Amidst the sandstorm, dozens of twisted figures emerged like ghosts.
They come in all shapes and sizes, but without exception, they exude an aura of violence and bloodlust.
His grayish-white skin looked particularly glaring and ominous under the desert sun.
"Ready to fight!"
The leading Sand Village ninja roared, already holding a kunai in his hand.
"Just in time!"
Naruto could no longer contain himself, and his hands flew into hand seals as he unleashed the Shadow Clone Technique!
Bang bang bang bang bang-!
Accompanied by a trail of white smoke, hundreds and thousands of Naruto's shadow clones instantly filled the small, secluded open space, creating a massive spectacle.
The sudden and enormous number of test subjects even caused them to pause for a moment, despite their irrationality.
"Brothers! Charge! Wipe out these menacing monsters!"
Countless Narutos shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth, and then surged back towards the group of experimental subjects like a golden tide.
The battle broke out instantly.
With their overwhelming numerical advantage, the shadow clone army pounced on the experimental subjects with almost crushing force.
With fists and feet flying and kunai slashing, shadow clones were occasionally blasted apart by the experimental subject's sharp bone blades or powerful force, turning into white smoke and disappearing.
But more shadow clones immediately filled the gap.
Naruto himself stood at the back, arms crossed, a confident smile on his face, directing: "Left, left!"
"Yes! Surround that one with wings! Don't let it fly away!"
"Hey you on the right, the one spitting acid, take him down with a ranged shuriken!"
Sasuke and Sakura didn't even make a move.
Sai simply stood quietly to the side, observing the battle.
Or rather, observing Naruto and his noisy shadow clones.
The battle was a foregone conclusion.
These experimental subjects were fierce and fearless of death.
But facing Naruto's massive chakra reserves and his Shadow Clone Technique honed through countless battles...
Their weakness in individual strength was fully exposed.
A few minutes later, the last monster that tried to entangle the shadow clones with its tentacles was overwhelmed by more than a dozen shadow clones and torn to pieces.
As the smoke dissipated, the mess on the ground quickly turned into black ash, which dissipated with the wind, leaving behind only some strange bones and tissues that were difficult to decompose.
All the attacking experimental subjects were annihilated.
Naruto waved his hand triumphantly, and all the shadow clones disappeared simultaneously with a "poof".
He clapped his hands as if he had done something insignificant.
The Sand Village ninjas around them were stunned. They had been fighting hard for a long time and were unable to make any progress, but the opponent had finished the battle in just a few minutes.
However, just as Naruto's focus momentarily relaxed—
Two incredibly fast figures suddenly darted out from behind the huge weathered stone pillar to the side without warning!
The target is Naruto!
One of the figures was burly, with unhealthy dark red skin and a crazed, twisted smile on his face.
It was he who, with a speed far exceeding that of the previous test subjects, punched Naruto in the face!
Naruto reacted extremely quickly, immediately crossing his arms to block.
A heavy thud sounded as Naruto steadily blocked the punch, the sand beneath his feet sinking slightly.
He was slightly startled; such powerful strength!
But what's even more amazing is yet to come!
Suddenly, the burly monster's elbow joint opened up like some kind of mechanical device, spewing out a violent, almost tangible stream of chakra!
The power in his fist increased exponentially in an instant!
Naruto was completely unprepared for this turn of events, and his blocking stance was instantly shattered by this sudden and terrifying force!
"what?!"
Amidst gasps of alarm, Naruto was blasted away as if he had been launched by a catapult.
He crashed into several weathered stone pillars in the distance, eventually plunging into a sand pit and kicking up clouds of dust.
"Naruto!" Sakura exclaimed.
Almost at the same time, another white figure swept towards Sasuke like a ghost.
The massive sword he wielded produced a piercing sound as it cut through the air—it was the executioner's blade they had placed before Zabuza's grave!
Sasuke's Sharingan had already caught his movements, and he calmly turned to the side and drew his sword to block.
The Kusanagi sword precisely parried the slash of the Executioner's Blade, sparks flying everywhere.
"Not bad, you Uchiha brat."
The white-haired youth, Hozuki Suigetsu, grinned, revealing his sharp teeth.
