21: Chapter 21 The Slug PrincessRecently, an invisible tension has been permeating the air in Konoha.
The power vacuum left by the passing of three generations has allowed certain long-hidden forces to begin to stir.
Ino has been on a mission with the 10th Squad these past few days, so the flower shop is temporarily closed.
With fewer places to go on his daily routine, Naruto seemed more idle.
He finished his day at the third training ground and strolled back to his apartment, seemingly lazy, but in reality, he was maintaining all his senses to the fullest.
The raccoon was unusually tense today, filled with suppressed fear.Was that old dog Danzo about to lose his temper?
Just as he turned into a relatively quiet, only-accessible alley—
Four figures appeared silently at the alley entrance, wearing traditional animal masks and Root-style uniforms.They exuded no extra aura, like cold killing machines, completely blocking the way.
There were no warnings, no negotiations.
The two Root members directly in front of them immediately raised their hands!
"Sealing Technique: Limb Binding!"
"Illusion Technique: The Technique of Seeing the Abyss!"
Invisible sealing runes shot towards Naruto's limbs like chains, while at the same time, chilling genjutsu chakra pierced his mind, attempting to strip him of his mobility and consciousness!
Their perfect teamwork and ruthless actions were exactly what one would expect from dealing with a high-risk rogue ninja!
Naruto's pupils constricted sharply!He had expected it, but he hadn't anticipated such ruthlessness!
"Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
Almost the instant the other party raised their hand, he kicked hard against the side wall!His figure blurred for a moment, narrowly avoiding the main force of the sealing runes, but his left leg was still grazed, and he felt a heavy sensation!
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and countless terrifying illusions began to arise, but the powerful mental force brought by the backlash of the Heart-Binding Curse allowed him to immediately break free from the illusion's shackles!His eyes regained their clarity!
But in that short time, two other Root members had already closed in from behind!
The kunai, glowing with a poisonous light, pierced straight at the back of the heart and kidneys!The angle was tricky, showing no mercy!
Naruto twisted and kicked, knocking away one kunai, but he couldn't completely avoid the other, and could only barely turn to the side!
laugh!
The kunai slashed his right arm deeply, blood gushing out instantly, and a numbing sensation spread through the wound!It was poisonous!
"What a nuisance!" Naruto cursed inwardly.
The elite troops at the root are indeed far superior to those small fry from before!
He will no longer hold back!
"Vacuum Wind Blade!"
A high-frequency buzzing sound rang out!Several invisible wind blades instantly slashed towards the surrounding Root members!
The Root members were clearly caught off guard by this attack, which required no hand seals, was invisible and intangible yet incredibly sharp, and they all quickly dodged or blocked it!
Clang!Clang!
The wind blades slashed against the kunai and the special arm guards, producing a piercing scraping sound and even leaving deep cuts!A Root member who was a little slow to dodge had his mask grazed by the edge of the wind blade, and the mask instantly shattered, revealing a pair of eyes filled with horror!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Naruto activated his chakra and forcibly broke through the seal on his left leg.He activated the Body Flicker Technique again, attempting to break out of the encirclement!
"Barrier Technique: Three-Way Sealing Formation!"
The three Root members quickly took up the triangular positions and simultaneously formed hand seals!A pale purple transparent barrier instantly rose up, enveloping the entire alley!
Naruto crashed into the barrier wall and was violently bounced back!
"Naruto Uzumaki, give up resistance and come with us to Root for investigation." The lead Root member's voice was cold and numb, like a machine.
Naruto wiped the blood off his arm, looked at the four elite Root ninjas in front of him, and felt his right arm starting to go numb and the barrier that had trapped him.He knew that things couldn't end well today.
Danzo's goal was clear—to take advantage of the chaos and forcibly control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
It's impossible to expect the Dark Division "Ha" to come to the rescue; he doesn't have the capability either.
The battle erupts once again!Naruto combines his Vacuum Wind Blade technique with taijutsu to its fullest extent, fighting against four elite Root members within the confined barrier!
However, he was no match for the combined forces of his opponents, who were well-coordinated and used a variety of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and sealing techniques.In addition, he was poisoned, and his movements gradually became sluggish.
Pfft!
A specially made sealing kunai seized an opening and stabbed it fiercely into his right shoulder!The powerful sealing force surged in instantly, almost crippling his arm!
Immediately afterwards, a heavy punch slammed into his abdomen!
"Ugh!" Naruto spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward, crashed heavily into the barrier wall, and bounced back to the ground.
Poison, sealing power, internal injuries.multiple blows caused his vision to blur, and his chakra circulation almost came to a standstill.
The shadow of death loomed over the place.
The leading member of the Root stepped forward, gathering the final sealing spell in his hand, preparing for the crucial finishing touch.
Just at this moment of despair—
Naruto felt that deep within the seal in his abdomen, that enormous, evil, long-dormant power seemed to be stimulated by intense malice from the outside world, and suddenly became restless!
An indescribable, tearing pain spread from my abdomen throughout my entire body!
