Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Hinata's Great Efforts Make Naruto a Bit Overwhelmed
"Human, if you've got the guts, let's have a fight!"
"Karin, lift the Adamantine Sealing Chains[b]Adamantine Sealing Chains[/b]!" Naruto said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
Everyone present was shocked.
"Okay," Karin replied and actually retracted the nine chains.
"Roar—" The One - Tailed Shukaku[b]One - Tailed Shukaku[/b] roared and stood up, emitting an extremely satisfied sound from its throat. "Stupid human, you're really obedient. Now I'll send you to death!"
"Karin, use the Adamantine Sealing Chains[b]Adamantine Sealing Chains[/b]!" As soon as Naruto finished speaking, nine iron chains wrapped around again, suppressing the furious One - Tailed Shukaku[b]One - Tailed Shukaku[/b] like a sick cat.
Karin gasped for breath. The Adamantine Sealing Chains[b]Adamantine Sealing Chains[/b] consumed a great deal of Chakra[b]Chakra[/b]. Using it again after releasing it increased the physical burden even more.
Naruto glanced at Karin and was satisfied with her in his heart.
Actually, this was also a test for Karin, a test to see if she had mastered the Uzumaki Sealing Technique[b]Uzumaki Sealing Technique[/b] well.
"Well, sick cat, where's your previous arrogance! Don't you think you're so weak?"
"Human! If you've got the guts, don't use these chains! Come and take a slap from me. I'll smash you to pieces!"
"Your wish is granted! Heeheehee!" Naruto showed a beaming expression, looking extremely happy.
Even the One - Tailed Shukaku[b]One - Tailed Shukaku[/b] was taken aback at this moment, but it didn't believe the cunning human. Since it could remember, all humans had been untrustworthy and deceitful.
"Naruto..." Hinata looked at Naruto nervously and even grabbed hold of him.
Looking at the charming Hinata in front of him, Naruto couldn't help himself for a moment. He put his arm around Hinata's slender waist and touched her forehead with his own.
"I won't take risks because I can't bear to let you go. I haven't seen your most beautiful side yet. Even the King of Hell would turn around when he sees me."
Hinata showed an infatuated smile.
In the past three years, Hinata had been with Naruto every day. Naruto didn't know where he had learned so many sweet words, and most importantly, they were different every day.
What was even more incredible was that Hinata hadn't gotten tired of Naruto's sweet words after three years.
"Humph," Karin beside them couldn't stand it anymore. In a fit of anger, she even lifted the Adamantine Sealing Chains[b]Adamantine Sealing Chains[/b] on her own!
The One - Tailed Shukaku[b]One - Tailed Shukaku[/b] stood up. Its huge body, like a mountain, blocked the sun and covered the sky.
Then, Shukaku slapped down with one paw.
Haku immediately took action. Using the Yata no Magatama Sword[b]Yata no Magatama Sword[/b], he cut off the One - Tailed Shukaku[b]One - Tailed Shukaku[/b]'s arm.
The Yata no Magatama Sword[b]Yata no Magatama Sword[/b] was as easy to cut through Tailed Beasts[b]Tailed Beasts[/b] as cutting through tofu because Tailed Beasts[b]Tailed Beasts[/b] were actually made of Chakra[b]Chakra[/b].
Orochimaru summoned Manda[b]Manda[/b], which wrapped around Shukaku's body and tightly restrained it.
Itachi used his Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b]. Once the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] was activated, Shukaku felt that its strength was gone and its body was out of control.
Zabuza flashed in front of Naruto. Seeing the huge arm falling from the sky, he used Water Release[b]Water Release[/b] to disperse it.
Kabuto and Yamato just watched from the side.
Yamato thought in his heart, "This is bad. Naruto has gathered such a group of people around him... Probably even Tsunade, the Hokage, doesn't have people with this level of combat power around her..."
"You despicable human. Didn't you say you'd let me take a swing at you?" The One-Tailed Shukaku had been subdued by the four great experts, but it still refused to accept defeat.