Sasuke's eyes were cold, and he did not answer.
In the instant of parrying, with a flick of his wrist, the Kusanagi sword slid down the blade of the Executioner's Blade, slicing in the opposite direction at an extremely tricky angle towards Suigetsu's abdomen!
This swift, precise, and ruthless strike demonstrated Sasuke's exceptional swordsmanship.
The blade sliced through Shuiyue's clothes and... body without any resistance?
However, the feeling of the blade piercing flesh that Sasuke had anticipated did not come.
Not a drop of blood flowed from the "wound" he cut open; instead, a large amount of clear liquid gushed out!
Shuiyue's entire abdomen and even her body seemed to transform into flowing water in that instant!
"What?!" Sasuke's Sharingan narrowed sharply.
A water-based technique?!
Shuiyue's cut "water-like body" healed instantly.
He wore a mocking smile, but his arm, which gripped the decapitation sword, suddenly swelled and thickened as if inflated.
His muscles bulged, and he swung his heavy broadsword once more, sweeping it down with even greater force!
This change of tactics was too strange and sudden. Sasuke had just exhausted his old strength and had not yet generated new strength, so he could only barely hold the Kusanagi sword upright at his side to withstand the attack.
With a loud bang, Sasuke felt an irresistible force coming from the sword.
His hand went numb, the Kusanagi sword nearly slipped from his grasp, and he was violently thrown away by the force.
He tumbled several times in the air before barely landing, then staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly.
Sasuke cried out urgently, realizing that the enemy's goal was to separate the three of them and then defeat them one by one!
Sakura had already reacted and was about to rush towards the direction where Naruto had been knocked away or to support Sasuke when suddenly, without warning, a large number of chains extended from the sand beneath her feet.
Boo hoo hoo-!
Dozens of thick, diamond-like chains, like venomous snakes with life, burst forth from the sand in an instant.
It coiled around her at an astonishing speed, instantly binding Sakura's hands, feet, and waist tightly.
The powerful binding force and the sealing force attached to it instantly surged throughout his body.
It suddenly suppressed her chakra flow, making her body go limp and unable to move!
"Huh?! A sealing technique?!" Sakura struggled desperately, but the chains were exceptionally strong, and she couldn't break free for a while.
"The ninjas of Konoha are nothing special."
A red-haired woman wearing glasses, Karin, slowly emerged from behind another boulder and adjusted her glasses.
Looking at Sakura, who was completely bound, with disdain, he said, "Just stay put."
And that burly monster who sent Naruto flying with a single punch—Jugo.
He stood there, letting out a ferocious and frenzied roar: "Hahaha! I'll kill you all! You'll all die!"
More irregular layers of keratin began to appear on his body, making him look increasingly inhuman.
Shuiyue easily hoisted the decapitation sword onto her shoulder, leaning against the blade.
His gaze, however, was fixed greedily on the Kusanagi sword gleaming with a bluish light in Sasuke's hand. He licked his lips and said, "That sword looks pretty powerful! I want it!"
Karin seemed a little annoyed by her companion's erratic behavior, frowning as she urged, "Alright! Suigetsu, hurry up and take care of them, or Jugo will keep going crazy!"
Chapter 305 It's a pity we encountered the wrong enemy.
However, before Xiangling could finish speaking—
"Ouch, that punch really hit hard."
Naruto's voice came from the distant crater, carrying a hint of pain as he grimaced, yet it was full of energy.
He emerged from the smoke and dust unharmed, stretched his wrists and neck, and didn't even have a scratch.
The Uchiha-style body techniques he had been trained in since childhood were now proving effective.
On the other side, Sasuke rubbed his shoulder, which had gone numb from the shock.
The Sharingan coldly swept over Suigetsu's fluid body, analyzing, "Water transformation? Bloodline limit?"
It seemed that the heavy blow that had just struck, enough to render an ordinary ninja incapable of fighting, was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.
Seeing this, Sakura, who was tightly bound by the Vajra Chains, smiled helplessly, but her tone relaxed: "You two are such a worry."
It seems her worries were a bit unnecessary.
"what?!"
