To help Sara and her people buy time to enter the Inner Courtyard, Kamishiro and Uzumaki Naruto joined forces to try and hinder Anrokuzan's approach.
"Magnet Release! Sand Iron World Method!"
Kamishiro used Sand Iron to form a large barrier with long spikes, limiting Anrokuzan's range of movement.
However, Anrokuzan's power was too immense; with one punch, he shattered sections of the Sand Iron, making the containment effect extremely limited.
Uzumaki Naruto formed hand seals and pressed his hands to the ground.
"Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique!"
Above Anrokuzan, a giant toad appeared, landing on his body and pinning him down tightly.
But the giant toad struggled to hold him down, and it was clear it wouldn't be able to restrain Anrokuzan for long.
Sara ran to the stone gate of the Inner Courtyard, wanting to open it, but the stone gate remained motionless.
"How could it... how could it not open!"
Sara was so anxious that sweat poured down like rain; Anrokuzan was right there, and if they didn't get into the Inner Courtyard quickly, everyone would likely be killed by him.
Yako ran to Sara's side and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sara said anxiously, "Because of the impact of the tower collapsing, the door's mechanism might be broken!"
Sara tried with all her might to open the gate, but the stone gate remained unmoved.
The giant toad pinning down Anrokuzan could no longer hold him, as a massive surge of Dragon Vein Power blasted into it, forcing the toad to turn into smoke and return to Mount Myōboku.
"Magnet Release: Sand Iron Tri-Prism!"
"Chidori!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Rasengan!"
Kamishiro, Kakashi, Obito, Uzumaki Naruto, and Minato Namikaze kept besieging Anrokuzan; even Rin Nohara was constantly using explosive tags to bombard him.
However, due to the existence of the Dragon Vein Power, any damage on Anrokuzan's body would instantly heal.
Furthermore, because Minato Namikaze, Obito, and Kakashi kept trying to attack Anrokuzan's left chest, Anrokuzan realized his weakness might have been discovered and began to guard his left chest strictly.
Anrokuzan fired a large amount of indiscriminate purple energy blasts from his hands, causing Uzumaki Naruto's Shadow Clones to disappear like they were worthless.
But the next moment, Uzumaki Naruto would create even more Shadow Clones to continue attacking Anrokuzan.
This amount of Chakra made even Kamishiro envious.
You have to realize that the giant puppet that had restrained them earlier had absorbed Chakra from both him and Uzumaki Naruto, yet even so, Uzumaki Naruto's Chakra didn't seem to be affected.
Kamishiro muttered enviously, "I want to have the surname Uzumaki..."
Because of Anrokuzan's indiscriminate attacks, a portion of the buildings had already collapsed.
Many people outside the Inner Courtyard gate had been injured by falling rocks.
Sara gripped the Chakra blade Uzumaki Naruto had given her tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "Is it still impossible..."
Sara emotionally pounded on the stone gate of the Inner Courtyard: "Please, open! Open up! Please..."
Suddenly, as the Queen, Sara seemed to resonate with the Dragon Vein Power, and purple Dragon Vein Power appeared within the Chakra blade in her hand.
Furthermore, a beam of light shot out from the tip of the Chakra blade, aimed at the center of the Inner Courtyard stone gate's lock.
Sara stared blankly at the short Chakra blade in her hand, seemingly having realized something.
Immediately, with a determined expression, Sara gripped the hilt with both hands and thrust the Chakra blade into the center of the Inner Courtyard lock.
The purple Dragon Vein Power spread across the entire stone gate.
Sara pushed hard on the Chakra blade, trying to push the lock of the Inner Courtyard stone gate in, but it only moved a little; her strength alone was too weak.
The little chubby boy Sarai shouted, "Everyone! Hurry and help!"
Everyone present responded enthusiastically: "Okay!"
Everyone reached out and pressed on the lock to push it in; with their combined efforts, the lock was finally pushed into the stone gate, bursting with a dazzling purple light.
The stone gate opened automatically, and the Inner Courtyard finally appeared before everyone, causing them all to cheer.
Sara quickly commanded, "Everyone, hurry inside to take refuge!"
Watching her people, who were overjoyed to enter the Inner Courtyard, Sara wore a heartfelt smile on her face.
The smile on Sara's face slowly faded, and with a determined expression, she pulled out the Chakra blade, and the stone gate began to close automatically.
"Lady Sara!"
Sarai ran to the stone gate and asked worriedly, "Where are you going, Lady Sara?"
"I still have things I must do!"
Sara ran back to the battlefield where Kamishiro and the others were fighting.
Just then, Uzumaki Naruto was flung away and landed beside Sara.
"Naruto!" Sara helped Uzumaki Naruto up.
Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his waist and stood up: "Damn it, Sara, how are your people?"
Sara replied, "Everyone has gone to the safe Inner Courtyard to take refuge!"
"Found you! Sara!"
Anrokuzan pushed through the attacks from Kamishiro and the others, closing in on Sara.
Sara looked at Anrokuzan gravely, her eyes no longer filled with fear: "As I thought, if we don't stop the source of the Dragon Vein, Anrokuzan's power is indeed infinite."
Sara looked at Uzumaki Naruto with burning determination: "I will definitely seal the source of the Dragon Vein!"
Uzumaki Naruto nodded with a smile: "I believe you can definitely do it!"
"Yeah! I'm going!"
Sara took firm, unwavering steps and ran toward the source of the Dragon Vein.
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Anrokuzan with a stern expression: "We must stop this guy here!"
Uzumaki Naruto created a large number of Shadow Clones again, joined the battle, and intercepted Anrokuzan along with Kamishiro and the others.
Anrokuzan was also getting anxious now.
If Sara sealed the Dragon Vein, he would have no power left.
"Such annoying guys, get out of my way!"
A violent burst of Dragon Vein Power erupted from Anrokuzan, and seeing this, Minato Namikaze immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique, taking Kamishiro and the others out of Anrokuzan's attack range.
"Dragon Vein Great Fire Dragon!"
Anrokuzan opened his mouth and spat out Dragon Vein Power that looked like flames.
Because there wasn't enough space to dodge, Minato Namikaze stepped forward, formed hand seals, and placed the Flying Thunder God Kunai in front of his chest.
"Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!"
Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God formula on the Flying Thunder God Kunai to create a space-time barrier, absorbing the flames and transferring them to the ground.
However, it only transferred Anrokuzan's attack; the crisis had not yet been resolved.
Uzumaki Naruto let out a long breath: "Looks like I have no choice but to use that move!"
Uzumaki Naruto created two Shadow Clones and began to help his main body form the Rasengan.
Seeing the Ninjutsu Uzumaki Naruto was performing, Kamishiro's eyes widened instantly: "Why the hell didn't you use this move from the beginning!"
The Ninjutsu Uzumaki Naruto was performing now was Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
Kamishiro had always thought that Uzumaki Naruto at this stage might only have the Big Ball Rasengan as his ultimate move; he hadn't expected him to already know the Rasenshuriken.
If Uzumaki Naruto had used this move earlier, it might have been over long ago.
