"Shut up!"
Naruto couldn't hold back. He still remembered Takemi's home visit and how his mother had disciplined him after that line, 'Naruto's grades aren't very good.' Especially after his mother was brought back by Edo Tensei, and what she did then.
This was a double blow, both mental and physical. This hateful bastard Hidan was now essentially taunting him.
How could he hold back?!
"I will definitely kill you!"
Naruto growled, while also constantly monitoring the two. Just then, Kakuzu moved again.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Wind Release: Pressure Damage!
Kakuzu wasn't entirely sure what was going on with Naruto's Flying Thunder God Mark, so he adopted a relatively conservative approach.
Large-scale attacks and large-scale transfers, this would make his situation less dire.
"Hidan, cooperate with me. Be very careful of this guy."
"Tch, I know."
Hidan nodded at Kakuzu's words. He just found Naruto a bit inexplicable. However, he was also contemplating how to quickly get Naruto's blood so he could perform the ritual.
'But, it seems ever since I met that Kappa, I've rarely had the chance to use the ritual against Konoha people. Damn it...'
Naruto instantly dodged, while secretly pondering, 'It will be hard to deal with them with normal Rasengan. Tch, Edo Tensei is really troublesome.'
As he thought, Kakuzu moved again. His masks gathered together, a scene that made Naruto raise an eyebrow.
'Are they going to use that combined Ninjutsu Takemi mentioned? But they're still within the mark's range, so...'
Naruto had an idea. As he quickly dodged, he constantly adjusted his breathing. The next moment, he entered Sage Mode.
"Careful, that guy's Chakra is off, but..."
Kakuzu noticed the problem immediately, but he still controlled the masks. He decided to attack first and talk later.
Combined Ninjutsu: Blazing Wind Wild Wave!
Like a tidal wave, the fierce flames instantly turned into a sea of fire, pouring towards Naruto.
But at that moment, Naruto's figure flashed quickly. In an instant, he had already arrived beside Kakuzu and Hidan.
"Now!"
However, everything seemed to be within Kakuzu's calculations. The moment Naruto appeared, Hidan instantly moved.
"Watch me offer you to Jashin-sama, Nine-Tails brat."
Hidan's massive scythe spun rapidly, and Kakuzu instantly had his masks gather Chakra together.
Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot!
Looking at everything before him, Naruto remained relatively calm, and a peculiar Rasengan appeared in his hand.
"Let me show you the Jutsu I just created..."
"Sage Art: Nine-Tails Rasenshuriken!"
The Nine-Tails' Chakra, infused within the high-speed spinning shuriken, caused Naruto's Rasengan to instantly leave his hand.
He stared intently at the two, especially Hidan in front of him, and shouted in a low voice, "I'm not the dead last, you bastard!"
"?"
Hidan was slightly bewildered, but the next moment, Naruto's Rasengan had already collided with them. And in that instant, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted in the sky.
In another battlefield, Sasuke's Susanoo was almost at maximum power.
"You two, it seems you're only capable of this much."
Around him were shattered puppets, and black flames burned fiercely.
Opposite him, Sasori and Itachi's bodies were constantly reforming, clearly having been badly beaten by him.
"Damn guy, damn Flying Thunder God..."
Sasori couldn't help but curse under his breath. His puppets were of little use against Sasuke, any attack would be blocked by Susanoo.
The only thing that had some effect was poison, but Sasuke seemed to have inherited Takemi's 'traditional art'.
Whenever he used poison, he would directly use Lightning Release or Fire Release to burn away the poison gas.
"Sasuke, you've grown to this extent..."
Itachi murmured. He found it difficult to deal with Sasuke himself.
On one hand, he didn't want to fight, and on the other hand, what he was good at, including combat techniques and strategies, Sasuke was also equally good at.
After all, he was trained by both Takemi and Tobirama, his combat prowess was not lacking at all.
However, Sasuke's indifferent gaze, as if looking at a stranger, pained him. He wished Sasuke would treat him as an enemy, rather than with such indifference and disregard.
"Fighting you two is no fun. In that case..."
Just as Itachi and Sasori were pondering, Sasuke suddenly spoke.
"It's time to end all of this."
"Boasting brat..."
Sasori tried to control his emotions, but Sasuke was constantly surging his Chakra at this moment.
'Are my eyes about to give out? But it doesn't matter...'
Sasuke understood his situation. The more he used his eyes, the closer he got to blindness, but it was no big deal.
The village had already provided a plan, and he was now quietly waiting. And now he wanted to see how far his eyes could go.
As his eyes constantly surged, his power was continuously released, and his ocular jutsu also spread at this moment. And his Susanoo grew bigger and taller.
"This is..."
In the blink of an eye, his Susanoo had transformed into a giant over a hundred meters tall, clad in armor.
Looking at this giant radiating terrifying power, Itachi and Sasori's expressions changed somewhat, and Sasuke's eyes dimmed.
"This kind of power..."
Feeling the surging power within him, and the pain coming from his eyes, Sasuke smiled.
Looking at Itachi and Sasori, who now appeared exceptionally small below, he sneered.
"I'll use you two to give it a good try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant Susanoo's blade was unsheathed, striking fiercely towards the two.
And at that moment, terrifying power erupted in the sky.
A golden light streaked across the firmament.
