"Quick—"
"Everyone, dodge…"
"An attack with this much chakra can't be blocked at all!"
"Damn it…"
...
Watching the Six-Tails Rhinoceros Dog condense the Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Mist Village Anbu members all changed color in horror.
Confirming that they couldn't effectively block it with ninjutsu, they immediately scattered in all directions without hesitation.
The Six-Tails Rhinoceros Dog directly swallowed the Tailed Beast Bomb and locked onto Terumi Mei ahead — whom it regarded as a threat — then adjusted its direction.
*Swish——*
Immediately after.
Accompanied by a piercing sonic boom.
The black chakra sphere shot out from its mouth at an astonishing speed.
It blasted lightning-fast toward the greatly alarmed Terumi Mei, whose hairs stood on end as she sensed a strong sense of crisis…
"Ah?"
"This is bad, that direction is…"
"It's the Hot Springs Town…"
But at the same time.
Tsunade, Shizune, Karin, and the others all changed color.
Because the direction the Tailed Beast Bomb was heading was the town not far away.
If Terumi Mei dodged it, the attack would continue unabated and slam straight into that town.
With the terrifying power of a Tailed Beast Bomb.
It was enough to instantly turn that town into ruins.
*Swish…*
In the blink of an eye.
Terumi Mei, who was about to use the Body Flicker Technique to dodge, felt a blur before her eyes.
Suddenly, a handsome figure appeared.
"It's the handsome boy beside Princess Tsunade?" She was shocked.
She recognized that it was the incredibly handsome young man who had been beside Tsunade. He hadn't spoken much earlier, but his presence was striking and had caught her attention.
"It's that guy. Is he trying to get himself killed?"
Ao's expression changed drastically.
He was filled with shock.
He never expected that the mysterious boy whose Byakugan had completely failed to see through would rush forward at this moment.
"Careful…"
Terumi Mei's expression changed, filled with anxiety.
She, who had been about to dodge, subconsciously gave up on escaping and quickly formed hand seals.
She wanted to use ninjutsu to defend against the Tailed Beast Bomb as much as possible…
"A Tailed Beast Bomb?"
Looking at the Tailed Beast Bomb that contained terrifying chakra and was blasting toward him.
Akira Ren's expression remained calm.
He held the fingers of his left hand together in front of him.
His right hand directly aimed at the Tailed Beast Bomb ahead.
*Swish…* In his palm, a large number of formulas instantly spread out into the air.
Under the suddenly widened eyes of Terumi Mei, Ao, and the others.
"Flying Thunder God: Lightning Guidance!"
The massive Tailed Beast Bomb.
Seemed to drill into an unknown space in an instant.
It disappeared bit by bit at a visible speed into the mysterious formulas scattered in the air.
*Boom…*
In the next moment.
In the distant sky.
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out deafeningly.
Dazzling light and radiance erupted there.
It was so brilliant that it was impossible to look directly at, leaving people with their mouths agape in shock and horror.
They couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
"If something like that hurt a great beauty like you, I would be heartbroken!"
As if he had done something trivial.
Akira Ren looked relaxed as he turned around and smiled at Terumi Mei.
"What a handsome man…"
Under the shock to her heart.
Terumi Mei stared dazedly at this gentle, smiling, and incredibly handsome young man.
She felt her heart inexplicably stirred.
"Truly impressive…"
A moment later, she came back to her senses.
She smiled brilliantly, looked at Akira Ren in front of her, and blinked. "Thank you, little brother Akira Ren!"
"What's your name, sister?"
"Terumi Mei…"
Turning around.
Akira Ren's eyes were filled with a smile.
Under the somewhat dumbfounded gazes of Ao and the other Mist Anbu members, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he added, "And possibly your future husband!"
"…"
Slightly stunned.
Terumi Mei couldn't help but be speechless.
"Ah la, you want to be sister's husband?"
Coming back to her senses.
She looked at the handsome young man in front of her, unable to hold back a smile.
Her beautiful face carried a charming smile. "A handsome little man like you is someone sister would welcome with open arms!"
"Hmph…"
Not far away.
Karin saw this scene.
She couldn't help but grind her teeth in anger, puffing out her cheeks and grumbling, "Show-off!"
"Akira Ren, that guy…"
Tsunade saw this and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
She felt somewhat speechless toward this disciple of hers.
Akira Ren was good in every way, except he was too much of a playboy
He was actually flirting with a female ninja from the Mist Village right in front of them
"I didn't expect Akira Ren to have trained the Flying Thunder God Technique to such a level…"
Shizune held TonTon.
Looking at the distant area where flames shot into the sky and dust billowed, she was filled withadmiration. "He transferred the Tailed Beast Bomb in an instant. Truly impressive!"
One could imagine.
If Akira Ren hadn't stopped it in time.
Not only here, but the town several kilometers away would have been affected and directly blown away.
It would have been reduced to ruins with countless casualties.
"Roar——"
With the Tailed Beast Bomb blocked.
The Six-Tails Rhinoceros Dog was furious.
Its massive tails waved wildly.
"Fwoosh…"
*Boom… Boom*
The already collapsed ground was ravaged even further.
Dust flew and rocks scattered.
It shook violently.
*Splash…*
It opened its massive mouth.
A stream of white acidic liquid shot out fiercely.
It sprayed toward Akira Ren and Terumi Mei.
*Swish!*
Akira Ren reacted with extreme speed.
Before Terumi Mei could resist.
He boldly embraced her and lifted her in a princess carry.
His figure moved swiftly, dodging the incoming acid.
Boom… Boom…
Hiss… Hiss
In the blink of an eye.
The entire ground was corroded beyond recognition.
It made one's scalp tingle.
"…"
Terumi Mei was stunned.
She stared dazedly at Akira Ren, who had boldly held her and narrowly dodged the Six-Tails' attack.
That handsome face and gentle temperament…
A young man with the powerful strength to instantly transfer a Tailed Beast Bomb…
It made her heart flutter inexplicably.
Moreover, thinking that she was actually being held by Akira Ren in a princess carry.
Her beautiful face couldn't help but flush slightly. "Thank you, little brother Akira Ren!"
Feeling the "thump, thump" of her accelerated heartbeat inside…
Terumi Mei, who had come back to her senses, had a charmingly flushed face.
She seemed to have really met a man she couldn't bear to melt.
Was this love?
"No need to be polite!"
Akira Ren smiled.
He didn't linger and put Terumi Mei down.
He naturally knew that even without his intervention, Terumi Mei would at most have been a bit disheveled.
The future Fifth Mizukage wouldn't be so easily defeated.
It was just that the Tailed Beast Bomb might have affected the distant town.
As the instigator, Akira Ren wasn't so heartless as to ignore it completely.
Moreover, although the hero-saving-the-beauty trope was old-fashioned, for a woman like TerumiMei — who appeared very strong on the surface but was actually very empty inside and longed forfairy-tale-like love — it was undoubtedly very effective.
Especially since this woman was a huge fan of good looks. Akira Ren was certain of that.
From the beginning until now, she had paid attention to him many times.
The facts proved he was right.
To become the true King of the Forest.
One had to be bold and thick-skinned.