"I did say I'd let you take a swing, but I never said it would be me taking that swing," Naruto said to the One-Tailed Shukaku with a smile.
Then, Naruto gave Karin a cold look, as if blaming her.
Karin knew she had almost ruined Naruto's plan and now felt extremely guilty.
Naruto thought, "Young girls' minds are really hard to handle. Fortunately, I brought this group of people just in case. With them around, it's not too difficult to suppress the One-Tailed Beast."
"Next, it's time for the next plan," Naruto said to Karin. "Use the Adamantine Sealing Chains[b]Adamantine Sealing Chains[/b]."
"Yes," Karin was a bit afraid of Naruto's previous expression. She was worried he would hate her.
After Karin used the Adamantine Sealing Chains[b]Adamantine Sealing Chains[/b] for the third time, the One-Tailed Shukaku turned into a sickly cat again. Then it was Naruto's turn to step in and cooperate with Karin to seal Shukaku in a clay jar.
...
A few days later.
On the outskirts of Kumogakure Village, in the Land of Lightning.
Naruto and Hinata were hiding on a hillside. Since there were no outsiders, Naruto's eyes were restless and he stole glances at Hinata.
"Hehehehe..." Naruto laughed like a pervert in his mind.
He thought, "The money I've spent on milk for Hinata in the past three years is really my wisest investment... It seems to have grown bigger... It feels like it can reach Tsunade's level..."
"Naruto-kun, what are you looking at?"
"What I see is my foresight and the great potential within you, Hinata."
"I'll work harder to help you, Naruto-kun."
Naruto glanced at Hinata's chest and then quickly shifted his gaze. "You've already worked very hard."
"I'll work even harder."
"If you work so hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
"Huh?" Hinata didn't understand what Naruto meant.
At this time, Kabuto suddenly appeared and reported, "There seems to be a target in the forest on the right."
"Finally, they're here," Naruto gave the order. "Start as planned."
"Yes," Kabuto disappeared instantly.
In the forest, two people were walking side by side. Both were wearing the black robes with red clouds of the Akatsuki Organization.
One of them was wrapped tightly all over and wore the forehead protector of a rogue ninja from Taki Ninja Village. His name was Kakuzu.
The other one was handsome with a slicked-back hairstyle and carried a three-section scythe on his back. His name was Hidan.
Kakuzu: "I didn't expect Sasori and Deidara to fail. The retrieval of the One-Tailed Beast failed."
Hidan: "Is the Akatsuki Organization really any good? Losing the first battle. Does this organization have a future?"
"The future doesn't matter. As long as we can earn money."
"Tsk. I'm starting to worry about the future of the Akatsuki Organization. Can this organization still make it?"
"It doesn't matter. Our target is the Two-Tailed Beast. According to Intelligence, the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tailed Beast is Ni Yumumen."
Kakuzu spoke calmly. "There are two Tailed Beasts in Kumogakure Village: the Two-Tailed and the Eight-Tailed. It'll be a tough fight if we run into them both at once."
Kakuzu continued. "However, the intel indicates that the Two-Tailed Jinchuriki is extremely cocky and self-assured. We need to figure out a way to lure her out and then take her down without tipping off the rest of Kumogakure Village."
"Even if the Two-Tailed and Eight-Tailed show up together, we can deal with them."
"Don't joke around. Even Sasori and Deidara failed. This time, we have to succeed. Otherwise, the morale of the Akatsuki Organization will crumble."
"It's just one failed mission. Why would the morale collapse?"
"We Rogue Ninjas are here because we think we're really good. We believe that as long as we stick together, we can accomplish anything. If we keep failing missions, it just proves that the Akatsuki Organization is a bunch of losers."
"Alright, alright. Just watch me take care of this. It's just the Two-Tailed."
Suddenly, Kakuzu and Hidan froze because there was a really weird clay pot up ahead.
