Chapter 110 - 10

Chapter 10: Anbu Emerges"Too slow!"Amidst the storm, Naruto's clear and calm voice rang out.A golden figure could be seen weaving effortlessly through the gaps between the gale and the sharp blades, like a ghost!He would nimbly turn sideways, slightly pivot in mid-air, or, when an attack was unavoidable, simply wave his hand. The invisible Chakra coating his hand would precisely deflect the weapon, producing a metallic "clang" sound!His speed remained completely unaffected!In almost just two breaths, Naruto tore through this seemingly impenetrable defense and lunged in front of Mizuki!"Damn it! Don't underestimate me! You brat!!"Driven to a desperate situation, Mizuki roared with a ferocious expression. He violently pulled a giant shuriken, larger than a human head, from the Ninjatool pouch on his lower back. He poured Chakrainto it frantically, causing the blade to glow with a cyan light. With all his might, he slashed down at the crouching, charging Naruto!"Die!"Instead of retreating, Naruto advanced. His left foot stomped heavily on the ground, causing it to crack again!At the same time, he pulled his left fist to his waist, and the Chakra inside his body gathered toward his fist with unprecedented speed and density!A 0.000001-second burst?Now is the time!Chakra Envelopment!Clench fist!Twist waist!Strike!!!"Hum—!"A low yet heart-stopping hum rang out!Above Naruto's fist, a layer of extreme, light-absorbing pitch-black suddenly appeared!This black color jumped like lightning, disturbing the surrounding air and even causing ripples in the nearby scenery!Fist and giant shuriken collided violently!There was no earth-shattering roar, only a short and crisp—"Crack—poof!"The giant shuriken, infused with all of Mizuki's Chakra, shattered into pieces the moment it touched that touch of black, like glass struck by an invisible giant hammer!The momentum of the punch didn't stop, landing solidly on Mizuki's hastily raised arms."Ugh—!!!"The teeth-gritting sound of shattering bones erupted like popping beans!Mizuki's arms twisted and broke in a way that completely violated human anatomy. The terrifying force passed through his arms into his torso, causing his chest to cave inward like a soda can kicked by someone.His entire body was like a person hit head-on by a speeding truck, flying backward like a cannonball for over ten meters, slamming heavily into a large tree, and then sliding to the ground like soft mud."Cough... cough cough..."Mizuki lay on the ground like a puddle of boneless rotten meat, blood mixed with fragments of internal organs constantly gushing from his mouth. He could only make wheezing sounds, his eyes filled with boundless fear and confusion.He couldn't understand how he could have been defeated by Naruto, this loser!And defeated so thoroughly, so... miserably!Naruto walked slowly to him, leaned over, and easily grabbed his broken collar with one hand, lifting him from the ground like a chick until he was level with his own line of sight."Alright, Teacher Mizuki,"A smile without any warmth appeared on Naruto's face, "Now, can you answer your student's question properly? My parents, 'heroes'? And... what is actually inside the scroll of seals?"Under the moonlight, this young face began to twist and distort in Mizuki's bloodshot eyes...In a daze, these eyes overlapped with the scarlet vertical pupils of the Nine-Tailed fox that ravaged the night of the blood moon deep in his memory..."Mon... monster... Ahhh! Stay away!!"Extreme fear made him lose control of his bladder; his crotch quickly became wet, and his body trembled violently uncontrollably.Naruto wrinkled his nose in disgust:"Tch, you peed yourself just from this? Your guts are much worse than your acting skills, Teacher. You won't talk? Then we might have to deal with your 'personal hygiene' problem first..."He slowly raised his other hand, and the pitch-black energy began to condense again."Stop! Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki—"A cold shout came from the side and behind!A figure wearing a fox mask flashed like a ghost, one hand grabbing toward Naruto's raised wrist, intending to capture Naruto!This person was used to being overbearing and, without asking right from wrong, came up to try and restrain Naruto.However, Naruto's combat instincts had long since been reborn!The moment the other party spoke, his right hand holding the wrist remained motionless, but his left elbow, like a cannonball leaving the chamber, struck backward with a fierce elbow strike at a faster speed and a trickier angle!Who are you ordering around?!Take my elbow!!!"Bang!!!"A dull impact sound rang out! This elbow struck solidly into the center of the fox-masked Ninja's mask!"Crack!"The sturdy, specially-made mask shattered upon impact!The Ninja let out a muffled groan, all words blocked back, his whole body flipped into the air by this immense force, tumbling several times in the air.He fell with a "thump" next to the puddle of water Mizuki had left, twitched twice, and completely passed out."What are you doing?! Uzumaki Naruto!""Swish, swish, swish!"Three figures wearing similar animal masks appeared instantly around Naruto, surrounding him in a triangular formation, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.Leading them was a Ninja wearing a dog mask, whose aura was the most refined and heavy.Naruto frowned, his intuition telling him: these few people were far stronger than trash like Mizuki, especially the dog-headed one leading them, who posed the greatest threat!Is this Anbu?In my current state, I'm afraid the odds of winning a head-on fight aren't high...He calmed down, shook the Mizuki he was holding, and took the initiative to speak, his voice clear: "I want to see Third Hokage grandfather."Not waiting for the other party to question him, he immediately explained:"This person, Mizuki, attempted to beguile me into going to the Hokage Building to steal the scroll of seals, lying that it was my parents' inheritance. When the beguilement failed, he launched an attack on me, and I have already subdued him."scroll of seals?The Jinchuriki's parents?The eyelids under the few people's masks twitched, and they all looked at the soft creature in unison.You bastard!!!The leader stepped forward, attempting to hold Naruto accountable."Then why did you attack an Anbu member? Do you know that doing this is viol—""I don't know!"Naruto interrupted."Mizuki's beguilement failed, so he launched an attack on me. After I defeated him, I was about to ask for information when he suddenly approached me. I thought he was Mizuki's accomplice, so I defended myself subconsciously.""But he declared his Anbu identity!"The female Ninja wearing a cat mask on the side couldn't help but question.Naruto raised his eyelids, applied a little force under his feet, and stepped on the back of the unconscious fox-faced Ninja, causing that person to spit out another mouthful of blood with a "pfft.""Did he say that? I only heard the words 'Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.' What is that? I've never heard of it!""Ordering me around the moment you show up?!?""What high and mighty airs!""..."The cat-faced female Ninja was speechless.The dog-headed Ninja raised his hand to stop his subordinate. His gaze shifted between Naruto's calm face and Mizuki's miserable appearance, and he already had a judgment in his heart."I am an Anbu squad leader, codenamed 'Chestnut'."The dog-headed Ninja said sincerely, "Please hand Mizuki over to us. The Anbu will interrogate him. You can come with me to see Hokage-sama now."Naruto got the answer he wanted, casually threw the mud-like Mizuki onto the unconscious fox-faced Ninja, and dusted off his hands: "Lead the way."Leaving a few Anbu Ninjas to hurriedly step forward to support their companion, watching Naruto's swaggering figure, they dared to be angry but dared not speak...So arrogant...
