"It's a pity the dog head carving doesn't have much destructive power."
"At most, it's like… come at me!"
In a way, the dog-headed Earth Flow Wall did have a bit of a taunting aura.
Next, Naruto used Lightning Release, his entire palm flickering with blinding bright blue electrical light. He shot out with a whoosh, carrying the momentum of lightning, his palm like a spear, striking hard against the thick Earth Flow Wall.
There was a dull thud.
The seemingly indestructible Earth Flow Wall was actually pierced through by the inconspicuous lightning.
"Sizzle—!!"
Naruto's entire arm plunged into the Earth Flow Wall, and the blue electrical light enveloping his palm suddenly became wild, shooting out in all directions, tearing through the rock and disintegrating the entire tall and majestic Earth Flow Wall.
"Rumble," "Rumble," "Bang, bang"
The Earth Flow Wall shattered into pieces, falling apart, with large rocks constantly falling and smashing towards Naruto who stood below.
Naruto's expression remained calm. He continuously struck out with both palms, the "wind spirals" condensed in his palms, when compressed, formed pale green explosive wind bullets, which shot towards the rocks and earth chunks falling from mid-air, smashing them to smithereens.
Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release…
Naruto performed all five elemental Ninjutsu.
Not only that, he had mastered more than one of each type of Ninjutsu.
"Boom, boom, boom…"
Various loud, explosive sounds continuously echoed deep within the forest.
After a long while.
The incessant commotion finally slowly subsided.
This clearing was already scarred, covered with traces of Ninjutsu.
There were lakes that appeared out of nowhere, huge burnt and vitrified craters, giant trees cut in half, and very abrupt mounds of earth…
However, these Ninjutsu "creations" would disappear as the Chakra dissipated.
Naruto sat in the ruins he had created. After all that exertion, the Chakra stored in his body seemed to have not decreased at all.
Kakashi would weep if he saw such a massive Chakra reserve.
"Sure enough, Wind Release is the most convenient…"
He looked at the Rasengan spinning in his palm and suddenly smiled, "It seems I still have to make Rasengan!"
He had learned the other five elemental Ninjutsu, but their proficiency was at the [Beginner] stage.
Without grinding for proficiency, performing these Ninjutsu still required him to meticulously follow the Chakra flow routes and use hand seals as assistance.
Rasengan was different.
No hand seals required!
No specific Chakra flow path map needed.
Moreover, thanks to his [Master-level] Chakra shape transformation, Naruto didn't even need two or three hands to assist in "making the Rasengan."
Naruto's eyes flickered. He suddenly increased his Chakra output and incorporated the Chakra nature transformation of Wind Release.
After receiving more and higher quality Chakra infusion, the Rasengan, which was originally apple-sized, suddenly expanded in his palm, growing larger and larger like an inflated balloon.
Not only that.
The Rasengan, originally composed of ordinary Chakra and appearing bright blue, developed a brilliant white spot at its core and drove the airflow around it, forming a pale green wind spiral.
Wind Release: Rasengan!
"Continue to increase Chakra output."
Naruto stood up, raising his arm. The Wind Release: Rasengan, which had slowly grown from apple-sized to basketball-sized, suddenly expanded violently again, spreading out in all directions to become the size of a house.
Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan!!
As if due to the inherent pressure of the Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan, the hard ground beneath Naruto's feet suddenly sank. With "crack" and "crack" sounds, spiderweb-like cracks expanded and continuously stretched outwards.
"Take this!"
Naruto swung his arm and threw the gigantic Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan.
Target—a dozen-meter-high hill made of Earth Release.
"Boom—"
The huge Chakra sphere, four to five meters in diameter, accompanied by a high-pitched hum, collided violently with the hill.
At the moment of contact, the Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan seemed to expand a second time. The hill's rocks violently disintegrated, and bright blue beams of light were released from the cracks in the rocks.
Immediately after, the gigantic Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan could be seen sinking continuously as if it weighed a thousand pounds. The mountain body, like ice thrown into a red-hot iron ball, violently disintegrated, "melting" out a perfect hemispherical opening ten meters in diameter.
Until the last trace of Chakra was exhausted, the Wind Release: Big Ball Rasengan disappeared.
In its place was a huge deep pit.
The original hill had long since been leveled!
"Such power… the upper limit of some A-rank Ninjutsu is probably just this much, right?"
Naruto nodded with considerable satisfaction.
In the Fire Shadow World, mastering a powerful Ninja Technique is crucial.
After all, no matter how much the body is trained, its strength is always limited, at most increasing reaction time and combat experience.
But learning a high-level Ninjutsu will bring about earth-shattering changes in strength.
It can be said that becoming stronger in the Fire Shadow World is often directly linked to the "upgrade" of Ninja Technique.
If one skillfully masters an S-rank Ninjutsu that can be used in actual combat, it is considered reaching the "Hokage-level" threshold.
"Clang"
Not far away, the sound of a heavy object falling and hitting the ground attracted Naruto's attention.
Following the sound, he saw a tall and burly Big Goblin.
No, to be precise, it was a Big Goblin that was about to be promoted to Goblin Hero.
To advance, he left his tribe, constantly challenged strong opponents, fought continuously, and was battle-hardened, just a step away from becoming a Goblin Hero.
Originally, he came to this forest to continue challenging strong opponents and complete his final promotion. He came to investigate after hearing the commotion nearby.
If the opponent was strong, he would fight him and push for advancement!
But now…
This battle-hardened Big Goblin, wearing tattered armor, stood in the forest. His eyes, originally full of bestiality and fighting spirit, were now dull, then covered with a layer of fear.
Naruto's expression was as usual.
He had long sensed the presence of the battle-hardened Big Goblin.
"Pick up the spiked club on the ground."
Naruto turned and walked towards the battle-hardened Big Goblin not far away.
"Guji!"
Who knew that the battle-hardened Big Goblin, completely devoid of fighting spirit, its turbid yellow eyes shrinking violently, its hideous and ugly face full of terror, actually turned its head and tried to flee.
It was as if, in its eyes, Naruto was not an ordinary human boy at all, but a Demon God General in sheep's clothing, seemingly harmless!
"Did I scare it?"
"Is this… a battle-hardened Big Goblin that's about to be promoted to Goblin Hero?"
Naruto shook his head in disappointment and casually put on his title.
"Come back!"
"I slaughtered three thousand Goblins and almost wiped out the Goblin race in this forest. Don't you want revenge?"
Naruto shouted.
Revenge?
Naturally, he didn't!
Goblins are insidious and cunning, selfish and self-serving. The battle-hardened Big Goblin felt that as long as there was life, there was hope.
At worst, he would snatch a few human females later and use them as breeding grounds to reproduce like crazy.
The battle-hardened Big Goblin fled frantically through the forest, always feeling that the terrifying enemy didn't seem to be catching up.
He slightly relaxed and looked back to confirm whether Naruto was pursuing him.
With that look, how unlucky… he saw the title hanging above Naruto's head—
[Goblin Slayer]
…
