NARUTO: THE STRONGEST UZUMAKI

After 30 seconds, the summons disappeared, and Tanaka lost 20 shadow clones in the process.

Honestly, achieving this alone was a great feat. Especially since it happened in 30 seconds.

This boss was different from the others. However, as soon as his summons vanished, Tanaka and his shadow clones were able to focus on him, grabbing several explosive stones and starting to attack to cause more damage to the barrier from various directions, not giving the Orc Shaman any room to properly defend himself.

"Khaaagh! I'll kill all of you!" The Orc Shaman roared loudly.

This time, he created two giant whirlwinds simultaneously.

And he didn't stop there; conjuring again, he created two more, and this cycle repeated until he had created 20 in total.

"WHIRR-CRACKLE!"

When the twenty giant whirlwinds approached, a catastrophic effect occurred. They began to merge, forming an enormous hurricane that swallowed everything in its path, be it buildings or houses, heading towards the shadow clones.

However, he noticed something. The moment this happened, the Orc Shaman himself lost control of this skill. But he didn't seem to care; he was even laughing maniacally, as if planning something more.

"Switch to Fire!" The Orc Shaman shouted, and soon his aura turned a more scarlet color. Then, he created a fire whirlwind right next to the hurricane.

"WHOOSH! CRACKLE-ROAR!"

The fire whirlwind merged with the hurricane, creating an even more threatening blazing storm, rapidly approaching with devastating fury.

"What the hell is that?"

"Son of a bitch!"

"Holy shit!"

"Goddammit!"

Exclamations from him and his shadow clones echoed. Some weren't even able to escape and were caught by the fiery hurricane.

The very air they breathed became hot and unbearable, the sensation incredibly irritating.

While Tanaka himself fled the scene, as far away as possible from this attack.

"Monster..." He muttered as he could still see the hurricane from afar, devastating everything in its path.

'How much MP does this boss have?' This was a question that lingered in his mind.

To be able to perform several attacks that merged into this, it would undoubtedly require a lot of MP.

Meanwhile, he received feedback from the shadow clones being destroyed.

Taking a deep breath, he created another 50 shadow clones and sent them to face the boss, while he kept his distance.

Only when the hurricane dissipated did he return to approach, seeing the shadow clones attack with explosive stones, finally managing to create cracks in the shield protecting him, but in the process, 5 of them were hit by the fire whirlwinds created by the Orc Shaman.

"Now!" One of them shouted as he noticed an opening in the shield.

When this happened, several of the clones used chains to pass through the breach.

The boss tried to back away, but the chains wrapped around the shield, and then one managed to penetrate it, hitting the Orc Shaman's shoulder.

"Kuhhhhhahhhkkk! You wretches. Unforgivable! I'll kill all of you!"

However, he realized too late that he wouldn't get the chance. The moment the chain latched onto him, all his MP was sealed, causing even the shield protecting him to start fragmenting like shards of glass.

For a creature created by the dungeon, the expression on the Orc Shaman's face when he realized he couldn't use MP was priceless. Even with most of his face covered, it was possible to see a look of pure terror on his wrinkled, green face.

Using the chains, Tanaka extended them towards the boss's staff and yanked it forcefully. The Orc Shaman tried to resist, but his struggle was brief as his MP began to be drained while multiple explosive stone attacks were launched in his direction.

"Huh?" With the staff in his hand, he was surprised, as at that moment, no information window about the item or anything like that appeared. It was as if he had lost the 'gift' of seeing through everything.

'Could it be that because it's an item belonging to a boss created from pure energy, it's not exactly a real item?' Tanaka pondered.

However, the fact that he could get drops of the items the boss used left him a bit confused for a moment. But he soon accepted it, thinking it was similar to a game where, although it's possible to drop items, it's not possible to steal them.

If it were, it would be easier to cheat in games, where you would only need to devise a strategy to steal a very good weapon without relying on the luck of dropping the item.

Understanding this, Tanaka still kept the staff in his hand while waiting for the boss's life to come to an end.

