Chapter 99: The C4 Bomb
The Rasenshuriken shot through the sky like a meteor, radiating dazzling rays of light. A buzzing sound gradually filled the air. The terrifying power of the Rasenshuriken caused the air to vibrate. Wherever it passed, the surrounding space seemed to warp slightly.
Everyone watched this scene. Sasori was even more shocked. He never expected Naruto's Rasenshuriken to follow right after he had barely escaped Naruto's previous attack. Naruto didn't give him any room to breathe.
Sasori could sense the terrifying power of the Rasenshuriken. It seemed to contain countless amounts of chakra—a terrifying existence that condensed wind attribute chakra together. If it erupted, everything around it would be destroyed.
With such a terrible technique, Sasori hadn't even noticed when Naruto formed it. It was as if he had created it in an instant. That was right—just a moment. Naruto had cast this Rasenshuriken almost in the blink of an eye. His current power was enough to achieve that speed.
Before Sasori could react, the Rasenshuriken that had rushed like a meteor suddenly landed on him.
Boom!
A terrifying air wave erupted from the Rasenshuriken instantly. After the Rasenshuriken hit its target, the chakra contained within it spread out, its power pouring forth.
In an instant, Sasori's body was swallowed by the white light of the Rasenshuriken. The air wave swept outward. The huge force caused all the surrounding trees to be blown away by the whirlwind. Kurenai and the others raised their arms to block the wind pressure.
Deidara and Kakashi also noticed this scene. They both looked in astonishment at the aftermath of the Rasenshuriken's explosion. It was like a massive detonation.
After the Rasenshuriken spread, everywhere it touched was completely destroyed. Trees and grass were all turned to dust. A large, circular crater appeared in the ground.
Everyone looked at this scene in shock. It was just like when Naruto had destroyed Konoha—spectacular and terrifying. The power of the Rasenshuriken shocked everyone present.
This was Naruto's current strength, now that the Byakuya Kuchiki template was fully unlocked at 100%. Naruto's various abilities had not only improved, but the way he used them was also more powerful. When using the Rasenshuriken now, not only was his formation speed faster, but the power was several times stronger than before. Even a simple technique could exert more power than before.
After the Rasenshuriken's power was completely released, a large crater dozens of meters wide appeared in the forest.
Everyone looked into the crater. Lying there in a sorry state was a figure. The figure had red hair and a puppet's body. The black robe with red clouds he wore was now tattered. The character for "nuclear" on his chest was extremely dim.
This person was Sasori.
At that moment, Sasori was very weak. His young face was full of shock and horror. He looked at the sky in disbelief, panting wildly.
He couldn't believe he had lost. He had never expected to be defeated. He had never thought he would lose so completely. This wasn't a fight—this was a total crushing. He had been completely crushed by Naruto.
At that moment, Sasori understood why Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame had been defeated by Naruto. What they were facing was a complete monster. Naruto's attacks—every single move—were terrifying. The last Rasenshuriken hadn't even given him a chance to breathe.
That terrible attack had seemed so casual, leaving him nowhere to resist. He couldn't use his strength. He didn't even have room to fight back. He had been completely defeated by Naruto.
Sasori couldn't believe any of it. He had never lost so thoroughly. He had never met such a terrifying opponent. He panted heavily, his eyes wide open as he looked at Naruto in horror. He was speechless for a long time.
"You... what kind of monster are you?"
Sasori stared hard at Naruto and said through gritted teeth.
Yes—a monster. Sasori couldn't believe this was something a human could do. Even Uchiha Madara in his prime had needed time to cast powerful ninjutsu. But Naruto hadn't even moved to form hand signs. The Rasenshuriken had just appeared.
Naruto stared indifferently at Sasori and said lightly:
"I'm not a monster. I'm what you said I am—the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
After his words fell, Sasori was stunned. Before he could say anything else, the core in the center of his body shattered. The complete "nuclear" character had turned to fragments at that moment. It had been completely destroyed by the Rasenshuriken.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Then Deidara finally reacted. His partner—Sasori—had been killed by Naruto.
Deidara trembled. He suddenly shouted:
"Uncle Sasori!"
Then Deidara turned and glared at Naruto. His eyes were full of unstoppable anger, as if he wanted to kill Naruto with nothing but his glare.
"Bastard! You bastard! You actually killed Uncle Sasori!"
After speaking, Deidara pulled out a lump of clay and chewed it frantically. Along with Deidara's movements, the chakra in his body suddenly went berserk, like a bomb faintly and constantly building up.
Then Deidara spit the clay out of his mouth violently. After the explosive clay appeared, it fell to the ground and instantly formed a doll that looked exactly like Deidara.
The doll kept expanding, growing larger and larger. A white light flashed inside its body, containing terrible chakra. In the end, the doll that was shaped exactly like Deidara turned into a giant over ten meters tall.
Seeing this huge "Deidara" formed from explosive clay, everyone's pupils dilated in horror. They knew this wasn't a work of art. This was a massive bomb. And right now, that bomb had taken the shape of a giant—absolutely enormous.
Just how terrible would such a huge bomb's power be?
Seeing the horrified looks on Kakashi and the others' faces, Deidara sneered smugly. Then he formed hand signs with both hands and shouted suddenly:
"Drink! C4 Bomb Garuda! Explode!"
