ryuchi Cave.
They don't look like someone you want to mess with.
Everyone: "..."
As expected, it turned out this way.
Everyone gave a wry smile.
Reasonable.
But it is indeed...something that is hard to accept.
That's so casual.
Even the Thousand Birds that act as a tether don't need to be used.
Moreover, the moment the Qilin appeared...
Many people know this.
As long as Naruto wants.
In the large screen with black borders.
Above the dark clouds above Konoha.
Several enormous Qilin can charge out in succession.
Tobirama Senju: "We've arrived."
Tobirama Senju: "I knew this would happen..."
Mei Terumi: "Wow...that's amazing~!"
Mei Terumi: "So cool~!"
Mei Terumi: "Naruto with black-rimmed glasses, are you already heading towards godhood?"
Mabu-i: "If the Qilin is compared to divine punishment... then it is indeed so."
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
[The unicorn falls. ]
The crisis at the Hyuga clan's territory has been averted.
Naruto gazed thoughtfully at the three-headed serpent of Ryuchi Cave, now engulfed in flames.
If I kill him directly, will I be unable to return to Ryuchi Cave?
It's alright.
[Since it's a psychic technique.]
Conversely, the opposite is reverse psychic communication.
The Three Holy Sites.
Let's go check it out again later.
Then, Naruto looked up at the platform.
[Above.]
Orochimaru has removed his disguise.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has also donned his combat armor.
Perfect.
Orochimaru and Naruto locked eyes.
Naruto paused for a moment.
It's normal for Orochimaru to look at me.
The commotion caused by Lightning Release: Kirin was indeed significant.
[In addition, there was our previous encounter in the Forest of Death.]
Orochimaru wasn't stupid; he knew he was absolutely capable of doing this.
[only. ]
What puzzled Naruto.
Orochimaru... why does that guy's gaze look so strange?
[It's like the way the White Zetsu and the little white monsters look at me.]
But... this isn't right, is it?
This was the first time Naruto had ever been somewhat hesitant to make eye contact with someone.
Orochimaru's alluring snake eyes.
[It's practically breathing fire.]
It seems like I wish I could...
On the other side.
Danzo Shimura stopped abruptly, his face filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
"Lightning Release?"
"Impossible...impossible!"
"That kind of lightning release... I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it."
"It wasn't done by human intervention!"
[It's absolutely a coincidence.]
[It was precisely because ninjutsu merged with the power of nature that the lightning deformed.]
[Shimura Danzo kept comforting himself.]
[Make sure your body doesn't stagnate; getting through this quickly is the most important thing.]
[at the same time. ]
[A few miles from Danzo Shimura.]
[Underneath Obito Uchiha's orange swirling mask.]
[His distorted face was etched with a deep sense of gravity.]
Just now, it sensed danger as well.
[It's important to know that this happened after two accidents.]
[Obito Uchiha can now be considered a true "rat."]
We dare not be careless at all.
[As soon as you leave the Divine Might Space, immediately stay alert.]
[Be prepared to etherealize your body at any time.]
If we could go back to the night of the Uchiha clan's massacre...
It was confident that it would be absolutely impossible for it to be touched.
[But that lightning bolt that looked like a Qilin... it was too fast!]
[Unless it remains blurred.]
Otherwise...they absolutely wouldn't be able to react in time.
"However, this technique..."
Obito Uchiha looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
[Thoughts began to flow, and he was about to speak.]
Suddenly, Obito Uchiha realized that the White Zetsu in his hand seemed even more strange.
[Look down.]
[Buzz—]
Obito Uchiha's pupils suddenly contracted.
[The white Zetsu's face was almost pressed against its orange swirling mask.]
[His eyes, so close yet so far, were filled with madness.]
"Lord Obito~!"
"I think I can't hold back anymore!"
