Chapter 40
The old man was in a mess, and the old man was in a mess.
Kakashi, Asuma and Hong pushed away the ruins, revealing Sasuke and Shikamaru who were unharmed behind them. Although the two were also a little embarrassed by the impact, they were already very good compared to the three jonin.
Kakashi closed his Sharingan, his body was covered with dust, and his jonin vest was broken a lot. Asuma was similar, even his beard was full of dust, and Hong's coat was also tattered. Fortunately, he was wearing a ninja lining inside, otherwise his spring light would be exposed.
She looked at the distance in disbelief: "The power that can easily change the terrain..."
Following her gaze, I saw that the desert in the distance had completely disappeared. There were countless cracks on the entire land. A huge crater comparable to a meteorite landing was located in the center, and the surroundings were flat.
The original forest turned into a desert and the sea, but now the entire forest has disappeared and turned into an even more desolate land.
With the strength of the three jonin, they can naturally see Naruto half-kneeling on the ground in the distance. As for Gaara...either he can't be seen in the pit, or he was directly blasted into slag and disappeared.
Theoretically, the three people believe in the latter possibility.
Sasuke opened his eyes with difficulty, and the appearance of his Sharingan became dim, but he still forced himself to open his eyes and look into the distance. What he saw was Naruto half-kneeling on the ground.
He swallowed his saliva, and his Sharingan finally couldn't hold on any longer and turned into black pupils: "Kakashi, Naruto is injured."
"Ah." Kakashi nodded slightly, pulled down his forehead guard to cover his left eye, "I'll go over to see Naruto, Asuma, Hong, I'll leave them to you."
Hong was a little worried: "If this situation passes..."
"It's okay." Asuma picked up another cigarette and lit it, taking a deep breath, "Shukaku has been dealt with. With that kind of power, even if Shukaku is still alive, he can't still fight. Naruto won this battle."
Shocked, then relieved, this is probably what Asuma felt at the moment.
"I'll go with you!" Sasuke stood up with all his strength, looking at Kakashi with a firm gaze.
Kakashi looked at Sasuke and hesitated for a while, and finally nodded slightly. The whole person disappeared on the spot, and his figure quickly went in the direction of Naruto. Seeing this scene, Sasuke also used his Thunder Release Instant Body with all his strength, following closely behind Kakashi.
In the distance, Naruto wanted to stand up, but the pain and scars on his body made him completely unable to move.
Kuroma looked at this scene and grinned: "Take a break. The chakra just now is completely beyond your ability to withstand. If you hold on any longer, your injuries will become more serious."
Naruto shook his head and looked ahead firmly: "Shukaku... Shukaku's problem has not been solved yet."
Gaara's seal was on the verge of breaking. Before, he used Shukaku's chakra in the medium state. Now that he was injured, Shukaku would definitely take this opportunity to break the seal and run out.
Kuroma sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, I admire your strength, but I must tell you... It's too late."
"Stinky fox!!!" Crazy and endless chakra rose again, and in the deep pit that seemed to have fallen like a meteorite, the yellow sand gathered, and the huge Shukaku body condensed again, and this time, his breath became more terrifying.
Not a tailed beast, not a medium, but the real Shukaku was resurrected!
Looking at the figure standing in the distance, Asuma even forgot to smoke and stared at the scene blankly. At this moment, the old man was sealed, Jiraiya was saving people in the village, and Naruto was seriously injured. How could they stop Shukaku?
Throwing down the cigarette butt, Asuma's face sank: "Hong..."
Hong looked at Asuma's profile and almost instantly understood what the man meant. She smiled, like a gorgeous flower, dazzling on the ruins: "I understand Asuma, I will always be by your side."
Asuma also smiled. He turned to Shikamaru behind him and said slowly: "Shikamaru, I will give you a task. Tell Konoha about the situation here and let them organize rescue immediately."
Shikamaru looked at Asuma in silence, and nodded gently after a few seconds: "You still have to play chess with me, don't die."
"I'm a senior ninja." Asuma laughed heartily, and as the sound fell, he and Hong disappeared on the spot.
Shikamaru clenched his fists, looked at Shukaku who had already formed in the distance, and took a deep breath. For the first time, he felt that he was useless.
He retracted his gaze and turned to Temari who had fainted beside him.
, Temari was lucky. Although she was covered with dust and gravel, she was not injured. Shikamaru looked at her and said softly: "I need to get to the village as soon as possible, so I won't bring any burden. Whether you can survive depends on your luck."
After that, Shikamaru got up and left, with his back to Shukaku, and walked into the village. He was going to find the person who could stop Shukaku and inform all ninjas of the news here.
"Asuma, you have to try your best to hold on and don't die..."
Shukaku's huge body stood up in the pit, with anger on his funny face: "Stinky fox! You dare to hit me with the tailed beast jade!"
Everyone heard Shukaku's voice. Naruto supported himself and wanted to stand up, but he collapsed weakly. He gritted his teeth and looked at Shukaku not far away: "In this case, everything I did is meaningless!"
After trying his best to defeat Gaara, he found that a more terrifying opponent stood up. How could Naruto be willing?
Kurama spread his hands helplessly: "Shukaku is about to break the seal. In theory, we should directly control Gaara, and then use my chakra to prevent Shukaku from running out. Unfortunately, your shot completely knocked Gaara down, and this guy took the opportunity to run out."
Kuroma's original idea was that he should indeed prevent Shukaku from breaking the seal, and then let Naruto use his chakra to suppress Shukaku, so that he could take a portion of chakra from Shukaku. Who would have thought that Naruto would rub the tailed beast ball so big that Gaara was directly knocked down.
This was actually outside Kurama's plan.
But in fact... there is not much difference. Kurama knew that Jiraiya was in Konoha Village. In fact, now we only need to stop Shukaku from entering Konoha. Anyway, the people who see Shukaku will notify Jiraiya, and then Shukaku will be sealed.
Of course, the key point is that they can't stop Shukaku now.
"Naruto, my advice is... run, run quickly." Kurama lay on the cell door and looked at Naruto outside, "I'll give you some more chakra. It's better to get hurt than to be beaten by Shukaku, and that guy will really kill you."
Because Naruto is Kurama's Jinchūriki, he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity. What? Have you discussed it with Kurama? It's none of his business. He only cares about revenge and doesn't care about anything else after the fight.
"I won't!" Naruto refused without thinking, and got up from the ground with his teeth clenched. "I won't run away again. No matter who the enemy is, I don't want to stand behind anyone and be a bystander. This is an oath I swear to my own blood!"
Really stubborn... Kurama sighed, his eyes fell on Shukaku who was walking slowly in the distance.
This slowness is only relative to the tailed beasts. For humans, every step of the tailed beasts requires them to keep running to catch up.
As if sensing Kurama's sight, Shukaku's eyes suddenly stopped on Naruto. The little devil who insisted on picking up the things even though his whole body was covered in blood was extremely dazzling in this wasteland.
Shukaku smiled, although it was not easy to see, but he just smiled. He slightly accelerated and came to Naruto in almost five seconds. His huge body stood in front of Naruto, and the two monsters, one big and one small, formed a strong contrast.
Shukaku pointed at the little guy on the ground with a sharp and piercing voice: "Little devil, untie your seal and let Kurama come out, otherwise I will kill you now."
Naruto looked up and looked at Shukaku, whose finger was bigger than his whole body, with a stubborn look on his bloody face: "I refuse!"
"What I, Uzumaki Naruto, like to do most is to say NO to those self-righteous guys!"
The voice was loud and energetic, but Kurama only had six points in his heart to express his feelings at the moment.
