It rained again.

The clouds that had just exploded and dispersed were now gathering together in darkness, and large raindrops fell heavily.

The cold rain hit Sasuke's face, dripping down mixed with blood, and quickly took away the heat from his body.

He suddenly felt a chill.

Ninjas with chakra protection are supposed to be invulnerable to cold and heat. Sasuke feels cold because he consumes too much chakra.

But what was colder than his body was Sasuke's heart.

Like falling into an ice cave.

The moment he saw Kakuzu appear, he even felt a little desperate!

How can he still fight Kakuzu after fighting Scorpion to the point where he is almost at the end of his rope?

His eyes were still hurting slightly, and when he opened them, they were filled with tears.There is not much chakra left on his body!

Naruto's condition was slightly better, but only to a limited extent.He had just used brute force to resist Deidara's self-destruction, even turning on the eight tails mode. The result of forcing the limit was covered with scars.

The opponent is Kakuzu, the living history of the ninja world and a veteran Kage-level powerhouse who has lived for hundreds of years and has fought against the first Hokage!

how to spell?

Sasuke was frustrated and couldn't find the answer.

This is a battle with no chance of winning!

"I'll do it!" Naruto said suddenly, standing in front of Sasuke.

"You?!" Sasuke was shocked.

Naruto smiled easily and said: "When you dealt with Scorpion just now, you got so much limelight, now it's my turn!"

Poor excuse.

Sasuke understood Naruto's true intentions.Being pushy or something...not really!He simply wanted to stand in front of Sasuke and protect Sasuke.

He was about to say something, but Naruto said seriously: "Hey, Sasuke! You always call me the last one... It's time for me to get ahead of you for once!"

"This time, just hide behind me and watch my back as I fight!"

He turned and gave Sasuke a thumbs up.

The condensed chakra was re-wrapped around Naruto's body. The old wounds had not yet healed, and the new wounds were torn open by the corrosive chakra of the Kyuubi. However, the young man remained unmoved and instead showed a bright smile.

"Damn it, I can still fight!" Sasuke forced his sore eyes open and took a step forward, but his steps were limp and he almost fell to the ground.

The railgun just fired had exhausted his physical strength!

Naruto didn't look back, but stretched out a hand from the tailed beast's coat to support Sasuke.

"Don't force yourself, Sasuke." He said calmly, "The enemy has just finished dealing with the three tails, and he is not in the best condition either... In this battle, there may be a chance!"

The beast-like combat intuition made Naruto keenly aware that he still had a chance of victory!

This is a completely different way of thinking from those of the rational analysts such as Sasuke and Sakura. Sometimes it seems too reckless, but sometimes, it is sharper than the rationalists!

"Is there still a chance?" Sasuke looked at Naruto and murmured.

No matter what, I can only trust Naruto and his intuition at this time!

"Let me fight with you some more..." Sasuke forced a smile, "Although I don't have much physical strength to fight anymore, I can still play a little role!"

"Connect me with chakra, Naruto...I will transmit all the information the Sharingan sees to you!"

He accumulated the last chakra in his body, slowly formed seals on his hands, and his eyes suddenly popped out with three magatama——

"Illusion-vision sharing!"

This technique was developed by Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sakura to share the Sharingan vision during battle.

The definition of genjutsu has always been to mix one's own chakra into the enemy, disrupting the enemy's five senses (especially vision), causing the enemy to obtain wrong information, and at the same time exerting some negative effects on the enemy.Haruno Sakura, who likes to break the rules, is certainly not satisfied with such a narrow application.On the contrary, is it possible to use illusions to benefit teammates?

Stimulating teammates to open the Sharingan is only the most elementary way.

Illusion can distort the enemy's five senses and create wrong information, so in turn, it is naturally possible to deliver correct information to teammates.Similar to the "AR" (augmented reality technology) in the previous life, the use of genjutsu to share the additional information seen by the Sharingan with teammates is a typical Haruno Sakura-style ninjutsu: full of whimsical ideas and requiring superb chakra manipulation. And it's very easy to use.

Of course, this also requires Naruto's absolute trust in Sasuke.

"Is this the world the Sharingan sees?"

It was as if the dust from his eyes had been wiped away, and the whole world became more vivid in Naruto's eyes. He could even faintly see the flow of chakra, and not far away, a huge source of chakra was being released wantonly. Rich chakra!

No, if you look closely, you will see that it is not one source, but several huge connected chakra sources, very close together, as if they are stacked on top of each other!

"Is that Kakuzu?" Naruto's eyes became extremely firm and he shouted in a deep voice, "I'm on board!"

Naruto took a deep breath, and the endless nine-tailed chakra wrapped around him. The condensed chakra coat enveloped the boy's body, turning him into a huge demon fox. The demon fox lay down subconsciously, with seven tails Flying wildly behind him.

The demon fox looked up to the sky and roared, and countless small black balls instantly condensed into a huge chakra ball on his head——

Tailed beast jade!

boom!

An earth-shattering bombardment announced the beginning of the second battle!

This battle was far less tortuous than the one against Scorpion.

Both sides of the battle actually knew each other's intelligence; Kakuzu's secrets had been discovered by Konoha long ago, and all was left, and Naruto had no trump cards to show.

Sasuke even had reason to suspect that Kakuzu had long since captured the Three-Tails and had been hiding outside the battlefield, using the scorpions as bait to consume Sasuke and Naruto's physical strength and trump cards——

After all, Kakuzu covets the hearts of these two people.

But that doesn't matter anymore.Regardless of whether Kakuzu had ever sat by and watched his teammates die, Sasuke would have fired that electromagnetic cannon just now. Akatsuki's people were always easier to deal with by cheating on each other's teammates than by working as a team.

