If the Nine-Tailed Fox were here, it would probably also have a dark expression.
Nine-Tails, your power is too great, I cannot let you go unchecked...
Ino Yamanaka: "As expected of Naruto with black-rimmed glasses~"
Mei Terumi: "Hmm~"
Mei Terumi: "I have a bad feeling."
Temari: "Hmph~"
Temari: "Although this man has a slightly mischievous smile, he's also very handsome..."
Temari: "But it does make me feel a little uneasy."
Mei Terumi: "I have a feeling that Naruto with black frames is going to give me a surprise~"
...
[Wood Release: The Descent of the Flower and Tree Realm!]
[The complete form of Susanoo's body.]
[The surface of Wood Release: Tengu Vine Armor.]
[Naruto's chakra materializes.]
[Next.]
Countless thick tree roots emerged.
"Next!" Onoki shouted in a low voice.
[Whoosh—]
The Fourth Raikage immediately dodged.
[Underfoot.]
The tips of those thick tree roots resembled sharp thorns.
If you're not careful and don't dodge, you'll either be dead or maimed!
The path upwards was blocked by countless thick tree roots.
"Oh no!"
"We were too complacent."
This is terrible.
[Looking at the thick tree roots that seemed to be crashing in like a tsunami.]
[Onoki has no choice but to unleash his ultimate skill.]
[Because it would be difficult for the Fourth Raikage alone to stop it.]
Even a slight mishap could result in severe damage to combat capabilities.
"I'll do it."
Onoki raised his hand.
[Another Dust Escape is about to be used.]
"I can dodge it!"
The Fourth Raikage immediately stopped Onoki.
"One more Dust Release, and your chakra will be almost depleted."
["no need."]
"In terms of speed, only the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, can surpass me!"
[While speaking.]
The Fourth Raikage dodged several attacks from thick tree roots.
[Jump directly onto the tree roots, dodging as the roots sway.]
The Fourth Raikage's reaction was equally swift.
Otherwise, having mastered Lightning Release: Chakra Mode, he wouldn't dare use it at all.
[Unless it's an open battlefield and the charge is in a straight line.]
[finally. ]
[Without stopping or dodging.]
The thick tree roots finally stopped moving.
The Fourth Raikage's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Several times, I almost got pierced through the heart by those thick tree roots.
Ohnoki was also on edge.
"This scale...it's astonishing!"
"Even more terrifying than the First Hokage's Wood Release!"
[Onoki said with lingering fear.]
"This is getting complicated."
"It seems we can't even get close to Naruto-kun."
Even Onoki couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
[call--]
The Fourth Raikage let out a long sigh of relief.
"Instantly creating a forest..."
"Is this guy... really a ninja who just graduated from the ninja academy?"
The Fourth Raikage has begun to doubt whether what he is seeing is an illusion.
It's not that he's unwilling to face reality.
Rather, reality is too surreal.
Just then.
[Swish—]
At the top of the tree roots, the vibrant red flower has bloomed.
"Beware of pollen."
"It would be troublesome if inhaled."
Onoki said in a deep voice.
[A reminder was received.]
The Fourth Raikage immediately became alert to the large amount of pollen drifting towards him.
[at the same time. ]
On the ground.
Mei Terumi arrived at the feet of the Perfect Susanoo.
He reached out and knocked.
"So hard~"
[Then she tilted her snow-white neck back.]
"I wonder how things are up there."
"This huge monster hasn't moved for a while now."
"Did we lose?"
[ Terumi Mei murmured. ]
Suddenly.
A voice sounded from the side.
"I almost forgot about you."
"The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi."
[ Terumi Mei was startled. ]
Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"You can call me Mei Terumi without the prefix."
[Click click click—]
Mei Terumi glanced sideways.
[Then came the Wood Release: Tengu Vine Armor covering the surface of the complete Susanoo.]
A wooden figure grew out.
[The Namu people immediately showed color upon contact with air.]
[Sizzle sizzle—]
[Exposed to air.]
[Naturally, it will be melted away by Mei Terumi's power.]
[but. ]
[Looking at the Wood Release: Wood Clone, who appears to be unharmed.]
Mei Terumi's smile widened.
[Even clones can't be melted?]
He's such an unyielding man.
Even in these details, it cannot be dissolved...
Hmm~
This is truly delightful!
[certainly. ]
Mei Terumi also realized this.
It seems like I'm about to be subjected to military training.
[Looking at the wooden clone standing unharmed in its original position.]
[Terumi Mei's eyes narrowed slightly. ]
[not good. ]
[Can a single clone really cause this much pressure?]
This boy... his strength is still terrifying.
[Tap tap tap—]
Without the slightest hesitation.
Mei Terumi immediately entered battle mode.
[Make distance immediately.]
Close combat is not her forte.
It's not entirely a weakness either.
[After all, there's the existence of Lava Release.]
[Comes with Thornmail.]
The invincible method of using the "melt escape" technique has failed.
"Then I'll have to become a ranged mage."
[The long, slender, and shapely legs kept kicking.]
The figure quickly retreated.
At the same time, Mei Terumi's hands were rapidly forming hand seals.
["Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"]
[Unleashing a powerful water-based technique in a waterless area.]
[As expected of a ninja from Kirigakure, the Mizukage.]
[And after the water jets appeared.]
Mei Terumi immediately poured Lava Release into it.
[Then, open your arms.]
[A sudden, sharp movement.]
The molten vapor that blended with the surrounding mist also enveloped Naruto's Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique.
To Mei Terumi's surprise, Naruto's Wood Release: Wood Clone Jutsu on the opposite side actually made the same move.
For a fleeting moment, Mei Terumi felt as if she were battling her reflection in the mirror.
"The Fourth Generation..."
"No, that's not it."
Mei Terumi shook her head.
[Watching the water jets explode after colliding.]
[Secondary Damage - Lava Release.]
Mei Terumi wanted to move again.
[As a result, she discovered that no matter what she did, this Wood Release: Wood Clone perfectly synchronized with her movements.]
Mei Terumi suddenly had an unhealthy thought.
[but. ]
[Since I've thought of it, let's give it a try.]
[Bang--]
[Hands form a mudra.]
Shadow Clone Technique.
[opposite. ]
Naruto's wood clone is different this time.
[Although they were moving in sync with Mei Terumi's actions.]
However, the technique used was not a shadow clone, but a wood clone.
Mei Terumi's shadow clone glanced back at her original body.
[Then it sped away quickly.]
On the other side, Naruto's wood clone is doing the same.
But, just as the two were about to attack each other...
Mei Terumi paused.
The movement was abruptly stopped.
[The wood clone is the same.]
Mei Terumi's lips curled up uncontrollably.
