[Sizzle sizzle—]
The Fourth Raikage's lightning chakra cloak erupted with an even higher frequency of lightning.
"Again!"
[suck--]
Mei Terumi didn't slack off or hold back because of this.
[Still, I'll go all out as much as possible.]
[After all.]
[It's all been confirmed; my Lava Release technique won't affect that equally passionate young man.]
[puff--]
[Another Lava Escape technique.]
[It rushed towards Naruto like a waterfall.]
Naruto stood still.
[but. ]
Her smile faded somewhat.
"Compared to previous generations."
"It has indeed weakened considerably."
"If this trend continues..."
"Ninjas will keep degenerating."
"The power of bloodline limits may be significantly weakened in the next generation."
"If no decisive figure emerges... ninjas will most likely fade from the historical stage in the end."
"Not necessarily, but it won't become effortless."
"And this situation naturally leads to supplementation in other areas."
[Conservation.]
When ninjas are weakened, those who can replace their power will rise.
Naruto believed that technology would inevitably rise to prominence.
The speed depends on when the ninja leaves the scene.
[Ninjas cannot tolerate technology; that's just how it is.]
But what if ninjas and technology were to merge?
That would mean progress in both areas.
[Sizzle sizzle—]
[The Lava Release technique completely enveloped Naruto.]
Mei Terumi wipes the honey-like liquid from the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes were alluring.
[What a passionate young man!]
[It fulfilled all of Mei Terumi's fantasies.]
[Another one who isn't afraid of the heat and is inherently hot.]
Their strength goes without saying.
Having strong capabilities is definitely a plus.
[Especially Kirigakure, which had only recently emerged from the Village of Blood Mist.]
In this ninja world.
Strength is always the most important factor.
[Food shortages and endless war.]
It's perfectly normal to admire the strong, especially in Kirigakure, the Hidden Mist Village in the Blood Mist.
Most importantly, this blond guy is still a big boy.
It's perfectly normal for Terumi Mei to be smitten.
Besides, this was chosen by someone else...
[Ahem, this has received absolute confirmation from that big fat sheep.]
Mei Terumi now understands why.
She has completely fallen for him.
It's not visible on the surface.
But what if Naruto just beckoned with his finger?
The scene was so beautiful...
Fortunately, Mei Terumi is quite sensible; in a situation like this, she wouldn't actually do what she expects.
Mei Terumi: "..."
never mind.
It seems I overestimated myself in the black-framed world.
However...
It's all my own business anyway.
Mei Terumi knows her own current situation perfectly well.
A lady, a mature woman, an older sister.
She refused to believe that Naruto with black frames, who wanted to revive the Uzumaki clan, would refuse her.
Hard work pays off.
Even if Naruto with black frames refused.
There's another way to approach it.
for example.
Big fox~
For example, Kushina~
"Giggle~"
"Blonde guy, you can't escape!"
The Hidden Mist Clan: "..."
"Master, quickly prepare for the Sixth Mizukage's arrival!"
If you don't hurry up...
At that point, it'll be a mere scratch on the surface, and the Fifth Mizukage will actually get his hands on it.
They wouldn't even bother pretending; they'd betray you instantly.
Then she took Kirigakure with her as part of her dowry from her family...
...
["Um?"]
The Fourth Raikage is trapped inside.
[What...what is going on?!]
[Looking at Naruto Uzumaki being engulfed by Mei Terumi's Lava Release.]
The Fourth Raikage was truly dumbfounded.
Based on his speculation.
Mei Terumi's Lava Release technique can most likely only block movement.
[Missing.]
[They also couldn't pose a significant threat to Naruto Uzumaki.]
[But as long as they can block movement, that's enough.]
Who would have thought?
[Before me stands the young ruler of the Land of Whirlpools.]
They didn't even try to dodge.
[but. ]
In this way...
Even the Fourth Raikage couldn't easily intervene.
He was about to turn around and have Onoki make his move.