Because each other knows the basics, there is no need to test or plan.

As soon as Naruto came on stage, he was bombarded by a huge Tailed Beast Jade!

Not to be outdone, Kakuzu directly cloned his four bodies (one exploded when capturing the three tails), launched four high-level backhand escape techniques, water escape, wind escape, earth escape, and thunder escape escape techniques to bravely attack!

You come and go, and the battle quickly turns into a gorgeous but boring ninjutsu battle.

Naruto went one to four.

Kakuzu has the theoretical advantage.

But Naruto has the endless chakra of the Nine-Tails as a source, and Sasuke's assistance, coupled with his fierce fighting style and the crazy tailed beast jade, he can evenly compete for a while.

The battle then fell into a quagmire of attrition.

Kakuzu was not in a hurry.

He could see clearly from a distance that most of Naruto's injuries were actually caused by the erosion of the Kyuubi's chakra.In other words, as long as the tailed beast mode is turned on, especially when the seven tails are turned on like now, the powerful chakra of the nine tails will hurt Naruto all the time.

It was as painful as being burned by fire!

A war of attrition consumes not only the chakra of both sides, but also Naruto's life!

The horns are cunning.He just needs to continue to consume like this, and sooner or later, Naruto will be unable to withstand the damage from the nine tails, untie the tailed beast's coat, and then he will win!There are no risks.

Yes, sooner or later Naruto will not be able to bear the pain of his life being eroded!

This battle is a one-sided test of Naruto's willpower!

The fight lasted for 15 minutes.Naruto still transformed into a demon fox, roaring crazily.

"Humph, he can actually hold on for so long! I underestimated his endurance!" Kakuzu began to frown.

Three 10 minutes.Naruto began to roar in agony, but the Nine-Tails Chakra remained unmoving.

"Is this guy made of iron? Why don't you give up?" Kakuzu began to wonder.

No.40 minutes.The Kyuubi's chakra has eroded Naruto's skin to the point where it is no longer human-like, and his muscles have begun to tear. He has begun to lose consciousness, but he is still persisting!

"Monster! He can actually endure it for so long!" Kakuzu began to sweat!

That Naruto could persist to this extent was completely beyond Kakuzu's expectations.

boom!

Another evenly matched attack.

Kakuzu suddenly stopped.

Looking at the young man who was still gritting his teeth and persisting, his face was extremely gloomy, as if he could drip water: "I don't have any money... why don't you fall down?!"

Naruto was close to unconsciousness at this time, but he just managed to hold on without falling down.He took a breath and showed a labored smile to Kakuzu: "Are you kidding... Once we fall down, won't Sasuke and I be dead?"

Very simple reason.

Because Sasuke has lost the physical strength to continue fighting, he must stand in front of Sasuke!

Because he has to protect all of this, he must keep fighting!

Because he cannot fall, he will never fall!

Keep at it no matter what.

It seems like a simple persistence, but Kakuzu knows how difficult it is.He finally realized that the shaky figure in front of him had a will stronger than steel!

This is powerful in another sense.

This boy... was so strong that it made his heart palpitate!

Kakuzu subconsciously took a step back.

"Damn it, I'm actually competing with Kyuubi for chakra strength!" He cursed, never admitting that he actually backed away.

However, the war of attrition had been going on for too long, and his physical strength and chakra had indeed become a problem.

Yes, unlike the bottomless Kyuubi, after being bombarded for more than half an hour, even with four hearts, Kakuzu began to feel tired.

The chakra's momentum began to decline, his breathing began to become rapid, and the situation began to reverse!

His life motto - that the key to longevity is caution, not resentment - reminds Kakuzu that it's time to retreat.

"If we continue to fight, the risk will be too great..."

Who knows how much longer Naruto can hold on?If you delay for a while longer, until all the chakra in the four hearts is used up, not to mention harvesting new hearts, you will have to donate your four lives!

The lessons learned from Scorpio have just been laid out here!

"But before retreating, just in case..." Kakuzu rolled his eyes sharply.

He took a deep breath, and the remaining chakra was running wildly: "One final blow! Leave them some trouble to avoid being caught up!"

"Water escape - water dragon bomb!"

The last gift Kakuzu left to Naruto and Sasuke was an exaggeratedly large super S-level water escape ninjutsu.

With the help of a huge amount of chakra and the advantages of the geographical location, Kakuzu finally succeeded in completing this technique and created a giant snake hundreds of meters long!

"The form of the Seven-Tails cannot stop this move!" Kakuzu smiled solemnly, "But do you dare to enter the form of the Eight-Tails or even the Nine-Tails, Uzumaki Naruto?"

He waved his left hand violently——

boom! ! !

……

……

"...I no longer remember what happened after that." Naruto recalled, "I only remember that my last thought was to try my best to stop Kakuzu's jutsu, and then I lost consciousness."

"When I woke up again, I was already sleeping on the bed at the Mist Ninja's temporary residence."

"Let Sasuke and Sakura tell what happens next." Tsunade took Naruto's mission report and patted his shoulder solemnly, "Well done, Naruto! As expected of Jiraiya. Disciple, you have a tough heart!”

"Thank you for the hard work on this mission. Go back and have a good rest. This is safe Konoha and you have returned home."

"Yes, Grandma Tsunade!" Naruto smiled slightly.

He looked out the window, and the evening sunlight had already slanted to the west. It happened to shine through the window and onto the young man's face.

I rushed back to Konoha at noon to report the mission situation to the Fifth Hokage, and the talk lasted until the evening.

Or maybe that's because what happened in the past few days has been too twists and turns!

But that's all gone.

"Welcome back!" Tsunade smiled approvingly.

After gesturing to his companions, Naruto walked out of the Hokage's office.