Bang!
Bang!Bang!My blood and energy felt like they were about to explode!
Consciousness gradually faded!
Immediately afterwards, a violent and evil crimson chakra surged out of his body like a flood bursting its banks!
It instantly broke through part of the seal!
A shimmering, flame-like crimson chakra cloak covered his entire body!
Two tails made of pure malicious chakra coalesced behind him and danced wildly!
His eyes turned into wild, scarlet vertical pupils, and his face showed the marks of a fox spirit with whiskers.His teeth were sharp!
"Nine-Tails Chakra!Out of control!Suppress with all your might!" Although the Root members were panicked, they were well-trained and immediately changed their strategy, unleashing their strongest sealing techniques at full power!
However, the passively activated Tailed Beast Cloak, though uncontrollable, contains the most primal and violent power!
"roar--!"
The inhuman roar was deafening!
Naruto's half-tailed beast form lunged at the nearest Root member!His speed, strength, and reflexes increased exponentially!There was no technique!Just pure.The power to crush!
Claws covered in scarlet chakra brutally tore through the opponent's defenses and body!
Blood splattered!
The battle immediately became even bloodier and more one-sided!
Completely out of control, the tailed beast chakra instinctively attacked everything living in its field of vision!
The barrier fluctuated violently under the ferocious attack!
Another Root member had his sternum shattered by the crimson tail and died on the spot!
In a moment of horror, the leader of the Root members desperately formed hand seals!
"seal up--"
Before he could finish speaking, a scarlet wind blade swept past!
His hands, which were holding the hand seals, were severed at the wrists!Immediately afterward, a claw covered in chakra pierced straight through his heart!
The last Root member attempted a sneak attack from behind, aiming a kunai at Naruto's back, but was instead caught by the wildly dancing scarlet tail which suddenly wrapped around his neck and snapped it with a crack!
The battle ended in just one or two minutes.
Four elite members of the Root Force were wiped out!
The alleyway had become a bloody slaughterhouse, filled with a heavy stench of blood and a violent aura of chakra.
The monster standing in the middle of the pool of blood let out a satisfied yet violent growl.Its scarlet vertical pupils stared blankly at the sky, and its dark red chakra even formed bubbly patterns that kept overflowing.
Soon, without the stimulation of external threats, the violent chakra began to recede like a tide.
The crimson outer garment flickered, then finally vanished completely, shrinking back into Naruto's body.The tail also disappeared.
His eyes returned to blue, and the fox demon marks on his face faded.
Thump.
Naruto fell straight backward, crashing onto the cold stone floor, and completely lost consciousness.
His wounds had mostly healed thanks to the tailed beast's chakra, and even the poison seemed to have been suppressed or cleared.However, his clothes were tattered and covered in blood and dust, and he was in a deep coma with a weak breath.
Just as Naruto was unconscious—
"Ugh.so noisy.what was that noise just now.hiccup."
A voluptuous, curvaceous blonde woman wearing a tea-green robe with black trim was seen staggering towards them.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glazed, and she was holding a nearly empty wine bottle in her hand, clearly quite drunk.
It was Tsunade, who had just returned to Konoha and was feeling depressed because of mourning her teacher, and was now completely drunk!
She stumbled to the alley entrance, saw the figure lying motionless on the ground, and blinked her hazy, drunken eyes.
"Hmm?Is this.some kind of new.sleeping place?"
She hiccuped, completely unaware of the horror of the scene, and instead tilted her head, staring at Naruto's dazzling blond hair and the perfectly intact skin beneath his tattered clothes.
"Oh~ sleeping here.you'll catch a cold.silly boy."
She staggered over to Naruto and awkwardly squatted down beside him.
She stretched out her index finger and poked Naruto's cheek; it was soft and warm.
"Hey.wake up.you can't sleep here."
Naruto did not react.
Tsunade, her eyes blurry with drunkenness, gazed at his profile: golden hair, youthful features… a few hazy yet warm memories flashed through her intoxicated mind.
".They look so pitiful."
She mumbled something, then very naturally reached out and scooped up the unconscious Naruto, holding him like a large plush toy, letting his head rest against her soft, plump breasts.
"Sweetie.don't sleep here.come home with your sister.hiccup.my bed is big."
Carrying the unconscious, ragged Naruto whose body had been repaired by the power of the tailed beast, she staggered and wobbled towards her temporary dwelling, humming an off-key tune.
A few minutes later, more members of the Dark Guard and Root arrived at the scene, only to find a scene of utter devastation.
"They're all wiped out.It was the power of the Nine-Tails!"
"Where's Naruto?"
"Report.Based on the traces and.eyewitness reports.it seems.Lady Tsunade.took her away."
"They.they took him away?"
"Yes.Lady Tsunade seemed to be drunk at the time."
Tonight, many people in Konoha are destined to have sleepless nights.
Naruto, completely unaware of what was happening, was taken away from the scene in a very dangerous manner by one of the three legendary Sannin who was deeply intoxicated while he was unconscious.
