Deep within the Association, in a core room filled with giant eyeball-shaped monitors.
"Great Eyeball" suddenly shook. One of the main screens showed Naruto effortlessly dealing with a Demon-level Monster. "Warning! Warning! An extremely powerful intruder has breached the outer defenses! Energy level — unquantifiable!!!"
In the center of the room, an even more magnificent and terrifying being sat on a throne made of biological tissue.
He was enormous, his face majestic yet twisted, and his entire body exuded suffocating energy fluctuations.
It was the ruler of the Monster Association, Monster King Orochi!
Below the throne, several formidable Dragon-level cadres gathered:
The unruly, all-black Black Sperm, who looked like he was wearing a mask!
Gums, lazily lying in a pool of slime!
Gouketsu, exuding a chilling aura!
And Evil Natural Water, whose body constantly changed and emitted eerie laughter, among others.
Orochi's lava-like eyes swept over Naruto on the screen, and his deep, oppressive voice echoed through the hall: "An interesting intruder — possessing an energy form I've never seen before. It seems the Hero Association has found a new toy. Who is willing to — crush this bug?"
"Heheheh—" Black Sperm let out a sharp laugh, "He looks like a lively fellow, doesn't he? His cells must be very interesting! Let me go decompose him into basic nutrients!"
"Gurgle—tasty—looks—" Gums drooled, his huge mouth opening and closing, seemingly already seeing Naruto as a delicacy.
"This person's aura — is extraordinary." Gouketsu crossed his arms, his eyes solemn, but he did not volunteer.
Monster King Orochi's gaze swept over his subordinates: "Do not underestimate him. He can deal with a Demon-level so easily; his strength should not be underestimated. Black Sperm, Gums, you two go together. Finish it quickly; I don't want this mouse to disturb my evolution."
"Understood~" Black Sperm chuckled.
"Eat—eat—" Gums wiggled his massive body, rising from the slime pool.
Two powerful Dragon-level Monsters, filled with killing intent, headed in Naruto's direction.
"The Monster Association is really big; the number of hidden monsters is truly astonishing."
"Ordinary Tiger-level Monsters and Demon-level Monsters can be left to my Shadow Clones. Now, I need to find the Dragon-level Monsters."
Naruto stood on a small mountain of monster corpses, his eyes slightly widened, and Kagura Mind's Eye spread out, covering the entire underground Monster Association.
"Oh? Two have already arrived."
A smile played on Naruto's lips.
When Black Sperm emerged from the shadows with a teasing smile, accompanied by the wriggling Gums, Uzumaki Naruto simply stood still, his azure eyes gleaming coldly in the dim light.
"Oh my, oh my~ He looks so tender-skinned. I wonder how many pieces he can be split into?" Black Sperm let out an arrogant laugh.
"Hungry—eat you—" Gums let out an indistinct growl, his giant mouth open, saliva dripping onto the ground, corroding it with sizzling white smoke.
Naruto did not respond, nor did he change his stance.
He simply slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upwards.
The air began to tremble, and a black dot appeared in his palm, then quickly expanded into an utterly black sphere.
Planetary Spiraling Shuriken!
Black Sperm's smile froze on his face. Instinct told him something was wrong. Just as he was about to split, the pitch-black Amaterasu flames ignited, instantly engulfing his entire body.
"Don't rush, this Planetary Spiraling Shuriken is not for you. Just experience the taste of Amaterasu Black Flames."
The Amaterasu Black Flames, which normally couldn't kill people, were capable of burning to death the extremely powerful Black Sperm, who possessed the ability to split, in Naruto's hands.
It was correct to use Amaterasu Black Flames to burn Black Sperm first.
If he were to truly let him split and display his true power, he would at least be a Dragon-level peak existence, making him more difficult to handle.
He then threw the Planetary Spiraling Shuriken at Gums.
"Eat~ So hungry, I want to eat!"
Gums opened his mouth, trying to eat the Planetary Spiraling Shuriken.
"Heh heh, eat, eat." Naruto remained expressionless and unmoved.
There was no explosion, no shockwave, only absolute nothingness.
After the Planetary Spiraling Shuriken landed, Gums couldn't even let out a scream, disappearing without a trace in the black hole-like annihilation, leaving not even a speck of dust.
"Boring."
Naruto murmured softly, his eyes coldly scanning the empty passage.
After dealing with two of the very powerful Dragon-level Monsters, he sensed even stronger auras deep underground.
Shadow Instant Kill Array unfolded.
With a direct teleportation, he appeared in the main hall at the deepest part of the Monster Association.
In the enormous space, Monster King Orochi's majestic body coiled in the center, his tens of meters tall form exuding suffocating pressure.
Around him, astonishingly, were all Dragon-level Monsters.
Each one was enough to plunge a city into despair!
And cause S-Class Heroes to struggle or even be defeated!
"Human, you dare to intrude here alone." Monster King Orochi's deep voice echoed in the cavern, his hideous and terrifying face looking down at Naruto.
Naruto stood expressionlessly before the many Dragon-level Monsters, as insignificant as an ant, yet the pressure emanating from him solidified the air in the entire space.
"Come at me," Naruto said indifferently, his eyes calm, "Save time."
"Arrogant!"
Gouketsu was the first to move. The ground beneath his feet exploded, and his massive body shot out with a speed completely inconsistent with his size, delivering a punch directly at Naruto's face. The punch compressed the air, emitting a piercing roar.
Almost simultaneously, Elder Centipede launched an attack. Its body, comparable to a high-speed train, suddenly whipped around, sweeping in from the side with mountain-crushing force, sealing off all of Naruto's escape routes.
In the air, the light spheres behind Homeless Emperor, who had floated up, suddenly brightened, and dozens of scorching light torrents, capable of evaporating high-strength alloys, poured down like a divine judgment.
Facing this triple kill from the ground, side, and air, Naruto didn't even move his feet. He merely looked up slightly, his Rinnegan shimmering.
"Shinra Tensei."
Whoosh—!
An invisible yet vast repulsive force, like a tsunami, suddenly erupted from him!
"What?!"
Gouketsu's charging fist seemed to smash into an invisible, unmovable barrier. The immense recoil caused his arm bones to creak under the strain, and he was sent flying backward faster than he came, crashing violently into the rock wall behind him, embedding himself within it.
Elder Centipede's sweep, capable of overturning the earth, was forcibly halted the moment it contacted the repulsive field. Cracks even appeared on several of the foremost sections of its carapace.
It let out a painful hiss, being forcefully pushed to roll backward.