However, the damage was simply pitiful, even though he was bound by the chains.

"Does he have high resistance to magic attacks?" Tanaka wondered.

To test, the shadow clones approached with weapons they took from the inventory and began striking with physical attacks.

[Critical Hit!]

[You inflicted 11,862 damage]

Seeing this, he smiled.

"I was right."

"Kuhhrhgh! Wretch!"

Groaning as he shouted, the Orc Shaman tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free from the chains.

"Cheaters... damn it, you're all cheaters...!"

"Tsk, just die quietly!" One of the clones with a giant hammer smashed the Orc Shaman's face, using 'Smash' while attacking.

"Bang!"

[Critical Hit!]

[You inflicted 12,669 damage]

"Kuuughhhughhhhhkkk!"

Emitting sounds of pain, blood spurted from the boss's face as the giant hammer pulled away.

"Bastard..." In a hoarse voice, the boss tried to speak while his nose was broken.

"Bang!"

However, his words were cut off when the shadow clone with the giant hammer smashed the boss's face again and continued to repeat this process while other parts of the body were attacked by other shadow clones.

He stopped when the boss let out a final roar as he transformed into a disgusting slime.

"Phew... It's over." He murmured, while giving a strange smile as he watched the staff in his hand disintegrate, but he wasn't fazed, as he somewhat expected something like this to happen.

After the shield was gone, the Orc Shaman became an easy target for him.

After looking through the items that dropped, he felt a bit disappointed, as the skill he got wasn't what he was hoping for. However, he still had one more chance to try to get it, so there was still room to obtain this skill before heading out on a mission tomorrow.

After equipping the new title, he took the ring from the inventory and took a deep breath as he read the information.

[Ring of Elemental Power – Rank A+]

Additional effect: +50 INT.

[Special effect: Increases the damage of elemental skills by 30%.]

[Special effect: Grants the skill <Elemental Master>, allowing the user to change the element of their attacks every 1 hour between wind, fire, lightning, or water.]

[Usage restrictions: Level 80, with at least 300 INT and 50 WIS]

It was breathtaking. At least for his current self, this type of item was unparalleled.

Recalling the skill the boss used to create a whirlwind of wind and then fire, he associated it with this item.

Placing it on his right index finger, he murmured: "Equip."

The moment the item was equipped, he experienced a considerable increase in his MP, and he felt the presence of the item's skill 'Elemental Master,' granting him the power to choose the element that best suited him.

Simply put, by choosing an element, he could use the selected elements as he would use MP; even his skills could gain elemental properties.

With just this item, he gained 1,400 MP.

"Very OP," he thought.

Whether it was the additional 50 INT or the skill that allowed him to use MP as an element, it was impressive.

Of course, he could already do this with Chakra Natures. However, it was more complicated as it depended on specific abilities. With this item, though, there were no such limitations. If he wanted to create a fireball, he just needed to choose the fire element, and he could easily conjure it, whether it be a large, medium, or giant fireball, as long as he had enough MP.

'For now, I'm interested in using fire.' Tanaka thought as he chose that option.

The next item he picked up to examine was the Ancestral Shaman's Staff.

[Ancestral Shaman's Staff – Rank A]

Magic Attack Power: 2,569

Additional effect: +200% Critical Damage. Additional effect: +60 INT. Additional effect: +50% Damage Over Time from magic. Additional effect: 80% additional damage against magical enemies.

[Special effect: Grants the skill <Spirit Summoning> to summon 5 ancestral spirits that fight alongside the user for 30 seconds. [Cooldown: 5 minutes]]

[Usage restrictions: Level 80, with at least 250 INT and 40 WIS]

A very good item, but... he preferred to continue using the gauntlet he created himself as it was more versatile. However, his shadow clones could use it in battle, so it would be a useful weapon in any case.

Speaking of shadow clones, they had already returned the weapons they used to the inventory, and Tanaka dispelled them after returning the staff to the inventory.
