Naruto grimaced.
A humongous wolf was descending towards them from a nearby mountain, and it was approaching at a rapid pace.
"Fuck"
The blonde cursed under his breath and unsheathed his sword, ready to engage in battle with the monstrosity aimed to tear them. Jiraiya weaved a series of hand signs and struck the ground with both of his palms.
"Earth Style: Earth Pillars!"
With his shout, several pillars made of mud rose, each one at least 200 Meters tall. The Sanin shot a glance at Naruto and hurriedly spoke:
"Get in cover, quick! Although it won't help us that much, it would be enough to wound the beast with a surprise attack!"
Hearing Jiraiya's instructions, Naruto nodded and sped up before finding a good enough spot. He stuck to the pillar and moved a bit to glance at the abomination.
'Damm, it's fast'
The wolf was speeding up at an unimaginable rate, with each second its size was growing. It had super sharp teeth, each one the size of 3 Naruto's, and its fur was pure white and its eyes an infernal red with a dark hue.
Naruto felt true dread looking at the beast... It was... Truly a manifestation of dread.
'On second though, nah... Kurama is way scarier'
Naruto shook his head off those thoughts and focused.
'Here it comes'
Naruto prepared for the inevitable, but it still surprised him. With a deafening howl, the wolf broke several dozens of pillars and rushed toward where it last spotted the humans.
Its each step left the earth rumbling, and the debris from the collision broke out like a meteor shower.
The wolf passed between Naruto, and soon enough, Jiraiya's shout came. They had of course hidden their scent using Chakra, or else they would've been smelled and hunted by the wolf.
"Now!!!"
Naruto channelled Chakra through the soles of his feet and shot out with his blade. The wolf heard the shout and looked to its right, but there was nothing to be found.
"Fucking Die!!"
Naruto cried out as he ran up the wolf's spine and reached its head, he enhanced Dawn with Chakra and struck down its skull with enough force to pass through its thick skin.
Howl!!
The wolf roared, and before Naruto was able to kill the fiend, it fiercely shook his head and launched Naruto into the air.
"Fuckk!!!!"
Naruto screamed as he was launched into the air with boulder-shattering force.
....
Meanwhile, Jiraiya had been hiding in the shadows of the piller, waiting for the perfect opportunity. And seeing Naruto climb up its head, he knew it was the right time.
Jiraiya sped and slid between the beast's legs to reach under his belly, and before Naruto struck the wolf with the sword, Jiraiya threw a big scroll which he was carrying on his back and retreated.
The wolf stopped as it howled in pain, and it launched Naruto into the air. Jiraiya silently prayed for his apprentice before grinning.
"Die!"
He channelled Chakra through a thin string which was connected to the scroll, and then... All hell broke loose.
A big pillar of black inferno rose and penetrated through the wolf's belly. Burned by the incinerating heat, the wolf ran like a wild beast... But all its struggle was in vain, as the flames of Amaterasu burned it from the inside out.
"AHH!!"
Naruto, who was launched into the air screamed as he descended from the sky. He quickly pulled out a scroll, bit his thumb and planted his finger into the seal.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
As soon as the words left his lips, a big cloud of smoke formed under him. And Naruto, instead of hitting the cold ground, his fall was cushioned on a slimy surface.
Of course, he had enhanced his body with Chakra and slowed down the fall using Wind Style... or else, even on that slimy surface, he would've had grave injuries.
Naruto rose from the slime while grunting, he coughed and used Water Style to get rid of the minute amount of slime that evaded his mouth and nose... and his ears.
"Pftt!!Hahahahaha!!!"
Hearing Jiraiya's laughter from underneath, Naruto growled and despawned his summon before it had anything to say.... He was not in a good mood, and his Chakra reserve was almost extinguished from summoning the giant toad.
If it were any other summons, it wouldn't have been a problem, but this guy was a beast of his own.
He quickly grabbed a pillar and used the slime on his body to descend to the ground with rapid speed.
On reaching the ground, he shot a glare at Jiraiya, who was standing on top of the abomination's burned corpse.
'Asshole'
