Time returned to the father-son battle.
The Root and Anbu Ninja hidden outside the barrier couldn't help but feel a chill as they watched the great battle within.
That was no longer a battle between people, but a battle between monsters.
Uchiha Fugaku was seen emitting blue Chakra, with Susanoo enveloping him like a demon. Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, was clad in red Susanoo, wielding the Totsuka Blade, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The two charged at each other simultaneously, and at the moment of collision, a powerful energy wave was stirred up. The space within the barrier seemed to be torn apart.
Those outside the barrier felt a chill in their hearts. If Uchiha Fugaku were to win, they would not be able to stop that monster with their strength alone.
"Watching the show from this position seems quite interesting."
A strange, mocking voice suddenly rang out beside several Root members, causing the Root Ninja, who were still amazed by Susanoo's terrifying aura, to feel a chill.
"Enemy!"
A Root member shouted, and the others all looked towards the source of the voice, where a Three-Eyed Cat Face Masked Man was standing.
"Shadow Imitation Technique!"
A member of the Nara Clan from Root immediately formed hand seals. It was night, which was his domain. The shadow under his feet immediately connected with the shadow under Naruto's feet.
"Success!"
Feeling the restraint on his body, Naruto suddenly felt that this technique wasn't that great. As long as his Chakra or body was strong enough, the opponent wouldn't be able to control him at all.
"Mind Body Switch Technique!"
Just as Naruto was carefully feeling the Shadow Imitation Technique, another Root member made a move, a member of the Yamanaka Clan from Root.
Soon, Naruto felt a consciousness trying to drill into his head. Feeling too uncomfortable, Naruto directly kicked him to see the Nine Tails.
"Got him?"
In the eyes of others, Naruto's appearance now meant that he had been controlled.
"Attack quickly!"
The Root Ninja who cast the Shadow Imitation Technique shouted at the other Root members. Sometimes he really thought these Root members were stupid, their brains so slow.
"Okay."
Several Root Ninja then reacted and quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
These four Root members were obviously a very familiar team. Two were in charge of control, and two were in charge of output, and the two output Ninja also had enhancements in Ninjutsu.
However, it was still slightly inferior to Naruto.
"Looks like that's all there is to it. There's a big shot next to me."
Naruto shook his head in disappointment, directly breaking free from the control of the Shadow Imitation Technique. A huge vortex appeared, and the two seemingly powerful Ninjutsu were absorbed into Naruto.
Without a special Bloodline Limit and physique, there was no value in absorbing them for Naruto. That little Chakra wasn't even enough for him to create a Mini Spiraling Ring.
"Consider it a gift for our first meeting."
A small black ball the size of a fingertip condensed on Naruto's index finger.
Mini Spiraling Ring!
Naruto himself had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
The three Root members who were still conscious stared blankly at the expanding black ball, and then the world became silent, leaving a pit of more than ten meters in place.
"Team, team leader, what happened on the Root side again?"
Although the power of the Mini Spiraling Ring was much smaller, the momentum of the explosion was equally great, and it immediately attracted the attention of the Anbu team.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke also looked suspiciously in the direction of the explosion just now, and immediately made a decision.
"You two go and see what's going on, and report back to me immediately if there's anything."
"Yes!"
The two spoke at the same time, and then went to the place where the explosion had just occurred.
But a long time passed, and there was no news from the two.
"Shinnosuke?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's wife spoke from the side, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
"Yes, we should have encountered an enemy."
The solemn look on Sarutobi Shinnosuke's face was even greater. As the eldest son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Anbu under his command were by no means ordinary people, and the lowest were Jonin. And to be able to solve the two silently, even he could not do it unless the other party's strength reached the level of his father.
"Ayari, you go to the Hokage Building first and tell Father about this. I suspect that the explosion just now was caused by the Masked Man from a year ago."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke wanted his wife to leave first. With his strength as an elite Jonin, he should be able to retreat completely.
Ayari hesitated for a moment, and out of confidence in her husband's strength, she nodded in agreement.
"In that case, you must also be careful. Your identity is different from other Ninja."
After Ayari finished speaking, she jumped directly onto the tree branch.
Just as she jumped up on the tree branch, an air bullet directly pierced her chest and fell from the tree.
"Ayari!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was originally watching his wife leave, shouted out loud when he saw this scene, and ran madly towards the place where his wife fell.
By the time he found his wife, she was already dead.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke only felt that his heart was about to jump out, and the desire for killing was constantly rising.
"Who?"
"Who is it?"
"Get out here!"
Thump!
A heavy object suddenly fell in front of him, one of the Anbu who had gone ahead.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately stepped forward, grabbed the man's collar, and questioned him.
"Kuma, what exactly is going on?"
"Cough, cough, cough—"
But the man called Kuma only coughed, and he then noticed that one of the man's arms had been cut off.
"Sarutobi Shinnosuke, vice minister of Konoha Anbu, son of the Hokage, quite the big shot."
The voice came from above. When Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked up, he saw a figure wearing a white robe and a Three-Eyed Cat Face Mask.
"It's you!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes were about to burst, and he threw the Anbu member away on the spot. "Why did you kill Ayari?"
"Huh?"
Naruto seemed a little surprised by the question, or perhaps amused by it.
"Do you want the right to pull the trigger without the resolve to be killed?"
"Sarutobi Shinnosuke, you shouldn't be this naive, right?"
"Bastard!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke cursed angrily and used a Ninjutsu that Naruto was very familiar with.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Three figures appeared beside him.
"Interesting." Naruto thought of Sarutobi Hiruzen's famous move, although there was one less clone.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's main body and clones, a total of four people, each formed different hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
Because Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't have Lightning Release Chakra, he had never been able to integrate Lightning Release Ninjutsu into this Ninjutsu, but even so, the current momentum was already quite terrifying.
A huge amount of Chakra gathered around Sarutobi Shinnosuke. Regardless of the power, the scene was quite spectacular. The four Ninjutsu merged together, like charging up to release a wave.
"In that case, I'll use this."
A planet-like black ball appeared in Naruto's palm. He imitated the Nine Tails using the Tailed Beast Ball, held it in his hand, highly concentrated the Chakra, and then emitted it as a ray-like flash.
Let's call it Hollow Flash.
Both sides were ready. Naruto was on the left, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke was on the right, but just as they came into contact, Sarutobi Shinnosuke fell asleep.
The remaining shockwave of the Hollow Flash directly split the entire forest in half.
"This..."
The Anbu with the code name Bear subconsciously swallowed, looking at the seemingly endless ravine. This is probably a humanoid Tailed Beast, right?
"Your code name is Bear?"
Bear nodded subconsciously.
"Go tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that if he wants his son, he should come to the Uchiha Clan Grounds himself."