[Let's take this opportunity to show this overconfident brat the power of a Shadow.]
[result. ]
[Splash—]
The Lava Release technique expelled by Mei Terumi seemed to possess a sense of self.
[Open up to the left and right sides from Naruto's sides.]
Naruto's lips curled slightly.
[He still wore that gentle smile.]
["Lightning-level Chiyo Mai~!"]
The Fourth Raikage reacted quickly as well.
[Make your move without hesitation.]
[Falling down from above.]
[A palm strike was delivered.]
[BOOM—!!!]
[However. ]
[Before he even got close.]
A large number of vines surged out from beneath Naruto.
Several thick tree roots rose from the ground beneath their feet.
[Sizzle—]
The Fourth Raikage was surrounded by lightning.
The hand chop was crackling with countless arcs of electricity, resembling snakes.
[Their penetrating power is extremely strong.]
Naruto glanced up at the wooden plank blocking his head.
[This appearance is somewhat similar to Susanoo.]
In terms of defense, it completely overwhelms Susanoo.
[It's somewhat similar to Gaara's absolute defense.]
However, they aren't as flexible as Gaara's sand.
Not necessarily.
Naruto looked at the dense, thin vines around his feet.
It actually succeeded.
[It seems my Wood Release has fundamentally surpassed my great-grandfather's Wood Release.]
[puff--]
[far away. ]
Mei Terumi immediately came to their aid upon seeing this.
[Another hand seal is formed.]
[It vomited a large amount of solution.]
["Onoki!"]
"Are you ready?!"
The Fourth Raikage immediately stepped back, shouting without turning his head.
[Splash—]
[The Lava Release technique is continuously corroding the Wood Release technique.]
However, the speed is a bit slow.
"Too slow."
Suddenly.
The sound came from above.
[Naruto, without anyone noticing, had been lifted into the air by the tree roots beneath his feet.]
Looking down at Mei Terumi and the Fourth Raikage.
["What?" Mei Terumi was taken aback.]
She could sense that Naruto was talking to her.
"Bloodline strength."
"But we can't keep using it in such a rigid way."
Sometimes, a little change is necessary.
Naruto bent down.
[Use your hands to scoop up some of the melted liquid.]
[Under Mei Terumi's curious gaze.]
Naruto flicked the solution in his hand.
[not good! ]
[They're after me!]
Damn it!
The Fourth Raikage was stunned.
[Dodge immediately.]
But it's all in vain.
[Buzz—]
The solution vaporizes instantly.
[Naruto forms a hand seal with one hand.]
[boom--]
[The surrounding area.]
[A strong wind is blowing!]
[call out--]
The wind blade, enveloped in vaporized solution, hurtled straight towards the Fourth Raikage.
In the blink of an eye...
The Fourth Raikage's face darkened.
[A cloak of lightning chakra surrounding his body.]
[Dissolving has begun.]
This isn't over yet.
The large amount of Lava Release that Mei Terumi had previously unleashed beneath Naruto was all swept up.
[Lava Release: Lava Dragon Bullet!]
Using wind manipulation, they swirled the solution, transforming it into an attack resembling water dragon bullets.
[The Fourth Raikage: "..."]
Mei Terumi's eyes lit up.
[boom--]
Just then.
The Fourth Raikage paused.
Looking down, he saw that a large number of vines had sprouted from beneath his feet, binding his legs.
[at the same time. ]
The ground beneath the Fourth Raikage's feet caved in.
[Earth Escape! ]
[Boom!]
[The four sides above.]
A wooden wall was erected using Wood Release techniques.
[boom--]
The area around the sunken ground.
Two enormous wooden hands appeared.
[Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique.]
[The Fourth Raikage: "..."]
[Why? ]
[Above, the Lava Release: Lava Dragon Shot descended straight down.]
A sudden gust of wind arose.
[And at this critical moment...]
["Dust Release: Particle Style!"]
